'Varieties' from Alma - variety delivered exactly as promised(June 22, 2016)
The recipe sounds simple, bring together three highly accomplished musicians and let the magic happen, unfortunately such groupings can result in a somewhat fragmented sound as each individual vies for position. This is emphatically not the case with Alma, the coming together of fiddlers John Dipper and Emily Askew with guitarist and tambura player Adrian Lever. Their debut album 'Varieties' could not have a more apposite name for Alma take their inspiration from fiddle traditions in England, Tunisia, Iraq, Sweden and Poland then add their own edge to create the most harmonious array of varieties.
The album positively sweeps and soars as the instruments interlace and entwine to take the listener on an incredible aural journey through its rich diversity... hornpipe, bouree, polska, mazurka, jig and a morris tune. Inspired arrangements of traditional expression reside in perfect harmony with original composition ... 'Clark's Hornpipe' and 'Bourees' sit happily alongside 'A-Mollpolskan/ Happy Outcome' and 'Bishop of Chester's Jig/ Winterbourne'. Softly reflective themes engage in agreement with frenzied enjoyment, gentle illustration sits together with precise enunciation... and 'Varieties' delivers exactly as promised.
Playing on 'Varieties' are Emily Askew (fiddle) John Dipper (fiddle) and Adrian Lever (guitar) with guests on selected tracks Louise Duggan (percussion) and Duncan Lyle (double bass).

Social Security disability is taxable in the same fashion as retirement Social Security, regardless of the recipient's age or retirement status. If the individual's tax return shows income over a certain threshold amount, up to 85 percent of the benefits are taxable, according to Nolo.Continue Reading
The threshold depends on the recipient's marital status and tax-return filing status. The calculation involves adding all the other income on the tax return, including tax-exempt interest, to one-half of the Social Security benefits. For a joint return, both spouses' income is included. If this total is more than the threshold, some of the Social Security is taxable income, according to the Internal Revenue Service.Learn more about Income Tax

An article I recently read on ScienceDaily.com is the motivation behind this post. That article covered a study that was recently published in Sports Medicine on how high-intensity (this is measured, not simply just an extreme or inhumane amount of exercise) exercise can reduce the amount of adipose tissue of 6-8 year old kids. Obvious right? Get a kid doing sprint intervals on a track or sign him or her up for a daily boot camp session at your local gym and he or she is bound to burn off some fat and lose some weight, extra or not. But in this study, just 10 minutes (yes, 10, not an hour or 2 hours) of high-intensity exercise resulted in less central adiposity (when fat is stored in the mid-section, it is a risk factor for many diseases and other health problems).
Ten minutes is nothing right? Wrong. It maybe used to be "nothing", but in a time where recess at school is not necessarily the norm and physical education, or gym class, does not happen every day, those 10 minutes of healthy activity–exercise, if you will–may be more hard for your children to come by then you would think.
So here's an idea: on days that your child doesn't have gym class or soccer practice or gymnastics practice, etc., plan to do something active with them for a minimum of ten minutes. You may think, "Oh, they have soccer practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a game every Saturday. They really need those other days off to just relax." Not necessarily. First off, they likely won't get burnt out by playing at your local park, scootering, skateboarding, or biking around the neighborhood, or playing some frisbee in a nearby safe open space. They're kids! In fact, they'll probably love the extra time they get to spend with neighborhood friends, mom, dad, sister, brother, cousin, babysitter, aunt, uncle, etc. If having kids exercise in a fun, healthy way isn't great enough, here's a bonus: if you're involved, this idea gets you out the door as well! Heck, stay inside and play some DDR or whatever has replaced DDR at this point (I haven't played video games in quite a long time); if DDR isn't high-intensity, I don't know what is!
But here's something you must, must remember to do or else the "health" aspect just goes right out the window: fuel your kiddo(s) with some healthful, nourishing, love-filled foods before and after this exercise time. If your child is grabbing a handful of Skittles or downing a bag of Doritos before you start your bonding/exercise/playing time, they're not going to be getting the same health effects that should be resulting from the healthy activities. The same thing goes for if they walk in the door after a half-hour of playing at the park and go right for the cookies or whatever else is their go-to. This applies to us as adults so why not foster these healthy habits in our youth. It's kind of our moral obligation in a way.
So how do we do this? How do we abide by our moral obligation to help keep our youth healthy? We teach them. We talk to them and with them. We learn together–no matter how much you already know–that an apple (classic example so please substitute this with any other fruit, vegetable, etc.) is healthier than the Skittles and we learn why that is as well. We learn that we can add peanut butter to the apple slices and maybe a dash of cinnamon and we have a delicious treat. We make our own granola bars or we get really smart about what bars we bring into the home. We strive to make at least one recipe a week with our children to teach them the importance of preparing our own meals, and we have fun while doing it. We model what we preach. We walk our talk. We don't grab the cookies when we walk in the door. We don't buy the potato chips but then tell our kids that they can't have any…they'll just have some when you're not looking. We need to be great, not just good, at role modeling what we want our kids to do or not do. And lastly, we need to build on what our kids are learning about in school when it comes to food and nutrition. There are some great programs and articles for kids out there that do a great job about teaching our children the importance of eating healthily and limiting the junk food, but all of these articles and nutrition programs have very little effect if these conversations and new ideas are not continued and fostered at home. Let's change that!
Let's make healthy fun. Let's make "exercise" fun (maybe without even saying the word exercise!). Let's make food fun and engaging and something we can all look forward to learning about together.
So get going. Go have some fun with the kiddo(s) in your life!
PS: That's me in the picture above with my niece. This was taken a few years ago so she was either 6 or 7. You may be thinking, "How is she 'moving' if she's on your shoulders?" She's on my shoulders because she and I "ran" the entire first mile off and on and had a blast while doing it. She would sprint. I would chase her. She would chase me. We ran in circles. We pet dogs. We had so much fun and I put her on my shoulders to pose for this picture, but we continued running off and on for the next mile. She didn't want to complete the 5k and there was no harm in that!

