Franklin D. Roosevelt, insurance salesman?
While the future 32nd president of the United States didn't hawk policies, he did spend most of the 1920s working for a Maryland-based insurance company. After his failed attempt to get elected vice president in 1920, the position allowed him to mine the political and financial contacts he would need when he next ran for public office.
Now, the wooden desk that FDR worked at during his eight-year stint as a business executive is being donated to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and Museum in New York's Hudson Valley.
"This desk is what FDR used to maintain his public connections," said Bob Clark, supervisory archivist at the FDR presidential library in Hyde Park, 75 miles north of New York City. "We're delighted to have it."
The 300-pound walnut executive desk, made around 1920, is owned by Zurich American Insurance Co., based near Chicago. The company, a subsidiary of Switzerland-based Zurich Financial Services Group, is donating the desk to the FDR library as part of the company's commemoration of 100 years of doing business in America.
Roosevelt's employment with a company later purchased by Zurich is a lesser-known but still important segment of his pre-White House days, according to a business history expert.
"He was able to make the connections between all the players," said Bruce Weindruch, founder and CEO of The History Factory, a Virginia-based consulting firm that worked with Zurich on the FDR desk project.
The desk nearly got lost in the shuffle of a corporate office move in the mid-1980s, when the Fidelity and Deposit Co. of Baltimore was relocating its Manhattan operations. The New York staff asked an executive at the company's Baltimore headquarters what they should do with one of the old desks, since the new offices had no room for clunky vintage furniture.
The executive had the desk shipped to his Baltimore office.
According to Zurich officials, not long after the desk arrived, the executive attended a retirement luncheon for a longtime employee of the company's Manhattan clerical staff. The executive was informed by the retiree and one of her contemporaries that the old desk he had was in fact the same one FDR used. Later, another company executive had a plaque placed on an inside panel identifying the desk as FDR's during his tenure with Fidelity and Deposit from 1921 to 1928.
It was Baltimore newspaper publisher and Fidelity and Deposit executive Van Lear Black who hired Roosevelt to work for the insurance company, hoping the former assistant secretary of the Navy would use his contacts to boost business. After losing the 1920 election as Democratic presidential candidate James Cox's running mate, Roosevelt was on the company payroll Jan. 1, 1921.
"Van Lear Black thought he'd be a good vice president in charge of the New York City office because he had good connections," said the FDR library's Clark, "and he'd essentially serve as a rainmaker for the company."
Roosevelt contracted polio just months after he was hired to run the Manhattan office, which specialized in insuring government and corporate contracts. His well-known story of striving to overcome the resulting paralysis of his lower body overshadows his career as a businessman, Weindruch said. He said FDR's office job at 120 Broadway helped him deal with his daily physical challenges.
"It was a very important part of his rehabilitation," he said.
With Fidelity and Deposit involved in insuring major commercial and municipal infrastructure projects, Roosevelt was able to attract business through his contacts in military, industrial and governmental circles, Clark and Weindruch said.
It apparently worked. According to Weindruch, the company's surety business in Manhattan underwrote $10.2 million in policies in 1923, up from $7 million the previous year.
Roosevelt resigned from the company after his election in 1928 to the first of two consecutive two-year terms as governor of New York. Later, as president, FDR used his experience in the business world to launch the major infrastructure projects that were a key component of his administration's New Deal, Weindruch said.
"He took that playbook right out of the F and D years," he said.
Weindruch's company helped Zurich put together an exhibit featuring the FDR desk at the company's North American headquarters in Schaumburg, Ill. The desk will be on display until this spring, when it will be shipped to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Home National Historic Site in Hyde Park, N.Y., which includes the FDR presidential library and museum.

