The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) provides Demand Response Transportation services for people who, because of their disability, are unable to safely and independently utilize PSTA buses. DART service is a form of public transportation which meets PSTA's obligations to provide door-to-door service which parallels or "complements" local bus service in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Passengers will be required to share a ride whenever possible, as is done on the regular bus system.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) makes it possible for people with disabilities to have better access to the community. PSTA's "functional" DART certification process will encourage people to use regular PSTA fixed-route service whenever possible. In this way, PSTA is ensuring that DART will only be used by those who truly need the service. A "functional" certification process determines if a person has the ability to use the regular bus. It does not make decisions based on the type of disability you have or a specific diagnosis by a physician. Rather, it determines if you are able to do such things as travel to a bus stop, board a bus, and navigate the fixed route system. In-person assessments are also utilized on an as-needed basis to facilitate determining eligibility. Eligibility for DART service is based on how a person's disability under ADA affects daily life activities which would prevent the use of accessible fixed-route service.
Category 1
Eligibility includes those persons who, because of their disability, cannot independently use a regular, accessible bus.Category 2
Eligibility pertains to situations in which a person cannot travel independently to or from a bus stop.
A client can also be given "conditional" eligibility for DART if they are able to use the regular bus under certain conditions, but not others. In this situation, eligibility for DART will be determined according to a particular set of circumstances or conditions, which pertain to a person's disability.
If you have a permanent or temporary disability and are unable to independently use the regular, wheelchair accessible PSTA buses, call PSTA at 727-540-1800 for a DART application form. These forms are also available at the PSTA facility located at 3201 Scherer Dr., St. Petersburg, FL 33716, and online by clicking here.
DART trips are provided wherever regular PSTA local bus service is available. Service area is subject to change. Service is not available outside Pinellas County. DART services are available during the same days and hours as the regular bus service for any given trip request.
The DART fare is $4.50 per one-way trip. No discounts are offered. Fare is to be paid to the driver when boarding the vehicle. Payment can be made in cash ($5 bill or smaller) or by using a DART ticket. Convenient single and 10-Ride DART tickets are available online or through our Tickets by Mail Program.) To purchase Online, please click here.
PSTA contracts with these companies to provide DART service. Please call them directly to make reservations.
Care Ride 727-536-7433
Or you can call PSTA and be routed to the DART provider.
Trip Reservations/Cancellation: 727-540-1960
PSTA welcomes any feedback about the program and the service you experience. If you have questions or concerns, please call 727-540-1888.
You may call up to one (1) month before your scheduled trip to make a reservation, but no later than 5:00 p.m. the day before your trip. Telephone operators are available to take reservations between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. In order to accommodate as many clients as possible, pick-up times will be negotiated up to one hour before or after the pick-up time requested by the client. Cancellations must be made at least two hours prior to a scheduled pick-up time, or the trip will be deemed a "no show." If a passenger is not at the door, ready to board a vehicle within five minutes of the scheduled pick-up time, the trip will be deemed a "no show." DART service may be discontinued if a client establishes a pattern of regular and repeated no-shows. These regulations are in place to help PSTA serve all DART clients efficiently.
Lift-equipped vehicles are available for DART clients who are unable to board an ambulatory vehicle, such as those who need to travel in a wheelchair. PSTA requires that the driver secure all wheelchairs while a passenger is transported in it.
In addition, PSTA and DART providers are ready to take relay and voice calls.
Written information is available in alternate formats, and assistance is available upon request. Accommodations in policies and procedures will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Please note: Emergency transportation service is not provided.
DART drivers' role is to provide safe, reliable, accessible transportation.
Driver assistance is provided to any DART passenger who requests it when boarding and leaving the vehicle, and to/from building entrances. It is the passenger's responsibility to:
Recurring or Subscription Trips can be made for trips which have the same origin, destination, times and days of the week, and will permit you to travel without having to make a reservation each time you take these trips. Recurring trips must be pre-approved and confirmed on a monthly basis and are subject to the same rules as non-recurring trips.
If you are not found eligible for PSTA's DART service at this time, a letter will be mailed to you explaining the reason and advising you of procedures to follow if you wish to appeal. If your condition changes in the future, you may re-apply for PSTA DART service.
Whether or not you are found eligible for DART, you are encouraged to contact the DART/Mobility Office about other transportation options, many of which are described elsewhere on this website: Free Travel Training on PSTA's accessible bus service, low-cost Transportation Disadvantaged services, East Lake Shuttle door-to-door service, Connector and Direct Connect service to your address.

