Poetry Friday…this week's links are at Margaret Simon's blog, Reflections on the Teche.
The night is a big black cat.
The moon is her topaz eye.
The stars are the mice she hunts at night
in the field of the sultry sky.
G. Orr Clark
G. Orr Clark also wrote a children's book called "The Moon-Babies" around 1900, and had three pieces in Harper's magazine in 1902. The children's book is over two hundred dollars on Amazon, and Harper's archives are available by subscription only. So I'm left with this one poem to love. And I do!
Speaking of love, and black cats, visit illustrator Judy Watson's blog to see how she made a wonderful black cat sculpture out of paper lunch bags.
Poetry Friday: By Water's Edge
Hello, Poetry Friday. This week's links are at Sylvia Vardell's blog, Poetry for Children. Sylvia's also putting out a call for celebration-themed poems for the next installment of the Poetry Friday Anthology, and shares an example with a fun poem called "Hooray for Dogs" by Janet Wong.
Now I'd like to share a wonderful picture book by author Kay Barone.
My local library is connected with a small art museum, home to many works of American art. Because of this, the library's collection includes more art-related books than most public libraries. That's why I was lucky to find a copy of "By Water's Edge" by Kay Barone on one of the picture book shelves.
This quintessential summer picture book, published by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, pairs thirteen of Winslow Homer's artworks with Barone's gentle rhyming text. It's a perfect fit.
"Who will have fun with a tied up boat?
"Who will tilt it gently, who will watch it float?"
Author/poet/teacher Kay Barone died in 2010, and "By Water's Edge" was her only picture book. It might be difficult to find a copy, but it would make a timeless addition to any children's book collection.
Text Excerpt from: "By Water's Edge" by Kay Barone, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, 1996
Poetry Friday: Book Spine Haiku
Poetry Friday time! There are all kinds of wonderful links at Tabatha Yeatts' blog, The Opposite of Indifference. Go visit and see.
Does anyone else love playing with book spine poetry? My last one was a jump rope rhyme, so today is a change of pace.
Island in the sun –
the little red fish
by water's edge.
From: ISLAND IN THE SUN by Harry Belafonte and Lord Burgess with Illustrations by Alex Ayliffe; THE LITTLE RED FISH by Taeeun Yoo; BY WATER'S EDGE by Kay Barone.
Poetry Friday: Mix and Match
Hello, Poetry Friday. More links over at Linda's Write Time blog!
Mix and Match
The cat says high.
The dog says low.
The cat says stop.
The dog says go.
The cat says scritch.
The dog says scratch.
My pets just mix –
they never match.

Not Then But Now
Hello, Poetry Friday. Here's a small offering I saw on Twitter this week that seemed more poem than tweet to me. Just twelve words.
"Not then but now.
Not there but here.
Not that but this."
(Tweeted by Everyday Mindfulness – @mindfuleveryday)
Poetry Friday is hosted by Jone at Check It Out today. She has lots of wonderful links over there.
Poem Movie Beauty
Poetry Friday is hosted today by Catherine M. Johnson. Visit her site to find many poetry links for the week.
Thank you to Carol at Carol's Corner for explaining Poetry Friday to me. She shared this post by Tabatha Yeatts with me. It's a great introduction to Poetry Friday, if you're wondering how it works, too.
My contribution this week is a link to something small but wonderful. While thinking about the Poem Movie Challenge on Michelle Heidenrich Barnes' blog, I came across this version of Claude McKay's poem, THE TROPICS IN NEW YORK, on The Poetry Foundation's site. The animation is gorgeous, and Ziggy Marley's reading is unforgettable. I hope you'll like it, too.

Our owners and much of the staff Hit the Highway south last weekend for Portland's Waterfront Blues Festival. There are dozens of stellar blues festivals around the world, but we'll put Portland right there among the elite with Chicago. The line-up is second to none, the locale is gorgeous, and Portland is one of the best cities in the world to spend a few days. Everywhere we looked, we saw and heard artists and musicians who've played our club, and many who play here regularly. Among them: Reggie Houston, Janiva Magness, Jimi Bott, Kolvane, Moreland & Arbuckle, Chris Thomas King, Dudley Taft, Bobby Rush, Duffy Bishop, Capt. Leroy & the Zydeco Locals, David Vest, Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble, Donna Angelle & the Zydeco Posse, Mingo Fishtrap, Jim Mesi, Karen Lovely, Kevin Selfe & the Tornadoes, Jim Wallace, Mz. Dee, Lisa Mann & Her Really Good Band, the Sultans of Slide, Lloyd Jones, the Twisters, Walter Trout, Son Jack Jr. & Michael Wilde, Bill Rhoades, Terry Robb, and of course Robbe Laws Bigger Blues Band (featuring our founder and talent buyer, Steve "Big Sark" Sarkowsky).
We're not sure that people think of the Pacific Northwest when they think of the great blues regions. Naturally, we all think of the midwest with Chicago, St. Louis and Detroit; the south with Memphis, Texas, Louisiana. That's the history, the roots, and in most cases a pretty great present. Don't overlook the PNW, blues fans. Many of the players around here have crazy chops and the pedigrees to go with it. We've done some digging and it seems that after Chicago, whose publicly subsidized (and awesome) blues festival draws around 650,000 every year, Waterfront Blues Festival is probably the second largest in the U.S. Also, the fans at this year's event raised $650,000 and donated 100,662 pounds of food for the Oregon Food Bank.
Here is a pretty comprehensive guide to blues festivals around the land:
bluesfestivalguide.com. We've always found that there's nothing like a music festival to influence the personal travel schedule. A lot of the great blues fests are hosted in "minor markets" or places we don't otherwise consider vacation locales. Which makes this notion that much more appealing.
For those in the Northwest, next weekend is the great Winthrop Rhythm & Blues Festival which is perfect for anyone who likes a weekend camping trip and a kick-ass festival. This year, they've got Little Feat, Buckwheat Zydeco, Curtis Salgado, and much more.
We don't mean to be an infomercial, so we'll stop with the details. But we definitely recommend clicking on the links above to check this stuff out. Nothin' but good times await!

