Texas Cooperative Extension is now recruiting for its 2007 Master Marketer risk management education program at Lubbock. This in-depth, intensive program teaches participants how to identify and evaluate marketing opportunities, then design and follow through with sound marketing plans.
"We are looking for a few good ag marketers who want to hone their marketing skills to a finer edge," said Jackie Smith, Extension economist at Lubbock. "Participants will learn the skills necessary to execute a marketing plan and how to manage risk to improve their profitability.
"Master Marketer training pays direct dividends to the bottom line. A recent survey suggests past participants were able to increase their average annual gross revenues from three to 10 percent, or about $33,000 each, simply by applying their new-found marketing skills and knowledge."
Master Marketers learn from top industry and university professionals, who apply case studies and simulation exercises in the classroom. The 64-hour curriculum is offered in four, two-day sessions held every two weeks.
The first of four 2007 Master Marketer Program sessions begins on Jan. 3-4, 2007. Subsequent sessions are slated for Jan. 17-18, Jan. 31 - Feb. 1 and Feb. 14-15.
"Registration costs $250 per person," Smith said. "Statewide demand for this type of training continues to grow, which is why we are bringing the program back to Lubbock. We have close to 150 Master Marketer graduates in the Lubbock area alone.
"Those who enroll should have an intermediate to advanced knowledge of marketing. Anyone who feels they aren't quite there yet can attend a free futures and options leveling workshop set for Jan. 2, 2007, at Lubbock."
Checks or money orders for registration should be payable to the Texas Extension Education Foundation. Enrollment for the 2007 Master Marketer Program in Lubbock may be limited, so prompt registration is recommended, Smith said. The registration deadline is Dec. 20, 2006.
"This will likely be the last time we offer this program in Lubbock," Smith said. "We feel we have reached a high percentage of area producers who are interested and will to make the time commitment. In the future we will shift our emphasis to more advanced one- or two-day workshops for Master Marketer graduates."
Registration fees pay only a small portion of the program's cost. Grants from the Texas Corn Producers Board, Texas Farm Bureau, the Cotton State Support Committee, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency, and agribusiness also helps fund the training, Smith said.
Texans can get registration forms or more information by calling Smith at (806) 746-6101, or from their local Extension office. More information on the Master Marketer

Nearly 14-pound baby born at western Pa. hospital
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
KITTANNING, Pa. – A woman has given birth to a nearly 14-pound baby at a western Pennsylvania hospital.
Doctors at Armstrong County Memorial Hospital near Kittanning say they don't keep official records of the largest baby ever birthed at the facility, but say Mark and Michelle Cessna's daughter born Thursday is the largest they can recall.
"Little" Addyson Gale Cessna is anything but, weighing in at 13 pounds, 12 ounces and measuring 25 inches long.
The couple is from Rural Valley, not far from the hospital which is about 40 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
The Cessnas told KDKA-TV that doctors believed the baby would be above average, but even so, they were told to expect a child about 11 pounds.
Addyson Gale was delivered by C-section and joins two brothers.

Russian Navy ships visit Havana harbor
August 3, 2013
HAVANA (AP) — A Russian Navy flotilla headed by the guided missile cruiser Moskva has arrived in Havana, exchanging a salute of artillery with a Cuban shore battery.
The Communist Party daily Granma reports that the Moskva will be open to the public on Monday and says the three ships that arrived Saturday will stay for several days on a friendly visit.
Russian military forces were a common sight in Cuba during the days of the Soviet Union, which was a close ally of the country in its political confrontation with the United States. And Russian vessels have visited several times since. Most of Cuba's weaponry was produced in the Soviet Union or Russia, though trade relations between the two nations have slumped in recent years.

Apple's Long Road to Larger iPhone Screens
Apple is gearing up for its biggest initial run of iPhones – up to 80 million units – for the model that is commonly known as the iPhone 6. The WSJ's Ramy Inocencio talks to Daisuke Wakabayashi about why it took Apple so long to go bigger with its screens.

The Mets aren't quite a Lindsay Lohan train wreck, but today in snowy and cold Minneapolis perhaps they can reflect on what went wrong in Philadelphia and some of these very visible cracks:
STARTING PITCHING: At 5-4, the Mets are better than expected and received strong starts in six games, but Matt Harvey and Jon Niese followed by three days of rain isn't going to happen.
In three of their last four games the back end of the rotation has been exposed. Dillon Gee says he's fine, but there was something wrong Tuesday night. The Mets might be better off leaving Jeremy Hefner home when they go to Philadelphia. Aaron Laffey is starting until Shaun Marcum is ready, but nobody knows what to expect when he returns.
BULLPEN: There have been some stinkers, that's to be expected. But, nine games in and Terry Collins is already worried about overworking his relievers. That comes when there's no back end of the rotation.
The pen is working close to three innings a game, and at this rate will be fried by July. If you recall, the porous bullpen precipitated last year's second-half collapse.
NO POWER: Yes, they've homered in every game, but that's misleading as most of that is John Buck and Daniel Murphy, with a little Lucas Duda on the side.
Nobody expects Buck to keep his pace (five homers in nine games), but if he did you can bet they'll be shopping him in July if they aren't winning. Ike Davis is in a dreadful slump and David Wright is joining him.
Of Wright's 32 at-bats, 15 have come with runners on base, but he only has four RBI. Wright's slugging percentage is way down with only two doubles and his batting average is at .250. He could use the day off.
Meanwhile, Davis has more than twice as many strikeouts as he has hits and he's well on his way of duplicating last year's slow first half.
Duda has been a plus, especially with his patience and ability to take the walk. He's among the league leaders in walks. This patience will translate into home runs.
NO LEADOFF HITTER: This was a problem going into spring training and it is a problem now. CollinCowgill has the most opportunities, but hasn't produced. Neither has Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who might be on his way to the minors as the Mets need a utility infielder.
Mike Baxter had the best game of the leadoff hitters, but Collins is reluctant to give him an extended chance. The same applies to Jordany Valdespin, who always seems to make things happen, good and bad, because of his speed.
OUTFIELD: The only constant is Duda, has Collins has gone to a platoon in the center and right, something he said he wouldn't do. Marlon Byrd had a good start, but he's not an everyday player.
CONCLUSION: Rocky times could be ahead. The Mets took advantage of solid starting pitching to get off to a 5-2 start, but that hasn't continued outside of Harvey and Niese. The Mets need more from the back end of their rotation as to cut the bullpen's innings.
The offense scored 19 runs in the first two games, but only 30 in the following seven. Buck is not going to keep this up all season. Eventually, Wright and Davis must produce or it will be a long summer.

