The situation It's a Thursday night, and I'm meeting Christian Wargo—Fleet Foxes bassist and frontman of Seattle band Poor Moon—at Mama's Mexican Kitchen in Belltown. "You'll see me. I'll be wearing my mother's wedding gown," Wargo texts me a few minutes beforehand. It's a false promise—he's wearing a woolly sweater with his shoulder-length hair tucked into the collar. I ask if he's the most Jesus-looking of all the Fleet Foxes. "Um, maybe. I don't really think Jesus is as cherubic as I am." He pauses. "Josh is pretty Jesusy. He's taller . . . " I remind him that Josh Tillman, the Foxes' former drummer, left the band in January. "It's true," he concedes, "I am the most Jesusy Fleet Fox."
POOR MOON With Lost in the Trees, Low Hums. Tractor Tavern, 5213 Ballard Ave. N.W., 789-3599. $10. 9 p.m. Tues., March 27.
How he got here Wargo's new band Poor Moon—himself, fellow Fox Casey Wescott, and their old friends, brothers Ian and Peter Murray—actually isn't very new. The songs on their delicately mournful Illusion EP, which Sub Pop will release on Tuesday, were recorded about a year ago, but the project was put on hold while Fleet Foxes toured the world. When Wargo returned from the tour about a month ago, he got right down to planning Poor Moon's upcoming tour.
"When you are gone that much and you come home, there is this sort of feeling of disconnection, like everyone who you're friends with has sort of just been moving on with their lives. I find it best to be busy," he says. "I miss home, but there's something magical about the road. Even when I'm home, I'll find myself taking a shower, putting on deodorant, and then I'll put it back in my suitcase."
When Wargo is in Seattle, he lives in a tiny Wallingford house, drinks at nearby Al's Tavern ("They play really weird nature shows on the TVs," he says approvingly), and cooks for himself (his specialty right now is garlic tahini). For the past three years he's been maintaining a long-distance relationship with an adorable French girl (he sends me pictures of her in a chic black dress with him at the Grammys last month) who lives in Paris. "It's true what they say about absence making the heart grow fonder," he says. "And we find ways of making it fun. We both have PlayStation 3s, so I can connect with her on her PlayStation, and so she'll be a character and I'll be a character, and I can see her! The first time it happened, I swear to God we were both so giddy, like 'Hey! It's you!' We were dancing around on the computer."
Shop talk Poor Moon played house shows under the names Peppermint Majesty, Cookie Mask, Rabbit Kingdom, and WMW before finally settling on Poor Moon, after the Canned Heat song about Blind Al Wilson's fear that the evil forces of mankind are going to blow up the moon (sample lyrics: "They might test some bomb/And scar your skin/I don't think they care/So I wonder when/They're going to destroy your face"). "I liked the idea of having sympathy for the moon," Wargo says, although he admits the idea doesn't make much logical sense. "That's the part of the song that I love most, though . . . the mystery around the whole premise. It doesn't matter if there is any foundation for his concerns. It was real to him, so that's all that mattered."
The band has already completed a full-length that Wargo says should be out in August. Of naming the album, he says, "I think the unwritten rule is, your first record is your one opportunity to just call it a self-titled." Or, I suggest, they could call it Rich Sun. He looks at me. "You've got all kinds of ideas. Will you consult with me? I need somebody like you. Every time I ask my bandmates 'What do you want to do?' "—he slumps his shoulders and mimics "I don't know." That's what happens when you're the frontman. "Yeah," he says, "That's been dawning on me a lot lately."
BTW: Outside of Mama's, Wargo takes a box of Grandpa's Wonder Pine Tar Soap out of his sweater pocket and presents it to me. "I wanted you to have this," he says enigmatically. It smells like a clean tire. I thank him, and he slinks off into the night like a cherubic, woolly moon disappearing into the horizon.

Texas police are investigating several tips in the case of a 13-year-old girl who was reported missing after she failed to return from a friend's home.
Hailey Darlene Dunn, a student and cheerleader at Colorado City Middle School in Colorado City, Texas, was last seen on Dec. 27, according to authorities.
The girl was thought to be spending the night at a nearby friend's home, but was reported missing the next day by her mother, Billie Dunn, when she did not return home.
Police say they tried to issue an Amber Alert but were unable to do so because there is "not enough information" on Hailey's disappearance.
"The minimum standard for creating an Amber Alert is knowledge of a suspect, a description of a vehicle involved in an abduction and/or a route and direction of travel," Colorado City Police Chief John Bivens said in a statement.
"This community and, in particular, the family and friends of Hailey Dunn can be absolutely confident that we will continue to pursue the issuance of an Amber Alert with each additional piece of evidence we uncover until such a time as we meet the minimum standards established by the Amber Alert system in Texas," Bivens said.
A $10,000 reward is being offered for any tips leading to the girl's whereabouts and safe return. Authorities are urging anyone with information on the girl's disappearance to contact the Colorado City Police Department at 325-728-5294.

The Akatu Institute motivates Brazilians to use the power of their daily choices as consumers to effect large-scale social change in creating a more sustainable planet.
Focus: Consumer Awareness
Geographic Area of Impact: Brazil
Model: Leveraged Non-Profit
Number of Direct Beneficiaries: 100,000 (2009)
Annual Budget: US$ 2.3 million (2009)
Percentage Earned Revenue: 0%
Recognition: Schwab Fellow of the World Economic Forum
Every act of consumption causes an impact – positive or negative – on the economy, social relations, nature and people. Consumer choice, therefore, has a lot to do with solving the present lack of sustainability of life on the planet.
Consumers can maximize the positive and minimize the negative impacts of their consumption, thereby contributing to building a better world, when they are more conscious of these impacts at the time of purchase. This is "conscious consumption" – consumption with consciousness of its impact and directed towards sustainability. Conscious consumption is an opportunity for individuals to contribute to social, economic and environmental sustainability.
Consumers and investors must demand a change in the way companies measure success. Citizens, starting with youth, need to be well informed so that they can make the correct choices regarding their consumption patterns. It is therefore important to educate people about the impacts of individual consumption and to encourage consumers to change their behaviours.
Innovation and Activities
The Akatu Institute for Conscious Consumption motivates citizens to use the power of their daily choices as consumers to effect large-scale social change. The Akatu Institute works to develop awareness, motivate and mobilize citizens to exercise their individual and collective consumer power. This is done through activities in the areas of communications and education, directed mainly at community leaders, students and employees of partner companies.
The Entrepreneur
Helio Mattar has created a number of ground-breaking organizations in Brazil that foster individual consumer consciousness and corporate social responsibility. His approach recognizes that social organizations and governments are critical partners in the diffusion of social innovation. Mattar believes that each individual, as a citizen and consumer, plays a critical role in mobilizing support for initiatives with high social impact. Pursuing this conviction, he has dedicated himself full-time to his role as President of the Akatu Institute for Conscious Consumption.
An engineer by training, with a PhD in Industrial Management and Engineering from Stanford University, Mattar served as a corporate Chief Executive Officer, a Brazilian federal government secretary and a successful business entrepreneur before dedicating himself to the non-profit sector. He co-founded the Ethos Institute for Corporate Social Responsibility, an association of companies interested in developing socially and environmentally responsible activities, and remains on its board of directors. The Akatu Institute has been recognized by the UN Global Compact as one of the 100 notable non-profit social actors with proven competency in partnering with companies.