We're a little late to this, but last weekend City Councilor Sean Paige rejected the Colorado Springs Planning Commission's claim that it needed more time to study the issue, along with a updated working draft.
In his blog for Local Liberty Online, Paige says it's ironic that "that those who most adamantly oppose medical marijuana, those who decry the alleged problems it is creating in the city, now stand as the biggest single obstacle to getting a handle on the situation."
Now comes the planning commission, which ought to have been deliberating the issue months ago, but now seems to be retracing the same ground the MMJ task force covered late last year. How much of what the planning commission recommends will pass muster with a majority on Council is uncertain. I'll be a skeptic, given the clear anti-MMJ attitudes that seem to prevail among certain commission members.
Meanwhile, while all this was going on — or not going on — the medical marijuana industry kept growing, free from the sorts of controls that should have been in place by mid 2010. The situation has been allowed to get a little more "wild west" due to indecisiveness, inertia, delay and obstructionism

She is the hottest thing to hit the circuit in years. Fifteen-year-old Miley Cyrus, known to millions as her alter ego as "Hannah Montana" is currently on a concert tour that recently landed her in Toronto,( the ONLY Canadian stop on the tour..)
This acting, singing, dancing sensation took a few minutes to talk to Tribute's Bonnie Laufer about her busy life and all of the attention she is getting.
It must feel pretty amazing to know what a positive role model you are for millions of young kids out there!
M.C: Well, thank you. I really try with the show and my concerts to let kids and parents know that I really am just a down home girl with good values and work really hard at what I do.
Did you ever imagine that when you started "Hannah Montana" that it was going to be as big as it has become?
I really didn't. It's pretty crazy because it's a character that I invented and then when we went to Disney with the idea it really just evolved into what it has become. I really got to take the character, invert her and add my own flare to her, so to see all of that happen I think is really cool!
It must be so awesome for you to have your dad (Billy Ray Cyrus) along for every step of the way? It's pretty fantastic that he gets to play your dad on the show.
It is really cool actually. A lot of people ask me, isn't it a pain to have your dad around so much? I say no way, it's actually the coolest thing because I'm always safe and protected and loved and that's the best. Plus he is always there to give me advice and help me with this business because he's been thorough it.
I would think having both your parents around so much helps keep you grounded, keep your head right on your shoulders with this whirlwind that is going on with you right now?
Yeah, definitely. Too have them and my whole family around to make me feel normal is so important. It is a huge help.
I think being back here in Toronto has to bring back some special memories for you.
It does.
After all, this is the city where it all started for you. Your dad was shooting the TV series "Doc" here and it was then when you were nine years old told him you wanted to act.
I lived in Toronto for some of the most important years of my life. You do the most growing when you are about 8 to 12 and those were the years that I was here. I went to middle school and I met so many really cool people,
When did you know you wanted to try acting?
It was weird because of course my dad always had a music career, but didn't get into acting until her started doing "Doc." So I guess it wasn't until I was in that environment that I thought it would be something cool to do.
Music had to be a big part of your family life?
Oh yeah it was, but I started with a coach here in Toronto. I took singing and acting classes to make myself better because I really wanted to take it seriously and I didn't want people to think that I was just getting a break because of my dad.
Then you get the show, and then spirals into something huge and then you decide you want to take your singing act on the road. Miley- it is the biggest and hottest selling concert tour on the road right now!
I know, it has surpassed anyone's expectations!
How do manage to keep your head on your shoulders amidst all of this craziness?
I never expected this. My mom always says if my head weren't attached to my neck I would love it because literally so much is going on that I have no time to think about anything. I just constantly have to be on my toes and do whatever is needed at a moments notice.
So how do you manage it all? You are only 15! When do you have time to be the real "Miley?" Not Hannah.. not the stage Miley – but real girl – Miley Cyrus?
Usually on my tour bus., right now anyway. I like to hang out with my family and sometimes my good friends get to come along.
Does it ever get overwhelming?
Sometimes, sure, but I am pretty good about taking breaks. I know when its time to step aside and chill out.
What's the most exciting thing about being on the road?
The constant go, go, go! I love it!! I really don't have a second to think and I think that is so much fun! There is always something to do, I'm being pushed and being challenged and I really enjoy that part of my life.
It is truly amazing that some people will pay up to $2500.00 for tickets to see your show! That's unbelievable!
Yes, it is. I was shocked when I heard that one!
Is there anyone YOU'D pay $2500.00 to see in concert?
To be honest, no. That is a lot of money. I am truly flattered that people want to see me in concert that bad. I mean my show is good, but it's not that good!! ( laughs) !
Toronto was your ONLY Canadian stop on your tour. You have some pretty amazing and devoted fans here.
I wish we could have added more, but Toronto has been so good to me there was no way I wasn't going to stop here. I think the fans here are amazing.
What's the one thing that your fans would be the most surprised to find out about you that they don't already know?
Something that they'd be surprised to find out about me is that I'm a tomboy! Even though I look all-girlie and act girlie, in reality at home I am such a tomboy. I like to mess around and hang out with my brothers, that is the most fun for me!
I know that your parents keep a real good eye on your and try to raise you to be as "normal" as possible. You do something wrong, you get grounded!
Yes, that's true. My mom can be pretty strict some times. I do get grounded, all the time!
Did your mom take your phone away once? That's got to be the worst punishment for a 15-year old girl!
I hate it. Yes, she took away my phone, my computer privileges, TV ( although I don't watch a lot of TV so that one was OK) but mostly the computer and the phone are the first to go! ( laughs)
You have a lot of things coming up, but one thing I want to ask you about is your 3-D concert movie coming out in February. Have you seen yourself in 3-D?
Actually, I have. I got to see it. Pretty cool!
Wow – can you tell me a little bit about what that experience was like?
I as so critiquing myself. I was like, ewww… Miley what is going on with your face? I was making all these weird expressions when I was singing. When I hit those high notes I have to open my mouth really wide just to make a sound so when it is in 3-D it looks so ugly! It really isn't very glamorous to sing because you have to make all these funny faces to make it sound like the record. You really want to sound the best you can so you have to make all these disgusting faces. So when I saw it in 3-D I was like, oh my gosh, if that is what I really look like up close that's terrible. It was totally freaking me out!
Now a "Hannah Montana" movie, is that also on the agenda?
Yes, after the tour is done. We are aiming for late next year or 2009.

