Taylor to stay on -- for now
By Phyllis Moore
Published in News on May 26, 2013 1:50 AM
Dr. Steven Taylor
Dr. Steven Taylor, superintendent for Wayne County Public Schools, will not retire July 1 as originally announced.
He said Friday he will postpone his retirement for an undetermined amount of time.
Assistant superintendent for accountability and student services, Dr. Craig McFadden, who was slated to retire the same day, is also staying.
Taylor became superintendent in 2000, at age 42.
He had announced his retirement before a gathering of staff and school board members on April 19. A few days later, McFadden followed suit. Their last day was set for June 30.
Taylor said the change of plans boils down to the amount of work still to be done and the continuation of his relationships in the school district.
"Wayne County Public Schools is in the process of implementing the next phase of its facilities plan and facing education reform in the state and national levels," he said. "Many of the board members felt very strongly that a continuity of leadership was needed and shared concerns with me about navigating the process of a superintendent's search during the time of transition.
"Dr. McFadden and I welcome the opportunity to continue serving in our roles and appreciate the support given as we move forward."
McFadden, who has a 38-year career in education, had said that while the decision to retire was made individually, he and Taylor have seemingly worked in tandem over the years. He said that it had become a tradition of sorts for the two men to compare notes about possible retirement dates.
Having worked with nine superintendents in the span of his career, McFadden joked at the time that he had no intention of breaking in a 10th boss.
Taylor said Friday he was pleased that the assistant superintendent had agreed to continue.
No target date has been set for either of them to depart, but Taylor mentioned that part of the reason for postponing retirement was that the board had expressed concern over having enough advance notice to allow time to do a more thorough search.
The search for a replacement had already begun, school board chairman John Grantham said. The job opening had been promptly posted on the school system's website, with a May 31 deadline for applications to be sent electronically to Jack Edwards, attorney for the district.
Grantham said earlier in the week that there had been a good response from applicants, with resumes being turned over to the board for consideration.
The latest announcement renders further action moot.
"Obviously we're not going to be searching right now because he's decided not to retire. It would be a bad time for us right now to be searching with everything we have going on, new testing and accountability requirements," Grantham said, adding, "We would need Dr. McFadden's expertise."
Grantham, who was on the original school board when Taylor was hired, said he is pleased with the turn of events.
"I look forward to working with Dr. Taylor on implementing the facilities plan and the other initiatives," he said. "Dr. McFadden's expertise and understanding of testing and the new accountability models will also be invaluable for the district and the board in the coming year."
Taylor noted that the change of plans does not require additional action.
"I submitted my letter to the board chairman, but the board has not taken any formal action to accept the letter of retirement," he said.
He said he had notified the state of his initial retirement plans, but that process could be interrupted by a simple phone call.
Grantham agreed.
"The search is over. He's decided not to retire. He didn't resign. He was going to retire and then decided not to retire," he said. "The board doesn't have to accept a retirement. This doesn't require board action."
There is an element of relief attached to the turn of events, the men said. Now the board will not have to sift through applications or weigh other options, such as naming an interim or making a quick decision within a few weeks.
Board member Rick Pridgen said he is "elated" that Taylor had decided to stay put.
"I knew Dr. Taylor had his years (in) and was thinking about the possibility of retiring," he said Friday afternoon. "But with everything going on with the Common Core and testing, I definitely want him and Dr. McFadden here for the transition."
Pridgen said members of the board had expressed similar sentiments to both men, in hopes they might consider at least staying on temporarily.
"I think enough of us just got together and told (Taylor) how we felt," he said. "And I'm glad. It gives us more time. Several of us have mentioned if (he) wants to stay on, but give us a little more notice to give us the proper time to do a search.
"I was elated that he would consider staying. I don't know how long he will stay on, but I hope he will stay on at least to finish out his contract."
Taylor's current contract has two years left on it, while McFadden's contract runs for another year.
Pridgen said the board was prepared to go through the application process, but for now that appears to be unnecessary.
Board member Eddie Radford said that is probably a good thing for the district, considering the climate.
"In my research, I discovered 25 possible openings for superintendents in the state of North Carolina right now," he said Friday evening. "Our candidates would be extremely limited. I think we would certainly like to have a broad base of whoever we choose."
Radford agreed with Pridgen's assessment.
"We're fixing to go through some tough times with this new Common Core curriculum," he said. "Dr. Taylor started this facilities plan and we're trying to do the best to get that done. I think if he stays, we can stay ahead of the game with that."
Taylor, a Wayne County native and 1976 graduate of Charles B. Aycock High School, began his career in 1980 as a driver's education teacher with Tarboro City Schools.
He earned his doctorate in curriculum and instruction from Michigan State University in 1984, becoming director of transportation with WCPS one year later. During his time with the district, he has been a principal, assistant superintendent, personnel assistant and director of personnel services.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR - AL.com
Write-in Campaign Won't Work to Elect a Republican Presidential Candidate
I want to set the record straight regarding the recent AL.com article titled "Martha Roby's Donald Trump fallout: GOP group pulls speaking invite, challenger starts write-in campaign." In both the title and the article itself, it was stated that I launched a write-in campaign to challenge Martha Roby. The fact is, I did not start the write-in campaign; it was started by frustrated District 2 voters without my knowledge.
Had the reporter contacted me, I would have been happy to give the facts regarding my involvement in the matter. I have officially terminated my campaign with the Federal Election Commission. However, I am honored that some people are considering voting for me by write-in as a protest to Roby's rejection of the Republican nominee, Donald Trump. Write-in campaigns are legal and can be successful in some states for Congress, Senate and local offices. Alabama is one of those states. However, for the presidential race, a write-in campaign for a Republican as Roby is advocating will not work due to the difference in election law from state to state.
The fact that people in this District are so upset that they began this write-in campaign speaks volumes about the degree of frustration they feel over Roby's lack of representation. I share their frustration. By pulling her support for Donald Trump, she is, in effect, supporting Hillary and the current administration's agenda. The danger is that many people may ignorantly follow her lead and cast a write-in vote that will not be counted, or in states where it is counted, simply take away votes from the Republican ticket which would result in a benefit to Hillary. In this race that is so close, that could make the difference between winning or losing.
Although I do not agree with many of Donald Trump's statements, the bigger issue is, he IS the candidate who says he will support the Republican party's conservative values. He will protect our constitution and appoint conservatives to the Supreme Court. He will work to reduce the national debt and bring jobs back to the US. He will be strong on national security. If you are a conservative - Donald Trump is your only choice if you want to ELECT A PRESIDENT and not just make a protest statement.
People are fed up with voting for candidates who don't follow through on their promises. They're infuriated with politics as usual. It's no wonder that this is not a "usual" election cycle. I believe we will see a record number of write-in votes this November. However, a write-in win is next to impossible due to the millions of advertising dollars the establishment candidates have at their disposal. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
"Dump Trump" Anger Sparks Write-in Campaign
The sudden "Dump Trump" movement last week has many people up in arms. Voters where I live, in Alabama's 2nd district, are FURIOUS that Rep. Martha Roby was one of the first to "Dump Trump." They are so mad, in fact, that they've burned up her phone lines and have mounted a write-in campaign for her primary challenger. Yes, that would be me, Becky Gerritson. I challenged her in the 2016 Republican Primary.
I understand the frustration of voters who are fed up with politics as usual. Donald Trump represents hope for those individuals, and they are not about to give up that hope. Candidates like Trump, Cruz, and Carson were welcomed by disenfranchised Republicans because they pledged to break the cycle of the political elites and big-money lobbyists from controlling our politics.
I do respect, yet disagree with, those who have been consistent in their opposition to Trump, such as Senators Ben Sasse and Mike Lee, and even commentator Erick Erickson. But in the recent "Dump Trump" movement, a correlation is apparent... follow the money! The list of prominent names recently dumping Trump could be titled "The Chamber's Bought and Paid for RINOs."
In this campaign cycle the pseudo-conservative U.S. Chamber of Commerce is one of our nation's biggest supporters and financial backers of amnesty. I personally went up against the U.S. Chamber in my own primary in which they spent nearly $2 million promoting liberal, Martha Roby. As you can imagine, such an amount allowed them to utterly control the airwaves for their establishment candidate - particularly in our rural Alabama district. No other conservative faced such a massive obstacle in their primaries - although the more limited spend by the Chamber is partially to blame for the toppling of conservative Tim Huelskamp.
Many on the list of GOPers who have disavowed Trump reads eerily similar to the list of candidates the U.S. Chamber Supports. Here are a few examples:
· Joe Heck- NV (beneficiary of $3,550,374 as of latest reports)
· Rob Portman-OH ($4,606,324)
· Kelly Ayotte-NH ($1,910,300)
· Mark Kirk-IL ($550,150)
· John McCain-AZ ($1,550,450)
· Martha Roby-AL (my primary opponent - $1,750,000)
· Pat Toomey-PA ($5,106,000 - has refused to say whether he will vote for Trump)
· Ron Johnson-WI ($750,300 - has been tepid in his support)
It seems clear that the Chamber is using its massive war-chest to compel opposition to Trump from within the party. And over the last week we have seen that it's working. Martha Roby and other "Dump Trumpers" are listening to their biggest campaign contributors rather than their constituents.
The current President's administration has taken our country down a path toward socialism, unsustainable debt and unprecedented threats to our national security. A vote for Hillary is a vote to continue Obama's fundamental transformation of America.
In this crucial election cycle, we must defeat Hillary Clinton. We must support the Republican nominee and the party platform that upholds conservative values. Trump pledged to nominate conservatives for the Supreme Court. He understands business and what it will take to get our economy back on track. And most important, he is not afraid to challenge politics as usual.
Despite calls for Presidential write-in candidates, like Rep. Roby proposes, the reality of state election laws make a Presidential write-in an impossible scenario for a Republican win. So conservatives, keep your eyes on the prize. Take a deep breath, pray, and vote!

