Your relocation agent! Helping you find your new home throughout Middlesex County, Mass.
My home town! I was born and raised in Ashland, and my parents still live there. Be sure to ask me about John Stone's Public House. Speaking of local businesses, check out CPR Services, for whom I've taught CPR and First Aid for more than 20 years.
Here is some great information on Ashland, Mass. from Wikipedia.org.
Ashland is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. It is part of the MetroWest region. The population was 16,593 at the 2010 census.
The area now known as Ashland was settled in the early 18th century and inhabited prior to that by the Megunko Indians, to which Megunko Hill owes its name. Previously known as "Unionville," Ashland was incorporated in 1846, bearing the name of statesman Henry Clay's Kentucky estate. It is considerably younger than many of the surrounding towns, as Ashland's territory was taken in near-equal parts from the previously established towns of Hopkinton, Holliston, and Framingham.
The construction of the Boston & Worcester Railroad, later the Boston & Albany, in the 1830s was key to the early development of the town. Along with the Sudbury River, the Railroad helped to attract numerous mills to develop a bustling boot and shoe industry. However, by constructing three reservoirs along the river in 1878, the Boston Water Board inadvertently stymied further growth until the 20th century, most notably by halting the construction of the Dwight Printing Company's granite mills.
Business returned when Local inventor Henry E. Warren developed the Warren Synchronizing Timer in 1916, which made synchronous electric clocks possible by keeping alternating current flowing from power plants at a consistent sixty cycles per second. Warren founded Telechron, which, in partnership with General Electric, manufactured electric clocks in Ashland until 1979. A Warren Synchronizing Timer is on display at the Smithsonian's Museum of American History in Washington D.C., and the Ashland High School sports teams are coined "The Clockers."
For most of the 20th century, Ashland's population remained slow in growth, until the post-war boom beginning in the 1950s. During that period, Ashland grew from a far-removed rural town 22 miles (35 km) west of Boston to a primarily residential suburb by the 1980s. Overtime, many farms and open spaces have given way to housing, although some untouched land still remains, including the Ashland Town Forest, Ashland State Park, Warren Woods, and land comprising the beach and dam portions of Hopkinton State Park.
Two major routes, 135 and 126, pass through Ashland. Route 135 is dominated by older residential development of varying density and is also part of the route for the Boston Marathon, which began in Ashland on Pleasant Street until the start was moved to Hopkinton's Main Street in 1924. Route 126 has developed rapidly since the 1980s, as farms have given way to shopping centers and condominiums. A part of the draw of Ashland, and one that has been publicized in recent years, is its "ideal" location about halfway between the cities of Boston and Worcester. Travel is easy, with its own stop on the Framingham/Worcester Commuter Rail Line and nearby access to both I-90 and I-495. Ashland is considered part of MetroWest, which also consists of the towns of Framingham, Holliston, and Hopkinton.
Even though Ashland has left its humble roots as a rural area, it still retains the look and feel of a typical residential Boston-area New England town. Traditions like Ashland Day and small-town favorites like the ice cream shop Tasty Treat and breakfast joint Sunnyside Cafe maintain the feeling of a close-knit community. Ashland's longstanding rival for the Thanksgiving Day football game is Hopkinton, a rivalry with roots in the formation of the town and the resulting 1846 dispute concerning Ashland's fire engine "Megunko 1."
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 12.9 square miles (33 km2), of which, 12.4 square miles (32 km2) of it is land and 0.5 square miles (1.3 km2) of it (3.72%) is water.
Ashland is located in eastern Massachusetts, bordered by:
Ashland's climate is variable. Winters are typically cold, with frequent Nor'easters and occasional blizzards. Snowfall ranges widely from season to season, although the average is about 60 inches (150 cm). In the recent past, there has been as little as 14 inches (360 mm) of snow (in the 1988–89 winter season) to 148 inches (in 1995–96). The amount decreases dramatically eastward towards Boston because of the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. Snowfall amounts can also decrease rapidly south of Ashland. Low temperatures below zero are not uncommon in winter, and the lowest recent temperatures have been 17 below in January 1994 and 14 below in January 2011. Average January high temperatures are in the low 30s. Average January low temperatures are in the upper teens. Snow depth can reach two feet or more during the winter season. The winter of 2010-11 was notable for snow depths of nearly 40 inches during January and February. Nearly 60 inches of snowfall was recorded in Ashland in January 2011 alone. Spring temperatures can be mitigated by penetrating cold fronts originating from the Canadian Maritimes, known as "Backdoor Cold Fronts". Typically, high temperatures consistently above 70 degrees do not set in until late May. The last frost is usually in mid-May. Summers are generally comfortable, with periods of high humidity. Prolonged heat waves of three or more days with highs of 90 or above are uncommon but can occur. In July 2011 an unusually high temperature of 101 was reached. Average July high temperatures are in the low 80s and average lows are around 60. Severe summer weather is not as common as areas to the west in Central Massachusetts. However, on July 10, 1989, high winds occurred causing widespread tree damage through most of Ashland with several homes damaged. This storm was part of a complex of severe storms that spawned several EF0 and EF1 tornadoes in towns in some neighboring counties. Fall is pleasant with the first frost usually around October 1, and the peak of the fall foliage season averages around October 12. Ashland can expect a "white" Christmas slightly over 50 percent of the time.

At the 2000 census, there were 14,674 people, 5,720 households and 4,021 families residing in the town. The population density was 1,179.3 per square mile (455.4/km²). There were 5,794 housing units at an average density of 465.6 per square mile (179.8/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 91.88% White, 1.79% African American, 0.10% Native American, 2.47% Asian, 0.03% Pacific Islander, 1.67% from other races, and 2.06% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.92% of the population.
There were 5,720 households of which 35.5% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 59.2% were married couples living together, 8.1% had a female householder with no husband present, and 29.7% were non-families. 22.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 7.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.56 and the average family size was 3.04.
Age distribution was 25.3% under the age of 18, 5.0% from 18 to 24, 35.5% from 25 to 44, 24.5% from 45 to 64, and 9.8% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 37 years. For every 100 females there were 93.7 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 91.4 males.
The median household income was $68,392, and the median family income was $77,611. Males had a median income of $51,869 versus $38,226 for females. The per capita income for the town was $31,641. About 0.9% of families and 2.0% of the population were below the poverty line, including 2.2% of those under age 18 and 4.6% of those age 65 or over.
In 2005, the town completed the new high school and revised the division of grades. These changes include the 6th grade being moved to join the 7th and 8th grades in the former high school to form what is now Ashland Middle School and moving the 3rd grade from the Henry E. Warren Elementary School into the Mindess Elementary School to join the 4th and 5th grades. The 8th grade students have an annual five day field trip to Washington D.C. The 1st and 2nd grades are in the Henry E. Warren Elementary School and kindergarten is in the William Pittaway School. The graduating class of 2007 was the first class to complete a full year in the new highschool. In 2009, a new program at Ashland High School encouraged teachers to "bridge the gap between subjects like math and history to the art world and visually engage students with traditional subject matter." This allowed students to make a connection between the material they were learning in the classroom and the knowledge of the arts and culture.