CHICAGO -- Karol Knowa left his native Krakow speaking Polish with only the basic English he was taught in grammar school. Now he speaks English fluently and is a junior at Hubbard High School, which sits in an economically and racially diverse Chicago neighborhood.
"I spent the entire eighth grade learning English," said Knowa shaking his head. At home he speaks Polish, in school he speaks English. His efforts paid off though, just three years after immigrating, he is enrolled in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Hubbard where he is one of many foreign and first generation American students.
A spate of IB programs have sprung up in Chicago as part of an effort to turn around low performing schools and draw the middle class back into the public school system. The IB program is attractive because it offers rigorous college-level course work in 11th and 12th grades. The course work stresses critical thinking and integrates subjects to enhance learning. Students must know a second language and be familiar with world literature.
The oldest program in the city was started at Lincoln Park High School in 1979. The success of the IB program at Lincoln Park has inspired Chicago officials to include the program in the larger school-wide reforms that the city started in 1995.
"When this school [Lincoln Park] was first here most people wouldn't send their kids to Lincoln Park," said Mary Enda-Tookey, the IB program coordinator at Lincoln.
In the 1970's Lincoln Park was called Waller High School and undercover cops roamed the hallways. School officials feared the school would be shut down.
Al Dziedzic, IB coordinator at Hubbard, first taught at Lincoln Park, "The IB program served as a basis for turning around what was Waller," he said adding, "It worked."
Lincoln Park 20-years later is a sought-after zip code by the urban middle class, and 450 of the school's 1700 students are enrolled in the IB degree program. The students come from 35 different countries. Many don't speak English at home. A typical biology class at Lincoln Park has students from Romania, Greece, France, Italy, Macedonia and America.
"Students are realizing that while they integrate into American culture they can still hold on to their native language," Enda-Tookey said.
Hubbard is the second fully participating IB high school in the Chicago area. Of the 1600 students in the 9-12 high school, there are 30 juniors, 27 sophomores and 53 freshman in the IB program. This year's juniors will be the first Hubbard students to take an IB exam.
There are 312 schools in the United States that offer IB courses or diplomas, 15 of them are in Chicago.
Hubbard joined Lincoln Park as a fully participating IB school three years ago offering the program to students if they pass a demanding test and interview.
Approximately 43 percent of Hubbard's IB students are Hispanic, 33 percent are white, 17 percent black and 6 percent Asian, according to Dziedzic.
Students in the program earn at least one-year of college credit and graduate with an IB diploma that gives them a better chance of getting into the nation's top universities.
"I wanted to go into a school where I would be challenged," Hubbard Junior Karen Reodica said. She hopes to study molecular genetics at Stanford University.
IB students learn from a curriculum that is based on the way subjects are taught in many foreign countries. The IB organization's headquarters are in Switzerland. It provides the curriculum, assessment and teacher training to over 800 schools in 100 countries.
The curriculum includes 60 subjects and 35 languages. Courses cover history, science, mathematics, literature, geography, economics, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, technology, art and music.
Students sit for a series of six exams in May of their junior and senior years and must prove their writing skills with an independent research project of 4,000 words.
Each student's exams, portfolio and written paper, are sent to an international team of experts for grading. The same standards are applied to all IB schools and there is no grading curve.
Most states have schools with an IB program. The 17 states that do not offer the degree are: Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Idaho, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming, according to the International Baccalaureate Organization (ww.ibo.org).

We've got an exclusive clip from ThinkFilm's Primer, which goes into limited theatrical release on Friday. Click the link below to check it out.
Primer is set in an industrial park set in the industrial park/suburban tract-home fringes of an unnamed contemporary city where two young engineers, Abe and Aaron, are members of a small group of men who work by day for a large corporation while conducting extracurricular experiments on their own time in a garage. While tweaking their current project, a device that reduces the apparent mass of any object placed inside it by blocking gravitational pull, they accidentally discover that it has some highly unexpected capabilities &#Array; ones that could enable them to do and to have seemingly anything they want. Taking advantage of this unique opportunity is the first challenge they face. Dealing with the consequences is the next.
31-year-old Shane Carruth, a former engineer who spent three years teaching himself filmmaking, conceived, wrote, directed, edited, and scored Primer and also plays one of the lead roles. Carruth, who studied mathematics and previously worked in engineering, says that his education helped him realize his vision for the film. "A lot of math isn't just the numbers," he says. It's the fact that there is this problem that is seemingly unsolvable in front of you, and yet if you take it apart, it can be solved." He taught himself screenwriting, directing, cinematography, sound mixing, editing, and acting. "I read a lot of scripts, just to see what they're supposed to look like, and I went to town writing," he adds.
The film was a big hit with audiences at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, winning the Grand Jury Prize and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Award for films dealing with science and technology.

Limited time offer. Offer valid only while supplies last. Apricorn's Aegis Secure Key brings security to your fingertips. This easy to use and USB flash drive incorporates PIN access with military grade
Product Description
Apricorn's Aegis Secure Key brings security to your fingertips. This easy to use and USB flash drive incorporates PIN access with military grade 256-bit AES hardware encryption. With an easy-to-use keypad that is resistant moisture, dust and grit, Secure Key enables you to access the drive with your own unique PIN. There are no software updates or ADMIN rights to contend with, making this drive a breeze to implement in both government and corporate environments. Tested and Validated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Aegis Secure Key is certified to meet the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Level 3 specification. FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation is the cryptography standard required by the US federal government for protection of sensitive data. It covers 11 areas of its cryptographic security system, including physical security, cryptographic key management and design integrity. Drives Validated to the FIPS 140-2 Level specification are required to be used by U.S. government agencies as well as civilian companies in the US, Canada and the United Kingdom that contract to the US government. Using a rechargeable battery, the Aegis Secure Key enables the user to unlock the drive with a 7-15 digit PIN before connecting to the USB port on your computer, tablet or mobile device. The embedded keypad prevents hardware and software key logging attempts to hack your password entered via the host system.Secure Key is ready to go right out of the box. It does not require any software or drivers to be installed and is compatible with PCs, MACs, Linux and embedded systems. Secure Key can be configured with independent User and Admin PINs, making it ideal for corporate and government deployment. If the User forgets their PIN, the drive can be unlocked by the Admin PIN which will then clear the old User PIN and allow the User to set a new PIN.Since Secure Key is unlocked using its own keypad and not the PC keyboard, it is not vulnerable to software/hardware based key-loggers or brute force attacks. In addition the Aegis Secure Key further protects your data with a "Brute Force Hack Defense Mechanism", which deletes the encryption key if the incorrect PIN is entered a total of 10 consecutive times.
Features & Highlights