Pocketnow-U: 3D Displays, Dimension and Drawbacks
With many of the large mobile OEMs still unimpressed with the performance of 3D displays in the mobile market, it seems we may be nearing the end of another fad. With big names like HTC, LG, Sharp, and even Nintendo throwing solid efforts behind the technology, you'd think in 2012 we'd have something significant to show for it. Sadly current glasses-free 3D technology simply stands as a bit of a gimmick with far too many drawbacks over its 2D counterpart. Before we can talk about drawbacks in the mobile sector however, we should examine how they work.
How it works:
Devices like the HTC Evo 3D, LG Optimus 3D, and the Nintendo 3DS all use what is called an autostereoscopic screen. Stereoscopy is the technique of creating the impression of physical dimension, on a 2D panel, by using two separate images. These images are generally produced to appear as if they were taken at distance of the human eyes apart. When the brain later combines these two images, a mental sense of depth in the imagery is formed. Although these images can be mentally combined by those trained in freeviewing, most users require filtered glasses made to physically separate the images going to each eye. In the case of an autostereoscopic screen, a physical parallax barrier instead facilitates this combination of images.
Limitations and Drawbacks:
As I have explained, to generate 3D imagery for the user there are quite a few extra hoops an OEM needs to jump through above and beyond a standard display. This includes higher costs for the manufacturer on the screen, added strain on the CPU to effectively render the display twice at the same resolution, more power from the backlight to produce similar brightness, a generally thicker display panel to incorporate the parallax barrier, and a much larger battery to compensate for the additional draw. All of these factors add up to a glasses free 3D experience that many describe as unimpressive.
For myself, I am unable to enjoy the parallax barrier generated autostereoscopic experience due to the severity of my corrective lenses. I end up needing to turn it off completely to use these devices at all. Thankfully I can still enjoy other 3D technologies, including lenticular autostereoscopic displays seen at CES, without issue. That being said, many others are cut out of this 3D party entirely due to other vision issues, such as amblyopia lazy eye, minor muscular imbalances or eye separation beyond average. These issues leave users either unable to view the 3D entirely or with painful headaches due to mental strain in focusing/correction.
Personally I say no, not now at least. Without stunning results I still see 3D as a bit of a gimmick everywhere. Granted when it is done right, like in Avatar, I agree that 3D certainly adds additional positive depth to the content. In the case of the Nintendo 3DS with 3D effects enabled: battery life is nearly cut in half, you are required to sit a specific constant distance, and viewing angles for onlookers are severely limited. Considering these significant drawbacks are on a mobile gaming device, that is simply not ideal. Until the significant drawbacks of 3D technology can be mitigated, I don't expect to see another onslaught of devices toting an additional dimension. Currently I most enjoy the accelerometer generated 3D effect seen on the Zune HD, and although this is not at all stereopsis, the added depth is appreciated.
What are you opinions concerning 3D mobile technology? Do you currently own a 3D device and would you recommend it to a friend over a 2D counterpart?

Because River School is not just about teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic but is also focused on teaching the character habits of the Four R's – responsibility, respect, resourcefulness, and responsiveness; our curricular program must include ways to teach these habits. To that end, we have adopted the Ho`ala Educational Philosophy which began in Hawaii in 1972. This philosophy begins with the assumptions that in order to have students model the Four R's :
1) The best way to "teach" character is by having adults model the behaviors. Middle schoolers can easily detect when adults do not "walk the talk."
2) Nurturing our students' need for sense of belonging and connection and a need for a sense of identity or self is critical to having them learn and model the Four R's.
With these two assumptions in mind, we organize as many aspects of our school to create a school to nurture all our students and to support our teachers in growing into the Four Rs themselves. We also support parents by providing a free parenting class so that they are partnering with the school to empower their children to become more responsible, respectful, resourceful, and responsive. In the end, we want to educate good citizens who will contribute to making our world a better place for all.

Attitudes Toward Sponsorship at a State Sports Festival
Windy Dees, Gregg Bennett, and Yosuke Tsuji
Department of Health and Kinesiology, Texas A & M University, College Station, TX, USA
Sponsorships generate much needed revenue to produce the event, create awareness of the activity, and aid in its promotion. Because sponsorship is such an important facet of event production and execution, further investigation regarding the effectiveness of such activations on event consumers (attendees) seems justified. The purpose of this study was to assess consumers' affective and behavioral responses to commercial sponsors at a state sports festival. Exploratory factor analysis revealed three distinct factors: attitude toward event, attitude toward commercialization, and attitude toward behavioral intent. Regression analysis indicated that attitude toward commercialization and attitude toward event were both significant (p < 0.001) predictors of consumer purchase intentions at this state sports festival. Overall, the study revealed favorable findings for this state sports festival and its constituents. Marketing implications and future research directions are discussed.
Key words: Sponsorship attitudes; Sport sponsorships; Sporting events; Measures of effectiveness

2School of Business, Economics and Law, Göteborg University, Sweden
In this exploratory research, multiple case studies of various types of festivals in two countries reveal how festival managers work with stakeholders and who they are. Stakeholders' roles are categorized as regulator, facilitator, coproducer, supplier, collaborator, audience, and the impacted, and the results show clearly that key stakeholders take multiple roles affecting the organization. Practical implications are drawn for event managers regarding the identification, evaluation, and management of stakeholder relationships. Drawing on resource dependency and stakeholder theories, a conceptual model is presented that illustrates the conclusion that festivals and events are produced within and by a set of managed stakeholder relationships. Recommendations are made for development of this line of research and theory building.