Following recent decisions made by SUNY Downstate regarding Long Island College Hospital, community members and elected officials staged a protest outside SUNY's Manhattan headquarters last week.
Several, including Councilman Steve Levin and Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, left the protest in handcuffs, led away by police for failing to leave SUNY property.
Recently, SUNY eliminated ambulance service to the hospital stating that "an exodus of staff," had occurred. However, groups fighting to save the hospital, argued SUNY was in violation of a restraining order that stated it could not make decisions that would reflect the closure of LICH.
"By getting arrested, we are sending a message that we will not tolerate SUNY's disturbing disregard of the court orders," Levin said. "LICH provides vital healthcare to our community and must be kept open for care."
Justice Johnny Lee Baynes, the same judge that issued the restraining order, also ruled that the hospital must maintain the same amount of staff it had in February until the fate of the hospital is determined.
Despite that, SUNY has closed the maternity ward, cardiac catheterization lab, radiation oncology department, coronary care unity and the residency program.
"Right now, we're losing this hospital as we speak," said de Blasio before being arrested. "Facilities in the hospital are being closed down day by day, patients are being turned away, ambulances are being turned away. This hospital is on the verge of being lost to our community."
Another protest was held on Monday, July 8 in Albany at the capital building calling on Governor Andrew Cuomo to step in and save LICH.
That following Thursday, a "Stroller March to Save LICH" took place, as Cobble Hill residents brought their children out to protest the possible closure. The march began at the LICH playground on Henry and Pacific streets and ended with three arrests at the Brooklyn Bridge.
Among those arrested was Assemblywoman Joan Millman, who joked the next day about her run-in with the law by saying that her wrists were just starting to feel better.
"We did what we did as an attempt to keep up the momentum," said Millman. "It is not pleasant, but it's what needs to be done."
SUNY Downstate has said the LICH is a financial burden, and tried to close it completely, but changed its course and said it would attempt to find a suitable buyer.
Millman has seen the Request for Information (RFI) that SUNY filed for prospective buyers. However, she said the seven interested buyers did not clearly state their intentions for the facility or even who they represent.
One of the proposals is for housing, something the community does not favor.
"They are violating our human right for health care and that is why we're stepping this up a notch," said Jeff Strabone, who was arrested with de Blasio and Levin at the rally in Manhattan. "We're law-abiding people, the people who should be in jail are the SUNY Board of Trustees."

Kelly Rutherford opens up about divorce
Actress KELLY RUTHERFORD has opened up about her split from ex-husband DANIEL GIERSCH, insisting she chose to end their marriage over his friendships with other women.
The Carling Cup Final was a great advert for English football
The Gossip Girl star was left devastated last month (Aug12) when she lost her bid to have her two children - Hermes, five, and Helena Grace, three - returned to the U.S. from France, where they spent the summer (12) with their German businessman father Giersch.
Rutherford is still struggling to come to terms with the ruling, telling the New York Post, "I'm living a mother's worst nightmare," and now the pain of missing her kids has prompted the 43 year old to reflect on her ill-fated marriage to their dad.
The actress filed for divorce while pregnant with Giersch's unborn daughter in January 2009, just two years after they tied the knot, and now she has explained the cause of their break-up.
Rutherford tells the publication, "(I left) because there were other women. I found him e-mailing one night, saying he was sorry he couldn't meet up. I was only married to him for just over two years. You don't see it coming, you think something's wrong with you."

Green Blog Project - Summer 2007 Reminder
Looking at the entries that have already piled up, I am very excited to host the Green Blog Project – Summer 2007 event. I am sure like me, others are also keeping busy with their gardening. If you live in northern america remember to bring in your summer veggies and tropical plants now or when the low temp is below 50F. In Colorado, thankfully it is mostly in the 50's till the end of September, so I have a few more days to harvest my veggies. Here are a few pics from my garden.

