First Drive: 2011 Jeep Grand CherokeePosted in Project Vehicles on October 1, 2010
With the introduction of the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chrysler Corporation moves into new territory on the luxury SUV scene. New territory? In a word, yes. The 2011 offering has been completely and handsomely redesigned and given an independent rear suspension to match the front underpinnings. Luckily though, there are still a few Jeep engineers left at Chrysler, so the Grand has not been neutered into a snow- and snob-sucking luxury SUV that can't get out of its own way on the trail.
In fact, the new Grand is Trail Rated. We took it on some good slickrock obstacles to make sure that Jeep had done its homework. We're pleased to report that the Grand is still...grand.
Starting with a completely new chassis and body, the Grand retains its 5.7L V-8, with MDS, now with 360 horses and 390 lb-ft of torque. However, the all-new and eagerly awaited Pentastar 3.6L V-6 with 290 hp and 260 lb-ft is the standard powerplant.
Coupled to the W5A580 tranny for the V-6 and 545RFE for the V-8,the Grand offers three transfer case options. Quadra-Trac I, of course, is an all-wheel-drive mistake without low range, although we are sure that plenty will be sold since it will deliver the best fuel economy and poorest off-road performance. The next version is the Quadra-Trac II, the standard offering, which gives you brake traction control at all four wheels. Finally, the downgraded Quadra-Drive II system is different from previous versions; the locking diff up front is gone. However, amazingly enough the system is so much better in sensing wheel slip that if you actually drive the beast it can get the job done. Rockcrawling, on the other hand, is still best left to a solid-axle vehicle, such as the Jeep Rubicon.
The Quadra-Lift air suspension works well for added off-road clearance, and the new Jeep Selec-Terrain system gives you a knob to alter driving parameters for different surfaces-12 different powertrain, braking, and suspension combos, to be exact.
Interior comfort is far better, as are the design and function of the cabin. Softer surfaces, better ergodynamics, and far fewer doodads make for a pleasant driving experience.
Even the outside is a far better interpretation of classic Jeep design, with trapezoidal wheel arches, a non-Mercedes seven-slat grille, round headlights, and a modicum of body clearance. However, the stylistically silly concept of slit side windows coupled to massive door panels seems far better off on a battleship than an off-road vehicle. Sure, to the uninformed it seems impressive and protective from the outside, but don't try and look outside except at the sky, and for goodness' sake don't attempt to stick your elbow out on the doorjamb without the seat being in the full-up position. Form follows function in a Jeep, except here.
In the end, the Jeep Grand Cherokee still reigns supreme, and new safety and technological features abound. Whether or not we like the intrusiveness of such items, many can be deselected for a far more real driving experience. And if you are a brain-dead phone yakker/tapper, set the adaptive cruise control on and text away.
The active head restraints, blind spot detection system, Park-Sense, forward collision warning system, stability control, trailer sway control, hill start assist, hill descent assist, active turn signals, electronic roll mitigation, express up and down front windows, and Smart Beam headlamps all promise to keep you dumb, safe, and cushy. But if you really want to drive, turn everything off and try a V-6 without all the goodies. We found it to be a welcome challenge to handle in the tough stuff.
Either way, the Grand is still grand. It has hit its mark in the 4x4 world and promises to age well, like a good wine. We'll give it a thorough thrashing in our 4x4 of the Year test, which is coming in our Feb. '11 issue. We can't wait!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I'm listening to the replay of Verizon's (VZ) fourth-quarter 2012 conference call as I write this.It's all good for Apple ( AAPL). Now, by "cheap" iPhone, I don't mean that inane rumor that Apple plans to make a smartphone out of plastic. I mean the "cheap" iPhone you can buy right now. The one for $199 online at your local Apple Store, via your friendly neighborhood wireless carrier or through an electronics store. The one that you think is "cheap" but in all reality is anything but. We'll get to that in a second (and it's critically important because, again, I cut through the noise and hysteria on Apple here), but first ... When something happens with Apple, I usually bounce it off TheStreet's resident tech authority (and geek) Chris Ciaccia. Along with the numbers you need to know, Chris agrees -- what Verizon had to say bodes well for Apple:
Verizon activated 6.2 million iPhones during the quarter, half of which were the iPhone 5. This is slightly better than Wall Street was expecting, and the case can now be made for a 50 million+ iPhone quarter. Apple has increasingly become a seasonal company, with the holiday season carrying significant weight, and any optimism here, pending guidance, should bode well for the company's long-term future.Now, on to the subsidy thing. Subsidies, briefly, came up on the call, but let me make this completely clear: When the Verizon CFO said he would be looking at "subsidy reduction" (and he did say this), he did not specifically call out Apple, iPhone 5 or whatever iPhone we get next. It's also worth pointing out, as caught by Twitter follower @craig_kimball, that Verizon spoke of the same thing as long ago as the first quarter of 2012. This talk -- or these threats -- of cutting smartphone subsidies is hardly new. So, we've got nothing Apple-specific here, which could mean that Verizon has no plans to touch the iPhone subsidy. Maybe it will just tinker slightly with some of the other ones or the iPhone by a meaningless amount. Or maybe not. As I heard things on the call, the company's pretty happy with the way things are going regarding increased smartphone adoption and subsequent data consumption. During the Q&A session, the company touted considerable uptake in data consumption, thanks in large part to the speed of its LTE network. Fast and reliable network equals more video streaming, game playing, etc., etc. which, according to Verizon, leads to people upgrading to more expensive shared-data plans.

