The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Christmas season fundraiser starts in earnest today at locations in Gadsden.
The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Christmas season fundraiser starts in earnest today at locations in Gadsden.
Although a few Red Kettles have been set up, about 12 will be in place with bell ringers today through Christmas Eve, Maj. Glenn Riggs, the head of Gadsden's Salvation Army unit, said Tuesday.
Contributions help needy families, Riggs said, pointing out that the Salvation Army helps more than 300 families consisting of about 1,200 to 1,500 people with clothing, food, rent, and utilities.
"Here in Gadsden, the need certainly is increasing," Riggs said.
Riggs said the Salvation Army was able to meet its goal of $58,000 last year. "For the Gadsden area, that's a good amount," he said.
But he said he's concerned this year because of layoffs and the lingering effects of the economy.
"One thing is we are seeing a lot of people who traditionally have not have had to need us in the past," Riggs said. "I got an email from a lady that both she and her husband were out of work for the first time and they needed assistance."
Riggs said the Salvation Army also needs volunteers to ring bells at the Red Kettles. Sometimes bell ringers have to be hired and paid, especially during weekdays.
"Some people who work for us have lost jobs," Riggs said.
He said ringing bells is a good community service project for high school students who need a project for a college scholarship application. However, these students will need to be accompanied by an adult.
Gov. Robert Bentley kicked off the Red Kettle drive in Montgomery on the Capitol steps on Monday with a donation.
"It's kind of a classic symbol of Christmas, bell ringing," Bentley said.
"By the way, we say Merry Christmas in Alabama," he added.
"We don't say happy holidays. Christmas is when Jesus Christ was born."

New Zealand's Cook Strait
My next swim adventure will be in April. I will attempt to swim Cook Strait between the North and South Islands of New Zealand a distance of 16 nautical miles. Swimming the strait is considered by many as one of the most difficult swims in the world due to unpredictable waters. This crossing will be my fifth swim of the Oceans Seven Challenge. I have not underestimated the degree of difficulty of this upcoming challenge. I know what I will be facing...extreme currents, strong tidal flows, and aggressive marine life ( no swimmer has ever been attacked while attempting to swim across Cook Strait). I'm looking forward to this challenge. My crew will consist of my brother David and his wife Jeannie, and nephew Chris....they did a fantastic job as my crew for my English Channel Swim in 2011. One of the highlights of going to New Zealand will be meeting swimming legend Philip Rush (one of the greatest marathon swimmers of all time). He completed a three-way crossing of the English Channel in a time of 28 hours and 21 minutes. Philip is the coordinator of the Cook Strait Swim. There will be two boats and crew to safely monitor my swim. Phil will be in the smaller boat guiding me. The larger boat will have the navigational equipment, boat pilot and crew. It's going to be an exciting adventure.

Update: Illegal Deadly Drug Identified
The Bi-State Narcotics Task Force has identified an illegal drug circulating through Texarkana as the highly dangerous phenazepam.This is a synthetic drug developed in Russia to treat neurological disorders such as epilepsy, and mimics the effects of Xanax and is extremely dangerous. Side effects of taking Phenazepam are dizziness, loss of coordination, amnesia, severe anziety, seizures, convulsions and even death. These effects are worsened if combined with alcohol use.
This drug has been circulating the Texarkana area for weeks and resembles a Xanax pill. Individuals have been purchasing or receiving this drug from friends or associates on the street.
The Arkansas Attorney General has issued a ban on Phenazepam in the state due to the severe medical problems it causes. The Bi-State Narcotics Task Force will continue to actively follow up andy and all leads to determine the person or persons responsible for distributing these drugs in our area.
Anyone found in possession of this illegal drug will face criminal charges, up to felony classification. If you have any information you are strongly encouraged to call your local police authority or Texarkana Area Crime Stoppers at (903) 793-stop. Anyone with information will remain anonymous.

From the midst of the nether
world I cried for help.
—from the Book of Jonah
A gray whale blows off Cardiff Beach,
just beyond the glamour homes,
boutiques, and drive-thru windows,
valet service and all-u-can-eat sushi.
I want to swim out and be swallowed.
Jonah's whale wasn't Ahab's, all
tripey white and peg-toothed, but
a strainer of phosphorescent shrimp,
which lamped the reeking gut, like
fireflies we swallowed once, in jars.
Even so, I say Moby gobbled Ahab,
steeped him in a pungent broth and
after 3 days spewed him bawling wet
onto the very beach where his
wife and boy kept a driftwood fire.
I hide in my own belly, treading a
sickly cocktail, on which float half-
eaten books, grocery lists, plastic bags,
dashboard figurines, and bugs like
butts in dregs of budget vodka.
No fireflies constellate these palms.
I fantasize a swarm, swallow it all,
that a spark might fall into my water.
I'd throw myself to the whale, to be
not digested, but gestated, then dis-
gorged, bleached and sucking light,
right here. I'll scavenge bottles to hold
luminous soup I wring from my soul
and throw them to the waves for all
the other, countless, castaways.

Millennium Cooking Class: Indian Summer
Above: Poori: Brown Rice Salad with Quince, Cucumber, Pistachio and Radish in a Sumac Vinaigrette; Black Lentil-Coconut Curry; Sicilian Eggplant and Sweet Pepper Salad with Mint.
This Sunday, I enjoyed another fantastic vegan cooking class at Millennium with uber-chef Eric Tucker. The theme was Indian summer produce, so lots of chiles, along with a wide range of transitional seasonal produce from tomatoes to fresh beans to squash.
The class is made up of 10 enthusiastic students who break into 2 groups of 5 and prepare variations of planned dishes. While there's an element of competition between the two groups, the set-up creates an enjoyable team cooking approach, with two assistants (this weekend Thomas and Veronica) and Chef Eric to guide and enlighten.
One thing I really love about the classes is that using your brain, creativity, and intuition is strongly encouraged. If you're an absolute beginner, fear not, you'll get detailed explanations of ingredients and how to work with them . If you have some experience and express your own ideas, interests, and suggestions, Chef Eric immediately adapts to your level and starts throwing questions your way "taste this...what do you think is missing here? what do you want to do with this?" And this happens amid a fair amount of kitchen chaos and the need to meet a deadline (the dinner crew shows up at 3:30 pm).
The highlights of the class for me were the black lentil-coconut curry and the delicious Chick pea socca pizza dough (gluten-free).
Chef Eric has graciously allowed me to reproduce the easy and incredibly tasty black lentil-coconut curry recipe (see the end of this post). This was an on-the-fly recipe I made with Eric's guidance. You just have to try this one! It's a crowd pleaser!
Below are the chickpea socca dough pizza's. The dough is simply chickpea flour, a little EVOO, salt and water and a little sauteed rosemary with garlic mixed in. We had a wide range of toppings including cashew cream cheese, tomatoes, fresh herbs, smoked onions, sauteed horseradish greens, grapes, chanterelles and matzutake mushrooms:
Honestly, I think I like the socca pizza dough better than regular pizza dough and (to my total surprise) my 8 year old had some and was, "like...wow...that's soooo good!".
Oven-roasted tomato jam:
White Bean Gratin with Pine nut toasted bread crumbs:
Indian roasted Okra and Tomato (cooked under the broiler to dry the okra and avoid that gelatinous aspect so few appreciate in okra).
And a sumptuous dessert of super-moist apple-pumpkin-roasted pineapple upside down cake with pineapple-coconut sorbet with candied chiles:
Links to previous posts on Millennium cooking classes:
Black Lentil Coconut Curry:
2TBS grape seed oil
1 large white onion, finely chopped
1 chile (seeded and finely chopped), serrano or cayenne (control the heat by removing the membrane ribs)
1/3 cup ginger, peeled & finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1 TBSP whole coriander seed
1 TBSP cumin seed
12 fresh curry leaves, whole
1 TBSP black mustard
4 cups black lentils (precooked)
3 pinches of salt
2 cups coconut milk
RCP, sauteed in oil for 30 seconds, as needed to adjust heat
2 TBS chopped cilantro leaves
Chat masala to garnish
Heat the grape seed oil in a pan and add saute the onion and ginger. Add the chile and saute for 2 minutes. Add the spices and saute for 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Add the curry leaves and cook 1 additional minute. Add the precooked black lentils and salt, stir to coat, and cook 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and cook until it starts to thicken 4-5 minutes. Taste for heat and, if not hot enough, saute RCP in oil for 30 seconds and add to mixture. Add the chopped cilantro leaves at the end and adjust for salt.
Serve in a bowl, topped with Chat masala.
Serves 10 as a side, 5 as a main with poori or nan.