Lewisville City Hall
Location of Lewisville in Denton County, Texas
Lewisville, Texas
|Coordinates: 33°2′18″N 97°0′22″W
Lewisville is a city in Denton County, Texas, United States. The 2000 United States Census placed the city's population at 77,737 and the 2010 Census placed it at 95,290, making it one of the fastest-growing city populations in the United States. It occupies 36.4 square miles (94 km2) of land and includes 6.07 square miles (15.7 km2) ofLewisville Lake.
Originally called Holford's Prairie, the origins of Lewisville date back to the early 1840s.The arrival of the town's first railroad in 1881 engendered its initial growth, and the expansion of the area's transportation infrastructure spurred further development in the early part of the 20th century. Lewisville incorporated in 1925, and when construction of Lewisville Lake was completed in the 1950s, the city began to expand rapidly.
Lewisville's consistently warm climate and proximity to Lewisville Lake has made it a recreational hub of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The city's municipal government, led by a nonpartisan city council, focuses its recreational and cultural investments on facilities such as Toyota of Lewisville Park and the MCL Grand Theater. The area's transportation infrastructure has evolved around the I-35 Corridor along Interstate 35E. The diversity of its population and industry has created a stable economic climate. Lewisville Independent School District provides most of the area's public education programs.
The Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theater, known informally as the MCL Grand, is located on the east side of Interstate 35E in Lewisville's Old Town. It functions as a hub for the arts in Lewisville, able to show films, host meetings, and provide a venue for various kinds of artistic performance. The project began in 2004 and aimed to fulfill a long-term goal of building an arts center to coincide with the 2011 opening of the Old Town Station. The facility opened in January 2011 with a series of performances, children's shows, concerts, and exhibits, and the Greater Lewisville Arts Alliance presented the theater with a $25,000 contribution to begin their fundraiser to place a Steinway piano in the theater. In 2011 and 2012, The Flower Mound Connection newspaper named the MCL Grand the best events venue in Denton County.
The city government created the Lewisville Public Library in 1968, naming Cindy Bennett as its first director. A 5,000 sq ft (460 m2) structure was built where the city hall now stands. A new library facility was built in 1986 as part of the municipal building on Main Street. In 2001, Lewisville voters approved a 4B tax package, part of which was dedicated to building a new library facility, the children's wing of which was dedicated to Bennett. The $11 million renovation opened in 2006, and it received the Achievement of Excellence in Libraries Award in that year and again in 2009. Lewisville was also the temporary home of the George W. Bush Presidential Library until 2013.
Lewisville is served mainly by media from the Dallas area, but a number of niche publications focus on local news. The Lewisville Enterprisemerged with The Lewisville Leader in 1962. The paper's publisher and editor at the time, U.O. Clements, was a staunch conservative, but vociferously supported the racial integration of Lewisville Independent School District, for which he received many anonymous threats from members of the Ku Klux Klan. Clements sold the paper to Harte-Hanks Community Newspapers in 1971. Star Newspapers, which owned the Leader, was purchased by 1013 Communications in 2012. The newspaper is based in Plano, Texas. In 2011, the Lewisville City Council designated the Lewisville portion of Neighborsgo, a weekly section of The Dallas Morning News, as the city's official newspaper of record.
The City of Lewisville operates various public recreation facilities, including parks, two recreation centers, and approximately 14 miles (23 km) of trails. The $20 million Railroad Park was built in 2009 using the revenue from a quarter-cent sales tax increase; it was the largest capital project in the city's history at the time. It was renamed Toyota of Lewisville Railroad Park in 2010 in a deal worth $1.5 million. The park has a baseball/softball complex, a football complex, eight lighted soccer fields, two concession buildings, a perimeter walking/jogging trail, three man-made lakes, a dog parkand the Scion Skate Park. Since 2010, the skate park has hosted the Scion Regional Amateur Tour, part an annual series of six skateboarding competitions held across the country. In 2012, the venue hosted its first annual triathlon event benefiting the Court Appointed Special Advocates(CASA) of Denton County.
Lewisville Lake Park comprises 662 acres (268 ha), which the city leases from the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The park includes various amenities, including athletic fields and designated campgrounds. The Lewisville Fishing Barge, an indoor–outdoor fishing facility that opened in 1958, is located on the lake. The park also hosts the Rick Neill Memorial, a cross country running meet organized each year by the Lewisville High School track and field team. In February 2013, the city began to review a development proposal to build a resort hotel and convention center on a 60-acre (0.24 km2) parcel of land next to the lake.
Lewisville is also a major hub of the Northern Golf Corridor of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Golf facilities located in the city include the Hank Haney Golf Ranch at Vista Ridge and Timbercreek Golf Center. Located on the southeast edge of the city, the Lakes at Castle Hills is a Jay Morrish-designed course which opened in the late 1990s; critics have rated the course highly, praising its amenities and difficulty level. Lake Park Golf Course, located near Lewisville Lake, is noted for its beginner-friendly design. The nine-hole, 1,724-yard (1,576 m) Lake Park Executive course opened in 1994. Lewisville is also home to professional golfer Chad Campbell, winner of the 2003 Tour Championship.
In 2011, the Lewisville Park Board proposed a new master plan for the city's parks and recreation facilities. It specifies a major overhaul of the city's trail system, including 51 miles (82 km) of off-street trails, 50 miles (80 km) of enhanced sidewalks, 50 miles (80 km) of bicycle routes, a 7.4-mile (11.9 km) paddling trail down the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, and 31 major and minor trailheads throughout the area, many of which would connect to other trail networks. The plan includes numerous crossings of Interstate 35E for pedestrian and bicyclist safety. In March 2012, the Park Board began reviewing a new master plan to address the next ten years of park development in the city.