The importance of tourism expenditure has been recognized by the tourism industry. The purpose of this study was to examine how the traveler's past visitation experience and the distance traveled from their residence influenced expenditure amount upon repeat visit to a festival site. Based on several tentative predictions, this study examined the patterns of tourist expenditures according to the variables of past visitation experience, residency, length of stay, purpose of visit, and selected demographic characteristics. An intercept technique was employed to query festival attendees exiting the second World Festival for Island Cultures-Jeju. A total of 356 usable questionnaires was used for the analysis. The results led the authors to focus on the possibility that the time spent on site and its influence on expenditures may be attributable to antecedents other than travel distance and prior visitation. Future studies on visitors' expenditure behavior in terms of psychological mechanism are indicated.

The objectives of this research project were to identify tangible and intangible elements of service that exhibitors encounter while they participate in a tradeshow, to rank their relative importance, and to measure to what extent these service elements were delivered by a convention center. By understanding the importance/performance aspects of service from the customers' perspective, and the performance gaps, convention centers will be able to design and implement quality service assurance programs to maintain a competitive edge in the marketplace. Additionally, this project sought to identify predictors of exhibitor satisfaction and intent to exhibit again at the facility.

Relationships and Networks for Shaping Events Tourism: An Australian Study
Robyn Stokes
School of Advertising, Marketing & Public Relations, Queensland University of Technology, Queensland, Australia
This article shows how convergent interviews were used to identify themes and issues and refine a theoretical framework for multiple case research in the events tourism domain. In particular, the research examined how and why interorganizational relationships of public sector events development agencies impact upon events tourism strategy making in Australia. The body of knowledge about interorganizational relationships and networks and tourism strategies, including events tourism, provided the platform to study four research issues. Findings showed that the public sector environment, a diversity of strategy forms and processes, a range of network and relationship characteristics, and using incentives and disincentives for networks in strategy making were valuable themes to investigate in the case research.

Affective Event and Destination Image: Their Influence on Olympic Travelers' Behavioral Intentions
Kyriaki Kaplanidou
University of Windsor, Faculty of Human Kinetics, Windsor, Ontario, Canada
Despite the growth of academic and business significance of sport tourism, little is known about the direct emotional experiences with sport events and their impacts on travelers' behavioral intentions. The purpose of this article is twofold: a) to examine whether Olympic travelers' trip purpose and characteristics (e.g., age, previous visits, continent of residence) influence their affective event and destination images and b) to test the impact of affective destination and event images on Olympic travelers' intentions to return to the host destination, and to travel to future Olympic Games. The results revealed Olympic travelers from different continents had different affective destination images, and that older travelers felt more positive about the image of the destination. Spectators perceived the event as more cheerful compared to tourists. Finally, the perceived destination's excitement and pleasantness predicted Olympic travelers' intentions to return to Athens in the future. Specific recommendations are provided for destination and event marketers.

Mobilizing Marginal Resources for Public Events

Marginal resources are important for organizers of public events. In the present context, marginal resources are defined as resources that providers can offer to events in periods when these resources cannot be put to productive use in their regular operations. Such marginal resources are often mobilized through networks of social relationships when the resource providers regard a connection to the public event as being valuable. The mobilization of marginal resources is analyzed using a network approach and by analyzing the motives of the participating resource providers. Cases involving two public events are presented in order to illustrate the mobilization and the development of patterns and routines over time. The cases indicate that resources are mainly mobilized through networking. Building and using the legitimacy of the event are important factors in this process. The actors providing resources are motivated by a mix of interests, but most of them have an idealistic interest in the event. The mobilized resources are combined in ways that create economy of scope and scale for the organizer. Over time, a recurring event benefits from experience and learned behavior among the actors involved. It seems to be easier to mobilize resources in a community where the actors, and clusters of actors, are well connected with each other.

Where will Boris Johnson spread London's jam?
5 comments:
The last thing Boris should be in charge of is a donut ;)
- 24 June 2008 at 13:18
He's not sure where the donut is or what's in it but whatever has happened he's sure that it will be a wonderful donut eating experience.
- 24 June 2008 at 13:31
As your map shows, it is the inner boroughs especially that need the kind of help that the LDA provides. i just hope that the people who Boris employs will see beyond their political heartlands to the bigger picture of London. Deprivation in any area of London helps nobody.
I think the donut strategy was effective because it played to the perception of outer Londoners that they get a worse deal than the rest. But that is all it is- a perception. As the map shows, the inner cities are the most deprived overall and teh most in need of help. The fact that the correlation between the two maps shows that they overwhelmingly didn't vote for Boris says it all. I just hope that the Tories see beyond this to the bigger picture.

By "do less", he presumably means that he'll be an ineffective cunt. If he does indeed turn out to be a piss-poor administrator & deliver less, will he be taking a salary cut?
- 24 June 2008 at 15:10
The LDA, despite all the smears from the Standard was effective in providing a platform for small enterprises to get started. It had a remarkably low number of businesses going bust, as would be the case with commercial banks, for example.
So what will Peter Rogers do? If he is just going to act as a commercial bank, what's the point? If he is going to target deprivation what's the difference?
What does Boris think? Does he know what the LDA is?