Pets, Pets, Pets . .
Updating the search for the Westminster Kennel Club clubhouse in Babylon: A street discrepancy, an 8-letter difference, in a 1923 Babylon Leader edition creates a burning question concerning the Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) fire. Even primary sources tend to conflict or contain errors. It seems the more you find out historically, the less certain you are.
Upon discovering the date, I was ecstatic, and so sure an enormous brush fire April 22, 1923 destroyed the clubhouse (online "Pets" 1/31/08). At that time, I had three old newspaper accounts-NY Times, LI Sun, Amityville Record-with the first 2 mentioning "Ewell" and his burned out neighbors by name. (James L. Ewell bought the property from WKC in 1904.) The local account was missing because of a six-month gap in the 1923 Babylon Leader microfilm. Shortly after I stumbled on bound Leaders kept in the Village vault.
The April 27, 1923 Leader has such detail, much more than can fit here. I furiously copied it by hand since the fragile text was too close to the binding to photocopy....so vivid- four families became homeless but no people were hurt. The newly wed Browns, living in the Fox bungalow only six days, lost all their belongings and were not covered by insurance. In contrast, their landlady wrote a letter of thanks for her policy's prompt payment…Joe Conway sat outside the ruins of his abode with his gun across his lap and his faithful dog at his side … Babylon Fire Dept. Argyle Hose Company "had a misfortune when their motor apparatus turned into a ditch on Livingston Ave. [street closest to the clubhouse] as the driver tried to avoid a person approaching on a bicycle. [My old fire photos show bicycles]"… Chief Arink left his son in "his handsome sedan" only to see the roof of the car catch on fire… The Chief later thanked Bishop McDonnell Council K of C for coffee, cigarettes and sandwiches served to the fireman. [This K of C was razed last fall to make way for five new homes].
The brush fire sparked near Pine Lawn engulfed Babylon. I traced other familiar fire path names including Oertel, Fox, Isaac Sprague, also Isaac Smith to the west and David Smith to the east of the clubhouse on a 1915 map. Spellings varied from paper to paper. It wasn't until I started typing that I realized my notes said "Ewell cottage on Litchfield Avenue." I must have made a mistake. It should be "Livingston". Went back to the Village copy- nope- Leader said "Litchfield". Did I have the wrong raging fire?
Now I also have the Brooklyn Eagle version with no victims cited. A kind Brooklyn librarian mailed every Babylon microfilm fire she could find 1921-1925, even one at St. Joseph's rectory. I've poked around April 1923 again for other fires, and spoken to historians who agree old records often have mistakes.
A shadow of a doubt clouds my certainty, but there are many reasons why "Litchfield" instead of "Livingston" could be a typo: Both streets start with "Li", are two tenths of a mile apart, so locals still confuse them. Back then there were no parallel streets between the "Li" pair. The 1915 Hyde (shown) doesn't have Ewell land extending as far west as Litchfield. A 1909 Babylon phone directory lists Ewell's address as "Kennel Club Road", probably a made up name for the nearest trail.
Village tax ledgers, including 1925 and 1933, label both his east and west boundaries as "Livingston". Ledgers from between 1921-25 show Ewell owned 45 acres, less than the 64-acre purchased from WKC. The property was shrinking, not expanding west. Gwynn Leitch, Ewell's great granddaughter, doesn't recall hearing of a family cottage on Litchfield. Perhaps little attention is given to the Ewell loss in the Leader because the clubhouse was not their primary residence; their farmhouse closer to Livingston was spared damage. The Ewells were not left homeless like other unfortunate folks. In fact, the clubhouse may have been uninhabited in 1923, after the failed lease as MacLevy's health resort.
The next owner of the other Ewell home- a 1700s farmhouse, the original WKC clubhouse- said that soon after a devastating fire when "all sparks flew around", this farmhouse was moved a second time (WKC moved it first in 1884 to make room for the now vanished clubhouse) just to the other side of Livingston onto an empty, slightly crooked foundation where it remains today. A small fire wouldn't justify flipping the farmhouse.
Last I finally found the source of the Althea Baldwin scrapbook photo showing the WKC clubhouse "consumed by flames some 14 years ago." It is part of a Babylon 25 years ago retrospective in the July 12, 1935 Leader written by James Cooper, former editor. That makes an April 22, 1923 fire 12 years and 3 months ago, close enough to "some 14 years". In addition, Carolyn James, Beacon editor, helped me reach 91-year-old James Cooper and his daughter, now living in Georgia.
Mr. Cooper, who would have been six or seven at the time of the fire, doesn't recall the clubhouse, yet remembers playing by Southards Pond and drinking from the clear stream. It was his late father, the previous Leader editor, who wrote the 1935 piece with the photo of Babylon Westminster. Ironically, a separate picture of a Cooper homestead adjoins the WKC clubhouse photo in this same article.
Despite doubt about the fire date, I still have high hopes that the strange Southards sandpit is the site of both the clubhouse and the grave of Sensation, WKC symbolic Pointer ("Pets" 3/6/08) and even higher hopes that recent contacts will bring technological experts to the area to hunt for a buried foundation.
For adoption: This week "Gustaf" #59 a Swiss Mt. Dog mix at Oyster Bay Town Shelter (677-5784) Miller Pl. Syosset would like to welcome spring and Easter in a loving home. Gustaf is much more relaxed out of the kennel. "Dandelion" #111 is a large female tabby with lovely green eyes.
Keep in mind that mature pets (5 or over) and mature adopters (62 or older) qualify for the Town's "Seniors for Seniors". Dogs are $2.50 for a license; cats are free- spay/neuter is still included.
The 2 shaved cats #104/105, the only remaining pets from the huge SPCA seizure, qualify for this program.