My family was together last week at my parent's beach house. They have a home that is made for sharing family time. The type of house that is happier the more people it has in it and positively elated when filled with children squealing and laughing as they play hide and seek.
My source of inspiration was the Coca Cola Cake recipe from Southern Living Magazine. I made my modifications to the recipe and selected which gluten free flours I was going to use. For the Cola Cake, you can use any cola from Boylan's Natural Cane Cola to the more traditional Coca Cola.
As I'm working on the cake batter the children crowd around the countertop to check on my progress. Amazed at the way the cola and baking soda bubble together, just like their volcano experiments. Laughing they ask for my left over cola and take the greatest care in dividing it so each of them can have a little.
Cola Cake
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup sweet rice flour
1/2 cup arrowroot starch
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup + 1 Tb cocoa powder
1 cup cane sugar
3/4 cup Turbinado sugar
1 Tb crushed kudzu powder
1 cup Cola
1/2 cup sour milk or buttermilk
1 cup butter, softened
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tsp vanilla extract
Cola Frosting
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup Cola
3 Tb cocoa powder
16 0z (1 lb) powdered sugar
1 Tb vanilla extract
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans for topping
Cola Cake
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with parchment paper, so that the bottom and sides are covered.
2. Measure out ½ cup of milk and pour in 1 ½ tsp of white vinegar to make the sour milk. Allow the sour milk to sit until needed later. Remove 2 Tb of the sour milk and pour it into a small bowl with the 1 Tb of kudzu powder. Stir the kudzu and sour milk together. Then place the small bowl into the microwave for 10 seconds or until a soft gel forms. Remove from the microwave and stir the gel until it has a soft creamy consistency. Set the kudzu gel to one side until it is needed later.
3. In a medium sized bowl, dump in all the flours, soda, and cocoa powder. Stir together.
4. Plop the butter into a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until the butter is soft and creamy. Add the cane and Turbinado sugar and mix well. Then pour in the vanilla extract and dump in the eggs. Mix on low speed until combined with the butter and sugar.
5. Alternate between the dry ingredients and sour milk until the both are added to the mixing bowl using low speed. Plop in the kudzu gel and mix together. Slowly add the cola to the mixture and beat at low speed until it is just mixed together.
6. Pour the cake batter into the 9x13 inch pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool before icing.
7. Turn the cake out on to a cake plate or cookie sheet and peel off the parchment paper. Then frost with the Cola Frosting.
Cola Frosting
1. Plop the butter in to a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until the butter is soft and creamy.
2. In a medium sized bowl, dump in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder and stir together.
3. Alternating between the sugar mixture and the cola, add them to the butter mixing them together using low speed. Add the vanilla extract and mix on low speed.
4. Spread the frosting evenly over the Cola Cake and sprinkle with pecans if desired.
The cake had a nice texture that was slightly firm and held together when it was broken off with your fork. For nibbling, it stayed together when you were holding in between your fingers.