Bruce Ambacher (Historical WG), Gerry Barton (NOAA), Marilyn Buford (Vegetation SC), Don Buhler (Cadastral SC), Kim Burns-Braidlow (FGDC Staff), Dave Catlin (EPA), Kathy Covert (FGDC Staff), George Cross (Earth Cover WG), Jeff de La Beaujardiere (NASA), Greg Elmes (UCGIS), Max Ethridge (Base Carto SC), Andrew Euston (HUD), Alan Gaines (NSF), Eric Goods (FGDC Staff), Norm Gunderson (FGDC Staff), Anne Hale Miglarese (Bathymetric SC -via phone), Gilbert Mitchell (NOAA), John Moeller (Chair), David Morehouse (DOE), Katie Ryan (LOC), Peter Schweitzer (Geologic SC), Michael Shean (NACo), Bruce Spear (Ground Transportation SC), Tom Usselman (MSC), Leslie Wollack (NASA)
Information Items
John Moeller reported that no one has stepped forward to help with Rick Pearsall's request for a meeting coordinator for the 11th ISO TC211 Plenary to be held on September 2000 in Reston, Virginia. Mr. Moeller stated that Mark Reichardt is now working on NSDI international activities for the FGDC Secretariat and he will take the lead on this matter, however, participation is encouraged from FGDC member agencies to ensure there is NSDI/FGDC input.
Rick Pearsall and Barbara Poore are having a meeting in Herndon, Virginia, June 3-5, on Train the Trainer on Metadata.
Julie Binder Maitra is the new FGDC Standards Coordinator. Mark Reichardt is the NSDI International Coordinator.
Greg Elmes reported that he recently tried to gather contact information on federal agency's budget authority staff with regard to GIS budget control and found that a comprehensive list does not exit. Dr. Elmes needed this list for the Geodata Forum. Other members agreed that this list could be useful for many other instances.
- Action- Dr. Elmes will provide the Secretariat the list he has compiled and Coordination Group members will add additional names.
Gerry Barton reported that Greg Withee has been appointed to head NSDIS. The Department of Commerce 1998 report is available on the ESDIM web site at www.esdim.noaa.gov. Mr. Barton distributed CEOS brochures and briefly discussed a recent WGISS meeting.
Geodata Forum Update
Kathy Covert discussed some of the logistics for the Forum, including that 350-375 people have registered. Demographics for the registrants include: 5 countries and 35 states; 45% are fed's, 16% academics, 16% private sector, 10% regional, city, county officials, and 8% state government. John Moeller discussed the Forum's agenda.
C/FIP and You
Norm Gunderson expressed the same concerns as Dr. Elmes with regards to identifying early in the C/FIP development process the key budget people within the federal agencies he needed to collaborate with. Writing the C/FIP paper has problems yet to be solved and Mr. Gunderson would like to see everything completed by the Forum. Mr. Gunderson said that people view C/FIP as in competition with other initiatives. A statement in DOT markup language said that they may participate later in the year. On a positive note, Mr. Gunderson reported that 9 Congressional members have signed letters supporting C/FIP. Mr. Gunderson said to be prepared for a roller coaster ride with the budget this year and to keep pushing C/FIP as a good budget initiative. Partners can play a big role in this now since federal agencies are prohibited from lobbying Congress. Dr. Elmes said he is willing to act as a voice for the group. Mr. Gunderson added that NACo and NSGIC have resolutions to C/FIP, these are on the FGDC web site.
FY01 issues are less certain. Mr. Gunderson said there should be Steering Committee agency commitments and expressed possibilities of agency coalitions. Mr. Gunderson asked members to notify him if they have any information regarding their agencies FY01 activities that can fall under C/FIP.
Alan Gaines referenced an annual memo to agency heads that discusses FY01 interagency research and development priorities. The memo serves three primary purposes. First, it reiterates the investment principles that apply to all Federal R&D programs, especially those programs in the 21st Century Research Fund. Second, it identifies a set of activities that require a significant level of interagency coordination and focus for the FY 2001 budget cycle. Finally, it describes the R&D performance measures and accountability standards departments and agencies will be expected to observe.
Mr. Gunderson concluded by stating we are taking a new step forward and it is an evolutionary process that came out of the NAPA study. He said it is supported by stakeholders as a good government activity.
Mapping Science Overview
Tom Usselman briefed on the structure of National Academy of Science, of which the Mapping Science Committee is a part. The history, Dr. Usselman said, began when the Mapping Science Committee was requested by the USGS to look at mapping activities which led to their 1993 report. They have since done many follow-up activities on partnerships and the future of spatial data. Last year they did a report on distributed geolibraries which will be released on Monday at the Geodata Forum. Dr. Usselman discussed the Digital Geolibrary workshop to be held at Geodata Forum. The workshop goals are to develop a vision of geolibraries and identify research and policy issues. The Mapping Science Committee is now developing an assessment of geographic information sciences - what are education needs, research opportunities, workforce needs, etc. They are also looking at doing something useful to help promote C/FIP. Dr. Usselman suggested that they could also do a quick assessment of CAP programs.
NAPA GDIN Review
Alan Gaines reported on the NAPA GDIN Policy Study that was recently commissioned. The study is an analysis of certain legal limitations on access to and disclosure of disaster management data within the US that will be important to consider in developing a national component of the GDIN, that being the National Disaster Information Network. The study, which is available on the web at www.napawash.org/napa/index.html, looked at legal limitations involving intellectual property, privacy, liability, and security concerns. Dr. Gaines stated that GDIN was supposed to include classified data but there are classes of other data that fall under critical issue data that require security measures - such as location of power grids and they felt there needed to be some information about security issues of sensitive non-classified data. The study recommends the use of metadata and a metadata clearinghouse, along with mentioning the FGDC and the NSDI.
Dr. Gaines discussed various proposed Bills concerning topics such as anti-piracy and consumer/investor access promoting e-commerce and their use of 'reasonable use' clauses in an effort to avoid legal pit falls. With respect to the Privacy issue, Dr. Gaines said the FGDC is in good shape because of its well thought out Privacy Policy. Regarding liability issues, Dr. Gaines stated that if you provide standards or any kind of indication of quality or integrity then you may be liable for misuse. A question was raised as to if you document data and someone misuses the data, are you liable. Dr. Gaines says he suspects this will have to be tested in the courts. Data quality is subjective. Dr. Gaines encouraged everyone should take a look at the report and bring this issue to the table at a future meeting. It was suggested that at that future, there be knowledgeable legal council.
- Recommendation: Discuss legal liability issues at future meeting.
Digital Earth Video
A brief, still in draft form, Digital Earth video was played for the group. A suggestion was made to mention the Digital Earth and the FGDC web sites at the end of the video.
Communities and GIS
Andrew Euston, HUD, said he is concerned that recent activities, such as the Geodata Forum and C/FIP are leaving out the basis issue of civic access, as opposed to access by professional and planning groups. There needs to be outreach that is very hands-on. Mr. Euston is concerned that funds and technology are not matched at the community level. He asked who will it reach and how far will it dip down to the local and regional level. Community 20/20 reaches certain people, it has a proprietary format, but people don't use it - it is hard to sell. How can they make sure it reaches people at the local level? How can we mobilize to that level? He invites anyone interested in these issues to talk to HUD.
Planning for future Coordination Group meetings
Mr. Moeller suggested the group move to 'central themes' for a few upcoming meetings. The first being a convergence of technologies and projects. At the July meeting, the Digital Earth Reference Model and web mapping test bed project will be discussed. Other 'themes' may come out of the Forum. As discussed in today's meeting, Technology/ Policy/ Liability issues will need to be discussed at an upcoming meeting, possibly in September. Dr. Elmes would like to report the outcome of the UCGIS summer assembly in July.
Mr. Moeller reminded those leading the new ad-hoc task groups resulting from the Shepherdstown retreat to continue to make progress on the issues that were deemed important to the group.
Subcommittee and Working Group Chairs were asked to follow up on those FGDC endorsed standards they have sponsored in an effort to identify users of their standards. This is a result of comments received that most of the endorsed FGDC standards are one-agency standards. Chairs are to ensure that this information finds its way to their web sites.
- Action: Chairs ensure Subcommittees and Working Groups who have endorsed FGDC standards include information about the multi-user community of their standard(s) on their web site.

