Creators: From Chaucer to Walt Disney
by Paul Johnson
320pp, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, £20
In his book The Intellectuals Paul Johnson settled scores with the intelligentsia by undercutting their high philosophy with their low behaviour. The glee of the gossip afflicts his new book, but its aim is loftier. He has chosen a total of 17 creators: poets, painters, playwrights, novelists, composers, fashion designers and, as an afterthought, scientists. He investigates works of outstanding creativity and the lives of their creators with generous helpings of biography and mostly judicious judgment. It's an endearing book, even if its rhapsodies are punctured by icy shafts of the old polemicist, the former editor of the New Statesman who switched sides and became an irascible columnist for the Spectator and the Daily Mail.
Johnson runs the gamut of excitable, occasionally shrill admiration for his cultural heroes and heroines. He adores Chaucer, respects Dürer, idolises Shakespeare. Bach strikes him with awe, he is moved by Turner, relishes Jane Austen's quiet mastery, respects her mystery. Victor Hugo dumbfounds him, because he is prolific but appears to have no brain. Unexpectedly, Mark Twain brings out his admiration for the stand-up storyteller and purveyor of one-liners, as if a music-hall funny man was struggling to break out of the decorum of this product of Stonyhurst and Magdalen College, Oxford.
But more serious matters beckon. TS Eliot is worshipped for his spiritual seriousness and pitied for his sexual neurosis, though there is nothing about the anti-semitism running through his work, which Anthony Julius has demonstrated. Pity; it would have given Johnson a more testing case-study of the tension between achievement and awfulness in a great artist. He holds Balenciaga, the Basque-born couturier, in high regard; his story permits Johnson to list delectable fabrics and sewing techniques, just as he catalogues the new drawing and painting materials Dürer deployed, the intensifying radiance of Turner's palette and the coinages contributed by Chaucer and Shakespeare to the evolving English language.
While being commendably cosmopolitan, Johnson is ineffably and unashamedly proud of English culture. His Shakespeare chapter trembles at the playwright's portrait of a patriotic leader in the two parts of Henry IV (while not forgetting to welcome the corrosive anti-heroism of Falstaff). When he comes to Hamlet, he gives way to the book's two weaknesses: self-doting and purple prose.
"I acted Hamlet in my last year at school ... and at the time I came to know by heart not only the frighteningly long central part but virtually the entire play. I had to cut it for performance down to three hours or so, and found the cutting a painful, almost unendurable process. For the lines contain no fat, only meat and meat of such quality that to cast any portion aside seems a crime against art."
This is not much better than an entry in a schoolboy diary, but it's outshone by Johnson's attempt to sum up the mind and speech of Hamlet: "His head contains a philosophy of the world, and he periodically delves into this interior well of reflection to raise copious vessels of crystal words." The bejewelled prose of Walter Pater lives; or maybe Johnson has been consulting too many travel brochures.
That's the risk with a book based on superlatives, and delivered with the superficial polish of the clubman connoisseur. His eulogies are often too cloudy, his attacks too mean. Typical is the penultimate chapter, about Picasso and - to make a provocative pairing - Walt Disney (the only film-maker to get a look-in; no Jean Renoir, no Welles, no Godard). He rubbishes Picasso, granting him begrudgingly some initial innovation, for example in the blue period (of which John Berger, in his vastly more illuminating 1965 Success and Failure of Picasso, tartly notes "this period, because it deals pathetically with the poor, has always been the favourite among the rich").
But Johnson is determined to write Picasso off as a "fashion artist" trading on his brand name, a political opportunist, a cultural con-man, a misogynist who treated his numerous lovers appallingly, a male of bisexual attractiveness, an artist who abandoned nature and migrated to the interior of his mind, and all in all "a small but powerfully built monster of assured egotism".
Disney, by contrast, undoubtedly a pivotal figure in popular culture who painstakingly taught his draughts-persons how to anthropomorphise animals, is applauded as one who in the "highly charged ideological atmosphere of the 1930s ... refused to allow his organisation to promote collectivism or socialist values". With some help from J Edgar Hoover's FBI, the creator of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves crushed a strike of writers and cartoonists in 1940, and denounced them as communist-inspired troublemakers before the House Un-American Activities Committee.
So Picasso gets the hatchet-job, Disney the laurel wreath, from this Thatcher-consorting, Pinochet-admiring, God-toting dandy who, as he approaches his fourscore years, believes that morality is as contagious as evil, and is not averse to flinging the odd intellectual Molotov cocktail at his bêtes noires, the left and "that disastrous decade ... the lunacy of the 60s".