Lawsuit Claims College Ordered Student to Alter Religious Views on Homosexuality, Or Be Dismissed
A graduate student in Georgia is suing her university after she was told she must undergo a remediation program due to her beliefs on homosexuality and transgendered persons.
The student, Jennifer Keeton, 24, has been pursuing a master's degree in school counseling at Augusta State University since 2009, but school officials have informed her that she'll be dismissed from the program unless she alters her "central religious beliefs on human nature and conduct," according to a civil complaint filed last week.
"[Augusta State University] faculty have promised to expel Miss Keeton from the graduate Counselor Education Program not because of poor academic showing or demonstrated deficiencies in clinical performance, but simply because she has communicated both inside and outside the classroom that she holds to Christian ethical convictions on matters of human sexuality and gender identity," the 43-page lawsuit reads.
Keeton, according to the lawsuit, was informed by school officials in late May that she would be asked to take part in a remediation plan due to faculty concerns regarding her beliefs pertaining to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues.
"The faculty identifies Miss Keeton's views as indicative of her improper professional disposition to persons of such populations," the lawsuit reads.
In a statement to FoxNews.com, Augusta State University officials declined to comment specifically on the litigation, but said the university does not discriminate on the basis of students' moral, religious, political or personal views or beliefs.
"The Counselor Education Program is grounded in the core principles of the American Counseling Association and the American School Counselor Association, which defines the roles and responsibilities of professional counselors in its code of ethics," the statement read. "The code is included in the curriculum of the counseling education program, which states that counselors in training have the same responsibility as professional counselors to understand and follow the ACA Code of Ethics."
The Code of Ethics prohibits counselors from discriminating based on a number of factors, including gender identity and sexual orientation. "Counselors do not discriminate against clients, students, employees, supervisees, or research participants in a manner that has a negative impact on these persons," the code says.
Keeton's lawsuit alleges that the university's remediation plan noted Keeton's "disagreement in several class discussions and in written assignments with the gay and lesbian 'lifestyle,'" as well as Keeton's belief that those "lifestyles" are cases of identity confusion.
If Keeton fails to complete the plan, including additional reading and the writing of papers describing the impact on her beliefs, she will be expelled from the Counselor Education Program, the lawsuit claims.
Keeton has stated that she believes sexual behavior is the "result of accountable personal choice rather than an inevitability deriving from deterministic forces," according to the suit.
"She also has affirmed binary male-female gender, with one or the other being fixed in each person at their creation, and not a social construct or individual choice subject to alteration by the person so created," the lawsuit reads. "Further, she has expressed her view that homosexuality is a 'lifestyle,' not a 'state of being.'"
David French, senior counsel at the Alliance Defense Fund, which filed the lawsuit against Augusta State University on Keeton's behalf, said no university has the right to force a citizen to change their beliefs on any topic.
"The university has told Jennifer Keeton that if she doesn't change her beliefs, she can't stay in the program," he told FoxNews.com. "She won't even have a chance to counsel any students; she won't have a chance to get a counseling degree; she'll be expelled."
Keeton, who is not available for interviews according to French, believes that people have "moral choices" regarding their sexuality, he said.
"A student has a right to express their point of view in and out of class without fear or censorship or expulsion," French said.

|University of Nebraska Athletics
|Other Position:
|Assistant A.D./Strength & Conditioning
|Phoenix, Ariz.
|Alma Mater:
|Graduating Year:
|(402) 472-3333
Boyd Epley returned to Nebraska in October of 2014 as Assistant Athletic Director for Strength and Conditioning. Epley oversees the Husker Power Strength and Conditioning Department.
Initially hired by former Athletic Director Bob Devaney to start a strength and conditioning program at Nebraska in 1969, Epley served 35 years as NU's head strength coach helping the Huskers win 356 games in 35 years and five national championships. He then moved into an associate athletic director position to oversee the design and construction of the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex and Hawks Championship Center. He retired from NU in 2006.
For eight years Epley served as director of coaching performance for the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) in Colorado Springs, the organization he founded in 1978. There he also secured sponsorships for the NSCA and helped Division I strength coaches gain accredited certification to meet an NCAA requirement.
Epley is the most decorated strength coach in history and for his national contribution in strength and conditioning, Epley was named a 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award winner by the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition.
Nebraska became the first university to have a paid strength coach when Epley was given the title in 1969. In 1978, Epley founded the National Strength and Conditioning Association, serving as president and chairman of the board of directors for five years. The group honored Epley with its first National Strength Coach-of-the-Year Award in 1980, and in 1993 he was presented the NSCA's first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2009 the NSCA Board of Directors changed the name of the award to the Boyd Epley Award for Lifetime Achievement.
Boyd was also honored by the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame in 1993 with the Lyell Bremser Merit Award.Epley was named to the U.S. Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Hall of Fame in June 2003. He was also honored on the March 2001 cover of American Football Monthly magazine, which tabbed him as the Godfather of Strength and Conditioning. Lindy's magazine recognized Epley as one of its Top 100 Most Important College Football Sports Figures of the Century. Epley was one of five Huskers on the top 100 list, joining Hall of Fame coaches Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne, Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers and two-time Outland Trophy winner Dave Rimington. In June of 2010, John D. Lukacs of ESPN said "Epley is arguably the single most important individual in the history of strength and conditioning in college athletics."
Epley served as a team captain of the National Champion track team at Phoenix Junior College and starred as a pole vaulter. He then became the Nebraska pole vault record holder as a junior at Nebraska and was the Huskers first 15-foot indoor vaulter. A back injury as a senior ended his vaulting career but opened the door for him to create the strength coaching profession which now has over 42,000 certified strength & conditioning coaches.
Epley received his associate's degree from Phoenix JC in 1968, his bachelor's degree in 1970 from Nebraska and added a master's degree in education from Nebraska in 1972. Epley is married to the former Jane Lilyhorn of Holdrege, Neb., and they have a son, Jay Robert who is a certified strength coach, and a daughter, Jenna Shea who married a certified strength coach, Chase Beideck. The Beideck's have three sons, Cash, Colt and Crew.