Though just the thought of lap dancing makes me nervous, even I'm aware that the once under-the-counter sex industry, has, over the last few years, become hip. I have male cousins who think of Stringfellows the same way their fathers do the Cavalry Club; girl friends who trot off on Wednesday evenings to learn how to look seductive in a sequinned G-string, on all fours, growling. It's all a bit alarming, and it makes Ariel Levy very angry indeed.
Levy, an investigative journalist from New York, was raised by good feminists in the 1970s. Her mother is a shiatsu masseuse, into women's consciousness-raising groups; her father a consultant for Planned Parenthood. "Only 30 years ago," says Levy, "our mothers were burning their bras" and picketing Playboy. Now women are "getting implants and wearing the bunny logo as supposed symbols of our liberation". So how and why, she asks, have women regressed so fast?
Levy is clever, coherent and cross, which makes Female Chauvinist Pigs an exciting read. She starts by examining the thesis that sleaze or "raunch culture" has become the norm. She goes out with the crew to shoot footage for the reality TV phenomenon Girls Gone Wild, and watches young American women strip, snog or masturbate to camera in the hopes of winning a free baseball cap.
She interviews upmarket, upstate college girls about what they expect from a date. "Sex is an ego thing," says 17-year-old Anne. "People think it's cool. It's competitive; who can hook up with the most guys and who can have sex, who can be the most… like my friend is having her 18th birthday party and she wants to have strippers there."
So, point proven, Levy asks why 21st-century girls are so keen on debasing themselves. She receives a standard answer. "It's different now," say the hip, lap-dancing chicks. Women are post-feminist, liberated, empowered. "Everybody has to bump and grind for what they want," says Sheila Nevins, an executive at HBO. "Women's bodies are their instruments, and if I had that body I'd play it like a Stradivarius! The women are beautiful and the men are fools - what's the problem?"
The problem, for Levy, is that raunch culture isn't just a fun-loving, girl-power game. Think of the schoolkids. "None of this can possibly be ironic for teens because it's their whole truth," she says. "There's no backdrop of idealism to temper these messages." And what's empowered about behaving like a porn star, for whom money, not pleasure, is the incentive to have sex? The vast majority of women in the sex industry have experienced sexual abuse, says Levy, so using them as our erotic role models is "like using a bunch of shark attack victims as lifeguards".
Levy is a feminist, and she feels tied into the fight for female emancipation. The rise of raunch culture is, for her, a sort of horror story. Our heroine, the woman, flees from misogynist man, only to find that she's back where she started, but worse, because she's become a sneering misogynist herself. She's a Female Chauvinist Pig, using one of two strategies to deal with her femaleness, "either acting like a cartoon man who drools over strippers, says things like 'check out that ass'… or acting like a cartoon woman, who has big cartoon breasts, wears little cartoon outfits and can only express her sexuality by spinning round a pole".
So down with the ironic lap dancing, and hooray for our new defender - but what's her solution? How does Levy plan to thwart the FCPs?
"If we're really going to be sexually liberated… we need to allow ourselves the freedom to figure out what we, internally, want from sex, instead of mimicking whatever popular culture holds us to us as sexy." That would be sexual liberation, concludes Levy. And that's where, after an exhilarating 150 or so pages, I began to depart from my new guru.
For Levy, sexuality is just a gift we have, a faculty divorced from biology. She ignores the possibility that popular culture is informed by male desire, and imagines that there's a way for women to be sexual without reference to what men find sexy about them. But surely what men want women to be like is far from irrelevant to heterosexual women.
We want men to want us; it's a fact. And though I wholeheartedly support Levy's attempt to stop teenagers becoming FCPs, and to wake women up to the fact that lap dancing isn't obligatory, it is at least worth considering that the rise of raunch culture isn't a total mystery: that women always have, and always will, get a kick out of pandering to male fantasies.

Teachers Write 2013 Is Here!
Hooray! Hooray! Teachers Write is here!!!
For me, Teachers Write is one of the most anticipated times of the year! Summer as a teacher is a time to reflect, refresh and rejuvenate before the school year starts again. We spend a lot of time at the local water park and this year my husband has us participating in a park-a-day challenge where we visit a different park every day of summer vacation. That, and having a six-year-old and two-year-old running around all the time is enough to keep me busy but I'm prepared to stay up late or wake up early to sneak in my writing time and to connect with everyone who is joining in for Teachers Write this summer!
I am so excited to be teaming up with Kate Messner, author of Wake Up Missing which will be out in September, Gae Polisner, author of The Summer of Letting Go to be released this fall, and Jo Knowles, author of Living with Jackie Chan, also out in September. These women are all amazing authors but equally as supportive writing mentors. I suggest you add these titles to your TBR list for the fall but that you also check out their other books if you have yet! (Gae's new book's cover has not been revealed yet!)
For more information about what these fabulous ladies offer for Teachers Write you can visit each of their blogs and visit's Kate's Teachers Write informational post. If you haven't signed up for Teachers Write yet, the link is also on Kate's post. Be sure to sign up! Teachers Write officially starts tomorrow!
As for me, here's a super quick bio: My name is Jen Vincent, I was a hearing itinerant teacher for ten years working with students who were deaf and hard of hearing. I just finished my first year as a teacher leader in Teacher Effectiveness Initiatives in my district co-coordinating our Teacher Mentor Program for over 200 beginning and experienced teachers who are new to our district. My husband, a PE teacher, and I have been married 8 years and have 2 awesome boys: Peanut, 6, and Little Bean, (almost) 3. We live in a northern suburb of Chicago and rarely have a day that's not full of excitement.
I also have two other stories that have been rattling around in my head for a while and I plan to get them outlined and then to get through a first draft for one of them. We'll see how I juggle my revisions while also trying to draft a new novel.
Besides my fiction writing, I have lots of blogging to do this summer and I plan to write articles to submit to Choice Literacy. Just a reminder that Teachers Write isn't only for teachers who want to work on fiction! Non-fiction writing is writing, too! Phew! It''ll be a summer of writing, no doubt about it!
But enough about me! I want to hear about you and your hopes and dreams, fears and goals for Teachers Write this summer! That brings me to my first tip of the summer!
We do so much for students and others during the school year. Teachers Write is time for you to focus on yourself and your own writing. Teachers who partake in the writing process regularly and experience what it's like to write day in and day out have a different perspective on writing when it comes time to support students. Teachers Write is all about soaking in the experience of writing. Yes, we'll be sharing our writing and talking about writing but I think it helps to just remember that you are writing for you. Don't worry about who else will see it...yet. For now, just write!
Here are my rules for the Teachers Write Sunday Check-Ins:
1. We respect each other and the type of writing we do.
2. We only offer constructive criticism.
3. We are positive and encourage each other at all times.
4. We recognize and maintain this as a safe environment.
**I reserve every right to put the smackdown
on anyone who messes with our positive energy.**
on anyone who messes with our positive energy.**
Today, in the comments section:
Introduce yourself: tell a little bit about yourself and your writing.
Tell us what your writing goals are for this week and for the summer.
Share one thing that scares you and one thing that excites you about writing!