I'm originally from Tennessee and I jokingly called an RJ friend of mine today a Yankee. Thankfully he has a great sense of humor. Some of you may be wondering, what exactly is a Yankee? Well, to an American Southerner, a Northerner. To a Northerner, a person from New England. To a New Englander, a person from Vermont. To a person from Vermont, someone who still uses outdoor plumbing. To a non-American, an American. To a Baltimore Orioles fan, a pawn of Satan. I'll stop here. :-)

So it probably gonna be a filler ep with Oshawott or Snivy (game refference)facing Herderier with tie end result or TRr interuption
My Final B2-normal mode- team:
A close family member of mine died today, I put this in my sign as respect for him
Ash fan. Luffy fan. Gintoki fan-Gintama. Endou fan-Inazuma Eleven.
Multi Luffy {One Piece} and Ash {Pokemon} Shippers.
Like either of those 2 even need more battles.
I mean it will be more about the Pokeschool than Cheren. That' s why I called it filler. The battle will not be spotlight like otr gym battles.
I believe Cherwn will be rwccuring throughout the plasma eps.
My Final B2-normal mode- team:
Yay Herdier :3
I can't wait for this episode, Cheren used to be my favorite character ahead of Cilan, but now Cilan has bumped ahead, only because he is the detective connoisseur.
Okay, I might be completely wrong but I read the summery again and then I realized that it was saying that the gym was ready, but they weren't really prepared. So I'm not sure if there is a battle or not. I gathering that there is but I'm going to fold and say I'm not sure. My language barrier is broken :-/
Any pics of the episode yet?
Confirmed New Pokémon:
Magearna, Rowlet, Litten, Popplio, Solgaleo, Lunala, Yungoos, Pikipek, Grubbin, Rockruff, Komala, Tapu Koko, Charjabug, Vikavolt, Drampa, Bruxish, Cutiefly, Togedemaru, Salandit, Bewear, Mimikyu, Bounsweet, Wimpod, Mudsdale, Comfey, Oricorio, Minior, Gumshoos, Fomantis, Lurantis, Mudbray, Wishiwashi, Morelull, Pyukumuku, Turtonator, Crabrawler, Sandygast, Palossand, Stufful, Type: Null, Jamgmo-o, Lycanroc, Passimian, Oranguru, Dartrix, Torracat, Brionne, Silvally, Hakomo-o, Kommo-o, Steenee, Tsareena, Ribombee, Decidueye, Incineroar, Primarina, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, Cosmog, Trumbeak. Toucannon, Salazzle, Golisopod
So currently, I'd say a tie or victory for the snake and otter are more important.
Currently Training
I don't really have the time or patience to focus on nature's and IV'S, I just play with what I'm handed..
Considering how popular Oshawott is, i'm a bit surprised they haven't given it many wins.
An effing Herdier? Evolve that thing to make the battle more interesting! Maybe Burgundy gets the Stoutland rights still...

Only 4 of Ash Pokemon got wins in the league, and Snivy did beat Riolu down to the point of evolution. But with having so many Pokemon you'd think the writers would have spread them out a bit more. Skipping two rounds didn't really help his team's screen-time.

All right, cool! So Ash is battling Cheren, right? I wonder if Ash goes easy on Cheren, considering he is a new gym leader and all. If so, Ash should use Oshawott and Snivy. They could do with a good win and promote the battle as how you play them in games (like how starters are used in first gyms).
Not much more information we got, is Cheren design from BW or BW2? I'd say any is fine but his BW2 design seems more likely since his role is from BW2.

"If I had my way in DP, Ash would've hit the league with: Pikachu, Ambipom (his to keep), Torterra (Grass/Starter), Lucario (Ace), Chingling (Cute), Bidoof (Water-type) and Heatran (Fire-type)."
Spoiler:- GenVII Starter names speculation:
I want to get credit for if they turn out true. Dated 1:54am on 6-6-16:
- Rowlet: Arrowl - LOL I WAS WRONG!
- Litten: Burstiger - LOL I WAS WRONG!
- Popplio: Bubblaid - LOL I WAS WRONG!
The second line is meant to be sarcastic.. Though there was a random trainer with a Heatran at the Sinnoh League..

About Angel Canales
Instantly recognizable for his unique voice, Salsa singer Angel Canales has been a force since he emerged from Latin New York in the '70s. Shining as a symbol of his independent spirit, Canales' bald head and bushy moustache have always stood out against the background of wild-haired salseros -- as has his voice. His wide vocal range and unpredictability stand out in a band that rests on a rock-solid Latin rhythm section and a full brass contingent with jazz leanings. Playing a combination of standards and original material, all of his recordings boast top-notch, original arrangements. A jeweler by profession, Canales was able to stay independent of the Fania Salsa mafia and thus maintain his singular vision. A true original, Canales makes music with integrity and lyrical beauty that also satisfies the most hardcore dancers.