Melchizedek: Three Views
In this first post on this thread, we will review the two conventional views of Melchizedek, and ask if they raise insurmountable problems. Then later we can consider a different approach to determining the identity of Melchizedek (namely my view, which calls into question virtually all of the conventional assumptions about Melchizedek).
The one and only difference between the two conventional views of Melchizedek (at Genesis 14: 16-24) is their different interpretations (which will be analyzed below) of the following three Hebrew letters (which may or may not be a city-name): שלם. Both conventional views see שלם as denoting the city-name "Salem". The two views differ as to whether "Salem" means "Jerusalem" (the most traditional view), or rather, per Genesis 33: 18, whether "Salem" is denoting a small town (otherwise unattested) near Shechem.
Both of the two conventional views of Melchizedek share the following key characteristics. Sodom is located at or near the Dead Sea. The king of Sodom is probably the Bera referred to at Genesis 14: 2 (though perhaps this point may be negotiable). Melchizedek is both a king and a priest. Because of their differing interpretations of שלם, the two conventional views differ as to the city where Melchizedek lived, and they may differ (though this is not necessarily considered of critical importance) as to where the meeting between the king of Sodom, Melchizedek, Lot and Abram takes place.
I. Most Traditional View: Melchizedek Is a Priest-King of Jerusalem
Traditionally, שלם at Genesis 14: 18 is translated as "Salem", and is viewed as being a shorthand reference to "Jerusalem". There are many problems with this traditional view (most of which, but not all of which, also bedevil the other conventional view of Melchizedek):
1. Why would Jerusalem be referred to here as "Salem"? Although Genesis scholar Gordon Wenham is generally sympathetic to traditional views of the text, he has a hard time accepting that "Salem" here might mean "Jerusalem": "[I]t is not made clear where Salem is. If Jerusalem is meant, it is strange that an otherwise unattested abbreviation of the name is used here." "Genesis 1-15", p. 316.
2. Why would Melchizedek be both a priest and a king? At Genesis 14: 16-24, Melchizedek seems to function exclusively as a priest only, not a king.
3. If Melchizedek is from Jerusalem, why is he involved with this meeting at all? Though many analysts do not specifically state where they see this meeting as taking place, it is generally viewed as taking place in or near Jerusalem. But why? If Sodom is located at or near the Dead Sea, that's not close to Jerusalem.
4. If the king of Sodom is the Bera referenced at Genesis 14: 2 (which would seem to be the usual assumption, although many analysts say nothing about this), Bera seems to have already died at Genesis 14: 10: "And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there…." Or if Genesis 14: 10 is interpreted as Bera merely being injured, rather than having died, then how could a recently injured Bera come all the way north from the Dead Sea to meet Lot and Abram at Jerusalem? On the other hand, if the king of Sodom at Genesis 14: 16-24 is not Bera (who has already died), then if Bera's Sodom at Genesis 14: 2 is one and the same place as Lot's Sodom at Genesis 14: 12, 16-24 (an assumption made by all analysts, though it's not my view), then why not set forth the name of the new king of Sodom who is interacting at Jerusalem with Melchizedek, Lot and Abram?
In my humble opinion, the traditional interpretation of שלם at Genesis 14: 18 results in a story that does not make good sense. This in turn calls into question whether שלם at Genesis 14: 18 should be translated as "Salem" and viewed as being a shorthand reference to Jerusalem.
II. The Other Conventional View: Melchizedek Is a Priest-King of Salem, a Small Town Near Shechem
Wenham discusses this view at p. 316 as follows: "[I]t has been suggested that Salem near Shechem (cf. Gen 33: 18) could be meant, and that a tradition associated with this town has been transferred to Jerusalem (so Smith, Gammie, Kirkland). Though this is possible, it seems clear that Genesis views Melchizedek as a southern figure, in that he appears on the scene with the king of Sodom."
This second conventional view has even more problems that the most traditional view.
1. There is no town near Shechem that is attested by the name "Salem".
2. Why would Melchizedek be both a priest and a king? As noted above, at Genesis 14: 16-24 Melchizedek seems to function exclusively as a priest only, not a king.
3. Why would a priest-king from a small town near Shechem be involved with this meeting at all? It is highly unlikely that a king of Sodom from the Dead Sea would come all the way up north to Shechem in northern Canaan to meet with Melchizedek and Lot and Abram. Wenham seems to imply that the meeting may still take place at Jerusalem, but in addition to that not making geographical sense in any event, there's no reference to Jerusalem here at all if "Salem" means a small town near Shechem. Moreover, why on earth would a priest-king from a small town near Shechem go to a meeting at Jerusalem with the king of Sodom, Lot and Abram?
4. As discussed above, king Bera of Sodom seems already to have died, which raises the same set of troublesome questions set forth above.
* * *
It is my view that both of the conventional views of Melchizedek are untenable. Indeed, I see virtually all of the above conventional assertions about Melchizedek as being incorrect. The key to making sense of this famous Biblical figure is to reconsider the meaning of שלם. In my opinion the text is perfect as is, and is telling us a completely sensible story, but if and only if we can figure out the proper interpretation of שלם.

|Calvin Klein Spring 2013 Presentation
Graphic stripes and black &white
Yesterday morning, I attended the Calvin Klein Spring 2013 presentation, held on the ground floor of 205 West 39th Street. Tall glasses of orange juice were served by waiters (I don't know if they were spiked with vodka or not), along with delicate, elegant looking nibbles. It was shown installation style on live models, and divided into different montages according to classification and color story. Cage like wide black bars formed the basis of seating (models relaxed, and reclined on them, making for a perfect photo op), and actually divided the sprawling space into different 'rooms'. There were also racks of clothes with coordinating shoes and bags, which enabled editors to get a better look (and feel), of the pieces.
|Shirt and skinny pants in an art inspired abstract paint splattered print
The overall heading for the season is "The Modernist", which is hardly surprising, or a stretch, since the label (in all of its classifications) has long been the very essence of modern. And modern it was, owing to minimal, cool proportions, a youthful athleticism, linear silhouette, and an overall feeling of simplicity and ease. The appealing color palette was primarily based on black & white (whether in solid or done in graphic color blocks, stripes, and geometric, abstract prints and patterns), and it was often revved up with hits of strong pops of color (cobalt blue, viridan green, citron, spearmint). An art inspired, painterly print, which was used for a button down shirt and skinny pant, was a standout. Represented throughout, was a varied assortment of Calvin Klein men's and women's sportswear, tailored clothing, dresses, outerwear, footwear, handbags (hand held mini clutches, satchels, over-sized carry alls), eye-wear, and swimwear (the news is the racer back one-piece for women, and new short cut trunks for men).
|Calvin Klein underwear
|Calvin Klein jeans
In terms of denim, the timeless, all American classic has been rendered more weightless than ever, with washes ranging from the palest to the darkest. While pale blue washed indigo denims form the basis of the collection, there is also black and white (skinny jeans, for both men and women, are treated with white washes: the height of pared down chic).
FYI, on our way out, editors were offered two gifts: your choice of one of three Calvin Klein Jeans sunglasses, and an abbreviated denim jacket in your choice of wash.