Maybe Treasure Valley McDonald's franchise owners know that the film Hot Coffee is playing at Boise's Egyptian Theatre Thursday night, but, then again, maybe not.
Local owners announced today that they're giving away small cups of their premium roast coffee for free through March 5, one to a customer and no purchase necessary.
In what may be the biggest irony of the week, the Hot Coffee documentary about the infamous lawsuit in which an elderly woman successfully sued McDonald's over severe burns from hot coffee, will be shown for free Thursday night.
BW recently previewed the film (BW, News, Feb. 15, "Some Don't Like It Hot"), which examines the McDonald's hot coffee incident and the many myths that have brewed since the landmark 1994 ruling.
"I think when people come into the theater, they probably think the McDonald's case was a pretty ridiculous, frivolous lawsuit," said film director Susan Saladoff. "And then they see the photographs. It's almost as if a switch is flipped in people's brains. And when it switches, it becomes, 'Oh my, how did I not know this? How did I get this so wrong?'"
The free screening is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 23, at 7:30 p.m. at the Egyptian.

Whooo eee January was a big spend month for me, so this is gonna be LONG.
It seems to be the combination of "omg I have money" from Christmas, the general "arghh" of christmas time making me depressed and in need of retail therapy and the fact that lots of new stuff hits stores and older stuff is clearanced around new year.
So... what DID I buy this month?
I'll be honest, I went overboard. I got a lot of cash for christmas for various family members who didn't want to think about actual gifts, and that's fine because it meant I could order myself a few things I was putting off because they were expensive ehehehe.
So, first things i ordered were of course the Monster High mermaids. I had managed to earn £20 in vouchers for Argos but because i'm cursed, a few days later argos dropped the price anyway. -_-
oh well.
You can see them in my previous review.

