Why is Britain burning? One British writer has the answer — one we need to hear on this side of the pond.
London is one of my favorite cities. I am shocked and grieved at the sight of rioting, looting, and burning. Why is it happening?
Well, I'm no expert on the sociology of Great Britain, but the words of British historian and journalist Max Hastings ring true.
Writing in the Daily Mail, he says, "The people who wrecked swathes of property, burned vehicles and terrorised communities have no moral compass to make them susceptible to guilt or shame…They know no family role models, for most live in homes in which the father is unemployed, or from which he has decamped. They are illiterate and innumerate, beyond maybe some dexterity with computer games and BlackBerries."
As a result, he says they're looking for fun, for something to make their lives interesting. As one female looter told the media, they wanted to show the rich and the police "we can do what we like." And what they like is stealing and destroying.
Where are these "feral children" coming from? Hastings's answers sound ominously familiar.
First, he says, these young people are utterly adrift. "Nobody," he writes, "has ever dared suggest to them that they need feel any allegiance to anything, least of all Britain or their community." And I would add their God or their fellow human beings. They are functional nihilists; people who believe in nothing except satisfying their urges.
Second, Hastings says, "The [liberal] social engineering industry unites to claim that the conventional template of family life is no longer valid." Single motherhood is encouraged, fathers are missing.
Finally, British schools are basket cases: teachers have lost control and are frequent victims of threats and curses.
Hastings concludes, these young hellions "are the product of a culture which gives them so much unconditionally that they are let off learning how to become human beings."
Folks, Hastings's brilliant if bleak analysis is right on, and we are right behind the Brits. For more than 35 years in the prisons, I've seen the results of family breakdown, of young men turning to the gangs because they had no male role model. In our overflowing prisons, I've seen first-hand what Harvard professors James Q. Wilson and Richard Herrnstein concluded: Crime, they said, is caused by a lack of moral training in the morally formative years.
This is the reason I've devoted so much time and effort to studying and promoting ethics — to rebuilding the ethical and moral foundations of our society. It's why we wrote the Manhattan Declaration — to protect marriage and the family. It's why Robby George, Brit Hume, and I created "Doing the Right Thing"– our six-part DVD series on ethics. If you haven't seen it, now's the time — with your family, your small group, your church. We have all the information you need at DoingtheRightThing.com.
Surveying the wreckage in London, Hastings hits the nail on the head: Liberal opinion holds that these feral children are victims, but not in the way we normally think of victimhood. They are, he writes, "victims of a perverted social ethos which elevates personal freedom to an absolute, and denies the underclass the discipline — tough love — which alone might enable some of its members to escape the swamp of dependency in which they live."
Well, the Brits are waking up to the smoke-and rubble-filled reality. The urgent question for us is this: Will we?
How the liberals ruined Britain

It's hard to get fresh fruits this time of year. The selection at the grocery store is limited and the prices seem to be going up each week.
For a special treat and a little variety, you may want to try a pineapple. If you can't find fresh, it's always available in the canned fruit section.
Although available year round, the peak season for Hawaiian pineapple is late spring into summer and Caribbean pineapples have two seasons: December through February and August through September.

Sugar Rush: Blowtorched Creme Brulee Beignets at Donut-o-Rama in Portland, OR
It's a bit daring to open a doughnut cart mere steps from Portland's touristy hotspot Voodoo Doughnut, but Greg Slauson had a vision. And we're not certain we've seen so much blowtorching in a food cart anywhere.
Slauson has regular beignets on the menu, but the real draw at Donut-O-Rama is the creme brulée beignet.
The filling is Boston Cream custard (ok, Jell-O custard) enhanced with vanilla bean, five spice, and vanilla extract, but you're there for the crisp burnt-sugar top, which happens by torching two layers of sprinkled sugar on the just-fried beignet. The final product is hot; so hot that Slauson suggests waiting until you've walked about two blocks of cool-off time before attempting to bite in.
There's a lot going on, but the beignet itself shines through, fresh and yeasty. He makes 20 cups of dough at a time, using a recipe that riffs on Paula Deen (Slauson adds shortening and some brown sugar.)
On our visit, he was also experimenting with a Nutella-filled beignet, topped with toasted hazelnuts and powdered sugar. If you're looking for a sugar high, this is a gutsy way to go.

Monarchs Sign 6-7 Forward Valdas Vasylius
By ODU Athletics
Nov. 14, 2002
NORFOLK, VA. -- Old Dominion University head basketball coach Blaine Taylor announced the signing of 6-7, 215-pound forward Valdas Vasylius from Norfolk Collegiate High School. Vasylius, is from Klaipeda, Lithuania.
"Valdus is a very pleasing piece of the puzzle that we are putting together," said Taylor. "We identified quite early that he offered the best fit of the talent pool in our region. In evaluating what we graduate and what we have returning, he is just what the doctor ordered."
Vasylius averaged 19.6 points and 12.2 rebounds per game as a junior for Collegiate coach Jim Markey. He earned first team honors in the Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools and honorable mention All-State honors. Vasylius was selected to the All-Tournament squad in the Oscar Smith Christmas Tournament. He scored 37 points and hauled in 22 rebounds in Collegiates 101-95 victory over Independent State runner-up Benedictine.
"We feel Valdus' preparation for our setting will be enhanced by the fact he will have good academic preparation from Norfolk Collegiate and the program that Jim Markey has built will help prepare his basketball growth," said Taylor. "The bottom line, we feel Valdus is the kind of player and person that will help us build a proud program."
"In general this gives us half a dozen signings in the last 18-months," adds Taylor. "We feel good about the nucleus we have assembled. As always we have a number of irons in the fire. We have been cautious and selective with the pieces we are putting together with this group."
Since coming to ODU in the Spring of 2001, Taylor and his staff have signed the following:
John Morris 6-1 G Camp Hill, PA. (Spring 2002) Isaiah Hunter, 6-2 G Charlotte, NC. (Fall 2001) Kiah Thomas 6-4 F-G Norfolk, Va. (Summer 2001) Alex Loughton 6-9 F Perth, Australia (Spring 2002) Janko Mrksic 6-10 C Ontario, Canada (Fall 2001)