Michigan's dominant season now has official validation.
The Wolverines are ranked No. 3 in the College Football Playoff's debut rankings, announced tonight on ESPN.
It was not a surprise for the 8-0 Wolverines to be included in the initial top four teams, as U-M is ranked No. 2 in the Amway Coaches Poll and the Associated Press poll and is only one of four undefeated Power Five schools.
Alabama is No. 1, as it is in the Amway coaches and Associated Press polls, followed by Clemson. Texas A&M is fourth, followed by Washington and Ohio State.
There are five Big Ten schools in the top 12.
But, unlike the other polls, this ranking matters for Michigan's future as the final four teams in the CFP ranking on Dec. 4 will advance to the CFP semifinals.
ESPN analysts Joey Galloway and David Pollack said Monday they expected Clemson to be No. 2, based on its high-quality wins over Louisville (No. 5 in coaches poll), Auburn (No. 11) and Florida State (No. 19). Michigan's best wins are over Wisconsin (No. 8 in coaches poll) and Colorado (No. 21).
The difference between No. 2 and No. 3 is minimal at the end because it's a neutral site game, either in Atlanta or Phoenix. The only edge is that No. 1 and No. 2 are placed at the "most advantageous sites, weighing criteria such as convenience of travel for its fans, home-crowd advantage or disadvantage and general familiarity with the host city and its stadium. Preference will go to the No. 1 seed."
The CFP committee has been meeting since Monday in Grapevine, Texas. Former Central Michigan coach Herb Deromedi is a new member.
The CFP rankings will be released every Tuesday through the end of the regular season.
Yet the first rankings are hardly a predictor of the final results.
Only two of the top four teams in last year's initial rankings made the CFP: No. 1 Clemson and No. 4 Alabama; Only one of the four in the opening 2014 rankings made the final four: No. 2 Florida State.
Western Michigan is ranked 23rd, on spot ahead of Boise State and the highest-ranked Group of Five team, on pace to receive a spot in the Cotton Bowl. WMU is the only undefeated Group of Five team.
U-M coach Jim Harbaugh wasn't planning to watch.
"Not going to be able to work that into our preparations for Maryland," Harbaugh said on today's Big Ten coaches teleconference. "We'll be doing other things. Not to say that we don't check them -- it takes about 15 seconds to check and see where you are. We aspire to be as good as we can be. That's the simple part of it.
"Choosing to spend the time watching the TV production over watching Maryland tape and game planning, it's going to take a backseat. Watching the TV show will take a backseat."

Sunday, over 100 million viewers will turn their dials to Fox for the 45th broadcast of the Super Bowl, America's annual homage to the NFL — and new commercials. Auto advertisers are showing muscle on the annual broadcast, each kicking in at least $3 million per :30-second commercial (a record $100,000 per second!) — plus at least a million or two million bucks more for production, music and talent.
It will be gridlock on the gridiron, with Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes, VW and Suzuki — along with auto sector players CarMax, Cars.com and Bridgestone — popping for big bucks to convince, persuade, motivate millions to visit their dealers' showrooms. And don't forget other makers, like Ford, who will establish a presence on the pre- and post-game shows or by targeting regional outlets, rather than network buys. The real winner is Fox, with ad sales estimated to reach $280 to $300 million for XLV.
History has shown, and research has proven, most American's love Super Bowl commercials, it's a significant part of the event's entertainment and for some who really don't like football, commercials become the event itself. But a commercial has to meet the rigorous Super Bowl standards of excellence and quality in every element and detail of the commercial; to start with, it must be entertaining.
(For another take on Super Bowl's sundary auto ads, Click Here.)
Running just a regular product or service commercial is, many ad experts and media mavens believe, a total waste of money no matter the ad category. These non-entertaining commercials, other than the game itself are often the perfect time to take a bathroom break or grab a cool one. There are just too many car commercials which I believe will confuse more than convince as the game goes on.

IBF super flyweight champion Juan Carlos Sanchez (13-1-1, 7KOs) will make the first defense of his title on April 7th in Mexico, against countryman Alberto "Topo" Rosas (36-6, 27KOs). Sanchez captured the title on February 11 with a shocking upset decision win over Rodrigo "Gato" Guerrero. Rosas is apparently the IBF's mandatory challenger and the sanctioning organization has ordered the fight to take place next.

AbstractBa ferrite materials with porous microstructures were prepared from a natural cedar wood template in order to investigate new electromagnetic shielding materials. The wood templates were infiltrated with barium nitrate and iron nitrate solutions (molar ratio = 1:12) and dried to form ferrite gel, then, they were sintered in air at a temperature between 800 °C and 1400 °C. The 1-dimensional porous structures were retained after sintering and the pore size was approximately 10–20 μm. These ferrites show large coercive force and anisotropy field. The largest coercive force was obtained for the specimen sintered at 800 °C. View Full-Text

