Luxury mens shoes brand Alberto Guardiani presented their fall-winter 2011-2012 collection in a showroom on Corso Venezia 29, Milan. They are celebrating their 30th anniversary for men's formal shoe collections, and so their "Anniversary Collection" presented some of Alberto Guardiani's iconic pieces revisited in contemporary versions, with some superb detailing such as chains, intricately-interwoven wave-like motifs, hand-sewn leather cord profiles, and fumée Swarovksi crystal on the toes. Soles are higher and more aggressive, in line with the season's fashion motifs.
The classical anniversary collection was accompanied by a capsule collection focusing on sneakers, titled "the Sunday feeling," in which a model for sneakers is interpreted by a certain design feature. The "Adler" design was reinterpreted for use at brunch, in exclusive colours, red, bordeaux, anthracite, purple and blue, ideal for the most fashion-conscious of wearers. The Toki sneaker was developed to create ideal footwear for the stadium, with fur lining and vintage leather designed to keep out the cold. The side-mounted zip adds a tough look.
Lastly, the "Somerset" has been updated and reproportioned for a more dynamic look, thinking specifically of Sunday walks, perhaps with the dog. It is now available in woodland shades, with musk green and petrol suede inserts.
There is also an intermediate line, with rubber soles, and built-in gaiters complete with zip. One model is made using bleached leather, and a kiltie in contrasting colour.

(MLS) Seattle Sounders vs. Colombus Crew - 6:2
Unfortunately, I was stuck reading the live text commentary for this one. I do know that if both teams had fulfilled all of their goal-scoring opportunities, the Crew would have overtaken Seattle. But let's not forget that Seattle has one of the best goalkeepers in the league (Kasey Keller). And that the Crew scored an own goal. And that the Crew's only 2 goals came late in the game (on the 59th and 73rd minutes). Jeff Cunningham scored their first game on a PK, when the game was still 4-0. Despite mixed reactions from the fans on the tender subject of refereeing, both teams played an amazing, non-defensive game, with a total of over 30 goal attempts and passing accuracy beyond the caliber of most overrated MLS teams. Lamar Neagle had a hat-trick for the Sounders.
(EPL) Liverpool vs. Bolton - 3:1
Liverpool played an incredibly tactful, fast-paced home game against Bolton, scoring their last 2 goals within 30 seconds. The fiery Reds delighted their fans as ex-Sunderland player Henderson nailed his first goal at Anfield. Nevertheless, it would be foolish to say that Bolton's goal counts for nothing. The Wanderers added a point for their Goals For and Against difference, a number that plays a vital role in determining a team's standings later on in the season.
Tomorrow's EPL Predictions:
11AM ET - Manchester United vs. Arsenal
Prediction: 3:1 or 3:2
8:30AM ET - Tottenham Hotspurs vs. Manchester City
Prediction: 2:2