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 5, 2008
Personal injury attorney Mark E. Seitelman announces a major website re-design, aimed specifically toward potential clients, with improved navigability, clear graphics and Plain English.
Seitelman's site also establishes a new blog, "Being Prepared", which will highlight a wealth of interesting and educational information, geared specifically toward individuals attempting to assess the legal worthiness of their cases. Seitelman will report on relevant cases, rulings, his own firm's challenges and successes. Though blogging is of course the standard in many industries, it's been slower to catch on in the legal arena, so the Seitelman blog is of particular interest and is already attracting a wide variety of readers.
Seitelman, who works on contingency, is known throughout the legal community for caring, respectful, personal attention to clients, as they navigate the legal hurdles involved in obtaining compensation for injury or loss from accident, malpractice or insurance standoffs. With more than 7,000 successfully resolved cases behind them, the experienced and sympathetic Seitelman attorneys and other staff, many of whom are multi-lingual, pride themselves on accessibility to clients, moving cases along as quickly as appropriate, and prudent expenditures.
Seitelman's reputation for excellence and proven track record of high recoveries resulted in his designation, since 2006, as a "Super Lawyer" in "New York "Super Lawyers". He is rated "Preeminent", the highest rating, by Martindale-Hubbell, the nation's leading directory of lawyers, and has a lifetime membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, which is limited to attorneys with recoveries in excess of $1,000,000 (http://www.milliondollaradvocates.com).

|Employment Bill
Norman Lamb: The problem of delaying for so long is that my point has long since been lost. I wanted to suggest to the hon. Gentleman that the principle of transferring a burden from the state to employers worked with a vengeance during the years of Conservative Government—for example, responsibility for statutory sick pay had been a burden on the Government, but was transferred to employers with a massive cost burden. In a small firm employing perhaps 10 people, the occasions on which it will have to administer payment for paternity leave will not be frequent—perhaps once every one or two years one person will take two weeks' paternity leave. Should we not be pragmatic and say that the cost on the small firm of administering that one employee's paternity leave will not be great? The burden must fall somewhere and, given that the cost of paternity leave will fall generally on taxpayers, it is surely not too much to expect a small firm to bear the cost of administering the paternity leave of one employee. If the Conservatives intend fully to embrace the concept of paternity leave, surely it makes sense to follow the same principles applying to maternity leave during the short two-week period of paid paternity leave.
Mr. Hammond: I do not want to argue with the hon. Gentleman. The trend has continued for some time and I detect roots planted before 1 May 1997, but the Government have accelerated the trend and are doing so further in the Bill. If my memory is correct, the previous Conservative Administration reduced employers' national insurance contributions to compensate for the cost burden of statutory sick pay.
Norman Lamb: Not fully.
Mr. Hammond: That may be so. I agree that it would be impracticable to think in terms of a Ł2.34 weekly administration payment for each person on statutory sick pay. I am asking the Minister about the principle that the overall cost of administering such schemes—or, if the Government wanted to be more generous, the estimated saving to the Government of not having to administer the scheme directly, which would be a much higher figure—should be recognised as a credit to employers. That could be done through a national insurance contribution credit for small employers—a straight percentage reduction in employers' rate of national insurance contributions. I am addressing the principle, and it offends me—it
Column Number: 369offends all employers—that the Government seem to believe that it is legitimate to transfer burdens successively and in an accelerating pattern from the state to employers, transferring that administrative cost without any form of recognition at all. It just will not do for the Minister to say, ''We don't pay people for doing their tax returns so why should we pay employers for carrying out administrative work on behalf of the Government?'' I do not think that that is a reasonable position for him to take.
I have focused my remarks on the administrative cost element. It does not appear to me self-evident that large employers should meet 8 per cent. of the cost of statutory pay together with the full national insurance contribution. That could total a fairly significant figure, and we are not talking only about paternity pay, but about other areas as well. I think that that leads to a more general debate about where the benefits of part 1 of the Bill will be felt and how the burdens should be shared. I hope that we will be able to have that debate later today, although in view of the timetable that has been imposed, we shall have to speed up our consideration of the Bill to have that opportunity—[Interruption.] The Government Whip is chuntering from the Front Bench. I did not catch the exact import of his remarks, although I suspect that I can guess their general drift.
11 am
Rob Marris (Wolverhampton, South-West): The hon. Gentleman addresses the administrative burdens on business, as did the hon. Member for Hertford and Stortford. There are always trade-offs in society. There are administrative costs, and the hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge mentioned those for small employers. However, many businesses recite the mantra that people are their most important asset. There are significant education costs for a labour force, which are rising steeply under this Government. Those are met wholly by the state. It is, disproportionately, small employers who fail to train their staff adequately or at all.
The hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge referred to the trend of those in work receiving benefits. I note the Opposition's U-turn on House of Lords reform. Do I now detect an implied U-turn on the minimum wage and that the hon. Gentleman is asking for a higher minimum wage instead of benefits? Conversely, perhaps he will say what benefits he thinks ought to be cut for those in work who are receiving a lot more benefits under a Labour Government.
The hon. Gentleman mentioned the balance of the Bill's benefits. It contains benefits for employers, as well as for society, over paternity leave and adoption leave. Again, is the hon. Gentleman now performing a U-turn against the U-turn of the Opposition on the working time directive and paid holidays for employees, which benefit employers as well as society?
Mr. Hammond: The hon. Gentleman is not intervening but launching a very interesting and wholly new debate. I would be delighted to have it with him, but I suspect that you would not encourage me to do that right now, Mr. Benton.
Column Number: 370
Mr. Prisk: Does my hon. Friend agree that it is a shame that the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, South-West (Rob Marris) has chosen to launch an attack on all small businesses in terms of education and training? He said that small businesses—he did not say ''some'' small businesses—are the ones that fail to train. I think that that is regrettable. Many small businesses are extremely good and at the forefront of training.
Rob Marris: On a point of order, Mr. Benton. I used the word ''disproportionately''.
The Chairman: That is not a point of order.
Mr. Hammond: I thank my hon. Friend for his intervention. I think that the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, South-West did say ''disproportionately'', but he did not say ''some''. I think that he applied his remarks to all small business, although I am sure that on reflection he would not want to suggest that all small businesses disproportionately under-perform in training.
Rob Marris: I did not mean to imply in any way that all small businesses fail to train, which is why I used the word ''disproportionately.''
Mr. Hammond: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for clarifying that matter.
This is an extremely interesting area. The hon. Gentleman has tried to put his comments to me in the form of a series of man-traps, asking whether I would acknowledge wanting to do a U-turn on the minimum wage and the working time directive.
Rob Marris: Answer.
Mr. Hammond: The answer is that the world is not as simple as the hon. Gentleman would like to make it, but I will give him my personal view. It is questionable whether we are heading in the right direction in creating a society where we have relatively high taxes and high percentages of people in work or on pensions who must have some form of means-tested benefits to live properly. We should not aspire to having 50 per cent. of people in work drawing benefits, but to create a modern and dynamic economy that delivers a labour market in which employers can earn good profits so that employees, exploiting the tightness of the labour market, can earn good wages that enable them to live comfortably without needing in-work benefits. That is my picture of the ideal society that I would like to live in. I am sure that, on reflection, every member of the Committee would have the same aspiration, but I fear that progress down the route of in-work benefits might not encourage us—
The Chairman: Order. I do not wish to intervene unnecessarily, but it would be serve a greater purpose if we got back to amendment No. 129.
Mr. Hammond: You are absolutely right, Mr. Benton. I apologise for having been tempted by the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, South-West down that course. Perhaps in the Smoking Room at 10.30 one evening we might more appropriately pursue that interesting debate, but I shall seek to withdraw the amendment.
Mr. Ian Pearson (Dudley, South): Oh yes.
Column Number: 371
Mr. Hammond: I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Mr. Hammond: I beg to move amendment No. 127, in page 8, line 13, leave out from 'at' to end of line 15 and insert
(a) a weekly rate equivalent to 90% of the person's average weekly earnings; and
(b) a weekly rate of Statutory Paternity Pay to be prescribed in regulations.'.
The Chairman: With this we may take the following amendments:
No. 147, in page 8, line 45 at end insert—
(a) were made to him or for his benefit as an employed earner, or
(b) are (in accordance with regulations) to be treated as made to him or for his benefit as a self-employed earner,
during the specified period.'.
No. 138, in page 11, line 11, leave out 'normal' and insert 'average'.
Mr. Hammond: The Government Whip said yes with some enthusiasm the question that the last amendment be withdrawn, Mr. Benton. It was indeed the hon. Member for Dudley, North—
Mr. Pearson: South.
Mr. Hammond: I beg the hon. Gentleman's pardon. I am sure that that is much the better side of town.
I thought that the hon. Member for Dudley, South (Mr. Pearson) employed a slightly crowing tone of voice in his final remarks to the Committee before Christmas, when he observed that, notwithstanding Opposition Members' objections to the timetable motion, we had reached the guillotine point just before the Committee rose for the Christmas recess. I make it abundantly clear to the hon. Gentleman that that was no coincidence, but the result of incredible self-discipline and some self-sacrifice on the part of the Opposition, and especially my hon. Friends, whom the hon. Member for Doncaster, North (Mr. Hughes) rather unfairly chastised last Thursday for not having played a larger part in the debate. I know that they would like to have made much greater contributions to this debate, but I have had to ask them to exercise restraint in the light of the extraordinarily tight programme motion that the Government have imposed on the Committee's deliberations.