I read many of his novels (not the westerns; don't know why); of those that I remember, I'd recommend GET SHORTY, BE COOL, RUM PUNCH, OUT OF SIGHT. And I'd vote against CUBA LIBRE and TISHOMINGO BLUES, but ymmv.
The guy was a master story teller.
On the contrary, there are many elements both of writing and storytelling that are generally non-negotiable, and there are many others that are non-negotiable given a particular genre. and still others given a particular context. Reader enjoyment is not a measure of good writing, i.e. Twilight and Fifty Shades of Gray. Many enjoyed those books, but by any literary measure, the writing stunk on ice. Conversely, good writing does not guarantee reader enjoyment.
I don't care who enjoys what. Heck, there's plenty of bad writing that I enjoy, but that is no basis to judge the quality of writing. It's simply an emotional response. To be sure, there's an emotional component, but always, it is the intellectual components that create the emotion.

I will be the first to admit…a few months ago I did not really "get" Twitter. What was that crazy feed of posts and who were all these people posting? What was with the "#'s" all over the place and why were people so comfortable with the outrageous statement? It all seemed totally crazy to me.
Then, I got hooked. Hooked on the chance to cross all social and geopolitical boundaries to find people with like interests — like the thousands who adore "#CapeCod" many of whom might visit just once, or come only once a year. Hooked on the connections I made with real Cape Codders, twitter moms, foodies, locavores and news junkies who were living their lives in quiet obscurity just like me.
Last month, I decided to cross an invisible boundary and organize a tweetup. A tweetup is an opportunity for people on Twitter to meet each other face-to-face, to turn anonymous social media relationships into real friendships. Since Twitter is populated with early adopters, many of whom (like me!) live for social connections with others, the opportunity to deepen that relationship by putting a face to the funny series of 140 character tweets that you have come to admire is enticing. Add free lobster crostini at Quicks Hole on the first warm Friday in spring, intriguing. Silver Still (fabulous local folk duo) playing on the water-view deck with no cover? Sold!
I will admit that I fretted — will anyone come? I tweeted and tweeted like a veritable red breasted robin in springtime in hopes of getting the word out. I re-tweeted the clever posts of my new found #capecod friends. I created a hashtag to mark my tweets, #wohotweetup, and entered a dialogue with several other twitterers who were committed to coming to the event. I got name tags at Staples, checked on the lobster crostini, double checked the free wifi in the restaurant and then I waited for the party to start.
What a pleasant surprise awaited me. Tweeps from Hyannis mingling with Twerps from Martha's Vineyard as the sun set over Woods Hole harbor and the Cape Cod draft beer flowed from the tap in pitchers… Incredible. See, despite all the people who pass through here, Woods Hole is not thought of by Cape Codders as a destination. I mean, for people to drive from Centerville or take the ferry back from Martha's Vineyard for a pitcher of beer and a great sunset…well it is unusual because each of those places has its own incredible decks from which you can enjoy the very same sunset.
There were some highlights. I met Paula @CapeProducer who organizes the annual "Geek Girl Camp" and recently did a great job re-launching the Falmouth Bed and Breakfast Association website. I met Todd and Beth Marcus (@CapeCodBeer), Alecia Lebeda (@AleciaLebeda) the mind behind the magic of FCTV, Jason Peringer, the sassiest massage therapist on Martha's Vineyard (@MVmassage) and Mike Nunez (@mike_nunez) a cool guy who commutes onto MV.
Tweetup conversation can get a little technical and ahh, OK… geeky. Mike and Alicia had a long conversation about bar code scanners and then mixed it up a little as they compete against each other as the "Mayor" of the Bourne Bridge on FourSquare. These are advanced topics. If you don't know what I am talking about, don't worry, you will soon enough. I am just glad I got to be there to witness all the fun. Thanks to the crew at Quicks Hole for making it happen and giving us such a great spot to hang out. Comments below encouraged — if you give me your twitter name you will get a personal invitation from me for the next one… And if you are coming to the Woods Hole Inn on a Friday afternoon, look forward to more hangouts at Quicks Hole all summer long.

Actor Josh Duhamel is nursing an injured hand after accidentally tripping over his "Safe Haven" co-star Julianne Hough's curling iron.
The pair was getting ready for an event to promote its latest film, about a woman with a mysterious past who falls for a widower, when Duhamel took a tumble and burned his hand.
He tells People magazine, "I tripped over Julianne's curling iron cord and grabbed the wrong end of it. So I had to do the rest of our press day with Band-Aids all over my fingers. We put them under ice, but, yeah, they're a little blistered. It's not too bad."

Student and Alumni Spotlights for the Music Program
Name: Victoria Jelstrom
Major: Musical Theatre
Hometown: Casselberry, Florida
Fact: I like to go to anime conventions.
I chose to come to Belhaven University because... it is one of the few performing arts schools in the country that operates with more than just a nod to the Christian perspective. I was particularly attracted to the dance program, since I was really into ballet in high school, but I ended up coming in as a music major instead.
One relationship that has meant a lot to me while attending Belhaven University... is my relationship with my voice teacher, Dr. Shelt. He constantly pushes me to excel technically and artistically, but he is always willing to put a lesson on hold to mentor me and help me deal with life's difficulties. He allowed me to give input when he was putting together the outline for the musical theatre concentration, which made me feel so honored. Another faculty relationship I feel I need to mention is the one I have with Dr. Hubele in the English Department. He made my day every single class, from Lit 1 to Lit 4, with his verbosity and dry wit. He always tries to find real life lessons we can apply to our lives as students, and I have to say the poems he said would "change our lives" really did... I still think about them. Faculty here really do care about their students on a personal level.
Because of my degree from Belhaven University... I will be equipped for teaching, directing, performing, choreographing, composing, and musical ministry. I'm actually looking at going to Japan with Mission to the World and working with their arts ministries.

Gaming is big business, so it shouldn't be too surprising when financial analysts weigh in on the PS3's console launch. One Evan Wilson from Pacific Crest Securities has estimated that "the most likely scenario" for Sony's next-gen console will be a scant 1 million available for a November release. Now that's a prediction of "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin" we didn't want to hear.
The death of official information from Sony has forced Wall Street analysts to once again put on their prognostication hats. The latest industry-expert augury comes from Pacific Crest Securities' Evan Wilson, who believes the PlayStation 3 won't launch until November, versus the "spring 2006" window announced at E3 2005. Speaking to the Investor's Business Daily, Wilson also said the "the most likely scenario" is for Sony to ship around 1 million PS3s in North America by the end of the year. That's nearly three times as many Xbox 360s Microsoft sent to US and Canadian stores in 2005.
Sure, that number would be more than what was available at the 360's launch, but if you got burned that time, better make sure you get that preorder in. But I personally wonder, what with the head start the 360 has built up, if Sony will actually sell out at launch? 1 million is still a big number, but if Sony can't bring the MSRP down they'll price themselves right out of the market. Of course, if Gran Turismo 5, currently rumored to be one of the games at launch, is confirmed, we might have to pick ours up at midnight. Until then, Jonathan will have to content himself with the long-overdue PSP port of GT4.
Speaking of which ...