I was both dismayed and encouraged to read Sen. Kim Elton's comments on my railroad extension legislation published in the Feb. 1 issue of his on-line constituent newsletter "Off the Record."
The specific purpose of the legislation in question, HB 241, is to authorize the Alaska Railroad to go to Whitehorse, Yukon. No money is appropriated, but this bill opens the way for the Alaska Railroad to use funds it might obtain in the future - federal money, for example, or perhaps bonds - to survey and obtain a rail and utility corridor, and to obtain any necessary state land fee simple title. It would be up to the railroad to obtain rights of way across private or federal land.
The overall purpose of this bill is to take a first step toward completing a rail connection between Alaska and the rest of North America. The benefits would be enormous - there's a reason why Alaska's economic heartland is called "The Railbelt."
A lot is happening: The Canadian government is considering funding a bilateral commission to complete a feasibility study of the rail connection; $6 million was appropriated for this commission in legislation passed by Sen. Frank Murkowski, who is a very strong supporter of the project. There is strong support in the Interior, the University of Alaska, the Yukon as well as in western Canada. A few weeks ago I spoke about the rail connection on a news-talk radio station in North Dakota.
I am encouraged by Sen. Elton's comments because discussion is always good. I was dismayed, however, because it seems many reasons for opposing this legislation miss the overall point. Under the header "Is the gas pipeline being railroaded?" Sen. Elton pulls this quote from the musical South Pacific: "You gotta have a dream. If you don't have a dream, then how you gonna make a dream come true?" It's an excellent sentiment.
One concern raised is the potential for the rail corridor to somehow interfere with construction of a natural gas pipeline and other economic development. This concern, I believe, is invalid.
For the last two years I have met with gas pipeline folks, and there is a very strong interest in the rail connection. Having a railroad in place to move pipe and equipment would very likely improve the economics of pipeline construction. And there are economies of scale in constructing a railroad and gas pipeline at the same time.
Just imagine the Alaska Highway bearing the traffic load of pipeline construction and then imagine the potential impact on tourism during the time construction is ongoing. No one from the gas or pipeline industry has expressed any objection to this legislation.
Another objection is to putting a rail corridor in statute. But a rail corridor from Eielson to the Canadian border already exists in statute; in fact, legislation I passed in 1999 made certain it wasn't abandoned. But there's a bigger picture: When economic development occurs, stakeholders can - and most often do - work together for a common good. It could very well be that some negotiations involving the Alaska Railroad will have to take place at some future date. That doesn't concern me - but allowing another interest to block a railroad connection forever certainly does.
Alaska faces a nearly $1 billion budget deficit. In the long run, only economic development will allow us to afford the services we require. We must get away from the boom-and-bust economy that occurs when there is dependency on a single industry for revenue. A railroad connection will allow us to do new things in agriculture, trade, tourism, resource development and value-added industry. At the same time, railroads are environmentally friendly because they leave a small footprint on the land while allowing for controlled access.
I believe Southeast will benefit as well, as new opportunities open up in Skagway, for example. While the White Pass Railroad has made no commitments, there is logic in the argument that it would extend its tracks to meet any rail connection, and thus increase trade through the Lynn Canal.
HB 241 has gone through a long process of review. It's passed the House and the Senate Transportation Committee. I am confident it will reach the governor's desk this session, and become law.

This is it. Six weeks spent in Ghana have come and gone. I return home on Sunday, tired, filthy (haven't had the best time with laundry and cleaning habits), excited, and even a bit sad. I've fallen in love with this country in my short time here. It's a vastly underrated African territory and has so […]Read More

Way back when I first applied for the Media in Ghana program, I had some preliminary thoughts about what Ghana would be like. One of the first thoughts I had was what public transportation would be like in Accra. The public transportation is expert level here compared to many parts of my home state, California. […]Read More
How an area handles weather conditions is always an interesting topic. While the bare subject of just weather is possibly one of the weakest points of small talk in human history, the way it affects a city's infrastructure is worth talking about. Accra is a developing area, but one aspect that seems grossly underdeveloped in […]Read More
Time spent away from home has a way of stretching itself. It's a consistent theme here in Ghana no matter what it applies to. The mere three and a half weeks I've spent here have felt more like months. This most likely has to do with the my ability to quickly adapt to the country's […]Read More
At some point in the upbringing of most American citizens comes a time when they're introduced to a bevy of cultural norms in the U.S. The shopping mall, Wal-Mart, Costco, conventions, and music festivals are just some of the experiences to be had in understanding consumer behavior in this country. I mentioned all of the […]Read More
This past Sunday Joy FM was broadcasting a special Sunday edition: an hour-long show at 6 p.m. recapping stories accumulated from the past week. Part of the show contained an interview featuring yours truly in which I was asked about my experience at the Ghana Football Association press conference last Wednesday. I had full intentions […]Read More
The human heart is not built to endure all situations in life. No human can ever say they've encountered every new challenge without some level of doubt, nausea or fear. Those who say they have are lying. In 24 hours I experienced several degrees of fear starting from Sunday morning through Monday morning. On Sunday […]Read More
At some point during our travels we as a group started to realize how diverse the people of Ghana are. The hospitality in particular has been overwhelming to points where I've felt unworthy of the affection I've received from complete strangers. The children have been some of the most endearing individuals on this trip. It doesn't […]Read More
The attitude I bore coming into Ghana went something along the lines of, "Prepare for the worst. Hope for the best." I wanted to anticipate anything that could go awry during the trip. I followed the advice I had received before arrival as closely as I could to avoid a meltdown or intense culture shock. For […]Read More
Ghanaians are infatuated with football. It's the most popular sporting event in the country, very much like the majority of nations across the world. With a highly anticipated and crucial match pending with Germany on Saturday, our group went to an open air diner/bar to not only watch the game, but to experience football fever in […]Read More
One practice that remains relevant in Ghana is the art of bartering for the goods you want. While some outlets have fixed prices, there are an abundance of markets throughout the country that welcome debates on what the prices should be for certain items and services. For example, you can contest the fare for a taxi […]Read More
As the scorching humidity collided with my exhausted presence, it was evident that I was in an unfamiliar climate the second I stepped off the plane. I didn't collect as much sleep as I had hoped for during the two flights I took to Ghana so the fatigue and heat was a tad overwhelming initially. […]Read More

