A Valentine Birthday
Having a birthday on Valentine's Day can be complicated. I have to contend with all the significant others of the world, but I also kind of get double the love on my birthday. One of the weirdest parts of having a Valentine's birthday is that until this year, I had actually never been out to[…]Read More

On a night in August fifty years ago, two white men in Money, Mississippi, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam, brought a pistol to the door of a black man named Mose Wright and demanded to search his beds for "the fat boy from Chicago." This was Wright's visiting grandnephew, 14-year-old Emmett Till, who a few days earlier had thought it funny to whistle at Bryant's wife. Now, to correct the boy's ignorance of Southern ways, Bryant and Milam yanked him from Wright's house, drove him to a deserted spot, beat and gouged and hacked and shot him and wrapped the corpse in barbed wire and dumped it into the Tallahatchie River.
We have long known these facts. The killers confessed them readily enough, for a fee, to Look magazine, soon after an all-white jury had acquitted them of murder–a verdict that was delayed only long enough for the jurors to enjoy a soda pop. But it has taken until now for us to hear from two others who were tucked into Wright's beds on that night in 1955: Till's cousins, who saw the abduction. It has taken until now to learn about possible accomplices and accessories to the murder, who are still alive and might be open to prosecution.
For this information, we can thank Keith Beauchamp, who in 1996 began to research the death of Emmett Till with the intention of making a documentary. By 2002 he was taking a rough cut to selected audiences and lobbying officials to reopen the case. The Justice Department did just that in May 2004, acting in part on evidence that Beauchamp had uncovered. For those who would like to see this evidence for themselves, and who have not been able to catch the documentary at its handful of special screenings, Beauchamp's The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till is now going into theatrical release with a run at New York's Film Forum, starting August 17.
Of the important documentaries being released this month, Till registers farthest to the left on the raw-to-cooked scale. You watch it for what it tells, not how it does the telling; for what it might accomplish in the world, not for what it is. That's plenty, when you consider the vast impact that Till's lynching had in its time. When you consider that its time is still now–that many of the principals are alive, and that Till today would be all of 64–the significance of Beauchamp's achievement speaks for itself.
And yet it seems to me that The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till is two movies–one an investigative report, the other a portrait–and that the second of them might have been more fully developed. This latter picture could have told us much more about Till's mother, Mamie Till- Mobley, who cooperated with Beauchamp until her death in 2003 and who emerges as the most compelling figure of his documentary, or perhaps of all this year's releases combined.
Gray-haired and plump, she sits on her living-room sofa and patiently inventories the horrors she saw when she insisted that the undertaker open her son's coffin. Her voice neither trembles nor fades as she details the wounds; she speaks with the care and clarity of an old-style high school English teacher. Once or twice, perhaps, she looks away from the camera; but then she recovers, as she explains how she instructed the undertaker to leave the coffin open for the funeral. Although a photograph proves that at one point her legs gave out, archival footage shows that she also was able to stand firm, speaking in the same calm tone that she would later use with Beauchamp. At a distance of fifty years, you still hear the resolve she brought to the task she imposed on herself: to make a Mississippi sheriff give up her son's corpse; to force herself to study the body; and then to put the mangled, rotting thing on view, so that her private grief might be changed into a public purpose.

Recently during a conversation with a friend, the topic of discussion became "What are you afraid of?" I thought long and hard. I am not afraid of animals. Nor am I afraid of the dark. What I am afraid of is complacency. I'm afraid of being satisfied. In my mind, being satisfied is the equivalent to giving up or quitting. I feel that my overall goal should be so lofty that it continues to push me out of my comfort zone throughout my life. One accomplishment does not define one's life. I believe that success is a constant, continual process, not a single moment in time.
I first realized my belief while playing a football game during 9th grade. I had just made a big play for my team, and I was probably more proud of myself than my mom was, which was tough competition. I looked up to my uncle and mouthed, "Did you see that?" He confirmed that he had, without much emotion, and the game continued. I continued to play the game with that play still on my mind. A few moments later I made a mistake which resulted in a significant gain for the opposing team. This time when I looked up to my uncle, he was the one who was smiling. He yelled down to me, "You're only as good as your last play!" This quote has guided me ever since. I let one triumphant moment in my life give me a big head. While my ego swelled, my performance suffered. I had become complacent. Being happy with where I was prevented me from taking a step further and continuing to improve and do well.
After the game, I began to use my newly founded belief throughout all aspects of my life. I realized that one accomplishment in life doesn't make you successful. It is the idea of stringing together as many accomplishments as you can that will lead to success. It didn't take long for me to understand that this could be applied not only to sports but also to school, to work, to hobbies, and to social life. It is important to see improvement, but it is more important to use that as motivation to continue to get better and accomplish more each day. I fear the idea of being a "one hit wonder' or a "has been." To prevent that, I remind myself to believe that I can always do better. There is always something to improve.
This idea has made me worker harder in all aspects of my life. Through my hard work I have seen many changes in myself. Besides achieving better results in school and sports, I have also seen my work ethic and attitude improve as well. The idea of success being a long term process has pushed me to work harder and establish higher, loftier goals for me to work toward. It has allowed me to improve daily and has resulted in me becoming a better person.