What a flippin dumbass, elitist! The saddest part of it all. This guy would join the chorus of people who railed against President Obama's comments about, people "not building that by themselves." The interaction took place last summer.
We post the Upworthy piece, because of the extent to which people will sap the good of government programs, and in may cases, look back at others who truly need assistance and scornfully complain or indict.
What's The Dumbest Thing You Could Say To A Congresswoman Who Lost Her Legs In Battle? Um, THIS.
This is especially egregious in light of the fact that it takes most vets an unnacceptably long time to get the help they need for basic services, let alone government contracts. My friend, who is a vet, informed me that many vets don't feel like they can apply at all because their injuries were so mild compared to injuries vets like Rep. Duckworth had. (Said vets have very valid injuries, like PTSD, shrapnel, and brain trauma, etc.) So the world needs to know about guys like this to prevent them from getting away with fraud. I'd love it if you shared and tweeted this. My friends who actually sacrificed in the line of duty would really appreciate it, too.
Delores Duckworth: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You know this hearing is very troubling to me because this case really shows how things can go wrong. I want to support our small business owners as much as possible. I want these set asides to be successful. But I am absolutely appalled by the advantages that have been taken of the system.
Mr. Flohr, I know you cannot discuss Mr. Castillo's case because you would need his permission to discuss his particular case. That's why you could not answer the question earlier. My understanding also is that the VA, VBA specifically, is bound by legislation that says a certain condition has a certain disability rating. For example, a below-the-knee amputation is 40%.
It just is. Correct?
Mr. Flohr: That is correct, ma'am.
Delores Duckworth: So it seems like there is an opportunity here for some legislative fixes to the system. Mr. Chodos, is it true that any rating, even if it's just 5%, would qualify someone for a service connected disability owns business?
Mr. Chodos: So long as they qualify under the VA's rules for service connected disability. That is adequate for the self-certification.
Delores Duckworth: Thank you. Mr. Castillo, how are you? Thank you, for being here today.
Mr. Castillo: I am not well, but you're welcome.
Delores Duckworth: All right. So your foot hurt? Your left foot?
Mr. Castillo: Yes, ma'am.
Delores Duckworth: It hurts. Yeah, my feet hurt too. In fact, the balls of my feet burn continuously, and I feel like there is a nail being hammered into my right heal right now. So I can understand pain and suffering and how service connection can actually cause long-term, unremitting, unyielding, unstoppable pain. So I'm sorry that twisting your ankle in high school has now come back to hurt you in such a painful way, if also opportune for you to gain this status for your business as you are trying to compete for contracts.
I also understand why something can take years to manifest themselves from when you hurt them. I have a dear, dear friend who sprayed Agent Orange out of his Huey in Vietnam who it took 40 years, 40 years for the leukemia to actually manifest itself, and he died 6 months later. So I can see how military service, while at the time you seem very healthy, could 40 years later result in devastating injury.
Can you tell me if you hurt your left foot again during your football career, subsequently to twisting it in high school?
Mr. Castillo: Ma'am, I don't understand the high school . . .
Mr. Flohr: [Generally] prep school.
Mr. Castillo: I apologize.
Mr. Flohr: Post high school.
Delores Duckworth: Post high school. OK. Prep school, before college. Prep school. Did you injure your left foot again after prep school?
Mr. Castillo: I'm not sure I understand the question, ma'am.
Delores Duckworth: You played football in college. Correct?
Mr. Castillo: Yes, ma'am.
Delores Duckworth: As a quarterback?
Mr. Castillo: Yes, ma'am.
Delores Duckworth: Did you hurt, did you injure that same foot again, subsequently in the year since you twisted it in prep school?
Mr. Castillo: Not to my recollection, ma'am.
Delores Duckworth: Not to your recollection. OK. Why didn't you, Mr. Castillo, tell the VA that your doctor's note to them was inaccurate when you knew that it was?
Mr. Castillo: I don't feel that it's inaccurate, ma'am.
Delores Duckworth: OK.
Mr. Castillo: Would you like me to address that?
Delores Duckworth: Yeah. Go ahead.
Mr. Castillo: Yes, ma'am. So one of my doctors submitted the letter. So, as part of the injury, you have to establish that it is chronic and reoccurring. So when I returned home to San Diego, my doctor from San Diego had also, had said that he had treated me for the foot injury that I suffered on active duty. When I moved to Las Vegas, a couple years later, that doctor submitted that he continued to treat me for that left foot, broken foot injury. Finally, when I moved to Virginia, I went to a doctor, and it continued to hurt. And he established that, so Dr. Sam Wilson, who ironically was also stationed at Monmouth . . .
Delores Duckworth: OK. I have to cut you off because I am running out of time.
Mr. Castillo: OK.
Delores Duckworth: I'm sorry.
Mr. Castillo: So I just want to, just, so let me finish. So in talking to Dr. Wilson, who himself is a disabled veteran and very familiar with Monmouth in that his son had went through it himself as well and played football. He actually was the one that talked to me about . . .
Delores Duckworth: OK.
Mr. Castillo:. . . "Hey, this may be something that is connected."
And I believe I told him . . .
Delores Duckworth: So let me, let me . . .
Mr. Castillo:. . . that I was first hurt . . .
Delores Duckworth: I have to cut you off. I have to cut you off.
Mr. Castillo: OK.
Delores Duckworth: This is not an argument. I'm talking.
Mr. Castillo: Yes, ma'am.
Delores Duckworth: I'm up here.
Mr. Castillo: Yes, ma'am.
Delores Duckworth: Let me ask you this. Do you feel that the 30%
rating that you have for the scars and the pain in your foot is accurate to the sacrifices that you've made for this nation?
Mr. Castillo: What . . .
Delores Duckworth: That the VA Decision is accurate in your case?
Mr. Castillo: Yes, ma'am, I do.
Delores Duckworth: You know, my right arm was essentially blown off and reattached. I spent a year in limb salvage with over a dozen surgeries over that time period. And in fact we thought we would lose my arm, and I'm still in danger of possibly losing my arm. I can't feel it. I can't feel my three fingers. My disability rating for that arm is 20%.
In your letter to a government official, I think it's the VBA, Attention
[Gina Mu], you said: "My family and I have made considerable sacrifices for our country. My service connected disability status should serve as a testimony to that end. I can't play with my kids because I can't walk without pain. I talk twice daily pain medication so I can work a normal day's worth. These are crosses, these are crosses that I bear due to my service to our great country, and I would do it again to protect this great country."
I'm so glad that you would be willing to play football in prep school again to protect this great country. Shame on you Mr. Castillo. Shame on you. You may not have broken any laws. We're not sure yet. You did misrepresent to the VBA, but you certainly broke the trust of this great nation. You broke the trust of veterans. Iraq and Afghanistan veterans right now are waiting an average of 237 days for an initial disability rating, and it is because people like you, who are gaming the system, are adding to that backlog so that young men and women, who are suffering from post-traumatic stress, who are missing limbs, cannot get the compensation and the help that they need. And I'm sure you played through the pain of that foot all through college.
Well let me tell you something. I recovered with a young man, a navy corps man, who while he was running into an ambush, where his Marines were hurt, had his leg knocked off with an RPG. He put a tourniquet on himself and crawled forward. He is who played through the pain, Mr. Castillo. You did not. You took advantage of a system. You describe the status, just today, that other companies were using these special statuses as competitive weapons against you. You, who never picked up a weapon in defense of this great nation, very cynically took advantage of the system. You broke the faith with this nation. You broke the faith with the men and women who lie in hospitals right now at Walter Reed, in Bethesda, at Brooke Army Medical Center in Longview. You broke the faith with them. And if this nation stops funding veteran's health care and stops and calls into question why veterans deserve their benefits, it is because cases like you have poisoned the public's opinion on these programs.
I hope that you think twice about the example that you're setting for your children. I hope that you think twice about what you are doing to this nation's veterans who are willing to die to protect this nation. Twisting your ankle in prep school is not defending or serving this nation, Mr. Castillo.
Mr. Chairman, I'm sorry. You have been very indulgent. I yield.
Mr. Issa: I thank the [young lady], and the time was well spent.
I was denied opportunity to enroll in promised "life-time" medial care via the Veterans Administration due to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney's 2003 edict that included earnings requirements. while the Obama Administration raised the earnings restrictions with consideration of earnings and family size, the net-worth provision still stands. Some of us who have worked hard throughout our lives and set aside a bit of a nest-egg, still feel abandoned as the promise of life-time medical coverage factored as integral to our savings strategy.