maintenance of a home, preferring to
spend their leisure time in other ways.
Independent seniors in good health may
find that they need nothing more than a
community where they can fully enjoy
pursuing their personal interests. For them,
moving to an active independent living
retirement community might be the best
fit for their budget and lifestyle, where
options include renting an apartment or the
outright purchase of a property in a senior
Many active senior communities have information packets that may be requested in
advance, and offer tours of the community
itself. A personal visit will give valuable,
first-hand information and an opportunity
to visit with current residents who can
offer their own experiences and provide
an insider's view on the community. Be
sure to determine that personal interests
and pursuits are offered, such as health
and fitness programs, organized activities,
sports, etc. Other day-to-day living arrangements should also be considered, such as
shopping centers and grocery stores within
easy walking distance, or are transportation
services provided? Where is the community
located in proximity to major health care
providers? And, what security measures are
in place for residents? For ultimate peace
of mind, some seniors rent a home under
a short-term agreement at first to make sure
the community provides for their needs and
lives up to their expectations.
A Continuing Care Retirement Commu-nity (CCRC) offers 360-degree care inresidential community for seniors, witha full menu of services and living situ-ations. Residents at a CCRC may movebetween independent living, assisted livingand nursing home care, depending ontheir individual, changing needs. Seniorselecting to live in a CCRC (also knownas "Life-Care Facilities" and "Life-CareCommunities") contract with the commu-nity in advance for a lifetime commitmentto provide care, regardless of their futurehealth and needs. They then live in theresidential community for the remainderof their lives, and are placed within aliving situation appropriate to their needsand abilities.
Seniors or family members of seniors who
are concerned about future security find
CCRCs a safe bet, addressing any worries
about future health problems down the road
and alleviating any concerns about hidden
costs along the way. A CCRC generally
offers seniors a contract or contracts that
provide a continuum of care that includes
access to housing, services, and health care
for more than one year, or the balance of
their lives. Usually, it is a wise idea for
seniors to move into a CCRC sooner rather
than later, as most CCRCs require that new
residents be capable of living independently
when they first move in.
There are a number of contract optionsoffered by CCRCs to seniors and theirfamilies. An extensive care contract is themost expensive, but affords the least risk,providing unlimited long-term nursing careat little or no additional cost for as long asnursing home services are needed by theclient. A modified care contract comeswith medium financial risk, and provideslong-term health or nursing services for aspecified period of time, after which, thesenior or their guardian is responsible for theadditional cost. A fee-for-service contractoffers an a la carte approach, requiring thatresidents pay separately for all health andmedical services provided by the facility, aswell as long-term care. While a fee-for-ser-vice contract is the least expensive contract,it does have the highest risk, as costs can runvery high for seniors who require unantici-pated extensive care later in life.
The most common element in a CCRC
contract is an entrance fee, where regardless of whether the contract is an extensive,
modified or fee-for-service contract, the
resident pays a lump sum entrance fee, plus
monthly fees thereafter. Another CCRC
contract option may require an equity
agreement where seniors purchase a condominium or co-op apartment on the property
instead of paying an entrance fee. Less
commonly found are CCRC contracts where
residents pay monthly fees only. Seniors and
their families are advised to be sure to read
the fine print on the contract carefully to
ensure that they are signing an agreement that
guarantees the lifetime of services and support
over an extended period of time that they
are looking for. There are so-called copycat
senior-care residences that claim to offer all the
benefits of a CCRC, but in reality the services
guaranteed by the actual contract fall far short
of the claims made by management.
Before signing a contract with a CCRC,
seniors should conduct a thorough review
of the facility's services, operations and
finances, and determine that the CCRC
is appropriate to their needs, lifestyle and
expectations. It's also a good idea to ask a

Days 6 and 7
Day 7 was the day mum forgot to take a photo B Boy, sorry. You went to see the ducks with Granny and Granda, spent the day at their house and then came home for pasta. You played with Dad and made him chase you to get your pyjamas on. When it was time to sleep you came up with some wide and varied reasons for not being sleepy. You are very inventive but ultimately you nod off without much fuss. Day 6 started like most other weekend days. You ate your breakfast and them sampled some of Dad's too. Another trip to the farm this morning then a good long sleep. Tonight we went to a party and you were very good even past bedtime.

Who do Nutters in need contact when they fear their pit bull will be confiscated? Who do they trust as an ally for this vital information? Presented are a collection of emails sent to DogsBite.org by Nutters in need. Do they find their state BSL page (example) through web searches and mistake DogsBite as an ally? Seems unlikely. These emails are typically ignored and show the multi-Nutter mentalities: apologist, narcissist, pitthetic, OPIG, etc.
The list topper is Nutter in need Pamela Six (aka "SCREW EM ALL") who recently appeared on TV with a "pittie me" plea to keep her pit bull. This is a severely modified attitude than her previous emails, which referred to city officials as a, "BUNCH OF IDIOTS" and "one old fart on the city council" and "don't know crap from a hill of beans" and "add this lousy town to your list." Kudos to the City of Elma for enforcing their pit bull ban!

I am questioning whether you know of any regulations regarding child custody and pit bulls. A good friend of mine had taken emergency custody of her two nieces in August of 2011. They have been working with DCF, and have completed all steps to move towards adoption. They were informed 3 weeks ago that they would not be allowed to keep the girls if they did not get rid of missy. Missy is a pit. She is 3. This dog would not hurt a fly. She is great with kids especially. They live in ██████, and the girls lived in ██████ when they were taken. My friend and her husband have been working with ██████ DCF offices. ██████ has no problem with Missy. She is well behaved. The ██████ worker is the one who said she would not allow them to keep the kids if they did not get rid of the dog. They say that this is the last regulation they need to comply with before they can adopt the girls. Do you have any advice?
Thought: Yes! A couple that "truly" cared about the girls and their safety would have dumped the pit immediately!