Some have you may have noticed that my blog has a new look. Others may have noticed that the Israeli polyamory forum that I'm hosting has crashed, losing all information. Both of these events have to do with my (paid) hosting account at bluehost.com.
It all started when I wanted to upgrade my ancient wordpress install (with some custom modifications) to a more modern and standard install. So, I backed up my blog and database and proceeded to install the new version. This required a few iterations, each requiring to delete the old instance of the blog.
My major mistake was during one of those installations, I have misclicked and deleted the wrong site -- the active poly forum. The delete action did create a backup, but since the database was exported using the wrong encoding, all Hebrew data (including the entire forum) was lost.
I immediately called my hosting provider, but they did not have backups of my account. I never set up a backup script for my hosting account, so the entire contents were lost.
I did reinstall a new forum and the blog. I am now working on a backup solution for my account.
The new blog has several nifty features: On the right sidebar you may find my current exact location. Also, the subscription system should work better and replies could be verified by OpenID.

Dead Animal Pick Up
Feral Cat TNR Program
To report a dangerous animal at-large or request dead animal pick-up in the City of Beverly Hills and on public property only, please phone the City of Beverly Hills directly at (310) 285-PETS (7387). If you have a dead animal on private property you may contact an independent licensed animal trapper or extermination company for service or you may phone the PETS number for a referral.
Animal Complaints
Beverly Hills and environs are home to a myriad of critters, large and small: coyotes, mountain lions, opossums, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, migrating fowl…the list goes on and on.
The first line of defense is property maintenance: well maintained fences and perimeter walls, as well as intact screens on sub-floor and roof vents, go a long way to keeping animals out of your building. To deter them from the property ensure that the trash bin area is maintained clean, that there is no trash left or put outside the bins, and that the bins are kept tightly closed at all times.
Web searches are an excellent resource if you are interested in learning more about the habits and lifestyle of wildlife. The City of Los Angeles web page offers extensive information pertinent to our region and is a good starting point:
The California Wildlife Center
The California Wildlife Center (CWC) is involved with the protection of native wildlife through rehabilitation, education and conservation. Their core work is the rescue and rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife; they are supported by state-of-the-art animal care and rehabilitation facilities, professionally-trained staff, and dedicated volunteers.

The fascinating possibilities of 3D printing are getting bigger, particularly with the unveiling of one of the most ambitious printed projects yet, the Baroque-by-way-of-Bitmapped sculpture titled Digital Grotesque. Conceived by architects Michael Hansmeyer and Benjamin Dillenburger, the duo claim their project is the world's first 3D printed room. Computer algorithms designed most of the structure's 260 million surfaces, which were printed in sections using a composite sand and binding agent to create a sandstone-like material. When each 4 meter tall, 1 meter wide and 3 meter deep sections were manually placed, the enclosure measures 16 feet and weighs a staggering 11 tons.
According to their website, the architects believe that "New materials and fabrication methods have historically led to radical changes in architectural design. They have indeed been the primary drivers in its evolution. Today, additive manufacturing heralds a revolution in fabrication for design. Yet in architecture, this technology has up to now been used only for small scale models. Digital Grotesque takes additive manufacturing technology to a true architectural scale. Not a small model is printed, but the actual room itself."
Perhaps most compelling from an art perspective (or at least an art-historical perspective) is the logical conclusion the duo's project makes. "The Digital Grotesque project opens the door to the printing of architecture. It suggests that 3D sandstone printing can be applied both to restoring historic buildings and to constructing new ones." One can only imagine the possibilities that this technology will yield for museum research, archaeological recreation, and art exhibitions in the coming decades. (via oddly_even)

Unleash your Automation for Cloud (Easier than you Think)
In about 2 weeks there will be a great webinar panel discussion on the business and technology architecture concerns in automating your cloud and how to measure the value. Unleashing automation solutions to do what they do best may make or break a company's IT strategy over the next few quarters as those cloud journeys begin.
The webinar, IT Automation Unplugged, a panel discussion moderated by Glenn O'Donnell of Forrester will indeed be a cool event to listen in to. Not only has Glenn followed this space for many years but he also has some really insightful perspectives on the Journey to Cloud. This webinar has the potential to highlight some really pointed dialog between myself and Brad Adams of rPath, Nand Mulchandani of ScaleXtreme, and Luke Kanies of Puppetlabs. I bet the sparks might fly as we trade our perspectives on the huge demand for private and public clouds and need for enterprises to show value quickly.
This brings me to a great phrase I heard this week from one of our customers. It was used in the context of their employees using their company's private cloud. It was "High Governance". It was seriously lacking in their current solution which highly leveraged their virtualization vendor's software. I probed them on what they meant by "High Governance". It was mostly around ensuring that individuals that provision services would get access to only the services, cloud data center locations, and specific providers that they are entitled to. While this is not a new concept, the element that grabbed my attention was that IT shops have a strong need for different sourcing strategies based upon end user role, organization, location, and any number of policy settings in their Active Directory or LDAP.
"High Governance" means ensuring that your cloud users get ONLY what they are entitled to in your IT policy. No more generic UIs for generic users or uber UIs for unknown hypothetical users. The cloud is now a strongly governed personal experience, what a novel concept.
I wonder what the panel will think about this. Please attend if you get a chance.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is an ex-Communist without a conscience. When he signed legislation last month banning the adoption of Russian children by Americans, he sent a clear signal that he cares little about the most vulnerable people of his country -- the thousands of parentless kids who live in miserable Russian orphanages.
The legislation is largely believed to be a response to a law signed by President Barack Obama early in December that slaps sanctions on Russians deemed to be human-rights violators. The irony here is that Putin's signature on the Russian parliament's bill is a human-rights violation against his own people.
"There are probably many places in the world where living standards are better than ours. So what? Shall we send all children there, or move there ourselves?" Putin said in a weak attempt to answer critics of the law.
The U.S. State Department said it "deeply regrets" the law, but Obama himself should decry it.
The Russians named their adoption ban after Dima Yakovlev, a Russian child who was adopted by Americans, then died in 2008 after his father left him in a car in sweltering heat for hours.
Russian lawmakers believe their legislation protects children, but we would wager that for every Dima Yakovlev there are thousands of Roman Sweeneys.
Sweeney, a 19-year-old senior at North Central Charter Essential School in Fitchburg, was rescued when he was 6 from a Russian orphanage by Tim and Pam Sweeney of Orange.
Roman Sweeney was profiled by Alana Melanson, a reporter for The Sentinel & Enterprise of Fitchburg, in a story headlined: "'Impossible' isn't in his vocabulary." It noted that despite Sweeney's physical challenges he plays varsity baseball and basketball at NCCES, emcees the school's talent shows about six times per year and serves as a peer leader to mentor other students.
Sweeney is one of 60,000 Americans adopted from Russian orphanages in the last 20 years, according to UNICEF.
We can only imagine Roman Sweeney's fate had Tim Sweeney not glanced down at the boy 13 years ago in a Russian orphanage, where children often are kicked to the curb at age 15 to fend for themselves.
Would Roman Sweeney be aspiring to become an Olympian right now?
We invite President Putin to come to Fitchburg and visit North Central Charter Essential School, and witness for himself the transformation of a little boy scuffling about a Russian orphanage into a young man who already is making his world a better place. If he does indeed have a conscience, he might realize the mistake he has made.