Ehhhhh, swaddup, Michelle!
Nanny State PING!
They are busy overreaching. There may not be a country anymore, after they are finished.
She is prejudice against over-weight people.
I wonder how many times a day their two daughters lie...just askin'

Look in the mirror Michelle.
How 'bout changing your spending habits, biOtch?
These two are straight out of Bizzaro land.
Having this Fat Ass constantly preaching to us about OUR eating habits with her Billion dollar "Lets Move" program is a pretty good example.
News flash: Dog Chases Tail
When miss 'two lobster snacks at the Waldorf' gets her caboose back under standard gauge, then she can think about telling who what to eat.
What is she going to do? Keep herself after class?
Or do African descendants get a pass? Obesity affirmitive action, as it were.
How many tens or hundreds of millions of dollars of OUR MONEY were wasted just in order to give this resentful, idiotic, pampered, imperious interloper the forum for spouting the most obvious cliches WE'VE ALREADY BEEN HEARING
She's already starving the public school kiddies with her low cal lunches. Now she wants to starve parents. N.T.

Vanderbilt Blanks Indiana, 10-0
May 30, 2009
Courtesy of Vanderbilt Athletics
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Vanderbilt baseball team jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back. VU starting pitcher Sonny Gray kept the Hoosier offense guessing all game as the Commodores cruised past Indiana 10-0 in a elimination game at the Louisville Regional Saturday afternoon at Jim Patterson Stadium.
Gray threw eight innings of shut-out baseball, scattering seven hits while striking out 10. It marked the second consecutive outing that Gray has posted double digit strikeouts.
Vanderbilt got a lead-off home run from Brian Harris in the bottom of the first and than put the game away in the fifth inning when they plated five more runs in the fifth, making the score 8-0. Steven Liddle and Riley Reynolds had three hits a piece to lead the Commodores while Jonathan White extended his season-high hitting streak to 10 games with two hits Saturday.

Washington — President Reagan told the star and the subject of the movie "The Killing Fields" on Friday that he is committed to working for peace in Cambodia and to helping the flood of refugees who have fled that war-torn land.
Dith Pran, the Cambodian journalist portrayed in the film by Academy Award winner Haing S. Ngor, commented after he, his wife and Ngor met with Reagan: "We are very glad he has seen the movie and is aware about the Cambodian situation. He said he would do all his best to solve the Cambodian problem."
Pran, now a New York Times photographer, said he urged the President to initiate negotiations aimed at making Cambodia "a neutral zone so East and West couldn't hit each other."
Ngor, who was recruited for the movie while working as a job counselor for Indochinese refugees in Los Angeles, said he discussed with Reagan the plight of Cambodian refugees along the Thai border and also in Los Angeles and Long Beach.
"President Reagan will take care of all my people on the border,"Ngor said he was assured. "He didn't say he would let them all into the United States. But he will look for peace for those people in my country."

NEW BRUNSWICK—Middlesex County College, in cooperation with the State Theatre, is offering a theatre class that goes behind the scenes and shows students what the world of theatre is really like. It begins Sept. 29 as part of the college's Fall II schedule.
"Students are going to be able to go behind the scenes at the State Theatre and get a true feel for the nuts and bolts of the theater and the performing arts," said Evelyn Rosa, director of the college's New Brunswick Center, which is where the course will be held.
"There will be backstage tours, meetings, workshops, and discussions with visiting performers, directors, choreographers, designers, producers, and business professionals of the State Theatre. You'll be attending shows at the State, the George Street Playhouse and Crossroads Theatre in New Brunswick, on- and off-Broadway in New York, McCarter Theatre in Princeton, and on the college's main campus in Edison.
You'll be looking at the great theatres from the cities of the past, with parallels to contemporary New Brunswick, now the heart of culture and nightlife in Central New Jersey."
Martin Kushner, a graduate of the Yale School of Drama, managing director of Jersey Artists and Musicians (JAM!) and adjunct professor in the Performing Arts Department at Middlesex County College, will be teaching the course.
The class is held Tuesdays and Thursdays through Dec. 17 from 6-7:40 p.m. at the center, which is at 140 New Street, at the intersection of Joyce Kilmer Avenue. The 3-credit course, THE 105N, will cover all facets of theater: production, performance, and management. There is a $170 theater course fee (in addition to tuition) that will cover all performance ticket prices and some transportation.
Apply and register in person or online at www.middlesexcc.edu. For additional information, contact the New Brunswick Center at 1-732-745-8866 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lord Kennet asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Henley: All are bound by the Official Secrets Acts and, in addition, they may be restricted from participating in certain projects with which they were associated during their service with the department.
Lord Kennet asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Henley: All are bound by the Official Secrets Act and by any restriction which the department may have placed on their application for employment with the prospective employer. They are under no obligation to pass on to the department any information which might be beneficial to the Crown.
Lord Kennet asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Henley: My department keeps no record of this information.
Lord Kennet asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Henley: We have seen no evidence that United States experimental aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicles have flown in UK airspace and no authorisation has been given by Her Majesty's Government to the United States Air Force (or any other US body) to operate such aircraft within or from the United Kingdom.
Lord Tebbit asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Henley: The question of UK participation in Stage 3 of Economic and Monetary Union is unlikely to be a real issue for the present Parliament because of the lack of economic convergence across Europe. As the Chancellor has said, the UK has a completely open option on when and whether to participate in Stage 3. The Government recognise the significance of any decision on participation in Stage 3, and, through the UK Protocol to the Maastricht Treaty, they have ensured that such a move could not be made without a full Act of Parliament.
Lord Tebbit asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Henley: EC expenditure proposals which require a formal decision by the Council are deposited in Parliament and are subject to the parliamentary scrutiny arrangements of European legislation. The explanatory memoranda on the proposals include a section on the financial implications for the UK where applicable.
Lord Hooson asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Henley: There are no reliable estimates of annual tax loss. But the annual yield from the Inland Revenue's counter-evasion and anti-avoidance work has risen from £137.9 million in 1979-80 to £1,609.6 million in 1993-94.
Lord Hooson asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Henley: The budgetary authority allocated 139.14 million ecu (£105 million) in the 1994 budget to programmes to fight fraud. This sum was additional to provision for administrative resources within the Commission which are used to fight fraud. This compares with an outturn of 115.285 million ecu (£87 million) in 1993. The budget for anti-fraud programmes includes both funds spent directly by the Commission and funds available to member states to co-finance new controls and new anti-fraud mechanisms.
United Kingdom receipts from the EC budget for anti-fraud programmes are included with other departmental receipts. Detailed information on these receipts is not held centrally. However, the United Kingdom does take advantage of Community financing. For example, following the introduction of Integrated Control and Administration Systems (IACS), some £7.8 million was taken up by the United Kingdom in 1993 and 1994 to meet part of the cost of introducing a computer database to record details of areas and livestock numbers subject to support. The United Kingdom has also taken advantage of the provision for computer systems in the CAP export refund area, where Customs received £185,759 and £114,679 in 1992 and
Lord Hooson asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Henley: No comprehensive estimate is readily available.