At Covestro, we have an international focus. Even at the entry level! People who start the trainee program at the leading supplier of high-quality polymer materials have the opportunity to become familiar with a variety of countries and (work) cultures. We have spoken with Pascal, a former trainee, and with Franziska and Julia, two current trainees, about the program's opportunities.
Hello - would you please briefly introduce yourselves to the careerloft members?
Hello, my name is Pascal Schaub. I'm 30 years old. I received my bachelor's and master's degree in Mechanical & Process Engineering from Technische Universität Darmstadt. During my studies I spent one semester in Switzerland and one in Canada. I started as a trainee at Covestro in July 2013 and now work in Leverkusen. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, spending time with my family and friends and exploring the world.
Hi, my name is Julia Shi. I am 24 and live in Cologne. After receiving my master's in the USA in September 2014, I started at Covestro. Right now, I am in the second to last station of the two-year engineering trainee program. After work, I like to play the guitar or table tennis.
Hello, I am Franziska Lang. I am 26 years old, and I studied process engineering at RWTH Aachen University until the end of March 2015. After finishing my studies, I spend six months in Finland and six months in Northern Ireland. Around one year ago, I started in the engineering trainee program at Covestro. Back then I worked in Uerdingen and then had my next station in Dormagen. I have been in Leverkusen for around one month.
How did you find out about Covestro? What convinced you to join the trainee program at Covestro?
Pascal: After finishing university I was looking for a trainee program with high standards in an international corporation. During my research, I came across Bayer's offer by chance. The trainee program was definitely the right decision. The supervision was excellent. I was able to design the program according to my own interests and as a result participated in strategic and investment decisions in addition to classical engineering activities.
Julia: Covestro (still Bayer MaterialScience two years ago) is a leading company in the industry and chemistry students like me consider it the employer of their dreams. The opportunity to work in different departments, functions and places was very appealing. I was invited to an interview in Leverkusen, which was also a great experience – I encountered a friendly atmosphere, relaxed interviewers and a pleasant environment there. I was certain that this would be the perfect program for launching my career.
What is a typical workday at Covestro like?
Julia: As a trainee, my main task is to experience and learn as much as I can. I regularly meet with other colleagues from different departments, participate in various meetings and learn a lot about the organization and the corporate culture. In addition to my tasks in the office, I use the time to improve my German.
Franziska: That depends on my current position. What they all have in common is that the day begins relatively early. Positions related to production start earlier than the other departments. I really like that the work climate is very friendly and collegial everywhere.
Why do you think it is important for engineers to have experience abroad?
Pascal: Working abroad forces people to leave their comfort zones, to meet new people, new cultures and to make new experiences. In a more and more globalized environment this is increasingly important, especially for a successful collaboration with colleagues from all over the world.
Julia: International experience is extremely important because the work cultures are so different. You see how people handle their jobs, communicate and cooperate under different conditions.
Franziska: Engineers have broadly based fields of work and do not limit themselves to "pure technology." Currently, I work in an open office with people of many different nationalities. I think what I am learning about different cultures and their different forms of interaction and communication is very important.
In which countries have you already worked?
Pascal: I worked in the US for almost six months and spent four months in China. In many ways, both of those countries are very different from Germany. Personally, I think Asia is more exciting and dynamic than North America.
Julia: I have worked in the US (New York), Germany (Dormagen and Leverkusen) and China (Shanghai). I like the German work structures the best.
Which experiences you have had abroad help you in your workday at Covestro?
Pascal: In my opinion all longer stays abroad and the experiences you make there tie into each other and supplement each other – like a puzzle.
Which professional challenges have you had to face?
Pascal: To finish complex subprojects during Covestro's carve out from Bayer under high time pressure together with an engaged project team were the most exciting and instructive ones for me.
Julia: To me, my lack of practical experience is the greatest challenge. Production engineers spend years in factories in order to acquire an overview of the operational structure. I know that experience will come in time and that I have to keep on learning as much as I can.
How does Covestro prepare you for working abroad?
Franziska: Before my planned stay in China, my HR business partner trained and supervised me. I participated in an extremely intensive intercultural training course and was also offered language lessons. An experienced agency supported my visa application and search for a place to live, and they did most of the work for me. Internally, they told the colleagues I was coming and introduced me around. That is very helpful and can truly open doors.
What will your next professional steps be?
Julia: After my last station in Brunsbüttel, I will start my first officially permanent position in the PET department in Dormagen.
Franziska: I plan to remain in my current department for a while and in November, I will go to Belgium to participate in a research & development project.
Covestro's corporate values are curious, courageous und colorful. Which of these values can you identify with the most and why?
Pascal: A good mixture of all three values can make a key difference. Having Interest in new topics (curious), questioning the status quo and taking risks (courageous) as well as interacting with people from different cultures (colorful).
Franziska: My personal favorite is curious. To keep making progress and think outside the box gives us drive, while courageous and colorful are the foundation upon which we can develop further.
What do you like most about your job?
Julia: To me, it is fascinating to learn about the mechanisms involved in production. When you understand how much expertise is inside each product, you start admiring the advances we've made in human intelligence.
Franziska: In each new station, you meet new people with different professional and private backgrounds. You can learn plenty while working with them.
Your advice to other young professionals?
Pascal: Find a job that makes you happy!
Julia: Take every opportunity that arises to prepare for your future: have many different experiences.
Franziska: Stay curious! My history teacher once gave us some advice: Never forget how to be amazed.
Benefit from attractive support services and make valuable contacts with top international employers! At careerloft you'll be able to find the perfect job and employer for you.