While AT&T might attempt to persuade Apple to renew the exclusivity deal, it's up to question whether Apple would be better served if they did so.

The Backlash Against the Backlash Against Irony
The backlash against the backlash against irony has begun, and just in time. Deriding irony is now a reflex not just among the serious, such as Jedediah Purdy, the author of For Common Things, but among the ironic as well. Take Infinite Jest author David Foster Wallace, who has called irony the source of "a great despair and stasis in U.S. culture." Or former Spin editor and wit-about-town Michael Hirschorn, who, agreeing with Purdy in a Slate "Dialogue," deemed irony "a comfortable perch from which we can be unserious about the environment, not to mention labor unions, third-world malnutrition, ethnic conflict, wage disparities, corporate malfeasance." When master ironists feel the need to disparage, non-ironically, the very instinct that animates them, you know that we've all traveled too far down the path toward neurotic self-negation.
Hence Culturebox's relief at the first glimmers of a countertrend--three articles and one movie defending irony in the past three weeks. The first piece was an unsigned Dec. 18 editorial in the Economist, endorsing the opinion of an essayist from the British Foreign Office who considers irony a necessary virtue in a post-colonial world: It "suggests a certain modesty about oneself, one's values, and one's aspirations. At least irony is unlikely to be used to justify programmes of conquest or extermination." The second article was by critic and novelist David Gates in Newsweek, claiming in somewhat overblown newsweekly fashion that irony and ironic juxtapositions are "an inevitable response to the human condition. The original ironic juxtaposition, after all, is the spirit plunked down into the material world." The third was Slate's own Chatterbox, who argues for irony on the charmingly loopy ground that it is a fin de siècle condition, and that one corrective for the fin de siècle condition is, historically, the election of non-ironic presidents, whose ranks might include not just Al Gore and Bill Bradley but also the frightening Gary Bauer, Orrin Hatch, and Alan Keyes.
What unites all of these articles is a certain earnestness: Their authors are not joking (well, Chatterbox sort of is). Irony, they say, is good--good for foreign policy, good for the soul, even good for the presidency. Which brings us to Man on the Moon, a movie celebrating comedian Andy Kaufman, whose performances were ironic in the deepest sense. Sweet, gentle, and never sarcastic, Kaufman was a kind of holy fool. He refused to wink at the audience so as to let them know that his nonsense was a put-on. Wrestling irate women? Bashing the South, in the South? Being an inept and unfunny foreigner with no business on stage? Kaufman refused to reassure you that any of it was a joke. The movie has no such qualms, however. It is a conventional celebrity biopic, lionizing its subject at every possible turn, and congratulating itself for its insight. It winks nonstop. See? the movie says, See how great Andy was? See how stupid everyone else was, because they didn't get it? See how smart we are, who do get it?
Man on the Moon is so insufferable it made Culturebox wonder whether the entire effort to defend irony nonironically, welcome though it is, is somehow doomed to fail. Does the very effort to defend irony to those impervious to its charms require you to trick it up as something it is not? After all, irony is not for anything. It has no higher purpose. It is a perspective on the world, one that takes advantage of distance and some weirdly skewed point of view to see everyday things--pomposity, convention, higher purposes, and the earnest advancement of points like this one--as ridiculous or sad or just somehow other than what they usually seem. It's a lens that is morally neutral, deployed for evil as easily as for good. (There are philosophers who argue that the ironic sensibility is morally preferable, because it makes you aware of limitations, but Culturebox would argue that what they really mean by irony is the tragic vision of the world, not a particular trick of speech or performance.)
Andy Kaufman would have been horrified by the implication that he was better than the people who failed to understand him, if only because that would have made him so easy to skewer. The people on whose behalf David Gates is pleading--Quentin Tarantino, Lorrie Moore, Beck--would not be happy to know that their particular slant on life expresses the universal human condition. The Economist gets a little closer to the heart of the matter when its editorialist writes, "Many people, when hearing an ironic remark, may not realize that it is meant in jest. ... those who realize that an ironic remark has been made are instantly complicit, and they can enjoy the fact that there are others who have missed the joke." In other words, irony is how the superior--presumably of class, certainly of intellect--get together and exclude the idiots. It's funny, and it's fun, and Culturebox, for one, couldn't live without it. But it's neither virtuous nor defensible.