UB researchers stalk a preventable killer
Their goal: stop falls that injure millions and kill seniors at a rate of 20,000+ a year
Release Date: July 24, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. – One in eight adults ages 65 and older suffer falls every year, and since more than 40 million seniors who are aging are in their own homes, many of these accidents occur there.
Even among seniors who are relatively healthy and agile, falling is the most common cause of traumatic brain injury and the leading cause of injury death. More than half the falls suffered by seniors are not reported, but even at that, more than 2.3 million nonfatal-fall injuries in seniors are treated in emergency departments every year and more than 660,000 result in hospitalization. The cost is upwards of $30 billion a year.
To help prevent such accidents, UB researchers and occupational therapists have created and are disseminating the Home Safety Self-Assessment Tool (HSSAT), which offers specific information about ways to prevent falls among individuals 65 years of age and older.
The tool also cites helpful safety devices and products, and offers the names and numbers of Western New York businesses and free services prepared to help with structural and equipment issues. These resource lists can be adapted easily to any locale.
An article describing HSSAT, titled "Occupational Therapy Community Practice and Home Assessments: Use of the Home Safety Self-Assessment Tool (HSSAT) to Support Aging in Place," was published in the July 13 issue of the journal Occupational Therapy in Health Care.
The HSSAT is available on several senior health-related websites, among them the aging research site at UB: http://agingresearch.buffalo.edu/hssat/hssat_ v3.pdf
It consists of seven sections:
- The home safety self-assessment checklist, which assists the user in finding and correcting hazards that could provoke tripping or falling. These can include clutter on floor and counter surfaces, unsafe carpets, problematic bed or toilet height, inadequate lighting, steep and/or dark stairwells, dangerous footwear, an absence of banisters and grab bars, and problematic cupboards and closets.
- Assistive devices and helpful products that can prevent falls. These include bathtub grab bars, carpet trims and tape, security gates, nonslip socks and safe shoes, three-step ladders, furniture risers, cord and cable covers, motion-sensing LED lights, big-button remote-control devices, bath grab bars, a water alarm with temperature monitor, fall-detection system, stair treads, walk-in tubs and many more.
- A list of home-modification service providers in Erie County that perform such home modifications as installing grab bars or railings or widening the doorway to a bathroom. These providers are insured, have experience in home modification and remodeling, and are willing to perform even a small job in the home. Phone numbers are listed, as well as email addresses and websites if available.
- A list of other local resources that provide free services related to home modification, including the Center for Assistive Technology, Erie County Department of Senior Services, Lions Blind and Charity Fund, Independent Foundation Loan Closet, Hamburg Loan Closet (American Red Cross), the Muscular Dystrophy of WNY Loan Closet, People Inc. Senior Services, Supportive Services Corporation, and legal services that can help seniors get assistance and used, low-cost equipment.
- Tips for fall prevention
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) instructions for home environment
- An action log to help keep track of the house hazard-removal processes
The HSSAT was developed by the Occupational Therapy Geriatric Group in the UB Department of Rehabilitation Science, School of Public Health and Health Professions.
Members of the group are Susan Nochajski, director of the UB Occupational Therapy Program; Jo Schweitzer, director of occupational therapy clinical education; Machiko R. Tomita, director of aging and technology research; and Sheela Rajendran, a graduate occupational therapy student.
The authors of the journal report are Nochajski, Schweitzer and Beverly Horowitz of York College, City University of New York.

