After one of the most dominating defensive performances in school history, Oregon gets set to face another challenge tonight–the "Air-Raid" attack of the Washington State Cougars.
WSU, coming off an embarrassing loss at home to Colorado, offers Oregon another chance to hone their defensive skills, as the Cougars will look to unleash their passing game upon the Ducks.
Washington State entertains Oregon at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington, home of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks. Oregon, whose fans travel as well as any Pac-12 team, could in theory play it's fifth consecutive home game–it is expected that the Ducks may have more fans in the stands than the Cougars.
Oregon, 4-0 (1-0), seems to be playing at a different level defensively than they have at any time under Chip Kelly. After getting their first shutout since 2003 (although in fairness, the defense held Colorado scoreless last season…Thanks, Cliff Harris), the Ducks are flying high, with a defense that is dangerous on all the levels. The line, going eight deep, has been brilliant against the run so far, while the linebackers and secondary completely shut down the passing attack of Arizona.
On paper this seems to be a mismatch (Oregon is entering as 29 point favorites), but with Mike Leach and his passing attack on the opposite sideline, nothing is guaranteed. And the Cougars, even at its lowest points under former coaches Bill Doba and Paul Wulff, have always played the Ducks strong.
A few storylines stand out as we head into tonight's game
Say what you want about last Saturday–Arizona blew chances, missed open opportunities, didn't execute–but Oregon's defense was simply brilliant. A noticeable change has occurred since Kelly took over in 2009. Whether it's a coincidence or not, the defense is playing with a fierceness that they didn't have when Mike Bellotti was running the show. It appears as if Nick Aliotti has been unleashed, and is playing at a style befitting of a Kelly led-team–fast and furious.
And it's starting to pay off in a big way.
After sub-par performances by the third-and-fourth stringers to start the season, Aliotti told us all not to panic. He said things were going to pan out, and that he was confident with where his players were at.
It must have been coach speak, right? But after the shutout versus Arizona, it looks like he knew what he was talking about. Despite the praise being heaped upon him, Aliotti, as always, was quick to deflect the praise.
"I want those kids to get a lot of love, and my assistant coaches, if you write an article, to mention their names," Aliotti said. "(Coaches Jerry) Azzinaro, (John) Neal, (Don) Pellum… they did a great job of preparing their kids. So let's share some love with the rest of those guys."
Make no mistake, that was not the best offense Rich Rodriguez has ever had. But it's still potent, ranked in the top-10 in the country coming into last Saturday, and with the way the Oregon offense turned the ball over and put the defense in bad spots, to pitch the shutout is very special.
Another challenge awaits this week. Nick and his boys are definitely looking forward to it.
After four games in the comfy confines of Autzen stadium, freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota will finally step out and take his talents on the road to face a hostile crowd, ready to tear him apart.
Maybe. Almost. Well, not really…
When Oregon and Washington State kick off tonight in Seattle, it's very conceivable that the Ducks could have more fans in the stands than the Cougs.
After a rough 2-2 start, including a loss to Colorado, fans in Pullman have discovered that the power of Leach might take a couple of years to take off.
Playing in a half-empty stadium, with wide sidelines and a mixed crowd isn't exactly the most daunting of challenges for Mariota; but it's a good start for getting him out of his comfort zone and dipping a toe into the deep end.
The more experience the young Ducks can get at this point in the season will pay great dividends later in the year when teams like USC and Stanford won't be as forgiving as Arizona was when mistakes are made.
After facing off against Rich Rodriguez last week, Chip Kelly will get his first crack facing another offensive innovator when Mike Leach and his Cougars take on the Ducks tonight. Leach, best known for his decade long tenure at Texas Tech, could not be more opposite of Kelly, in almost every way. Well, except two.
They both put up points; a lot of points. And they win…a lot.
Leach, exuberant and outgoing, will literally throw the ball all over the field. His passing attacks, which led the country six times while at Tech, will test the young Oregon secondary, who assuredly have not seen anything like what they will face tonight.
Kelly, whose teams rely more on the run, have shown glimpses this season of becoming formidable through the air. Mariota, who two weeks ago became the first freshman in Oregon history since 1991 (Danny O'Neil) to pass for 300 yards in a game, is averaging 28 pass attempts per game. Leach, with his two headed quarterback attack of Jeff Tuel and Connor Halliday, is averaging 46.
It's strength-versus-strength when WSU's passing attack meets up with Oregon's secondary. That matchup will be the determining factor in how this one plays out.
An offense built on tempo and fluidity, Oregon has appeared shaky at times this season, often killing drives with penalties and turnovers. Not all is bad, however. The team is still averaging 52 points per game, and over 500 yards…all the while being led by a freshman quarterback, who seemingly never makes the same mistake twice.
The key for Oregon against Washington State–who are terrible in every facet on defense–is to simply hang onto the ball. The Ducks have appeared unstoppable when they don't harm themselves, and tonight should provide the same challenge. The Cougars are ranked 105th nationally in total defense, giving up over 470 yards per game.
Kenjon Barner, kept in check for most of the season, was held to 86 yards last week against Arizona's 3-3-5 stack defense, which seemed to confuse the Oregon linemen. Against Washington State, under first year defensive coordinator Mike Breske, look for the Ducks to get Barner and freshman Byron Marshall on track early. Keeping Mariota out of trouble will be key, especially with the Cougs ability to sling the ball around once they get it back on offense.
If Oregon can get the ground game going, they seem to have two freshman receivers who are ready to step up in Bralon Addison and Dwayne Stanford, the leading receivers against Arizona. Addison, the jitterbug, and Stanford, the 6'5″ Lavasier Tuinei clone, could finally give Oregon the consistency at receiver that they have been lacking since Jeff Maehl and DJ Davis left Eugene.
Washington State is led defensively by Deone Bucannon and Travis Long, who lead the team with 59 tackles between them. Long, the senior linebacker, already has 5.5 sacks on the season, and will be the man charged with keeping Mariota in the pocket.
Expect sophomore Connor Halliday to get the start at quarterback, where he is averaging a staggering 390 yards per game through the air. Receiver Marquess Wilson, considered a top-10 NFL talent entering the season, has been relatively quiet as defenses have keyed in on him. That, however, has allowed freshman Gabe Marks to step up, and he has had three games of over 75 yards.
Chip Kelly knows, despite the slow start for Washington State, the dangers that a Mike Leach led team possess.
"They're dangerous because he's going to throw it 60, 70, 80 times against you, so he's always winging it down the field." Said Oregon Ducks head coach Chip Kelly on Tuesday, fresh off his team's 49-0 victory over Arizona. "I think because their mentality is to pass first, pass second, pass third, they're always going to be in the ballgame."
Oregon's secondary, so maligned much of the past decade, has been simply lock-down so far this season. After four games, the Ducks are allowing just 18 points per game, despite giving up 31 points in a meaningless second half against Arkansas State.
The Ducks have done all this despite not getting consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks, only totaling nine sacks through the first four weeks. That means the secondary has been shutting its opponents down despite having more time to defend–a true testament to just how good this squad is.
Facing the passing attack of the Cougars will be a new challenge for the Ducks, as this is the first time they have ever faced a Mike Leach team. With only four games of film to go off of, a few surprises could be in order. The talent gap between the two teams, however, is simply too great. The Cougars, for all the yards they can put up, don't have the man power to keep the Ducks defense down for long.
While initially a scary matchup, Washington State's struggles through four weeks should ease fan's minds entering tonight's game. The Cougars will get their yards, and probably get their points in the end. Oregon's offense, however, should have no trouble walking all over the Cougar defense, which can't stop the run or the pass.
This one will look scary for a while–perhaps even through three quarters–but in the end Oregon is simply too good for Mike Leach and co. to keep up. A fun game, a fun atmosphere and a fun Duck victory.