In the second lesson from Brandons Sandersons 2014 class he takes on the important factor of conflict. With plot, character and environment you can make a story feel real. Without conflict you get nowhere. He goes through plot, character and environment and how they affect conflict.
"Conflict is what holds everything together"
Story is when a character want something but can't get it. That's also conflict.
What is it about. Some genres have loose formulas. Others are more open but you have to have an idea of what you want.
Character need to have two of three traits. Sympathetic, want to protag and competent. A sympathetic character usually have something happen to them (Bilbo Baggins) or they do something nice to make them likable. Wanting to protag means that the character wants to confront the dark lord (Harry Potter) or at least actively go after their goal. A competent character knows what they are doing (James Bond).
Example: 2 of 3 means that a character can be competent and sympathetic but don't want to protag.
What are different from our world. Is there magic? Are the gender roles reversed? Something should be different.
You should tie in plot, character and setting in the beginning as hooks for the reader. What's special about each one. At minimum 1 of each but character should have 2.

Reporters for this newspaper recently fired the starting gun for another exciting round of regulatory competition, when they showed that miscreant mortgage servicers will pay out far more to "consultants"—for searching mortgage files to find defective foreclosures—than they are slated to pay to supposed victims of such foreclosures. (How can anyone be a victim, when he got to live for three years in a nicer house, paying little or nothing and very likely getting cash off the top?)
This round of the competition was a sprint, won handily by the Fed with its inspired response of "No Comment." What that lacks in originality, it more than makes up for in aptness of thought.
The loser was the OCC, which said it didn't care how much the servicers had to pay the consultants. (We're told this will total many hundreds of millions or maybe a billion dollars.) Their answer shows remarkable lack of common sense and public relations savvy. Still, give it points for sincerity.
The simple mind might suspect that these "consultants" are paid prodigiously to wink and nod, but numbers prove the contrary. No surviving bank could be stupid enough to pay big fees to avoid arbitrarily small restitution payouts.
No, the most important implication, which should again be spotlighted, is that the typical mortgage application or servicing file is lengthy, complex, non-standard and larded with pot holes and speed bumps that invite skepticism and further inquiry.
Without such density of detail, how could you get any new or modified loan's annual loss expectation down to 0.2%, typical of prime mortgages? The only assurance of quality when mortgages are sold is risk retention by the originator—which is exactly what the industry detests and is most determined to avoid, even at a 5% level.
We've now seen the worst in bad mortgages. But although mortgage-related fines, settlements and legal costs sound huge, few if any institutions were bankrupted or lost a substantial fraction of their value as punishment for unsound mortgage production or servicing. Our departed brethren, including Countrywide, New Century and GMAC, sank because ultimately they sucked in bad mortgages faster than they could sell them. Not because a court or a regulator held their feet to the fire for their frauds.
Nevertheless we are insistently told that originators and securitizers won't give us another golden flood of private securitizations until they receive protection against potential legal liabilities, while avoiding retention of credit risk. At least for mortgages that they can claim attain specified debt-to-income and/or loan-to-value measures. Thus, the New Age QM's and QRM's.
Presumably, support for this counterintuitive and counter-to-experience proposition is magnetized by the widely shared desire for more mortgage production. But investors will lap up this new paper without needing government guarantees and government-supported purchases.
After all, it was the private market, not the GSEs, that specialized in junk mortgages that could never pass as QM's. It was the supposedly high-quality "conforming" mortgages, similar to those that would in future be QM's and QRM's, that went to or through the GSEs – causing additional massive losses. The private market couldn't compete with subsidized GSEs for these safer but still high-risk mortgages.
So, why deprive consumers or investors of basic protections against hawkers of fraudulent but allegedly high-quality mortgages? Without subsidized GSE competition, such mortgages could obviously be securitized. Legal liability would only be a very minor cost, in part because of the inefficiency and unpredictability of our court system, resulting in long-delayed settlements at 10% of claims value.
Fleeing risk retention, seeking legal immunity for frauds, originators turn their backs on a more substantial threat: the disparate impact doctrine, strongly promoted by Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray, among others. This doctrine says that if a lender rejects or proposes less advantageous terms to a higher percentage of some protected group (African-Americans, women, Hispanics) than of unprotected applicants, it's assumed to be guilty of discrimination even if lacking intent to discriminate—as in the recent Luther Burbank case. But, protected minorities have lower income than other people. More of the lower-income people will inevitably be declined or get worse terms.
Every mortgage lender will consequently expose itself to disparate impact. Lenders have seen an opportunity to gain legal and regulatory advantage from widespread support for more mortgage production and homebuilding with less taxpayer exposure to losses.
Maybe instead of foolishly trying to exploit this support to gain impunity for more fraud, they should aim their lobbying effort on attacking the odious and unfair disparate impact doctrine.