Charlottesville Albemarle Convention and Visitors Bureau
|This article is a stub. You can help cvillepedia by expanding it.
The Charlottesville Albemarle Convention and Visitors Bureau (CACVB) was established in 1979 to promote tourism in the community. Tourism is a large part of the local economy, accounting for over 4,800 jobs and $15.9 million in tax revenue for Charlottesville and Albemarle County[1]. Its operations are funded through a percentage of local lodging taxes. The bureau operates out of offices in the Downtown Transit Center.
Governance and mission
The bureau is governed by a Management Committee. The operating agreement that established the bureau requires a visitor's center to be operated in both the city and the county. The city serves as the bureau's fiscal agent, meaning that the bureau must operate under the city's procurement rules. In exchange, the city receives 2% of the bureau's income[2]. Kurt Burkhart is the executive director. He will step down on May, 2018. [3]
The mission of the CACVB is "to enhance the economic prosperity of City and County by promoting, selling and marketing the City of Charlottesville and County of Albemarle as a destination, in pursuit of the meetings and tourism markets[1]."
HistoryIn 2004, a new operating agreement was approved by the Charlottesville City Council and the Albemarle Board of Supervisors. A regional tourism council was eliminated, and the funding formula was changed to reflect that the CACVB would be funded from 30% of Charlottesville and Albemarle County's annual transient occupancy taxes.
|This section does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources (ideally, using inline citations). Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.
The Charlottesville Albemarle Convention and Visitors Bureau rents space in the center for a visitors kiosk and administrative space. They pay Charlottesville Area Transit an annual lease of $4,872 for the kiosk and $31,896 for office space[5].
The bureau also operates a kiosk in the Albemarle County Office Building.
Fund balance controversy
In the fall of 2011, it came to the attention of city and county officials that the bureau had accrued a fund balance in excess of $750,000. They argued that the agency should not have a balance higher than 15% to 20% of its annual budget and asked for a portion of it back. Bureau staff, backed by the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce, pleaded at the December 7, 2011 meeting of the Board of Supervisors to be allowed to develop a plan to spend down the balance.

When Apple released Aperture, its new professional photo editing application to compete with work alongside Adobe Photoshop, it really turned my head more than most software does. The interface is just beautiful, the features are amazingly thoughtful, and I honestly don't think I'll be able to use it to it's full potential but I'll probably still buy it. Now how often does … [Read more...]

Philippine government websites are under heavy attack from hackers, apparently from China, amid a tense territorial dispute between the two countries in the South China Sea, officials said Thursday.
While some Philippine hackers have reportedly launched retaliatory attacks, the government appealed to them for restraint, said Roy Espiritu, spokesman of the government's information technology office.
Espiritu conceded this could be a ruse and the attacks may have actually originated from other sources.
But he said all the attacks came after Philippine ships faced off with Chinese patrol vessels in April 8 in the disputed Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea. Before that, there had been no such attacks.
The Chinese vessels initially prevented the Philippine Navy from arresting alleged Chinese poachers in the area. The stand-off is continuing.
Budget Secretary Florencio Abad said his agency's website had again been defaced on Wednesday, just days after a similar hacking attack.
Earlier, three of President Benigno Aquino's websites and a state university website were also attacked, supposedly by hackers from China.
In at least one case, the hackers left a message asserting China's claim to the South China Sea.
Espiritu said the technology office had implemented its own "firewall procedures" to fend off many of the attacks and was working with law-enforcement agencies to investigate them.
He called for restraint from vengeful local hackers. "We would like to request them to be the bigger man and not escalate the situation."