How did life begin in Arda? Who were the Adam & Eve of the elves? How did the awakening happen in full detail? How many elves were there in the beginning of all?
Below, you'll find a summary of a short text written by Tolkien called Cuivienyarna which constitutes part of Quendi & Eldar (an excellent text taken from War of the Jewels). Did curiosity take you by the hand? Don't worry, let's ride with it!
According to a legend of the Elves, the first Elves were awakened by Eru Ilúvatar long before the beginning of the First Age of the Sun, near the bay of Cuiviénen. The first Elf to awake was called Imin ("First"). Next to him lay Iminyë, who would become his wife. Near where Imin woke, awoke Tata ("Second") and Tatië, and Enel ("Third") and Enelyë.
Imin, Tata, and Enel and their wives joined up, and walked through the forests. They first came across six pairs of Elves, and Imin, as eldest, claimed them as his people, and woke them. After a short time Imin and his people, together with Tata and Enel, continued their journey. Next, they came across nine pairs of Elves, and Tata as second eldest, claimed them as his people. After a short time the now thirty-six Elves continued their journey. Then they found twelve pairs of Elves, and Enel, as third eldest, claimed them as his people.
For many days the now sixty Elves dwelt by the rivers, and they began to invent poetry and music.
Finally they set out again, but Imin thought to himself that since each time they had found more Elves and his folk was least in size, he would now choose last.
They came across eighteen pairs of Elves, who were watching the stars, and Tata and Enel waited for Imin to claim them for his people, but Imin told them he would wait, so Tata added them to his folk. They were tall and had dark hair, and they were the fathers of most of the Ñoldor of later times.
The ninety-six Elves now spoke with each other and invented many new words, but then they continued their journey. Next they found twenty-four pairs of Elves, who were singing without language, and again Imin was offered the choice, but refused. Therefore Enel chose them as his people, and from them came most of theLindar or singers of later times.
And the hundred and forty-four Elves now dwelt long together, until all had learned the same language, and they were glad. But then Imin said it was time to seek more companions for him, but most of the others were content and did not join him. So Imin and Iminyë and their twelve companions set out alone, and they searched long near Cuiviénen, but never found any more companions.
And because all Elves had been found in groups of twelve, twelve became the number they counted with ever after, and 144 was for long their highest number, and in none of their later tongues was there therefore any common name for a greater number.
After the tale of the Awakening of the Elves the Companions of Imin or the Eldest Company (the later Vanyar) numbered fourteen, and they remained the smallest company. The Companions of Tata (half of whom became the Ñoldor) numbered fifty-six, and they remained the second-largest company. The Companions of Enel (the later Lindar or Teleri) were the largest company, numbering seventy-four.
Melkor was the first to learn of the Awakening. He soon began sending evil spirits among the Elves, who planted seeds of doubt against the Valar. It is also rumoured that some of the Elves were being captured by a Rider if they strayed too far, and the Elves later believed these were brought to Utumno and twisted into Orcs.
Oromë one day came across the Elves, and realized who they were. At first the Elves were suspicious of him, fearing he was the Rider who captured the Elves, and because of the lies of Melkor. Nevertheless, three lords of the Elves agreed to come with Oromë to Valinor. These were Ingwë of the Minyar (later Vanyar), Finwë of the Tatyar (later Ñoldor), and Elwë of the Lindar. In due time, Ingwë, Finwë and Elwë returned to Cuivienen, and told the Elves of the glory of Valinor, and there befell the Sundering of the Elves. All the Minyar and half of the Tatyar were persuaded, along with most of the Lindar, and followed Oromë into the west on the Great Journey. These have been known ever since by the name Eldar, or "Star-folk", which Oromë gave to them in their own language. The remainder of the Tatyar and Lindar remained suspicious, or simply refused to depart from their own lands, and spread gradually throughout the wide lands of Middle-earth. They were after known by the name Avari, meaning 'the Unwilling', because they refused the summons, in Quenya, the language of the Eldar that eventually reached Valinor.

