Why I Chose A Swiss Grandfather
Why I Picked A Swiss Grandfather
Being on good behavior has its compensation in heaven the same on earth. I remember a time way back, about the middle of the last century, up in the never, never land.
I'd been on pretty good behavior for quite awhile when one fine day, my Guardian Angel said to me, "I want you to study the countries of the Earth.
Because you have been good, I'll let you pick out the one where you think you'd like to live. In about three score years from now I'm going to send you down to Earth for one lifetime.
"Countries change so, how will I know what they will be like in the next century? I queried. "That's a good question," said my Guardian Angel, "no country is any better than the people in it, or their ideals, and ideas. Rather, pick a man who will one day be your grandfather. Pick him for the country that is his background now and be satisfied to let the future bring what it may."
Picking out a Grandfather from a country whose ideals were impressionable was a tall order. I thought I would never finish studying the countries of the Earth until one day I came upon Switzerland.
To me, it was the most beautiful of all countries that I had viewed. But we had been taught that is beauty is sometimes only skin deep. Perhaps, I thought the beautiful sky-pointed Alps, the profusion of wildflowers below the snow-capped mountains, the lakes, the quaint Swiss houses, the cleanliness and preciseness of the towns was only a thing of beauty. Perhaps, the people were not as fine as the beautiful countryside; but I determined to find out.
First, I studied the background of Switzerland and found to my delight that it was the oldest democracy in the world, in ancient days it was called "Helvetica." Like most European countries, Helvetica went through its primitive period, with its domination by Imperial Rome. But, one day chosen delegates from the three countries of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden, formed a political and military alliance to maintain independence against the Duke of Austria. This was on August 1, 1291. Through the centuries that followed, August 1st remained a Swiss National Holiday, because the document formed then contains ever the principle of its later constitution, even the one that governs Switzerland today. The document is called the Deed of the Confederation and is what dates Switzerland as the world's oldest Democracy. Before another century had rolled around, five more Cantons were added by various treaties and Switzerland was hailed as a European power.
I studied this background reverently, and thought, "those people must have what it takes." In a small territory, hemmed in by antagonistic larger countries, that had the determination and the fortitude to establish their independence.
Studying Switzerland's background further, I found that she had suffered several centuries of hardships. The Reformation took its toll and subsequent internal political dissension weakened the little democracy, and I found myself worrying for her—forgetting that I was studying history that had already been written. Then I came upon the last part of the 18th century when the roar of the French Revolution rolled across the Alps and for the first and only time overturned the Confederation. The period of 1798-1804 was known as the Helvetica Period, I learned.
But, I saw that the Swiss were not to accept the new arrangement—although it took them until 1815 to restore the confederation. By that time, the twenty-two Cantons of which still make up the country had formed the Confederation and the system of the Cantonal sovereignty set up then and still exists today in a circle of Federal Union.
So much for background history, Switzerland inspired me, next I wondered about her achievements artistically. It didn't take much study to find that their famous Abbey of St. Gall, laid down 1,200 years ago, was a hearthstone of the Arts in the middle of a barbarous Europe; that Calvin had founded the Geneva Academy of Arts in 1558 and that sculptors, painters, and musicians abounded in the little Democracy.
I saw the industries of the busy people of Switzerland, the herdsmen, the watch makers, the cheese and chocolate makers, and heard the happy peasants yodeling on the mountain sides, saw the St. Bernard dogs, beautiful, gentle, efficient. I read about the William Tell and his apple and was impressed. I got a fleeting glimpse into the future and say that this little country would be the seat of the Universal Postal Union, which would govern the mail service of the World.
By this time, it was quite apparent to me that Switzerland was as great a country as it was beautiful. I was convinced of its beauty, of its history, even of its aesthetic side. But, no truly great country can be great unless its people have compassion. Were there any great men or women in this beautiful spot that sacrificed their lives and their finances to help their fellow man? I didn't have to go very far to find such names as Johann Pestalozzi, whose love of children and personal sacrifice for them, became a symbol of guidance to other countries throughout the world and of Jean Henri Dunsant, young man of a wealthy Zurich family, who devoted his life to helping the afflicted, who reduced himself to a state of poverty to help those in need, who founded the International Red Cross Society, which today has spanned to the four corners of the Globe, with its humanitarian program.
I felt numb with happiness. I felt sure that I had found the country that I wanted my Grandfather to come from. I sat down on my crossed legs and hummed softly, I looked down again into Switzerland, and as I did I suddenly saw a young boy walking the street of Schaffhausen. I heard my Guardian Angel say softly, "Have you made up your mind?' Yes, I said, "I want a Swiss Grandfather." She pointed to the young man in Schaffhausen and said, "Some day along about sixty years from now he will be your grandfather."
I looked again, and heard the young boy, Conrad Bollinger was his name, saying Good-bye to his friends for he was leaving for America. I jumped up quickly. "But, he's going to America," I said to the Angel.
"That's right" she answered, "there's a new county over there—it needs the best that the rest of the world can give so that it can grow. Your Grandfather will have the ideas and ideals of the oldest democracy in the world as he establishes his home and family in a new democracy, which is trying to get over it's growing pains."
I must have fallen off to sleep then and it was some thirty years later when I awakened. I looked down again and this time I saw America. It took no time to find the young Conrad, but was much older now. He had fought in the American Civil War and was working for the Government of the United States.
My Guardian Angel appeared again, "Now," she said, you can even see your mother."
I looked carefully until I saw four children in their teens, three girls and a boy. They are your Grandfather's children," said my Guardian Angel, "the second from the youngest—Margaret is her name—will someday be your Mother."
I rocked and hummed again, I felt good. I wondered if I would look a little like Margaret when I became an earthly child. I thought, who could have picked out a better country than America in all this world, with a better background than one stemming from Switzerland. In fact, I felt pretty lucky. I had already seen both my Grandfather and my mother.
Again, I must have fallen asleep and the next thing I knew I woke up in Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York in the United States of America and someone said, "It's a girl"
Note #1: August 9, 2013.
I am Alice Margaret Fisher. I was named after my grandmother and great grandmother Margaretha Bollinger. I am the granddaughter of Edith Margaret Fisher/Faulstich. I am the great-great-granddaughter of Conrad Bollinger, from Beringen, Switzerland. I retyped this article, written by Edith Fisher more than 60 years earlier, and furthered the family lineage into our Swiss ancestry as a result of her early work.
Our Swiss grandfather's family now dates back to Hans George Bollinger, Born about 1588.
I am proud of this rich history and our deep roots. As a result, when I completed a study abroad to Europe in 1994, and thereafter I took my two young daughters with me and we traveled to Beringen, and Schaffhausen Switzerland.
We landed in Beringen on July 31, 1994, it was my youngest daughter's 12th birthday. We being the first to return as a direct line descendant of Conrad Bollinger. The village was exactly as my grandmother wrote, and they opened up the little museum and bought my girls an ice cream on Sunday pouring their history and lives out to us in earnest while we spoke a triangle of me with my broken French to the women in the village who then in turn spoke Swiss-German, to the Museum curator.
Note #2, May 14, 2009
I've begun contributing to a Beringen, Switzerland History Project