Not long ago, I attended a panel discussion aimed at engaging high school juniors and their parents in the college application process.
To jump-start the program, the moderator asked a question: How many parents had attended Ivy League or other top-tier private colleges? A few hands popped up. Then he asked how many had attended good old State U. That covered the majority of the audience.
Then to the entire group he asked for a show of hands from those who felt happy and successful in life. I don't recall seeing any hands drop.
The point: Highly selective colleges don't have greater chances of producing successful, productive and happy graduates than any other large or small school.
I thought about that simple, unscientific survey after scanning a far more comprehensive poll released earlier this month from the Gallup organization and Purdue University.
Titled "Great Jobs, Great Lives," the poll was based on interviews this spring with about 30,000 college graduates in all 50 states. And guess what? It came to essentially the same conclusion as the moderator I listened to in the high school auditorium.
"Where graduates went to college — public or private, small or large, very selective or not selective — hardly matters at all to their current well-being and their work lives in comparison to their experiences in college," the Gallup poll concluded.
According to the research, of greater and longer-lasting importance was taking a class from an inspiring and nurturing professor, landing an internship or job that made textbook material relatable, being involved in extracurricular activities and organizations, and working on projects that took a semester or more to complete.
In other words, the survey noted, it's not where you go, it's how and what you do when you get there.
It may be age-old advice, but that's the takeaway to share with any high school student who may be thinking this summer about college applications, practice essays and campus visits.
Gallup and Purdue researchers created an index that examined the long-term success of college graduates as they pursued a good job and a better life. The index didn't measure salary and job placements — the traditional way of keeping score. Rather it focused on workplace engagement — whether college graduates enjoyed what they did day in and day out at work and were intellectually and emotionally connected to their organization and career.
The poll found that just 39 percent of the college graduates surveyed felt "engaged" and "productive" at work. Eleven percent were said to be "thriving" in five aspects of their lives, such as financial stability and having a strong social network of friends and family.
These groups went to a variety of public and private colleges and universities, though mostly larger schools. There was also no difference in "employee engagement" by race or ethnicity, and as many graduates from the schools ranked in the top 100 by U.S. News & World Report acknowledged being engaged in their work as graduates from other institutions.
However, those who attended for-profit schools were less likely to be engaged or excelling in work.
The survey also noted that many of today's college graduates who are burdened with debt can expect to be paying for their education for a long time.
And they make keep paying in many other ways. For example, the survey noted, high student loan debt may be inhibiting entrepreneurial activity.

Examines the contemporary discourse on happiness through the lens of governmentality theory. Recent decades have seen an explosion of interest in the phenomenon of happiness, as evidenced by self-help books, talk shows, spiritual mentoring, business management, and relationship counseling. At the center of this development is the expanding influence of apositive psychology, a which places the concern with happiness in a new position of professional respectability, while opening it to institutional applications. In settings as diverse as college education, business, military training, family, and financial planning, happiness has appeared as the object of a new technology of emotional self-optimization. As such, happiness has come to define a new mentality of self-governmentaor a agovernmentalitya as the concept is developed in the work of Michel Foucaultaone that Sam Binkley demonstrates is aligned closely with economic neoliberalism. Happiness as Enterprise blends theoretical argumentation and empirical description in an engaging and accessible analysis that brings governmentality theory into contact with sociological theories of practice and temporality, particularly in the work of Pierre Bourdieu. This book invites readers not only to consider the new discourse on happiness for its relation to contemporary formations of power, but to rethink many of the assumptions of governmentality theory in a manner sensitive to the mundane practices and everyday agencies of government, and the unique and specific temporalities these practices imply.An Essay on Neoliberal Life Sam Binkley ... In short, happiness is a resource with unlimited organizational value, a link between the present and the future, and is therefore worth ... And on the self-help shelves, dozens of titles brandishing the scien- tific credentials of the new psychology strive to set themselves apart fromanbsp;...