Reporters get look inside Vienna prison
VIENNA, Ill. -- An Illinois prison that had been slammed by a watchdog as overcrowded and squalid was opened to reporters Friday, and the warden said he was confident that previous shortcomings, which he didn't entirely discount, have been fixed.
The two-hour tour of the minimum-security Vienna Correctional Center in deep southern Illinois comes just weeks after Gov. Pat Quinn's office relented on a decision to block journalists from touring the state's prisons. The visit was tightly controlled: The state's top prison chief barred cameras of any kind during the walk-through, insisting that allowing them would be a security issue.
"Quite honestly, some of these people (inmates) don't want to be on camera," Tony Godinez, the Illinois Department of Corrections director, told about a dozen reporters before the tour.
Giving the media access to the lockup with 1,670 inmates -- about 700 more than Godinez says it was designed to handle -- was months in the making, and happened more than a year after the nonprofit John Howard Association issued a report about flooding, vermin, inoperable toilets, mold and more. The group called living conditions at Vienna "deplorable," following years of complaints about overcrowding and understaffing at the prison.
Chicago's WBEZ Radio and other media outlets had pressed for months for a tour, but the administration refused to let them in. In August, Quinn publicly declared that "prisons aren't country clubs. They're not there to be visited and looked at," drawing Republican Treasurer Dan Rutherford's rebuke that the approach was "uncalled for and out of touch."
On Friday, Godinez insisted "we are a transparent agency" that did the best it could to accommodate reporters while focusing on weighty budget constraints.
"I regret we didn't represent ourselves better than we did in the past," Godinez said when peppered by reporters about the administration's position about media accessibility and prison security. He said reporters have never been impeded visiting prisons to interview specific inmates, though arranging tours can be a trickier matter.
"It makes sense journalists would want to see this," John Maki, executive director of the Chicago-based John Howard Association, told The Associated Press by telephone before the tour. "I think it's in the governor's interest, the public's interest to fully understand what life is like in our prison system.
"Vienna is one of the most-profound examples of overcrowding and captures what this is all about."
Exuding pride about the lockup he began overseeing a year ago, warden Randy Davis admitted the 47-year-old lockup has its issues.
"We've got good, solid old bones. But do we need cosmetics? Yeah," he said of the prison building after the tour. He said the tour only excluded the lockup's segregation unit and, for expedience, other housing units, where some windows are covered by plastic.
When questioned whether workers scrambled to glam up the prison to impress reporters, Davis didn't deny it.
"You put your best foot forward," he said.
The complex resembled a community college campus, albeit circled by razor wire. Davis led reporters through the prison's vocational training area where inmates learn auto mechanics, body work, barbering and cosmetology. The tour also passed through the chapel, the dining area and recreation yard, where inmates in T-shirts played basketball, lifted weights or tossed beanbags.
But most of the reporters' attention was saved for Building 19, the 500-inmate dormitory where the John Howard group last year reported finding rodent droppings, told of inmates complaining about mice and cockroaches and said windows on two floors were broken and birds had built nests inside. Maki later called the dorm "one of the most depressing things I've ever seen."
On Friday, that building's living areas resembled military barracks, each with rows of bunk beds four feet apart. Some inmates gathered in front of a glassed-in television set mounted on the wall, while others napped.
None of the issues cited by the John Howard group were readily apparent, though the warden said mice and other pests can be a constant struggle anytime so many people are gathered in one spot, often with food.
"You're gonna have it anywhere you go," Davis said. "Something we're really trying to do a better job with is sanitation in general."
An inmate who's called Building 19 home since his September arrival told reporters he has seen nothing alarming, other than the two cockroaches and a mouse he's spotted "even though they mop, sweep and clean every day."
"It's not a big issue," said Marcus Johnson, a 37-year-old from Decatur who is serving a two-year sentence for drug possession -- his fourth drug-related stint. "It's overcrowded, and living with 104 inmates at a time is kind of hard. But it's something you've got to deal with."

We came across this photo, which is obviously that of a proclamation being presented by former Queens Borough President Donald Manes to a member of the clergy and a member of one of the city's service organizations, but we're not sure who or which one. Anyone out there have any clues about this undated photo for us? If so, email us at email@example.com.
A little background…
Manes served as borough president of Queens from 1971 to 1986, and if you don't know his story it's a pretty fascinating fall from grace.
Elected at age 37, the Brooklyn-born Manes was the youngest borough president in Queens history. He redefined the post, turning it from a largely ceremonial position into a fiercely political one, albeit with the aide of kickbacks and the financial pressure the office could wield thanks to a generous budget.
All the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing finally caught up with Manes when he was implicated in an elaborate scheme to grant a lucrative cable contract in the borough to a company from outside Queens.
Once the feds started investigating the deal, Manes became despondent, and was found in his car on Queens Boulevard with his wrists slit. He originally told officers he had been carjacked, but later admitted he tried to commit suicide.
A few months later, on March 13, 1986, while on the phone with his psychiatrist, Manes plunged a knife into his chest and died.
His story is a fascinating one reflecting the toll that a life in politics – particularly when you flirt with what is legal and what is not - can take on a person. If you don't feel like reading about it yourself, just track down the pilot episode of Law & Order, which was loosely based on Manes' life.
But this photo was obviously a record of the more ceremonial responsibilities that come with the job of borough president. If you think you can help us fill in the details, get in touch.