The Crop Factor
Digital and film images straight out of the camera are sized at 2:3 ratio (picture sizes: 4x6, 8x12, 16x24 and 20 x 30). When you print in a ratio other than 2:3 you will need to do some cropping. However not all images are created equal when it comes to cropping. Some images may look fine cropped to a 4:5 ratio(picture sizes: 8x10, 16x20 and 24x30) HOWEVER some may lose important elements. Please consider which print size you want for each image. Below is a simple guideline you may use when you are ordering your print sizes:
"How Do I Crop My Image Accordingly?"
So you ask,"How do I crop my images accordingly?"When you access your images from my website and you order the size picture you want, you will notice that when it is in your cart to purchase there is a box around the area that matches the size you ordered. Whatever is inside that box is what will print; that represents how your image will be cropped. That box can be moved around to customize your image. So go ahead and move it around until you are satisfied with the final crop. If you need ANY help at ANY TIME during your purchasing process PLEASE contact me and I will gladly assist you.

The York Region Amateur Radio Club was founded in 1959 by amateurs interested in sharing knowledge of radio communications. As the hobby has grown to include many forms of electronic communication, the club's valuable resources have helped members keep up with the rapid change and enjoy the hobby even more.
Our club has also become an active community partner supporting charitable and non-profit organizations across York Region. We provide free communications services to community events to help improve coordination and safety. We also train and prepare to provide emergency communications services in times of need, coordinating our efforts with government emergency managers across York region. As another form of community service, we offer nearly-free training to help people obtain their amateur certifications, and we arrange training in related areas such as first-aid, emergency preparedness, and emergency management.
Club members are active with ongoing technical projects across a range of interests. We maintain three repeater systems, providing coverage for portable and mobile communications across the region. Members are experimenting with high speed data communications radio (mesh networks) across the region, which is technically challenging but has great potential. Software Defined Radio has grabbed the interest of our members, some of whom have built powerful but inexpensive radios from kits at the club's project nights. Our members reflect the multi-faceted nature of the hobby, with interests ranging from using Morse code for distant communications to building and using satellites or bouncing signals off the moon.
We also like to get together in person, with meetings on the first Tuesday of each month from September to June, getting together for Field Day in June, running our annual Hamfest, or meeting up for a Saturday morning "fox hunt".
If you're interested in amateur radio, please come out to one of our meetings – no other invitation required - or contact us for more information.

Meshing Around in York Region
by Steve Brady VA3SRV
The York Region Amateur Radio Club (YRARC) was recently awarded a Trillium grant that allowed them to acquire a D-Star Repeater system. One of the key things that sets a D-Star system aside from a regular digital repeater is having Internet access.
Radio Clubs benefit from the generousity of some of the Comm tower companies across the country, but getting a "good price" for the required Internet access is sometimes next to impossible to attain. Our Club VP (Chris – VE3NRT) has a day job in the IT world and was responsible for setting up the D-Star gateway and, while looking for ways of getting Internet to a proposed D-Star site, he stumbled on to a Ham supported Mesh project that could potentially solve the Club's needs as well as open up many other possibilities.
High Speed Multi-Media MESH (www.hsmm-mesh.org) is a project that originated with the ARRL and took advantage of existing open software architecture on the WRT54Gx models of Linksys routers.
These routers can be found for as little as $30 (there is a hardware compatability list that should be referenced) and the firmware installation is painless with an easy to follow tutorial that lives on the main site.
In short, the firmware is based on "open-WRT" and has had a "MESH" layer added to it that gives the "magic" that makes it work. Except for changing the Node name to include your callsign, there is little else to be done ...the moment any of these "modified" routers come within range, they will automatically connect to each other.
So, that doesn't sound much different than a regular wireless network ....but it is!!
What sets a Mesh aside is the auto-traffic routing that it performs. The routers automatically take the most effective path to its destination and should any router fail, the mesh survives as it re-directs to the nodes still online. So, in the end, the more stations in range the better!!
These same routers have removeable antennas with RP-TNC connections that allow for higher gain or directional antennas to be used! So the creativity can pour forth into the metal wands we stick in to the air.
Sounds great ...but, are there drawbacks? YES, the bugger is that, with 2.4 GHz signals, it is VERY important to have a direct line-of-site between nodes. So, terrain plotting programs (i.e., Splat, Radio Mobile, etc.) were used to determine if paths existed between different QTHs. This helped with determining where the terrain prevented a path and where directional antennas should be used, but it does NOT take into account foliage, condos, etc, so it is only used as a guide.
York Region, north of Toronto, is a large geographically diverse area of over 2,100 sq. Km., slightly larger than the country of Israel! Our Club is centrally located in the Newmarket/Aurora area in an undulating bowl completely cut off from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) due to the Oak Ridges Moraine (it would be great to put a site up on the top of the Moraine to help bridge the region). My QTH is further removed, within the Holland Marsh, and I'm eagerly awaiting a viable link to point my Yagi's at!
MESH routers can be built into an enclosure and mounted up on your tower. Power can be passed through an ethernet cable using Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) breakout cables ...or power can be run directly from batteries or solar panels via a small charge controller.
In true Amateur fashion, there are folks repurposing old digital satellite dishs for use on their systems. It takes a bit more work to make sure the focal point is set, but there are lots of web references to assist. As well, the DIY'er can play with Cantenna's and Pringle's cans to see what luck they have.

The routers will only talk to each other, so don't expect to connect to them with your laptop/smartphone, though you can still see their SSID name. The easiest way to connect is to plug your LAN cable in to the router. This does offer some security from the conventional user.
At our recent Hamfest, I was able to cludge together a demo that consisted of a few updated routers and Raspberry Pi's running USB webcams. It's all eye-candy, but it demonstrated some of the basic functions to be explored. You can run a FTP server, which is a simple way to exchange/retrieve files during deployments (emergency or event based). There's also the ability to have text based "IRC chatrooms" where everyone can share information ...and there's work underway on VOIP-type software as well. Really, just about anything you can do on your home/Internet network can be done on the HSMM-MESH network. The routers allow port forwarding as well as "advertised services" assignment. So a basic functioning webpage can be built on each router that could link to ftp servers, imagery, etc....