Hello lovely!ReplyDelete
Just wanted to say I think your hair would look shmamazing brown! Like you said it can always be changed back!
Ps your left sidebar is heaven! x
I think you would really suit darker hair. Maybe just a darker blonde. Sork of like Giselle's hair.ReplyDelete
I keep humming about changing my hair but it's my natural colour now and because it has no dye I think it's in the best condition it has been in years but I think it lacks the depth you get from highlights etc.
Good luch with your interview. I used to temp aswell and it is such a change when you get somehting stable.
- Anonymous8/2/10 12:52 pm
I love LOST but it is so confusing. Some how I've stuck with it. The first episode was good to see all the old characters back together, and Charlie was there :)ReplyDelete
I'm a right dick in the kitchen too when it comes to making cakes. I followed a recipe from a packet of flour and bulked up the measurements myself and that cake was the nicest cake I've ever eaten (modest, I know).ReplyDelete
Give it a bash, it's not hard to go wrong :)
Awww sounds like the perfect weekend hun :) Can't wait to see the pics! I love your hair how it is but always nice to have a change! What colour you thinking? Maybe like a chcolate, glossy brown?ReplyDelete
Love your blog xoxo
Ooh there must be in the water as so many people (myself included) are making the transition from blonde to dark...it's exciting!ReplyDelete
What kind of colour are you thinking?
Hummingbird bakery have a lovely recipe for banana cake...scrummy xx
I think embracing your natural colour will be fun, and if you don't like it then in a coupel of weeks time have some highlights put in. I have a hair appointment on Wednesday and am toying with the idea of changing my colour, naturally I'm just a very dark blonde and I wish I could get back to it - but I don't have THAT much faith in my hairdresser, so I'm still undecided whether to have the same as usual or just suggest that he tries some deeper blondes...! Can't wait to see pictures once you change yours though! xxxReplyDelete
I think blond was awesome on you, but as you said it's expensive and time consuming! I tried to convice my mom to go for a darker color years ago, but she think it's aweful on her - and I think that is just because she used to be a natural blonde when she was young and she just doesn't see herself as a brunette.ReplyDelete
What do you think of the John story? He's a corps on the beach, yet he's into the Temple and then turns out he's also the smoke monster? Do you believe that is the real John? I'm really....LOST now...
I actually thought the smoke moster was Jack's father...
Looking forward to hearing about where you went in West Yorks, I live there so I'm always on the lookout for new things to see/do!ReplyDelete
Fingers crossed you get the job!
Banana bread sounds GOOD. I need to do some baking this week as well.ReplyDelete
I'm working my way through Lost now! I gave up when it left Channel4, but am working through the DVDs, just finished season 3! It's worth it.ReplyDelete
Congrats on the interview :)
- Anonymous8/2/10 4:32 pm
I love being dark haired - I was blonde once (and many other colours aside) but being dark is definitely how I like to be.ReplyDelete
'Boone' chap is in that Vampire Diary programme as a bad guy I think. I've not seen it though. I have stuck through Lost and it's it's too late to give up now. I don't watch much tv usually but I'm looking forward to True Blood season 2 starting soon.
Good luck with the job seeking process!
- Anonymous8/2/10 4:52 pm
brown hair defenitly girl, and your right..it would save you some money:DReplyDelete
u would suit brown, im thinking blonde for myselfReplyDelete
Good luck with the interview
That sign feels like my life at the mo & thats all i think about! (serious huh!?)
- Anonymous8/2/10 5:20 pm
Go for being a brunette again:) Also watched some really good films over the weekend, saw Invictus yesterday, quite good, if you haven't seen it check it out!ReplyDelete
Well done on the interview, I think a darker colour would suit you! xxReplyDelete
I gave up on lost a long time ago hehe. i'd like to catch up on it all one day. maybe a marathon lost week :DReplyDelete
i think dark hair will really suit you ♥
and good luck with the outcome of your interview! xo
I think brunettes are hot! :) Or course I'm not biased at all though....ReplyDelete
Definitely go brown! I think it'd really suit you and coming from a fellow blonde (with a little help from the bottle... not much though, honest!) I can say I truly do think brunettes look classier.ReplyDelete
So excited to see the places you visited over the weekend! I love finding out about new thrifting opportunities. And I want to see your purchases!!
I'm a Lost fan too! Soooooo curious about what the ending is going to be... HOW are they going to explain it all?!? :DReplyDelete
Massive yay for Lost and for having the guts to change your hair - can't wait for the photos! xReplyDelete
Love the idea of you going brunette!! cant wait to see the outcome! just posted a pic of my pug wiggley she was one yr old at the wkend :)ReplyDelete
magpie-girl.blogspot.com xo
you would look lovely with a warm brown shade :D I just took the plunge and went red! definitely the right decision, so go for it!ReplyDelete
mmmm Boone.
I think brown would suit you lovely! You should give it a go :)ReplyDelete
Antique's are amazing. I'm planning on going to a market this Sunday in the hope of finding something special!
Lost I gave up on after season 1. I used to watch it on TV and the advert for every damn episode had a voice over saying 'don't miss the most important episode yet...it will answer all your questions' and it never did!
I could probably watch it if I got the DVD set and watched it one after the other.
mMm banana bread !! i love to bake!!ReplyDelete
I think you'd really suit dark hair - go for it! Otherwise you'll always be wondering 'what if... what would I have looked like?' haha xReplyDelete
OMG I LOVE Ian Somerhalder! When he died in Series 2 I actually cried. Mainly because I knew that he would no longer grace my TV screen every Monday night *sob*ReplyDelete
I'm so happy he's back, and when he made a brief appearance in series 5 I think it was, I rejoiced a bit then too. haha. mmmm.
god i'm obsessed... *mad smile* xx
OMG You have to watch Vampire Diaries, esp if you like Boon from Lost, hes so gorgeous! And he plays a bad boy in it too, which is a bonus!ReplyDelete
I totally lost lost (haha) in like series 3! Lol