Relatives of a slain 12-year-old girl from southern New Jersey said Thursday they want to avoid jeopardizing the criminal case and will not comment on the revelation that three days before she disappeared, she may have exchanged online messages with one of the teenagers accused of killing her.
Relatives of a slain 12-year-old girl from southern New Jersey said Thursday they want to avoid jeopardizing the criminal case and will not comment on the revelation that three days before she disappeared, she may have exchanged online messages with one of the teenagers accused of killing her.
"We want swift justice for Autumn," said Paul Spadofora, a great uncle and godfather of Autumn Pasquale, whose body was found in a recycling bin Monday near the teenagers' home. "We don't want to jeopardize the case."
Two brothers, 15 and 17, were charged with murder and other crimes against the girl, who would have turned 13 on Oct. 29. Authorities say the younger boy lured her to their home by promising to trade bicycle parts.
Both teens are due in court Friday for a hearing on whether they should remain in a juvenile detention facility.
A Facebook account that appears to belong to Justin Robinson had a picture posted in August of a BMX bike. On Oct. 17, a post apparently from Autumn asked: "Is tht ur bike?"
The two exchanged a volley of messages in abbreviated language. He answered, "yeuop." She proclaimed, "Thts sexy!" He responded, "lol thx" and later added: "yess cme 2 my house."
The exchange is no longer available on Facebook, but someone took a screenshot and saved it to the photo-sharing site ImageShack.
Autumn disappeared Saturday, three days after the exchange.
The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office would not comment on the postings.
Authorities said Anita Saunders, the mother of the two suspects, called police because she was concerned about something one of her son's posted on Facebook. But police have not disclosed exactly what the posting said.
Gloucester County Prosecutor Sean Dalton said the mother's tip led investigators to the recycling bin behind a vacant home next to hers where Autumn's body was found — and to her sons.
Authorities have not released the names of the teens because they are charged as juveniles, though prosecutors say they are likely to seek to have the case moved to adult court.
Neighbors and other community members identify the boys as 17-year-old Dante Robinson and 15-year-old Justin Robinson. The boys' father and maternal grandfather both declined to speak about the boys on Thursday, but did not deny their names. Their names have been widely reported in the media.
Since the boys were arrested on Tuesday, the girl's family has criticized authorities for not having a more intense search sooner after she was reported missing — and asked the state Attorney General's Office to investigate the response.
Dalton defended his office's response, saying officials "poured their hearts and souls" into the case. Up to 200 law enforcement officials and hundreds more volunteers joined the search.

These simple planter attachments are making it possible for more and more farmers to plant into higher levels of residue. Millions of acres are now planted this way each year and many of our customers are repeat buyers. Higher levels of mulch mean less erosion and more consistent and lower cost yields, all while the soil is rebuilding itself in preparation for supplying cheap food for generations to come.
I really like the ability to index nutrients relative to seed row and get those nutrients in the root zone instead of on top of the soil. The Martin UMO Fertilizer Opener allows me to do this without fertilizer splash all over the planter.

We've been using Martin Row Cleaners, Closing Wheels and Drag Chains since 1991 and the Martin-Till Planting System has changed the way we no-till. We recommend this system to anyone thinking of no-till planting.

After seeing the difference in our Martin Floating Row Cleaners, I'll never go back to a fixed style. You never have to worry about pushing too much dirt. It always leaves your row nice and clean.

The Martin Floating Row Cleaners have been one of the best purchases I've ever made for my planter. I would be lost without them. Since we no-till we have a lot of residue to contend with and the Martin Floating Row Cleaner is the best in the business.