Many large consumer packaged goods (CPG) players have lost touch with the needs of city shoppers, allowing niche brands to gain market share.
To woo these consumers back into the fold, CPG companies need to adopt a city-specific route-to-market approach. When they do, Accenture Strategy has seen growth as high as 30 percent.
CPG consumption is expected to reach $13.2 trillion by 2025 in developed market major cities, accounting for 60 percent of total CPG consumption in major cities globally.
Those who win in major cities win the growth game.READ THE REPORT [PDF]
The top 15 cities in developed markets have a growth potential over 3X that of their emerging market counterparts. While absolute dollar growth of shopper spending in emerging market cities is 37 percent higher than in developed market cities, the opportunity is more concentrated in developed markets.
When city shoppers are not offered their own journey map, they migrate to a competitor who will give it to them. The city route-to-market needs to be fine-tuned to liquid shopper expectations, cater to the abundance of physical and digital fulfillment options, and differentiate a company from its competitors.
City shoppers want holistic consumer experiences. City shoppers were early adopters of replenishment subscription-based shopping, ecommerce and other new business models. Globally, city shoppers are more than twice as likely as suburban/rural shoppers to adopt new business models as their dominant or secondary way of purchasing.
Understand the city shopper journey map. Develop a dynamic shopper experience model based on needs specific to city shoppers. Remember that the diversity inherent in a single mile in a developed market city can far surpass that of many suburbs.
Build capabilities that support executing a city-specific strategy. Establish a salesforce coverage model that targets micro geographic segments, including means to identify "hot zones" with a high concentration of stores and purchasing power.
Partner with providers who can deliver the experience your city shopper wants. Partnerships serve to provide new ways to reach and fulfill the needs of your shopper.

Although you can no longer shop with us online, you can still order our exceptional produce for delivery through Ocado. You can also find our fruit & vegetables in our shops, in Whole Foods and on the menus of top restaurants around London.
We began selling fresh food online ten years ago, connecting some of the country's best growers, butchers, fishmongers and cheesemongers on one website. Working with producers who shared our commitment to flavour, we were determined to change the quality of food available in the UK.
Two years later, we decided to specialise in sourcing fruit & vegetables, developing close relationships with growers across Europe. From the citrus groves of Sicily to the Rhubarb sheds of west Yorkshire, we went to great lengths to source fruit & vegetables that had been grown for flavour.
This stood in stark contrast to the produce found in supermarkets, where most fruit & vegetables were available year-round. With produce being imported from afar and growing seasons being extended beyond anything found in nature, people were becoming increasingly disconnected from what fresh produce should taste like. Standards for the cosmetic appearance of produce were also making it harder for consumers to recognise real signs of flavour in their fruit & vegetables.
Today, our goal is to challenge many of the misconceptions surrounding the fruits & vegetables that we eat. To achieve this, a hands-on, in-store experience seems more important than ever. We want to encourage people to taste produce in our shops, ask questions, and truly understand how fruit & vegetables develop their flavour.
You can still order our produce through Ocado, but our focus is to give everyone the chance to try our fruit & vegetables firsthand by sampling them in our shops.