With much pride and love to my Nana, you and your work will not be forgotten!

Life History of Edith Margaret VanderPoel / Fisher / Faulstich
Faulstich was a pioneer student and collector of postal history. She campaigned extensively to have postal history recognized as a category at major exhibitions. She was a founder of the Postal History Society of the Americas (now the Postal History Society, Inc.). Faulstich helped the PHS through its early years as the first editor of its Postal History Journal, and as president from 1965 to 1967.
In her philatelic career, "Dee" edited Covers magazine, The Essay-Proof Journal and was associate editor of Western Stamp Collector. She wrote a stamp column in the Bergen (NJ) Evening Record and later in the Newark (NJ) News.
Faulstich built world-class collections of the postal history of the American Expeditionary Forces and the Canadian Expeditionary Forces in Siberia during World War I.

Rick, of course this is just me thinking this all out in my head and I could be wrong. I'm sure if others are reading this they are calculating too. Seems to me the VN plant can be figured out to the day but the NOR plant is a bit more difficult to pin it down.
Here is the tag, my theory is it was built on Halloween plus it's orange
I'm just trying to make sense of all the numbers...At 57/hr, they would have had to work more than 8 hr shifts daily to meet the production achieved, as shown in the table below. (8x57=456, 9 x 57 = 513, 10 x 57=570, 11 x 57 = 627, 12 x 57 = 684, etc...) Were they always working two shifts over the entire prod year? Adding or stopping shifts would seem difficult to do based on manpower?