Plot of potential links within YRARC Mesh network Note the East/West ridgeline transmitting site 6; this would make for an excellent 'over the hill' linking stations.
Status as of December 13, 2012 – several stations on the air but no links achieved.

For community events, or emergency callouts, there can be occasions when you need to bridge geographic gaps between areas. Sending an outfitted person can be a waste of resources, so why not deploy a standalone MESH Node!?
Matt (VA3MGN) surprised me at our Hamfest MESH Demo by bringing in his newly built transportable Node. It's similar to other ideas on the Internet, but I got to look at this one in person.
Matt made use of a directional antenna and an omni (the Yagi would link in to an active mesh node and the omni would provide local coverage), but this can be easily converted to two Yagis if the true intent was to link the gap between two distance nodes.
The enclosure was a re-purposed sprinkler timer control box that already had the waterproof gaskets and the bonus of a locking latch for security. Three holes were cut in to the bottom with PL259 bulkhead connectors for the antennas and one feedthrough connector for network/power.
There is plenty of room in this box without having to use a ratchet clamp to close the lid!

The tripod is a re-purposed camera tripod, which makes for a light base. An adjustable vertical leg extension can fit over a ground stake to help secure the station in a wind. Another option for a stand could be a surveyors tripod.
Ultimately, this is a nice/clean way of building a transportable node where the item costs were just over $350. There are ways to cut costs, but in the end the main costs will be your antennas and router.

It could be an old cooler, storage tote, backpack....or a couple of pipes jammed in to the ground with wireties and duct-tape (think of it as art!), but in the end you have an effective way to bridge any service gaps for your event.

Mesh networks have been around almost as long as Wi-Fi. They have actually been very popular in the developing world (check out http://villagetelco.org/) where there are very few landlines, which spurred the widespread use of cell phones for voice and mesh for data. Most mesh networks operate around 2.4 GHz – pretty much line of sight – so rural Africa has a key advantage over us in that they have far fewer man-made obstructions. The networks are high speed at 54 megabits/second wireless, self-assembling, and fault tolerant. Also of interest to both hams and third world countries is that the network is built from standard off-the-shelf routers designed for the home market. These cost less than $70 brand new including 5 wired network connections, a stripped-down version of the Linux operating system, a power supply and the RF hardware, which can be cranked up as high as 250mw. Coupled with high gain antennas really long distances can be achieved, occasionally in excess of 100km (over water).
The key to this is the software. The standard software supplied by Linksys is replaced with free code from a group of amateurs in Texas (see http://hsmm-mesh.org/). Loading the software and basic configuration is pretty simple, and once done the router will seek out other of its kind to talk to, limiting itself to the 2.4 GHz amateur band. The routers will also act as relays from device to the next, just like land-line routers do, so data will automatically hop from router to router to get to its destination. In Texas, they've built a network that covers the city of Austin, so hams can move data, voice and video (at 54 megabits, all these are possible, even at the same time) even when the Internet is not available. Hams are putting units in "go boxes" to deploy networks wherever they need them (drawing 250ma at 12v, they can run on a battery for a long time). Hams are putting them in balloons, tethered or otherwise. Hams are pulling the boards out of their cases and soldering on their own modifications. In other words, hams are being hams.
Another key feature is fault tolerance. If a router goes off the air, the network will automatically try to reroute around it. So with enough routers deployed, a large area can be covered reliably even if something goes wrong. This is a key concept. If each router can communicate with 3 or 4 others, the result is coverage across a region that can withstand multiple failures and keep on working. The first club mesh experiment ("mesh-up") was at the last D-Star meeting on September 13th.
In and around York Region, a bunch of hams have already started to experiment with them, mostly using the Linksys WRT54-GL router. It appears that the Aurora/Newmarket area is pretty well covered already with VA3XS, VE3GS, VE3CT, VE3NRT and VA3DXZ so far, and in the more far-flung reaches we have VE3HII, VE3WY, VA3IL, VE3UT, and VE3PIP already getting going. Also Steve VA3SRV in Bradford is trying it out but as he lives in a valley he might have to get creative to connect with the rest of us.
So if you're interested, all you need is a router, a computer, some cable and a couple of antennas which can be home-brew or inexpensive commercial units. In most cases, because the routers are cheap, light and low power, it's best to put the near the antenna as network cable is much cheaper than low-loss feed line at 2.4gHz. If you want to discuss coverage or need help, talk to me or one of the other hams listed above. If you live somewhere high-up or in-between two other hams or have access to a tower we may find you first.

Scott NicholsBelow is a synchronized Tcl thread logger based on example 21-9, page 333, in the book Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk 4th edition, by Brent B. Welch, Ken Jones with Jeffrey Hobbs. The thread logger allows synchronized screen prints from a child thread to the main thread (needed for Windows and Maconintosh) and for synchronized file access. When the log command is executed from a thread, the trace (file append) will provide the date time, thread id, and custom message. The log command can be called from the main thread or child threads. Performance wise this seem to run just fine. Performance is not impacted because the Tcl interpreter caches the file writes when opening a file in a+ mode until the memory buffer is full. Comments or suggestions welcome.
Copy the code below in the main thread only.
package require Thread # logPath parameter should include the file name in the path. # If not provided the file name will be today's date. # Set to false if you only want to do screen prints tsv::set logging ID true # File Path and File to use for logging. tsv::set logPath ID ./myFile # Put this code in the main thread only. # Needed for screen prints from other threads. tsv::set mainThread ID [thread::id] # Put this code in main thread only set ::threadLogger [::thread::create { proc log { value logging {logPath "./"}} { global yesterday logid if { [catch { set currentday [clock seconds] set seconds $currentday thread::send -async [tsv::get mainThread ID] [list puts "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------"] thread::send -async [tsv::get mainThread ID] [list puts "[clock format $seconds -format "%D|%T|"]$value"] if { $logging } { set currentday [clock format $currentday -format %d] if { !

This is a test"
MHo 2015-11-16:
- When did the log gets closed?
- From the perspective of the main program, how to tell if all requests, which are sent async to the logger thread, are processed?
- How to end the logger thread? Simply ending the mainprog doesn't take pending requests in account...