As promised in our Rainbow Unicorn Party post, here are the step by step instructions to create your own "Paint by Party" cookies! As Jessica suggests, these could take on any form — they would be super cute as baby carriages or colorful POPsicles for a baby shower, jungle animals or Princess wands for a kid's birthday party, or even holiday themed cookies like Christmas trees or Easter eggs! Let your creativity run wild! See all the details on how to
"Paint-by-Party" Cookies are my new favorite customized party favor that doubles as a party activity too. I loved using them for the Rainbow Unicorn Party I hosted for my daughter's 5th birthday.
These "Paint-by-Party Cookies" by Flourish Sweet Shop (FSS) were designed for party guests to paint using a customized paint palette of colors comprised of edible food colorings. Flourish Sweet Shop's original "Paint-by-Party" cookies feature one cookie with an image to paint as well as the paint palette embedded in the overall design.
For the Rainbow Unicorn Party, I worked with Lisa to create two different cookies; one cookie to be painted and a separate cookie acting as the paint palette. I drew the rainbow cloud design and emailed it to FSS who then created the black line art image for the cookie design. FSS then created a heart-shaped paint palette containing the coordinating edible paint colors.
The design of the cookies was perfect. Party guests simply dipped a small paintbrush in water to activate each paint color and then they had fun socializing while painting. The cookies were dry by the time Ella's party guests were ready to leave and were packaged in cellophane bags as party favors.
Lisa, owner of Flourish Sweet Shop, surprised me with an extra adorable detail. I had originally shared with her my desire to include a heart in the overall finished design of the cookie to tie in the heart shown on the unicorn on the invitation. That's when Lisa made the brilliant suggestion of making the paint palette cookie into the shape of a heart AND to also include mini-sized sparkly sugar heart cookies for party guests to glue on to the finished cookie using icing.
The "Paint-by-Party" cookies turned out even more adorable than I could've imagined. I was so surprised at how perfectly the edible paint colors matched the party scheme. Ella's request to be able to paint rainbows at her party was met in such a creative, memorable way; for her as well as her guests.
Flourish Sweet Shop can easily whip up a custom design to match the theme of your party and include the edible paint palette to match. There are so many things you can do with these cookies by changing themes, colors, designs and even shapes. And these aren't just for kids' birthday parties either. I can see adults having fun with these at wedding and baby showers too!
Rinse the paint brush off between each color so as not to mix them and then dab your paintbrush on a paper towel to make sure it is clean.
Thanks so much Jessica! See more of her crafty DIYS, as well as photos of her adorable family and baking adventures, on her blog, Pen N' Paper Flowers.

[…] When I was little, rainbows and unicorns were a couple of my favorite things, especially with the huge popularity of Lisa Frank (remember that?!). Well… the talented Jessica Kirkland of Pen N' Paperflowers, Inc. brought these two fun elements together with an adorable Magical Rainbow Unicorn Birthday Party for her daughter, who happens to love them too! And I'm guessing she's not alone in that. ;) One of the party activities, "Paint by Party" cookies, looks SO fun, and the really great news is that Jessica is also sharing a step-by-step tutorial on those with us today!

The races have now been officially cancelled for Sunday 6th of September, due to the waterlogged fields. It looks like we're going to have to wait to this time next year before we see any races in Llanfair, so let's hope for a drier summer.
Category Archives: News
Lampeter Races
Lampeter Races are on again this Sunday, 6th of September at the usual venue – the meadows near Pentre Farm, off the B4343 just outside Llanfair Clydogau. The first race is due to start at 2.00pm.
Village Walk cancelled
The Village Walk planned for this afternoon (Sunday 26th July) has been cancelled due to the inclement weather. I'll repost with an update when I get news of a rescheduled walk in the future.
Fibre Broadband – an update
Fibre broadband came one step closer to residents of Llanfair Clydogau yesterday as contractors placed a new cabinet near the Village Hall1. This will serve as a junction box for the fibre optics that were installed at the end of March.
When will Fibre be connected?
There are conflicting reports on when the rollout for residents will occur, ranging from 2 weeks time up until September 2015. No British Telecom invites have been issued at the time of writing, and if you check the BT Broadband Checker then it still shows fibre as being unavailable in the area.
What type of connection will it be?
Again, there are conflicting reports on which type of fibre will be available to us in Llanfair Clydogau. The options would appear to be Fibre To The Cabinet (FTTC) and Fibre To The Home (FTTH).
FTTH is rumoured to be available to residents from the exchange in Llangybi through to the Llanfair Road area, and this is technically possible as the fibre has already been installed to the underground junction box outside Llanfair Shop. Whether this would prove financially viable for British Telecom may well depend on the customer take-up rate for those served in this area.
FTTC is the most likely option for residents served by the Village Hall cabinet as there have been no reports of fibre installation beyond this point.
You can read about these two types of connection here.
What happens next?
We wait. At least most of the infrastructure appears to be in place ready for the rollout. Actual speed improvements, which depend on connection type, are unknown at this stage of course – but they will offer some improvement over the twisted-pair copper connection currently in use for the entire journey from Llangybi.

An unusual discovery
A quick update to tell you about some infant graves that have been uncovered in the St. Mary's church graveyard in Llanfair Clydogau – you can read the details here.
New Twine and W(h)ine dates
The Twine and W(h)ine dates for April to July have now been posted, you can view the latest info here.
There is Bingo in the Village Hall on Friday 13th of February, 7.30pm for 8.00pm. The cost will be £5 per book, and refreshments will be available.
New Year's Eve Party!
Despite some doubt it seems there will be a party in the Village Hall tonight, from 9.00pm onwards. The usual sort of 'bring your own drink and nibbles' do!
Happy New Year!
New Twine and W[h]ine dates
Twine and W[h]ine dates have now been updated for 2015 – see the page here
Llanfair Bridge
Llanfair Bridge
For those of you concerned about the closure of Llanfair Bridge, work has been suspended due to lack of funds, so there is no closure currently planned.
Presumably when (if) funds become available in the new financial year then some will be re-allocated to the repair of our bridge, and if a closure is necessary then I will post details as they become available.