Subject: Illinois State Law against pit bulls
Date: July 3, 2012 at 8:45:19 AM CDT
To: ordinance-at-dogsbite.org
Dear Dogsbite.org,
My friend's family pet of 10 years, a pit bull, was murdered by Illinois State Police when they broke in his front door in the wee hours of the morning to serve a search warrant and to arrest his daughter on a drug charge. The cops found nothing in the search of the house and only accomplished the murder of a much loved family pet, (they shot him twice on the floor of the living room).
The cops claimed it is the law in Illinois that if they ever encounter a pit bull they have the right to shoot it on sight– no questions asked— regardless of whether the dog is a threat to them or not. If that is true then it appears that it is OPEN SEASON in Illinois on pit bulls.
This incident occurred about 3 weeks ago in Romeoville IL, in Will County, about 35 miles SW of Chicago. Also in the room at the time of the murder was an eight year old little boy who had to watch his pet get its head blown apart for barking at the cops who busted in the door instead of ringing the doorbell.
My question is this: Is there a law in Illinois that allows the cops, or in this case the State Police, the right to shoot on sight any pit bull they find in a personal residence? Please let me know so I can tell my friend if he should hire a lawyer and be ready to get rich.
Jim T.
Thought: We can think of many other reliable "get rich quick" schemes.

I'm considering moving to Larkspur, CO for work but have 3 pit mixes. I didn't see any anti-pit laws for Larkspur, but need to be sure, as I will protect my dogs with every fiber of my being. My two oldest are 13 & 14 yrs old, & my 3rd is a rescued bait dog. I know what crazed anti-pit fanatics Denver has, & need to be sure Larkspur is safe for my babies before moving for work.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Macon, Missouri which is north of Columbia on 63 north has a ban on pit bulls that allows the police to kill the dog, and then you can face probation and up to a $500 fine. They do this even if the dog is only part pit bull. It is ridiculous how they go about it! If a police officer suspects that your dog has any pit in it, they take it and terminate the canine. Please advise me how to get this changed!

Vocational Education
Welcome to the Vocational Department
Some students will be invited to take vocational courses. This decision is based on their target minimum grades and their suitability. Some of these courses will take place in school and some maybe offsite.
The aim of the course is to develop skills for employment including:
- Communication
- Problem solving
- Team working
- Independent learning
- Presentation
- Commitment
- Enthusiasm
Curriculum Content
Year 9
Students undertake a variety of challenges and activities to develop their confidence and employability skills including teamwork, communication, organisation, planning, problem
solving and decision making. In addition there is a study of the world of work including the stages involved in getting a job, finance, health and safety and employment law.
Year 10
Continued development of employability skills. With guidance students select their own programme, built up through undertaking a series of modules such as teamwork through sport, photography, working with animals and construction. The opportunity for vocational tasters and a work experience placement are built into the programme. Some students will elect to study a qualification in either Business and Enterprise or Health and Fitness. For these students build a Portfolio of Evidence for each unit which demonstrates their understanding. Each unit is marked by their teacher and graded Pass, Merit, Distinction or Distinction*. The results of each unit are combined to give a final grade.
Year 11
Students select a vocational area they are interested in and follow a one year programme which supports progression. This may take place at college. The Business and Enterprise and Health and Fitness courses continue.

Monday after Cantate
Scripture: Zechariah 12:1-14 (NKJV)
1 The burden of the word of the Lord against Israel. Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him: 2 "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. 3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. 4 In that day," says the Lord, "I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. 5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the Lord of hosts, their God.' 6 In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place—Jerusalem.
7 "The Lord will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah. 8 In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the Lord before them. 9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 "And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. 11 In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. 12 And the land shall mourn, every family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; 13 the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Shimei by itself, and their wives by themselves; 14 all the families that remain, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves."
The Lord declared through the prophet: "And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn." In this Easter season, our thoughts are, as always, on that Pierced One Who made atonement for the sins of the world through His death so that all who believe in Him have full forgiveness of all their sins. In the resurrection of this Pierced One we have the hope that we, too, shall be raised from the dead. By inspiration of the Holy Spirit, St. John points to the fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy in the piercing of the side of Jesus: 'But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe. For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, 'Not one of His bones shall be broken.' And again another Scripture says, 'They shall look on Him whom they pierced.'"
Mourning was replaced by rejoicing when Christ rose from the grave. Christ, the Only-Begotten of the Father, is now the firstborn from the dead (Col. 1:18). "This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood" (1 John 5:6). In Baptism we are baptized into Christ, and in the Holy Sacrament of the Altar, we eat and drink His holy Body and Blood. He was pierced on account of our transgression, and by His stripes we are healed, for we have our hope in Him.
Prayer: O God, Who makes the minds of the faithful to be of one will, grant unto Thy people that they may love what Thou commandest and desire what Thou dost promise that among the manifold changes of this world our hearts may there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Who livest and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