BARRY KIESELSTEIN-CORD Estate 18kt Citrine Intaglio Earrings
Product Details
Creating art as objects, with a sense of style ungoverned by the whims of fashion, Barry Kieselstein-Cord was a talented artist known for his somewhat bold, sculptural, sophisticated and primitive techniques. His often whimsical pieces are coveted because they are thought of as much more than jewelry and accessories, but instead as a piece of art. Many of his creations have been accepted into the permanent collections of the Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston as examples of fine arts, but more importantly, they are valued by individual collectors, who collect them and display every day in the world's greatest gallery in the world—its streets.
A beautiful pair of Barry Kieselstein-Cord 18kt gold intaglio estate clip-on citrine earrings! These stunning earrings are oval in shape and have a beautiful citrine intaglio carved on the front. The setting is a bezel type setting with 3 graduated curved gold rows along the outside and 2 small balls set in a rectangular design on either side. The intaglio carving appears to be that of a Greek God, with a gold mirror facing outward set behind the intaglio. The backs of the earrings are stamped "B.KIESELSTEIN-CORD", "1985", "750" and also feature a KIESELSTEIN-CORD signature hallmark stamp. A stunning pair of earrings, they would make any Barry Kieselstein-Cord collection complete!
Measurements: The earrings measure approximately 7/8" long, approximately 3/4" wide and approximately 1/4" deep.
Condition: The overall condition of the earrings is excellent. There are some very minor surface scratches in the citrines, which are not noticeable when worn. There is no apparent damage to the gold and the earring clips are secure and in good working condition.

Chris - The humble peasant... said:
Debating with New Orleans folks is like arguing with a black woman
Quick question. How do you compare a clip of a band from the end of the year one year with the start of the year 2 years later? Those Scotlandville clips were from the spring of the 2010-2011 school year and fall 2012-2013 school year. The work hard play hard was with just a portion of the band due to the hurricane that hit. Like someone said earlier, you picked the worst clips possible to compare. I've seen much better from every band listed.
reachfest 2012
I agree with that one!
Juvon Pollard Sr. said:
I'm from New Orleans born and raised. I'm currently a band director in Baton Rouge. Both cities have qualities that the other don't. I respect the musical culture in the city, it's a big part of who I am. Let me just put this out there New Orleans has middle school programs that's better than some of our high school programs, we have maybe one or two and all the schools have to fight to get them. ( I have no feeder at all ) my point is we have to develope kids from stratch down here which makes the playing field much different. Kids go to high school in New Orleans already playing not all but more go playing than don't. I know cause I went to my high school already playing very well. We get kids that sign up for band who can't even spell the name of the instrument they wanna play.
In closing the only way to settle this debate is to get the bands from both cities put them in a neutral place and let them get it on. Just my thoughts.

From an Italian dinner with friends last weekend. I'm extremely enthusiastic about this super Tuscan - I'll let my notes do the talking.
Fattoria Viticcio, Bere, Toscana 2008
50% Sangiovese, 25% each of Cab Sauv and Merlot. Just a bit closed at first. On the nose and palate, a personality of black cherry, damson, prominent herbs, orange rind, a hint of plum tomato, violets, and dark chocolate. Dark but fresh, aromatic and attractive (which sums up the wines of this vintage nicely); full bodied, with perfect acid balance. This is from Chianti, and has the personality of a Chianti, but perfectly enhanced by the Cab and Merlot, rather than masked by them. A remarkable wine, and possibly my favorite super Tuscan to date stylistically. With the balance of an excellent Chianti and the structure contributed by the Cab, this will age gracefully for up to another 10 years. What's more, this is possible the most outstanding value I've encountered in Tuscany, at just $15 a bottle. 3 Stars [6/15/13]
Erath, Pinot Noir, Oregon 2009
Smells like a Nuits, with leather, cloves, and matchstick. On palate, the same personality as the nose, with black cherry and blackberry. Very fine, substantial yet attractive, though it is marred a little bit the alcohol showing through quite noticeably. Still, quite a good wine. 2.5 stars [6/15/13]

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Behind five goals apiece from senior Madline Golden and sophomore Amanda Amerson, the Birmingham-Southern women's lacrosse team won its second straight game wit a 14-11 victory against conference rival Berry College, Saturday afternoon on Battle Field at Panther Stadium.
BSC moves to 5-4 overall and 3-2 in the Southern Athletic Association; the Vikings fall to 5-3 overall and 3-1 in the SAA.
The Panthers scored the first goal of the game less than three minutes in when Amerson collected a pass from sophomore Taylor Bates for her 34th goal of the season. After a Berry free position goal by Kelsey McAnnally at the 26:47 mark, BSC would out-score the Vikings 7-2 to close out the first half with an 8-3 lead.
Berry made things interesting to open the second half, coming out with a renewed offensive energy and using a 5-1 run to cut the lead to 9-8 by the 15:45 mark. The Panthers responded with two goals from Golden to go back up 11-8, but the Vikings scored three in a row to tie things up 11-11 with 9:03 to play. BSC would take control of the game after that, though, scoring three unanswered goals to pull up 14-11 for the victory.
Golden and Amerson led all players with five goals each, and Bates added two goals and three assists. Amerson led with seven ground balls and three caused turnovers, while Golden led with eight draw controls. Freshman goalkeeper Caitlin Dryer recorded nine saves in 60 minutes of play.
Berry goalkeeper Taylor Martin recorded 15 saves for the Vikings. Kristan Dziurzynski led with four goals and two assists.
The Panthers are at home again this Monday, March 24, hosting Buffalo State at 5 p.m.