A few days ago, I had the rare opportunity to engage with some of the most renowned sociologists in this country. After decades of leaving the Department of Sociology of the University of Ghana, I had the chance to once again see some of the lecturers who I greatly admired.
The Department of Sociology had tried to form an alumni association many years ago. It has not been easy; everyone is busy, "times are hard" some will say, and there are so many competing demands. We all know that where there is a will there is a way. The alumni meeting was initiated and launched and it was a very successful program.
It was nostalgic as we saw lecturers who taught us so many years ago. Even though a few are no more, the greater majority are still strong and active. It was such a delight to see Emeritus Professor G.K. Nukunya, Prof Senah, Dr Ohene Konadu, Prof Abotchie and good old Mends amongst the people who showed up. Indeed Prof. Nukunya was very instrumental in getting the alumni homecoming event initiated. Both men who are in their 80's and other lecturers who are in their 70s and 60s generally looked strong after decades of teaching. There must be a co-relation between lecturing/teaching and youthfulness because all the lecturers still looked very good. They didn't look stressed or worn out. Prof Nukunya drove to the event himself and looked just the same like he did in the early 90s.
An active alumni association could be a great assert to any school. It provides the usual bonding and great networking opportunities for its members. It can also be used to refresh students' knowledge about new trends in their practice and serve as a platform for the discussion of relevant topical issues. Most importantly, an alumni can help in addressing some of the pressing challenges the school has. At the event, the organizers intimated that the group would also act as a platform to advocate for social policy formulation. The Head of Department of the Sociology Department, Rev. Prof Okyerefo emphasized this during his welcome address. He called for the setting up of a Sociology Research fund. I think this is absolutely important.
As is typical of universities, the homecoming was held with two lectures. I was initially apprehensive about how two lectures could be held at one sitting and within two hours, but it worked. The first lecture was delivered by Prof. Ernest Dumor, a renowned Sociologist and father of the late international broadcaster, Komla Dumor. He spoke on the topic "The Relevance of Sociology in Career Development, the case of Komla Dumor". It was very emotional as Prof Dumor recounted how Sociology influenced his son's career and equipped him to have an enquiring mind and a philosophical orientation. He spoke about the methodical approach he used in his assignments to arrive at logical conclusions and how he used research to seek for facts. He admonished journalists and all professionals to read widely and equip themselves. The lecture revealed the strong love and bond that existed between the father and his son and how they both influenced each other. The lecture, though brief made a case for the relevance of Sociology in modern times. It is my wish that many people will have the opportunity to study this important course.
Prof Kodjo Senah delivered the second lecture on an equally interesting topic which every young professional needs to hear. He spoke about some of the health risks of young professionals. Indeed young professionals of today face a lot of health risks. The anxiety of travelling long distances in traffic to and from work, the challenges of meeting high targets in the office, the desire to be promoted and the efforts at getting all the basic necessities of life all add to the stress of young people. Whilst young successful professionals go through a lot of stress you can imagine the kind of stress unemployed graduates go through. All these challenges are enough to give most young people high blood pressure and other related diseases. So whether you have a job or not there is stress in every situation and all you need to do is to find a workable efficient coping mechanism.
The two topics were well delivered and laced with a lot of practical examples that made them engaging and exciting. The event ended with the selection of a seven member interim executive and an official launch of the alumni and association.
If you are wondering what the study of Sociology can do for you, please read about it. The internet makes learning very easy and I believe your research will get you to uncover and discover a lot about this important area of study. Sociology has indeed broadened my world view and opened up my mind to many things. I still treasure the memories of some my favorite courses: Gender Studies, Rural sociology, Criminology, Industrial Sociology, Social Psychology, theories of Development and Underdevelopment and many more.
If I were a Sociology lecturer I will be so proud to see the impact I have made in the lives of my former students who are excelling in their various fields of work.

Students will be in their temporary classrooms at Parsley starting Wednesday.
Four classes of Bellamy Elementary School fifth-graders will be attending school at Parsley Elementary for the foreseeable future after mold was discovered in the mobile units their classes are housed in, according to a New Hanover County School District press release.
Test results that came back late Tuesday showed the presence of mold in the four units, and the district will shut them down for up to 60 days while they solve the problem.
Students, meanwhile, will be in their temporary classrooms at Parsley starting Wednesday.
The fifth-graders will meet each morning at Bellamy by 7:30 a.m. and be transported to Parsley. They'll be returned to Bellamy by 2:30 p.m., according to the release.
While they're at Parsley, the Bellamy students will be taught by their usual teachers and remain under Bellamy's administration.
"We regret any inconvenience this move may cause to the families involved, however we are doing this in the best interest of the students," said Bill Hance, assistant superintendent of operations, in the release.
Parents will be able to ask questions and voice concerns during meetings at 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at Bellamy, 70 Sanders Road.
If they can't attend the meetings, parents are encouraged to call Bellamy at (910) 350-2039.