ARM ecosystem director Nizar Romdan claims that smartphones will be able to generate greater visuals than the PlayStation 4 or the Xbox One by the end of 2017.
For years, analysts have predicted that smartphones would be the end of traditional console gaming as we know it. After all, smartphone gaming revenue has surpassed handhelds, and the market shows no signs of slowing down. Of course, mobile games are traditionally smaller experiences, with console titles able to produce visuals that are just not possible on most current Android and iOS mobile devices. By the end of 2017, that could change.
That is, if statements by the ARM's ecosystem director Nizar Romdan turn out to be true. Speaking at the Casual Connect conference in Amsterdam this past weekend, Romdan claimed that ARM is developing chips for mobile devices that will be able to produce graphics greater than what is currently outputted by the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This boost of power means that games that have so far only been playable on home consoles or PCs may now be playable on smartphones and tablets as well.
It's also been suggested that this additional power could also be used to push the virtual reality movement in the mobile space. If rumors of Google making a new VR headset turn out to be true, the tech giant, and others experimenting with mobile VR options, would be able to use the additional power to create VR experiences closer in quality to those that will be found on Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR.
So, do more powerful smartphones and tablets spell the end of traditional gaming? It's unlikely. The mobile market is markedly different than the console one, with completely different audiences. For example, the people that helped Kim Kardashian: Hollywood be downloaded over 84 million times are probably not the same people that led Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 to be the best-selling game of 2015.
This means that while smartphones and tablets will technically be capable of producing graphics that outdo PS4 and Xbox One, there probably won't be many games developed that actually do so. Until there is a proven audience for such experiences on mobile devices, expect that market to continue to be dominated by low budget games.
While traditional gaming hardware won't be going anywhere anytime soon, this significant boost in power for mobile devices should still expand the platform's possibilities. We suspect that most developers will use the more powerful technology to craft mobile VR experiences that are perhaps more complex than what we've seen so far. Ultimately, time will tell, but we should find out for ourselves within the next couple of years.

Wakeboarding Club
The Wakeboarding Club takes place at Thorpe Lakes in Chertsey on a weekly basis. This exciting water sport uses a cable system to tow riders around the perimeter of the lake, whilst riding a wakeboard. A very physical and fun activity, wakeboarding helps the boys to develop their fine motor skills of balance and coordination and body awareness, whilst also developing strength and other attributes of fitness.
After mastering the basic skills of riding the boys are able to take their KASA (Kickers and sliders accreditation), allowing them to use a variety of ramps, rails and other floating obstacles. With many National, European and World title-level riders, and top coaching, available at the lake, the dedicated boys have plenty of opportunity ahead in this dynamic sport.

Actress Sienna Miller has opened up about her past mistakes in a candid new magazine interview, insisting she is lucky to still have a Hollywood career.
As ex-boyfriend Jude Law testifies about her alleged affair with Daniel Craig, while they were dating, as part of a trial into the U.K.'s phone-hacking scandal, of which both he and Miller were victims, the Alfie star admits she made life difficult for herself by not "behaving the way you should" in her personal life.
The actress also famously dated Rhys Ifans and Balthazar Getty, who was married with four kids at the time, and tells Britain's Esquire magazine, "I sabotaged things. I burnt a lot of bridges."
She adds, "On set, I was first to arrive, last to leave, best friends with the crew, totally professional, no d**king around. But when I wasn't at work, I wasn't behaving the way you should.
"I'm very lucky to have a second chance in that town... It was really bad. What was going on in my private life was not an easy thing to read about. People don't want to see films with people they don't approve of in them."
Miller also credits her reconciliation with Law after a bitter break-up, amid a cheating scandal, for helping to mend the former couple's relationship and turning them into good friend for life.
She explains, "When something ends in a way like that, it's important if you can, in a way, go back and revisit it and either shut that door or create a new room. So it (reconciliation) was a very healthy, cathartic experience, and I think it paved the way for both of us to have great futures with no animosity or drama.
"(It was) such a huge relief, to heal that. And I'm great friends with him and with his children. I love them, madly. Just huge love and respect for all of them."
Miller has her own family now - she became a mom to daughter Marlowe 18 months ago and is engaged to marry actor Tom Sturridge.
She says, "I feel really settled. I have a wonderful life. I'm up every morning with a little baby. That gives you incredible perspective. It's such a gift. And it's grounding in a way you can't describe.
"(And Tom) is the antithesis of me, really. And that's a first for me, to be in a relationship with someone who's in a lot of respects very different. He's the perfect balance to my lunacy, which makes him sound really boring, but he's not, at all. It's good, it works. It's not easy, of course, but we're a family and I love that. I wake up and I'm like, 'I'm a family, I'm a grown up!' I still can't believe it."

|Trump Marina Hotel - Atlantic City, NJ
|25 October 2003
|by Dave Nardone
Just a few words on an Evening with Rick Wakeman on Saturday night:
What a great night! Rick's performance was a perfect blend of great musicianship and entertaining anecdotes from his time in Yes and beyond. The room was full to capacity, and seated a couple hundred, so it was a great intimate setting for a show like this.
Rick played some classic Yes tunes, such as Wonderous Stories and The Meeting, as well as much of his great solo work, including Catherine Howard, Jane Seymour, Merlin the Magician and Eleanor Rigby. Indispersed with these great pieces were some hysterical stories about crazy fans, his family, and being drunk on stage (always a crowd-pleaser!)
One other highlight was Rick's "Nursery Rhyme Concerto", with bits of nursery rhyme songs in the style of various composers. One such bit was "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in the style of Anderson, Howe, Squire and White, mimicing his bandmates flailing attempts to play out ideas on the piano.
Thank you Rick for a wonderful evening! Come back and see us again in the States soon!