Bob Harris' '39 Ford Hot Rod Pickup
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This won't be another love-at-first-sight story. In fact, when Rob Harris of La Habra, California, won the online auction that made him the new owner of this '39 Ford pickup, the love was slow to grow. Let's face it, a '39 ain't a '40. With a face only a sow could love, the pig-snout pickup offers a challenge, even for those with vision. Now ordinarily when it comes to vision, Rob is not without it. Rob has built hot rod cars and trucks before, and he does posses the ability to see the inner beauty in most any ol' bucket o' bolts. Even so, he kept this naturally homely ol' truck hidden from view in the deepest, darkest corner of his garage as he continued with other projects. Then finally after a year or so, he decided to sell it. It was just too ugly.
Like Rob, his father Bob Harris is no stranger to hot rodding, and even more coincidentally, at about the same time as Rob's unloved pickup was becoming available, a nicely finished pickup of the same persuasion had caught Bob's eye in his own Carlsbad, California, neighborhood. When Bob learned that Rob's truck was about to be reposted on the very same online auction site it came from, he took immediate action as necessary to thwart his son's pickup-peddling plan. A dual-purpose agreement was reached: ugly as it was, Rob would build it for his dad and the truck would remain in the family ever after. And so, with Bob making the calls concerning engine and powertrain componentry, and Bob's wife, Lynn, putting the final stamp-of-approval on the color selection, Rob's new project got underway with timelessness and sneaky stance being top priorities.
With the ol' truck scattered and its frame stripped to bare bones, Rob began by fabricating a heavy-duty center structure of his own design, which stiffened the ol' Ford's frame as it made room for good things to come. Later after some other necessary upgrades, the frame was powdercoated black by Express Power Coating of Paramount, California. As Rob continued with assembly, the finished rolling chassis became a work of art, most of which would disappear once the cab, bed, and fenders obscured the view. However, this ol' truck has plenty of clever detail changes within sight for those who pay attention.
Currently leading the way is a nickel-plated Super Bell 4-inch-dropped I-beam, a thinned-out stock buggy spring and split 'bones. Out back, the stock buggy spring made way for parallel leaves from SAC Hot Rods in Orange, California. This setup locates a Ford 9-inch posi posterior (also nickel-plated) with 3:25 gears and Moser Engineering axles, narrowed-to-match the stock Ford width by Cook's Machine of Los Angeles, California, while tubular shocks from Pete & Jake's smooth the bumps at all four corners. Rob's chosen guidance system is based on a Vega-type steering box and bracket (again by SAC) with a Limeworks column and banjo steering wheel providing control.
For go power, Bob chose a GM Performance Fast Burn 385 crate engine, topped with an Edelbrock 750 carb. The well-dressed Mooneyes-equipped mill is backed by a Gennie-shifted 700-R4 trans, which was prepared by Jerry's Transmission in Norwalk, California. Down where the sun don't shine, a well-hung exhaust system by Cannon's Muffler Service of La Habra, California, begins with Sanderson headers, and passes the gasses through Magna Flow mufflers and stainless steel twice-pipes. For whoa power, properly adjusted four-wheel manual drum brakes do the job, and they accept Ford steelies, which in turn accept Merc caps just fine.
Like other builders, Rob will bring in a ringer now and then for certain chores. After a thorough abrasive blasting, the cab and doors were sealed in cellophane for a rainy day trailer ride to a place where gappin' happens; Gopher Grove Garage (an underground operation) in Valley Center, California. What's the first thing most of us zero in on when scrutinizing bodywork on any elderly vehicle? We go for the gaps, don't we? And when we see an ol' commercial vehicle that fits well, we know it didn't come that way from the assembly line. Nope, somebody worked for that. As dictated by heightened standards, cutting, welding, and grinding are now considered standard procedure for gittin' the gaps you see here. After a series of surgeries which included some panel patchin' in the usual places, ironing out the wrinkled roof and tightening up the oil-canning rear cab panel, the once-warped cab and doors were one; fit, faired and in primer, as together they reassumed their positions on the newly completed chassis for a fair weather trailer ride home to Rob's garage.
As Rob proceeded with the bulk of the build, another ringer was recruited for bodywork on remaining panels such as fenders, hood, running boards and more. The list could go on and on, even the repop bed assembly needed attention. Mikey Rhodes of La Mirada, California, picked up the pieces and saw the job through, from pounding to painting, to polishing the fresh Dupont topcoats in Ford Estate Green. The color is complemented by green tinted glass by Pete's Auto Glass in Santa Fe Springs, California, and interior trim in light brown leather tuck 'n' roll with upholstered door trim panels and a wool headliner was stitched by "Rich and Famous" of Van Nuys, California. Rounding out the cab's interior is instrumentation from a '37 Ford passenger car, rebuilt by Speedo-Check in Whittier, California.
Back on the subject of ringers: Rob doesn't rely on many, but after wiring and final assembly were completed in his garage, a trip to Ed Martin Garage in Riverside, California, was in order. There our friend, Guardrail Willie Martin tuned the engine and applied his expertise to the ol' pickup's new Vintage Air setup, which works together with a three-row recore radiator to keep the cool factor flowing throughout, thanks to La Habra Radiator, in La Habra, California.
Although the details of its past are sketchy, there were signs from the very beginning that this ol' pickup has spent a good number of its years with hot rodders. Now as agreed upon, it's with the Harris family of hot rodders to stay. It's been four years now since the project began, and at its 2011 Grand National Roadster Show public debut, the one-time ugly truckling (yes, a '39!) managed a First Place victory in its class.
Beauty they say is in the eye of the beholder, but Bob sums it up best, "I couldn't be happier with the way the truck turned out, Rob seems to have a good eye for detail and quality; he really made me proud. I know he is happy with the way it turned out, and I bet he's even happier to have his garage back!" CCT

President Barack Obama's critics are shocked, shocked to hear him sound in his second inaugural address like what he is, a liberal progressive. One wonders what they expected.
What happened to jobs, they ask? What about the deficit? The budget? The debt ceiling? The dangerous world overseas? Why didn't he reach out, some ask, with more soaring rhetoric and bipartisanship as Abraham Lincoln did in the gold standard of second inaugural speeches, to bind wounds with the warring Confederacy?
In other words, how dare he wage a vigorous defense of what he really believes?
The problem with that critique is that it requires more than a little amnesia about the debate this country has been having over the past couple of years about the role of government.
I'm all in favor of bipartisan outreach. But there's an important difference between, say, Obama's current situation and that of Lincoln's time.
When Lincoln reached out "(w)ith malice toward none, with charity for all" to "bind up the nation's wounds" and "do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace," the Civil War was in its last days. Today's polarized political debate is only entering a new phase.
Compared to the feverish tone of last year's presidential campaign, Obama's speech on the brink of his second term was only clarifying the differences between his goals and those who would like to stop him.
After all, when he called out those who "deny the overwhelming judgment of science" on climate change or refuse to allow love to be "equal" or seem to promote "perpetual war" or oppose the right of women to "earn a living equal to their efforts," he wasn't talking about all Republicans.
And when he spoke of those who believe that Medicare and Social Security "sap our initiative" and would leave some people to spend their "twilight years ... in poverty" and reserving freedom "for the lucky," he wasn't talking about all conservatives.
But if the shoe fits, wear it.
In his final inaugural address, the president sounded like a man who knows his clock is running out. To press the issues for which he wants to be remembered, the four-year calendar is misleading. He appears to know that he has only a few months at best before his congressional opposition turns their attention to their own 2014 reelection prospects -- and make it much harder for him to get anything done.
He seemed to be signaling that he has learned from experience. Today's political landscape is polarized. There really are red states and blue states in the USA. People sort themselves out into neighborhoods, partly according to how they vote. Computerized remapping leads increasingly to safe seats for congressmen in both parties, as long as they toe extremely partisan lines -- and pander sometimes to those who "treat name-calling as reasoned debate."
This speech unveiled Obama 2.0, the sequel to the Washington newcomer who was caught off guard by a backlash from the Republicans' Tea Party right wing not seen in Washington since the days of "white backlash," as the media dubbed the grass-roots conservative reaction to the Rev. Martin Luther King's civil rights revolution in the 1960s.
Much has changed since those days. But Obama, who has avoided talking much about race for fear of being accused of racial favoritism, did more than pay the usual obligatory tributes to King's birthday holiday and the upcoming 50th anniversary of King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
Obama 2.0 updated the agenda to include today's big items, particularly marriage equality, climate change, women's rights and comprehensive immigration reform.
And he presented them in the fashion of Theodore Roosevelt's populist "square deal," not only as a way for hard-working individuals to get ahead in life regardless of their conditions of birth but as investments in the nation's future.
His opposition disagrees. That's OK. That's their job. But these are the issues on which Obama, repeatedly invoking "We the People," is betting his legacy. Let the people decide.