Margaret Gardiner
Margaret Gardiner's current work is porcelain, thrown on the wheel and slab built for both domestic use and visual enjoyment. She is concentrating on finely thrown bowls, large centrepiece dishes, all sizes of jugs, and, of course, a wide range of drinking vessels.
Margaret loves textures: lace, peacock feathers, shells and shiny things and the process of evolving these into her ceramics. She recognizes that she has 3 main influences: Victorian architecture, Greek pots and the sea. She particularly wants to emulate the joy she feels when snorkelling: she delights in the colours and patterns of coral and sea creatures. Margaret notices patterns wherever she goes and she travels whenever possible.
Once she has designed the forms, she uses them as a palette for textural patterns and then chooses how to place them in the kiln for emphasis. She finds the random element at this stage very exciting and the results a constant motivator.

This time period keeps coming up more and more, I am convinced there will be much turmoil which may include; the collapse of the dollar, the collapse of the US and possibly the world economy, Israel attaching Iran (NUKES? World War III?), possible food riots (especially in Tier one cities or metropolitan areas) and of course the fake Swine flu pandemic and forced inoculation and forced FEMA camp interment for those of us who reject the depopulation vaccines. Those of us who are awake (Patriots or Truth Seekers) know what is to come.
The rest of you Sheeple just keep watching your TV's and your sports programs, your TV will tell you what to do and what to think, good luck living in your Perceived Reality.

Germany boss Joachim Löw is spoiled for choice as he contemplates his side to face Portugal in Saturday's Euro 2012 clash. The formation will be the standard 4–2–3–1, but who will be the lone striker? Will it be Miroslav Klose, who is just five short of Gerd Müller's record 68 goals for his country, or could it be FCB man Mario Gomez, who has eight goals in his last ten internationals?
"I have a good feeling. This time, it's more difficult for the coach than ever before," said Gomez on the eve of the Group B clash. Speaking to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the 26-year-old said he was confident of starting against Portugal. "I know the papers have been saying for a long time that the decision's been taken and it'll be Miro," Gomez said, "but it's not that clear cut in my opinion – and not for the coach either, or so he told me. That gives me hope."
The Munich man is in upbeat spirits ahead of the tournament, and is more than happy to duke it out with his former FCB team-mate Klose, who will be 34 on Saturday. "I'm in great shape, I'm physically top fit and I'm giving it everything in training, just as I've been doing for the last two years," continued Gomez, scorer of 80 goals for Bayern over the last two seasons.
Fair and sporting rivalry
The rivalry between the two top strikers has been entirely fair and purely on a sporting basis, Mario emphasised. "Both of us are far too human to let a problem arise from sporting rivalry," he said, "I'm neither a robot nor a rat. I know how it works in sport and I have a realistic assessment of myself. And Miro is just as much of a sportsman as I am, so he'll do whatever he can to claim the place."
"He's always delivered at tournaments," Gomez acknowledged, "and knowing a player does well at tournaments is a useful fixed point for a coach." Former Munich forward Klose, who joined Rome giants Lazio at the start of last season, has made 116 international appearances in the last 11 years, and lies second only to Brazil's Ronaldo in the all-time World Cup finals scoring chart with 14 goals.
"Both of them play to a very high standard," Löw told kicker magazine prior to the tournament, "and I've yet to take a decision about who'll play centre forward in the first group match." In fact, the Germany coach declined to rule out fielding both players at the same time: "Two strikers could be our plan B."

This month's Game of the Month, Kingsburg, is a beautifully illustrated dice roller, designed by Andrea Chiarvesio and Luca Iennaco and published domestically by Fantasy Flight games.
Kingsburg was first published in 2007 and is essentially a worker placement game with a medieval theme that's driven by a dice rolling mechanic. It plays 2 to 5 players and should take an hour and a half, but can run longer if you have five players or if people agonize over their dice placement. It is recommended for players ages 10 and older. Kingsburg retails for $49.95 at your local game store, but you should be able to find it for $40 or less from an online retailer.
In Kingsburg, players are nobles who are sent from the king to develop the outer regions of the kingdom, using resources to create structures that will both enhance the region's prestige and to protect the area from hostile armies. The game takes place over a series of five years (turns) that is broken up into seasons (phases). The main part of a season is the allocation of dice to a variety of court advisers that can provide the player with valuable resources, soldiers, victory points, and information about the invading army that attacks at the end of each year in the winter.
There is an expansion set that was released in 2009 called Kingsburg: To Forge a Realm. The expansion includes five modules that can be added in to the the base game. I have only played with three of the expansions, so part of my goal this month is get in a play or two with the remaining two expansion modules. Kingsburg: To Forge a Realm retails for $29.95 but again, you can find it online for less than that. Remember, it is an expansion to the base game and cannot be played alone.
The point of the Game of the Month feature is not to necessarily to review a game, but to rather explore a game by repeated play over a particular month. I'm not going to choose a game for GotM if I don't already like it. Kingsburg is a good game. What I want to do is spend some time thinking about strategies or suggestions for play.
If you want to participate in the discussion, here are some things I want you to consider as you play Kingsburg this month.
- When is this the right game to bring out?
- How long does it really take?
- Is there a sweet spot with the number of players?
- Can it be played solo?
- Is there an essential strategy?
- If you are using the expansions, what modules are the best?
- What are some important building and advisor combos?
If you have some thoughts you would like to share, email me at email@example.com, or just make your comments directly on this post. I will put everything together in a post at the end of the month.
Disclaimer: I have recieved no review copies of this game. I have included links to funagain.com, an online retailer that I support by including affiliate links to games. If you purchase something from Funagain, and include my affiliate code, P2RX, then I get a few pennies of store credit so I can buy more games.