For people looking to support their cellular health, and their overall well-being as a result, Elysium Health has created a supplement called Basis. The company's founder, and its chief scientist, is Dr. Leonard Guarente. Throughout his career he has conducted research on the genetic and molecular causes of aging while working at MIT. Along with his fellow scientists, Dr. Guarente has put over 25 years worth of research into what has become Basis once he established Elysium Health in 2014.
The Science Behind Basis
Some of our essential cellular functions tend to function less optimally as we get older. This can is thought to be partially attributed to the decline of NAD+ in our cells. NAD+ is a critical coenzyme that helps with many vital cellular functions like energy creation, circadian rhythms, DNA protection, and others. Basis works to increase levels of NAD+ in our cells and support our cellular health as a result.
First-in-Humans Study
To demonstrate that Basis could indeed increase NAD+ levels within the body, Elysium Health conducted a clinical trial in 2016. The study had a total of 120 participants drawn from both genders that were all between the ages of 60 and 80. The participants were divided into three groups, with one taking a placebo, one taking the recommended dose of Basis, and one taking a double dose.
The findings concluded that those who took the recommended dose of Basis over the course of four weeks saw an average increase in NAD+ levels of 40 percent. The increase was sustained at eight weeks.
Recommended Use
Basis is designed for long-term use. Elysium Health recommends you take two tablets of the supplement per day. You can purchase Basis on the company's website. An individual jar of Basis contains 60 tablets and costs $60. Monthly subscriptions to the supplement are available and those bring the price per jar down to between $40 and $50.
Those with dietary restrictions will be encouraged to know that Basis is vegetarian, vegan, gluten- and nut-free, and contains no artificial additives or colors.

London midwife's blog offers window into Southwestern Ontario's Amish world
She's delivered babies by the light of a kerosene lamp and been paid with eggs and vegetables for her services.
London midwife Kathi Wilson has been delivering babies for almost two decades, working with Southwestern Ontario's Old Order Amish settlements for 17 years.
Recently, she launched a blog about her experiences with the two main Amish settlements near London — one by Tillsonburg, another close to Aylmer.
"There are a lot of misconceptions about the Amish," said Wilson, who works with Thames Valley Midwives.
"They certainly live a unique lifestyle and I thought it would be interesting to write about what their lives are like. Most of us don't get to know how they live from day to day, and I've been watching for 17 years."
In contrast to recent reality-TV portrayals of the Amish — often negative — Wilson's blog captures details that are touching, ordinary and sometimes hilarious.
"They're fascinated that people are fascinated about them," Wilson said. "They're curious. They're acutely aware about what's out there. It's interesting because they're cheek by jowl with modern life, but they're not part of it."
Request for midwifery care from the Amish is often done by mail — a letter might arrive, asking Wilson to stop in — or by word-of-mouth, with someone telling the visiting midwives a woman needs a "checkup" — a sure sign she's pregnant.
To summon a midwife for a birth, a husband will borrow a non-Amish neighbour's phone or, in one settlement, use a communal phone.
Wilson said her practice has delivered about 200 babies in the Amish settlement in Norwich over the last 17 years.
When a birth must happen in a hospital, the midwives often act as cultural ambassadors for the Amish families, for whom English is a second language — and who live without mirrors, electricity and, in some cases, running water.
"Imagine going from that to a brightly lit hospital in London," Wilson said. "It's sensory overload."
In one case, nurses put a mirror into the crib of a baby born in hospital — but mirrors are forbidden in Amish culture, used only by men when they shave. A midwife had the mirror removed.
The Amish shun government assistance, opt out of the Canada Pension Plan and Ontario health benefits, and therefore sometimes "pay" the midwives in produce and poultry.
There are things modern society can learn from the Amish, Wilson said.
"We can certainly learn from them about post-partum care. Amish women work, and they work hard — they have large gardens, they work in the barn, besides all the cooking and laundry — but when they have a baby, they get a hired girl, someone about 14 years old, who will be there for six weeks doing the cooking and cleaning and other work," Wilson said.
"There's an idea that the women have to rest postpartum that we certainly don't have in our culture. We have these 'supermom' expectations."
The Amish also have a very different view of medical care, different than the Western philosophy of "everything that could be done, should be done," Wilson said.
"If a child gets sick, they will get treatment, but there are certainly discussions about what's best for the family, does it cause suffering, and accepting what God gives you."
The family is the centre of Amish life.
"I see people in relatively intimate situations — giving birth — and although there is definitely a patriarchal structure to the group, it's not oppressive in a way that you'd think," Wilson said.
"During labour, the husbands are rubbing their wives' back, holding hands, being loving. The women have input into what's going on in the life of the house and the life of the family. I've seen some wonderful relationships between men and women."

SW Ontario Amish
- Biggest settlements are east of Aylmer and near Tillsonburg.
- Ontario is the only province with Amish settlements (with larger settlements in the U.S.)
- Each settlement sets its own rules; the settlement near Aylmer has slightly more technology, including running water and generators. Tillsonburg settlement is bigger. A third settlement, near Putnam Rd., is smaller.
- Don't believe in government assistance, so don't collect social benefits, pay into CPP or OHIP.
- Aylmer community was founded by families from Ohio in the 1950s.
- Shun technology, mirrors, photos
Midwives in Ontario
- Since 1994, midwives are completely covered by OHIP
- Provide care during pregnancy, labour and the first six weeks after a baby is born
- Can deliver babies at home or in hospital, where they have admitting privileges (like MDs)
- Thames Valley Midwives serves women in London, and Middlesex, Oxford and Elgin counties.
Blog excerpts
"As we do our rounds, we are always astounded at how quickly the news of a birth has spread (the Amish men joke that they don't have telephones, but they do have 'tell-a-woman')."
"Amish girls learn to care for babies very early in their lives and, as a consequence, even first time mothers are well-versed in the arts of diapering a baby (cloth is generally always used, in the old-fashioned folded method), and bundling, bathing and soothing. There's always someone around to assist in the care."
"Despite the traditional patriarchal relationships in Amish culture, their marriages are not arranged, and they do fall in love and court before they marry. This woman's husband, a lean, sinewy farmer, unfailingly and lovingly held her and rubbed her back during her contractions and helped her through her labour."
"There's a separate little privy for the women (and non-squeamish midwives). Did I mention that this settlement has no indoor plumbing? There is no running water, other than that provided by a handpump in the kitchen or a tap that draws water with the assistance of a Beatty pumper (that would be a windmill, for those of you not familiar) . . . Water is heated in a large metal cylinder heated by wood fire."
"Light in this settlement is provided exclusively by kerosene oil lamps (lovely glass lamps with a wick) . . . They give a lovely warm glow, bright enough to conduct a birth. The Amish in this group aren't opposed to flashlights, however (and I have several to light my way in) and headlamps are ubiquitous."
"You might remember the great northwestern blackout of 2003 (which affected all of Ontario and the northwestern U.S.). Concerned that our pagers might not work, with the jamming of wireless systems, we went down to let the Amish women who were due how best to contact us. They were blissfully unaware that anything major was going on (at least, until the less-prepared English neighbours came over asking for flashlights . . .).
Letter that arrived, by snail mail, in a pre-stamped envelope Thames Valley Midwives practice sends to clients with feedback forms: "Dear Kathi, Greetings of Love to you this morn. I would like you to stop in please, I think I'm pregnant. See ya soon."