Developing a platform for learning from mistakes, with Dr Sinead Millwood
Dr Sinead Millwood, a junior doctor in England, talks through her innovative quality improvement project.
Junior doctors commonly make mistakes which may compromise patient safety. Despite the recent push by the NHS to encourage a "no blame" culture, mistakes are still viewed as shameful, embarrassing and demoralising events.
Dr Millwood taught sessions on "learning from mistakes" and discusses how she implemented her project to change attitudes about discussing such mistakes

Etude House is one of my favourite Korean brands at the moment (Korean brands at the moment are over taking Japanese ranges in my favourites list!).
Plus I love cherries (don't talk to me if you don't like cherries) and I love cream blusher so what could be a wiser buy that this Etude House Fresh Cherry Blusher Duo?
In this cute compact is two shades of cream blusher, one side pink, one side a coral peach – that's all any girl needs, right!?
I have to say though it doesn't smell of cherries…a bit disappointing but who wants to smell fruit on their face all day?
This compact is interesting – it doesn't look that nice, it's quite plain and the inside has a slightly concave shape. It's still easy enough to carry around with you though…
Both of the shades included in the compact, I think, are very nice. One is a cool toned pink, one is a warm coral pink peach. There is enough difference between the two shades to make them suit different looks…good! I hate it when you get a palette and the shades are all incredibly similar.
Texture wise, these products are lovely too – very creamy, very blendable:
On the downside it isn't that long lasting. This appears on me by midday. It doesn't feel like it 'sets' on the skin like other cream blushers do.
Otherwise I don't have any problems using this product at all, and it's a rather handy, useful addition.
This product is a cute addition, great for anyone who likes bright pink and peach cream blushers. I paid about £8 for this on eBay including shipping.

Tämbourine is firmly placed on my back ,to unsheathe this sword I simply have to say "re clouse" meaning come to me or i can just reach over and unsheathe it the old fashioned way. This sword was created to my liking tambourine is made of raw-like metals I found in different regions as I begun to forge the metals together, I've noticed that the raw metal materials were different pieces to a wide variety of swords that were used the past and present, being so most blades have a sheer grey texture Tambourine's blade became black as the depths of the oceans. The blade expands to 6" which weighs 426lbs the sapphire jewel placed on the tip of hilt (upper middle center of the base) it emits a aura texture of purple which weighs 24lbs the jewel is un-breakable it negates magic for tambourine has a mind of its own only belonging to me it finds a worthy opponents who doesn't use magic or any type of power to their liking which I can agree with(who would want an opponent that abuses their powers to kill for no reason or to avoid dying by honor tambourine fights with honor and accepts its glory or defeat) I've named the sapphire Sophia because not only that its rare and radiant it resembles my burning passion for my love Sophia. I made the hilt to be a length of 15 inches its frame is created with fine katchin (very thick and heavy metal) it alone weighs 50 pounds its texture is black like mixture of, I made it to be a cruciform hilt so it has room for two hands. I I made the blades hilt aprox. 2", the blade is double-edged but the left side of the swords frame can block and or negate ones attack if needed, it weights 500lbs making it nearly unmovable. To go up against this sword is to quickly find your own death. Tambourine is a twin sword to Terra.

My thoughts, as always, on important matters I'm sure you'll agree.
General malaise has also increased my scatter-brained-ness (and my vocabulary, apparently). What I have been thinking about today is:
Topman- has it been sneakily improving behind my back? I know that you are not really a fan, although I maintain that you can find a few gems. Their accessories sale is one of my most favourite hunting grounds for ridiculous bargains. They seem to have some really nice stuff in at the moment, such as this shirt designed by Carolyn Massey
They also have a few hoodies by Siv Stoldal that I have my eye on if I don't find something right on the US trip. Not to mention this! This gold bomber reminds me of something that Kanye would wear. Ok, I'm going to stop pimping out Topman now...
Scarves- I'm definitely going to elaborate on this one at a later date. I don't know about London, but Manchester is COLD today. This has let to me wanting to wrap up even more than usual. This gorgeous multi-coloured scarf by Paul Smith (aka designer I adore right now) is just brill and would be the perfect way to liven up a subdued outfit. A cheaper alternative can be found here for those of you who paid heed to my earlier call to needles. Do let us know if you give it a go!
Blogs I don't understand- not because I'm thick, just because I don't read the language. I found Breach of Style through another blog (I've forgotten which one) and spent a good 10 minutes (which is a lot of time given the headache I'm carrying around today) admiring knitwear and coats and thinking that maybe the 6 or 7 coats I already own isn't REALLY that excessive and that I could probably use 3 or 4 more.
Tetris- enough said.
Normal service will resume once I start feeling like myself again

House Extensions South Shields
Are you feeling walled in at your house? Do you long for more open space and light where the kitchen space streams naturally in to the dining room and garden? At DNA Home Improvements North East Ltd we can extend your property seamlessly. It's all pretty practical and straight forward. We'll be knocking down walls. And there'll be noise and chaos for a short time. But following that you'll be so happy you invested in the upgrade.
We enjoy working with structural engineers and architects to blend structural integrity with aesthetics and a dash of ergonomics. You'll most likely require some Velux roof windows, rolled steel joists to strengthen some walls and widened windows areas. We'll be matching the new brick with the old, the new floorboards or floors with the old, and making sure the electrics are hidden and fittings are consistent through the various areas of your house.
Work start on time, we keep our appointments, and we double-check prior to doing anything you might be billed for. Oftentimes this is about more than just customer satisfaction, and where Building Regulations apply at your venture, you can rely on us to make sure that these are met and passed too.
Open Plan Living
Open-plan living can be as easy as getting rid of the supporting wall between two reception rooms, or widening your home windows and doorways. So if you're fed up with poky, dull reception rooms and you're craving a Scandinavian smorgasbord of space and light, you don't need to move house. You can enjoy it from the comfort of your own lounge when you contract DNA as your building contractor in South Shields.
Some careful thinking about light and space – and the strategic use of steel supports – could be all that's needed. Of course you have gravity and architectural integrity to take into account, which is the reason we install rolled steel joists, or RSJs as they're commonly known, to support the ceilings and upper walls.
Garage Conversions South Shields
Don't move, improve! With a garage conversion completed by our building contractor in South Shields you can add added liveable space to your home.