|First Appearance
|Black Morrefus
|Notable Members
| Morris Shifton
Molly Formine
Rocky Punchback
Casey Specframe
Brandon Bland
A Morrefus (pronounced morr-fuss, plural: Morrefi) is an extraterrestrial species, inhabitant to the extraordinary planet Blobz.
Morrefi have a blob-like body, complete with gloss and a splatter-like silhouette. However, the six organs that make their silhouette a splatter are actually fixed to the body in this way. These organs are actually their limbs, so they can grab objects with them. Morrefi can walk with one or two of their limbs, but they usually float instead.
A Morrefus has by nature an irregular DNA. Because of this, it can change shape at will, and each shape has its different abilities. It can also stretch its limbs out up to 50 centimeter.
Morrefi come in five different colors: red, blue, yellow, green and white. The skin color determined where their ancestors lived and have a special ability. Red Morrefi lived in warm and dry places, such as deserts, while blue ones lived in tundra climate areas. Green ones lived atop the mountains and the yellow Morrefi lived underground. The white ones were more common and lived in the areas with intermediate temperatures and heights. Nowadays, all five races live everywhere across the world, though some still have their preferences to their ancestors' original locations.
Red Morrefi have more stamina and defense, but their speed is poor. Blue Morrefi are the faster race, but are not as powerful. The yellow Morrefi were the powerhouses, although they hardly get off the ground when they jump. The green Morrefi are the highjumpers, but don't have much stamina in comparison to the rest. The white Morrefi were all-around.
Game Appearances
Black Morrefus
Morrefi make their debut in this game, and Morris Shifton, a Morrefi with quite some quirks, will star in this game.

I have a confession, the only reason I was remotely interested in the Royal Wedding was because I was curious to see what Miss Middleton would be wearing. As soon as I saw Kate in her dress I went from being less than enthusiastic, to a Royal Wedding enthusiast. The dress, which fit Kate like a little white glove was designed by Sarah Burton (the creative director of Alexander McQueen). As I understand, Kate was very involved in the design process, and knew that Burton would be able to marry tradition and modernity in just the right way.
The Break-Down:
The Dress: Long sleeved with individual flowers hand-cut form lace sewn onto silk tulle. A pleated A-line skirt complete with lace embellishment.
The Veil and Jewelry: Kate wore a folded mantilla veil with hand-embroidered flowers along the trim. When it came to her headpiece, Kate opted for an "understated" Cartier tiara lent to her by Will's grandmother, The Queen. Her naked neck was offset by a beautiful pair of earrings that were inspired by the Middleton family's new coat of arms.
The Hair and Makeup: Not wanting anything too fussy, Kate's favorite London hairstylist gave her a demi-chignon. On the day of the wedding Kate opted not to hire a professional make-up artist, instead she applied her own.
I admire Kate's reverence to the tradition of the Westminster Abbey as well as the Royal Family. That said, I love that she stayed true to her personal style which is classic and demure while at the same time adding modern touches that kept her wedding day look up to date. I feel like I could gush for pages and pages on how perfect she looked that day. With this one dress Kate Middleton went from being Will's well-dressed girlfriend, to royalty.

A couple photos from our last book club. The boys intrigued by Buddha.
Dorothy started The Scarlet Letter.
On Sunday I handed out (as many as I could remember) calendars for upcoming events. If you didn't get one, they will be available at the classrooms again.
The main points to note are the following:
Sugar cookie decorating (Sunday 11/27)
Pizza eating and Origami making (Sunday 12/18)
Book club is canceled until after Thanksgiving
Advent (11/27-12/18)
Here, I will expand what is on the Calendar for Advent. I believe all ages will enjoy this Advent season as we joyfully look forward to the coming birth of Baby Jesus.
The High School girls will be reading Watch for the Light with Jewly. Authors range from C.S. Lewis to Thomas Merton to T.S. Eliot.
Even the 2-5 year olds will begin to look forward to Christmas as we learning about the quiet, waiting colors of Advent. They will learn about the shepherds, farm animals, Mary, Joseph, and the little baby Jesus.
Their experience will only be enhanced through family participation. If you would like to participate, suggestions are on the calendar. You can find simple instructions online for making an Advent wreath or paper chain calendar together.
Luke 1:26-45 is the suggested reading because this is the "before story." It tells about Mary and Mary's pregnancy with Jesus.
I hope your families are able to embrace this church season of quiet and waiting while we wait, wait, wait for the birth of Jesus.

Dinner party recipes are rather hard to define. What makes a dinner party a dinner party? Pizza in the living room or barbecued chicken in the back yard could both be a dinner party, of sorts.
We could define them as "sit-down" dinners but sitting on the floor, the grass, or a bale of hay is still sitting down, but not really a dinner party.
So let's just classify them as "sit down around the dining table"
parties, where the dinner party menus and recipes are kicked up, and
where you'd never consider using plastic utensils. Even within those
parameters you have lots of leeway in how casual or formal the occasion.
Each menu serves 6 or more and includes a dessert and wine or other beverage suggestion. Add soup, appetizers, an extra side dish, etc., as befits your party and your style. Some starter suggestions follow the menus. You may want to end the meal with True Irish Coffee.
Garlic Knots, a tasty twist on garlic bread, pairs well with almost every menu.
Starsky and Hutch, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, love and marriage, Salmon and Dill Sauce
The secret is out.
Dressed up meat and potatoes, complete with cummerbund
It's lobster. It's tacos. How can you go wrong?
A wildly delicious make-ahead meal
It's a known fact that pasta, champagne, and strawberries makes hearts go zing.
Strawberry Parfait
Stir a little honey into softened cream cheese or yo-cheese. Layer the mixture alternately with sliced strawberries in parfait or wine glasses. It takes about 1/2 cup of each per serving.
Very French. Will you love it? Oui!
And check out the new stir-fry sauce recipes.
More appetizers, more soups, and more desserts to accompany the dinner party recipes.