The 2014 Wushu Shaolin Kung Fu Black Belt Examination was an enourmous success. The event was taped live and features performances by guest leaders and Wushu Shaolin Kung Fu founder, Shifu Sal Redner. This examination includes forms, sparring, brick breaking, and the official Black belt conferment ceremony. It is the first of its kind and features three Black Belt recipients who served as pioneers of Wushu Shaolin Kung Fu. May this DVD serve as a source of inspiration for all future students. Without true pioneers our examination would lack true wisdom and meaning. There is no greater joy than sharing each other's victory and working together to inspire the world.

Education Performance: Was It All Determined 100 Years Ago Evidence From São Paulo, Brazil
Education Performance: Was It All Determined 100 Years Ago Evidence From São Paulo, Brazil - Download this document for free, or read online. Document in PDF available to download.
This paper deals with institutional persistence in long-term economic development. We investigate the historical record of education in one of the fastest growing and most unequal societies in the twentieth century – the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Based on historical data from an agricultural census and education statistics, we assess the role played by factors such as land concentration, immigration and type of economic activity in determining supply and demand of education during the early twentieth century, and to what degree these factors help explain current educational performance and income levels. We find a positive and enduring effect of the presence of foreign-born immigrants on the supply of public instruction, as well as a negative effect of land concentration. Immigrant farm-laborers established their own community schools, and pressured for public funding for those schools or for public schools. The effects of early adoption of public instruction can be detected more than one hundred years later in the form of better test scores and higher income per capita. These results are suggestive of an additional mechanism generating inequality across regions: the places that received immigration from countries with an established public education system benefited from an earlier adoption of the revolutionary idea of public education.

Kala Chana (Black Chickpea Curry)
Today's guest post is from my friend Amee of Rabbit Food Rocks. We've been blog buddies for a couple years now. Amee is down in Dallas, Texas. She's Indian and today's recipe is one of those great homestyle Indian dishes that you almost never see in a restaurant, so you have to learn to make it yourself if you want to try it. But Amee's range is global. Check out her Scandinavian Kringler if your eyes can afford the calories! Take it away, Amee…
When I was about 11 or 12 years old, I'd ask mom what's for dinner, and she would reply "rotli, daal, bhath, shaak" (which translates to the mundane Indian weeknight meal of "flatbread, lentil soup, rice, and side vegetable"). Sounds interesting or exotic to others, but this is actually quite dreadful to the Indian-American kid. I know my fellow Caucasian classmates were somewhere out there enjoying macaroni and cheese or spaghetti or mashed potatoes or green peas and carrots…something colorful and creamy and perhaps, even greasy…mmmmmm.
It doesn't matter how good of a cook mom is, the phrase "rotli daal bhath shaak" is usually followed by a groan. I'd drag my feet to fulfill my duty of setting the table…and mentally prepare my stomach for implosion. And I needed to sound as disappointed as possible, in hopes that she would magically respond "No problem!! What would YOU like to eat tonight??" Mom needed to realize that everytime she served me rotli dal bhath shaak, I died a little inside. And at this rate, mom, I'd be dead before I grew boobs.
Still, you don't have to be Indian to know that Restaurant Mom only offers two choices for dinner: Take It or Leave It. But on occasion, in lieu of the daal (lentil soup) and the shaak (vegetable), mom made a hearty kathol (general term for beans/pulses). I used to favor hearty beans over a mushy vegetable or soup. But my favorite kathol was and still is kala chana (black chickpea curry). It's hearty, warming, and aromatic, much like a vegetarian bean-based chili. You can also use regular dried chickpeas if the kala chana are too hard to find.
Now, at 32, as I've grown more comfortable with re-creating mom's dishes, this is one I continue to perfect and enjoy. …still waiting to grow boobs, though….
This is a spicy and hearty bean dish served with flatbread or naan. You can pair it with rice for a complete protein meal. This dish is often accompanied by a yogurt-based soup called kadhi, which is a perfect complement to this dish. Black chickpeas have a tough skin and are a very dense bean, so soaking overnight is a must.
Kala Chana (Black Chickpea Curry)
Serves 2-3
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free
- 1 cup dry black chickpeas
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 7 cups water
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 1/8 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
- 4 dried chilies (Indian dried red chilis – if not available, chile de arbol would probably work well)
- 3 cloves
- 1/2 cinnamon stick
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste*
- 1 medium onion, peeled and finely diced in the food processor (pulse well, just before it releases liquid)
- 2 roma tomatoes, pureed in the food processor
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (or more/less to taste) (cayenne is an ok substitute)
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 2-3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro (optional)
*ginger garlic paste is 1:1 puree of ginger and garlic, but you can substitute 1″ grated ginger plus 5 cloves garlic crushed and finely diced
(Without a pressure cooker, skip steps 1-3 and do this instead: soak the beans overnight and then rinse and replace the water and cook on medium heat in a medium pot for an hour and 15 mins. Make sure water level is at least 1″ above the beans at all times.)
- Soak the beans with the baking soda in 3 cups water overnight. Drain water.
- Fill the pressure cooker with the soaked beans, add 4 cups of fresh water. Add the salt to the water, and pressure cook for 3 whistles (12 minutes). Turn off the heat but do not open the pressure cooker.
- After 45 mins or later, open the pressure cooker and drain the beans.
- Heat canola oil in a wide saute pan or wok (pan should be at least 3″ deep) on med-high heat. Add asafoetida, mustard seeds, chilies, cloves,and cinnamon stick. Fry for about 1 to 2 mins until fragrant but not burned.
- Add onions to the pan and cook for 4-5 mins or until onions soften and become translucent. Add ginger-garlic paste (or substitute) and cook for 1-2 mins.
- Add tomatoes to the pan, stir well, and then add coriander, cumin, turmeric, chili powder.
- Cook for 5 minutes, mixing well. Add garam masala and beans. Cover and simmer on low for 20 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Turn off heat, garnish with cilantro, and serve over rice, or with flatbread, parathas, or naan.