It's a proven and cost-effective way of getting the very best out of your home. DNA Home Improvements North East Ltd work with our customers to bring great garage conversion ideas to life.

We have a solution for every loft & for every budget. Many home-owners are surprised at how inexpensive that additional room can be & the amount of value it can add onto your property's value. Loft conversions are often used to add a workplace, a rec room, an additional living room and sometimes a luxury en-suite bedroom in the unused space that exists at the top of your house. We are a hugely experienced building contractor in South Shields with experience in all areas and will be able to offer advice as to which type of conversion is excellent for your property and requirements.

Like so many I made my first quilt as a teenager in hexagons cut from Laura Ashley fabric. Since then my quilting journey has led me into teaching and in 2012 I established Brighton Fashion and Textile School to offer City and Guilds accredited courses in Patchwork and Quilting. I regularly contribute to articles for magazines and have worked as technical editor on a number of books about quilting. As a qualified Quilt Judge it is a great privilege to be asked to judge other makers work. You can find out more about the courses I offer by visiting the website http://www.brightonfashionandtextileschool.com
I will once again be attending the Korean Bojagi Forum in Seoul. This time I will be having a solo exhibition of my work and delivering a lecture to the forum. I look forward to meeting the other international makers who are also inspired by this wonderful textile tradtion to create new and innovative work. http://www.bojagiuk.com

How to Prevent Food From Sticking
Love the sear of a stainless skillet but not the way peppers can start to meld to the bottom midway through cooking? A little more oil should help. But don't just pour it over the top of the food or you'll end up with a greasy, soggy mess. Instead, use a metal spatula to loosen the vegetables or meat and push them to one side of the skillet. Then tilt the pan so the empty area is over the heat. Add the oil to the empty area (1 or 2 tablespoons should do it) and let it get hot before moving the food back. The heated oil on the hot pan will create a slick, nonstick surface, guaranteeing a surefire sauté.

If you are thinking about getting a four-legged friend for life, Adopt-A-Dog will have some of its stars on display every second Saturday of the month at Pet Pantry in Greenwich, 290 Railroad Ave. A longtime supporter of Adopt-A-Dog, the store is responsible for providing the shelter's dogs with the wonderful Blue Buffalo dog food.
Visitors can fill out an application at the store on Saturday, Feb. 8, to see some wonderful dogs. Adopt-A-Dog will be accepting applications for the dogs at the store or in its shelter. What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with a dog which will provide unconditional love?
Some people are wary of adopting a dog for a shelter. They are afraid that the dog may have been abused and will act out. Adopt-A-Dog makes sure that all its dogs are properly trained. The organization works with Tim Cook of Cook's Canines to ensure that every dog is suitable for adoption.
Tim Cook has been a great friend of Adopt-A-Dog over the years. He even contributes a portion of the proceeds from the courses he provides to dog owners to the organization. He is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and a Canine Good Citizen evaluator. Visit his website, www.cookscanine.com, to find out how he can help you right in your own home with any behavioral problem you may have with your dog.

Two of my lovely dogs are from Adopt-A-Dog. Allyson Halm, the organization's director, does great things with the dogs given to her who need a home. Many people have had to give up their dogs because they can no longer afford to care for them. These lovely animals are languishing at the shelter hoping to find a forever home.
Contact Adopt-A-Dog at 914-273-1674 or visit www.adopt-a-dog.org. My dogs have changed my life and adopting a dog can do the same for you.

In Reply to: Honey and vinegar posted by Ward on June 05, 2004
: In an email discussion with my favorite Aussie blond(e) an old expression from my youth came into the conversation -- "you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar". Is that an expression in use around the English speaking world and what could have been the original intent -- to catch flies?
I thought this one would be an easy one to find. But I had to look through several references.
"...The proverb has been traced back to G. Torriano's 'Common Place of Italian Proverbs' . It first appeared in the United States in Benjamin Franklin's 'Poor Richard's Almanac' in 1744, and is found in varying forms..." From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).
Maybe honey was used as "flypaper" to catch the pesky insects.