Yeah, yeah… this post is supposed to be about making pickles (see way below for all that stuff) but half the fun came from the visuals this little project produced. Neatly packed cut vegetables in jars, love it. Before the hot vinegary liquid is poured and after: glorious.
Why the fascination, you ask? I don't know but in the end, I just made all the images the same size.
(recipe after the photos)
|The beloved mixed veggie jar: green and yellow beans, radishes, carrots, cauliflower, onions, ginger, fresh coriander, garlic and a couple of chills for good measure.
|As straight up as I went with the pickling project: local organic baby cumbers, mustard seeds, fresh dill, a couple of chilis for good measure, again.
|Poetry in a jar.
|Just waiting for hot lovin'.
|Guilty pleasures: Mini peppers with LOTS of hotness going on inside... and garlic.
|Submerged and beautiful.
|Bleeding heart: local organic red beets, fennel, mint, dill… and garlic.
|My XL jar of over the top spicy pickles. All mine!

I commend Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for taking responsibility for the security decisions that led to the untimely death of our Ambassador in Benghazi, Chris Stevens.
It is very clear she did this to serve as a cover for the mendacity of our esteemed Vice President Joe Biden and to shield our Commander in Chief Barack Obama from any responsibility. It must be hard for her to eat her own words. Back in the 2008, campaign she fundamentally attached all responsibility to the president saying the "buck stops with the President of the U.S.," as she charged that the then junior senator was less than ready to be president.
What an interesting turn of events for her. She is a political veteran. She understands that as an appointee her allegiance is to the appointing authority. I am positive the screws were tightened to ensure she took the fall for the administration.
But let's just take a quick look at the timeline. On the Sunday after the terrorist attack it wasn't her that went to the Sunday talk shows to talk about it. That distinction was given to the Ambassador to the United Nations. Susan Rice's talking points were that this most unfortunate event (not a terrorist attack) was due to a video about the Prophet Mohammed that had been out since May and nobody had watched. That entire line would become an embarrassment to the administration as the truth trickled out on a daily basis. The most damaging information came during a congressional hearing last week about the attack, where we learned that in fact more security was requested, and shockingly it had been denied.
Then, incredulously, during the vice-presidential debate a day after that congressional hearing, VP Biden said that they (meaning him and the President) did not know of such security requests. That was his feeble attempt to leave on the minds of the debate watchers the notion that, had they known about those requests, they personally would have seen that more security was authorized.
So now Secretary Clinton assumes the responsibility. Why didn't she do it on day one? Why didn't she go to the Sunday shows and said she was responsible? Instead she takes responsibility while on a mission in Perú? Was it the fog of war or the fog of a presidential campaign?
Nothing has changed, except that we are now aware that her prophetic words came true. Our president was not ready to be president. Maybe if he had attended the presidential daily briefings where the most critical intelligence about threats to the country are discussed, instead of spending more than 600 hours in golf outings, he would have known of the dangers our ambassadors and personnel of that region were facing. We now know that she was right four years ago. Ultimately, even if she attempts to take responsibility, the buck indeed stops with the president of the United States.
Rosario Marin was the 41st Treasurer of the United States and is co-chair of the American Competitiveness Alliance.

Our stance on Android Devices is that we want more of them, from any phone maker, on any network. Year 2009 seems to be shaping up in a big way for Android Devices and looks to be even bigger with Samsung confirming that they'll be bringing an Android Device to both Sprint AND T-Mobile this year. According to Samsung:
"We are accelerating the development process for Google phones in order to meet the specific needs of local carriers"
We're going to remain hopeful and translate "accelerating the development process" to "as soon as possible". We here at Android Central are crossing our fingers for the much fabled Second Android Device.

Jeremy Williams Making Case For Full-Time Duty With Toronto Maple LeafsDecember 14, 2008
He is one of the most intriguing, enigmatic young players to come through the Toronto Maple Leafs organization in years. And now he's grabbing attention again.
Simply put, Jeremy Williams knows how to put the puck in the net and the way he has responded to being called up to the NHL is nothing short of remarkable.
Williams was but a footnote to the Leafs' draft of 2003, selected 220th overall after such future stars as John Doherty, Martin Sagat, and Konstantin Volkov. In fact, he had been passed over in his original draft year, 2002.
But the diminutive right winger impressed during his second year with the Toronto Marlies, scoring at a point-per-game pace and earning a late-season call-up to the Leafs.
One game. One shot. One goal. It would become a familiar storyline for Williams.
In fact, the Regina native's first NHL goal marked the continuation of a unique Maple Leafs' trend. It was the third straight season that the Leafs had called up a prospect for one game at the end of the year and the player had scored. Matt Stajan did it in 2002-03, Kyle Wellwood did it in 2003-04, and Williams did it in the NHL's first post-lockout season.
But Williams would forge an impressive pattern of his own.
His next season was marred by injuries, but a bright spot came toward the end of the season when Williams was once again called up and once again lit the lamp in his only game.
No. 48 held a unique place in the history books for awhile. He was the only player in NHL history to have appeared in only two games and scored in both.
So imagine the fanfare in 2007-08 when Williams was called up again in the second half and, surprise, surprise, netted his third goal in his third career game.
Suddenly, the seventh round pick was making a name for himself.
Alas, all good things must come to an end, and Williams' streak was a good thing. This time he stuck with the Leafs for another 17 games and managed just one goal over that stretch.
With the Leafs out of playoff contention and nursing some injuries, this was Williams' big chance to prove he belonged in the NHL. Granted, he didn't get a lot of ice time, but Leaf fans, and presumably the organization itself, began to re-evaluate their confidence in the young winger.
Williams' chances of cracking the NHL seemed to be dealt a death blow this fall when he was cut from a rebuilding Leafs squad with a wide open competition up front. In fact, fellow 2003 pick John Mitchell made the team ahead of him.
But after potting 11 goals in his first 19 games with the Marlies, Williams got the call again when Niklas Hagman went on injured reserve.
What did he do in his first game? You have three guesses.
He scored! And he added an assist for good measure, his first in the NHL.
What did he do in his second game?
He scored again!
If Williams keeps up this play, Ron Wilson will have a tough decision to make when Hagman returns from injury.
Williams can snipe as well as anyone in the Leafs organization, and that is a quality the team has lacked for a number of years. And isn't the purpose of a rebuild partly to give your prospects a chance to show what they can do? Well, Williams can do a lot and the Leafs certainly have nothing to lose by giving him a full-time roster spot. He is surely more deserving of a regular shift than Ryan Hollweg.
If the Leafs decide to send Williams back to the Marlies, they will be sending him a message loud and clear: you don't have a future with this team. If the Leafs don't think enough of Williams to let him play during a rebuilding season when there isn't a lot of talent up front, he most definitely will not earn a roster spot in the future when the team is building toward contender status.
Time is running out for Williams. He's almost 25. It's now or never and he has earned the opportunity to make it "now."