The importance of a master plan
The zoo's 20-year plan lays out a bold new direction for animal care and visitor experiences.
The Oregon Zoo is in an amazing position. Once in a generation, a zoo is entrusted with the confidence of its community, the funds to carry out significant improvements and an exciting new vision and direction. Taking full advantage of this opportunity, the zoo is making changes that will not only improve the welfare of the animals in its charge but influence how zoo animals are managed around the world. At a moment and opportunity like this, it makes sense to create a great plan.
What is a master plan?
A master plan is a vision of the future zoo that guides its development and evolution over time. It starts with a complete understanding of its site and surroundings. Then it conveys the future in photographs, drawings and maps.
A master plan also narrates the story of the zoo's plans for the future. It describes the zoo's vision and goals, the purpose and intent for each facility, and includes a budget, sequence and timeline of construction projects that will bring the future vision to reality. This representation of the zoo's future is an essential tool to coordinate the development of the zoo's separate facilities into a coherent, effective and unique institution with a clear and recognizable theme and mission.
The Oregon Zoo's animal keepers, conservation educators, event organizers and zoo directors developed the master plan working with an experienced team of architects, engineers, exhibit designers, interpreters and project managers led by SRG Partnership, Inc. of Portland and CLR Design of Philidelphia. The team provided professional guidance, broad experience and deep understanding of the latest trends in zoo design as well as knowledge of the newest water and energy conservation tools and technologies.
The master plan was completed over summer 2011 and approved by the Metro Council Nov. 3.
What's in the master plan?
Imagine the main street of a small town. That's where you shop, dine, meet friends and relax. The zoo has a Main Street. Fifty years ago, when it was called the Washington Park Zoo, the entire zoo consisted of this relatively level area between Tiger Plaza and the former Elephant Museum, now Elephant Lands. Today, this same area forms the central core of the Oregon Zoo. Over time as exhibits have been added and changed, the zoo has expanded up the hill to Cascade Crest and down the hill to Predators of the Serengeti.
Despite changes over time, Zoo Main Street remains the center of the zoo and is being emphasized and featured so that visitors can more easily find their way to surrounding habitats. Because bond funds are covering replacement or renovation of the zoo's oldest exhibits located along Main Street – elephants, primates and polar bears – the zoo has taken advantage of the opportunity to redesign and enhance Main Street.
Each of these habitats will remain in its current location but with an expanded footprint. Nearly completed Elephant Lands now encircles the entire eastern edge of the zoo, occupying four times the space of the former exhibit while providing the elephants with much more stimulating activities, challenging terrain, sand substrate and a variety of water features. These habitat improvements are already changing the animals' behavior and improving their health. Learn more about the new elephant habitat.
Polar bears will remain in the same general location. Already the train has been relocated so that it no longer runs over the top of their home. Their habitat will double in size and include hills, beaches and grand views of the zoo. The polar bear habitat will be completed in 2019. Learn more about the polar bear habitat.
Zoo staff can't wait to expand and improve habitat for apes and monkeys. In the master plan, chimps and mandrills will roam much larger habitats oriented to the south, tying these two African species to the other Africa exhibits. Some of these improvements are funded by the current bond. Some will require a future funding source to complete. The zoo hopes to breed chimps, gradually increasing their numbers to build an expanding family colony. Orangutans, gibbons and other Asian primates will be thematically linked with elephants and other Asian species. Learn more about the new primate habitat.
Hippos will find a new home in another zoo and the rhino habitat will expand to include the hippo's current space, with a planned completion date of 2020. Eventually, when additional funding is secured, they will share an expanded Africa savanna habitat with several other species. Learn more about the new rhino habitat.
The condor habitat is the only brand new exhibit to be constructed with the current bond funds. They now reside in the Family Farm area in a sunny spot where they regularly display their 10-foot wingspans. Learn more about the new condor habitat.
The conservation education center is now under construction. Located at the former zoo entrance across from Amur tigers, it will provide easy street access for parents and school buses dropping off excited campers and for adults attending evening activities and lectures. The new center will include classrooms, workshop and office space for zoo teen programs and a large adaptable meeting space. It will welcome zoo visitors to a Nature Exploration Station, backyard habitat garden, woodland play area, restrooms and café. Learn about the new conservation education center.
What is being conserved?
The master plan determined the location and footprint of each habitat and facility and helped zoo staff determine feasibility of rainwater capture, heat exchanges and solar collection. Specifics of each of these new systems are each defined in greater detail in designs and construction drawings developed for each facility. Every exhibit and building is making the most efficient use and reuse of water, energy and waste products. Learn more about the zoo's sustainability improvements.

With every pain-free landing Greg Oden makes on the hardwood, the Heat is inching that much closer to realizing a rotation it believes will give it the best chance of winning another NBA championship.
On Thursday, Oden turned in his most productive effort since being cleared to play, and afterward Heat teammate LeBron James celebrated another brief glimpse of the grand plan coming into focus. Oden played 11 minutes against the Lakers and had five rebounds, including four on the offensive end. The time on the court and the number of rebounds represented statistical highs for Oden since his return on Jan. 15.
The minutes are great and the rebounds are encouraging, but it's Oden landing without pain on offense and then transitioning smoothly to defense that is the most positive sign of his rehabilitation, according to James.
"The great thing I love seeing is when he jumps and he lands and he gets back on defense," James said. "Even the [possession] where the ball was saved under our basket near our bench and [Pau] Gasol ended up getting it.
"I saw [Oden] fly in and try to get that and continue to play. That is positive for him, for us as a team, for us as a franchise — to just see him continue to make these baby steps in coming back."
Considering Oden sat out for four years with knee injuries before joining the Heat, his small developments on the court in the past two weeks represent significant gains for his career and confidence. His strong performance against the Lakers was his first action in back-to-back games since his return.
His first week back, Oden alternated playing time in games with rest and was notably frustrated with his cameo in the Heat's victory over the Bobcats. He picked up three fouls in five minutes and was a step slow in defending Al Jefferson.
But the stamina is returning and so too is the energy. He was a little quicker against the Lakers.
"[Oden] got a shot block, went after some offensive rebounds, had a chance to get some tip dunks — you could see he's a little out of rhythm, but that's OK," James said. "He's very active."
The four offensive rebounds were the most significant contribution. After all, the Heat is ranked last in the NBA in that category. Oden averaged about a rebound every two minutes against Los Angeles and was in position for other boards.
"My timing is definitely off on my rebounds," Oden said. "Most of the time, I'm coming down and the rebound is going right over my head. [Thursday] was just very encouraging for me to get five rebounds."
Said coach Erik Spoelstra: "I loved it. What you're seeing is a little bit of mistiming from time off. But if you look at the glass half full, you see him being in the right spots. That's what you can't teach in this game. He's in the right spots. It's just a matter of time before those plays are made, and we don't have anyone else on our roster that can make those types of plays."
Oden added that the more he becomes familiar with the Heat's system, the easier the game will become. But for now the pain is manageable. That's the most important development of Oden's first two weeks back since 2009.
"I've still got a ways to go," Oden said. "I'm still not as quick as I want to be out there."
James was asked after the victory against the Lakers if he was concerned about Dwyane Wade missing four consecutive games because of knee soreness.
"Any time a guy misses multiple games in a row, you have some sense of concern," James said. "Having him on the floor makes us more dangerous. But at the end of the day, having him healthy makes us more dangerous, too."