It's your little darling's birthday party and despite best intentions, you've found yourself with no trifle shortly before the balloons go up. This cheat's home made trifle can be made in under 90 minutes including chilling time.
Getting the custard to set firm is a crucial step – if you use it straight out of the tin it will be too runny. Instant gelatine will set the custard firm immediately on cooling.
To save further time and washing up you can buy pre-whipped cream from supermarkets – the aerosol variety lacks substance but I won't look down on you if you resort to it.
I make no apology for the ready made jellies. Yes they're more expensive but at what cost sanity? Unless you make instant jellies regularly, there's a risk you'll end up with a bowl of fruity water that refuses to set before the school bell rings.
Before you judge this as unnecessary, consider that most home made trifles with their shop bought jelly and "lady fingers" biscuits are cutting a lot of culinary corners already. Making your own jelly and the sugary biscuits isn't difficult but it's a question of saving time and effort before a party. Setting that essential fruit jelly is what swallows the time.
Admittedly my choice of Rowntrees' Randoms sweeties do not count as a "five a day" so feel free to use real fruit if you're better behaved than me. Raspberries or peaches work well.
Job done. Now has anyone wrapped up for pass the parcel yet?
Emergency Trifle
Serves 8-10
6 pots ready made jelly
6 ladyfingers or "boudoir" biscuits
Chunks of fruit or jelly sweets
1 tin of custard
1 sachet instant gelatine
1 pot whipping cream
Sprinkles of your choice
You will also need a nice big glass dish and an electric mixer.
1. Tear off the lids of the ready-made jellies and tip into a glass dish. Mash the jellies to spread them out.
2. Break up the biscuits and push into the jelly.
3. Repeat with chunks of fruit or jelly sweets.
4. Warm half of the tinned custard on the hob and when heated tip in the instant gelatine. Stir furiously to avoid lumps. If you get lumps it can be successfully pushed through a sieve. Add the remaining half of cold custard and pour into a wide flat dish and leave to cool completely.
5. When the custard has cooled, loosen around the edge of the solid mass with a knife and tip onto the jelly. Don't panic if it breaks, it's going to be covered up.
6. Using a hand held or stand-up electric mixer, whip the cream for several minutes until it thickens. Spread with a wide knife over the surface of the custard making sure you reach the edges.
7. Add sprinkles and serve. No one will ever know the difference.