General Chang was a Klingon military officer and chief of staff to Gorkon, Chancellor of the Klingon High Council in 2293. In that year, Chang was involved in the Khitomer conspiracy to sabotage peace talks between the Klingon Empire and the United Federation of Planets.
Chang was extremely fond of Shakespeare, and often quoted lines from his various plays.
Conspiracy Edit
In an attempt to frame Captain James T. Kirk for the assassination of Chancellor Gorkon, Chang commanded an experimental Klingon Bird-of-Prey which had the unique ability to fire its weapons while under cloak. Chang's ship fired on Kronos One while it was under escort by the USS Enterprise, making it appear as if the latter ship had fired upon the Klingons, violating the terms of the truce.
This attack facilitated the boarding of Kronos One by co-conspirators from the Enterprise, who assassinated Gorkon. When Captain Kirk and Doctor McCoy boarded Kronos One to provide assistance and prevent a full-scale conflict from developing, Chang ordered them arrested and charged with Gorkon's assassination under the rules of interstellar law. He also served as the prosecutor for the state at Kirk and McCoy's trial, where he was successful in obtaining a conviction by forcing Kirk to admit that, as captain, he was responsible for the conduct of the crew under his command.
However, Chang was surprised that, due to the impending peace talks, the judge did not order the customary death sentence, but instead sent the pair to Rura Penthe. In an attempt to ensure Kirk and McCoy's death, Chang had the commandant arrange for the Starfleet officers to be killed while attempting to escape, therefore eliminating any suspicion as to the motive for the killings. Kirk and McCoy were ultimately rescued, however, by the Enterprise crew.
With time running out before the Khitomer Conference, Chang ordered his Bird-of-Prey to intercept and attack the Enterprise in orbit of Khitomer. His ship initially had the advantage in being able to fire while cloaked, causing considerable damage to the Enterprise and also scoring a hit on USS Excelsior, under the command of Hikaru Sulu, which had arrived to divert fire away from the crippled Enterprise.
However, this advantage was eventually negated when Enterprise crewmember Captain Spock developed a means whereby a photon torpedo could be modified to home in on the plasma exhaust of Chang's ship on the suggestion of Commander Nyota Uhura. Chang and the other bridge officers were killed by the initial explosion of the modified torpedo, which allowed Enterprise and Excelsior to launch more torpedoes that destroyed the Bird-of-Prey. Reflecting his love of Shakespeare, his last words were "to be, or not to be", from Act 3:I of Hamlet. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
Chang was played by Christopher Plummer. Plummer requested that his character have more subtle Klingon makeup, giving Chang a more Human look than most Klingons in the Star Trek films. Plummer commented: "I found a lot of the headgear that some of them wore rather phoney. I could see where the stitches were, so I decided I'd be a little different". Plummer thought he looked like Israeli military leader Moshe Dayan. ("Klingons: Conjuring the Legend")
John Colicos commented when filming "The Sword of Kahless" as Kor: "I tried to get rid of my wig but they wouldn't go for it. I guess you have to be Christopher Plummer before they'll let you be a bald Klingon". (The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine issue 18, p. 24)
In the Star Trek Magazine issue 149, the "Villain Special of 2009", Chang's part in the Khitomer conspiracy was compared to Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, the architect of the failed plot to kill Adolf Hitler in 1944 (somewhat in reverse, as Chang's plot was successful and was intended to continue a war).
Chang's appearance, as well as his affection for the works of the Human playwright Shakespeare, may be explained in part by the Klingon augment virus that spread through the Empire in the mid-22nd century. Among its other effects, the virus dissolved Klingon cranial ridges and gave its victims a more Human appearance (see "Affliction"). One of Chang's ancestors may have been a "smooth-headed" Klingon who was exposed to the retrovirus. Also, he lost an eye and wore a eye patch similar to Claus von Stauffenberg, .
Although difficult to see, a statue of Chang was present in the Hall of Warriors in "Apocalypse Rising".
From the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 132), Chang's "demand in court that Kirk answer a question without waiting for a translation is a paraphrase of American ambassador Adlai Stevenson, who made the same demand of Soviet ambassador Valerian Zorin at the United Nations during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962."
Apocrypha Edit
- The game Star Trek: Klingon Academy indicates that Chang lost his eye in a blood duel against the usurper Kalnor who attempted to gain control of the Klingon Empire.
- Also according to Klingon Academy, Chang had been a general at least since the 2260s, and commanded the fleet at the Battle of Organia before the Organians imposed their peace treaty.
- According to the novelization of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Chang acquired the sobriquet "the Merciless" after commanding punitive attacks on enemies of the Klingon Empire (Dillard 1992, 69).
- Also according to the novelization, the name of Chang's prototype Bird-Of-Prey was Dakronh.
- According to A.C. Crispin's novel Sarek, taking place in the aftermath of Star Trek VI, the Khitomer conspiracy was found to have been started by a group of telepaths under Romulan control, and it was suggested that Chang, among other leaders of the conspiracy, were subtly influenced by them.
- Chang's mirror universe counterpart appears in the novel The Sorrows of Empire. Chang, as the senior military adviser to Regent Gorkon, advocated the construction of an entire fleet of Birds-of-Prey that could fire while cloaked, as the ultimate weapon to bring down the Terran Empire. This fleet played a vital role in the conquest of its successor state, the Terran Republic, by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in 2295.

DHS Quietly Kills "Redundant" Counterterrorism Program
The Department of Homeland Security has quietly eliminated a post-9/11 counterterrorism program that required men from Muslim countries with active terrorist organizations to register with federal authorities upon entering the United States.Known as the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS) the program was created to intercept Islamic terrorists like the ones who hijacked airplanes and murdered thousands of Americans in 2001. Most were men who entered the U.S. with legal visas and would have been required to register with immigration authorities under NSEERS.Active terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda operate in all of the countries listed on the now-defunct Homeland Security NSEERS list. They include Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, Eritrea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.In a largely unnoticed federal register note announcing the end of NSEERS, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asserts that its "redundant" and "no longer provides any increase in security" because her agency has implemented "several new automated systems" that capture the same arrival and exit data of nonimmigrant travelers to the U.S.Madam Secretary further explains in the announcement that there's been an evolution in terrorism that evidently makes NSEERS unnecessary. "As threats to the United States evolve, DHS seeks to identify specific individuals and actions that pose specific threats, rather than focusing on more general designations of groups of individuals, such as country of origin."This certainly sounds like it could be yet another move by the Obama Administration to placate Muslims. After all, throughout the counterterrorism program's six years an army of politically-connected Islamic rights groups decried it as unfairly promoting racial profiling.In the last year the administration has heeded to many of their calls by launching an aggressive Muslim outreach effort that includes national security meetings with extremist groups, ordering the nation's space agency (NASA) to focus on Muslim diplomacy and a special order allowing the reentry of two radical Islamic academics whose terrorist ties long banned them from the U.S.The Justice Department also created a special Arab-American and Muslim Engagement Advisory Group to foster greater communication, collaboration and new level of respect between law enforcement and Muslim and Arab-American communities. The fruits of its laborwere evident during a weekend raid on a Florida mosque with terrorist ties. Federal agents conducted it under new rules of engagement to assure cultural sensitivity towards Islam.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska --- Sophomore Alyssa Munson (Summerfield, N.C.) paced the Lees-McRae College women's basketball team with a game- and career-high 24 points, as Wayne State College opened the afternoon with an 18-2 run en route to a 98-67 victory on Thursday in the University of Alaska Fairbanks' North Star Invitational.
Wayne State (6-0) connected on at least 55 percent of its shots in each half, including a 59 percent clip in the final 20 minutes, while holding Lees-McRae (2-4) to a field goal percentage of 40.9 percent in the contest. The Wildcats edged the Bobcats by a 35-34 margin on the glass, as Lees-McRae won the battle on the offensive boards, 14-7. Wayne State converted 22 Bobcat miscues into 35 points on the afternoon.
Alyssa Munson (Summerfield, N.C.) paced the Bobcats with a game- and career-high 24 points, knocking down 11-of-17 attempts from the floor while grabbing nine rebounds. Kerri Belcher (Roanoke, Va.) added a double-double with 12 points and a team-high 10 boards, while recording a contest-best four steals.
Jordan Spencer led the way for Wayne State with a double-double, tallying 23 points and a game-high 13 rebounds, while Ashton Iossi and Ellen Hansen added 21 and 17 points, respectively. Addy Roller dished out a game-high seven assists, as Kara Powell chipped in a contest-best four blocks.
Wayne State got off to a strong start in the first half, opening the period with an 18-2 surge that was capped by a Hansen jumper at the 14:07 mark. The Wildcats would push the lead to 41-14 before the Bobcats responded with a 20-4 run, closing the gap to 45-34 following back-to-back jumpers by Munson with 1:15 left in the half.
The Wildcats built on a 50-34 halftime lead in the early moments of the second half, stretching the advantage to 62-37 on a Hansen triple with 16:10 to play. Lees-McRae kept fighting through the remainder of the game, battling for every ball and outscoring the Wildcats in the paint during the final 20 minutes. The Bobcats finished the game strong, closing the contest with an 11-6 spurt over the last three and a half minutes, and capping the night with a late bucket by Munson.
Lees-McRae returns to the court on Friday when the Bobcats take the floor against host Alaska Fairbanks at 4 p.m. Alaska Standard Time on the second day of the North Star Invitational.