Dr. Nick Ngwanyam one of the best Social Critic of our time, with no Presidential Ambition gave a recommendable speech on September 3 2016, on the occasion of the Joint CPDM Grand Section Conference, held in Mezam 1B, in the North West Region of Cameroon.
This speeh that was copied to the Top League players of the party, keeps calling my attention on how these Top people will digest this preaching.

3rd September 2016
Speech delivered by Dr. Nick Ngwanyam on the occasion of the Joint Grand Section Conference Mezam 1B.
Theme: Renewed Political Vitality towards a Ground Breaking Trust of the CPDM in Meza 1B.
|Dr. Nick Ngwanyam
Every living thing or system is characterized by growth. When this is absent, death sets in. If we keep on doing the same thing every day and keep on hoping for a good out-come, we will get challenging surprises.
To grow, we must come up with new ideas, new approaches and new strategies or we will eventually be stagnant.
Things that worked yesterday with the cultural, economic and social climate of yesterday would not work today as we are in the android season and our youths have no skills and no jobs with a weak industrial fabric.
Things that worked yesterday with the cultural, economic and social climate of yesterday would not work today as we are in the android season and our youths have no skills and no jobs with a weak industrial fabric.
We are in the internet season, the computer age and the youths who are in the majority have different problems, different dreams, aspirations and passions and they expect different outcomes for now and their tomorrow. They need to earn a living, they need security and they need to feel safe. They want to marry and raise families. We must be sensitive to their concerns.
Those of us who are here, militants at the base and the top bracket, men and women have our private agendas and expectations from the CPDM and the nation at large. We want money in our pockets, we want to sing a new song, we want our circumstances to change for the better. However, we fail to realize that we are the architects of our own outcomes, what we sow is what we reap.
The economics, the development trajectory for communities and persons, the social climate, the job orientations, the agriculture, industrial fabric and entertainment must change. Since we are what we think, our thinking patterns must change for the better.
It is imperative for our great party to follow this trend here in Bamenda, this Region and the whole nation. This is what the new
CPDM is all about; doing things differently with a different mindset so that we can get different results. It is about supporting everyone in the party to grow so that collectively we can grow, help the nation and also help our President H.E. Paul Biya.

We have brought our beloved country Cameroon this far; let us now all change for the better and do things with a spirit of excellence in the interest of common good and the 'Fear of God'.
Are you a farmer? Have you been putting manure and fertilizers to your crops? The Fear of God is the fertilizer of our lives and all of the human endeavors. No God, No growth. Did I hear you say that there is no God in Politics?
Why do we pray when we start our meetings? Are we not supposed to be good Christians and Muslims? Are there areas of our lives from which God is excluded? Is that why we tell so many lies and blackmail each other for positions and wealth? Is that why contractors and some people put in authority of the common good are so crafty and fail to deliver?
Greed and selfishness is what is killing all of us. We need a new mind set to be able to grow as a new party after the reorganization. We cannot reorganize and function with the old ways. You cannot put new wine in old wine skins.
In 1985, the CPDM was born in Bamenda. Today the 3rd of September, Bamenda and the North West still leads the nation in this new rebirth of the CPPDM which I have called the 'Born Again' CPDM. This so because of the new mind set of doing business which we shall sell to all the CPDM in the nation, our government and other parties who care to know what makes us grow.
We understand that the real support to H.E. President Paul Biya is not only the motion of support we shall send. Ask the President himself and he will tell you that he needs more than words and feelings from us. He wants our doing in excellence. This honors him, his vision and his name and grows the country and the party.
A couple of months ago, he got four volumes of motions of support and he will continue to get more. Yet the President is looking for something that we are not giving him. He is looking for something more precious from all of us that goes beyond lip service.
The people, the ministers and directors locked up in Kondengui are there because they deceived the President with motions of support. While he thought they were friends and that they were genuine, they were running down the nation and sowing seeds of social strife, poverty and depleting the state coffers.
They failed to do the jobs put at their disposal with the means available for the sake of or youths and the nation. They thought more of themselves than of common good. They lacked the spirit of excellence and love for mankind in their hearts. That is their crime.
When we fail to do the work that the President has given us, we are tarnishing him slowly. We are putting in place road blocks for the youth and the nation. We are killing the economy and everything else that depends on it.
There is some tar that is put in town now and it gives way in two weeks. That is how we collectively destroy the President and the nation and we blindfold him with party uniforms, a support march and a motion of support.
If we want to support the nation, the CPDM and President Paul Biya we must do the following things:
We must like work, like work that is well done in the spirit of excellence. We must be honest and exercise self-discipline. We must be on our knees in prayer of thanks giving to God as we seek His protection and guidance and we must respect mother earth (the environment). H.E. President Paul Biya of our great party showed this to us when he knelt down at the Cathedral in Yaounde in 2011 to thank God for our excellent victory in the presidential elections.
Do we know whom we worship and which spirit we pray to? How can we truly grow or make it in life if we do not respect the gift of life? How do we grow if we do not love others and our God unconditionally? We must be true to ourselves and to others. When we write petitions to Yaounde and backstab others for no good cause that hurts the party and the nation.
The spirit of truth and the practice of truth will free us for we are spirit and God, being spirit, we must relate with Him in Spirit and in Truth. We must watch our souls. We must tap into the infinite intelligence of God in our desire to gain understanding and guidance in our labors. Above all, God is principle and we must thus try to be principled in our lives, in the CPDM and in Cameroon. Putting God first would make the difference we are looking for.
Seeking to progress without this understanding, will bring us to our dooms day sooner than later. If we understand this and follow it, the CPDM will grow, will be stronger and would be in power for the next 400 years. God must be part of politics and every other thing we do whether we like it or not if we desire happiness and prosperity.
In the light of our new dispensation and understanding, we thus say no to blackmail, cheating, self-deceit and the stabbing of our brothers. Greed is the killer disease and love is the medicine.
Therefore, today, we have laid the ground work and a foundation for a new start, we have to set ourselves some goals.
We must improve on our agriculture and animal production. This will increase our economic power. Without economic growth, the party shall not grow as expected. We notice that chickens, eggs, plantains, watermelons still come to us from Bafoussam. This is an indication that our agriculture has failed. We need to grow rice and wheat, corn, beans and more.
We need to go into business. Putting money piled in the credit unions is not it. Please, come together put money and skills together and make meaningful investments that yield dividends. Come together and start businesses and cottage industries. Working together in love and trust is the secret. Sharing talents and being open and truthful in our endeavors will tilt the balance in our favor. Send your children to professional schools to help you and create jobs. We must correct the economics and output by improving on our production capacities and earning powers.
Let us think, work and strategize differently and the future of the CPDM shall be bright. Our individual outcomes shall be better and Cameroon shall grow in leaps and bounds because we are thinking differently and working positively in the light of Kingdom Principles.
Thanks for listening. God bless all of us.