Kitchen Care
Often the finish on your kitchen cabinets deteriorates because you do not know how to properly care for them. Here are some easy steps you can take that will ensure that you enjoy the look of your cabinets for years to come.
Standard Wood Finish
To clean a dirty spot on your cabinets, simply clean it with a damp cloth and some dish soap. Follow up with another clean damp cloth and then dry. Also, a light waxing every now and again would be very helpful. Avoid using detergents, oily polishes and surface or glass cleaner.
Use a clean damp cloth and water to clean your laminate cabinets. Do not use abrasive cleaning pads and cleaners on stains. Instead, clean stained areas with a tile cleaner and a clean cloth.
High-Gloss Finish
Use dish soap and a clean damp cloth to clean your high-gloss cabinets. Never use a wax cleaner, as that will cause discoloration.

During the first weeks of school, I shared my "All About Me" bag with our class. One of the things that I shared was that one of my favorite places is Hawaii. The students became very interested in Hawaii and throughout the school year I have shared many experiences with them.
One of the experiences that I shared during Writer's Workshop was about hiking on Mount Kilauea – one of the world's most active volcanoes. This volcano is located on the Big Island of Hawaii and has been erupting continuously since 1983.
This week during our D.E.A.R. time, one of the students was reading a new Science reader that had just been delivered from Scholastic. The student was eagerly reading the new book about Volcanoes and then excitedly said "I just made a text-to-world connection!" He excitedly showed me that he was reading all about Mount Kilauea and that he was connecting what he had already learned from my experience and relating it to the real world facts found in his book! It is so exciting to see all of the students in our class so excited about Reading!