Now more than ever, millions of Americans will find a need to hire a bankruptcy attorney due to their high debt levels. In many cases, this is a result of events outside of their control: immediate need of medical care, the loss of a job, significant reduction of wages, and predatory lending.
Call (248) 825-8042 today to schedule a free consultation with a bankruptcy attorney to determine whether filing for bankruptcy is right for you. Or, contact us here.
Eliminate Debt | Bankruptcy Attorney Michigan
Filing for bankruptcy is an option that has helped millions of people eliminate their debt and get a second chance at a bright financial future.
Filing may allow you to:
- Erase Debt
- Stop Creditor Harassment
- Save Your Home, Car, and Personal Items
- Start Fresh
Filing under Chapter 7 in most cases will immediately place a hold on all collections activities, home foreclosure proceedings, wage garnishments, harassing creditor calls, and repossessions. Speaking with a bankruptcy attorney is the first step to obtaining financial freedom.
Free Consultation | Speak with a Bankruptcy Lawyer
If you are considering bankruptcy and would like to learn more about your options, we would be glad to meet with you and review your situation during a free no obligation consultation at our Troy office.
Give us a call at (248) 825-8042 to schedule a free consultation.
Filing Options | Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?
As a Michigan consumer, the U.S. Bankruptcy code offers you two options, depending upon your unique circumstances.
- Chapter 7 Bankruptcy - Commonly referred to as a liquidation bankruptcy, the general idea is that the debtor's assets are sold by a court appointed trustee to satisfy the debtor's debts. However, an actual liquidation is a rarity. Once the bankruptcy petition is filed, an automatic stay is ordered. An automatic stay temporarily stops all collection activity, including creditor calls, home foreclosure, wage garnishments, car repossessions and other related activities.
- Chapter 13 Bankruptcy - A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is referred to as a reorganization bankruptcy. Similar to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, once a debtor files for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the court issues an automatic stay, which temporarily halts all collection activities. The debtor is then placed into a repayment plan which is typically stretched up to five years.
Your debt relief options will vary depending upon your unique circumstances. During your free consultation, we will:
- Determining whether filing under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 is right for you
- Learn whether any other debt-settlement options is right for you
- Answer any and all questions you may have regarding your financial situation

Irena Elzbieta Wos
Born: February 18, 1923
Warsaw, Poland
Irena was the second of four children born to religious Roman Catholic parents in Poland's capital of Warsaw. Irena's father owned a successful textile business. When Irena was 10, her family moved to a comfortable apartment near the Royal Castle and the Vistula River. In 1930 Irena entered a private grade school.
1933-39: At 14 I began secondary school. I was a good student and wanted to be a doctor. On September 1, 1939, the day I was supposed to begin the new school year, the Germans attacked Poland. A week later, Warsaw was surrounded . My brother and I manned lookouts to spot fires and German spies. On September 25 the six-story building next to ours was destroyed by German bombs. Three days later, our city surrendered to the Germans.
1940-44: I attended an illegal secondary school run at night by the underground. Then in 1943 I joined the resistance [Armia Krajowa] and became a courier. My job was to deliver informational fliers before and during our August 1, 1944, uprising in Warsaw. The battle went badly. As our fighters retreated from my neighborhood, I hid in a basement with my family. On September 2 the Germans found us. They destroyed our home and arrested us. I was deported to Spandau to be a slave laborer in a munitions factory.
On May 2, 1945, the third day of a forced march out of Spandau, Irena was liberated by Soviet troops. She emigrated from Poland to the United States in 1970.

|Vini (1)
This stout lorikeet is immediately identifiable by its striking pattern of white cheeks and bib against a mostly dark blue plumage, combined with an orange bill and legs (2) (4). No less recognisable is this bird's call, which consists of a very high-pitched hissing screech scheee-scheee (4).
Breeding has been recorded in October, December and January, with nests found high up in holes in trees. Clutches of two eggs are incubated for 25 days in captivity, and the nestling period lasts around 60 days (2).
The blue lorikeet feeds on nectar, soft fruit, flowers and leaf shoots, particularly of coconut, banana, guava and mango (2) (4). It is also observed to consume small insects and the larvae (caterpillars) of moths and butterflies (5).
The blue lorikeet is today found on only 9 of up to 24 islands on which it was known to occur at the time of European discovery of the Pacific. Eight of these islands are located in French Polynesia, including the Society Islands and the northern atolls of the Tuamotu Archipelago (5). An additional population occurs on Aitutaki, in the Cook Islands (4). Recent surveys in French Polynesia, combined with information from previous surveys, suggest a global population estimate for the species of between 7,200 and 9,000 individuals (5).
The blue lorikeet is most commonly found on atolls and low islands where it is typically found in coconut plantations (5). On high islands it is found in all habitats, but is most common in lowland woodlands, mixed stands of native and cultivated trees, flowering plants, gardens, and coconut and banana plantations (2) (4).
The extinction of blue lorikeets from many islands is primarily a result of predation by black rats (Rattus rattus) (6) and feral cats introduced by humans, as well as hunting for illegal trade, mainly by locals (4) (6). A particularly violent hurricane is also thought to have had a significant impact on bird populations on Makatea, in the Tuamotus (4).
Survival of this species is dependent on the absence of black rats on the islands where it remains. Thus, raising conservation awareness about the need to prevent the introduction of this animal is essential in the long-term protection of this colourful lorikeet (2). In addition, eradication of black rats on infested islands should be undertaken (5).
For more information on the blue lorikeet see:

I was no Don Juan.
Nineteen years old, and I'd yet to ask a girl out on a date.
Sometimes friends tried to arrange something. As when Tom and Joan set me up with her girlfriend Mish for a double date at a beach party in Cedar Lake, Ind.
Nervous but hopeful, I bought a canary yellow muscle shirt and left my thick black eyeglasses at home.
Mish was blonde and petite. She asked to sit in the back seat of the car and "catch up" with Joan, so I was not able to use the 15 questions I'd written and memorized.
Driving on the Calumet Expressway, I collided with a road construction cone, blowing out the right front tire of my sister's Volkswagen. With no spare, my new shirt got sweaty and oily from my lugging the wheel several miles to and from the gas station.
When I asked Tom if he would take over driving, Mish got all agitated, as though it were some craven ploy for me to crawl next to her, which set the tone for the rest of a nightmarish Saturday that Tom assured me we would laugh about one day, though I'm still waiting.
I simply had no idea what to say or how to act with a girl. Like suddenly someone handing me a violin.
So I submerged myself in books at Chicago Teachers College. And after school I worked as a bag boy at our neighborhood Jewel.
A dozen young women worked as cashiers, my sister Rosie among them. I usually tried to get assigned to her counter, or to her close friend Marianne's, where I didn't worry about sounding ridiculous or if another pimple had sprouted on my chin.
We all attended the same school — Rosie, Marianne and I. They were education majors, and I was English.
Marianne was popular, with a circle of friends from the Beverly neighborhood, including boys who would visit at work. And every Wednesday they congregated at Telly's Lounge on Western Avenue, where the music was deafening, the crowd wall to wall, and ID checks infrequent.
Marianne had the classic look of Maureen O'Hara, with hazel eyes and silky brown hair. But what stunned me most was the way she moved: She seemed to float rather than walk toward you, and sometimes I imagined her feet not touching the ground. It made sense when I learned later that her mother had been a theater actress.
Nonetheless, she was one female I could answer without stammering. As a schoolmate, a fellow worker and sis' sidekick, she did not feel threatening.
So one day, when she asked me about verb forms in German 101, it was not a big deal. Though enrolled in different classes, we both had Frau Schreiner as our professor, and I agreed to help.
We arranged to meet in the balcony of the auditorium where she could smoke her Winstons with "Grundlagen der Deutschen" open on her lap. And it did not take long to see the source of her difficulty. I quizzed her with a sentence, Der Hund mag den Stick — The dog likes the stick — and immediately she veered off-course.
"How is it you have an aptitude for languages? Rosie says you never talk."
People ask questions idly. Or to trap you. Or even as a rebuke. Marianne wanted to see the other side of every door.
"Do you think Frau Schreiner will fail me? ... Does she, I wonder, grade boys easier so they won't be drafted?"
Like Sherlock Holmes with all the questions, but I wasn't complaining, being near her in the darkened theater, leaning over an exercise in the textbook, smelling lavender and tobacco in her hair.
She would wait for my philosophy class to end, when I'd see her statuesque figure hovering in the hall. Dr. Parejko watched for her, too, and one morning made a crack about McGrath's "better half" being late. Students laughed.
Wednesday before midterms, the book sat closed on her lap.
"What's next for you, David?"
"Shouldn't we review vocabulary?"
"Ten years from now, what do you see?"
She searched for her Winstons while I described my likely career path. She lit one up as I finished. "Practical plans, sure. But what do you wonder about?"
I started in with my curiosity about other dimensions in life, like the collective consciousness in nature hinted at by Jack London. I segued to D.H. Lawrence and heightened human encounter. I paused, but my worry about boring her was consumed in those firefly eyes as she tilted forward, a wayward strand of hair across her cheek.
It grew late, her book still unopened.
"Can we study after work?" she asked.
"Isn't tonight Telly's?"
"I won't miss much. There's a reason they blast the music."
Tuesday before Thanksgiving, I slaved in Jewel's basement, wearing cowhide gloves to smash empty boxes and stuff the cardboard flats into the baler.
Like a ghost, Marianne suddenly appeared behind me, tears in her eyes. But then I realized it was the snowflakes, all in her hair, glinting on her face and shoulders.
The pink hem of her cashier's uniform extended below her gray wool coat. She seemed nervous, vulnerable.
I felt something melt inside, and she could have asked me anything: Fly to China? Run barefoot in the snow? I would have obeyed unquestioningly.
"David, on days we don't have tutoring, do you miss us as badly as I do?"
Though I would not tell her I loved her till Christmas, I knew it in that moment.
I held her but did not yet kiss her. Careful not to mess things up, to insinuate myself too soon. For that would happen slowly, with gradual intensity and continuously escalating joy over the next four decades.
We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary on Aug. 5. Contrary to what I previously thought, I'd still not gotten a date on my own; for Marianne confessed she had never actually needed help with her German.
David McGrath is emeritus English professor, College of DuPage, and author of "The Territory," a story collection. Marianne taught fourth grade for 23 years. They have three grown children: Mike, Jackie and Janet. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