2018 – Gedenkjahr/ Remembrance Year - 2018
Several important anniversaries will happen on 2018: in his New Year's speech Austria's President VanDerBellen mentioned the 100th birthday of the Republic of Austria ("in 1918, shortly after the end of WWI and the collapse of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, only a few people could imagine the survival of this young republic, not to mention that it developed in such a beautiful and successful country as it is today"). He also referred to the darkest side of Austria's recent history, 80 years ago, the so called "Anschluss" to Nazi Germany. (VdB: "let us remember that we Austrians were victims and perpetrator. This remembrance must stay alive, racism, anti-Semitism, and destroying nationalism must never return again.") . https://www.oesterreich100.at/
Stay tuned for announcements here in the Seattle area!

Short summary:
Dual citizenship is not allowed except:
· Persons who obtain dual citizenship at the time they were born (child born in the US to Austrian parent)
· If a person got granted the permission to maintain Austrian citizenship ("Beibehaltung der Staatsbürgerschaft") by the respective "Landesregierung"
Please note: An Austrian citizen who wants to keep his/her Austrian citizenship in the case of acquiring US citizenship MUST be granted the right to keep the citizenship before he/she pursues any steps directed at obtaining US citizenship. The right to keep one's citizenship is granted (if it is granted) under the condition that US nationality is then acquired within a period of two years.
If you do not follow this sequence you will lose the Austrian citizenship automatically and it will be very hard, if not impossible to regain it.
The Austrian Consulate General kindly requests to contact about details (before you apply) your Austrian provincial government ("Landesregierung") via telephone or E-Mail. Or best, in person during your next visit to Austria.