The St. George Academy Girls Chorus performed at the St. Georges parish 100th anniversary banquet.
St. George Schools thrive as parish marks centennial
By Andrew Stasiw
With St. George Ukrainian Catholic Church on E. Seventh St. recently celebrating its parishs centennial, the church and its schools continue to prosper within the ethnically diverse East Village. Situated across the street from the historic McSorleys Old Ale House, St. George Ukrainian Catholic Church and Schools (the schools are adjacent to the church on E. Sixth St.) have a dynamic story a story of a people escaping political turmoil in Eastern Europe and of survival and growth in a new land.
Various waves of immigrants from Ukraine have flourished in the East Village over the course of the last 110 years, seeking a better life for themselves while building institutions to assist future immigrants and their families.
St. Georges parish was founded in 1905. In 1911 St. George Ukrainian Catholic Church in existence on E. 20th St. since 1895 decided to purchase a building on E. Seventh St. from a small Methodist congregation. It was converted to the Byzantine rite and survived until 1977 when demolition made way for the present church building. Since 1978, the new church has stood proudly on the corner of Seventh St. and Taras Shevchenko Pl.
Currently, the church consists of Americans of Ukrainian descent and new Ukrainian immigrants, with a congregation of more than 1,500 families. Yet the churchs pride is and always has been the St. George Ukrainian Catholic Schools. Escaping Stalins persecution in the former Soviet Union and the death and destruction of Nazi Germany, the wave of Ukrainian immigrants settling in the East Village in the late 1930s decided to make the program of evening classes offered at the church since 1895 into a regular daytime elementary and high school. Thus in 1940, the grade school started, with the high school opening up a few years later. By 1955, the St. George Schools enrollment stood at 845 students and was the seventh-largest private parochial school in Manhattan out of a total of 82 private parochial schools.
Today, the schools offer a quality private parochial education from prekindergarten through grade 12. Both schools are accredited.
The academys current principal, Peter Shyshka, said, We provide a safe, warm and studious environment for our students to prosper within. From elementary school through high school, St. Georges entire academic program is focused on preparing young students to pursue higher education, succeed in college and later in life. We are committed to academic excellence, with special concern for our students religious education and moral development.
Shyshka has been an East Villager all his life and is himself a graduate of St. George Elementary School. After working as a principal in other New York City parochial schools for many years, he was elated to return to his alma mater as the academys principal.
The elementary schools principal, Sister Theodosia Lukiw, said, We have a very good school here, one rooted in sound academic foundations and a moral focus on the Christian tradition of selfless service to others. With these basic guidelines, we are able to attract high-caliber students who are motivated to succeed.
New immigrant students from various regions of Eastern Europe take advantage of the schools English-as-a-Second-Language program. Many of the teachers are fluent in both Ukrainian and English. Instruction in secular subjects is taught in English and there is daily instruction in Ukrainian and religion.
The symbiotic relationship between the church, schools and the Ukrainian diaspora is always flourishing. Recent visits to the schools have included Victor Yuschenko, Ukraines president, and world heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klichko.
Though half the student body is either new immigrant Ukrainians or Americans of Ukrainian decent, the school attracts students of diverse ethnic backgrounds.
Both schools have recently refurbished their libraries and added two computer labs with Internet access. Tuition rates are maintained at affordable levels with annual deficits covered by the church.
The New York Self Reliance Federal Credit Union, a Ukrainian financial institution located on Second Ave. between Sixth and Seventh Sts., is the churchs and schools biggest supporter. Members of the credit unions governing board and employees send their children to the school and help at fundraisers.
During the Christmas holidays, academy students spent several days during their break singing carols at local homes and businesses, raising thousands of dollars for the school.
For decades the church has sponsored an annual outdoor street festival on Seventh St., featuring spirited music and Ukrainian folk dancing, while local businesses set up vendor booths and sponsor ads in the churchs program booklet. This years festival is scheduled for May 19-21.

I'm so glad there was sunshine yesterday. I needed there to be sun instead of snow or rain on this Easter.
We closed on a house last week. We're not sure about our decision to buy now that it's done. The house has good bones, but it's been ridden hard. Smoke for 31 years has permeated the walls. The carpet has been ripped out and wallpaper stripped. Hopefully, paint, clean air ducts, and smoke fogger bombs will do the trick to remove the foul smell. Fingers crossed!
The Easter bunny found the new house before we even moved in and left eggs full of candy and money! That bunny is pretty clever!

My new favorite thing
Snowshoeing to just the right spot and making a small fire in the woods eating chowder warmed on a little jet burner with the only man I have ever loved. The wine spritzer was pretty good too.

A cold, Saturday evening
"We're not in Kansas (Texas) any more Toto." The weather here is just as unpredictable, and the forecast changes by the hour. The only difference is that the temperatures drop so much colder here. The move has been an adjustment. Some good and some not so much. I miss my family and friends like crazy. I miss my church and familiarness of my grocery store and the security of knowing I could always find someone to help in a pinch. But, I've enjoyed meeting our neighbors and the newness of a season. I've enjoyed wearing a coat in the winter time and seeing snow, making a snowman, and having a fire crackling in the fireplace. I loved fall and the gorgeous colors displayed on the trees. I adore the rivers and the falls nearby. The water speaks to my soul.
February is hard. It's such a reminder of the loss we have suffered. The February in Ohio is a sure reflection of how my heart feels...bitter cold to the core, empty, barren of life. Then there are days of sunshine and warmth, reminders that spring is on its way. They seem like sort of a tease when we are hit with the cold and snow again.
I know God gave us seasons because He put such a desire in us for change. I look forward to each season. This is a season of Lent. A time of reflection of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. A time to be so thankful for His sacrifice in order to provide us eternal life. I hope Easter is beautiful here. I hope the sun is shining, the grass is green, and the flowers are blooming. It's such a beautiful reflection of what the resurrection is...hope.
I guess today I'm a little tired and gloomy. The sin of the world is overwhelming at times. The weight of the hate and destruction is too much to bear. Sickness, death, devastation, and darkness seem to cover the light. I look forward to Jesus' return...to the day there are no more tears, there's no more sadness, and no more hate. Until that day, shine Lord Jesus, please shine Your light into the darkness.