1. Identification of Roundup participants
The first step in the investigation was identifying participants in the Roundup. We did this by several means. First, after learning on July 13 that Rightmyer had records of who had attended various Roundups, Treasury OIG served an administrative subpoena on Rightmyer for these records on July 15. [ / On July 14, DOJ OIG indicated to Treasury OIG our interest in serving an administrative subpoena on Rightmyer that day, but Treasury OIG requested that we not do so because he was a former Treasury employee. We acceded to that request. ] Rightmyer initially claimed he could not comply with the subpoena because he had erased his computer records containing this information the previous evening. On July 17, Treasury OIG served a second subpoena on Rightmyer, this time for his computer's hard drive, so that efforts could be made to retrieve the erased records. [ / On July 18, the DOJ OIG served an administrative subpoena on Rightmyer for these same records in case Rightmyer objected to the Treasury OIG providing us with access to his records, which by that time were in its sole possession. The Department of Treasury subsequently made available to the DOJ OIG all of the computer records it had received from Rightmyer. ] A computer technician was able to recover these records from the hard drive.
From Rightmyer's hard drive the Treasury and DOJ OIGs obtained an address list containing 849 names of past attendees and invitees. This same file also contained Roundup registration data from 1990 through 1994. Other recovered files identified the past winners of the Redneck of the Year contest; the members of the 1994 and 1995 Roundup Executive Committees; the 1994 and 1995 Members of the Board; the 1995 volunteers for various assignments such as security, registration, and cooking; and the Roundup's 1994 and 1995 expenses, including the names of various vendors used for Roundup supply purchases. Pursuant to these administrative subpoenas, Rightmyer also produced a copy of the handwritten registration sheets for the 1995 Roundup listing the names of all of the attendees who signed in and a computer diskette containing names and addresses of 277 persons who attended the 1995 Roundup and information regarding their registration for the Roundup from 1990 through 1994. [ / Rightmyer had obtained this diskette from another person who previously had assumed responsibility for maintaining the Roundup's mailing list. Many of these individuals also were listed on the original address list obtained from Rightmyer's computer. DOJ OIG subsequently served a subpoena on this individual, who is not in law enforcement, for any additional records he had regarding Roundup attendance. He stated that he had sent two computer disks to Rightmyer containing the mailing list information and did not retain copies for himself. He searched his computer, however, and found some small files he retained regarding Roundup golf outings. He made copies of those files for us. ]
In addition to obtaining attendance information from Rightmyer, the OIG directed the FBI, the DEA, the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA), the Criminal Division of DOJ, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), the United States Marshals Service (USMS), and the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to survey their employees to determine which, if any, had attended or been invited to a Roundup, or could identify Justice Department personnel who had attended a Roundup. [ / This inquiry was later expanded and included an additional six components of the Department of Justice. The details of the process used by each component to survey its employees are contained in the appendix to this report, Section A, at 1. ] Between the results of these surveys and the information obtained from Rightmyer's files, OIG identified approximately 1000 persons who had either attended or been invited to attend one or more of the Roundups. This list included registration data for almost a third of the Roundups, including many of the years with the largest attendance. Subsequently, Rightmyer consented to give OIG access to his bank records. The copies of checks deposited in his account gave OIG additional information about who registered to attend the Roundup. The banks maintained these records as far back as 1988. With the addition of these records, we identified a total of 1,369 persons who attended various Roundups. Although this list was not a complete set of everyone who ever went to a Roundup, we believe it represents a substantial majority of attendees.

MARIETTA, Ga. -- A parade of prosecution witnesses testified this morning that the Brunswick man accused of shooting to death a baby in its stroller was involved in another botched robbery and shooting 11 days earlier.
De'Marquise Elkins, 18, is being tried for both crimes in Cobb County Superior Court because of the heavy news coverage in Glynn County.
Among the witnesses were the Rev. Wilfredo Calix Flores and Clever Jimenez Gomez who each pointed out Elkins as the man who pulled a gun on March 11 demanding money and a cell phone. They separately testified that Elkins shot Calix Flores in the arm when no wallet or phone was produced.
"That looks like the person who attacked us," Jimenez Gomez said through an interpreter.
Calix Flores, also speaking through an interpreter, choked up when describing the incident. He stood and pointed where the bullet entered and exited his left arm and grazed his side, and he recounted how he was so shocked afterward that he staggered into the church and knelt down to pray until police and an ambulance arrived.
Prosecutors displayed a photo of blood drops on the doorway where he prayed while Jimenez Gomez used his own belt as a tourniquet.
The jury also heard from one of the two teens allegedly with Elkins during Calix Flores' shooting, Dont'e Jackson, 17. Jackson, who is charged in the incident but said he has no deal with prosecutors, testified that he and a friend were walking down the alley where Calix Flores and Jimenez Gomez were modifying a fence gate and were ahead of Elkins when they heard a ruckus behind them.
"The next thing I know, De'Marquise is saying, 'Give it up,'" Jackson said. "... When the man wouldn't give him any money, he shot the man."
All three witnesses identified a photo of the .22 caliber revolver police believe Elkins used to shoot 13-month-old Antonio Santiago on March 21 during a botched robbery of the baby's mother, Sherry West. She sustained a gunshot wound in her leg and is expected to testify this afternoon.
Defense attorney Ashley Wood tried to weaken each witness' credibility.
During cross examination of Jimenez Gomez, she asked if he was threatened by police with deportation as an illegal immigrant, but he said they never mentioned it.
"You're going to say anything the police want you to say so you can stay in the country," she charged.
She said investigators had pressured him.
"No. No one pressured me," he said. "... I don't know if that's what they wanted to hear or not. I just told them the way it was."
Wood challenged Jackson because he had originally told investigators he wasn't involved in Calix Flores' shooting. Jackson acknowledged repeatedly on the stand that he had lied to detectives on two occasions before his own arrest.
"I was lying the first two times because my life was in danger," he said as his attorney stood nearby. "... He threatened me. I just saw him shoot somebody."
Jackson explained that after the shooting, Elkins threatened him if word of the incident was mentioned. However, being arrested and given the chance to live with his grandfather instead of returning to the neighborhood where he grew up with Elkins gave him the assurance of his safety, Jackson said.
Prosecutors expect to complete their case this afternoon in what is planned to be a long day in court. Defense attorneys say they are ready to begin presenting their first witnesses during a session that will last into the evening.
Both sides and the judge agree that they don't want to ruin jurors' plans for the holiday weekend and are trying to wrap up the case beforehand with long court sessions.