Alan Alda, Victor Garber and Alfred Molina, three of our theater's greatest actors, made up the cast of the original Broadway production of French playwright Yazmina Reza's brilliant 85-minute one-act "Art." When I saw the production the day after it opened in 1998, I thought no future production would ever match it. How mistaken I was.
Local A-list actors Tony Braithwaite, Ian Merrill Peakes and Pete Pryor form the flawless ensemble that director Bud Martin has assembled at Ambler's Act II Playhouse, where "Art" will be through June 12.
Marc (Braithwaite), Serge (Peakes) and Ivan (Prior) have been friends for years. Their relationship has survived marriages, children, divorces, job changes, just about everything that normally gets in the way of friendship.
That friendship may not, however, survive Serge's purchase of a 200,000-Franc ($40,000) painting that is all white, with white textured diagonal stripes. Their conversations about the piece, about whether or not it is art, and about what it means in the grander scheme of their friendship are the substance of Reza's play, compellingly translated by Christopher Hampton.
When Serge, a divorced dermatologist, spends all that money on the painting, Marc, an acerbic aeronautical engineer, bursts into laughter and calls the piece "white shit." Serge is angry and hurt and lashes back with the "What do you know about it?" defense. The game is on.
Both Marc and Serge seek the ear of Yvan, their recently engaged and somewhat insecure friend who at first agrees with Marc and then, upon seeing the painting, isn't so sure. The ensuing conversation is about what constitutes art and what truth individuals bring to their own reactions to a work that might or might not be art. Beneath the surface is the issue: why is it so important that Serge's friends approve of his purchase, and why is Marc so brutally blunt?
The conversations they have are full of humor (some of it unintentional) and feeling. They want their easy, comfortable friendships to survive, no matter what. That is not to be.
If you don't think a discussion of a painting's merits could lead to discussions about more important things, reflect on the last time you and a significant person in your life disagreed about the movie you just saw. A snarl, a cold shoulder, a "not tonight, dear, I have a headache" can and often does ensue.
Opinions are fragile things; ask the reviewer or the reviewee of your choice if you don't believe me.
Dirk Durossette designed the appropriately spare set. James Leitner's subtle lighting, Wade Laboissinniere's costumes and David O'Connors' sound played a large part in the production's success.
"Art" reminds us just how important art can be, and how close to the core of our beings our views are. It is a brilliant play stunningly performed.
For tickets to "Art," playing at Ambler's Act II Playhouse through June 12, call 215-654-0200 or visit www.act2.org.

Throughout the 19th century, children were given rewards of merit for high achievement or good behavior in school. These were commercial products that ranged from the very simple to the large and colorful. The example here was printed by a New York engraver, Benjamin Stradley, who issued similar rewards from around 1870 until sometime after 1878. The reward here is patterned after bank notes of the day and used their printing techniques. Stradley printed a number of other "stock certificates" from the fictional "National Bank of Merit," in various denominations. This particular form of reward came at a time when the New York stock market was growing in size and influence. Periodic panics and crashes in the 1880s, though, would later reduce its credibility. Flagg was awarded four shares in the "National Bank of Merit" by her teacher, M.L. Davenport, in the 1870s.

Netherlands - Indian Trade & Partnership Conference 2013
Cedar Events Ltd
Wednesday, September 18, 2013 at 9:00 AM - Saturday, September 21, 2013 at 4:00 PM (CEST)
Event Details
The Netherland - Indian Trade and Partnership Conference 2013 is an initiative of Cedar Event Ltd, solely to promote trade and partnership relationship between The Netherlands and India.
With more than 400 years of trade between both countries, and still going strong, both countries have benefitted from the mutual trade relationship among each other. According to recent report (http://www.newkerala.com/topstory-fullnews-90755.html ), New Delhi, Feb 10: Union Minister of Commerce and Industry of India have stated that the bilateral trade between India and Netherlands has increased from US 3.9 billion dollars in 2006-07 to US 7.2 billion dollars in 2007-08, with continuous annual increase in bilateral trade with more than 10%. This trade will only see constant growth as the world population and consumption continue to increase, and the world economy turning to Asia. The expected growth by 2013 is US 12 billion dollars. This conference is poised towards re-enforcing this trade relationship.
An indirect but very telling indication of the growing Dutch business interest in India, both as the largest market after China and as an investment destination of choice, comes from the steadily increasing number of Dutch university students who are visiting India for 3-4 months at a time to carry out market surveys on behalf of Dutch firms. Just in the latter half of this year, three such groups, of around 20 each, have gone on such missions, one sponsored by the University of Amsterdam and Amsterdam Free University, one by the University of Tilburg, and another by the University of Groningen.
The conference will serve as a platform where business people will meet each other also it will focus on match making and business development. The following sectors will be of main focus;
Chemical, Telecom, Furniture, Textile, Healthcare, Information Technology, Agriculture & Livestock, Electronics, Machinery, Transportation, Banking (for candidates interested in loan and financial instrument), Life science, Water, Miscellaneous. These are the areas that we have interested partners that have registered. Note, because matchmaking and business development is important to this conference, we have decided not to limit attendance to any particular sector. There are also sections for individuals and free lancers who are looking for companies they will represent.