New director leads business center
Monday, January 7, 2019
ROCKY MOUNT — Gena Messer-Knode is the new director of the Eastern North Carolina Center for Business & Entrepreneurship at the Gateway Technology Center on the campus of N.C. Wesleyan College.
Knode, who has taught different business courses at the college for several years, said she learned about the position being open through her students. David Walker was the director of the Center for Business & Entrepreneurship for the past several years.
Knode has been an entrepreneur for years, having owned and operated cleaning service businesses and working as a broker for a real estate company in North Carolina.
"I felt well-suited for this position do to the fact that I've been here teaching business, familar with the students and community and my background as an entrepreneur," Knode said.
Knode said the center has been a well-kept secret since it was established in 2012. The programs are free, open to the public and a person does not have to have a degree to participate in the programs. The center focuses on business development, entrepreneurship and community engagement.
"I hope people realize that the center is an inclusive entrepreneurial resource stop," Knode said. "If someone wants to come here, I do one-on-one counseling. I have mentors that can work with entrepreneurs and business owners and we also have events here that allow people to network that we plan to do more next year. In addition, we have computer labs that I can make available and a resource library."
Knode said starting next year, the center will have three different track programs. The entrepreneurial track will consist of six seminars that will be two to three hours long for people who want to start a business.
The seminars are nonsequential and people can go to whichever one fits their need. In addition, there will a speakers series on Wednesday nights that covers everything from personal and professional development where individual presenters will speak on specific topics. Also, the corporate track is where the center can go out and do customized training to fit a business' need.
Knode said one of the unique aspects of the center that sets it apart is putting college students in real business scenarios. Knode said any size business that may be struggling and needs a fresh pair of eyes can have the center send students to go in and look at particular challenges and come up with solutions.
"We do this for free and what the business gets is the students' recommendations, and it becomes part of the student's final project for their class," Knode said. "I hear it from business owners all the time that we need people who can think critically and work through a problem or scenario. It's a win-win because the students are gaining college credit and getting exposure, while the business is gaining input. We do it for all types of services. In January, we have about four different companies where we are placing students. I know some scenarios where students have been hired after the fact."
For people who are interested in entrepreneurship, the Center for Business & Entrepreneurship offers an entrepreneurship degree program and the center is looking into offering a track primarily to help veterans who may have aspirations to become entrepreneurs, Knode said.