The Advocate of Stamford
Raising two young daughters can be difficult for any father, but James Clark has been getting support and advice from a new program.
Each Wednesday night, Clark and seven other fathers gather in a tiny classroom at the St. Joseph Parenting Center to discuss everything from rearing children on their own to dealing with exes. As the 12-week course recently came to a close, instructor Timothy Welch asked the men what's different about them now from the beginning.
"I learned I needed to work on my co-parenting," Clark said. "Coming together to agree on things."
Welch responded, "You had a little chip on your shoulder when it came to the mom."
Clark and his classmates are part of the DADS - Dads Are the Difference - Program, sponsored by the parenting center and the Department of Children and Families. The pilot started in Norwich and has now expanded to a second program in Stamford.
Elaine Grant, director of development at the parenting center, said they began offering the class in March at the request of DCF. She said the program's goal is to educate some of the community's neediest members in an effort to prevent child abuse or neglect.
Grant says research shows that children with fathers, who are an active part of their lives, benefit immensely from the relationship. The class is offered free of charge.
"The curriculum is designed toward fathers," said Douglas Howard, a fatherhood systems coordinator with DCF. He said the criteria for entering the program is that the father was somehow involved with DCF.
On Saturday, Clark took his two children, Hylee, 6, and Semaj, 1, and his wife Dawn, who is 6 months pregnant, to the park behind Springdale Elementary School. He shares custody of Hylee with his ex-girlfriend, an issue that brought him to the program.
"It's taking a lot of work, a lot of patience, a lot of my time," Clark said. "We're still working on it. We had a long, hard break-up. The fact that I remarried, didn't make it any better."
Right now, Clark said he's trying to balance his new family, with his ex-girlfriend and maintaining his professional hauling business, "Young Man with a Truck, Trying to Make a Buck."
"That's hard, it takes a lot of time," he said.
Clark said he's learned a lot from the group and he's still not done with it. He said he'll keep in touch with the staff at the parenting center and DCF, as well as the other dads.
"The fathers all took each other's numbers, so we can be there for each other," he said.
At the meeting, another father, Kevin Wright, said he realized that even if he's tired, he has to pay attention to what his children are saying.
"I listen, I just don't hear anymore," Wright said. "If you listen, you might get something out of it."
Erik Preser, a single dad, told Welch that he hasn't been communicating well with the mother.
Welch, also a fatherhood systems coordinator with DCF, told him to imagine that he's the chief executive officer of a company, the mother is the chief financial officer and the child is the product.
"If that's the most important thing, then it takes a partnership," Welch said.
Patrick Smith, who is raising a 2-year-old daughter by himself, said the DADS Program has also been good for him.
"This place has given me more confidence as a single parent," he said.
Before taking the class, Smith said he only knew one other single father. He said he recently moved back home with his parents and wasn't communicating with other peers.
Now, Smith said he sees the "other guys" and feels there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
"To me, before this program, DCF were the people who take your kids," Smith said.
Jesse Cardenas said for him, it's a little more specific. Now, he said he doesn't bicker with his children's mother anymore. He also finishes his meal, stays at the table and talks to his children.
"You have to have patience," he said.
One father, who asked to go by "A'' due to an ongoing custody battle, said he's been raising three children by himself and wonders how he can improve.
"A'' said he thinks the program is good for anyone, not just people with problems. Even if he's having a bad day, he tries to tell his children that he's proud of them.
"Maybe we are the pioneers for this class," the single father said. "I want people to know you can get better from it."