precipitation in the form of flakes of crystalline water ice
Snow is so much more than a type of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds, but complicates and blesses our lives in a number of ways, giving rise to both frustration and romance.
- When men were all asleep the snow came flying,
In large white flakes falling on the city brown,
Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying,
Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town.
- Robert Bridges, London Snow, (1890) l. 1-4.
- But pleasures are like poppies spread—
You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river—
A moment white—then melts forever.
- Robert Burns, Tam o' Shanter (1790) Line 59
- The Hyla breed
That shouted in the mist a month ago,
Like ghost of sleigh-bells in a ghost of snow.
- Robert Frost, Hyla Brook (1920).
- The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
- Robert Frost, Dust of Snow (1923).
- If, as they say, some dust thrown in my eyes
Will keep my talk from getting overwise,
I'm not the one for putting off the proof.
Let it be overwhelming, off a roof
And round a corner, blizzard snow for dust,
And blind me to a standstill if it must.
- Robert Frost, Dust in the Eyes (1928).
- But he sent her Good-by,
And said to be good,
And wear her red hood,
And look for skunk tracks
In the snow with an ax —
And do everything!
- Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
- Robert Frost, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (1923), St. 1.
- Then, on the silence of the snows there lay
A Sabbath's quiet sunshine,—and its bell
Filled the hushed air awhile, with lonely sway;
For the stream's voice was chained by Winter's spell,
The deep wood-sounds had ceased.
- Felicia Hemans, The League of the Alps, or the Meeting on the Field of Grütli (1826)
- 琴詩酒友皆抛我 雪月花時最憶君
- Friends on pipa, poetry and drinking, all of them cast me away. When I see the snow, the moon or blossoms, I long for you deeply.
- Bai Juyi (772 - 846),「寄殷律協」.
- 国境のトンネルを越えると雪国であった。夜の底が白くなった。
- The train came out of the long border tunnel — and there was the snow country. The night had turned white.
- Yasunari Kawabata, Snow Country (1948), translated by Edward Seidensticker.
- ...the wind had dropped, and the snow, tired of rushing around in circles trying to catch itself up, now fluttered gently down until it found a place on which to rest, and sometimes the place was Pooh's nose and sometimes it wasn't and in a little while Piglet was wearing a white muffler round his neck and feeling more snowy behind the ears than he had ever felt before.
- A. A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner (1928).
- In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.
- Christina Rossetti, Mid-Winter (1872), st. 1.
Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical QuotationsEdit
- Quotes reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 723.
- Lo, sifted through the winds that blow,
Down comes the soft and silent snow,
White petals from the flowers that grow
In the cold atmosphere.
- George W. Bungay, The Artists of the Air.
- Through the sharp air a flaky torrent flies,
Mocks the slow sight, and hides the gloomy skies;
The fleecy clouds their chilly bosoms bare,
And shed their substance on the floating air.
- George Crabbe, Inebriety.
- Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,
Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,
And veils the farmhouse at the garden's end.
The sled and traveller stopped, the courier's feet
Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit
Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed
In a tumultuous privacy of storm.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Snow-Storm.
- Come, see the north-wind's masonry.
Out of an unseen quarry evermore
Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer
Curves his white bastions with projected roof
Round every windward stake, or tree, or door.
Speeding, the myriad-handed, his wild work
So fanciful, so savage, naught cares he
For number or proportion.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Snow-Storm.
- Out of the bosom of the Air,
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Snow-Flakes.
- Where's the snow
That fell the year that's fled—where's the snow?
- Samuel Lover, The Snow.
- Notre Dame des Neiges.
- Our Lady of the Snows.
- Emile Nelligan, title of a poem.
- Sancta Maria ad Nives.
- Name of the basilica dedicated to Our Lady, now known as Santa Maria Maggiora. Many Catholic churches so called after the famous legend.
- As I saw fair Chloris walk alone,
The feather'd snow came softly down,
As Jove, descending from his tow'r
To court her in a silver show'r.
The wanton snow flew to her breast,
As little birds into their nest;
But o'ercome with whiteness there,
For grief dissolv'd into a tear.
Thence falling on her garment hem,
To deck her, froze into a gem.
- On Chloris walking in the Snow. In Wit's Recreations. J. C. Hotten's reprint, p. 308. (1640).
- Mais où sont les neiges d'antan? C'estoit le plus grand soucy qu'eust Villon, le poëte parisien.
- But where are the snows of last year? That was the greatest concern of Villon, the Parisian poet.
- François Rabelais, Pantagruel (1532), Chapter XIV.
- A little snow, tumbled about, anon becomes a mountain.
- William Shakespeare, King John (1598), Act III, scene 4, line 176.
- O that I were a mockery king of snow,
Standing before the sun of Bolingbroke,
To melt myself away in water drops!
- William Shakespeare, Richard II (c. 1595), Act IV, scene 1, line 260.
- For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night
Whiter than new snow on a raven's back.
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet (1597), Act III, scene 2, line 18.
- Lawn as white as driven snow.
- William Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale (c. 1610-11), Act IV, scene 4, line 220.
- Mais où sont les neiges d'antan?
- But where are the snows of yester year?
- François Villon, Ballade des Dames du Temps Jadis.
- O the snow, the beautiful snow,
Filling the sky and earth below;
Over the house-tops, over the street,
Over the heads of the people you meet,
Dancing, flirting, skimming along.
- James W. Watson, Beautiful Snow.