Honorarkonsulartagung in Wien , Reflections
End of May I had the privilege to participate inthe Honorarkonsultagung in Vienna, a get-together of Honorary Consuls from around the world arranged every 10 years by the Aussenministerium. Out of the 300 HCs world wide about 1/2 of them could join. It was very well organized, we got a thorough update on what is happening in Austria and our duties as HC. We were treated with delicious authentic Austrian food, an elegant dinner at the Naturhistorischem Museum with a nightly view of the glistering city from the roof top of the Museum, a trip to the Wachau, and many more exciting moments. Highlights included a visit with the Austrian President Dr. Fischer and the Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz. It was an inspiring and fun time we could spend in Vienna deepening our commitment to Austria and to serving all Austrians in our region.
May 14-15, 2015
Visit of Honorary Consul to Yakima, WA
It was a pleasure to follow an invitation by IWAY (http://www.iway-yakima.org/), arranged by longtime Austria Club member Freya Burgstaller, and to give a presentation about Austria, that was preceded by delicious traditional Austrian cuisine, Goulash and Kaiserschmarrn! Austrian wines, provided graciously by Freya rounded up a very enjoyable evening. A visit of the German language class at West Valley High School provided another possibility to promote highlights about Austria. Freya and the small but vibrant Austrian community in Yakima is hoping for a follow-up visit organized by the Club.
March 11-15, 2015:
Visit of a Delegation to Seattle from the Austrian Consulate General, Los Angeles:
Speaking for the Austrian Community of the greater Seattle area I want to express gratitude to the Austrian Consulate General, Los Angeles, for extending a complete consulate service during the Amtstage March 12-13, 2015. The huge demand showed how much appreciated this service was. Especially we want to thank Ms. Andrea Mais-Siffert for her patient, helpful and professional support to Austrians to get their "paper work" in order.
Busy days included a meeting with the Lt. Governor Brad Owen who arranged thoughtfully that the Austrian Flag was raised during our visit at the Capitol. Trade Commissioner Dr. Rudolf Thaler joined to emphasize the importance of in the economic exchange between Austria and Washington State.
The Österreicher Dinner at the Salmon House was a lovely evening where we could get to know our Honorable Consul General Ulrike Ritzinger.
A luncheon on Friday provided GC Ritzinger the opportunity to meet with other members of the Consular Association of Washington.
Definitely the highlight of this visit was the presence of GC Ritzinger at the 15th Viennese Ball. Her charming, yet natural personality was admired and no icebreaker was needed for many to talk to her, get a photo shoot, or even to dance with her. She brought a piece of "Heimat" to the Northwest.
Herzlichen Dank!

Airline passenger service is returning to Pease International Tradeport.
Allegiant Air, one of many carriers that attempted to serve the passenger market out of the Seacoast airport, is returning, after a six year hiatus. The airline and several others pulled out because of competition from Manchester and Boston airports.
But Eric Fletcher, a representative of the Las Vegas based airline, says that he believes the operation will be a success this time.
"Fares in Boston have continually gone up. This airport has become more and more convenient by comparison. This airport has become more and more convenient by comparison. Those are just a few of the factors that we considered that make this time perfect."
Fletcher says that the airline plans two trips to the Sanford Florida Airport near Orlando on a weekly basis, on Fridays and Mondays at a $100 round trip introductory fee.
Pease Development Authority Director Dave Mullen says that the airport offers Allegiant incentives to use the facility.
"We don't charge landing fees, we don't charge fuel flowage fees, we don't charge passenger facility fees, so that's all an attempt to be as aggressive as we can to drive down the operating cost for the airline."
Mullen says talks with Allegiant to restart service began over two years ago.
Allegiant plans to begin its service to Florida on October 25th, and says that it may expand routes based on the success of that route.

May 7, 2009 (CHICAGO) --Someone removed an American flag that was flying upside down at St. Sabina Church Thursday. Father Michael Pfleger decided to raise the upside down flag Tuesday to bring attention to the rising number of children dying violent deaths in Chicago.
The flag code says an upside-down flag is a sign of distress. The action offended some veterans.
Someone took down the flag.
But on Thursday afternoon, the priest had a group of men raise another flag.
Father Pfleger says he will keep flying the American flag upside down until something is done to stop the violence.

Carlotta Monti
Carlotta Monti, an actress whose stormy relationship with actor W.C. Fields was chronicled in a book and movie and who battled unsuccessfully for his fortune, has died. She was 86.
Monti died Wednesday at the Motion Picture & Television Home & Hospital in suburban Woodland Hills after a long illness. The cause of death was not announced.
Monti, the vivacious actress who appeared in such films as "The Merry Widow," the original "Ben Hur" and "One Night of Love," was Fields' companion from 1933 until his death in 1946.
Their relationship was the subject of the 1976 movie "W.C. Fields and Me," starring Rod Steiger as Fields and Valerie Perrine as Monti. It was based on Monti's book about the couple's tumultuous years together.
It was not until Fields died that she achieved her true fame through her struggle for a part of his $ 770,000 estate. She spent years fighting Fields' estranged wife and relatives, including some who claimed to be illegitimate children.
In the end, Monti was awarded two trust funds that paid her about $ 50 a week but she said the money ran out in 1954. She worked for 20 years as a technician for Technicolor until 1972.
Monti is survived by a sister and a brother.