The DVD totally ignores Benoit, and even the 4 Horseman with Malenko & Benoit. Never mentioned. And the whole Vince Russo era is glossed over fairly quickly, ending with the Hogan/Jarret "lay down" job. And during that, they pretty much trash Jarret, saying how he never put people in seats, and J.R. basically trashing him since he's a rival at TNA.
All the inteviews with Bischoff are from the previous Monday Night War DVDs.
The best parts are some insight by the Crockett's on the selling of World Championship Wrestling to Turner, and the different people that tried running it before Bischoff, as well as some of the Goldberg stuff with some new interviews with him. I especially liked in the extras Goldberg talking of the creation of the character, and the way the name came about.
But much of the retrospective is presented thru the McMahon Looking Glass, especially his take-over of the Super Station time slot.

BRIARCLIFF, N.Y. -- The vacated Philips site in Briarcliff could have some new life.
The 98.3-acre property at 345 Scarborough Road was sold last month to Ridgewood Real Estate Partners, operating as Ridgewood Briarcliff Owner LLC for $12 million. The site was vacated in 2015 when Philips moved its employees to Massachusetts.
Jonathan Grebow, CEO of Ridgewood Real Estate Partners, said it hopes to redevelop the property into a residential community with amenities that would benefit the entire village and that he looks forward to working with the village.
"We also think that this project will address an underserved segment of the Briarcliff and Westchester market," Grebow said. "With its fantastic views, a great location, and a wonderful surrounding community, Ridgewood Real Estate Partners believes this will be an exciting and welcomed project in the Village of Briarcliff Manor."
The property is currently not zoned for residential properties, though Mayor Lori Sullivan said the current zone use is obsolete in today's market and the board has begun a rezoning process including amending the Comprehensive Plan.
"We saw the need for Briarcliff and started down this path before any potential developers inquired about these properties to us," Sullivan said. "Any zoning change will factor keeping Briarcliff what is has been and continues to be in all respects.

The church belonged to the old convent of the Third Order of St. Francis, founded in the 14th century. It is an example of continuity in space and time. It was rebuilt in the 15th century.
Inside it is worth mentioning two Gothic side tombs and its main baroque altarpiece, from the church of San Paio de Antealtares in Santiago de Compostela.
The church was altered in the 18thth century. The nave was extended by building a barrel vault. An interesting series of images has survived from that time: the altarpiece featuring Our Lady of Sorrows .The organ is from the 18th century. The façade and main front belong to Compostela's late baroque style of the 18th century.

Q. I'd like to lower my car insurance premiums. What are some of the most common discounts?
A. You'll generally get a discount if your auto and homeowners or renters insurance are with the same company, and you may get an additional discount on all of your policies for adding umbrella coverage. Most insurers give you a break if you are insuring more than one car, or for remaining accident-free for a given number of years.
Most also give a discount for anti-theft devices (such as car alarms, ignition cutoff switches and VIN etchings), anti-lock brakes and special safety features, such as extra airbags. A few insurers, including Farmers and Travelers, offer discounts for hybrids or alternative-fuel vehicles. You usually get a discount for low mileage and might get an even bigger one for installing a tool that tracks the time of day you drive, your mileage, and acceleration and braking rates.
You may get a break for taking a defensive-driver course (although some insurers offer these discounts only to senior drivers or teenagers). If your child is a full-time student and maintains at least a B average in high school or college, a discount of about 15 percent is typical. Most insurers give you a discount if your child moves more than 100 miles away from home for college and doesn't take a car, but the insurer will still provide coverage while your child is home for vacations.
Several insurers offer discounts for members of the military, and some have special breaks for some professionals (such as teachers) or members of certain groups (such as alumni associations). Most also give you a discount for paying your premium in a lump sum rather than monthly, and for using paperless billing and automatic payments.

Review of The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
Philippa Gregory has chosen to write a novel in which the main character and narrator is Elizabeth Woodville, the wife of Edward IV. A woman who is generally portrayed by the historians as, at best, a schemer and fortune seeker, and at worst, as manipulative and dangerous, she is painted in a more favourable light in this novel. Determined to become the wife, not the mistress, to Edward who had wrenched the crown from the mad Lancastrian Henry VI, she ensures that her extended family is well endowed as she gets down to the task of producing a York heir. It is not until her husband's grasp on the throne is under threat from Lancastrian interests and erstwhile supporters that she produces her first son, after several daughters, while she is seeking sanctuary from her Edward's enemies in Westminster Abbey.
Gregory's portrayal of Elizabeth Woodville is one of a dutiful wife to a philandering husband, a loving mother and a protector of her family's interests. She also believes firmly the legend of her mother's Burgundian ancestry that she is descended from the water goddess Melusina and has magical powers whiuch she puts to use against her enemies.
While there is no indication, either in the histories or in Gregory's novel that the relationship between Edward and Elizabeth had cooled to any degree over the years, the king must have been sufficiently wary of his wife's lust for influence that, as he lay on his deathbed, he appointed his brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, hot her, to ast as protector to his heir, the twelve year old Edward, Prince of Wales.
While little is made of the alleged marriage contract Edward had entered into before he met and married Elizabeth in this novel, her distrust of Richard is vindicated when he uses this information to convince Parliament that his brother's marriage has been adulterous and that the son is illegitimate.
Writers and historians from Thomas More and Shakespeare onward have attributed the disappearance and presumed murder of Edward V and his younger brother to Richard III although there have always been those with opposing views. Cases against Henry Tudor and the Duke of Buckingham have also been made and the suggestion has been made that Elizabeth was also prepared to sacrifice sons who had no chance of sitting on the throne of England for her eldest daughter's prospect of becoming the wife of Henry Tudor.
Gregory exonerates Richard III from boys' death even as she paints him as a villian. She does, however, link him romantically with the daughter Elizabeth even before his won wife has died. The story finishes before Richard is killed on Bosworth Field and Henry Tudor as snatched the throne and taken Elizabeth as his wife.
Gregory revives another of the legends surrounding this incredible time as she has Elizabeth Woodville substitute a page boy for her younger son Richard of York whom she smuggles across to France where he is given the name Perkin by his foster parents. The significance of this action would be apparent to those who know the story of the Perkin Warbeck who presents himself as Richard IV, and the legitimate heir to the throne, during the reign of Henry Tudor.
The beauty of historical fiction is that it allows the reader the opportunity to speculate about issues, events and personalities who sometimes receive only passing notice in the history books or are portrayed according to the historian's take on the period. The historical fiction writer can complement what is already known using a well informed imagination so the view is enlarged. By giving Elizabeth Woodville the task of telling her own story in the White Queen, Gregory is allowing us to see a woman who, for all her scheming, is a mother, wife and sister determined to put her family first and to avenge those who do it harm. it is a most readable story. I can hardly wait to start on the Red Queen, Margaret Beaufort, the mother of Henry Tudor.