I've had a ready answer: a full-time university teaching job, three children, plus the usual 'passages' of serious illness, parental deaths, the wild hijinks of my children. But the truth is, the publication of my first novel, A Year of Favor, by William Morrow & Co. in 1994, was a nightmare from which it took me at least a decade to recover.
Of course, when that editor from Morrow had called to offer a two-book contract, I was elated: I believed that I'd made it, and that I 'had it made.' My agent was a newbie from the D.C. area and he, like me, was awed by this offer (in the low five figures) and the acquiring editor's promise that she had big plans for A Year of Favor; among them, that AYOF would be taken to Frankfurt, where lucrative foreign sub rights were certain to be sold.
For the next few weeks, I floated: I was about to become a published novelist! No matter that I had to cut more than 100 pages from the manuscript. Cutting would be cake compared to writing. Then my agent called to tell me that my editor had been fired. Slam, bam! Just like that! She, who loved my novel and had big plans for it, was gone from Morrow. My novel became an orphaned manuscript. What was that, an orphaned manuscript? I didn't like the sound of it, but didn't have even a basic comprehension of what acquiring editors do for their books. Over the next 18 months, I'd find out.
Backing up a couple of years. I began my writing life as a newspaper reporter, but, like all reporters everywhere, I longed to write the Great American Novel. After the births of my first two children, I entered a CW program at Temple University in Philadelphia, in order to focus on the book I had in mind. By the time I finished, my work had received a substantial grant from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, and had placed second in a national competition, the Washington Prize for Fiction. At the urging of my Temple professors, I sought an agent, using every possible contact, however tenuous. Back then, the process demanded hard copies, at a cost of about $40 a piece. Out they went to many agents with outstanding reputations, most of whom turned it down, though a couple held onto it for most of an eternity. Meantime, a new agent who'd noticed the novel's accolades, asked to read the manuscript, and soon thereafter offered to represent me. My Temple mentors advised me to hold out for one of the bigger, more established agents. I did, for as long I could stand it, all the while nudging the other agents for an answer. Being meek (the meek shall inherit the earth!), I wasn't good at this. Weeks or maybe months passed. At last, unable to tolerate the indecision, or step up my harassment campaign, I signed with the new agent. A week later, one of the biggies, the one I'd wanted all along, called to offer me representation.
"No time to be a good girl," my mentors counseled. "Tell the guy you're sorry and move on."
Did I listen to them? No. I was, at heart, A Good Girl. I couldn't break a contract. Besides, those offering advice were authors with many published books and prestigious prizes. I wasn't in the same position. To do so would have violated everything I understood about right and wrong. This guy had come to me, after all, and I'd given him my word. That I had a two-book offer from Morrow within the month vindicated my choice: My No-Name Agent had done his job. Notwithstanding the fact that, almost immediately after the contract was signed, my agent called to say my editor had been fired.
Production, nevertheless, went forward. My novel was assigned to a talented, hard-working newbie who had no discernible interest in my novel – which was inspired by the murders of the four Maryknoll missionary women in El Salvador in 1980. The Newbie, who has gone on to a stellar career in publishing, did not love A Year of Favor. I could tell that from the get-go. But he was being given a great opportunity to edit his first novel; he'd do his very best. He was willing to care for it, if not nurture it, but it was not his baby and he couldn't, no matter how hard he tried, love it in the same way he would have if it had been.
The Editor and I cut some 100 pages and got the novel down to a tight, fast-paced 320 pages. Only as the bound galleys were distributed, did things begin to seem slightly amiss. The Editor had neglected to gather blurbs even as I offered him a couple of names. No blurbs! He'd also neglected to ask for acknowledgments so that, by the time I asked him, it was too late. I didn't get to thank in print those who'd earned my gratitude.
I got promisingly positive pre-pub reviews in Kirkus and Publishers Weekly and later strong reviews in the LA Times, the Chicago Tribune and the Atlanta Constitution; a stingingly bad one in the Boston Globe; and a pro forma one in the Fiction Chronicle of the Times' Sunday Book Review. My hometown newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, was noticeably absent from the list. Later, the Inquie book editor told me he'd never gotten galleys or been approached by Morrow about a review. I had, in fact, been assigned a publicist but we never spoke or corresponded. She never took my calls. The Agent couldn't or didn't help. As my pub date approached, I realized I was on my own. I set up my own tour of the Northeast, reading at a bookstores and universities, but in many locations, the books didn't arrive on time or there weren't enough of them. Neither my agent nor anybody at Morrow could ever explain why my novel was so difficult to get hold of.
A Year of Favor never got to Frankfurt. The folks at Morrow ignored an inquiry my Agent got from a Latin American publisher. The novel never came out in paperback. No sub rights were ever sold, a succession of disappointments that morphed into a slow-percolating torment.
In retrospect I learned that 1992-1994 were among the most difficult in Morrow's long illustrious history. The whole time my novel was in production, the Hearst Corp. had Morrow up on the auction block, with daily bulletins about who'd bought it and which deal had just fallen through. A reign of anxiety and constriction began just as AYOF was purchased, and my first editor, who's also continued her fine publishing career, was likely one of its first victims. Later, a contact inside Morrow told me that, during that period, anyone who could leave did; those who stayed couldn't or didn't get much done. The sales people were not selling; the marketing people weren't marketing. The sub-rights people had closed up shop. But it wasn't until 1999 that Hearst sold Morrow to News Corp. where it's now an imprint of Harper Collins.
Nobody at Morrow ever came looking for the second book, which was fine by me. Instead, I put my head down, kept writing, as I always had and always will, albeit slowed by full-time teaching and parenting. I adjusted my dreams and my thoughts on publication. I'd never written for fame or money, anyway. I'd always written because I had stories I wanted to tell and I wanted, however stubbornly or egotistically, to tell them my way. That's what I've been doing ever since.
Imagine, then, my happiness when my new agent Janet Rosen stuck with me until she got an offer from Elizabeth Bruce at Picador. Imagine my delight when it turned out that Elizabeth's vision for the novel matched my own, and we had one of those editor/writer relationships that hardly ever happen anymore. Imagine the thrill of going to Picador, in the Flatiron Building in Manhattan, and meeting a whole team of publishers, publicists, marketers and sales staff eager to make my book a success. Imagine, above all, the thrill of seeing Mimi Malloy, At Last! in print, first in a beautiful hardback and now the paperback. The thrill ain't gone, baby. It's with me every day. But I wonder, can't help it, if things would have turned out differently if I'd gone with the more powerful agent.