First Sunday of Advent
Today was a beautiful day in Northeast Ohio. I should have been outside soaking up the sun, but after church and warming up some leftovers for lunch, I changed into something comfy and plopped down on the couch with my laptop to continue the search for a house. I'm trying to stay positive and believe God will lead us to the right one, but sometimes I get discouraged. There's just not anything available right now in our price range. Bummer.
I enjoyed the rest today. No hustle and bustle. I have done most of my shopping online. I ordered something for the youngest in our family today while I was online. I love that someone brings stuff to my door and saves me the madness of going out in the shopping jungle!
I did make dinner and clean the kitchen this evening, so I'm not feeling completely unproductive.
I enjoyed the church service so much this morning. Today we celebrate Jesus being the light of the world. A family from the church read scripture and lit the first advent candle. It felt so peaceful. We also took communion because it was the first Sunday of the month. It was such a time of reflection and awareness of my need of the Savior of the world...Emmanuel, God with us.
I'm praying for peace and healing in the coming year. For now though, I'm focusing on the one who provides the peace and healing, Jesus.

There's not much that calms my spirit like sitting by a fire. The fire pit is my favorite...especially with good friends or getting to know new friends with a yummy drink or marshmallows! Now that we live in a much colder climate, I'm enjoying the fireplace. It's a chilly morning, but the fire in the fireplace is warming my bones and my heart.
I hope as you prepare for Thanksgiving you feel God's peace in your spirit and discover new things for which you are thankful. I'm thankful this year that our precious friends drove up from Texas to spend Thanksgiving with us. My heart is full.

Christy's Confessions
Here goes...
1. I might be addicted to sour cream and onion potato chips. I think I could probably down an entire family size bag by.my.self., thank you very much. No, they don't fit in with my otherwise healthy diet, but I love them. I'm not particular about the brand. Just bring 'em to Mama!
2. I might also be addicted to Tessamae's Creamy Ranch salad dressing. Y'all, it is SO good. Just like with any Ranch dressing, it goes well with everything, except this one IS good for you! (well, maybe not the whole bottle in one sitting) It's Whole 30 approved, dairy-free, gluten-free, and all the things. It's not vegan-friendly...sorry vegan friends. I used to buy it at Target and Kroger when I lived in Southeast Texas, but now that I'm in Northeast Ohio (holy cow! I'm still not used to saying that) I buy it at Giant Eagle and Walmart. I wish Aldi carried it because that's where I've been shopping lately. Anyone with an Aldi connection? Let's make that happen, pretty please?
3. Most mornings I get up at 5:30 and go walking with my neighbor. BOOM!! We are basically walking rock stars! Today, I had a teacher conference at 7:10 (isn't that kind of early for a meeting where you have to think clearly) and had to cancel on my friend. Guess what? She went without me! I'm so proud...and jealous that I'm not as awesome!
4. I might have completely forgotten about packing Cora's lunch today. Like, I totally didn't even think about it until I was making my lunch at 1:09 p.m. Gah! (It was that 7:10 a.m. meeting that threw me for a loop!) I hope the sweet cafeteria people took care of her. I'll make them something special.
5. I start a new job tomorrow. Cora's over the moon because I'll be at her school every day. I guess this one isn't really a confession or a bragging point. I'll be in touch with which way it goes. Hopefully, I'll knock it out of the park!
Happy Monday!
I'll leave you with something pretty from my Instagram story yesterday evening...
|I love the marina in the fall.
|Gorgeous sunset for fishing.
|Good night, Sunday.
Friday, October 20, 2017
I still can't believe our family moved to Ohio over the summer for Kelvin's new job opportunity with Lubrizol at the corporate office. It was just last year we were settling into our new house on Landon Lane and loving our pool and shop and land and neighbors. Who knew we would be all the way across the country in less than a year?! Crazy times. We are enjoying our new surroundings. The weather is gorgeous for now.
|I can't believe the colors!
|Y'all, this is a real pumpkin patch! Like the pumpkins are actually growing on the vine!
I'm a little anxious about the winter, having never lived in snow or cold. We will embrace it as much as we can...skiing, snowboarding, sledding, fires, hot toddies, sleigh rides and more! I'll need to go shopping too. We just don't have the appropriate clothes for this climate.
The move hasn't come without adjustments. We all left everything and everyone we knew and loved, but I think it has been good. The kids are making new friends and so are we. We love our neighbors. Everyone has been so kind and accommodating. We're in a rental for now and hope to buy in the same charming neighborhood. It's like Mayberry! There's a beach, the lake, trails, green space, and lots of community activities! I love it. The kids love it too. Luke has been fishing and caught quite a whopper!
Stay tuned as I share our new adventures!