The Eagles are adding another college coach to work with their offense.
According to Bruce Feldman of CBSSports.com, new Eagles coach Chip Kelly is adding University of Virginia offensive coordinator Bill Lazor to his staff, though the position wasn't specified.
Unlike Kelly though, Lazor has worked in the NFL, as the quarterbacks coach for the Seahawks and Redskins, in addition to working as an assistant for the Falcons. He was a candidate for a job with the Buccaneers last year.
Naturally, the Eagles haven't announced anything, as they had newly hired assistants walking around in Eagles gear at the Senior Bowl saying "no comment."

He was drawing comparisons to Bobby Abreu when he was drafted.What I didn't expect is that Rosario's power would go as crazy as it did in 2011. In 298 plate appearances, Rosario belted 21 HRs as a 19 year old for Elizabethtown. His play upstaged his more heralded team-mate Miguel Sano. Both hit 20 HRs after only one other player had done so in the last 20 years of the Appalachian League.
Coming into 2012, Rosario is also looking at a position change. With all of the outfield prospects and lack of infield prospects, he is being tried out at second base. If Rosario can play second base, he would definitely have a chance to move quickly through the system. Will Rosario be able to play second base? It will be interesting to see how he does there defensively and how his offense does in A-ball. Some good analysis on Rosario here a lot of it focused on his swing. There also seems to be a pattern of E-town inflating statistics. Rosario has a long way to go, but at 20 years old, I wouldn't dismiss how he did last year or his ability to refine his swing. He struck out in 20% of his plate appearances in rookie ball, so that is a little bit of a concern. A second baseman with power and speed anywhere near what Rosario has shown so far is very hot commodity.
Ideal scenario: Rosario can play second base. If he can stay at second defensively while hitting for good power, he will be on the fast track to Minnesota. He isn't going to be the 1.067 OPS guy we saw last year, but just continuing to show some power will move him quickly.
Path to the majors: If Rosario stays at second and keeps hitting, he could be with the Twins by 2014. If he is destined to be an outfielder, it will take longer. Look for him in 2015.

Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia (ポケモンレンジャー バトナージ Pokémon Renjā Batonāji) is the second game in the Pokémon Ranger series. The main plot of the game is to gather all sorts of Pokémon in unique way using the Nintendo DS stylus and the touch screen. You can then use the Pokémon to help you bypass terrains (like logs, boulders, ice chunks, etc.), or when trying to capture other Pokémon.
Partner Pokémon
The first game, Pokémon Ranger, allows the player to have either Plusle or Minun as a Partner Pokémon. Now the player can have up to 17 partner Pokémon (one for each type) but may only use one at a time. The first partner Pokémon is a Starly, a Munchlax, or a Pachirisu. (spoiler alert): These 3 partners you can get from the main plot, but for the others you are required to complete certain quests.
- Mime Jr. (Main Plot)
- Cranidos (Quests)
- Kricketot (Main Plot)
- Piplup (Quests)
- Machop (Quests)
- Croagunk (Quests)
- Munchlax (Main Plot and Optional)
- Starly (Main Plot and Optional)
- Pachirisu (Main Plot and Optional)
- Shieldon (Quests)
- Chimchar (Quests)
- Hippopotas (Quests)
- Gible (Quests)
- Misdreavus (Quests)
- Turtwig (Quests)
- Sneasel (Quests)
- Snover (Quests)
- It takes place in a new region called Almia , near Fiore.
- The catchable Pokémon in the game are the four generations and the total number is 270 species Pokémon. As in the Pokémon Ranger original, not all species appear.
- The Starter Pokémon in the game are no longer limited to only Minun and/or Plusle. But have been extended to a total of 17 different options.
- Besides field movements, the Rangers can now use other types of movements, such as area maps, which allow the player to move faster, for example, riding or flying in Doduo or Staraptor
- The grabber has been improved and now allows for more energy and friendship Pokémon transmitted to last longer during capture.
- Errands are introduced, small missions that are not mandatory, only reward you with a small amount of experience.
- You can get new Pokémon Diamond and Pearl as Darkrai, an egg of Manaphy and Riolu with Aura Sphere, through special missions.
- From the main menu also changes if it's day (on the top screen will be the day) and if it is dark (in the upper display will be at night).
The main antagonist of this series is the Team Dim Sun, who aims to control all the Pokémon in the Almia region.
Team Dim Sun was hired by Blake Hall, who is the president of the Altru Inc. The commanders are Lavana, Ice, Heath, and of course, the boss is Mr. Kincaid.