It was like a page ripped out of her own life when Sarah Chalke guest-starred on "Grey's Anatomy." She portrayed Kasey, a mother desperate to find out what was wrong with her son. He had been falsley diagnosed, but Kasey felt certain she knew what was wrong. She just needed a doctor to listen.
The only one willing to do so was Meredith, and it was a good thing. "Parker has Kawasaki Disease," Meredith told Kasey. "You fought for your son. You didn't give up. You saved his life today." She was right.
Kawasaki disease is a rare disease that is hard to diagnose. It's also very personal for Chalke, as she faced a similar battle when her own son was three-years-old. She wanted to play this part to raise awareness of the disease. And she insisted that the symptoms of the disease be mentioned and shown to help any parents watching.
Buddy TV said that this episode was proof that parents known their kids better than anyone, so kudos to Meredith for listening.
Saving lives is just a party of the job on "Grey's Anatomy," Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

The Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah is built on the philosophy that reasonable regulations on firearms can lead to significant reductions in the occurrence of gun violence. We believe that the strength and stability of our society is not a product of gun ownership, but of our institutions, our Constitution and the commitment of our citizens to the rule of law.
A primary activity of the Gun Violence Prevention Center is to educate Utahns about the merits of such moderate gun-violence prevention measures as universal background checks, bans on the sale of military-style assault rifles, and limitations on the places where concealed weapons can be carried. To that end representatives of the Center carry on a variety of activities, including the submission of newspaper and magazine articles and letters to the editor, public speaking appearances and consultation with citizens, lawmakers and community leaders about policy issues directed towards reducing gun violence.
The Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah was founded in 2001 by a group of citizens who believe that we need to, and can, do far more to protect society from the misuse of guns. We also believe it is possible to accomplish this and still maintain the ability of citizens to own and possess firearms for legitimate recreational purposes.
The Center is the successor of Utahns Against Gun Violence ("UAGV") which was established in 1994 by Ron and Norma Molen, whose son was shot to death in a college dormitory.
The Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah is a non-profit, IRS 501(c)(3) organization.

How to clean your refrigerator

Thank You For Voting
Knowing how to clean your refrigerator keeps food and kitchen smelling freshThe refrigerator is perhaps the most important and used item in the kitchen. Therefore, it tends to become dirty. Having an ice box that is on the messy side can make both the food you store inside and your kitchen smell unpleasant. When you know how to clean your refrigerator, however, you can keep your home and your food fresh.
Daily Maintenance
When you think about it, your ice box is a prime place for spills, leaks and other messes to take place. You are probably constantly opening and closing the door, which can cause bottles and packages to shake around and leak.
Additionally, moving and replacing items on the shelves can cause accidents to occur. Spilled milk can create a foul smell, as can leaking meats. Additionally, such liquids can cause bacteria to form and contaminate other items in the icebox.
Taking care of these leaks and spills is essential as soon as they occur. Use an absorbent cloth to soak up the liquid, then spray the area with a non-toxic product that is safe to use around food to ensure the bacteria is removed. Wipe the cleaner with a new cloth or paper towel to prevent spreading germs.
Additionally, go through your ice box on a daily basis and remove any items that have expired or seem to be past their prime. Doing so can prevent additional leaks from taking place.
You can also potentially stop leaks from occurring by placing certain items in rimmed bowls or containers. For instance, keeping berries or defrosting meat in such a vessel may stop liquids from escaping onto your shelves.
Once a week, give the doors to your ice box some attention by wiping them down with a damp cloth and mild cleanser. Address the handles, as well. Bacteria and dirt are probably quite present on both surfaces, since they are touched the most. Keeping them spotless could prevent you and your family from spreading germs.
Inspect the fridge's coils once a week and take care of them, if needed. The coils tend to collect dust and hair. Your fridge may not run as efficiently as it could if the coils are covered. Use a coil brush to remove any debris you see.
The changing of the seasons is a good time to give your ice box a thorough scrub down. Choose a time when you are low on groceries, so that you won't have so much to remove from your fridge.
Start by unplugging your ice box or turning off its power at your fuse box. Remove its contents and place it in a safe place, or an alternative fridge, if you happen to have another plugged up in your home.
Take out the drawers and set them in your sink. Scrub them down with water and a mild detergent. Rinse off the soap and allow the drawers to air-dry.
Spray the shelves and door with a non-toxic cleaner, or use a mixture of 2 tbsp. of baking soda in a quart of hot water. Wipe the shelves and door down, then go back over the cleaned area with warm water. Use a cloth or paper towel to dry.
If food particles are stuck to the shelves, saturate them with the water and baking soda mixture. Allow it to sit for about ten minutes, or until it softens, then wipe it off. You may need to use a rough sponge or scraper to remove the contents.
Once your fridge is spotless, place the drawers back in, as well as the food items. Turn the power back on or plug it in. Your fridge should look great and smell even better.
Maintaining your ice box isn't a glamorous chore, but it is essential. Once you know how to clean your refrigerator, you'll never have a messy or smelly ice box again.