August not only saw the delivery of The Vegan Kind lifestyle box TVK22 but also the quarterly Beauty Box! I absolutely love receiving two TVK boxes in one month and it does feel like all your Christmases have come at once!
In this months TVK Beauty Box we were fortunate enough to receive the following goodies:
Dr Organic Dead Sea Mineral Mud Mask - I gave this face mask a little try out straight away and really enjoyed it. I love the mud like consistency of it and once applied I feel as though I could really feel it working away as it tingled my skin. After washing it off in the shower my skin felt so soft! However, following this trial run I did have a small outbreak of a couple of spots but I guess this means it's doing its job right!? I'm already looking forward to having another little pamper session and using it again.
Faith in Nature 3 in 1 Facial Wipes - I love receiving things like facial wipes because they are just so handy to have and there's rarely anything you can dislike about them. Faith in Nature also happens to be one of my favourite Vegan & cruelty free brands so I was smiling ear to ear to see them included in this box. To be honest I do avoid using wipes as my main make up remover as I have heard they can really dry out your skin. That being said there are some days where I do just need a wipe and they're especially great when travelling so these will be accompanying me on my holiday in a few weeks.
B. is for Beautiful All Lengthening Defining Volumising Black Mascara - I've had a slight love hate relationship with the B. range from day one. Some of their make up I have found to be ok and others have just felt a bit cheap and haven't worked well at all on my face. I much prefer their skin care range to their make up. When it comes to their make up I have found things like eye/brow liners and mascara to be ok but perhaps not a brand to truly rave about. But maybe thats just me!? I did used to be a MAC girl prior to leading a cruelty free lifestyle so maybe my expectations will always be too high. Going back to the product, I already have this in my collection but I guess you can never really have too much black mascara in your drawer and I am now really well stocked up on it!
PHB Ethical Beauty Natural & Organic Black Eye Liner - I have yet to try this eye liner but I was really happy to see it included in this months Beauty Box as firstly I am a black eye liner kinda girl, and secondly this is a brand whose make up I haven't tried before so I am looking forward to giving it a go and also exploring the rest of their range.
Teabox Detox Complexion Tea - I've seen this brand advertised on social media but I haven't really paid much attention to them until now. And this is why I will always love subscription boxes because they introduce you to the brands you already love and are yet to try. This particular tea is meant to help with skin complaints such as acne or hormonal skin but fortunately for me this isn't something I ever have to contend with so perhaps it may be more worthwhile for me to consider other teas in the range. However, at roughly £1 a tea bag and £15 for the smallest box i'm not sure if this is something I will be buying into. I'm also not sure if three trial tea bags will be enough to convince me or for me to really notice any difference in my complexion. The tea itself tasted ok and not too fragrant, but again i'm not sure if I liked it enough to warrant it's price tag or for me to buy again.
So overall this was a pretty good box with my favourite item being the face mask and my least favourite would have to be the tea bags. I haven't had the time to give everything a proper trial run yet but hopefully this review gives you a pretty good overview of what to expect from a TVK Beauty Box. Aside from the tea bags in this months box, I am always impressed by the fact that TVK offer decent sized products within their boxes and not just small sample sizes. For me this ensures that the box remains great value for money.
Until next time!