Jacksonville, Fla. Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Richard Collier, shot while sitting in a car outside an apartment complex earlier this month, is paralyzed below the waist, and his left leg was amputated, his doctor said Monday.
Collier was on a ventilator for about three weeks and has no memory of the shooting, said Dr. Andy Kerwin, a surgeon for the University of Florida at Shands Jacksonville hospital.
"His overall condition has improved greatly," Kerwin said. "We expect him to be discharged soon."
Kerwin said Collier suffered 14 bullet wounds to the back, left groin, left legs and right buttock. In addition, a bullet severed his spinal cord, causing the paralysis. The amputation was the result of damage to his left leg and groin, where blood clots formed. Five bullets alone were removed from his urinary bladder, and the 26-year-old player also had bouts of pneumonia, infections and renal failure.
Still, his condition has been upgraded to good from critical.
Collier will undergo physical therapy to learn how to move from his bed to a wheelchair. He will never walk again, the doctor said.

cruise roommate wanted
I am looking for a cruise mate to share room with. Looking for a 7-day cruise, I can depart on the 26th, 27th, or 28th of January. Preferably departing from the east cost. I am 32 year old, single woman, non-smoker with good humor who knows how to have fun. I have been on 2 cruises already. I currently live in Europe, so need to book my flight asap to the port of departure. Anyone out there to join me? :)
I am interested in cruising in late March early April if you are. I am a 37yo married female who loves to cruise but doesn't have a lot friends with time or money. I'm a non smoker and hoping you might be as well. I love to do the adventurous active type of shore excursions, sun bathe, hit the gym, go to the spa. Basically take as much in as possible. I'm looking for someone to share the cabin and hang out with and am not looking for someone on the prowl for a romp or romance. At night I like to go to dinner, watch the shows and then dance for a bit. I want to see as many places as I can. I am a true saggitarius when it comes to adventure and fun. If your interested I would like to chat with you and get to know you more, maybe even see a picture of you and your adventures.
Departing from San Diego for Mexican Riviera anytime between Feb. 9-19, 2008. I'm an active retired senior lady living in NC, independent, nonsmoker, enjoy letting each of us do our own thing, considerate of one another. Seek cabinmate. Preferred cruise Feb. 15-25 on Holland America Ryndam but willing to consider other options from San Diego.
|All times are GMT -4. The time now is 10:01 AM.

Baptist Housing has a rich history of serving seniors in British Columbia.
Our first senior living community was built in the Killarney area of Vancouver in 1964, when people from the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches saw a growing need to provide affordable housing for seniors and families. Federal and provincial funding opportunities allowed them to embark on the journey of founding a non-profit organization to compassionately meet these needs. In 1964, we had 64 room and board units and 102 apartments serving 172 Residents with 8 Team Members.
We have 17 senior living communities throughout British Columbia. With hundreds of suites ranging over three levels of care, we serve over 2100 Residents with 1100 Team Members.
While housing needs have certainly changed in the last 50 years, our commitment to caring for the physical, social, emotional and spiritual well-being of our Residents remains unchanged.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (AP) -- A pair of investment firms that hold a combined 5.6 percent stake in Lear Corp. said Tuesday that they want the auto supplier's management to boost value for shareholders by buying back more of the company's stock and reviewing its spending plans.
In a letter to Lear's board, Marcato Capital Management and Oskie Capital Management said they believe that the company is undervalued and blamed the "questionable" spending strategy of the company's board.
The firms pointed to the Lear's practice of "stockpiling" cash and said investors are concerned that Lear may make expensive acquisitions or invest in low-return projects, instead of using the cash for stock buybacks, which they say would improve the company's long-term value.
Southfield, Mich.-based Lear issued a statement later on Tuesday defending its spending strategy, saying it balances investments in the company with returning cash to shareholders.
In their letter, Marcato and Oskie called for the immediate start of a $2 billion stock buyback program, which they said would take advantage of the company's low stock price and establish a more appropriate capital structure.
They also demanded a review of Lear's capital spending budget and acquisition strategy, to make sure its cash is being directed to the areas that offer the best possible long-term returns.
Lear said it's speeding up the execution of its $1 billion stock buyback program, which is expected to result in the repurchase of about 20 percent of the company's outstanding stock, with $600 million in stock expected to be bought back this year.
The company also pointed to the recent 21 percent increase to its quarterly cash dividend.
Lear shares rose $1.06, or 2 percent, to $54.49 in afternoon trading. The shares have been rising steadily in recent months, gaining about 53 percent since the end of July.