Ford Nucleon Concept
The Ford Nucleon was a scale model concept car developed by Ford Motor Company in 1958 as a design on how a nuclear-powered car might look. The design did not include an internal-combustion engine, rather, the vehicle was to be powered by a small nuclear reactor in the rear of the vehicle, based on the assumption that this would one day be possible based on shrinking sizes. The car was to use a steam engine powered by uranium fission similar to how nuclear submarines work.
The mock-up of the car can be viewed at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

glisten: somethin' like th' real thang
Bilal - "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore"
D'Angelo - "She's Always In My Hair"
Here's a match up of two of my favorite things: Prince and cover songs. Unlike the estimable (and venerable, at least by OUR standards) copy, right?, th' Hut hasn't ever dropped a cover themed post, but I'm a sucker for a well-intentioned redux. These tracks are hardly reimaginings of the originals; in many ways, they're deeply true to form. What makes these songs noteworthy is their personality and the way that they bring out the performing artist's natural talent; they're excellent showcases. And did I mention they're by Prince?
'She's Always In My Hair' and 'How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore' are a pair of somewhat obscure flip sides to Prince singles (to 'Paisley Park' and '1999' respectively) that have gathered a real following amongst fans. Rightfully so; in many ways, they're amongst his most passionate and impressive singles and (the bane of the Prince apologist) he never even gave them due respect or any sort of real release. In this sense, they join other classics from Prince's beautiful bastard children, most notably the immortal 'Erotic City', which was only given a proper album release over a DECADE after showing up as a B-side for 'Let's Go Crazy'.
'How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore' had a fair revival a few years back when it was tapped as a springboard single for Alicia Keys. That version lacks any subtlety and, worse yet, replaces the original's muted anguish with a noisy, overwhelming aural avalanche; it's the equivalent of performing 'Ave Maria' with an electric guitar and a kickline. On the other hand, Bilal Oliver's take on 'How Come' feels like it's on a choke chain; Bilal's just on the edge of breaking down from note one. When he finally does let the pain wash over him, it is brief and dramatic and forces him into an uncomfortable voice and space then trails out into nothing. As a cover, it's memorable and informs the original considerably.
D'Angelo's riff on 'She's Always in My Hair' doesn't so much alter as it AMPLIFIES it. Prince's original is a winding, Hendrix-esque opportunity for him to splay out and show off his balladeering and excellent guitar chops; D opts instead to sing most of the song in a nasal sneer , as if he's yet to forgive the girl for leaving his memory. There's a lot of barely suppressed anger in there, but it's the soul that makes you stick around.
D'Angelo and Bilal both released simply amazing albums at the start of the century and both have hit sad fallow streaks since. There seems to be a sort of curse surrounding the nu-soul movement that flourished at the end of the nineties and start of the naughties; D'Angelo, Bilal, Badu, Maxwell, Jaguar Wright, Amel Larrieux, Saadiq, Lauryn, Angie Stone and Jill Scott have never quite caught on with the public at large in the way that they've deserved to. Whether this is indicative of the points that Mark Anthony Neal brings up in his extensive Rhythm and Bullshit essay at Popmatters (which I haven't read quite well enough to yet defend or refute), is due to the nature of the music industry and its audience, has something to do with the motivation that would make people sing the blues in the first place or is just a winding series of coincidences, I just don't know. I _DO_ hope that the root itself isn't poisoned; this particular collection has the potential to drastically alter not only r+b, but the very nature of pop music itself if they could just mobilize and overcome some initial hardships..
I got my fingers crossed.
Buy the Scream 2 Soundtrack with 'She's Always In My Hair' and...uh... well, not much else really. Assuming you don't have Let Love In by Nick Cave, there IS a copy of 'Red Right Hand' on board. Between those two, you'd be hard pressed to not pay four bucks, right? Right?
Okay, maybe not. Let's say you've got a slightly larger budget and some love for Diamond D. Why not buy D'Angelo: Live at the Jazz Cafe from Amazon? D is a jewel in concert; I've not yet been fortunate enough to see him live, but this disc has been a treasured glimpse into that hallowed hall.
Bilal's 'U Don't Call Me' is a B-side from his 'Fast Lane' single, now out of print. May I STRONGLY recommend that you indulge yourself with a copy of his astonishing debut album, 1st Born Second (via Amazon)?
Word has it that Bilal is in the studio getting the game together for a new release; New Yorkers can catch a concert, June 23rd at S.O.B.'s or, better yet, free at Prospect Park on July 1st; he's really something special live.
Prince's originals for both of these tracks are available on the amazing B-Sides compilation disc in the three album collection The Hits and the B Sides. The B-Sides are NOT available as a single disc, so you may have to pony up (via Amazon) for the whole sh'bang? It looks nice on your shelf.
Longtime Hut fans will recall that I posted a week of Prince rarities over a year ago, with dozens of links and thousands of words about the man. Go back and see how I used to post back before I had to work for a living:
read and recognize purple obsession.
Read D'Angelo's famously outdated official site.
The video and audio on Bilal's official page is missing; you can listen, read and watch Bilal Oliver music at his label's site.