This is a stupidly clammy sauce, so full of clams, it should really be called clams with pasta. It's the monster truck rally of clam sauces. The clams in the shell are beautiful and whole and delicious, but the sauce is riddled with plump morsels of chopped clams, so every bite of pasta is filled with clams, not just the forkfuls that are accompanied by a whole clam from the shell. And the sauce is rich with simmered garlic, bright with white wine and vibrant with red pepper flakes and parsley. More red pepper flakes are welcome, either in the sauce itself, or passed at the table for those who like it hotter.
3 pounds littleneck clams
2 tablespoons cornmeal
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound dried fettuccine or linguine
1 cup dry white wine
1 ½ cups chicken broth or stock (the richer the better)
1 pound chopped fresh clams
½ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus more to garnish
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Scrub the clams. Fill a very large bowl full of cold water, and add a generous tablespoon of salt and the cornmeal. Soak the clams in the water at room temperature for one hour, or overnight in the refrigerator. Rinse them well in a colander under cold running water. Discard any that are open.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, until the garlic is soft and a very light golden color; do not allow the garlic to brown. Stir in the red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt, and cook the pasta according to package directions. You'll want to cook it until just al dente, and then it will finish cooking in the sauce.
- Raise the heat under the garlic oil to medium-high. Add the white wine, and the clams in the shell. Cover, bring to a simmer and after about five minutes, as the clams open, remove them with tongs to a side bowl and reserve them (this may happen over the course of several minutes; discard any that stay closed). Add the chicken broth or stock to the pot and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer and reduce a bit, for about five minutes.
- When the pasta is just al dente, drain it and add it to the simmering broth mixture, along with the chopped clams and parsley. Simmer, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes, until the pasta is cooked to your liking, absorbs the flavors of the sauce and the clams are cooked. Pour into a serving bowl and top with the cooked clams in the shell. Sprinkle on additional parsley if desired.

Showcase: Eldar Craftworld Iyanden #3
Part 3 of the showcase concentrates on the vehicles in the army for my Iyanden Eldar. Vehicles in Eldar terminology basically means skimmers. And you can never have enough of those bad boys! More after the jump!
First up are the Wave Serpents. Long argued as the most cost effective of all the 40k transports and have gone under several rules changes over the years. The previous codex "Shield Gun" was considered one of the most broken rules in recent history, and got squished immediately under the newest iteration.
The Iyanden force I have contains just a couple of Serpents at this time, although I have 4 more in a WIP stage (admittedly in WIP for a few years...)
The rest of the Eldar skimmers come with serious guns.
The Falcon was one of the best vehicles (imo) for a long long time. Lots of weapon destroyed results needed to take it down, and today is still as tough as ever with the jink ability etc
I inherited a couple of Falcons with all the FW added parts and gave them a repaint. Those are the ones with the blue painted canopy as they came glued on already.
You can really see the difference in painting from hand painted to airbrushed versions over the years of collecting them
The bigger guns are on the Fire Prisms, here showing a new variant and 2 older ones with the metal crystal matrix
I painted the guns on these identically to the Warp Spider weapons as its the same technology.
Finally, the Forgeword Warp Hunter skimmers are included here as that fits them better than part 4 of the showcase. Again, over the years the rules of the guns has changed a number of times, but its still pretty damn lethal, and looks like a mini Cobra
Ii did have aspirations of having 6 of each variety of the skimmer variants. In fact I think I own the models to complete this, but other projects and a change from painting a lot of yellow ceased that progress. I am sure I will return to that concept one day. The theory behind the 6 was the original and second version of Apocalypse, where you could take formations of 6 Falcons, or Fire Prisms for example. 6 Fire Prisms could combine fire to give a Strength D blast. I think that now still exists in the new version of the Apoc rules...
The final part of the showcase contains the Forgeworld elements... stay tuned!

Father Pat's Pastoral Ponderings
Sunday of the Blind Man
May 24, 2009
To grasp the meaning of Jesus' unique self-identification, "the Son of Man," we should begin, I think, with those dominical sayings that most clearly evoke the vision of "a son of man" in Daniel 7. These sayings, which form significant blocks in the gospels, generally have to do with the Last Judgment and the end of history.
The clearest and most dramatic example comes in the scene of Jesus' trial before the Sanhedrin: "Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, 'Are You the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed?' Jesus said, 'I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven'" (Mark 14:61-62). It is worth observing that this solemn word—and warning!—was Jesus' final declaration to the leaders of Judaism. He had nothing further to tell them.
The title, "the Son of Man," first refers, then, to Jesus' claim to be the final arbiter of history. Because this term was so prominent in apocalyptic expectations among the Jews at the time, none of Jesus' hearers failed to appreciate the significance of this declaration.
What was new in Jesus' claim before the Sanhedrin was its public and official setting, because He had already used the same apocalyptic language in discourses to His disciples. He had said, for instance, "Whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels" (8:38). Or again, "When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes" (Matthew 10:23). Similar examples abound (cf. 13:41; 16:27-28; 19:28; 24:27,30,37,39,44; 25:31).
As we shall consider presently, this apocalyptic note does not exhaust the meaning of the term "the Son of Man" as Jesus used it. His allusions to Daniel's vision, however, centered on a lively point at which Jesus addressed the expectations of His contemporaries, are the easiest to grasp.
That apocalyptic dimension of Jesus' self-understanding defies every attempt to "de-historicize" Him—to abstract His teaching from the existential setting of His life and death. Although many writers, especially in recent times, have engaged in such attempts, they have invariably changed the Gospel into some theory of ethical and religious philosophy—a theory quite separable from the person of Jesus Himself. Whatever else may be said of "the historical Jesus," He was certainly motivated by apocalyptic concerns.
Moreover, it is perhaps the case that a renewed attention to this apocalyptic dimension of the Gospel—"a special and extreme mode of presenting the drama of saving history" (Von Balthasar)—is particularly needful today, by way of response to the secular messianisms, utopian hopes, and revolutionary impulses of modern culture and politics.
I make this suggestion in spite of two risks:
First, those secular efforts may co-opt the Gospel itself, because many Christian activists are marvelously naïve. Attention to the apocalyptic dimension of the Gospel may easily be confused with recent efforts by some Christians to clothe essentially secular programs with a veneer of theological respectability.
I have in mind, not only the more obvious examples like Liberation Theology, but also a currently popular confusion of material prosperity with moral improvement. All of us have heard, for instance, a common political hypothesis which says, "Since abortions are performed when poor women are deprived of genuine choices, we can stop (or lessen) abortions by working for a more equal and just distribution of wealth." (Substitute "bank robbery" for "abortion," and the argument works equally well.)
Confusions like these can be avoided by directing adequate attention to other aspects of "the Son of Man," which I will discuss presently, especially the theme of the Cross.
Second, apocalyptic imagery and language readily lend themselves to fanaticism and unbridled speculation. As we see in some contemporary examples of preaching and publication, this danger is real, but it is hardly insuperable. Understanding and discretion are required. The most apocalyptic book of the New Testament testifies that apocalyptic images require special discernment: Hode ho nous ho echon sophian—"This requires a mind that has wisdom" (Revelation 17:9).
Apocalyptic is a branch of dogmatics. Holy Scripture, in not isolating eschatology from other aspects of doctrine, provides the model. So does the Creed, which, after listing the other essential dogmas of our confession, goes on to proclaim, "He will come again in glory to judge."