In Minnesota, a few guys who work at Targets have confirmed that Target is/has recieving multiple shipments... a couple of stores that had sold through what they had in the back, got in 3-4 more cases in over the weekend.If your store runs out, there is definitely the possibility of a re-stock... not a guarantee, but definitely a possiblity.
Maybe the best way to approach the dpci trick is to say another store gave you the number and referred you to them because their computers showed these were still available here.
Seriously....You guys should stop complaining and just wait for Target to put them out. No need for the rise in blood pressure over some toys that Target won't let you have early. It's not like this is the next greatest toy that you'll never be able to find unless you pull the DPCI trick. There was plenty left last time and I'm sure it will be no different this time around. Patience...

Brown uses Stanley Cup to help military familiesby Dave Lozo
ITHACA, N.Y. -- When Dustin Brown finally learned when he'd spend his official day with the Stanley Cup, his first thought wasn't about how he'd like to party with it at local bars.
His first thought wasn't about how he'd love have his three sons, Jake, Mason and Cooper, drink chocolate milk from its top, like they did in Los Angeles.
Dustin Brown's day with the CupBy Dave Lozo - NHL.com Staff Writer
A rainy day in Ithaca, N.Y. couldn't put a damper on Dustin Brown's day with the Stanley Cup, as he brought the greatest trophy in sports to his hometown for family and friends to enjoy.
His first thought wasn't about all the places he would take it in his hometown so he could relive his high school glory days as a state champion in ice hockey.
His first thought was about family.
Christopher Bordoni, the cousin of Dustin's wife, Nicole, was critically wounded during an attack by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan in January and died from his injuries 10 weeks later in San Antonio. At the time of the attack, Brown was on an off-day preparing for his Los Angeles Kings to play host to the Calgary Flames the following night.
Brown was away from his hometown then, but he made sure to do what he could for servicemen like Bordoni and their families during his day with the Cup on Saturday.
"The whole community rallied around the Bordoni family at that time," Brown said. "When we talked about doing a public event, the first thing me and my wife thought -- we always do a lot of charity stuff -- we had Semper Fi right at the top of the list. It was a good fit."
Semper Fi is short for The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund, a nonprofit set up to provide immediate financial support for injured and critically ill members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.
"They provide relief in any way you can imagine," said Carol Sprague, Bordoni's mother, who lost her job while taking care of her son. "They'll provide support with lost wages, if family members have to leave their jobs to take care of their injured service member. If we had a need, all we had to do was ask. Financially, I couldn't have done it without Semper Fi."
So when the Browns had a chance to use the Stanley Cup to help, they did.
The first order of business for the Kings captain Saturday morning was a three-hour photo session at the Ithaca High School football field. About 1,000 people showed for the event, some of whom arrived as early as 4 a.m. to get a spot at the front of the line for the 9 a.m. start.
Brown didn't charge for the photo opportunity, but he made one request: Help out if you can.
Donations were requested from anyone taking a photo, and raffle tickets were sold for a chance to win a miniature replica Stanley Cup and a personal photo with Brown at $5 apiece and $20 for five tickets.
The rain-soaked attendees donated $12,176 to the cause, a total that doesn't include private donations given to Brown by the Ithaca Police and Fire Departments later in the day.
For the Bordoni family, they know exactly how important that money will be. The family said some of the ways Semper Fi provided assistance were flight reimbursements for trips from New York to Texas, help with paying for rental cars while visiting Christopher at the military hospital in San Antonio, and countless other ways, including achieving a sense of normalcy in a time when nothing is normal.
"They think of things we need before we needed them," Sprague said. "These guys are coming home without their limbs. There were a lot of organizations that helped us, but primarily it was Semper Fi that helped us."
Tim Bordoni, Christopher's father, said, "Semper Fi has been amazing. They have the experience. We didn't know where we were or anything."
"When we talked about doing a public event, the first thing me and my wife thought -- we always do a lot of charity stuff -- we had Semper Fi right at the top of the list. It was a good fit."
-- Kings captain Dustin Brown
Casey Bordoni, Christopher's brother, added, "They're not just helping us -- they're helping every single family they can help. They need the funds from today and they need fundraising to help our most valuable heroes."
Brown helped not only with money, but also emotionally.
After the Stanley Cup paid a visit to the police, fire and rescue branches, Brown, his wife and the family of Christopher, including his widow, Jesse, visited his grave site at Calvary Cemetery in Ithaca. The media, which was included in every aspect of Brown's day with the Cup, was asked to respect the privacy of everyone involved.
The Bordoni family did not want to discuss the visit, but Christopher's father described what it meant to have the Brown family immediately think of them during a time when most hockey players would be celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
"The first thing that Dustin thought of, which is awesome, was how to help out," Tim Bordoni said. "Throughout Dustin's whole career, they helped out charities. This is personal to them because it's their cousin. That's the person they thought of after everything -- not this party, not any other public event. Helping out Semper Fi was the first thing they thought of."