East Central HS' Project Has Raised Cyberbullying Awareness
By Mike Perleberg
(St. Leon, Ind.) – Three years ago, a few East Central High School students saw an emerging problem in their school: cyberbullying.
"We knew it was becoming a big issue. Cyberbullying was happening in our schools and schools around us. People were taking it to a whole new level. We decided we wanted to start making an impact as soon as possible," said Laura Kuebel.
Then Kuebel, Lauren Deddens and Sarah Lehman did something about it. Under the umbrella of the school's FCCLA – Family, Career and Community Leaders of America – club, the students began the Cyberbully Busters. The project has won national recognition from the FCCLA.
Their effort informs classmates about how to recognize cyberbullying and how they can put a stop to it, whether the individual is the object of bullying or witness somebody else being victimized.
Deddens said the group has spoken with students at East Central, other schools, and parents about the problem which can start as soon as age 7. Many parents of children that age or older may be unaware of the problem or how to address it, because they grew up in a pre-Facebook, pre-Twitter era.
"It can start as just a joke. Whoever is bullying thinks it's just funny, but the person being bullied doesn't think so," Deddens said. "We really enforce to (kids) to not bully back, but to take action and tell an adult to help stop it."
The group presented Cyberbully Busters at an FCCLA national conference in Charlotte, N.C. last fall. Lehman said the experience made all the years of work worthwhile.
"We got a lot of feedback about it. After each session people came up to us and started telling us their personal stories how they were affected or knew someone who was affected. People said 'Thank you for telling us and thank you for informing us on what to do,'" Kuebel said.
Not only has Cyberbully Busters paid off for would-be victims. The trio has seen benefits as well.
"I've learned a lot more about cyberbullying that I never knew," Lehman added. "I've also gotten the feeling of helping out my community, which is awesome."
The three senior students are hopeful that underclassmen at East Central will continue the anti-bullying project. East Central High School's FCCLA chapter has over 200 members and welcomes all students to join. The chapter's website is www.eastcentralfccla.org and they are on Facebook.
"There's definitely a lot more people who are aware (of cyberbullying) now. That's what we were aiming for," Deddens said.

I am looking for a set of STARTER wheel weights for a John Deere 430 (They have to have the hole in the rear for the axle nut to fit into) I will consider other JD Starter Weights but will have to be a good deal since I will have to have them bored out in order to make them fit properly.
Will also consider add on weights as well.
Preferably in the Southeast........the closer to Birmingham Alabama the better because these things are EXPENSIVE to ship!
Send me a message on the forum and I will get back to you.

Thanks for participating in the food drive
Sound off on the important issues at
I would like to thank the Juneau and Douglas communities, the U.S. Postal Service employees, Girl Scouts and the many volunteers who participated in this year's highly successful Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on May 12.
Thanks to the local television stations, radio stations and newspapers for their help with advertising the event. Hats off to the city and rural letter carriers who stopped at every business and residence, collected not only mail but bags and sometimes heavy boxes of food.
The National Association of Letter Carriers, Campbell Soup Company and America's Second Harvest have been working together for 15 years to sponsor this nation's largest one-day food drive. The Juneau community has once again demonstrated their great generosity by donating 5,636 pounds of food to the Southeast Alaska Food Bank. Our apologies for the delayed thank-you; it took some time to count all the donations! The donated food will go a long way to feed the hungry over the summer months in our own community.
Thanks again to everyone for his or her efforts. Have a great summer.