Abbott axe 240 jobs at Clonmel plant
Massive jobs blow for Clonmel's biggest employer
Abbott Vascular, which announced approximately 240 redundancies at its Clonmel operation last week, has confirmed it will make a "multi-million dollar investment" at the plant this year to enable new medical devices to be manufactured there but it does not expect at this stage to hire extra staff to work on these new products.
The company's decision to axe approximately 200 permanent staff at the Cashel Road plant and to also lay off a further 39 employees when their contracts expire at the end of March has been greeted with huge disappointment and concern in the town and county.
The plant currently has 1400 workers and is Clonmel's biggest employer. It was the only one of Abbott's 11 facilities in Ireland to be hit with job cuts.
The job losses come just three months after 150 temporary staff at the plant were laid off at the end of November.
There was speculation last October when that first tranche of job losses were revealed that more redundancies were coming down the line. And while those fears have now proved to be correct, last Thursday's announcement still came as a shock and concern was voiced by politicians and business leaders about the impact the loss of so many wage packets will have on local businesses and shops.
Political, local authority and business leaders, however, welcomed the fact that Abbott Vascular has stated that the Clonmel "facility remains strategically important to Abbott's global vascular manufacturing network" and that it plans to invest in the Clonmel plant this year to enable it manufacture newer, advanced medical devices.
Mayor of Clonmel Cllr Billy Shoer said he was hopeful the job losses may be just temporary and the workers may be re-employed at some stage.
"I know there's a lot of rationalisation taking place and if this move helps to safeguard other jobs in Abbott, then that is some consolation," he said.
Mayor Shoer's hope that the extra investment Abbott plans to make at the Clonmel plant will ultimately result in more jobs being created there in the future, was echoed by several other senior political figures in South Tipperary.
But when The Nationalist asked Abbott Vascular whether the extra investment in the plant would result in the creation of extra jobs, the company responded: "We are making a multi-million dollar investment in the site to bring new, advanced (medical device) products such as our bioresorbable vascular scaffold to the site. At this point, we do not anticipate that we will require additional staff."
And when asked if any further redundancies were planned at its Clonmel plant, the company said. "Clonmel remains a strategically important manufacturing facility for Abbott. We regularly review and make adjustments to our workforce to meet the needs of the business. We do not speculate on future actions."
Abbott said the redundancies were part of adjustments it was making to "meet the evolving needs of the business and to remain competitive in a challenging global environment."
It explained the job cuts related only to Abbott's vascular medical devices division and Clonmel was the only Irish site manufacturing these medical devices, used in treating vessel diseases of the heart and peripheral blood vessels.
It is understood the company is phasing out production of a number of older products at the plant and most of the jobs losses will be in manufacturing and manufacturing support.
The company said it was seeking to achieve the estimated 200 redundancies on a voluntary basis and began a 30-day consultation with its employees in relation to this last Friday. The plant's work force is not represented by trade unions.
While the 39 contract workers will be let go at the end of March, the redundancy process for permanent staff is expected to be completed in April.
Abbott said it regretted the impact of "this adjustment" on our employees in Clonmel and stressed that its focus would be on supporting the workers who are losing their jobs.
The company said it did not publicly reveal the terms of its redundancy scheme but it has been reported that workers are to be offered six weeks pay per year of service on top of statutory redundancy up to a maximum of two and a half years pay. The company said it will also provide assistance with training and opportunities, CV preparation, interview skills and financial advice.
County Manager Billy McEvoy said he had contacted the company and offered South Tipperary Co. Council's support and assistance where possible to help staff losing their jobs.
He said the Council will be working with the IDA, Enterprise Ireland, Limerick Institute of Technology, the VEC, FAS, the Department of Social Protection and South Tipperary Development Company to assist staff to secure training, education and new jobs.
"We did this before when Cordis closed down in Cashel and it seemed to work well. We will be in continual dialogue with Abbott."
Clonmel Chamber chief executive Brian Cleary, meanwhile, said the Chamber plans to offer free training to Abbott staff facing redundancy.
In the Dail last week, Independent TD Seamus Healy called on Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton to set up a task forcing on securing new jobs for South Tipperary in view of the Abbott job cuts and other job losses in the county. He also asked the Mnister how many vacant advance factories and private factory facilities in South Tipperary were visited last year by industrialists.
Minister Bruton responded that IDA Ireland informed him there were five site visits by potential investors from overseas to South Tipperary last year.
Enterprise Ireland, which assists indigenous companies, dealt with 77 client companies in South Tipperary employing 2,151 people.
He added that the IDA was actively promoting the former J& Cordis plant in Cashel and the ongoing development of the 300 acre industry and technology partk at Ballingarrane.
In relation to the call for a jobs task force, the Minister said a South East Action Plan was put in place in 2011 following the Talk Talk job losses in Waterford. This involved all the agencies working together to promote the South East, including South Tipperary, and to find ways of increasing job creation in the region.
He said he was heartened by the progress being make on this plan and assured Deputy Healy he would continue to have a focus both on South Tipperary and on the wider South East region, which has been badly affected in recent years.
In relation to the Abbott job losses, Minister Bruton said it was a really tough day for the workers at Abbott in Clonmel but he was heartened that the company was "absolutely committed" to the Clonmel site and will be making investments that will improve the quality of production at the site and make it more competitive in the long term.