We have just begun trial access to the Digital Loeb Classical Library; the trial will run through the end of November.
The mission of the Loeb Classical Library is to make Greek and Latin literature accessible to the broadest range of readers. The digital Loeb Classical Library presents an interconnected, fully searchable, perpetually growing, virtual library of all that is important in Greek and Latin literature. Epic and lyric poetry; tragedy and comedy; history, travel, philosophy, and oratory; the great medical writers and mathematicians; those Church Fathers who made particular use of pagan culture — in short, our entire Greek and Latin Classical heritage is represented here with up-to-date texts and accurate English translations. More than 520 volumes of Latin, Greek, and English texts are available. Please note that some of the site's most useful tools are features of "My Loebs," the personal accounts available to all authorized users. You may create your own accounts (via the "Sign up" link at the top of each page on the site) to utilize the digital Loeb Classical Library's full capabilities.
Please send Ruth Lewis or your primary subject librarian any feedback you have about this resource. Thanks.

Out to Lunch March 1, 2009Posted by Dwight Furrow in Current Events, Dwight Furrow's Posts.

This little gem from House Minority Leader John Boehner is another entry in the Up is Down file.
"We have a tougher job than our friends across the aisle. They've been offering Americans a free lunch for the last 80 years, rather successfully," he told reporters at a lunch hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. "Those of us that believe in a smaller, more accountable government, we have a tougher time making our principles relevant to the American people. But it's our challenge, and we've got to do it."
So let me see if I understand this. The Republican Party for the past 30 years has told us that we can incur enormous debt because deficits don't matter, spend trillions on military hardware, and fight enormously costly wars without including them in the budget.
We can do all of this while cutting taxes to the bone because, according to Republicans, when government cuts taxes it takes in more revenue, a patently absurd notion that has been refuted by even conservative economists.
Moreover, we can simply ignore the environmental devastation caused by our production and consumption patterns, pushing those costs onto future generations.
Whose promising a "free lunch"?

Photos: Tame Impala @ Massey Hall
On May 19th, Australian psych rock band Tame Impala (fronted by musical guru Kevin Parker) successfully blew the minds of every Toronto fan in attendance at the legendary Massey Hall.
As I impatiently waited to photograph their set backstage, there was chatter amongst the Massey Hall staff noting that it was "the loudest sound check" they had ever heard - and they were right.
The venue felt like it was going to collapse with every note being played and was paired with intense psychedelic visuals that catapulted me into a euphoric trance (just to note, I was not high and didn't need to be – it was that good).
The band mainly performed tracks off their first two studio records Innerspeaker (2010) and Lonerism (2012), but also threw in some newbies off their upcoming record Currents that I was hyped on in particular (Release Date: July 17th, 2015). Three of the four new tracks that have dropped made it into the set: "Eventually", "'Cause I'm a Man", and the mind bending "Let It Happen", which they opened up with.
One rad moment was when Kevin Parker activated the insanely large motion graphics projected on the screen behind the band by strumming his guitar. The graphics were synced up with his instrument and it was wild to see in person. As he'd hold a note, the resonance would vibrate tand the line image would change form and shape based on what sounds he was making. It's hard to explain what this looked like, but it was an incredible moment where Kevin was just fucking around by himself on stage having fun.
I'm a huge fan of Tame Impala and I was stoked to finally get a chance to see them after missing out on their previous shows in the city and I can tell you... they did not disappoint. This show at Massey Hall was one for the books.
BTW was sent out on assignment for Blare and that's where you can check out all of our concert photos from the set.

You can also check out some extras above that I shot with my Nikon F100 on Kodak Porta 800. I love how the film turned out on these shots from my seat.
Until next time.

FK Budućnost Podgorica defeated holders FK Čelik Nikšić, who played the last half-hour with ten men, 1-0 to win the Montenegrin Cup for the first time.
The breakthrough eventually came in the first of ten minutes of added time, when defender Mitar Peković scored with a powerful strike from Marko Vukčević's cross.
Budućnost had squandered a chance to take the lead in the 13th minute. Aleksandar Dubljević handled a Flavio Beck Junior shot in the penalty area, but Stefan Mugoša was thwarted from the spot by Zoran Banović.
Things began to unravel for Čelik, who almost 12 months ago to the day became the first lower-league team to win the cup, when Aleksandar Dubljević received his second yellow card.
Budućnost coach Radisav Dragićević said: "We wanted this more than our opponents, played with more passion and we deserved this victory."