Bastien's Higher Power
June 7, 2017
2013's BATB 6 paired Moose against Bastien Salabanzi in the first round. Bastien put up a valiant fight but ultimately lost the match. In the heat of the battle, Bastien explored his role in the universe: having attributed his earlier nollie frontside flip to divine providence, he bargained with his maker, saying, "If I make this one, then I believe in God." Granted, the Lord works in mysterious ways… but not this time. As John Cleese would say, "Thank you so bloody much, Zeus!" Watch the original battle here.

The Dodgers just sort of slipped this one in there, a move of no obvious import.
They claimed outfielder Mike Baxter from the Mets, and made room for him on the 40-man roster by designating outfielder Alex Castellanos for assignment.
Castellanos, ironically, came to the Dodgers from the Cardinals in 2011 for shortstop Rafael Furcal.
It's a lateral move that doesn't figure to have long-range impact, the outfield being the one position in which the Dodgers are well-stocked.
Castellanos is 27, so it's not like he's a major prospect. He had a somewhat disappointing season at triple-A Albuquerque (.257, 19 home runs and 14 doubles in 105 games). He appeared in eight games with the Dodgers and hit .171 with two homers and four RBIs.
Baxter, 28, has appeared in 194 major league games with the Padres (2010) and Mets (2011-13), hitting .229 with 22 doubles, four triples, four homers and 26 RBI. He's appeared at all three outfield positions, and can play a little first base.
His best upside would be to make the club next season as a backup outfielder, but don't count on it.
If no deal is made for Castellanos he will be waived, and if he goes unclaimed, he could still return to Albuquerque, just as Scott Van Slyke did last year.

What is the problem?

|There is a missing system dll, imm32.dll I think, that Lgi.dll depends on and doesn't come installed on '95. I stopped supporting '95 quite a while ago. Although I suspect that if you can find something to install imm32.dll (far eastern input method editor) then you'll get it working.

The idea that science would one day find what they are ultimately searching for is God so to speak.
"That things are only a copy of Numbers; nay, that in some mysterious way, Numbers are things themselves (1)"
The dark side however? There is always a dark side it seems. We are hearing now more often than I can remember the idea that to reach a balance in filling our needs and the Earths ability to do so, the artificial reduction of our population may be necessary. Survival of the fittest I guess. Reaching the top of the mountain only to fall and come rolling back down. If I'm making any sense at all.
Somewhere inside the digits of pi is a representation for all of us -- the atomic coordinates of all our atoms, our genetic code, all our thoughts, all our memories. Given this fact, all of us are alive, and hopefully happy, in pi. Pi makes us live forever. We all lead virtual lives in pi. We are immortal. (3)
We are instead of reaching for the stars retreating backwards and abandoning our once zealous pursuit of knowledge of the Universe and discovery for matters of survival. We are forgetting it was these pursuits that brought us to this level. I'd think this would lessen our chances of advancing quickly enough that we survive long enough to advance further around this loop you are describing.
We also have the issue some cultures are on a different part of the journey than others. At any time one group could wipe out the progress being made by a more advanced culture.
I hope I'm making some sense?

For something to be a moral choice there must be some loss, therefore if scarcity is not an issue there is no chance for loss because everything is overly abundant. Thus scarcity encapsulates all of morality. So it would be over-reaching on my part to say they are one in the same thing.
In many ways this is interesting because it means man can fundamentally continue to explore and grow without necessitating greed, excessive competitiveness, and other baser imperatives. However the removal of the component of our psych that motivates us to behave this way may in fact decrease our species survivability and growth.
Thus removing this component of our fundamental being should only be considered when we reach the stage of a type 3 civilization because at that point nothing will be capable of eradicating our species.(1)

America's biggest crop, grain corn, is completely unpalatable. It is raw material for an industry that manufactures food substitutes. Likewise, you can't eat unprocessed wheat. You certainly can't eat hay. You can eat unprocessed soybeans, but mostly we don't. These four crops cover 82 percent of American cropland. Agriculture in this country is not about food; it's about commodities that require the outlay of still more energy to become food.
About two thirds of U.S. grain corn is labeled "processed," meaning it is milled and otherwise refined for food or industrial uses. More than 45 percent of that becomes sugar, especially high-fructose corn sweeteners, the keystone ingredient in three quarters of all processed foods, especially soft drinks, the food of America's poor and working classes. It is not a coincidence that the American pandemic of obesity tracks rather nicely with the fivefold increase in corn-syrup production since Archer Daniels Midland developed a high-fructose version of the stuff in the early seventies. Nor is it a coincidence that the plague selects the poor, who eat the most processed food.