The World Cheese Awards took place in Spain last week and once again proved an inspiration to us all.
The great and the good from the world of cheese gathered for the event, held this year in the wonderful city of San Sebastian, Spain. Jeremy Bowen, who leads our wholesale cheese team, was a member of the prestigious judging panel, and had his work cut out tasting some of the best cheeses from seasoned artisan producers. Competition was as fierce as ever - producers work hard to achieve an award, bringing fame to their cheese and recognition as a producer of distinct quality.
Hundreds of deserving cheeses were presented for judging and Super Gold Awards are given to the very best of the best from each category – only a handful of these special accolades are given each year, so they're a truly special accolade to win.
Jeremy described the tense atmosphere of the judging:
"And after a briefing by John Farrand, the cheese awaits. Honoured to be a table captain, thank you Christabel, and thrilled with my three partners in crime - Julia Perez Lozano (a food journo from Madrid), the legend that is Juan Luis Royuela (cheesesemaker), plus Scott Crichton (Director Abergavenney Food Festival). We did our table proud and judged without squabble or madness. An honour and pleasure but our table was a tad 'cheese safe' with nothing screaming or shouting world-class.
"And the winner is … (drum roll please)…Each table put forward their Best Cheese (Super Gold) and then a panel of Worldwide Cheese Guru's taste and challenge .
"Norwegian Blue with 72 points was named World Cheese 2016, a small cooperative produced cheese that the judges felt truly screamed best in show. Kathy Strange from Wholefoods USA and Suzy O'Reagan from Woolworths SA truly championing this distinct yet subtle blue cheese.
"Cheese is the hero and our amazing Judges Dinner at the Museo San Telmo stamped a Basque seal of Queso quality on the day. Amazing venue with wonderful local canapés (I never knew anchovies were hand filleted). Lovely to relax with other judges and talk the talk of the day, plus enjoy a spectacular San Sebastian dinner."
Naturally, we are now going to explore whether we can stock this wonderful Norwegian Blue which is currently available only in its home country.
Try the Super Gold Winners today!
Prestigious WCA Super Gold Awards go to the best cheeses in each category and we were delighted to see that Caerphilly Gorwydd, Lincolnshire Poacher, Montgomery's Cheddar and Mont d'Or from our supplier, the Fromagerie Arnaud, were given the recognition they truly deserve.
These have always been popular in our shops and this time of year are a great choice for your Christmas cheese. They make a lovely combination on a cheeseboard, and, with eminence at the World Cheese Awards, are the perfect treat to include in a Christmas cheese hamper.
If you haven't tried them yet, you can buy them on our Cheese Counter and have them delivered straight to your door. If you want them for Christmas, you can pre-order now and choose your preferred delivery date.

An exclusive rafting program in the exotic Lake of Periyar, the plan is said to be a full day plan that starts around 8 am in the morning from Boat Landing. The medley of habitats is traversed before the group of rafters get into the bamboo made rafts. On the way to river rafting, the rafters get to see a beauty of nature in its full bloom through the bird life as well as arboreal animals. Apart from this, the rafters get to experience the site of panoramic view of lush green hills with elephants, sambar and gaur. They can be easily viewed on the edges of the lake making it possible for the people to enjoy a wonderful rafting experience.
On playing with the gurgling water of the lake, the team of rafters happen to come back to the Boat Landing by 5 pm in the evening. As a part of security, an armed guard with 4 guides happen to accompany the rafters; so that the tourists may not come across any trouble on their way. And what's more, the tourists happen to get tea, snacks as well as the packed luncheons on the way to the rafting. As an adventure program, it happens to entertain the tourists and allow them to explore the best of greenery scattered everywhere in the Periyar wildlife sanctuary. The main idea of doing river rafting is to enjoy the gushing and cold water of the river.
As an essential part of the eco-friendly tourism, river rafting happens to be an entertaining program that allows the nature lovers to experience some of the best aspects of the surrounding sections. Well, the guides accompanying the tourists are generally tribal people, who are aware of every corner of the dense forest. And this makes it easy for the rafters to understand the exotic Periyar forests. Tourists tend to be passing through the bushy forests on trek, which is furthered by a three hours rafting program via the catchments area of the Periyar Tiger Reserve. Certainly, the sections of the forest are extremely rich and naturally diverse place in the Western Ghats.
When it comes to planning for the river rafting programs, it is always better to get it organized through various travel agencies that have web presence. Certainly, the best part of selecting the bamboo rafting in Thekkady tour package from the online travel agencies is that the tourists tend to get varied rates. This allows them to create options for saving on the costs that can be utilized in buying other things. So, researching over the travel agencies for organizing everything is the best thing to do to enjoy the river rafting trip to the most.

I was going to start a new Easter song this week but I decided to scrap it all together (that's the beauty of having a pretty flexible monthly schedule and a totally flexible pianist!) and sing I Know That My Savior Loves Me for Easter...MUCH easier! So now that I've freed up a week, I'm going to work with the kids on He Sent His Son, but we'll be doing a LITTLE musical theory and implementing it into our song!
Time permitting, we could hum the song while a child reads the scripture that is suggested and I'll circle it. A great time to give a brief testimony about the validity of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon.
I've put all these theory notes in a document and printed it HERE if that helps! This is how I'll remember everything I want to cover!

This thesis addresses media representations of contagious diseases. Focusing on the Ebola outbreak of 1995 and the SARS outbreak of 2002-2003, I examine the metaphorical language used to describe the diseases, and interrogate how the media contribute to Lakoff and Johnson's metaphorical cognitive framework. I explore how ideas about contagious diseases reify Mary Douglas' understandings of contagion and liminality, and ultimately, demonstrate that the media engender a fear of contagious diseases beyond their medical realities. By associating Ebola and SARS with elements such as war and nature, the media extend the power of the disease and make it imminently threatening. Thus, the media's use of metaphors manipulates and alters pre-existing ideas about disease to create a new cognitive framework within which we understand infectious diseases.