Six licenses to dispense medical marijuana products at 14 locations in Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties were unveiled Thursday by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
The dispensary licenses follow on the heels of the release last week of permits to operate medical marijuana grow facilities. Both grow permits allotted to the eight-county southeast region were granted to facilities in Berks County.
The dispensary permits, for obvious reasons, were spread out a bit more evenly and will be the locations where patients with doctor's prescriptions can purchase medical marijuana products created at the state's 12 grow and processing locations.
The products will not be hallucinogenic and cannot be smoked.
Rather, they will come in the form of oils, lotions and other medical delivery methods and can be prescribed for the 17 different ailments the new law identifies as being able to be treated by cannabis products.
The list of ailments includes epilepsy, cancer, autism, glaucoma, HIV, Parkinson's and post traumatic stress disorder.
Here are the locations for the local permit holders, as well as some of the second and third locations they are allowed to open:
Montgomery County
• Ilera Healthcare — Dispensary name is Ilera Healthcare, 420 Plymouth Road, Plymouth Meeting.
• Terra Vida Holistic Centers, LLC — Dispensary name is Tera Vida Holistic Centers, 1626 Old York Road, Abington.
• Bay LLC — Dispensary name is Cure Pennsylvania, 475 Pennsylvania Ave., Fort Washington.
• Restore Integrative Wellness Center, LLC — Dispensary name is Restore Integrative Wellness Center, 8003 Old York Road, Elkins Park.
• Holistic Pharma LLC — Dispensary name is Holistic Pharma LLC, 2030 W. Main St., West Norriton.
• Chamounix Ventures LLC — Dispensary name is Keystone Dispensaries, 120 Hansen Access Road, King of Prussia.
Chester County
• Bay LLC — Dispensary name is Cure Pennsylvania, 500 Kimberton Road, Phoenixville.
• Chamounix Ventures LLC — Dispensary name is Keystone Dispensaries, 420 W. Lancaster Ave., Devon.
Delaware County
• AES Compassionate Care LLC — Dispensary name is as Grassroots Cannabis, 130 South St. Road, Upper Darby
• Chamounix Ventures LLC — Dispensary name is Keystone Dispensaries, 622 Industrial Park Drive B, Yeadon.
Berks County
• SMPB Retail LLC — Dispensary name is Harvest of Reading, 2701 N. 5th Street Highway, Reading.
• Franklin Bioscience-Penn LLC — Dispensary name is Bristol Dispensary, 3225 N. 5th Street Highway, Muhlenberg.
Bucks County
• Franklin Bioscience-Penn LLC — Dispensary name is Bristol Dispensary, 2412-2414 Durham Road, Bristol.
• Terra Vida Holistic Centers, LLC — Dispensary name is Tera Vida Holistic Centers, 64 Main St., Sellersville.
• Holistic Pharma LLC — Dispensary name is Holistic Pharma LLC, 4201 Neshaminy Blvd., Bensalem.
These permit holders now have six months to get up and operational before they can begin to distribute medical marijuana products.
All total, the Pennsylvania Office of Medical Marijuana received 457 applications ― 177 for growers and processors, and 280 for dispensaries.
There will be a total of 52 dispensaries throughout Pennsylvania as a result of the decisions announced Thursday.
In the southeast region, every county and Philadelphia will have at least one dispensary except for Schuylkill County, the western-most county in the region.
"This has been a highly competitive process and the department received hundreds of quality applications," John Collins, Director of the Office of Medical Marijuana said in a prepared statement.
"Once this program is fully operational, patients with serious medical conditions will have locations throughout the commonwealth where they can purchase medication to help in their treatment," he said, adding, "we remain on track to provide medication to patients in 2018."
Medical marijuana was legalized last year in Pennsylvania, making it one of 44 states and Washington, D.C., that have passed some kind of marijuana legalization law.
Marijuana remains illegal under federal law and Attorney General Jeff Sessions recent announcement to vigorously prosecute those laws has cast some doubt on how these state laws will fare.
Nevertheless, Pennsylvania is moving forward and expects patients and caregivers to be able to register in September.

Happy Birthday to Rick Springfield!Matt Richenthal at . Comments
The famous crooner and General Hospital star turns 58 today.
In his honor, we figured we'd post a clip of Rick Springfield donning a pink suit and singing "Whenever I Call You Friend" with Cheryl Ladd in 1982. Why not, right?
Tomorrow, meanwhile, marks Springfield's singing debut on General Hospital. Regarding the event, executive producer Jill Farren Phelps said:
"The town of Port Charles is literally going to rock. Long-time viewers as well as Rick Springfield fans will be entertained, while new viewers will see why General Hospital is appointment television."