Hi there! Some new cute stuff is out there on the grid for you. Yes, you!
Rayvn Hynes of MudHoney sent me her latest release, the Poppy Daybed. Super cute, great for living room or bedroom, or on a cozy porch even! I love the wrought iron frame, and the neutral color palette makes it really easy to work into most any decor.
The Poppy Daybed is also full of great animations and accessories - it actually helped me get thru a busy to-do list. Observe: first, I got in some cardio, you know, to get the blood flowing. Then I spent some time surfing the interwebs for mentions of, well...me. Then I moved on to my lying-around-and-thinking period - this takes up the bulk of my day.
Once I made it through all of those tasks, I was able to relax and catch up on some required reading!
Rayvn has also released a Garage Studio - a nice big open workspace!
Check it all out at MudHoney [SLurl]
Over at La'Licious Designs, Amaliscious Destiny has just released the Simply Shabby Bedroom. Great shabby wood finishes and a full set of pieces - this is a really cute set, perfect for any cottage. The rug and the artwork add a nice shot of color to the room - precious!

ET Rock
Incoming!:or, Why we should stop worrying and learn to love the meteorite by Ted Nield
New Scientist, 21 January 2011
From AD 218 to 222 the Roman empire worshipped a meteorite. This bizarre episode ended when the transsexual priest-emperor Elagabalus was hacked to bits and hurled into the Tiber. This is just one of the many stories Ted Nield skilfully weaves into his entertaining history of meteorites.
In July 2010, two spectators at a cricket match in Sussex in the south of England witnessed an extremely rare meteor strike. The rock, 12 centimetres long, broke in two when it hit the ground with a piece ricocheting into the chest of one man. Luckily he was unharmed. Nield reckons the "global risk of death by extraterrestrial impact to be a negligible 1 in 720,000". Meteorites pose little threat, but says Nield, "we humans have transplanted into meteorites the geological aliens, the heart of our own times, as we searched them for signs of times to come".

The OnExecuteSqlStatementConstructed Event occurs just before SQL is sent to the Data Source to retrieve data for report execution. This Event could be used to inspect, log or modify the SQL that is being used for report execution.
For custom code the args array is structured as follows:
args[] contains a string representing the execution SQL in position zero, and a SqlObject class wrapping the execution SQL string in position one.
For .Net Assemblies the method signature is as follows:
string EventHandlerName(SessionInfo sessionInfo, string executionSql, SqlObject sqlObject)
Expected Return
The OnExecuteSqlStatementConstructed Event expects either a SQL string return, to override the default execution SQL, or null, in which case the execution will continue as normal.
The following example shows how report execution SQL can be written to a log file.
// write the current time, companyId, userId and report name to a specified log file. File.WriteAllText("C:\ReportSqlLogFile", String.Format("{0}, {1}, {2}, {3}\n", DateTime.Now.ToString(), sessionInfo.CompanyId, sessionInfo.UserId, args[0])); // return null to proceed with execution return null;

1 Tbsp. olive oil2-3 sweet potatoes, cut into 1" cubes 2-4 leeks, washed and cut into ½" pieces 3-4 cloves garlic, diced 4-8 c. chicken stock, depending on how thick you like your soup 3-4 spicy Italian sausages pulled out of their casing and made into rough little "nuggets" - roughly ¼"- ½" pieces, optional salt & pepper, to taste white truffle oil , optional
In a medium stock pot, sauté garlic and leeks in olive oil until soft. Add sweet potatoes and pour in enough chicken stock to cover. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to med. and let the soup cook until sweet potatoes are soft. This will take roughly 20 mins and is a good time to cook the sausage. Brown the sausage "nuggets" in hot oil and let them cook all the way through, then set them aside for the end. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through, run the soup mixture through a rough "pulse" (not purée) in a blender or Cuisinart. This will result in a thicker, more rustic stew. At this point you may wish to add more stock if you want a more brothy soup. After getting the soup to your desired consistency, return to pot, add sausage nuggets and season to taste with salt and pepper. The longer this soup simmers on low heat, the more flavor it picks up from the sausage and the leeks. Serve the soup hot with 3-5 drops of white truffle oil drizzled on top.
Hope you like it!