Here is another great story about the creative marketing strategy for the travel industry! From 5th of July 2015, the Rue Androuet in the famous Montmartre district of Paris, France was renamed to Rue de la Flandre, giving Parisians and visitors the chance to sample the atmosphere of Flanders and Brussels in Paris.
This is a very creative and rather unique way of destination marketing and one has to applaud to the efforts of VisitFlanders to undertake such a bold move. It was certainly not easy to 'take-over' the whole street in the center of Paris; however, this proved to be a very successful initiative. The Flemish pop-up street in the heart of Paris aimed to promote tourism in Flanders and focused on 5 main themes: festivals, heritage, foods and drinks, design and cycling.
The shops in the street were filled with Flemish products including beer, shrimp croquettes, speculoos and cuberdons. Street also featured art galleries, cafés, a beer cave, and a chip shop called "Le Fritkot". The whole event coincided with the start of the Tour de France in Antwerp, which also contributed to the reinforcement of a stronger image and branding of Flanders in France. This may look as a 'massive undertaking' for a tourism board, but astonishingly the whole project had cost VisitFlanders about 320.000 € (which is about 5 % of their annual budget). Certainly, this is worth of the investment, considering the fact that the French tourists account for 2 million overnight stays in Flanders annually and they are considered to be 'big spenders'. They tend to spend 180 EUR on average per day, a lot more than, for example, Dutch visitors.
You may find more information about the Rue de la Flandre project from Toerisme Vlaanderen official website. Other interesting insights may be read on a French blog Burn me baby.

Malala Yousafzai wins the Nobel Peace Prize! She is the youngest person to receive this coveted honor. Hopefully, this moment will wake Pakistan up and lead it to realize that Malala is right — everybody deserves an education, including girls.
The Western world can finally understand that it is not the religion of Islam that promotes these ridiculous ideas, like no education for girls. It is the culture of that society and the people living there who impose these restrictions under the banner of Islam. Malala uses the teachings of Islam in a true manner. Islam says that every Muslim is required to get an education, whether a man or a woman. So who in the world are these extremists to tell her what to do?
I firmly believe that the education of girls is the best tool to counter extremism in the Muslim world.

Place beef, vegetables, cloves, peppercorns, and bay leaves in a large bowl. Bring wine, water, salt, and pepper to a boil and pour over beef. Cover and refrigerate 3 days, turning beef in marinade twice a day. About 3 hours before you're ready to serve, remove beef from marinade and pat dry with paper toweling; reserve marinade. Brown beef and marrowbones well in oil in a large kettle over moderate heat, about 15 minutes. (Note: If bones brown before meat, remove temporarily.) Add marinade, cover, and simmer 1 1/2 hours, turn meat, re-cover, and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours longer until tender; transfer to a large platter and keep warm. Strain marinade and discard vegetables; scoop marrow from bones, sieve, and add to marinade. Heat 1/2 cup lard or margarine in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat, blend in flour and brown 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in marinade, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring, until thickened. Mix in gingersnaps and sugar to taste. Carve meat at the table - not too thin or slices will crumble - and serve with plenty of gravy. Or carve in the kitchen, arrange slices slightly overlapping on a platter, and pour some of the gravy down the center; pass the rest. Serve with Potato Dumplings, Spaetzle, or boiled potatoes.

From a series of easy dinner recipes, explained in this post.
There aren't that many things I use a crock pot for; mostly cooking meat. This is one of the few actual meals that I like cooked in a one. It's super easy for a day when you will be gone a lot, and most of the ingredients are things you probably keep on hand anyway. If you want to doctor it up by adding more seasonings, go for it.
1 bag frozen corn
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 large boneless/skinless chicken breasts
16 oz. salsa or picante sauce (homemade or from a jar, whatever)
In a large crock pot layer corn, then chicken, then beans, and top with salsa. Cook on low 4-6 hours (longer if your chicken is frozen, or cook on high). Shred chicken and serve with fresh cilantro, sour cream, tortilla chips and cheese, if desired.

GARY, Ind. --A tourism group in Lake County wants federal and state support for a customs facility at the Gary/Chicago International Airport.
The facility would enable regular airline service between northwest Indiana and Mexico, according to a unanimous resolution by the Lake County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The Mexican airline VivaAerobus applied to the U.S. Department of Transportation in March for daily flights between Gary and Monterey, Mexico. The airport first must build a customs facility, which would require approval from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and could cost at least $3 million.
The Hammond City Council approved a similar resolution last month.

California's historic drought provoked an unprecedented executive order by Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday, mandating a 25% cut in statewide water use. Yet, for the 38 million people who live on the Golden-State's now uber-dry surface, lax leadership, management and proper upkeep have contributed to the crisis in our most precious liquid commodity. And it's in the state's most liberal cities where the worst mismanagement has often taken place.
Los Angeles, for example, has seen several maintenance issues recently that have resulted in the loss of tremendous amounts of water as old mains in dire need of replacement have ruptured.
In July of last year, a 90-year-old water main erupted, releasing over 10 million gallons of water onto UCLA's campus and Sunset Boulevard. The Pauley Pavilion, which is home to the school's Bruins basketball team, had just undergone $130 million in renovations when it was flooded.
Just two months later, the infamously wild Playboy Mansion got soaking wet when a 12-inch case iron main from 1969 ruptured during rush hour, making it one of 20 homes affected in the midst of the driest drought Cali has seen.
And in February of this year, a water main from 1916 broke in the Hollywood Hills which let 100,000 gallons of water loose, damaging condos, cars and even sidewalks. The Department of Water and Power has been increasing the cost of utilities but has not seemed to invest enough in upgrading old infrastructure.
To the north, three of the largest Bay Area water agencies (the Santa Clara Valley Water District, the East Bay Municipal Utility District and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission) announced this March that they are considering a 30% increase in rate hikes.
Meanwhile, the top executives of at each of these Bay Area water districts are taking home paychecks that more than double what California's top government official, Gov. Jerry Brown takes home.