Fearful New World
A few years ago, I attended a seminar at which the featured speaker was Leon Kass, whom President Bush last night appointed to chair the new President's Council on Bioethics. Kass went on and on about the awful, creepy world that biomedical research was leading us toward. Cloning, designer babies—what a grimly prescient vision Aldous Huxley's Brave New World was turning out to be!
During the Q and A, one of the less tactful participants provided the definitive 10-second distillation of Kass' presentation. He said to Kass: So, basically, you are opposed to genetic tinkering of various kinds "for reasons you can't quite articulate."
In this morning's New York Times sidebar on Kass, the lead paragraph says Kass considers himself a man "not certain of many answers"; the second paragraph quotes him as adding, "I think I do know the questions." Actually, Kass is damn sure of the basic answer: We should seriously constrain potentially lifesaving research. What he doesn't know is the reason for his answer, except that when he personally peers into the future, he personally finds it really creepy. (I didn't manage to read Kass' recent New Republic essay on cloning, but the Washington Post's Richard Cohen did, and my experience with Kass gives me every reason to trust Cohen's judgment that, though Kass and his co-author call cloning unethical, they "never say why.")
In a way, it's odd that in many highbrow circles philosophers are more highly esteemed than theologians. The religious opponents to embryonic stem-cell research are at least making a coherent argument: God had a conversation with them that he didn't have with me. I can understand that (though, frankly, I'm a little resentful). But "philosophers" like Kass often turn out to be resting their arguments on something just as private as, and in a way vaguer than, divine revelation: their unerring internal sense of what grosses them out.
The Brave New World analogy is itself a nice gauge of how much analytical detachment Kass has or hasn't mustered in pondering the future. Obviously, Huxley deserves credit for getting the designer test-tube babies part right. But during the seminar's Q and A, I asked Kass if Huxley hadn't gotten at least one thing deeply wrong. In the 1932 novel, a centralized, government-run program churns out designer babies (and brainwashes them for good measure) to meet the needs of the economy's caste system; some kids are bright, ambitious "alphas," others are dull, compliant "epsilons," and so on. This was a natural extrapolation from the world in 1932, when eugenics could happen only by central mandate (and was happening, via forced sterilization of the "feeble-minded" and so on).
But the biotech revolution inverts this logic. With parents now able to selectively implant embryos in the womb after screening them, we are approaching an age of "homemade eugenics." Given enough time, the free market—not the totalitarian state Huxley imagined—will produce genetic stratification, as some parents choose to tinker genetically and can afford to do so, and some parents either don't or can't. Eugenics, which once could happen only if centrally administered, will now happen unless centrally banned. (Or, it could be centrally moderated—if the government gave all families the financial resources to do it.)
This contrast between Huxley's world and ours strikes me as not very obscure and fairly important. Yet it seemed clear that Kass—after God-knows-how-many-years of getting God-knows-how-much conservative foundation money to think about such things—had never before considered it. Of course, considering it wouldn't have changed his dark view of the future. Still, shouldn't the man appointed to oversee the nation's bioethics soul-searching be attentive to all large and glaringly relevant factors? (This may be a particularly uncomfortable factor for him to emphasize. As a conservative, Kass is skeptical of government intervention, so stopping homemade eugenics is a much less pleasant prospect than stopping Huxley's kind of eugenics.)
Kass is said to have been a key adviser in Bush's agonized deliberations on stem-cell research. If so, we got off lucky. We at least will wind up with dozens of stem-cell lines on which to do research. Judging by the general tenor of Kass' remarks in recent years—the future is so creepy that we should radically slow its approach until people like him have spent another few decades in deep thought—one might have expected worse. (By the way, I later had a private conversation with Kass and found him to be very gracious and likable. That I'm now being so mean to him is either a testament to the importance of this issue, a testament to my mean-spiritedness, or both.)
I'm not saying there's never cause to take things slow. I could see a provisional ban on human cloning, given its currently high likelihood of producing genetic defects (a prospect that pretty much everyone, not just Kass, finds creepy). I'm just saying that the council Bush just appointed to dispassionately explore our biomedical options is about as dispassionate as his commission on whether to privatize Social Security and the commission on whether to militarize outer space. Biomedical researchers, and people afflicted with the various diseases they're trying to cure, had better get their lobbying machinery in good working order. This is going to be a long, grueling war between hope and fear.

plus compere
An unstoppable, ebullient motormouth" Chortle
Along with his clutch of awards and critical acclaim, Stephen Grant must surely have right to the title of hardest working comedian in the UK. Regular compere of Krater Comedy Club at Brighton's Komedia, Stephen still finds the time to headline and MC gigs all over the country as well as being a regular guest on The Cutting Edge at London's Comedy Store, deputising presenter on BBC Southern Counties Radio, warming up and performing on some of the biggest comedy shows on TV and MCing for numerous corporate events.
It is not hard to see why Stephen is so popular, he possesses an energy and intellect which, when combined, make for dynamite comedy. His speed and dynamism create a magical energy which has audiences rapt and hanging on his every word.
Hes famously pedantic, relentlessly logical and with the kind of comedy vision that can see round corners... youre never more than 15 seconds away from a really good laugh Chortle
Brilliant this show will have you chuckling to yourself hours afterwards The Scotsman
" that kind of hard-to-fake passion and cheeriness is what makes comedy-goers warm to him, and what is his greatest strength Chortle.co.uk
"Grant revels in his slick geekiness and this show is an absolute pleasure, an intelligent fast-paced whirlwind of thoughts and theories, all wrapped up beautifully with a bit of wonderfully nerdish IT. The List

What Ho Chaps & Chapettes,
So Who do Voodoo, You do Voodoo, Hopefully at Our Saturday April 8th Themed Dance,
Marie, Marie, La, Voo-doo Yeady
She'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie, La, Voo-doo Yeady
She'll put a spell on you
Marie, Marie, La, Voo-doo Yeady
She's the witch queen oh, of New Orleans
Of New Orleans
So who was The Witch Queen of New Orleans that……. Redbone.
Sang so enthusiastically about in their 1971 chart topping song?
"The Witch Queen of New Orleans" was Marie Laveau a 19th-century practitioner of voodoo
Marie Laveau was a Creole Voodoo Queen who was famous for the great power that she exercised in and over her community and her enthusiastic leading of the numerous ceremonial meetings and ritual dances.
Marie Laveau was beautifully portrayed by Angela Bassett in the TV show American Horror Story "Go to Hell" 2014.
Our kind of Voodoo is founded more in 1930s Pre Code America when the 1932 Pre-Code horror film White Zombie starring Béla Lugosi
was considered most risqué as it portrayed Voodoo as exotically dark and moody.
White Zombie is also considered to be the first feature length zombie film.
Because of this film many popular songs of the time had names that included "Voodoo"
such as The foxtrot "Voodoo "and "Voodoo Moon".
And so we look forward to seeing you in April
when all your favourites from the 1930's & 1940's will be the order of the night at Sugar Ray's Voodoo Lounge
We look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones…….