Philippa Gregory is one of my favorite historical fiction writers. I've read all of her books, and while this one, and "The Red Queen" aren't my favorite of hers, I still really enjoyed them. I actually reviewed both of them on my blog as well! I've only recently started to read historical fiction dealing with the War of Roses and prior to that. I needed to broaden my horizons, and leave Tudor historical fiction alone for a little bit! So far I have definitely not been disappointed!ReplyDelete
Thanks for leaving a comment for me earlier! :) It's so nice to meet writers, as well as people who love historical fiction as much as I do!
I've only recently come to the period as well. My main area of study over the years has been Irish and Irish-Australian history. I've concentrated on the 19th century particularly for my novels although I have taught Irish history from the Celts onwards. I became engrossed in War of the Roses history when I was writing a children's story set in Westminster Abbey. My little character has an encounter with Edward V in it. It is not published yet as I want to do more work on itReplyDelete

Far away in an isolated village there was a young rich woman. The house that she had been living in was very big. Her wealth was plentiful. The young woman lived by herself. She didn't have any friend at all.
"Wouw, I am very rich! Ha…ha…ha, I am the richest woman in this village!" said the young woman while she was looking at her gold and jewelries. It was so pity, that the young woman was very miserly. Her plentiful wealth never been used to help others.
"All of the wealth is mine, isn't it? So what am I give it all to other for?" The young woman thought. However, many of villagers were poor. They lived in less condition. Sometimes some villagers were hunger, and didn't get any food for days.
Because of the young woman miserly, the villagers called her Bagenda Endit. Bagenda Endit meant the miserly rich person. "Bagenda Endit, have mercy on me! My child has not eaten for few days", said an old woman sadly.
"Hi, you crazy old woman! Get away from me!" yelled Bagenda Endit threw the old woman away. Because the old woman didn't want to go, Bagenda Endit splashed her with water. Splash!, and all over the old woman body and her baby became wet.
"Hi, you crazy old woman! Get away from me!" yelled Bagenda Endit threw the old woman away. Because the old woman didn't want to go, Bagenda Endit splashed her with water. Splash!, and all over the old woman body and her baby became wet.
Bagenda Endit was a feeling less woman. She didn't even have a little bit mercy to the old woman and her baby. She even got more angry. After that, she asked the old woman to get out of her house yard. And then, she was dragging her out of the yard.
Although Bagenda Endit was very miserly, the village people kept coming in. The came for the water wheel. "No, I won't let you to take away the water from my wheel! The water in the wheel is mine!" Bagenda Endit yelled angrily.
"Ha…ha…ha…you're all stupid! You think you just can take the water from my wheel!" Bagenda Endit said while she was watching the thirst villagers outside the fence. Suddenly, a decrepit man was standing in Bagenda Endit house yard. He was walking tottery to the wheel while holding his stick.
When the old man was trying to take the water, Bagenda Endit saw it. Then, she hit the old man with a founder. "Have mercy on me Bagenda Endit! I want to take the water just for a drink", said the old man when he was trying to get up.
Bagenda Endit kept beating the old man. And then, an astonishing thing happened. Suddenly the old man got up with a healthy body. He walked closer to Bagenda Endit. He pointed his stick at the cruel rich woman's nose.
"Hi, Bagenda Endit, take the punishment from me!" said the old man loudly. Then he pointed at the wheel with his stick. Wus…byuur, the wheel was sprinkling the water swiftly. Not long enough, the water was flooding up. Bagenda Endit couldn't save herself. She drawn with all of her wealth.
The village was disappeared. The thing that left was a wide and deep lake. The lake was named Situ Bagendit. Situ means a wide lake. It was named Situ Bagendit, because the wide lake came from a wheel that belongs to Bagenda Endit.

Gezahegne is director of Mekanisa Addis Kidan Child Development Center, one of the oldest child development centers in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia. When asked to initially volunteer his time as the center accountant in 1991, he said, "For this kingdom work, I will do it."
The idea for the center began in 1989 through the initiative of Gezahegne and other church leaders who discussed various options to evangelize in the community. After these many discussions, Gezahegne says, "We agreed that Compassion would be the best method."
At the time, Compassion required only three people to start a child development center – an accountant, a social worker, and a director. Gezahegne's accounting experience prompted the church elders to invite him to that position.
After Gezahegne's initial work as the center accountant, he was approached again by the church elders to become the center director.
As Gezahegne reflects on the impact of his program, he says,
"When I was a child, my friends and I had no direction or guidance growing up. Here at Compassion we fight to protect the children from negative influences, and we give them support to continue their education."
This academic support for the children comes in the form of tutorial classes and money for school fees and materials, including clothing. However, the program also provides for their physical and spiritual needs as well; Compassion gives grains and other food stuffs, hygienic materials, and provides summer and Vacation Bible School and Bible studies for the children.
The child development center is located in one of the poorest communities in Addis Ababa, near the city dump where many beggars reside, pilfering through the garbage to get food.
As a result, the center organizes monthly family meetings where they distribute food and other materials as well as conduct Bible studies and educate families on how to care for themselves, their children, and how to effectively use their resources. Gezahegne says,
"We not only change the lives of the child, but also we change the lives of the family. We educate them [Compassion-assisted families] about not going to the dump and not begging; we support them and encourage them to work hard."
Even though Gezahegne's job as director keeps him busy with many administrative tasks, he still makes sure he has time with the children.
"Because I live in this community, children and their families come to my house if they need assistance."
In addition to home visits by the children, Gezahegne and his staff also make a point of visiting the children's homes to observe their home life.
"We not only take care of them here at the student center, but we go to their houses and ask their families 'Where do they sleep? What do they eat? How is the communication between parents and child?'"
Much of Gezahegne's work is that of a social worker, in counseling and giving advice to the children. Some of these children's problems occur in the form of abuse; Gezahegne is called to minister to these special needs of the children.
"All the children respect me as a father. When they have particular problems, things they can't share with others, they come to me – especially the teenagers. Stepfathers, brothers, and even high school teachers abuse these children and they come to us. We listen to them because they need someone to listen to them. In my trainings, I have learned to listen and ask few questions."
After providing a supportive ear as they confide in Gezahegne, he then talks with their families and friends to come up with a solution together. "I ask the children, 'What is your suggestion for a solution?.'"
While Gezahegne and other staff members have a significant impact on these children's lives, Gezahegne also mentions the huge impact of the children's sponsors. Of these people who touch the lives of children thousands of miles away, Gezahegne says,
"Sponsors do a great job supporting the poorest of children. From their own lives, they share with the children, and with their families."
As the child development center director, Gezahegne witnesses the huge change in children's lives when they begin a sponsorship program.
"When children get support, they begin coming to Sunday school and they have good hope. But when the support is stopped, the children become gamblers and beggars; they go back to the dump and stop going to church."
Most importantly, however, the children relish the letters from their sponsors. The sponsors touch the lives of the children by encouraging them to keep up with their studies and remind them of their goals and promises they've made for the future. Gezahegne agrees,
"The words of the sponsors in the letters are words of encouragement for the children – a source of hope."
As Gezahegne thinks about the center's future, he dreams of networking with local governments and other organizations to better care for the community's children.
"We have the opportunity with these children to effectively support and train them to become church leaders to continue the tradition of training more youngsters."
One way he hopes to achieve that is by creating more awareness of how to better support children by communicating with churches and partnering with the government and Addis Ababa schools to cooperatively work at improving the lives of the city's children.
But for Gezahegne, Mekanisa Addis Kidan Child Development Center has already achieved success. To date, Gezahegne reports that 109 children have been baptized in the program and these children have since become leaders in various church ministries, members of the choir, and lead Bible studies.
As these children come to know the Lord, Gezahegne says their lives are visibly changed.
"Their behavior changes within their families, the child evangelizes in the family – leads prayers over meals; their communication and interaction with friends and family changes. Even teachers in school notice behavioral changes in children since they've learned about Jesus. "The works are small, but the harvest is big. We planted some seeds and when you take care of them, they becomes beautiful flowers."