Well, I care. And a lot of parents all across the nation who know care. You must understand this information and then take action to pass it on. If we expect to preserve our tradition of conservatism and liberty, we cannot have a society of low information voters and elected representatives.
Part I: What You Need To Know
This may be TMI, but you need to know.
Earlier this week Bob Corcoran came to Salt Lake City and attended an education legislative hearing at the state capitol and met with key people. The next day, a friend approached us in the Senate Office Building and reported, "He was telling people that anyone who is against 'Common Core State Standards' is a liar."
Those are rather harsh words, indeed.
I was sitting at my laptop and I went to work. "So, what's his name?" I probed. She didn't remember. "OK, did he say who he represented or what company he worked for?"
"I think he was with GE." Google "Bob Corcoran GE."
"Bob Corcoran … Vice President of Corporate Citizenship and President of GE Foundation. Is this what he looks like?" I asked.
"Yes, that looks like him."
Next… a stream of consciousness – Google word association. Oh how I love Google. (Well not the progressives who created and administer it, but… how grateful I am that I don't have to get in my car and go to the downtown library to look him up in a card catalog or periodical as we did when I was in college or first started out in public policy research in the mid-1970s.)
Google "Bob Corcoran Common Core." Ah…interesting.
So Who Is Bob Corcoran?
He just happens to be the man responsible for one of the largest corporate donations to date – over $18 million – toward the implementation of Common Core State Standards nationally through the GE Foundation.
How is it possible that in one week, I'm making it – big-time – on the "most favorite" list of who's who in corporate America? I've just asked the AT&T and Ernst & Young CEOs to either stand up or step aside in the BSA battle to keep its morally straight standards. Now I'm apparently taking on General Electric.
Sometimes, no, most of the time, it feels like David and Goliath. But you may remember, David did win. And I don't like losing.
Next. Google "Bob Corcoran International Baccalaureate" (simply because I had just written a Fact Sheet on it for the state Senate.)
Wow. Bob Corcoran is also the man that threatened to pull millions of dollars out of the Stamford, CT schools because they are – horrors – t-r-a-c-k-ing their students. This is education lingo for putting students who qualify in honors classes, or in ability groups or homogeneous levels according how well they're doing in the subject areas. Tracking can also be used to establish a dual Prussian system that places some students in a vocational track and others in a college track at an early age for the purpose of managing the workforce. That's a bad idea. But read on…
Is Tracking Racist?
In the late 1980s, the education and government establishment considered tracking (or ability grouping) to be a racist practice in Dallas, Texas where I lived. Tracking placed students that were working at a similar pace and level of expertise in the same class and grouped them together homogeneously. In a district with minority students, the stats showed that not enough minorities were getting into the more accelerated tracks.
So the logical solution was to eliminate honors classes. Right? Seriously. Okay, of course I'm being sarcastic. But that proposal, which was very serious, got me into a school board race, and we saved the honors program.
But "heterogeneous grouping" (putting students of all levels in the same class) became the standard for the public school classroom, making it much more difficult for teachers to teach to a wide range of levels.
One solution was to use the students to manage it within their cooperative learning groups – peer mentoring. What a mess that was – and is.
Part II: Social Justice in the Classroom
What did the research show about heterogeneous grouping that caused it to become a social justice cause celebre to remove honors classes?
The studies showed that when the faster students worked with the slower students, it "closed the gap" as they say. That means that the schools used, and still do, the faster students to bring the slower ones up to speed, causing the faster students to slow down and sometimes plateau. That's what they mean by "closing the gap."
Educators think that's a good strategy. Social justice educators think that's the fair strategy.
Parents who know think it's a deliberate dumb down of education. My longtime colleague and former Senior Policy Advisor in the U.S. Department of Education Charlotte Iserbyt during the Reagan Administration is the encyclopedia of that history. Where people once laughed at her assertions, no one's laughing now.
Whether intended or unintended, the result is that the public school classroom has been lowering the basketball standard so all can shoot the basket equally for about a century now. Consequently, America is full of Hannity's "Man on the Street" who can't even identify who the Vice President is. Thanks in large part to the public school system that captured prime time of several generations exploited in an inferior system of education, we're now a nation of low information voters – and elected officials, the most dangerous threat to a free society.
This is one messed-up education system. One wonders why the U.S. continues to pay more for less – and why intelligent parents continue to place their children in this inferior educational environment when they can afford alternatives.
I don't fault them, however. It's because unless you have the time to really dig in and do a ton of research, the marketing for public schools is incredibly effective. And what typical parent has the time?
So Who Is Bob Corcoran Now?
Bob Corcoran apparently wants more of the same of a past century of dumbing-down. He's a successful man, but he may simply be unfamiliar with this research. Nevertheless, he plans to continue the madness of trying to fix it with what I call affirmative action in the classroom – or redistribution of the brain. They're using cooperative learning strategies, progressive curricula, standards and assessments to track students into either college or trade tracks, and at a young age.
Many may not be aware, but this is the old dual Prussian central management model that paved the way for the National Socialist Party of Germany.
Now that's tracking, I'd say! It's top-down, central government management over the workforce. Hardly a conservative idea. Whatever happened to local control and parental rights?
This Google search was getting too intriguing to stop there. It appeared that Corcoran flew all the way to Salt Lake City because he has thrown GE's financial investment to Obama's Common Core (we affectionately call it ObamaCore), and Utah citizens were carving out an effective campaign to throw it out. But how can Utah – or any other state Corcoran may visit – resist an offer it can't refuse? But then Corcoran has also threatened to pull millions out of the schools in his home territory in Stamford, CT, almost a continent away.
What's In It For Him?
Bob Corcoran is obviously a man who has learned that he can control a lot of people with a lot of money. He is pushing a system that uses technology to track its students, their habits, attitudes and beliefs (a perfect day in the marketing department). Central managers are proposing the sharing of personal and private data, and to make common – or uniform – a national curriculum and assessment under the ruse that every state is creating its own.
The Affordable Care Act is doing the same because it needs the records -physical and behavioral – to dispense medical care through its school-based clinic grants.
This business model makes central management much easier. And GE needs all the Green cheerleaders and future laborers the schools can produce for its own profit.
But an astute and persistent group of Utah moms and dads has kept the entire establishment on its toes and has discovered just how much privacy they and their children will be giving up in this centrally-managed approach.
Perhaps Bob Corcoran has heard that the Common Core "liars" are making headway in pushing back on these standards in Utah. So it was time to pay a visit to Utah and set the record straight? $18 million is a lot of money.
So again, what's in it for him? I think you are getting the picture. But there's more…Read on…
So I Googled another association: "Bob Corcoran Democrat contributions."
Part III: Voila. Now who is Bob Corcoran?
Bob Corcoran is a wealthy man who sits at the helm of the charitable foundation and PAC for General Electric. GE, the Global Green Giant, is almost single-handedly responsible for selling our nation's energy soul to sustainable development and extremist environmental regulations at the expense of our vast natural resources, in favor of more costly and less dependable wind and solar energy – anything not fossil fuel.
GE gave us the green light bulbs filled with toxic mercury. (Have you noticed that toxic, sickly green tint in your living room?) They don't last as long as they said they would, but incandescent light bulb lovers will be out of luck as they become obsolete – whether we want it or not. Well, I personally want my incandescent bulbs back.
The Suppression of Prosperity
His corporation is working with the Obama Administration, effectively keeping Utah and other states in the region from accessing the vast fossil fuels available. As the President promised, the intent is to bankrupt its clean coal plants, which has depressed the economy and stonewalled the funding needed for education. If Utah had it, the state wouldn't need GE's help and Utah could create its own superior schools.
Here's President Obama on bankrupting those coal plants:
But GE wants the control. GE is the champion of taxing the U.S.'s carbon footprint to redistribute our wealth globally with that tax to eradicate poverty while millions of Americans are out of work here because, let me repeat, in Utah we cannot access our natural resources because Democrats, such as Bob Corcoran, want to control the profits. I make no apology for that run-on sentence.
Don't get me wrong. I am a capitalist. I'm all for people making a profit.
Even though I'm not an atheistic objectivist, I cheered along with the rest of the audience at the end of the recent film Atlas Shrugged II (which my nephew film-scored). Anyone who wants to create wealth should be allowed to do so as long as it meets standards of decency. It's what successful people do with their money that matters.
Selling GE, Common Core and the Democratic Party to Republican Utah
And that's my point with what Bob Corcoran is doing with his money – GE's money. GE is a major, major, MAJOR donor to the uncommonly-common Common Core State Standards as well as a champion of social justice classroom strategies that the Obama Administration is imposing on the states in the name of "voluntary" (e.g. if you want the money, it's mandatory). GE Foundation has given $7 million to Achieve to implement Common Core.
And for my Republican friends, even though Common Core has funding from both sides of the aisle, Corcoran is also a major, major, MAJOR donor to the Democratic Party, having supported and maxxed out for Barack Obama in both elections, and was a consistent donor for other Democrats for several years.
So Bob Corcoran came to the Utah State Capitol to meet with mostly Republican legislators who are governed by a Republican governor, who were just wined and dined by a powerful Democrat. No wonder Utah is a Red State with some very Democratic-sounding bills and laws.
Corcoran, the Sustainability Professional
I'm obviously addicted to Google searching, but I needed to make a point, almost certain of what I would find. So, next…"Bob Corcoran sustainable development"
Did you know that Bob Corcoran is the Sustainability Professional?
He supports the "college and career ready" model (remember, the old Prussian model of separating students into two or three different courses of study at an early age – one for college and the other for trade school.) Much has been written about this, but the point is that Germany centrally-managed its workforce which gave the emerging Third Reich enormous power and control over the people.
Here's the Achieve conference where Bob was a keynote speaker:
Here is Corcoran speaking at the Carnegie Council recently on GE's business practices with China.
Part IV: What's the common core here? Putting It Together
GE received $646 billion in bailouts from the Obama administration in 2009. Read that: GE was ready to fold. Then in 2010 GE, Exelon, Caterpillar were three of the major corporations that pushed for either "cap and trade" or a carbon tax. Naturally, they desire to capture the market. But in order to make that happen, the old fossil fuel, natural resources market had to be suppressed. Plus they needed to lock in their future buyers and laborers, especially the low-level workers. What better marketing scheme could there be than to sell the Global Green Giant collectivist plan to save our planet on our vulnerable and impressionable children and who will one day graduate from the Common Core school to be career-ready for GE?
What's in it for Bob Corcoran, isn't what's "in it" for Utahns who know what's happening. Let me repeat:
These environmental laws are costing Utah millions in lost revenue that could be otherwise be used to improve education locally – without federal intrusion and without GE's philanthropic intervention.
Growing Green
The curriculum itself has turned a strong shade of green. Just walk through the hallways of your local elementary school and you will see it everywhere on the walls. If you want to own that corner of the market for generations of profits, you will need a generation of workers who passionately support the lie that humans are destroying the planet. And you will need a strong coalition.
Some Leaders at the Top
Let me introduce of key leaders in this coalition. First, chairman of 1992 Rio The Earth Summit – former U.N. Under Secretary for the Environment, Maurice Strong, a former Canadian oil entrepreneur turned green technology investor. Strong developed the U.N.'s environmental policy beginning in the mid-1970s, during the Paul Ehrlich sky-is-falling days of The Population Bomb which triggered a parallel fervor in the feminist movement to pass Roe v. Wade and urge the United States to reduce its population. I lay today's social security crisis at the feet of these socialist central managers who must have known the disparity in population would create economic havoc.
Maurice (pronounced MOR-ris) chaired the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and moved the event's declaration forward. It is called Agenda 21. His opening speech and more about Agenda 21 is here. In 1999, Strong was responsible for restoring the U.N. University of Peace in Costa Rica after mismanagement.
Next, meet his friend Mikhail Gorbachev, founder of Green Cross International and of course former Prime Minister of the U.S.S.R. Many believe that Gorbachev renounced socialism/communism. In reality, while his power and influence was diminishing, his message to the Politburo was one of re-dedication to communism. Post-Perestroika/Glastnost. he recreated a new strategy to take socialism global. Around 1991, Gorbachev founded two non-profits in San Francisco, the Gorbachev Foundation and the Green Cross International. My eye caught that tiny article about Green Cross, and I called Charlotte. She had been following it as well.
We commiserated. "Cherilyn, this is the most dangerous time of all." I agreed. Some who had grown up during the Cold War and Khrushchev pounding threats of "We will bury you!" let the euphoria give them a false sense of security. After all, if there's no more Evil Empire, what's there to worry about?
Meanwhile, the U.S. had entered into another war, this time in the Middle East. All attention simultaneously turned to a new demon – Islamic terrorism. While no one was really watching, Gorbachev had successfully seized upon a moment to evangelize worldwide, this time using environmentalism. In 1992, as I was wall papering my bathroom, I listened to the commentary coming from Rio, The Earth Summit.
What a deceptive coup. Charlotte, I and others in our communications circles (pre-Internet) felt virtually alone in our skepticism of the Evil Empire having fallen for good.
Gorbachev conveniently became a major Global Green Guru assisting Strong in creating The Earth Charter – a manifesto of "new commandments" of extreme environmentalism, unilateral disarmament, population control, and redistribution of wealth – inspired by the Earth Summit.
Another prominent player on the education side of this coalition is Robert Muller.
The late and former Assistant Secretary General of the U.N. Robert Muller created the World Core Curriculum for the University in collaboration with UNESCO. He is known as the "father of global education." I subscribed to his daily "Good Morning World" blog posts until his death. He and his curriculum was extremist in environmental and social philosophy and policy, advocating world governance and redistribution of wealth.
And of course there's also Al Gore, who just sold his TV empire to Big Middle East oil Emir Al Jazeera, the very industry he and his friends (did I mention George Soros?) want to inch out of the market.
Not bad for the guy that invented the Internet.
It's not the Internet itself. It's how they're using it. They have networked for the perfect and equitable socialist world they seek to control.
Speaking of Soros
I couldn't remember the numbers, so I did one last Google search. I promise. This is the last one. For this article.
General Electric George Soros.
I knew Soros is a major investor in GE. He owns much of the mainstream-liberal media as well. And of course, GE owns most of the media. It's a matrix of money.
Here's George Soros speaking on why capitalism is standing in the way of "open society"
This analysis would not be complete without one more…OK I'm breaking my promise…just ONE more Google search: "U.S. Chamber of Commerce Common Core"
I couldn't help myself because I've learned that, in following the money, the Chamber is usually there and does have a powerful voice in public policy setting. They need a labor force as well. Here's the Chamber's 2010 endorsement of the Common Core Standards.
We've made such headway in the pushback on Common Core, panic is breaking out. Now Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is urging the Chamber to get involved to help them in the states that are pulling back or refusing to adopt the standards. You can expect media, radio and TV, to join in with Exxon Mobil to convince us all that this is a terrific plan for college and career-readiness.
How Will Utah – and Other States – Respond to the Pressure?
This control through the manipulation of money and markets is being done entirely at the expense of liberty. Our children are being exploited with a curriculum controlled by the very money that bought it, designed to recruit faithful followers and massive profits. Bob Corcoran knows his mission is to convince our elected officials to trust the Obama administration's move toward a national curriculum and assessment that will connect the world in UNESCO's goal of one Common Global Core.
What does this do to the power of the vote? There is a name for this form of governance. it's called an oligarchy.
Will members of the Utah state legislature be susceptible to these pressures – or threats – as happened with Corcoran in Connecticut?
The power of this matrix to manipulate the states is enormous. Utah is populated with predominantly conservative, religious families who would oppose these curriculum goals, if they were aware of them. The well-funded, but unwanted, imposition of a set of lowered standards and content is daunting.
Through a brave new world of technology in education (as well as in health care) we're primed for the next phase: technology to track students nationally and globally. This is a stunning invasion of privacy and a violation of Constitutional protections.
But what better way to control the huge workforce these corporations will need in a world where we'll all be walking and/or riding bikes and mass transit to protect the environment, while the endangered species will be running the insane asylum, and General Electric will bring us all the Green Gadgets that require electricity and not fossil fuel!
GE doesn't care about our children, really. It cares about controlling them – for their own profit.
Follow the money and if there's corruption, you'll find it.
Do you get the picture?
That's why I do care about Bob Corcoran and what he wants. And that's why you should too.