Propose a workshop for the 5th Annual Twin Cities Social Justice Education Fair!
5th Annual Twin Cities Social Justice Education Fair
Call for Workshops
Theme: Upset the Setup!
Submit workshop proposals by Tuesday, August 23rd, 2016
There's a lot cooking in the Twin Cities and the social justice pot is bubbling over! Whether it's student walkouts, teach-ins, takeovers and/or curriculum restructuring students, staff, and families are sending a clear message that the educational system is fundamentally flawed and they're out to reclaim what is rightfully theirs- an educational experience that challenges the status quo and forces us to think critically and act radically. From K-12 education to Adult Basic Education (ABE), all the way to the colleges and universities, many of us know that we are learning, teaching and laboring in spaces that were designed without many of us in mind. We've entertained the existing educational system's politricks for far too long, which is why we're calling on youth, educators, families, school staff , and communities to "Upset the Setup!"
Upsetting the Setup requires a commitment to radical politics. "Radical" comes from the word "radix" which means "root" in Latin. We can no longer invest our time and energy in educational reform that does more to till the soil of power and domination than uproot systems of oppression. We are interested in change from the ground up. In the spirit of Audre Lorde, attempting to fix the setup with the tools provided to us by those in power will only support the foundations of the setup rather than dismantle it. We all have the capacity to be better builders. However, we must also learn what systems of power and oppression must be destroyed in order to build an educational space that is both for us and by us.
As we work together to dismantle hierarchies in the spaces we learn, we seek a liberation education that frees us from biased curriculum, isolated classrooms, school resource officers (police), teachers and educational standards that deny our collective empowerment. We know that as social institutions, schools can never be the sole gatekeepers of knowledge. For those whose (intersecting) identities are constructed as deficits, schools tend to examine, extract, and exploit the rich gifts and contributions of (multiply) marginalized students.
Community remains one of the most valuable sites of knowledge production, and there are plenty of undercover intellectuals without formal credentials who could teach the educational system more than they can ever be given credit for. So while we upset the setup, we must also step up and support the informal systems of education rooted in our communities. In other words, as we uproot the unequal elements of traditional education, we establish roots in the spaces we call home. We invest our hopes for revolutionary educational change in one another, not the setup.
We are currently seeking proposals for workshops from those committed to upsetting the setup we call "education." Please submit a brief proposal of no more than 200 words by visiting our website by Tuesday, August 23rd, 2016.
Below are some questions and themes we intend to wrestle with and build on at the fair!
- How do we build solidarity across our different educational roles to support youth organizers committed to upsetting the setup?
- How can we interrogate the spaces in which we learn (e.g. schools) while appreciating the spaces that taught us the most (e.g. community)?
- What critical and radical teaching and learning strategies can and do we, as educators, parents, staff, and young people, engage to revalue and foster our community knowledges in the service of "upsetting the set up" within schools and beyond, in community spaces?
- In the course of organizing to upset the setup, how do we avoid reproducing the same types of violence and oppression we seek to dismantle?
- How can we be in but not of the setup called "education"?
- How do we uproot systems of educational inequality rather than continuously till the soil under the guise of "reform," "policy change," and "inclusion?"


text: Cirrus personal airplanes are known for their roomy interior comfort, and now the 2012 edition provides an even more spacious backseat for up to three passengers. Tweaks to the interior side panels in the SR20, SR22, and SR22 Turbo models expanded the elbow room, and a lightweight seat design makes the most of the available space. The cabin isn't meant to accommodate five full-size adults, but a mix of adults and children can work within the load limitations, so Cirrus now provides five sets of over-the-shoulder seat belts and five headphone jacks. A new restraint system for child seats meets federal auto standards, a first for personal aircraft. Two adults sharing the backseat will find room to spare. The new seat reclines and features a 60-40 fold-down back for flexible access to the rear cargo space. The lighter seat also frees up 10 extra pounds for the aircraft's useful load, so pilots can carry more gear or add more fuel for longer legs. With all the top-shelf options, the 2012 SR22T sells for $709,000. (800.279.4322, www.cirrusaircraft.com)