SAN JOSE — A massive, frenetic street brawl where baseball bats and shovels were wielded as weapons ended with a young male being shot to death Thursday night at an apartment complex near Spartan Stadium and Happy Hollow zoo, San Jose police and witnesses said.
The victim, who has not been identified and was generally described as a male in his mid- to late teens, was involved in a fight reported around 10:20 p.m. on South 12th Street just north of Keyes Street, police spokesman Officer Albert Morales said.
At least eight and as many as a dozen people were involved in the brawl, which made for a chaotic scene.
"It was on the street and sidewalk. It was spilling out into the neighborhood," Morales said. "People were running, people were getting chased."
Some of the combatants, police and witnesses said, were armed with baseball bats and shovels taken from a nearby truck.
Amid the melee, gunshots were fired, Morales said. Witnesses said the victim was running either from or with other people into the courtyard of a nearby apartment complex when another shot was fired. The victim, described by police so far only as having a "youthful appearance," was hit and crumpled next to a stairwell.
By the time officers arrived, everyone involved in the brawl had scattered and disappeared, Morales said. They were directed by witnesses to the apartment complex, where they found the shooting victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
It marked the city's 19th homicide of 2014. At this point last year, the city had recorded 24 slayings.
Motives for the brawl and shooting were hard to come by Friday. Morales said authorities were still working to positively identify the victim.
One witness, who asked not to be named out of safety concerns, told this newspaper that earlier in the evening, men holding baseball bats were walking in the area and acted as if they were looking for someone.
While violence, particularly gang-related, is known to occur in the area, the manager of the apartment complex where the victim died said there have been no problems at the complex before Thursday's occurrence.
"I've been manager here for six years, and we've never had any instance of break-in, violence or crime," Randall Coker said, adding that the victim did not live at the complex.
Anyone with information about the case can contact homicide detectives at 408-277-5283 or leave a tip with Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers at 408-947-STOP (7867) or with svcrimestoppers.org.

Protecting your intellectual property in export markets
Consider taking steps to protect your intellectual property before you export abroad.
Although Canada has ratified several treaties dealing with IP, you are still required to officially register your IP in a foreign country before your property is protected there. Copyrights are an exception to this rule. When you register for copyright protection in Canada, your protection is valid in any country that has signed the Berne Copyright Convention or other copyright treaties.
Registering your IP in a foreign country
Before registering with a foreign intellectual property office, conduct some research. You can take advantage of resources like IP registration databases to help you identify potential partners or competitors. This can also help you avoid infringing on the IP of others.
Registering your IP abroad is fairly straightforward. Many countries are members of treaties or conventions to which Canada is also a party. Quite often, simply proving that your intellectual property is registered in Canada is all you need to be recognized in one of these countries.
For countries where there is no agreement in place, you will want to look into the relevant laws, and be sure you have everything you need before starting the registration process. Avoid sharing any details about your intellectual property until you start the registration process.
Seeking professional or legal advice is recommended.

Numerous books and articles discuss the preservation and collecting techniques of insects and most concern to special methods for certain orders of insects. Some publications provide information on preserving Orthoptera, but none offer useful advice on phasmids. Due to their soft bodies, large size, body mass and often bright colours the Phasmatodea present a number of problems. The large size makes the insects dry very slow and the softness means that just little rotting can make parts of the body become black. For scientific material it is generally not advisable to eviscerate and stuff the specimens with cotton-wool, as this can (if no care is taken) destroy the inner pigmentation and difficulties arise in reconstructing the original body shape. Furthermore, it destroys features which might be of importance for future examination of the internal morphology. Nevertheless, it is the best method to preserve bright colours but should only be used for display specimens or duplicates in scientific collections, which are meant to show the original colouration of the live insects. Most techniques with chemical solutions strongly fade colours and turn green and red into bright yellow or pale brown.
The following discusses the advantages and disadvantages of different preservation methods, which have been tried by us. For the packing and conservation techniques best used in the field and on expeditions, particular attentions was drawn on keeping the expenses of time, weight and and space to a minimum.

Priorities for spending the money paid into the United States Treasury by the citizens of the United States should be established by the people. Instead, priorities are being set by Congress and the president acting on the special interests of the military-industrial complex. These special interests are, by and large, those of the wealthy and the companies they own or control.
Who pulls the puppet strings of these clowns that claim to be a government of the people? Who says that it is more important to put a gun in the hands of a Syrian rebel than it is to fill a Head Start classroom with 4-year-old children in Iowa? Who is deciding we need an English language program so illegal immigrants can get their green cards instead of spending our tax dollars to feed the poor and elderly in Chicago and Los Angeles? Why do we need more border security and less money to educate our young people? Why are Congress and the president threatening the elderly citizens of the U.S. by attacking Social Security and Medicare?
Are the people, the voters, of this country awake? Who is setting the priorities for government spending? Why do the citizens of the United States repeatedly vote to send self-interested, do-nothing politicians to public office? These elected officials are not acting in the best interests of the voters who have placed them in office. The few who run our state and national governments are not representing the people. The American Dream is becoming a myth.
Fortified with our votes and our tax money, the president and Congress in Washington and in state capitals spend countless hours debating trivia and ultimately acting against the best interests of US citizens. Time and again these politicians vote to serve themselves and the special interests that back them rather than doing what is necessary to keep the U.S. a respected and viable world power.
Our politicians appear to be telling us we have enough money to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to provide arms for the Syrian rebels. They tell us we have enough money to build a wall between Mexico and the U.S. and enough money to double the size of our border patrol. They tell us we can afford to develop and implement programs to teach English to illegal immigrants. And all the while, we pay the salaries and health care bills for the endless parade of people in Washington and our state governments who spend their time in meaningless rhetoric and frustrating debate while accomplishing little of real merit.
These same politicians seem unable to agree on a farm bill lately. They refuse to fully consider or support food stamps for the poor and elderly needy citizens of the country they pretend to represent. These politicians also turn their backs on the children and young people of this country. They watch programs such as Head Start die for lack of money. They slash school budgets. They make a college education beyond the financial reach of the majority of American families. Our air traffic controller staff, our police force, our firefighters and those who are ready to fight forest fires are all understaffed and underfunded. Those who support the necessary infrastructure and backbone of our country face dwindling resources and lack of support from our belligerent, bickering bullies in Congress and around the state governments.
Wake up, voters. Get out of your armchairs. Turn off your TVs. Make your voices heard. Rise up. Vote. Send a clear message to the people who take our money, waste our time, run the country into the ground to benefit themselves, and set priorities that make no sense. Force these elected officials to set priorities in line with the needs of the citizens of the US. Make no mistake, these politicians in public office are spending, and will continue to spend, all of your tax dollars. Where do they get their misguided ideas about what to spend your money for?
We need to clean our political houses and senates and start over with men and women who have new fresh ideas. No incumbent should be re-elected anywhere.
Robert Blanks