Danielle Brune Sigler, assistant director and curator for academic programs at the Harry Ransom Center, is a co-curator of the exhibition "The King James Bible: Its History and Influence." Sigler received her Ph.D. in American studies from The University of Texas at Austin in 2002. Her primary areas of research include African American history and American religious history.
In the course of any given day, you might hear someone encouraging a guest to "eat, drink and be merry" or lamenting that there is "no new thing under the sun" or being relieved to have escaped a tough situation by "the skin of my teeth."
You might not recognize, however, that all of these phrases come from the King James Bible. It has been so thoroughly integrated into our everyday speech that we use it without a second thought.
Once you begin looking for it, language from the King James Bible seems to make an appearance just about everywhere.
On campus, the university's Main Building bears the words of the King James Bible, "Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free" (John 8:32), though it omits the initial "and" and modernizes the spelling of the word "Truth" which appears as "Trueth" in the original 1611 printing.
Indeed, most contemporary versions of the King James Bible are beholden to a little-known 1769 revision that modernized the translation and introduced about 16,000 changes to the first edition in 1611.
The Ransom Center's exhibition "The King James Bible: Its History and Influence" offers visitors a glimpse of this translation's unique history, the other English translations and revisions that have affected the appearance of the text today, and the stunning range of its influence.
Writers as disparate as John Milton, Herman Melville, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Adrienne Kennedy and Norman Mailer all relied on the King James Bible whether quoting it directly or mimicking its cadences.
It has also significantly shaped the language of American conflicts and protest. Works from the era of the American Civil War are filled with the language of the King James Bible. Pro- and anti-slavery activists debated the morality of human slavery by quoting Bible passages directly.
A century later, at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech resonated with the language of King James.
To great effect, he invoked Amos 5:24, "But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream," and Isaiah 40:4-5, "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: and the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."
The King James Bible also appears in less expected places, like the tattoos Robert De Niro sports in the 1991 film "Cape Fear" and in the title of Walker Evans and James Agee's 1941 "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men," a stirring portrait of sharecroppers in the midst of the Dust Bowl.
As we examine four centuries of the King James Bible's influence, it becomes clear that it is a book with resonance and meaning that transcends specific faiths and creeds.
The King James translation has left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of English-speaking people throughout the world.
"The King James Bible: Its History and Influence" is the most comprehensive display of Bibles and related materials in the Ransom Center's history. The exhibition runs through July 29.
Learn more about the Harry Ransom Center on the Cultural Compass blog, which gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at exhibitions, acquisitions, researcher and scholarly work, conservation and items from the collections.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) December 05, 2013
The best and brightest new products in the tool industry have been announced, and MountzPro® is among the winners. "Certain manufacturers go the extra mile to add useful and often game-changing innovations to their product offerings," said Clint DeBoer, Executive Director of the Pro Tool Innovation Awards. "These winners deserve a coveted spot in the toolbox of any tradesman, contractor or DIYer." MountzPro was awarded the innovation award for its new True Dual Scale Torque Wrench.
The patented MountzPro click wrench is unlike other torque wrenches that feature two scales. Whether it is a window based scale or body scale torque wrench, other manufacturers may state their wrench is a dual scale tool, however these torque tools are not a "True Dual Scale Wrench." All other torque wrenches with two scales are not usable in the both scales. Due to the design of other "dual scale wrenches," these tools can only be calibrated in one unit of measurement, the primary-scale. The other unit of measurement is only for reference. Trying to set a torque wrench in a unit of measurement that is not the primary scale can be difficult and not accurate.
A panel of judges representing tool professionals from across the United States weighed in on entries from top global manufacturers, and MountzPro was selected as a recipient of this honor. Here's what the judges had to say about MountzPro:
"If you care about accuracy and want a torque wrench that is certified in both metric and SAE scales, then MountzPro's unique True Dual Scale Torque Wrench is a great product."
The tool not only has two scales of measurement, it is also calibrated in both scales. The wrench is designed with a patented torque adjustment system that gives the tool the ability to be accurately set in either scale easily and independently.
With the MountzPro torque Wrench, there is no fumbling around to adjust the torque setting between two different scales. There is no math needed to calculate and convert the torque setting between two metric and imperial systems. The operator gets the correct torque setting every time, because the tool is calibrated for both scales.
The durable MountzPro wrench is built with a strong steel shaft with a high corrosion resistance. The automotive torque wrench also features a bi-directional ratchet head with a push button socket release. The adjustable click wrench features a "Positive Torque Locking Knob", which securely locks the preset torque and prevents accidental adjustment of the torque setting.
Designed and manufactured to meet or exceed the accuracy and repeatability requirements of ISO6789: 2003, MountzPro offers various torque wrench models covering a torque range from 15 up to 1,000 foot-pounds. The tool is supplied with a certificate of calibration. Certified in both scales.
An operator can quickly and easily adjust torque settings. The MountzPro wrench offers an easy-to-read dual scale (American & S.I.) that's protected by a display window. The graduation collar is located on the torque handle. The handle is shaped to provide a firm, ergonomic grip.
Using a quality torque wrench makes a safer world through accuracy and precision. Controlling torque is essential for companies to ensure their product's quality, safety and reliability isn't compromised. The failure of a three-cent fastener that isn't properly tightened can lead to catastrophic or latent failures. Fasteners that are insufficiently fastened can vibrate loose and excessive torque can strip threaded fasteners.

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group, Australia's third-biggest bank, said Thursday its first-half net profit rose 16% to A$2.10 billion (US$1.752 billion) in the six months ended March 31 from A$1.81 billion a year earlier helped by the sale of the bank's vehicle leasing arm, Fleetpartners.
Cash earnings, which exclude one-off items and non-cash accounting items, rose 11.8% to A$1.936 billion. Nine analysts on average had forecast cash profit to be A$1.929 billion.
Australian banks have benefited from 15 straight years of economic growth and three-decade low unemployment. A four-year bull run in stock market and strong flows into pension market have also improved their wealth management businesses.
ANZ reiterated its previous forecast of 7% - 10% revenue growth and 5% - 7% cost growth for fiscal 2007.
"Conditions remain supportive of good growth," ANZ Chief Executive Officer John McFarlane said in a statement. "Looking ahead, the growth we are now seeing from Asia will become more material to the Group."
McFarlane said that the 21% growth in profit at ANZ's retail banking operations was a highlight, but said such growth levels may not be sustainable. "Personal should continue to do well, but may find it difficult to sustain such unusually high levels of growth."
ANZ market value of A$57.56 billion, has revived a push into Asia after reducing exposure to the region following the late 1990s Asian crisis. It has spent about A$1.18 billion buying largely minority stakes in banks from Indonesia to China.
In an interview with CNBC's "Asia Squawk Box", MacFarlene said, "our Asia Pacific business had a very strong performance. It was up 22.7%, which is pretty substantive". McFarlene added that ANZ was growing its institutional business as well as expanding its participate high-growth domestic markets in Asia.
Shares in ANZ -- which earlier this week secured control of online stockbroker E*Trade Australia -- have added 10.6% so far in 2007, outpacing 9.1% rise in the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index in the same period.
Australia's top four lenders, including the biggest bank National Australia Bank and Commonwealth Bank of Australia, dominate the industry, cornering about 80% of the banking assets.