Cilantro-Jalapeño Latkes with Chipotle Sour Cream
Turn a basic latke recipe into a Mexican-style dish by adding cilantro and jalapeno peppers to the potato cakes and serving with chipotle-flavored sour cream.
How to Make It
Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
Combine potato and onion in a colander. Drain 30 minutes, pressing occasionally with the back of a spoon until barely moist. Combine potato mixture, flour, and next 5 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl; toss well.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Spoon 1/4 cup potato mixture loosely into a dry measuring cup. Pour mixture into pan; flatten slightly. Repeat the procedure 5 times to form 6 latkes. Sauté 3 1/2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Remove latkes from pan; keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and potato mixture to yield 12 latkes total. Serve with sour cream mixture.

Each year I'm flummoxed by the kickoff to our holiday season. Let's bring family and friends together to give thanks for what we have on Thursday, and then trample our fellow man at 5:00 a.m. at a local Walmart to purchase cheap electronics on Friday? How does that celebrate the holiday season?
"Good Will Towards Men"
"Peace on Earth"
Are these just words we write on our holiday cards out of tradition and the brainwashing of decades of Christmas carols? We spend an insane amount of time and money on decorations and presents and general fa-la-la-la'ing -- but these days its only surface deep.
We should be living the holiday spirit every day -- wishing our global neighbors and our literal neighbors "peace on earth." We should be treating those around us with smiles, and good cheer, and homemade sugar cookies ALL YEAR ROUND. Not just when we bust out the artificial holiday wreath and tack it to our front door.
This holiday season we see atrocities in Afghanistan continue, war break out between Israelis and Palestineans, Congolese rebels take over the city of Goma, and on and on and on... this isn't new, nor is it a reason NOT to count our blessings and celebrate the holiday season. But it IS perhaps reason to think about what matters most. How to not take family, friends, health, peace, and even our jobs for granted.
Do we need more baubles and electronics and plastic toys to be happy? Could we celebrate the true spirit of these holidays with compassion, love, and a commitment to do more in our communities, to spend more time with family, and get off the iPhone, iPad, Wii, and laptop and instead share a glass of wine with a good friend and catch up?
This Black Friday I ask you to think about the money you are willing to put into stuff, and consider putting it into your community, local or global. Invest in 'peace on earth' and 'goodwill towards men' and donate to the charity of your choosing (of course we'd encourage you to support Mountain2Mountain if you are so inclined).
Consider that Black Friday could become a day that changes the world and celebrates the spirit of the holidays! So sleep in, enjoy an extra cup of coffee with your family over the kitchen table, eat some leftover pie for breakfast, avoid the mad rush to buy buy buy, and instead donate online to a charity that you believe is doing great things. Use your money to create a ripple of change that affects all mankind this holiday season.
Peace on earth to all!

Projection cellphones
by Edwin
Projectors used to be large, bulky items that were extremely expensive to purchase and maintain, but thanks to the advent of technology, projectors could be shrunk down in size with the possibility of including them in cellphones sometime down the road. This concept by Stefano Casanova (must be a charmer, eh) sees a Windows-based handset projecting its screen onto a flat surface courtesy of the micro light projector that has been integrated into the LCD. All you need to do to activate it is flip the display downwards.

As of 2015, health care options for Georgia residents include health programs under the Affordable Care Act, state health insurance, and plans from other providers such as Cigna. Each provider has different plans tailored to meet the needs of individuals, based on such factors as income, family and job type.Continue Reading
Those signing up for federal government health care under the Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare, can sign up at Healthcare.gov. Users who want to sign up must go through an online application process that may take half an hour or more, and which consists of entering personal information such as a Social Security number and employer information. Applicants are also required to send in a copy of recent pay stubs or wage amounts.
The state of Georgia provides a few health care options to its residents through the Georgia Department of Community Health. Teachers, employees of the state school system, and other state employees may qualify for Georgia's State Health Benefit Plan. As with other state agencies, the GDCH administers Medicaid to qualifying individuals, and also provides a special health program, PeachCare, for children.
Cigna's website outlines its health care offerings to Georgia residents, which in 2015 includes myCigna Health Savings 6000 and myCigna Health Flex 2000.Learn more about Social Services

Deep Lake and Lake Vicente is a 18.2 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Roslyn, Washington that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from June until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
nature trips
wild flowers
From the trail head its 2 miles up moderate switchbacks through old growth forest before you reach the first smaller lake. The weight of your pack will determine how difficult this section is. This is a good spot to have a quick snack and rehydrate. 3 to 4 miles further along the trail you will pass several smaller ponds and the amount of shade is reduced as you are now out of the forest and at higher elevations. You have the option to go to Peggys Pond as one junction. Once over the ridge you will see Deep Lake in sight approximately 2 miles down. The decent happens quicker with the prize in site. Once at the lake there are several camps on the west side of lake as well as a few spots on the east side of lake. The lake was cool, but very refreshing after the long hike. Many trout were seen swimming in the crystal clear waters with Cathedral Rock and Mt. Daniel as the backdrop to this amazing lake. Would do it again.

I have never had to worry about where my next meal was coming from. My grandmother ran a wonderful restaurant in Houston, Texas in the early nineteen forties... "Mary Lou's Cafe." She always had a big pot of chilli and beans with wonderful cornbread on the stove for me when I came home from grade school in Houston and high school in Seattle.
These days I am having to learn how to eat healthily rather than "keep my stomach full." And I am glad I lived long enough to appreciate the difference between feeling full and being spiritually satisfied.
So many of our sisters and brothers have never had a chance to make that choice. And one of the time you and I are asked to reflect on their needs is this Sunday, October 16th.
That is the focus of Archbishop Tutu's Oxfam Reflection below.