That didn't mean I was very pleased to start receiving Martha Stewarts Food Magazine instead of getting my money back. How is a magazing full of recipes I can get for free a good replacement for eye candy like Blueprint?? But I digress...
But now I hear Domino is going out of business? Can someone explain this to me? That entire magazine is one big advertisment. And its hugely popular. Anyone who is a magazine junkie like me subscribes to it. So double ka-ching for them. Are they burning $5 bills in a bonfire over there?
In all seriousness, Im sad to hear about this. Domino was always a little too trendy for me to apply most of their styling into my own home but doesn't mean I didn't read it cover to cover. You will be missed.
Are there any good magazines left?

I was so sad when I heard about this I called my husband. At work. he was not impressed.ReplyDelete
LivingEtc (UK pub, but easy to find in NYC) is fantastic.ReplyDelete
This is sad and sad times.ReplyDelete
I read that several other magazines are also ceasing to be published.
The list includes Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion, Oprah's O Home, Cottage Living and Country Home...to name a few.
While none of these are your style, I urge you and everyone to keep track of your subscription expiration dates and check the magazine web site to see if the magazine has ceased to exist.
Like I commented elsewhere today, there are so many design blogs, I never really pic up a magazine now a days. People are getting inspiration from other peoples homes for free.ReplyDelete
I JUST subscribed to Domino...grrrrrr! I heard that it's subscribers are going to get Lucky instead. Great. I was given that magazine subscription as a gift and NEVER read it. So, now I'm going to get two a month? Super.ReplyDelete
Livingetc, and I know I'm one of the few people that still likes House Beautiful (though judging by the flimsy Feb issue that may be next to go).ReplyDelete
Oh...and National Geographic. Still good after all these years. :-)
Agreed that Domino was a little "out there" in the last year or so. When it started, it was creative and stylish, but the items also seemed to work for those on a modest budget. Over time, it became an ode to expensive, mid-century modern design. There were still cool ideas here and there, but the hipster vibe has been a wee bit too strong for many of the last few years.ReplyDelete
What's this you say?!?!?!?! I too was devastated at the demise of Blueprint and I just renewed my darn Domino sub! What the heck is going on??? There aren't going to be any good ones left! I did not know this...I'm sad.ReplyDelete
Yeah, this has been a big announcement lately, heard it a couple weeks ago. I wasn't a subscriber & it's a little too trendy for me too, but I enjoyed checking it out.ReplyDelete
I just started a new 2 year sub. to House Beautiful, only $15. I really like that one & can't wait to start getting it.
Only the European ones I think - hopefully they will stay in business. Reading on line is just not the same as a good flick through a favourite magazine. Love your blog, xv.ReplyDelete
So many are going today...........Rats-!! But, for those who saved their issues of Domino may I suggest you frame them, individually, and hang them in your laundry room. I did with "George".ReplyDelete
Another vote here for Livingetc. It's THE best home decor mag (in my humble opinion!!) I buy it every month without even flipping through it first -- every issue is packed with great stuff :-)ReplyDelete

It's been a little over a month since Google Reader was discontinued and even now, there are people who aren't quite sure what the best program or application is to use.
Personally, I've never been big on using readers because I'm old school in the sense that I like the full exposure to the website. I can certainly understand why RSS feeds are valuable and I'd be remiss to say I don't have one on here myself, but my preference is to simply read my content from the website.
Despite that, I can sympathize with those who valued what Google Reader had to offer. It made it easy to keep up with the content you were actively interested in and it didn't require that you physically go to numerous websites to keep up with your favorite writers.
Here is a list of 5 FREE RSS readers that the Google Reader site lists as alternatives:
Feedly: Feedly is a better way to organize, read and share the content of your favorite sites. It weaves the content from the RSS feeds of your favorite websites into a fun magazine-like experience and provides seamless integration with social networks.
Inforeader: Fast RSS Reader for power users with Search, HTTPS, Statistics, Internal social features (with option to turn them off), Android App and iOS Apps integration via open API.
NewsBlur: A personal news reader that brings people together to talk about the world. It shows you the original site and allows you to read stories directly off the site while keeping track of what you read.
The Old Reader: The Old Reader is a web based RSS reader, something like Google Reader. Import existing subscriptions, find Facebook friends and more.
Feedspot: A Great Alternative to Google Reader. Offers awesome productivity features like Search, RSS feeds for your starred items, tags & folder. You can share on Twitter, Pocket, Evernote, Bufferapp and other applications.