One of the principle ambitions in life of a human being is usually to at last have got a location to call his possess. Having your very own property is usually a very clear sign you have previously performed loads of things with your lifestyle and that that you are stable adequate for being considered as a home-owner. However, intending to invest in your own personal home is tough since you would like to take into consideration no matter if you would choose to possess a standard home and great deal, or to obtain a condominium unit. Even though many people would ordinarily select a dwelling and great deal, there are actually many positive aspects in choosing to speculate within a condominium. Here are some on the perks of residing within a new condo launch.
Ensured safety. Lots of people come across condominiums additional appealing than a house on the large amount. This is due to they are really easier to keep. Condominium units can also be simpler to safeguard and therefore the security within your family members associates is assured after you live in one. Though you could pick not to have CCTV cameras within your unit, the halls of every flooring are equipped with quite a few cameras in order that the building's stability personnel can certainly monitor the people that are coming into and leaving the condominium building. A lot of the extra high-end structures have top-notched stability methods which is able to make even quite possibly the most meticulous and paranoid unit operator comfy. You can even instruct the safety staff in the creating to only enable a confined list of people that can enter and go to you.
Far more economical. Due to the fact a condominium device will not entail land possession, acquiring a person is comparatively more economical than possessing a dwelling with a whole lot. In case your condominium is throughout the town, you'll be able to eliminate being forced to very own a car considering that you'll be able to easily walk or just take the bus or subway to and from a unit to your place of work.
Higher Resale Value. When your condominium is at a excellent spot, you can be certain that it's going to get a substantial resale value in case you want to sell it later on. You could also get a superior home finance loan value for your personal device in the event you will need to get a mortgage.
Communal added benefits. An additional perk of having a condominium is that the shared or blended possession in the setting up will permit owners have use of the present amenities and features such as the gym and pool without cost. Nonetheless, it's essential to also be mindful after you are living within a condominium; you will have to buy HOA costs or Residence Owners' Association service fees. The fees collected as a result of HOA will likely be used for strengthening and upgrading the shared amenities and security of the building.

Another document has leaked from Big Red showing Verizon's latest MAP (minimum advertised price) plans for many of their current and upcoming devices. It looks like starting today, January 26th many of the popular DROID models such as the RAZR and Bionic will receive discounts in their price. Right on time for the new DROID RAZR MAXX that launched today to be at the top spot.
One interesting part from the leaked document shown below is the mention and pricing of the upcoming and still unreleased DROID 4. It has leaked plenty and we even got some hands-on time at CES with the new slider but now this latest map is showing a few dates and the price being slashed by $100. Showing the DROID 4 being discounted starting today from $299 down to $199 and being that price for the next 6 months. Now obviously the device isn't available yet but this could mean it was delayed and will still launch at $299. Or they'll release it at the lower price point — but we don't know for sure.
Then the popular RAZR in all colors including white are seeing a small slash in their pricing to $279 down from $299. Making the new DROID RAZR MAXX and its 3,300 mAh battery the king of the hill — in more ways than one. This has just been leaked so your best bet is to call up your local store and inquire about pricing on these devices. Check out our RAZR MAXX hands-on below too.

"Pirate! thou know'st me not, but I am one,
Grateful for deeds thou hast too rarely done;
Look on me—and remember her, thy hand
Snatched from the flames, and thy more fearful band.
I come through darkness—and I scarce know why—
Yet not to hurt—I would not see thee die."
"If so, kind lady! thine the only eye
That would not here in that gay hope delight:
Theirs is the chance—and let them use their right.
But still I thank their courtesy or thine,1050
That would confess me at so fair a shrine!"
Strange though it seem—yet with extremest grief
Is linked a mirth—it doth not bring relief—
That playfulness of Sorrow ne'er beguiles,
And smiles in bitterness—but still it smiles;
And sometimes with the wisest and the best,
Till even the scaffold[1] echoes with their jest!
Yet not the joy to which it seems akin—
It may deceive all hearts, save that within.
Whate'er it was that flashed on Conrad, now1060
A laughing wildness half unbent his brow:
And these his accents had a sound of mirth,
As if the last he could enjoy on earth;
Yet 'gainst his nature—for through that short life,
Few thoughts had he to spare from gloom and strife.
- ↑ In Sir Thomas More, for instance, on the scaffold, and Anne Boleyn, in the Tower, when, grasping her neck, she remarked, that it "was too slender to trouble the headsman much." During one part of the French Revolution, it became a fashion to leave some "mot" as a legacy; and the quantity of facetious last words spoken during that period would form a melancholy jest-book of a considerable size.