Do you ever see signs to exhibitions running at your local village or town hall and just walk straight by? We recommend that next time you have a little wander in. We have wandered past the sign to a local scout train exhibition on a few occasions in the last couple of years. We've always been on our way somewhere else or haven't had time to take a look. How silly were we? We saw the sign up for the coming exhibition this time and made a special effort to go along for a look.
A few hours later, a ploughmans, several slices of cake, a few cups of tea and a jug of squash down, and a pair of earrings and necklace up, we were happy and train'ed up.
There were several miniature railways set up, including a 6 inch high thomas the tank engine and friends!! Some trains had steam pumping out the engines, others were picking up cargo, some had working signals. Our favourite was the Welsh railway village (pictured) with it's doughnut shop, pub, church and cows. We had great difficulty walking away from that one!
Once we'd had our fill of trains, and had managed not to purchase any of the fantastic trainage on offer, we sat in the waiting room with a cup of tea and cake while the younger members of the party sat with their squash and watched Thomas doing his thing.
On the way out we even had a lucky dip and won a beautiful (!) pair of earrings and equally special necklace.
So next time you wander past a local exhibition, wander in and have a look. You'll be supporting a local group as well as possibly stumbling on a little gem of a few hours.

Shirakiin Ririchiyo's dream of independence had long seemed impossible, and she felt doomed to the life of a secluded shut-in. Until, that is, she arrived at the mysterious mansion known as Ayakashi Kan, where every potential resident must pass a strict series of tests before being allowed in. The drawback to this private Eden, however, is that every resident must also have a personal Secret Service agent accompanying them at all times, and the agent assigned to her, Soushi Miketsukami, may be far more than he appears to be. Could the "guardian angel" looking over her shoulder be more than just foxy looking and actually a fox spirit? Get ready for supernatural sleuthing and spirited suspense as the most secretive secret service of all unleashes a whole series of stunning surprises in INU X BOKU SECRET SERVICE!
Now Trending Popular All Time Popular This Month Popular This Week Comedy Drama Romance Supernatural
Maison de Ayakashi is an exclusive apartment complex; each tenant gets their own bodyguard. Ririchiyo has finally convinced her parents to let her live alone, but when Soushi introduces himself as her bodyguard, she will try everything in her power to drive him off.
Ririchiyo is out shopping with Sorinozuka, whose goal is to keep her out the complex until 6. When they return, Karuta has suddenly gone missing...
After dealing with making a good first impression at school, Ririchiyo notices Soushi turning a girl down. After asking him about it, her emotions get the best of her.
Watanuki has returned from training with his SS, Natsume. Watanuki, Natsume, and Souishi have known each other since childhood, and Natsume hints that he knows about Soushi's past.
Ririchiyo has been getting strange text messages from an unknown number. Though she shrugs them off, the messages are starting to become more frequent...and threatening.
Roromiya spends a lot of time in her own world, oblivious to everything else. Watanuki believes people just don't get her. Ririchiyo, meanwhile, wants to get closer to her but isn't sure how.
A ghost has invaded the mansion, activating its security system. Nobara, Sorinozuka, and Chino are locked in the cafeteria, Watanuki and Natsume in the hallway, while Ririchiyo and Miketsukami are locked in her room. This is the perfect time for Ririchiyo to express her feelings...but will she?
Ririchiyo wants the type of friendship the others share with their SS. But her inability to speak her true feelings doesn't help. What can she do to break the barrier of Master / Servant between them?
A series of commands have appeared in the mansion. But that means nothing to Ririchiyo as she frets over her upcoming tea date with Miketsukami.
Tea time has gone sour with Kageru's sudden arrival surprising both Ririchiyo and Miketsukami. Kageru has come to pick her up to give her an important message.
Miketsukami's history has been exposed. A Child born with youaki blood is a reason for celebration, but in his family, things are very different.
The residents are burying a time capsule for their future selves. Ririchiyo has accidentally put the wrong letter inside the capsule and given a very personal one to Miketsukami.