Joe Catalfamo lives just 200 feet from Middle Smithfield Township's Primrose Lane, but unlike his neighbors, he isn't allowed to use a driveway from Primrose to enter his property.
Joe Catalfamo lives just 200 feet from Middle Smithfield Township's Primrose Lane, but unlike his neighbors, he isn't allowed to use a driveway from Primrose to enter his property.
He must bypass the three-tenths of a mile drive down Primrose from Route 209, and instead take a nearly two-mile circuitous route home.
This includes going onto Oak Grove Drive, taking winding Columbia Boulevard, and negotiating the unpaved and bumpy single-lane Yale Court (Fox Lane) before arriving at his sprawling ranch-style home.
"What I have is illegal," Catalfamo says of the current township designated access. "I'm crossing wetlands."
Catalfamo has argued since buying and building a home on the property in 1988, that an access drive onto his land from Primrose Lane — an old logging road — was designated in a 1981 map plan for the lot.
He also maintains he actually owns the small strip of land near the road that was sold by a major developer in 2001 to his neighbor.
Monroe County Commissioners Chairman John Moyer, who researched the matter at Catalfamo's request, believes Catalfamo has a good case.
The township blocked driveway access in 1989 by building a 14-foot extension of guardrail from a bridge over Pond Creek, according to a records search Catalfamo commissioned.
"This barricade denies Joseph Catalfamo of his legal right of ingress and egress he enjoyed when he purchased the property Nov. 23, 1988," states an analysis of publicly filed deeds and engineering surveys performed by the late surveyor Jim Francis.
Catalfamo has shown mountains of paperwork to township officials past and present, commissioned surveys showing his property adjoins Primrose Drive, filed complaints with the state Attorney General's Office and gone to county court three times to try to win direct access to his home.
None of this, though, stopped Big Ridge Developers — then owner of record of Country Club of the Poconos, a home development directly across Primrose Lane — from claiming it owned a 2,700-square-foot parcel between the Catalfamo property and the west side of Primrose Lane.
Big Ridge sold that strip in October 2001 to Debra Henley and then township sewer authority director Perry Henley, Catalfamo's neighbors.
Catalfamo contends he owns that strip of land in front of his house, across the road from Country Club. The township-erected guardrail in front of the property, near Pond Creek, blocks any access from Primrose.
Now Catalfamo has an ally in Moyer, who asked the county Assessment Office to dig up related property records.
"Based on the data available to me, it appears that an error was made in transferring a portion of Mr. Catalfamo's property to an adjoining land owner thereby depriving him of property rights consistent with his original deed," Moyer wrote last fall to Middle Smithfield supervisors. "This conveyance, along with the construction of a guardrail, precludes Mr. Catalfamo's use of the driveway from Township Road 540 (Primrose Lane) to access his property."
Moyer pointed to a 1981 map plan for the property, filed with the county by then owners Ross Lesoine and Judy A. Miller, showing the driveway connection to Primrose Lane. He also referenced the 1988 deed by which Catalfamo bought the property.
"This deed indicates that the Catalfamo property runs to the right of way of Township Road (540)," the commissioner wrote.
Moyer urged the township to investigate and let him know the outcome.
The county commissioner's letter came last fall after Catalfamo pressed the current township supervisors board to address the property dispute, which hinges in part on whether Primrose Lane, a township road, directly abuts his property or is separated by the strip of land sold to the Henleys.
Township attorney Michael Gaul said he would review the matter, but advised the supervisors not to discuss or comment publicly on the dispute. He noted Catalfamo filed two lawsuits against previous supervisors' boards.
A 1997 ruling by then Monroe County Judge Ronald Vican sided with the township, with the judge saying the evidence produced then showed Catalfamo's property doesn't abut Primrose Lane and that the driveway access to Primrose is within a flood plain.
Vican pointed to a map plan filed in 1977 by surveyor John Ray Rogers that the judge said shows Catalfamo's property doesn't abut Primrose. William "Dee" Rake testified in 1997 that his family owned the disputed strip of property from the 1930s until they sold it to the original Country Club of the Poconos developer in 1988.
The Rakes never filed a joinder deed cobbling together the various land tracts — hundreds of acres — they assembled and sold for the private home development. The original Country Club developer — Mid-Monroe Development Corp. — didn't file a boundary survey with the county for the private community until 2000, when Country Club was sold to Big Ridge Developers.
Catalfamo points to a 1989 site evaluation performed for him by the engineering firm of R.K.R. Hess Associates.
"The drive does not encroach on any wetland areas and is not in a floodway," R.K.R. environmental specialist Paul Warren wrote to the township. "This is the only possible access to the lot; without the requested waiver Mr. Catalfamo will be denied access to and the use of his lot."
On the contrary, all of the Fox Lane road frontage that Catalfamo must use today is in a wetland unsuitable for access, he wrote.
Francis, the surveyor also retained by Catalfamo, pointed in 2002 to "mathematically flawed" boundary coordinates in a previous survey for a curve in the 40-foot-wide Primrose Lane right-of-way, and the deed for the 2,700-square-foot strip sold by Big Ridge Developers to the Henleys. Some of the boundary lines failed to "close," Francis wrote.
Perry Henley insists he legally acquired the disputed land strip from Big Ridge Developers but declined to be interviewed for this story.
Middle Smithfield's attorney Gaul told Moyer that Catalfamo has failed to clearly state what action he seeks from the township.
"I will continue to personally review the township file on this matter," Gaul wrote to Moyer in January. "However, that could take time, especially when balanced against other pressing township matters. The township file is large. The history of the matter is complicated."
Gaul pointed to the 1997 court decision in the township's favor, adding that Catalfamo and a friend working in his behalf "have not been helpful in trying to simplify the matter."
Catalfamo, 80, is on a nonstop quest to establish driveway access from Primrose Lane before he dies and the property passes on to his two children.
"From the day I bought the property until today I haven't had a moment's peace," Catalfamo said.

Jayhawks' Selden returning for sophomore season
LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas guard Wayne Selden announced Tuesday that he will return for his sophomore season.
The 6-foot-5 Selden averaged nearly 10 points for the Jayhawks, whose season ended with a 60-57 loss to Stanford on Sunday in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.
Selden was considered a first-round talent coming out of high school, but an up-and-down campaign might have caused his stock to drop. Most draft projections had him going late in the first round or at some point in the second round.
Fellow freshman Andrew Wiggins has already said he plans to enter the draft, while 7-foot center Joel Embiid is still weighing his options. Most expect the Cameroon native to be a top-five pick despite a back injury that caused him to miss the NCAA Tournament.