|RAF Donna Nook
Lincolnshire Range
High up on the Lincolnshire coast were a couple of small bases; North Coates once fielded much of the Bloodhound surface to air missile defence the RAF possessed, fields of missiles; and just to it's south and actually on the beach was RAF Donna Nook, a live weapons range. In the late 80's the range was viewable from a public footpath that lead between the sea wall defences & dunes, and the beach itself. Sitting on the footpath meant you were about 600 feet from the targets and had an unobstructed view of what might happen in battle. I visited the location several times, only taking photo's on one occasion, but in a short period of time we got quite a bit of business. The Donna Nook ranges, are still open, but I note that now the dunes are considered a national wild life preserve, so I guess access to the range itself may be limited.
In 1988 and 1989 the primary users of the range (numerically at least) were the A-10's from RAF Bentwaters, down the Suffolk coast, and RAF Alconbury. The pilots of these attack aircraft would spend quite a bit of time raking the sand with cannon fire. One of the days I was there, approximately 12 A-10's were in-circuit and bombing and strafing the range.
At the time I worked down at the Theddlethorpe Gas Plant, and would see a lot of inbound traffic. The range worked 5 days a week, and then once a year, for about a week, very large ordinance was dropped. From the Gas Plant the effect of 1000 lb bombs being dropped over 10 miles away was quite unnerving.

Put the kids to bed early, I'm coming home drunk …
The title of this post is a Homer Simpson quote, but it's the first thing I thought about when writing it. The post is actually about being home alone and O'Death.
It's not very often that I find myself at home alone for the weekend. Heather is heading off with the kids to her sister's place, which leaves me flying solo. I always plan on spending times like this being productive and I usually am, too productive. I end up staying up way too late working, then I wake up at the usual 7ish, because that's what I'm accustomed to (damn you body clock!). I end up being more sleep deprived than usual and that ain't right, especially from working.
I have been seriously craving live music lately. In my youth I would see several bands every week, so withdrawl occurs from time to time. I've decided to get a fix of a good, small, crowded live show.
I poked around the tubes and found that a band called O'Death (and others) are playing The Basement on Friday night. I liked the name straight away, but I've never heard or seen them before. I checked out their MySpace page and am impressed with their unique sound, so I plan to see the show. The full listing of the show can be found here.
Want to join me? Let me know, they look awesome.

The concert is part of the Americana Music Festival. You can buy tickets for $15 at the door, they recommend you be there by 7pm. Or your can purchase a wristband for $35 at Grimey's (upstairs from the venue) to get in any of the shows this weekend. They also mentioned that wristbands will get preference over regular ticket folk like me. Hope to see you at the show.

HP G60-530CA Built-in Microphone Failure
The built-in Microphone for my HP G60 Laptop is not detecting audio. I can run an external mic without problems so I don't understand why I can't run the built in mic as well.
I am currently running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 with a Conexant Pebble HD Smart Audio sound card.
I've updated the drivers from HP's website and I have played with most of the settings, still nothing, not even static.
|My System Specs
|02 Jan 2013
Go to the Sound Panel Control Panel/Hardware and Sound and finally Sound. In the Sound Panel click on the Recording Tab. The mic should be show and if its disabled, enable it. DO NOT make it the default recording device, the Stereo Mix (System Mixer) should be set as the default recording device.
You can RIGHT click on the icon for your internal mic and then LEFT click properties.
|My System Specs
|02 Jan 2013
Under the sound window, I could not change the default setting for the mic away from making it a default device, the box is greyed out. There is no setting allowing me to choose Stereo Mixer. I tried boosting the mic boost levels up to 40 dB and maxing out the volume level to 100% and I do get a faint level of constant static, but still no audio input. I played around with the level settings using a headset and all worked well through that.
|My System Specs
|03 Jan 2013
In the Sound/Recording section, RIGHT click in a blank area in that panel and then LEFT click to select show Disabled and Disconnected devices. Then see if anything else shows up, such as Stereo Mix.
Also what does the Device Manager show for Sound Devices? Does it show the Conexent or does it show HD Audio Codec? (you may also have an HDMI Video card audio, too). If it shows HD Audio Codec that indicates the Conexent was not installed an all you have is the basic function Windows installed sound driver.
|My System Specs
|03 Jan 2013
No other devices are show as disabled or disconnected. Under Device Manager's Sound tab, it shows Conexant's Pebble HD Smart Audio and also Intel's HD Audio HDMI. There is also an HD Audio Controller under the System Devices Tab (unsure if this is helpful).
Let's assume Conexant was not properly installed, do you know where I could download the appropriate software to apply it? or would you recommend something else?
|My System Specs
|03 Jan 2013
In most cases the vendor supplied sound driver is the preferred. Non Vendor drivers many times will either not work or not work correctly. I went to the HP site but couldn't find the spec's for the sound and/or the sound driver. I found lots of other items, but nothing that listed the actual sound or the driver.
I don't have any HD Audio Controller under the system devices. Disable that (don't uninstall it) and see if that makes any difference. You may have to restart the PC to see if anything changes.

Plymouth manager Peter Reid is boosted by having Stephane Zubar at his disposal for the visit of Brentford.
The defender impressed in a trial at Home Park at the start of the season and had to wait for a dispute with his old club, Vaslui in Romania, to be resolved before he could make his debut.
Zubar has been training with the club ever since and, after receiving international clearance, is in contention to start.
Kari Arnason has completed his four-match suspension and returns to the Argyle squad, while Luke Summerfield is ruled out with a knee injury.
Carl Fletcher could return from injury and goalkeeper David Button could also come back from a thigh problem.
On-loan midfielder Conor Clifford is due to make his last appearance before returning to parent club Chelsea, but Reid is trying to thrash out a deal to keep the youngster.
Pim Balkestein and Karleigh Osborne return to the Brentford squad for the trip.
The Bees' first-choice central-defensive partnership missed Tuesday night's 1-0 FA Cup defeat by Aldershot through suspension.
With David McCracken currently sidelined by a calf injury, Stephen Wright deputised as a makeshift centre-half alongside Leon Legge.