Food drive coordinator, Alaska's Stamp Out Hunger

Wife And Mother - President Roosevelt's Address
( Originally Published Early 1900's )
To the Delegates to the First International Congress in America on the Welfare of the Child, at the White House, March 10, 1908.
IT is a great pleasure to greet you here this afternoon. I receive many societies here in the White House, many organizations of good men and women, striving to do all that in them lies for the betterment of our social and civic condition. I am glad to see them. I believe in their work; I want to help them. But there is no other society which I am quite as glad to receive as this. This is the one body that I put even ahead of the veterans of the Civil War; because when all is said it is the mother, and the mother only, who is a better citizen even than the soldier who fights for his country. The successful mother, the mother who does her part in rearing and training aright the boys and girls who are to be the men and women of the next generation, is of greater use to the community and occupies, if she only would realize it, a more honorable, as well as a more important, position than any successful man in it. ...
Nothing in this life that is really worth having comes save at the cost of effort. I am glad when I meet men who have fought for their country, have served faithfully and well year after year for their country at the risk of their own lives; I respect them because they have had something hard to do and have done it well. When we look back to the Civil War, the men whom we hold in honor are not the men who stayed at home, but the men who, whether they wore the blue or wore the gray, proved their truth by their endeavor; who dared risk all for "the great prize of death in battle," as one of our noblest poets has phrased it; who spent year after year at what brought them no money reward, at what might result in the utter impairment of the chance of their earning their livelihood, because it was their duty to render that service. In just the same way no life of self-indulgence, of mere vapid pleasure, can possibly, even in the one point of pleasure itself, yield so ample a reward as comes to the mother at the cost of self-denial, of effort, of suffering in childbirth, of the long, slow, patience-trying work of bringing up the children aright. No scheme of education, no social attitude, can be right unless it is based fundamentally upon the recognition of the necessity of seeing that the girl is trained to understand the supreme dignity, the supreme usefulness, of motherhood. Unless the average woman is a good wife and good mother, unless she bears a sufficient number of children, so that the race shall increase, and not decrease, unless she brings up these children sound in soul and mind and body-unless this is true of the average woman, no brilliancy of genius, no material prosperity, no triumphs of science and industry, will avail to save the race from ruin and death. The mother is the one supreme asset of national life; she is more important by far than the successful statesman or business man or artist or scientist.
There are exceptional women, there are exceptional men, who have other tasks to perform in addition to, not in substitution for, the task of motherhood and fatherhood, the task of providing the home and of keeping it. But it is the tasks connected with the home that are the fundamental tasks of humanity. After all, we can get along for the time being with an inferior quality of success in other lines, political, or business, or of any kind; because if there are failings in such matters we can make them good in the next generation; but if the mother does not do her duty, there will either be no next generation, or a next generation that is worse than none at all. In other words, we cannot as a nation get along at all if we haven't the right kind of home life. Such a life is not only the supreme duty, but also the supreme reward of duty. Every rightly constituted woman or man, if she or he is worth her or his salt, must feel that there is no such ample reward to be found any-where in life as the reward of children, the reward of a happy family life.
I abhor and condemn the man who is brutal, thoughtless, careless, selfish, with women, and especially with the women of his own household. The birth-pangs make all men the debtors of all women. The man is a poor creature who does not realize the infinite difficulty of the woman's task, who does not realize what is done by her who bears and rears the children; who cannot even be sure until the children are well grown that any night will come when she can have it entirely to her-self to sleep in. I abhor and condemn the man who fails to recognize all his obligations to the woman who does her duty. But the woman who shirks her duty as wife and mother is just as heartily to be condemned. We despise her as we despise and condemn the soldier who flinches in battle. A good woman, who does full duty, is sacred in our eyes; exactly as the brave and patriotic soldier is to be honored above all other men. But the woman who, whether from cowardice, from selfishness, from having a false and vacuous ideal, shirks her duty as wife and mother, earns the right to our contempt, just as does the man who, from any motive, fears to do his duty in battle when the country calls him. Because we so admire the good woman, the unselfish woman, the far-sighted woman, we have scant patience with her unworthy sister who fears to do her duty; exactly as, for the very reason that we respect a man who does his duty honestly and fairly in politics, who works hard at his business, who in time of national need does his duty as a soldier, we scorn his brother who idles when he should work, who is a bad husband, a bad father, who does his duty ill in the family or toward the state, who fears to do the work of a soldier if the time comes when a soldier's work is needed. All honor to the man or woman who does duty, who renders service; and we can only honor him or her if the weight of our condemnation is felt by those who flinch from their duty.
You see, my guests, you have let yourselves in for a sermon. I have now almost come to the end. Before I do, however, I want to ask your assistance for two or three matters that are not immediately connected with the life in the family itself, but that are of vital consequence to the children. In the first place, in the schools, see that the school work is made as practical as possible. For the boys I want to see training provided that shall train them toward, and not away from, their life-work; that will train them toward the farm or the shop, not away from it. With the girl, see that it is not made a matter of mirth that the girl who goes to college comes out unprepared to do any of the ordinary duties of womanhood. See, in other words, that with the higher education which she should have-for she should have a right to just as much education, to just as high an education, as any man-see that with that goes the education that will fit her to do her fundamental work in the world. As regards our public schools especially I want to put in a special word in behalf of the right kind of playgrounds. No school is a good school if it has not a good playground.
Help the children to play; and remember that you can often help them most by leaving them entirely alone. I misread them if they themselves do not often know how to play better than we old folks can teach them. Remember that in the city especially it is an outrage to erect a school without erecting a playground to go with that school. It is the gravest kind of wrong, not only to the children but to the whole community, to turn out the boys and girls, especially in the congested part of the city, with no place to play in but the streets. There can be no more important reform than to provide adequate play-ground; and a beginning should be made here in the District of Columbia.
You cannot have good citizens, good men and women of the next generation, if the boys and girls are worked in factories to the stunting of their moral, mental, and physical growth. Wherever the National Government can reach it should do away with the evils of child labor, and I trust this will be done; but much must be done by the actions of the several State legislatures; and do, each of you, in your several States, all that you can to secure the enactment, and then the enforcement, of laws that shall put a stop to the employment of children of tender age in doing what only grown people should do.
The field of your activities is so very wide that it would be useless for me to attempt to enumerate the various subjects of which you will and ought to treat. You have come together to discuss the problems that more vitally than any other affect the real welfare, the well-being in the present and the well-being in the future, of this Nation and of all nations. I wish you wisdom and good judgment. You must bring more than one quality to your task. No mother can do her duty in her own home without genuine tenderness of heart, genuine sentiment; but if she has only sentiment and only tenderness of heart she may through folly do more harm than another could through weakness. You must have the tenderness, you must have the sentiment; but woe to you and woe to the children who come after you if that is all that you have. With the sentiment, with the tenderness of heart, encourage the common sense that will enable you to correct the tenderness when it becomes weakness and injustice. In addition, cultivate what in the long run counts for more than intellect, for more than sentiment-and that is character, the sum of those qualities which really make up a strong, brave, tender man or woman. You cannot get along, you nor any one else, if you develop your intellect to the point that you lose all other things, all other qualities. It does not make any difference how intelligent a woman is, if she looks upon her children only with intelligence, they are not going to care overmuch for her in re-turn. Do not forget that love must come first; that love is what the family is based on; but don't do children, don't do grown people the dreadful injustice-through a love that is merely one form of weakness-of failing to make the child or, I might add, the man, behave itself or himself. A marriage should be a partnership where each of the two parties has his or her rights, where each should be more careful to do his or her duty than to exact duty from the other partner; but where each must, in justice to the other partner no less than to him-self or herself, exact the performance of duty by that other partner.
So with the children. A hard and unloving mother does infinite harm to her children; but she does no more harm than the loving but weak and foolish mother who does not train the children to behave with respect for the feelings of others, who permits them to be selfish or cruel or thoughtless. I remember reading a story, years ago, that greatly interested me. It described how a worn, tired-looking woman was riding in the cars with her son, she sitting by the window. The son was a thoughtless boy, and soon began to whine and complain until he made his tired mother move away from and let him sit by the window. The observer, looking on, remarked that in the future there would be some unfortunate wife who would wonder "why men are so selfish," instead of placing the blame where it really ought to be placed-upon the lack of strength of character, the lack of wisdom, the lack of genuine love on the part of that woman in not bringing her boy up to be unselfish and thoughtful of others, so that he might live decently in his own household, and do his work well in the world at large.