Combination antiretroviral therapy has transformed the lives of everyone who is living with HIV and has access to that therapy. In the three years since protease inhibitors became widely available -- and people with HIV began taking these potent new drugs in combination with nucleoside analogs and non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors -- we have seen the rate of opportunistic infections plummet by almost 75%. More importantly, we have seen the number of deaths due to AIDS drop dramatically -- by almost 30% two years ago, and by 50% last year (see chart).
Men who were bedridden three years ago are now jogging three times a week... and wondering how they can return to the workplace without jeopardizing their disability benefits. Women who were fighting fulminant fevers and intractable infections three years ago are now hopscotching the country to promote HIV prevention programs... and wondering whether they can have children. In this new world, living with HIV has new implications, new ramifications, and new dimensions. People with HIV are now daring to think what was once unthinkable: that they may live long enough to need a retirement package; that they may eventually pay off their mortgage; that they may actually grow old, bald, paunchy, and myopic.
Combination antiretroviral therapy, by dramatically slowing the rate at which HIV assails and destroys the body's immune system, has eased a wide range of purely clinical problems... and raised a wide range of new social issues. One of those issues -- little discussed at scientific symposia but much talked about among people living with HIV -- is whether it is now possible for women with HIV to have children.
In the United States alone, approximately 7,000 women with HIV conceive and deliver babies every year. Some of those women do not know that they are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus; others do not take that factor into serious consideration when they have sexual relations. As a result, some 7,000 to 8,000 infants are born to HIV-positive American women every year. Of that number, between 500 and 600 prove to be infected with HIV. With better prenatal care and appropriate antiretroviral therapy before and during childbirth, it should be possible to reduce that number to less than 1% of all infants born to HIV-positive women.
(For further information about transmission risks -- and the advisability of cesarean section for HIV-positive pregnant women -- see "98% Sure" in the Newsline section of this issue. For comprehensive coverage of the general topic of HIV disease in women and children, see the August 1997 issue of HIV Newsline, which was wholly devoted to this all-important subject.) These are not the pregnancies we wish to focus on in this special issue of AIDS Care, however. There is already a considerable literature dealing with unanticipated, unwanted, or ill-advised pregnancies among seropositive women. Instead, we want to devote this special issue to a topic that has thus far received much less attention: Whether an HIV-positive woman, after considering the facts and weighing the odds, should undertake to conceive a child.
To assist women -- and their partners -- in reaching a prudent decision with regard to conception and childbirth, we have commissioned a series of interrelated articles on this important topic. The first of these special articles, "Can I Have Children?," was written for us by Dr. Kimberly Y. Smith, a specialist in infectious disease at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago. Dr. Smith describes the risks of pregnancy -- for both mother and infant -- from a clinical perspective. Paramount among these risks, of course, is the chance that a seropositive woman will infect her baby with HIV, either in the womb or during delivery.
Rebecca Denison, the founder of Women Organized to Respond to Life-threatening Diseases, which publishes a monthly newsletter for women with HIV, has confronted those risks -- and triumphed over them. She describes that experience in "The Toughest Decision I Ever Made."
My colleague Dawn Averitt, who served with me as a guest editor of this special issue of AIDS Care, looks at the same subject from yet another point of view -- that of an HIV-positive woman who has been giving careful consideration for some time now to the ethical, moral, and practical aspects of conceiving a child. Every woman with HIV who is experiencing Dawn's dilemma -- and who shares her desire for children -- will want to read "What if..." in this special double issue of AIDS Care.
The questions every prospective parent needs to ask
All persons who are consciously considering the joys and responsibilities of having children have a number of important decisions to make. The first of these choices applies to all prospective parents, irrespective of HIV status: Do I -- do we -- really wish to have a child? The human infant is the most dependent of all animal species, and thus all parents, regardless of their circumstances, have an absolute obligation to ensure the well-being of their offspring.
The second question that anyone who is contemplating conceiving a child must ask is: Have I -- have we -- fully and forthrightly considered the grave responsibilities as well as the great joys of raising a child? These obligations go well beyond providing food and shelter, day in and day out, for decades. For first-time parents in particular, the degree to which a newborn changes one's daily life can be very hard to anticipate -- and hard to accommodate. As any seasoned parent knows, from the moment that newborn arrives its parents are obliged to exchange the freedom to do what they want to do for the necessity of doing what is best for the infant.
Therefore, all prospective parents need to give the most sober and serious consideration to what child-rearing implies -- the end of independence and self-regard; the beginning of interdependence and self-abnegation. Young children can never be left alone, and their health and safety must be constantly monitored. This is a full-time, round-the-clock obligation, and anyone who thinks it sounds onerous -- anyone who thinks that the demands of parenthood outweigh the satisfactions -- should postpone having children.
Sexually active couples need to decide whether they wish to conceive a child or not. If they decide that they want to avoid pregnancy, they must select an appropriate form of birth control. Here, of course, HIV infection affects the decision-making process, since birth-control pills do not prevent the acquisition of HIV or other STDs. HIV-positive women who choose birth-control pills to prevent pregnancy should discuss this decision with their primary-care providers, because these pills can reduce the effectiveness of some antiretroviral drugs, and dose adjustments are therefore mandated.
Intrauterine devices will also prevent pregnancy, but like birth-control pills, they do not prevent the transmission of HIV. Therefore, all sexually active couples should use a fresh latex condom every time they have vaginal or anal intercourse. When used correctly, this form of barrier protection is almost 100% effective in preventing HIV transmission (see "Where the Rubber Meets the Road," Vol. 1, No. 2 of AIDS Care. This article includes easy-to-follow diagrams that show readers the correct use of the new "female" condom as well as condoms worn by men).
Women living with HIV infection who want children should give serious consideration to adopting a baby. This option holds many attractions, not least among them that it provides the adopted child with a loving, nurturing, stable household. For one thing, adoption eliminates the risk, modest but real, that even with the best of luck and the best of medical care an HIV-positive woman will pass the virus to her baby. And for another thing, adoption offers women with HIV a range of choices -- including the choice to adopt a toddler or even a youngster of school age rather than a newborn. For seropositive women who want to raise a child but who are not sure they are up to the round-the-clock rigors of caring for a newborn, this option may have special appeal.