For several years, La Crosse County has contracted with the Salvation Army to provide shelter services to the homeless and the mentally ill. AU received complaints that, at its shelter facility, the Salvation Army regularly held religious services and presented prayers and sermons at meals. We sent a letter to the county explaining that the Constitution prohibits public funds from being used to support any program that includes religious activity, much less one that requires participants to partake of that activity. We asked the county to investigate the program's religious activity and to ensure that its funding of the program did not violate those prohibitions. The county informed us that it had met with the Salvation Army and had made it clear that the shelter services provided by the county were not to be used to support religious activity. The county also will monitor its contract with the Salvation Army by visiting the shelter facility twice per year (once unannounced) and by conducting confidential interviews at least four times per year with persons who are being provided shelter services to determine whether they are being pressured or coerced to attend or participate in religious activities.

How To Tell A Fake Givenchy Antigona Bag: It's Not As Easy As You May Think!Categories:Other Brands
You can already find a guide on how to tell a fake Givenchy Antigona bag here on the blog. But sometimes spotting aGivenchy Antigona replica is really not easy because some of them look great!
And what makes things even more complicated is that authentic designer bags sometimes have flaws too, which can make one extremely confused.
Authentic Givenchy Antigona Bag Crooked Logo
I recently got an email from someone who had found my blog through my post on How to tell a fake Givenchy Antigona bag and who asked me to authenticate her bag. I have to admit this was the most difficult to authenticate Givenchy Antigona I have ever seen!
Almost everything in the previous post on how to tell a fake Givenchy Antigona bag guide checked and it was really difficult for me to believe a Givenchy Antigona replica could be THAT good. But at the same time I just couldn't believe that a real Antigona could have a crooked logo like that!
After all, what's the point of spending that much money on the real deal if it comes with flaws? I mean, it's much easier to understand that fake bags can have some flaws but it's much more difficult to accept it when you've spent thousands of dollars on the real thing.
This is the Givenchy faux leather case all over again. I don't know if you all remember, but at some point the brand released the Givenchy faux leather Antigona bag and many people were appalled by the same reasons I was. First because the Antigona is an iconic style of the brand and second because the price was over $2k. Can you believe that?
While it's great for vegan high end bag lovers to have options as well, the real problem is not with the material but with the pricing. And the truth is that no matter if it's made of full leather or faux leather, the price is decided by the power of the brand, not by the material it's made from. And when a designer bag is overpriced and flawed, I think you have all the right to get upset.
How To Tell A Fake Givenchy Antigona Bag – What To Check
So if a few years ago any how to tell a fake Givenchy Antigona bag guide would have mentioned to check to see if the bag is made of real leather or not, it's not the case anymore. This means there are other details you need to check now if you want to learn how to tell a fake Givenchy bag.
Checking the metal logo is one of the most important steps in any guide on how to tell a fake Givenchy Antigona bag. But what do you say when everything looks good except this particular detail? My friend had her bag authenticated not just by me but by other experts as well. She told me that one of them told her "the fakes are good, but I don't think they're this good". And I agree! But at the same time it's just not acceptable for a real Givenchy Antigona bag to have a logo that looks like this! It is seriously crooked, as you can see from the pictures.
I also noticed that the interior leather tag is too faintly embossed. Honestly, I've seen Givenchy replica Antigona bags with better stamps than that!
There is also a thread on the PurseForum about this. More Givenchy owners have complained that the Givenchy letters on their Antigona bags are not straight.
The bag is authentic, no doubt about that. But this doesn't mean that my friend is feeling any better about her bag. And who could blame her, really? If someone told me they wanted to buy a replica Givenchy Antigona with a logo like this, I would advise against. So just like my friend said, I guess the Givenchy quality control is not that great.
Now look at this other Givenchy Antigona Medium gold hardware that is being sold on eBay right now. Do you think this is real? No, it definitely isn't, so beware!
Besides the metal logo and the interior tag, don't forget what I already mentioned in my previous post on how to tell a fake Givenchy Antigona bag: check the base pads! The stitching should be on the leather patches and they should have the same size. For example, look at this Givenchy Antigona replica from Uncle Bench. Looks great, right?
But then when you look at the bottom you'll easily notice the two base pads are unequal – the one on the left is wider than the one on the right. But which flaw could you rather overlook: a crooked logo or unequal base pads?
Givenchy Antigona Small vs Mini
I've also noticed that people are more into these two Antigona sizes because the Medium is too large for many women. So if you also need a Givenchy Antigona Small vs Mini comparison here is what you should know.
Here are the main differences between the Givenchy Small Antigona bag and the Givenchy Small Antigona bag:
• First of all the dimensions, of course. Different sites show different dimensions for the Small Antigona. But the dimensions are 9.5″ height x 11.0″ width x 7.0″ depth (approximately) with 4.0″ handle drop, 9.5″ strap drop (approximately) or W28 x H23x D17cm with 62cm long strap.
• Even though there are not many style and design differences between the two, the most important difference is that the Givenchy Antigona Mini has adjustable shoulder strap and it can be worn cross-body, while the Small Antigona has shorter strap, like the Medium and cannot be worn across the body.
• The size differences between the Small and the Mini is quite substantial. For you reference, the Givenchy Antigona Mini is to the Antigona Medium what the Celine Nano Luggage is to the Mini Luggage.
There are no other notable features differences except for the strap, so the information on how to tell a fake Givenchy Antigona bag applies to all sizes.
How To Tell A Fake Givenchy Antigona Bag – It's Not Always This Easy!
The thing you need to understand when learning how to tell a fake Givenchy Antigona bag is that not all fakes are as easy to spot as these one below:
So if you're going to learn how to tell a fake Givenchy Antigona bag from a real one, you need to be more prepared than this. Because there are some really good replicas out there. And I'm not saying this like it's a bad thing! But at the same time I know that for some of you it's very important to own authentic designer bags, so I'm trying to help all bag lovers.

The rezoning under Local Law No. 3 of 2014 of the proposed casino parcel is entirely inconsistent with the Town of Tyre's Comprehensive Development Plan, and is the result of a quid pro quo in which the developer agreed to pay the town in excess of $2 million annually in exchange for the Town surrendering its future legislative authority, and a favorable zoning determination for the site of the casino project.New York Law expressly forbids these practices and requires the Court to void the local law.