The Worst Colors to Use in a Home
By Melissa Dittmann Tracey, REALTOR(R) Magazine
Emerald may be this year's color of the year and hot hue, but which colors should you avoid?
Color research tells us some colors to avoid. Colors that can be considered, as some researchers note, "eye irritants" and can even cause headaches or mess with your vision.
According to color research, the worst offending color:
Yellow as a "pure bright lemon."
"More light is reflected by bright colors, resulting in excessive stimulation of the eyes," researchers note. "Yellow is an eye irritant. Babies cry more in yellow rooms, husbands and wives fight more in yellow kitchens, and opera singers throw more tantrums in yellow dressing rooms."
That said, yellow is the first color the human eye tends to notice so in small doses it may be effective. It can help you draw attention to an item when used as an accent color. Also, using yellow in softer tints or in small quantities may not be such a turn-off.
A recent article at Homesessive.com ("Paint Color Trends to Avoid") pinpointed trendy color combos that may have once been a turn-on that are now becoming a turn-off in home interiors. San Francisco color expert Kelly Berg recently weighed in at Homesessive.com about some trendy color combinations to avoid, such as:
- "Greige": The gray and beige combo in a space to create a monochromatic effect. Instead, Berg recommends pulling in some accent colors, likegrassy greens, to make the space more warm and inviting. She also recommends mixing in reflective surfaces, such as glass and metal, to lighten up the room since gray tends to absorb more light than other hues.
- Chocolate brown and blue: This trendy color combo of a chocolate brown and Tiffany's blue may be growing tiresome in home interiors. Berg recommends freshening up the look by adding a third color to the mix, such as hot pink, coral, or metallics in silver or gold.
- Red, Gold and Green: This go-to rustic color pattern also may be beginning to grow stale in interiors. Berg recommends avoiding using all three colors in equal portions when you have a tri-color scheme in a home. She also recommends keeping the saturation levels of the color similar, but not exactly the same to liven up the look.
- The all white kitchen: A kitchen all in white can look fresh and clean, but the look may be getting overdone and growing dull. Liven it up by pulling in some color from an adjacent space or pull a color from the dishes, Berg says. For example, if the home owner has blue dishes, you might try using deep indigo as an accent color.
Have you found any color combos that are big turn-offs in a space? Weigh in on what you think works–and doesn't–with color!
I agree – the real and chocolate combo has become tiresome. As has red in dining rooms, the shocking pink in girls' rooms and deep blue in boys' rooms.
In all – white bathroom or kitchen, try black on the ceiling.
Greige? That's nuts.. my gf had it in her old apartment and all of her colorful items/furniture worked really well with it. We're about to do it in our new house too, if you want to see how terrible it looks, check out the website I'm linking over the next few months. 🙂 (I don't disagree with the whole post though)
There are urban legends of color often mistaken for "color research". Despite what the links on the www purport, there is no research that proves babies cry more in yellow rooms or that people fight more or any of that silly stuff. Here's a podcast on yellow that might be useful: http://thelandofcolor.com/the-color-yellow-colorpodz-19/
Shared on Facebook page. Thank you.
I think this is a discussion about two different dynamics. Paint color when staging a home for sale may differ from that which may be used for decorating. The "Restoration Hardware" gray walls with white and linen furniture is hugely popular in both staging and decorating. If you search the word "kitchen" on Pinterest.com, 99% of the pinned photos are of white kitchens. I would disagree with that prediction too, as we love to see our Builders using white kitchens! (look at Christopher Peacock kitchens) What is changing is the addition of reclaimed woods and metals. I think using color when staging your home is a balancing act and most of the time a neutral is always your best bet. Save your color preferences for your new home.
Stayci Fast, MIRM
New England Staging & Interiors, Boston, MA
White kitchens, accented with bright colored curtains, throw rugs and artwork, work well in resort & second home markets, particularly here on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
When you tire of the color of the accent pieces, it's much less expensive to replace the curtains, throw rugs and artwork than to replace the kitchen cabinets.
My friends and I differ on color preferences in our own homes. While attempting to find the right gray for my own bedroom, I have two "color expert" friends who insist on trying to change my mind about the color. I painted my kitchen "squash" and have never tired of the bold color….however, I would never suggest a client paint any of my personal color preferences in their homes…
Excellent article. Color is the spice to our living spaces. The stronger the spice the less you use, least it be too over powering . I use neutrals in staging & accents of color to 'drive' & 'control' the visitors eye around the room and to entice them to enter the room and stay a few moments to appreciate the space. I call it visual carrots. Greige is fine for decorating as it is a good background to show off art & personality of the room – it's color's best mate, but it must be offset with painted trim. I don't like it for staging as it has the opposite purpose.
Some of the 'tired' color combos as mentioned depends on where you live. Parts of the Midwest will always be years behind the coasts. I do agree with adding the coral & metallic to the blue/brown scheme & have. Same for the classic red/green/gold trio – it's all in proportion & moderation.
Great post on colors! I ask my stagers to pick all of the colors and now I have a staged and well matched homes. some homes require specific colors to either highlight the amenities of the home or help to overcome a lack of certain upgrades.
I still see those Greish colors in new construction, along with a lot of blue/grey colors in Fairfield County, CT. But we are a coastal community, so I would expect to see those colors – they complement the natural beachy colors seen all around us!
With all due respect, designers are like heath care "experts". They all come up with ideas for a better way to do things, and they all contradict each other in terms of what's in and what's out. The bottom line is that they interject their own personal preferences. Other than playing safe by using more neutral colors, there is no fool proof, one-size-fits all way to paint your home that will enhance staging or guarantee a sale. Paint is a very cheap fix compared to other remodeling costs. A buyer would be dumber than dirt to avoid purchasing a great home simply because the paint colors did not suit them.