April 22nd – On this day in 1662, one Joseph Greenhalgh wrote in a letter to Samuel Crompton:
"Lately … I lighted upon a learned Jew with a mighty bush beard, … with whom … I fell into conference … ; at which time he told me that he had special relation as Scribe and Rabbi to a private Synagogue … in London, and that if I had a desire to see their manner of worship … he would give me such a ticket, as, upon sight thereof, their porter would let me in … . When Saturday came, … I … was let … in … ,, but there being no Englishman but myself, … I was at first a little abashed to venture alone amongst all them Jews, but my innate curiosity to see things strange … made me confident … . I … opened the inmost door, and taking off my hat (as instructed) I went in and sate me down among them; but Lord … what a strange … sight was there … [as] would have frightened a novice … . Every man had a large white … covering … cast over the high crown of his hat, which from thence hung down on all sides, … nothing to be seen but a little of the face; this, my Rabbi told me, was their ancient garb, used in divine worship in … Jerusalem … : and though to me at first it made altogether a strange … show, yet me thought it had in its kind, I know not how, a face and aspect of venerable antiquity ".
For more on Jewish London up to the time of the Great Fire of 1666, see our March 16th blog on the subject.

A miniature 5cl bottle of this rose-hued tipple. A mainstay of kitchen gardens across Scotland and intensely flavoured, rhubarb is the ideal ingredient for a sweet gin liqueur.
Freshly picked spring-crop rhubarb is spiked with Oriental ginger and infused with the classic Edinburgh Gin. The rhubarb and spice are left to steep for four weeks, allowing for the complex flavours to marry together.
This liqueur's sweetly-spiced notes are a great counterpoint to richer aromatics such as candied ginger, lemongrass, and cardamom, making it an interesting ingredient for a variety of Summer Cocktails or Winter Warmers.

About Me
I live in a small college town in Oregon. I am divorced and work at the university as a web programmer. I like to remodel houses, play around with Drupal, a content management system, and design Direct Instruction curriculum on http://en.wikibooks.org and http://en.wikiversity.org.
In the long term, I would like to acquire a small building between Portland and Eugene to house an "Autism Center."
No such resources exists in Oregon.
When my son was born, he had minor jaundice. The doctors put him under Bilirubin lights for treatment. This caused his body to react as if there was a bacterial infection. Looking at him in the neonatal intensive room, it looked odd to have such a big, healthy looking baby among others. Nevertheless, the hospital got approval for hepatitis B shot the day after he was born. It was a bad start to already poor odds.
After a month, I knew something was a little off. He didn't babel as much as other infants, his eye contact was poor, and he did not imitate or react to the typical goofy faces parents make at their infant. Nevertheless, he was cute and according to his pediatrician "had a good grip and looked healthy." The shots continued - even chicken pox by his first birthday.
By his second birthday, we moved. I noticed he seemed to have lost the ability to imitate the sound of a couple of animals ("what does a dog say?"). I chalked it up to the move.
My son began to attend a corporately run preschool. Here, the staff noted, "He doesn't have the skills of other children his age." The preschool advised to get an evaluation from our Early Intervention services - hey, it was free and better to be safe than sorry.
Early Intervention diagnosed my son with "delayed speech." After 6 months of play-speech therapy, the EI folks called us in. "He's not making as much progress as we hoped. We would like to get him evaluated for autism."
We were devastated. My son's father was in denial while I knew. I grieved for a few weeks until I decided I better do something.
My son received services from Early Intervention. At first he attended a group speech and social program. In learning about Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we decided he would not get the intensive and quality treatment he needed. We advocated to have an Early Intervention aide placed in his preschool.
Although this was a common scenario in my area, what wasn't common was the additional therapists I hired to provide one-to-one therapy at the pre-school's sick room. We funded 10 to 20 hours of extra therapy per week. The results were staggering. Lack of true structured therapy from Early Intervention alone will not get results that are absolutely important at an early age. Maybe one day that will change.
Early on, he went through several Early Intervention aides - 4 in a 10 months. Early Intervention was struggling to hire, train, and retain aides. In my town, and across Oregon, Early Intervention aides are hired off the street, paid poorly as temporary workers, and treated badly with hardly any supervision or support. Unfortunately, my son and his classmates suffered. We discussed moving and home schooling as our frustration grew monumentally.
By kindergarten, he was far behind in all skills: reading, writing, coloring, numbers, play skills, and social skills. Yes, he could dress himself and he had potty trained years almost 2 years earlier but he was out of place in the classroom. His teacher stayed the same for three years and behaviors often got in the way of learning and socializing. Behavior analysis is not something regularly practiced in the classroom and because of that, he struggled.
Fortunately our home therapists use Direct Instruction curriculum (SRA DI) to work on his basic academic skills. During holidays and summer, he received almost full time academic and social skills training. Without the team of caring, careful, and loyal therapists, CK would not be where he is today.
My son continues in the same school with different teachers. He still has some issues and I see early adolescence in the near horizon. I sometimes look back and sense the old days of being on hyper alert for safety or depressed from comparing my son to his typical peers. I look at my son with awe. He works so hard to get where he is. He has school after school where we teach math facts, writing, and spelling. The school has taken on the Direct Instruction reading and math and that has been extremely helpful.