Many of us go through life without a specific purpose. Generally, not quite happy with our jobs and/or career and not quite certain what to do that will be satisfying and fulfilling, while bringing in the big bucks. My suggestion is to dig deep and find that one thing that you enjoy but you're afraid to pursue. We all desire the things that we feel we can't have. For instance, we want the big house, fancy car and the 7 figure bank account. We dream of those things and wait to hit the lottery. Why do we sell ourselves short? Why do we not believe enough in ourselves to pursue our purpose?
Purpose defined: "The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists".
What if we take a moment to evaluate what we can do that makes us feel that we have purpose? What if we remove the fear of achieving our goals and dreams? What if we took a leap of faith in the direction that we want to go, but are afraid to venture? If we allow ourselves to take a chance on what we feel gives us purpose and direct our time and energy into said purpose we just may succeed.
Keep in mind that our current circumstances may only be temporary and that the road currently travelled is not the road meant for us. Sometimes our journey requires that we shift and change direction. Sometimes we may need to take the road less travelled to fulfill our unique purpose. Take a moment today to evaluate where you are in your life. Be honest with yourself. Are you happy? Is your job or career fulfilling? Are your relationships fulfilling? If the answer to these questions is 'No', then a leap of faith is certainly in your future. CHANGE YOUR LIFE -- PURSUE YOUR PURPOSE!