The battle for Wikipedia's soul.
To be or not to be, that is the question facing the world's biggest encyclopedia Wikipedia, where editors from opposing "factions" are arguing about the direction editorial policy should take.
…Wikipedia is facing an identity crisis as it is torn between two alternative futures. It can either strive to encompass every aspect of human knowledge, no matter how trivial; or it can adopt a more stringent editorial policy and ban articles on trivial subjects, in the hope that this will enhance its reputation as a trustworthy and credible reference source. These two conflicting visions are at the heart of a bitter struggle inside Wikipedia between "inclusionists", who believe that applying strict editorial criteria will dampen contributors' enthusiasm for the project, and "deletionists" who argue that Wikipedia should be more cautious and selective about its entries.
Quite a long read, but of interest especially if you reference Wikipedia in your writing and are concerned about what information you may, or may not, be able to eventually link to.

Heating System Maintenance
Basic maintenance on your heating system is relatively simple and easy to do. And, doing it on a regular basis will not only help with your overall driving comfort, it will also help prevent overheating, which is the most common cause of breakdowns.
The heating system works off of the same coolant that circulates throughout your engine. It is circulated from the radiator through a series of hoses and the heater valve into the heater core. A fan then blows the hot air into the compartment.
In the following procedure, you will learn how to change your antifreeze (which should be done every 30,000 miles or so), as well as install a new thermostat. To do this procedure, you will need: socket and screwdriver set, safety goggles, antifreeze tester, a clean pan, a knife, a freshwater flush kit, a garden hose and several bottles of antifreeze. You may need to replace the thermostat and heater control valve.
Getting started:
Unscrew the pressure cap on your radiator. WARNING: never release the pressure cap if the engine is warm. Always wear your safety goggles when working around units under pressure.
Take your antifreeze tester and insert the tubing into your radiator. It will show you to what temperature your antifreeze is effective. If the temperature in your area will get below its effectiveness point, it is time to change the antifreeze. It is a good idea to change the antifreeze periodically, since, over time, the antifreeze can turn acidic and eventually corrode the radiator.
Starting the freshwater flush.
Although chemical flushes can be effective, nothing works better than the freshwater flush to get rid of all the accumulated sediment, contaminants and rust. To start the procedure, place your clean pan underneath of the radiator and open the petcock valve on the bottom of the radiator, which allows the antifreeze to drain out into the pan. After it has stopped draining, shut the valve again. WARNING: Antifreeze is toxic. You should always keep children and pets away from it. Also, make sure you always recycle your old antifreeze.
Install the T-fitting.
Take your knife and cut the heater inlet hose. Take the T-fitting from your flush kit and insert it into the hose using the hose clamps. Then, take the radiator adapter, attach a hose to one end and attach the other to the radiator. Put the hose into your drain pan.
Next, screw your garden hose into the T-fitting on your heater inlet hose and turn on the hose. At this time, water and antifreeze should start to drain into the pan. Start the car and turn the heater on max. This will backflush antifreeze in the entire system.
As soon as the water draining from the radiator starts running clean, stop the car and the hose. Open the petcock valve again, and drain the water. Don't forget to also empty the overflow tank that is beside the engine.
Replace the thermostat.
A new thermostat is like low-cost insurance for your car. It works well to make sure that your engine doesn't overheat and gets to operating temperature quickly. Remove the thermostat housing and unscrew the thermostat assembly. Simply take the new one and put it back into the socket. Before you replace the housing, attach the gasket to it for easier installation.
Replace the antifreeze.
Most cars will require a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water, although in colder climates a 70/30 mix is recommended. Check your owner's manual to find out exactly how much antifreeze you will need to put in. Fill the radiator and reservoir with antifreeze first and then add water to fill it to the top. Finally, replace the pressure cap and you are done.
Always work slowly and carefully, and you should be able to complete this task successfully. If you don't feel comfortable in doing any of the procedures, don't hesitate to take your car to one of the ASE-certified technicians at Pep Boys.

Note: Even if you're not going to BricksCascade, I'd appreciate your ideas!
BricksCascade in Portland is coming up in March (the 9th and 10th), and I want Castle to have a respectable showing there. I figure if Castle can dominate BrickCon, there's no reason not to spread that domination south!
By December 1st I have to turn in an overall write-up for the Castle theme for the web site, including any special competitions that will be run, any awards that will be given, and any trophies that will be awarded.
So, here are some topics on which I'd like the community's input:
1. Should we have an overarching theme? As an example, a year or two ago Castle looked to Game of Thrones and went with the tagline "Winter is Coming". We could focus on themes from mythical to magical to natural.
2. What awards/trophies should we have?
Examples might include:
Best Castle Building
Awarded to the best single structure in the theme.
Best Castle Scene
Awarded to the MOC that best tells a compelling story of medieval or fantasy life.
Best Castle Character
Awarded for the best single figure, hero, villain, or monster.
or whatever else we can dream up.
(If you propose a category, also help propose the criteria on which it should be judged.)
All ideas and suggestions are appreciated!