Start Driving Traffic to Your Blog Today
Bloggers often spend a fair amount of time researching effective techniques used to drive traffic to their blog. In fact, it is not uncommon for a blogger to spend such a large amount of time driving traffic that he forgets to update the blog on a regular basis. Fortunately, balancing your workload by driving traffic in the morning and posting content at night, or vice versa, will help to keep your blog interesting and appealing while increasing your following.
Write often and write well. If you're going to promote your blog, you better have content on your blog. It is crucial to keep your blog updated on a regular basis with useful, interesting content to build your audience. The content you post on your blog is what keeps your readers hanging on, so if you're driving traffic to an empty blog, you're wasting your time. When posting, say something of meaning. Write with substance. Don't just say what you think people want to hear. Be honest and implement a bit of humor and humility every now and then.
Develop a voice. If your blog does not yet have a voice, it is imperative that you begin developing one that is different from the rest. A boring, monotone blog filled with technical writing that lacks charisma or personality will not keep readers interested. Write with authority, empathy, compassion, and blunt honesty. Don't be afraid to be controversial every once in awhile. Stick to what you know so that your writing flows smoothly. Don't take yourself too seriously.
Include photographs in your blog posts. If you've ever been to a blog where the post was 750 word long block of text, sans photographs or line breaks, you'll know exactly why formatting and images are so important. It's hard to digest a huge block of text, not to mention it's difficult to read. Offer your readers something to look at, such as images, videos, or even bullets or blockquotes. Keep it visually appealing to prevent your readers from taking one good look at the page and searching for content elsewhere.
Leave comments on other blogs. You're a blogger and you're looking for traffic. The same goes for thousands of other bloggers. Why not help them out? Search for blogs in your niche and head on over and take a gander at some of the content they're offering readers. Comment on their work and include a link back to your blog in the "website" section. Not only does this provide them with a quality visitor and comment, it also increases the possibility that you'll receive traffic from their visitors. It's a win-win.
Submit your blog to popular search engines. If your blog is not listed in the search engines, it makes it incredibly difficult for potential visitors to find it. Submit your blog URL to search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, AOL, MSN, and Answers to start out. Before you believe this will lead to a surge in traffic, know that it's virtually impossible for your blog to show up in the top search results on your first day. Rest assured, however, that your blog will still be included, which will increase your chances of gaining unique traffic.
Optimize your content and your blog. If you aren't familiar with SEO, it is highly recommended, almost critical that you start learning immediately. Search engine optimization is what helps the search engines to pick up your blog. Optimize your page for search engines to find them easily. Include keywords relevant to your blog post, but avoid going overboard. It's best to include a keyword in every three sentences. These search engines will pick up on the links and if you're posting a link over and over again, the engines may pick up on this and ban your blog entirely.
Submit your blog's RSS feed to popular websites. Attract traffic quickly simply by submitting your blog's RSS feed to popular feed services such as Feedage, FeedFury, and Feedagg. When submitting, include relevant keywords to find users interested in your chosen niche. All it takes is a small amount of typing and a few clicks of the mouse. You may begin to see traffic immediately.
Use social bookmarking websites to attract unique visitors. Social bookmarking isn't exactly the same thing as bookmarking a website from your browser. In fact, it means bookmarking your blog through social sites such as Digg, Technorati, and StumbleUpon. Readers often browse through these listings to find interesting content. If you're lucky, you'll be able to grab some genuine traffic from these websites.
Get involved in online communities. Social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace all provide excellent opportunities for promoting your blog in a subtle way. After creating an account, edit your profile and include a link at the bottom. Start networking with bloggers of the same niche. This will help you build partnerships and a loyal following. Promote your posts through status updates. Alternatively, you may join forums to promote your blog. Talk about your niche in the forums and in your signature, include a link to your blog. Stay active and post regularly to earn high-quality traffic.
Request guest bloggers to contribute. If you know a well-known blogger who shares the same niche as you, approach him and inquire as to whether or not he would be interested in contributing a guest post. Not only will you make him feel appreciated and acknowledged, but your blog will benefit from having a well-known name on the site. Discuss beforehand whether or not the post will be edited prior to publishing.
Generating traffic to your blog does require basic effort, but it is simple effort. A click here, a brief description there. No matter how you choose to drive traffic to your blog, in the end, the results are worth it.

Rabbi and Education Director, Rabbi Alison B. Kobey
Rabbi Kobey joined us in July 2009. She comes to Or Chadash with extensive pulpit, chaplaincy and community activitism experience. She served Temple B'rith Kodesh in Rochester, NY as Associate Rabbi and Director of Life Long Jewish Learning from 2000-2009. She oversaw the TBK religious school, the Rochester Kollel, as well as participating in many other rabbinic duties, such as counseling and life cycle events. Rabbi Kobey was active in the Rochester community and served on many local and state boards. Rabbi Kobey attended Tufts University and Hebrew Union College.
Rabbi Kobey loves the strong combination of rabbinic duties with educational duties because "learning is a life long continuum. As rabbis, we provide roots for Jewish learning and then strive to build upon those foundations. There is no endpoint along the path of learning. Thus, my job helps promote Jewish learning as a life long process." Moreover, she notes that two of the trends within American Judaism include a return to Jewish learning and a return to synagogue activity. "My job combines both pieces and then supports greater growth within Jewish spiritual life as a whole."
Rabbi Kobey notes that one challenge of responding to the new hunger for learning is to provide entry points for people of different ages and backgrounds and involvement that fits a variety of needs. "We want to provide numerous opportunities which will reach out to all people and help them enhance their own connections to Judaism."