At first thought, I might never have put this dessert together. But when I needed a sweet treat and all I had was a can of crescent roll dough and m&m's, it just came together. And I have to say, they've made a perfect combination, topped with a drizzle of frosting. Yum.
Recipe for M&M Crescent Rolls:
- crescent roll dough – mine came from a can, but any roll dough will do.
- m&m chocolate candies
- baking pan
- frosting
1. Lay out your triangle shaped dough. Place 8-9 m&m's on the large area of the triangle. Press them in a bit as you place them, so they won't fall around when you roll the dough.
2. Start with the large end of the triangle crescent dough and roll it up to the tip. Place each one on a baking sheet, and top with one m&m for show.
3. Bake these rolls according to your recipe's directions (or from the can).
4. While these are baking, 12-13 minutes, mix up your frosting. My recipe for white frosting is: 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 T milk, 1/4 tsp vanilla. Whisk together.
5. Just out of the oven, and while the rolls are still warm (they are best warm), drizzle the tops of the rolls with frosting in a fun zig-zag look.
These are ready to eat, and will look great for Valentine's Day with those pink m&ms. Try to eat them right away when they are still warm. If yours cool too soon, you can put it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to warm back up.

Researchers suggest that black children with autism are not diagnosed as early as white children, which can make treatment more difficult. While studies into why more minority children are not being diagnosis early are ongoing, there are several reasons that could be potential roadblocks in why diagnosis is delayed.
Early diagnosis can make a big difference in how children live day-to-day with autism. A recent report looks into possibilities into why the delay likely occurs more in black children. It's believed that black children may have less access to affordable quality care and knowledgeable health services.
Yet researchers also believe there is social stigma in the black community about issues in mental health which is making the issue more challenging. Some black parents are likely to be reluctant in getting services for their child if they have been diagnosed with many parents finding it a challenge to accept it in the beginning.
Another problem could be misdiagnosis; children may not have the same access to certain medical evaluations. Yet, researchers claim that diagnosing autism doesn't have a certain criteria since imbalances in the brain vary. The African American community doesn't speak about autism often which could result to more family challenges and higher rates of misdiagnoses.
1 out of 110 children are diagnosed with autism with intervention being recommended near age 3. Intervention plays an important role in helping children develop healthy living routines while aiming to improve their development in general.