Georgia inside linebacker Alec Ogletree was projected by some as a top-ten pick before his recent DUI arrest. While it's unclear how far Ogletree could drop due to the incident, there's a chance it will take him all the way to No. 32.
And right into the hands of the defending Super Bowl champions who are losing a fairly well known inside linebacker.
Already, the speculation is beginning that Ogletree could slide all the way to the Ravens, especially since the DUI comes less than a year after Ogletree was suspended four games by the Bulldogs for a positive drug test.
Ogletree has plenty of time to try to minimize the loss of millions that will come from the failure to fork over a few dollars for a cab, and with last year's defensive character risks all panning out pretty well so far (Janoris Jenkins, Alfonzo Dennard, and Vontaze Burfict) there's a chance Ogletree will go higher than expected.
Still, if he makes it all the way down the the bottom of round one, the Ravens have more than enough goodwill in Baltimore to justify rolling the dice on a guy who with a visit or two from Ray Lewis could be inspired to stay out of trouble, permanently.

Finally, the Rumpelstiltskin of the tournament can weave chalk into gold, unless Kevin Love rains full-court chest pass threes all game. John Caliperi and Ben Howland would like to reserve their respective Final Four fortunes of years past. But remember: Larry Brown looms above all. And that's fine, so long as there's not a repeat of the dilatory pacing of the 50-45 UCLA win over Mem-PHUS Tuh-nuh-SEE in the tourney two years ago.
Joey Dorsey has to play down his embarrassing domination at the hands of Greg Oden last year and Darren Collison needs to shake the specter of last year's performance in the title game. Each will have their hands full dealing with the likes of Kevin Love and Derrick Rose.
I'll be blogging the game from a bar in Adams Morgan in D.C., celebrating the [undisclosed] birthday of some blogger woman. (I hope she enjoys the glass ceiling I got her!) But, anyway, yeah, Adams Morgan. If there's a delay, it just means I've tripped over the mounds of douchebags.

PGG allowed me to have a first contact with the management area, providing me with tools that I can easily apply in my professional career. Apart from being rewarding, it is a program that enables us, by its flexibility, with an apprenticeship adapted to our needs and demands of our professional life.
Above all, it is a quality program through which we are able to acquire further knowledge in a structured and practical way.
With the PGG program, I definitely acquired a set of knowledge that I was looking for to develop in the Management, Marketing, and Finance areas.
The fact that it is a modular program allowed me to build the right study plan and, this way, I have made the most of my time. The wide experience and expertise of the teaching staff, the dynamic of the classes, and the synergy between professionals of several areas were a real asset.
In my regard, this program was an excellent investment for my future professional challenges!
On the one hand, I chose the PGG program due to the faculty's prestige and the quality of the subjects; on the other hand due to the fact that this program is targeted to the executives who are beginning their careers, whishing to perform duties in future management area.
This program has largely exceeded my expectations, not only for the quality of teaching and excellent organization, but above all by the sharing of experiences among peers and teachers which has proven to be an asset on the acquisition of knowledge.
The PGG program was a conscious e very pragmatic decision to make especially focused on Marketing. It is the ideal course for those, like myself, are connected to the commercial area and want to achieve practical insights and technical know-how. The initial purpose was absolutely accomplished and was connected to three variables of satisfaction: increasing and consolidating marketing knowledge; expanding horizons, and taking into account new solutions for usual questions, and also acquiring ways of acting in corporate Marketing. I became a fan and I will definitely come back.
The PGG program has been an experience of networking and new apprenticeships that surprises me to each new module and class. The relevant subjects helps us on a daily basis and, for those coming from different business areas, it is a place where it is possible to acquire new tools and broaden existing knowledge.
The modular and flexible structure of this program combined with a two session methodology with assessment allows to effectively combine the professional demands with a quality training.
I am much more prepared to deal with everyday challenges in my professional area. The acquired knowledge and sharing experiences have enhanced my development and responsiveness on an increasingly dynamic marketplace. The acquired competences on PGG program are the key to success in an increasingly competitive business world.
In an increasingly competitive and constantly changing labor market, it is imperative to update and increase knowledge and skills.
The main reason for having enrolled in the PGG program was to acquire know-how in the management area, thus completing my initial training.
Another important factor was the high-quality teaching staff on a first-rate program. This is absolutely an asset, mainly due to participants from different business areas, and by sharing experiences, it was possible to achieve the necessary skills to a better performance at both academic and professional levels.
With a background in Engineering, and recently having accepted a new challenge on developing a small family business, especially in such a difficult and complicated time, the knowledge I have accomplished during this course was extremely important. We meet people from different business areas, in class, which enhance the strong theoretical component of the course with a great ambiance and networking spirit.
I strongly recommend this program!
The corporate communication requires a critical and close look from the professionals toward the market evolution, the imposed trends within and outside the companies, as a condition to develop suitable strategies that follow the success of business guidelines. In this regard, it is essential to be familiar with the language and good practices of management and marketing as well as its grounds.
This was the set of solid insights, with the potential to be further developed, that I acquired in the PGG program.
I felt the need to study more, to understand better the current paradigm in Management and Marketing, and also to develop the academic dimension of my career, by joining in a program for executives.
"Recycling" knowledge is the common denominator for the professional progress and CATÓLICA-LISBON is the right place to do it so.
Balance is the predominant feature of this course with regard to: the expertise of the faculty among academia and industry; the pragmatic content of the course; the range of Management concepts and its implementation on practical cases; and the necessary effort of each participant to achieve good results. The fact that each module has an assessment allows us to reinforce assimilate knowledge during the term without compromising the professional demands of the participants.
As a staff member of a SME, I have experience at both technical and commercial levels. The opportunity to enroll in the PGG program with a specialization in Finance, either by the topics discussed, or by the quality and availability of the teaching staff, further improved my education. It also provided me with tools that will certainly be very helpful in my professional life. As expected, the high-quality of the faculty exceeded my expectations, and participating in this course was an excellent and self upgrade.