Women with HIV who ponder all of their options, carefully weigh all of the risks, and then decide that they want to attempt to conceive a child must also recognize that unprotected sexual intercourse is not without risks for their partners. If that partner is uninfected, there is a small but undeniable chance that he will acquire the virus during sex. And if that partner is HIV-positive, there is still the risk that unprotected sexual relations will pass drug-resistant forms of HIV between partners. Data presented at the 12th World AIDS Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, last summer indicate that a significant number of new HIV infections represent infection with a form of the virus that is already resistant to one or more of the drugs used to combat HIV, so this is a real, and serious, consideration.
If a woman with HIV wants to conceive a child with an uninfected partner, she can be artificially inseminated. If a woman wants to conceive a child with an HIV-positive man, she and her partner should investigate whether any or several experimental treatments that are designed to "wash" the HIV out of semen may reduce the risk of transmission (see "Positive New Fathers: Refinement in insemination process may allow HIV-positive men to safely father children" in the Newsline section of this issue).
Planning for the future
Potential parents who are living with HIV also need to think about their longevity. How long can they reasonably expect to live, given what we now know about the prognosis for individuals at various stages of HIV infection? Is their current antiretroviral regimen effectively suppressing the virus? Can they reasonably expect to live long enough, and remain hale enough, to raise a newborn child to independence? If not, have they considered how to cope with the need to designate other care providers for their offspring?
All couples who are contemplating having children need to discuss the subject of guardianship with their families and friends. This prudent provision is one every parent needs to make, and people who are living with a potentially life-threatening disease are especially obligated to make such provisions early and concretely. Whenever possible, this discussion should be coupled with estate planning and other end-of-life provisions -- to ensure that surviving offspring will be provided for. There can be no doubt that thoughtful advance planning makes any future crisis or transition easier for the child, even if facing mortality is hard for the child's parents.
Thoughtful advance planning on the part of seropositive parents must also involve provisions for the day-to-day care of their children should their own health status change. What if the parent becomes ill and requires hospitalization, especially for an extended stay? What if that hospitalization leaves the parent too enfeebled to look after himself or herself, let alone a small, dependent child, for days or even weeks after the parent has returned home? Because the prospect of hospitalization is a very real one for people living with HIV, all seropositive parents should make specific plans for the short- and long-term care of their children. Feeding schedules, well-baby clinic appointments, favorite foods and favorite baby-sitters -- all this information should be written down, so it is readily available to the children's interim care providers.
All seropositive parents need to face the future realistically and plan for every eventuality -- including their own death. Part of that planning, in the era of maximally suppressive antiretroviral therapy, is long-range planning. Many women who are living with HIV can now reasonably expect to live long enough to raise children -- and some of those women may live long enough to see their children graduate from school and enter adult life. Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of HIV infection have prolonged the lives of everyone who is living with the virus -- assuming those individuals get the medical care they need and comply with the dosing schedule they are assigned. In such an altered world, radiant with hope, the prospect of having and raising children is a real one, and women who want to undertake this awesome responsibility deserve our full support.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Even on a night when the play was hampered by choppy ice, the puck still seems to find Joe Pavelski and he keeps finding the net.
Pavelski scored twice to move into a tie for the second most goals in the NHL this season and help the San Jose Sharks beat the Calgary Flames 3-2 Monday night.
"It feels how you should play the game all the time, to be honest," Pavelski said. "It's the way you picture it. I've just visualized this a few times, so it shouldn't be anything new."
Pavelski scored on a deflection in the first period and on the power play in the second to give him five goals in his past two games and 18 in the past 20 to tie Anaheim's Corey Perry with 27 on the season. Washington's Alex Ovechkin leads the league with 35.
"It's fun to watch," teammate Tommy Wingels said. "They go in a whole different variety of ways as you saw tonight. When you're hot, you're hot. He'll certainly take it and as a team we'll take it as well."
Wingels also scored and Antti Niemi made 21 saves for the Sharks, who returned home from a perfect three-game road trip with a win over struggling Calgary to open a pre-Olympic stretch of eight games out of 10 at home.
Jiri Hudler and Kevin Westgarth scored for the Flames, who have lost four straight games and 11 of 13. Karri Ramo made 24 saves.
"We're disappointed in the loss, but you can't fault the effort," forward Matt Stajan said. "We had our chances. If we continue to work like that we'll give ourselves a chance no doubt about it."
Pavelski followed up his first career hat trick on Saturday in Tampa Bay with his third multi-goal game in his past six as he thrives on a line with Joe Thornton and Brent Burns. Pavelski is four goals shy of matching his career high of 31 set two seasons ago.
He broke a tie late in the second period after Stajan was sent off for interfering with Eriah Hayes on the only penalty of the game.
After a broken play at the blue line, Jason Demers kept the puck in the offensive zone and passed to Thornton, who was all alone on the opposite side of the ice. Thornton fired a cross-ice pass to Pavelski, who was alone near the front of the net and deflected the pass past Ramo to give the Sharks a 3-2 lead.
"The ice was just so bouncy tonight I just tried to get it in the general direction," Thornton said. "He just made a great play, just hand-eye co-ordination. He's just playing great right now. The puck seems to hit him right now and go in."
Both teams scored twice during the first period with help from shaky goaltending from Niemi and Ramo. The four goals came on 18 shots and included three in a span of 1:12 midway through the period.
The Flames started the scoring when Hudler beat Brad Stuart in the corner and then beat Niemi with a backhand from in front of the net for his 13th goal.
The Sharks responded with two goals in a 21-second span with Pavelski tipping Justin Braun's point shot for the first and Wingels beating Ramo with a bad angle shot from near the boards to snap a 15-game goalless stretch.
Less than a minute later, Niemi allowed a big rebound in the slot on a shot by Brian McGrattan and Westgarth got to the rebound ahead of Matt Irwin for his first goal in 23 games this season.
Westgarth was happy to contribute two days after he was part of the game-opening line brawl against Vancouver that led to coach Bob Hartley getting fined $25,000 earlier in the day.
"I don't know what is being said about me and I don't care," Westgarth said. "I know the guys in this room respect me and that's all that matters. I figured something would be happening. You don't want to have a line brawl like that very often."
This game had just one minor penalty compared to the 204 combined minutes of penalties between the Canucks and Flames on Saturday.
NOTES: With the assist on Pavelski's second goal, Thornton moved past Bobby Hull for 48th on the career scoring list with 1,171 points. ... Flames F Paul Byron left the game in the second period with a lower-body injury. ... Calgary F David Jones (eye) returned to the lineup after missing eight games and D Kris Russell (knee) was back after missing the past 13 games.