School Counselors: Providing Road Maps to Success
Counselors don't just work with people who are experiencing problems. They help young people with normal developmental tasks like choosing a career and putting together an academic and vocational road map.
Part of the task of a School Counselor is conducting assessments and evaluations. The school counselor asks where an individual's strengths lay, and in what setting that individual is most likely to be successful. Part of the task is disseminating information. School Counselors develop programs and facilitate workshops. Still another part of the task, especially at the secondary level, is that of advocate. School Counselors know that just because no one in the student's family has ever been to college, it doesn't mean she or he can't!
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has predicted 19% growth in jobs for School Counselors over the course of the 2010 to 2020 decade. The greatest job growth -- 34% -- should be at colleges and universities. Rehabilitation services should see 30% increase in demand for career counselors; an increasing number of professionals in the field do work primarily with individuals with disabilities. Schools, meanwhile, will see more modest 8% growth. There will always be school children... and a new generation of hopes and dreams.
There is more than one pathway into the field. Begin by thinking about your target population.

Becoming a School Counselor
If you plan to work with teenagers in a public school setting, you will eventually need licensing through your state's department of education. If you want to work entirely in this setting, you might opt for a master's in school counseling. Your program may be K-12, but you'll have opportunities to tailor it to the secondary level. The most important thing is that you put in your internship hours in an appropriate setting.
You might also opt for a professional counseling program that has a school counseling focus. Programs that have a combined focus are generally 60 semester hours or more.
Many states require a licensing exam. This could be the Praxis, NTE, or a state exam. You'll want to be familiar with your state board from the very beginning. You can help yourself stay current all along the way by becoming a member of the American School Counselor Association.
Are you more interested in working in a university setting or a social service one? In some settings, you may not need a license. That doesn't mean your career won't be enhanced by having one. If you enroll in a CACREP-accredited school counseling program, you may be eligible for licensing as a professional counselor. (The requirements do, however, vary from state to state.) CACREP-accredited career counseling programs are at least 48 semester hours.
Think you may want to go into private practice? In this case, you will likely be licensed by your state's professional counseling board. You'll want to make sure the program meets curricular guidelines and will qualify you to sit for the licensing exam.
There are options to combine school and mental health counseling. You may want to do a search on the CACREP site.
Pursuing Licenses and Certifications
After graduation, you'll pursue any required licenses and any additional credentials that will increase your employment options. Many states require the National Counselor Examination for credentialing as a Licensed Professional Counselor.
The National Board for Certified Counselors offers the National Certified School Counselor credential. You must also hold the National Certified Counselor credential, but you can apply for both simultaneously provided you meet all requirements.
If you're going for state licensure as a professional counselor, you'll need to work under supervision, generally for at least two years. If you're only pursuing a school counseling license, you probably won't need to do this.