(Modelled after that brilliant proposal of a former era by Dr. Jonathan Swift.)
The Husbandry Bill having gone down in Flames in the House of Representatives because it apportioned too much nutrition to the poor of this Great Country, We, the Republican members of this August Body, do hereby put forth a
For Preventing the Poor People
in the United States, from Being a Burden on Its Hard-working Fellow Citizens, and for Making Them
Beneficial to the Publick
It is a melancholy Object to those, who travel through this Great Country , when they see the Streets, the Roads, and Apartment Stoops, crowded with what Ayn Rand calls the Lice and the Parasites of both Sexes, importuning every Passenger and Pedestrian for Money. These Moochers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in Calling or Waiting in Line, to beg Sustenance from the Government for their helpless offspring, who, as they grow up either turn Thieves for want of work, or move to a Red State and live off the largess of the U. S. government, or angrily join the Tea Party, moving the Party of Lincoln far more to the Right than is advisable in the present environment.
We think it is agreed by all caucuses within the GOP, that this prodigious number of Poor People, are, in the present deplorable state of the Republic, a very great additional burden; and therefore whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these Freeloaders sound and useful Members of the Commonwealth would deserve so well of the public, as to have his Statue set up for a Preserver of the Nation.
But our Intention is very far from being confined to provide only for the Poor of this Great Nation; it is of a much greater extent, and shall take in the whole number of hard-working Middle-class Americans, who frequent the many fine and divers eating establishments of our Metropolitan Areas.
There is likewise another great Advantage in our Proposal, that it will prevent those voluntary Abortions, and that horrid practice of Women making their own Reproductive Choices, alas! too frequent among us, sacrificing the poor innocent Babes, no doubt,-- more to avoid the Expense, than the Shame, which would move Tears and Pity in the most Savage and Inhuman Christian breast among us.
We, the Republican members of the House of Representatives, do therefore humbly offer it to public consideration, that the millions of these Moochers who daily suck off the teat of the federal government, since obesity runs rampant among these millions, do hereby serve a useful public function--i. e. as nutrition. A Poor Person will make at least four Dishes at an Entertainment for Friends, and when the Family dines alone, the fore or hind Quarter will make a reasonable Dish, and seasoned with a little Pepper or Salt will be very good Boiled on the Fourth Day, especially in Winter.
We have reckoned upon an Average, that a Poor Person in his or her twenties will weigh about 180 pounds, and in a solar Year if tolerably fed, the weight will encreaseth to 200 Pounds.
We grant this food will be greatly prized as a delicacy,-- and therefore very proper for the Legislators of Our Land, who, as they have already pissed away a great deal of time obstructing useful legislation, must keep up their sustenance.
We can think of no one Objection, that will possibly be raised against this Proposal, unless it should be urged, that the Number of Poor People will thereby be much lessened in the United States. This we freely admit, and it was indeed one Principal design in offering it to the Nation for consideration.
To conclude, let no one talk to us of these and the like Expedients, till he or she hath at least a Glimpse of Hope, that there will ever be some hearty and sincere attempt to put our Modest Proposal into practice.
Rep. Paul Ryan, Apologist for the House


text: This weekend I worked on my mothers blazer. It was my dads but since he passed it's my mothers now. We changed the plugs, wires, antifreeze, cap, and button too. But on a parts run I had issues with the brakes on my jimmy. The two bolts that hold down the rear caliper mount on the drivers side had come loose. I got some lock tight on them now and put it back together. I also changed out my thermostat from a 160 to a 195 and put in some antifreeze too.

The Astros have claimed Craig Tatum from Baltimore, according to MLBTR.
In eight seasons in the minors, Tatum has posted a .249/.316/.377 line. He's managed 299 PAs in the Majors, with a .223/.291/.264 line.
I. Don't. Understand. Ultimately, it doesn't change that Castro and Quintero are your C1/C2, but...seriously?

Astros claim Craig Tatum

Corporan is horrible. They'd already cut the horrible Towles loose. Makes sense to have another catcher around. This guy was Wieters' backup this year, he must be at least slightly better than horrible.
And, what does it cost them, the minimum salary?
- October 28, 2011 at 4:49 PM
Organizational depth guy. When Brian Epstein is a Sept. callup, you know there's not much in the minor league loop. Tatum will be at Okla. City and could be in Houston if Castro can't make the call physically.
- October 30, 2011 at 11:54 PM
Make that Brian Esposito. Sorry.
- October 30, 2011 at 11:59 PM
Snyder would have been a nice pick up, but probably too expensive for where we're at.

Common Green Lacewing (Chrysoperla rufilabris)
The beautiful and delicate common green lacewings, Chrysoperla rufilabris, feed on nectar, honeydew, and pollen as do butterflies, but their predaceous offspring help control many garden and crop pests. Members of the insect order Neuroptera, lacewings undergo egg, larval, pupal, and adult life stages.
Although not as appreciated as ladybugs, green lacewing larvae, also known as aphid lions, feed voraciously on the eggs and young of aphids, whiteflies, leafminers, some caterpillars, thrips, mealybugs, mites, and are even cannibalistic, when prey insects are in short supply. The aphid lion possesses sickle-shaped jaws that can inject a paralyzing venom, after which the insect is able to suck out the body fluids of its prey. As with the ladybug, eggs and cocoons of lacewings are available commercially for integrated pest management that is not reliant on toxic and expensive insecticides. Each larva can devour 200 or more pest eggs, larvae, or adults per week for its two to three week development period. After spending five days in a spun-silk cocoon, the adult lacewings emerge and mate. Depending on the temperature and other weather conditions, the adult lacewing will live for an additional four to six weeks.
In order to stimulate reproduction, adults need sufficient quantity of high quality nectar, pollen, and honeydew. If these are not available, the adults disperse to more suitable locations, or otherwise, die without reproducing. Artificial stimulation of lacewing reproduction in crop fields is achieved by spraying a mixture of water, sugar, and an artificial powdered dietary product called wheast. Although they cannot handle very cold winters, adult lacewings can overwinter in protected microhabitats. Effective densities of lacewings for pest management are dependent on the level of pest infestation but general recommendations are for 5,000 larvae per acre of cropland or from 5 to 10 lacewing eggs per plant in a garden.
Lacewings are often found in grass, weeds, and on the foliage of trees and shrubs. Their golden eyes contrast well with the brilliant green coloration. The wings of this relatively slow-flying, nocturnal neuropteran are large, veined, and gauze-like and may reach up to 0.3 inch long. Unusual in the insect world, the individual eggs are laid on the end of a tiny stalk, often hanging down from a plant twig or stem. Species of lacewings are found throughout the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. If an adult is captured and handled, a foul fluid is emitted from special glands as a defense mechanism.