Hi I am looking for other mom's that have special needs children
Hi my name is Steffanie. I live in central oregon and I am looking to connect with other mom's out there that have special needs kiddos. My son is 4 1/2 yrs old. He goes to EI. and is going to summer school once a week.
I personally would like to connect with other moms that are going thru what we are going thru as well.
If you could write me back when you get some time that would be greatly appreciated ..
Thank you and Have a great Day,

Hi Steffanie, We live in
Hi Steffanie,
We live in the Portland area, and would love to connect with other families on common ground also. Our son is 4, and was recently diagnosed on the educational side as having autism. Right now, our mission is to comprise a comprehensive plan to best help him. He is a joy, and we are so lucky to share our lives with him.
I heard someone say once that special needs kiddos are only given to parents who can endure the challenge; that gives me great strength,and I reflect upon it often.
My time is up for now, but I will check back soon.
Best Thoughts,

Kickstart This: 'White Walls Say Nothing,' a Documentary About the Power of Street Art
One of the great things about Kickstarter is that it provides a venue of exposure for films that you may never hear about otherwise. Case in point White Walls Say Nothing, a documentary about street art in Buenos Aires.
Now, you're probably asking yourself why you should even care about Argentinian street art. This isn't another Exit Through the Gift Shop looking at the evolution of art and commercialism. This is a documentary about how one city has spent years using graffiti to symbolize freedom of expression under a government that regularly alternated between democracy and dictatorship.
The filmmakers behind it have actually been filming for two years already, so this isn't a project that needs help getting off the ground, it just needs help crossing the finish line. You can check out the first trailer for the film below, and even if the subject matter doesn't interest you, at the very least you'll be treated to an eyeful of incredible artwork, some of which you can actually buy from the White Walls Say Nothing Kickstarter page.
Movies.com, the ultimate source for everything movies, is your destination for new movie trailers, reviews, photos, times, tickets + more! Stay in the know with the latest movie news and cast interviews at Movies.com.

President Suharto's economic achievements cannot hide the growing world concern over the reported massive denial of human rights in East Timor. Brutality is said to take place in the former Portuguese colony, and reports continue of food shortages resulting from Indonesian military operations. With 84 members of the United States Congress calling for a full inquiry as well as for discussions on self-determination for the people of East Timor, Mr. Reagan should feel no constraints in raising the issue with the Indonesian leader.
Unfortunately, President Suharto has not allowed journalists to travel freely in East Timor. He also is charged with delays in accepting aid from international relief organizations - a fact that tends to lend credibility to the most dire reports. He could resolve the issue by:
* Letting international relief agencies keep permanent representatives in East Timor;
* Permitting Timorese villagers to leave ''resettlement centers'' set up by the Indonesians and resume their traditional ways;
* Allowing those Timorese waiting to reunite with family members in Australia and Portugal to leave East Timor;
* Agreeing to an internationally negotiated settlement that would guarantee Indonesia's legitimate security concerns while providing the people there with the political rights to which they are entitled.
It would be a pity if the Indonesian leader failed to address this matter and thereby let it overshadow the better features of his rule - including the quick assistance given to thousands of Indochina boat people who have landed on Indonesian shores in recent years. In fairness, it can be remembered that his government did make a genuine effort to negotiate a settlement with the Portuguese over East Timor. It can also be understood how sensitive the Indonesian military is to subversive elements that could once again plunge the country into political chaos.
But there is never any excuse for atrocities or for general mistreatment of a people. President Suharto should want to make sure that these do not occur and do not mar the gains he has made in other areas.

|Hank Williams was born on September 17, 1923
I'm not a fan of country music, especially not most current styles. But old time county tunes are welcome at Paideia. And my favorite performer of that genre is Hank Williams. His music has a bittersweet authenticity that makes it timeless and accessible. Yeah, it may not be my "thing" but I'd be a blockhead to not appreciate it as a superb expression of the essence of country music.
It's amazing to consider the influence Hank Williams had upon American music and reflect on the fact that he died at the age of 29 years. It's sad imagining how much music he still had in him to share with the world. But the fine music that he left behind serves as a testament to his immense talent and musical genius.
|Hank Williams had 35 singles place in the Top 10 of the Country & Western charts.
Let's listen to some music.
The title of this post is a quote from the final single that was released during his life "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive". It's my favorite Hank Williams song.
Here are some of his most famous songs:
And here are a few more that I like:

Loving Our Neighbors
Jesus calls his disciples to be his witnesses starting in their home base of Jerusalem and going out from there to the areas of Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).
We believe we are likewise called to be witnesses through loving our neighbors in giving and in service to others starting in our home base of Safford and going out from Safford to Graham County, Arizona, the United States and to the ends of the earth.
The tabs for "neighbors nearby", "neighbors a bit beyond us", and "neighbors far away" describe some of the ministries that we participate in, donate to, or lead as our faithful witnessing and loving our neighbors near and far.

Happy New year to all traders!!! NIFTY can't have given you better beginning than this. Rather we can say Europe made our Diwali. Now you might be thinking what next on NIFTY?? NIFTY chart has turned towards bullish counter after good sessions last week. MACD has been showing strong positions of the bulls. We could see "Double Bottom" breakout on the NIFTY at 5172 which I had been mentioning as a important level before my break from Blog. Now we have two strong resistance at 5450 which is a trend-line resistance from previous tops and then at 5610-5624 which is the tgt for double bottom breakout and important resistance line two. We may see a pull back once from 5450 to 5200 to fill up the gap and then nifty might rally towards 5610. Stochastic has already reached the overbought zone while RSI has been approaching overbought zone. Keeping the technical aside, we have positive news flowing in the market. Greece debt has given 50% hair-cut. Its sounds good but is it really the way to bailout the debt?? Want it affect the bank who wrote off?? And remember only Greece Problem is solved but still other PIIGS countries are in trouble. This may be a temporary positive blow in the market from the foreign side. Talking about Indian growth story, we still have High food inflation while other factors have started cooling-off. It is expected that IIP will be better off now and inflation will start cooling off in coming quarters. Bank rate hike cycle has been at peak and RBI has signaled that there want be any further hikes in December but you never know them. So hold your longs and short term investors can book profits around 5450 levels and get back at 5200 levels.
NIFTY levels for 31st October:

9.30am All-Age Worship - Revd Seth Lovell
10.45am Traditional Worship - Revd Seth Lovell
In a world of religious and atheistic fundamentalists and in a society paradoxically multi-faith and secular, Mayfield Salisbury celebrates what it means to be human: a rich blend of intuition and reason, knowing and unknowing, affirming and seeking, succeeding and failing, brokenness and wholeness. In our services of public worship we wrestle intellectually with the basic questions of life: why are we here? who and what are we? where do we find meaning in life?
Science, philosophy and mathematics are gifts from God but so too are art, music and spirituality. As a congregation, a community of pilgrims, we support and encourage one another. You are welcome to join us!
At its root, faith is an exploration of the inner life. The most important journey which we make in life is the inner journey. The Sacred can be encountered in numerous ways including within the rich traditions of Christianity; along the spiritual paths of other world faiths and in the nourishment given to the soul through the world of nature, its beauty and diversity.
God is the Absolute, the Most Real, our Eternal Lover. The word 'God' can be unhelpful because it implies an external, supernatural 'being' when, we believe, the Divine is experienced within. The Transcendent is present in and through the material world. Within Christian spirituality, the practice of silence and stillness help us to be present to the Presence. In our weekly diets of public worship, through word, song, and periods of quiet, we seek to open ourselves to the Eternal.
In recent years we have held festivals on meditation and prayer, sacred music, science and religion, and we have celebrated the beauty offered by other world faiths (Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, Ba'hai and Buddhism). Alongside an expanding and vibrant youth programme, we are an inclusive community which encourages spiritual growth individually and collectively and enables growing confidence in the Mystery dwelling within us, within all things, in the One we call 'God'. Welcome!

Because God is both knowable and unknowable the tension of the symbol, the multilayers of the myth and the openness of the poetic are all vital to our desire to celebrate the Mystery to whom we relate and in whom we have our being.

You must love him as he is: neither God, nor spirit, nor image; even more, the One without commingling, pure, luminous ...
Meister Eckhart
The purpose of our life is God's glory. However lowly a life is, that is what makes it great.
Oscar Romero
Faith may justify bigotry or fanaticism, as Church history tragically witnesses. It needs a safeguard. If it is not animated as it were by the greatest of the theological virtues (love), faith can become defective.
Thomas Norris
Dry not, dry not, your tears of love eternal! Only to eyes that fail to weep does this world seem so dull and dead. Dry not, dry not, those long, sad tears of love.
Johann von Goette
The post modern paradigm manifests itself as a unity which preserves diversity and diversity which strives after unity.

There is only one assertion that requires no evidence. Children are a sacred trust...Unless we care properly for our children, we shall never build a better world.

These are only hints and guesses, hints followed by guesses; and the rest is prayer.
'The Dry Salvages' T.S.Eliot
According to strict truth, God is incomprehensible, and incapable of being measured.
Myth is a story about the way things never were, but always are.
Thomas Mann
In the darkness ...The child of your love - and now become as the most hated one - the one You have thrown away as unwanted - unloved ..... The darkness is so dark .... I have no faith.
Mother Teresa
I love the Bible. I owe my faith and my life to the Bible and its liberating message. It is in the Bible that I first met Jesus ... I too am included in God's embrace.
Gene Robinson
It is this great absence that is like a presence, that compels me to address it without hope of a reply ....
R.S. Thomas
Faith is not a proud self-consistent philosophy. It involves maintaining oneself between contradictions that can't be solved by analysis. It is therefore a living response to the grace of God as revealed in fragile lives.
Mark Oakley
Any religion which does not say that God is hidden is not true.
Blaise Pascal
The contemporary Church is losing aspects of its wide and generous memory and therefore condemning itself to become a 'swimming pool Church' - one that has all the noise coming from the shallow end.
Mark Oakley
For all your doctrinal headaches take Paradox.
Mark Oakley
The true vision and the true knowledge of what we seek consists precisely in not seeing, in an awareness that our goal transcends all knowledge and is everywhere cut off from us by the darkness of incomprehensibility.
St Gregory of Nyssa
Death, death be hanged, the Lord has promised me that I shall live. This I believe!
Martin Luther
We feel that even when all possible scientific questions have been answered, the problems of life have not been put to rest.
Religion is the flight of the alone to the Alone.
Stupid clergymen appeal quite directly to a Bible passage directly understood ....
Soren Kirkegaard
What is the point of the arts of reading and criticism as long as the ecclesiastical interpretation of the Bible, Protestant as well as Catholic, is cultivated as ever?
Friedrich Nietzsche
A figure like Ecclesiast, rugged and luminous, chants in the dark a text that is the answer, although obscure.
Wallace Stevens
Myth is the poetry of the soul.
Sara Maitland
Our loss of the ability to think mythically, poetically, allegorically, creatively, theologically, and artfully is a greater threat to our religious experience than anything good scientists have to report ...
Sara Maitland
In general, Zen attitude is that words and truth are incompatible, or at least that no words can capture truth.

The most powerful hunger we have, mostly suppressed and misdirected, is the hunger for God.