Project Description
The details of this rectangular side table are very carefully proportioned to give it a sense of balance and beauty. The square wenge and curly maple legs pierce the leopard wood top, with its matching curly maple stripe. A gentle curve on the floating lower shelf breaks up the otherwise rectilinear design and adds an organic feel to the piece.

Casa Colibri, Oakland University and Rotary Collaboration- Changes Lives in Guatemala
Dec 05, 2017
Dr Judith Venuti and Jeannine Moreland
Casa Colibri, Oakland University and Rotary Collaboration- Changes Lives in Guatemala
A local Rotary Club has supported a medical, literacy and clean water mission in the mountains of Guatemala for the past 15 years. The mission has grown to include six rural communities, one of which now has a permanent medical facility and a mobile support vehicle. Rotary medical volunteers noticed that infants born in certain villages had extremely high incidence and really severe mid facial deformities. Networking through a university in their home town, Rotarians found a medical student, who had formerly been a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar, that was interested in studying this phenomena. Come and learn how a simple application of good science, lots of love and hard work completely changed life for these infants.

Alicia Keys threw her husband a surprise roller-disco party in New York on Monday night (12Sep11) to celebrate his 33rd birthday.
The R&B star took over the Big Apple's High Line outdoor roller skating rink for her producer husband Swizz Beatz's bash.
The producer, real name Kasseem Dean, also surprised his wife with a very special gift on his birthday - he gave her a brand new luxury sports car.
He took to his Twitter.com blog to show off his generosity and posted a photo of the No One hitmaker posing beside her one-of-a-kind, bright red custom Lotus.
In the caption accompanying the picture, he wrote, "The best part of my Bday (sic) today was my gift I made my wife because my Bday is her Bday #love4life"