Between my realty work and doing side jobs, the end of a very hectic week is finally here. 5 straight days of getting home to change clothes and then flying off to various homes for new and emergency work. I clocked 44 hrs at the day job and then put in another another 46 hours doing side work. My work days normally start around 6 am, but I work independently and set my own schedule. I've done most of my browsing on here using my Android this week.
Monday: Hung 12 boards in a kitchen ceiling with a tape & bed coat. (In Chesapeake)
Tuesday: Ripped out 140 linear feet of molded drywall & baseboard and set dryers in place in a new construction home. (Virginia Beach) (plumbing failure)
Weds: Sprayed knockdown texture in 6 rooms for a lady (Norfolk)
Thurs: Back to Chesapeake to put a skim coat on the 12 board kitchen ceiling, then back to the mold job in Virginia Beach to install a new sheetrock at the mold job.
Friday: Sanded and primed the new kitchen ceiling in Chesapeake, then hauled ass back over to the mold job to remove more newly discovered molded walls.
I envy you guys/girls that have a dedicated shop. My shop is shared with alot of my construction tools so it really takes a beating when things get fast and furious. Oh well…. made some good money this week.

My Current Whereabouts II
So where exactly have I been?
Well Bonnaroo for sure. And beyond as well.
Backstage at times but mostly up front where I should be.
I took in some fine, fine music, snapped a photo or two and edited the occasional festival newspaper but frankly much of the action has been here with Quinn Henry Barrett Budnick
Yup. Four names. I lost the coin flip on that one. What can I tell you at least that wasn't as dramatic a call as in Daniel Asa Rose's novel Flipping For It. As for Rose, now that I think about it, aside from the fact that his book is on point I wonder if perhaps I didn't invoke him because the very night I met my wife, the mother the aforepictured QHBB, fifteen years ago she picked drove up to a friend's house and I hopped into her car to attend a Rose reading. That friend later was shooting photos for the Bonnaroo Beacon.
Hey what can I tell you, 'When I see the connection, though I see I don't stare…'
Which of course brings us to Phish. In many respects it was due to Phish and in turn the Phish on-line community that Jambands.com is here today. Back in 1998 I tapped a number of people that I knew from the Phish.net to help start this site. Many of those people will be at Coventry, taking in the music and I hope writing a bit as well (we'll see..)
At any rate, I can account for my whereabouts in mid-August.
Before then I'll be out and about although once again much of the action will be here with Quinn and his sister Caroline…
Later days and peace,
P.S. Oh yes which is not to look past the quality content at the site this month. Poke around…

"I thought we were really solid defensively, except for the start of the third quarter. We just came out very flat," Adelman said after the 95-76 win lifted the Timberwolves to 4-2 in pre-season play.
"They missed a lot of shots in the first half but we didn't allow them any second shots. It was a good win for us."
Chase Budinger had 21 points off the bench, Derrick Williams added 18 and Nikola Pekovic had 14 for Minnesota. Jose Barea chipped in with seven assists.
Rodney Stuckey had 21 points for Detroit (3-4), which got 11 points from both Greg Monroe and Kyle Singler.
The Timberwolves jumped to a 27-10 lead in the first quarter thanks to strong shooting from Williams (13 points) and Pekovic (10 points).
"We were challenging shots. We got a lot of points in the paint," Adelman said. "I thought we played a really solid first half, the guys who started and the guys who came off the bench."
Rodney Stuckey had 21 points for Detroit (3-4), which got 11 points from both Greg Monroe and Kyle Singler.
With star power forward Kevin Love out at least six weeks with a broken hand, there have been questions about how Minnesota will cope.
Last season the Timberwolves struggled after guard Ricky Rubio went down with torn knee ligaments. There is still no timeline for his return.
But Williams sees things coming together as the team waits for Love to come back.
"It's tough without him but you've just got to deal with it," Williams said. "We've got other players that are going to step up, including myself and D.C. (Dante Cunningham), especially at the four spot.
"We've got a big job ahead of us for the next six weeks or so and I think we played pretty well tonight."
The Pistons struggled with shots that missed the mark in the first half but they showed more life at the start of the second and closed the gap to within five at one point.
But the Timberwolves came back to stretch their lead to 68-53 as the third quarter ended.
"In the last five minutes of the third quarter we opened the lead up again and that really made the difference," Adelman said.
Minnesota pulled away even further in the fourth quarter on the way to a comfortable pre-season win.
It was the second of two exhibition NBA games played in Canada outside of Toronto this month, with the first coming in Montreal.
Even with the NHL lockout keeping the Winnipeg Jets on the sidelines, the MTS Centre still sported a few vacant seats.
But with a little urging the fans who were there were loud supporters of the Timberwolves, who counted it as a home game.
"I didn't know there were that many Minnesota fans out here but it's good," Williams said. "It felt like a home game."

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures as a millennial fempreneur living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Hope you have a nice stay!
It's no secret ― social media is a powerful tool and can help you build your brand and get hired. It can also get you fired, but that's a story for another post.
I've used Twitter to get noticed on more than one occasion, in fact, it's the way I was able to appear as a guest on TODAY in 2011, without a publicist and without a reel.
How did I do that? Well, I tweeted, a lot. And no, I didn't tweet what I was having for lunch or a slew of selfies.
The TODAY show segment featured Victoria Reitano and three other college experts on tips and tricks for College Students. Reitano and UniversityChic.com offered up some products fashionistas shouldn't be without this semester.
Great Day Washington on CBS featured Victoria "Vix" Reitano and her best digital tips to help you monetize your twitter account.