Msgr. Gregory Schlesselmann, rector of Cardinal Muench Seminary in Fargo, N.D., was able to get an aerial view of the Red River in the small plane flown by a North Dakota priest last weekend.
The pictures taken during the plane ride are definitely worth a look, especially the interactive photo at the end which illustrates the normal river flow, the location of the dikes and the river overflow. The priest told CNS the pictures — without the markups — are somewhat misleading because they seem to show more snow than water, but he noted that underneath much of that layer of snow is in fact water.

Inside History's Facebook page. All I had to do was tell them about the best e-resource at the State Library. What did I win? A lifetime subscription to the iPad version of Inside History magazine.
Here is my simple answer.
An e-resource is an electronic resource which could include databases, books, journals and newspapers in an electronic format. The NSW State Library has many of these available for those unable to visit in person.
The best e-resource at the NSW State Library is always the one that I am currently using. So at the moment the best e-resource is the 19th century British Newspaper collection.
I should also mention that previously I have won a copy of In Her Own Words - The Writings of Elizabeth Macquarie. To win that I wrote about my favourite woman in my family research.
So if you want to win one of their regular prizes, log onto Facebook, like Inside History and look for their competitions. Read the others posts too, as they are interesting and subscribe to their fantastic magazine.
Off now to check out the iPad version as I've just finished downloading it.
Thanks Cassie at Inside History. Hope I can win more than two prizes in a lifetime!

The Beginning
Gilgamesh is considered the first masterpiece of World Literature; in fact it is the earliest known epic narrative we have. At first it may seem intimidating to try to bridge the gap between the twenty-first century and 2800 BCE. After all, we don't know know what the original readers in ancient Sumeria knew—their legends, their daily lives, what their kings were like, and what their heroes and legends meant to them.
But we do share a key characteristic with them and with readers from any era: we love a gripping story and The Epic of Gilgamesh is just that. Adventure, the quest for immortality, the getting of wisdom, and more than a few life or death battles. Gilgamesh has all of this and more, including reflections on what it means to be alive, in 2800 BCE, no less than in our own time.
Benjamin Foster,
Assyriologist, Yale University:
"I think what fascinated me about the story most was, how is it that this one ancient text, of all the other thousands of ancient texts that we have, exercises such a hold over the modern imagination."

Police standoff with armed man ends peacefully in Waterford
Waterford — An hours-long standoff with an armed man who had barricaded himself inside his Ferri Drive mobile home and allegedly threatened to "shoot the first cop I see" ended Saturday night with the man in police custody.
"I'm pleased to say that it's stabilized and the individual's in custody," said Waterford police Chief Murray J. Pendleton.
No one was injured, and members of the Connecticut State Police Emergency Services Unit were able to persuade the man to leave the house, said Waterford police Lt. Brett Mahoney. The man, whom police did not identify Saturday, was taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital. He has not yet been charged, Mahoney said.
The armed standoff began at 3:21 p.m. in the mobile home park off Woodland Grove Road near Boston Post Road (Route 1) and ended shortly after 9 p.m. Waterford police evacuated nearby residents from their homes and unsuccessfully attempted to make contact with the man before they called state police for assistance, Mahoney said in a press release.
The standoff was the second such incident in the region this month. Norwich police Officer Jonathan Ley was shot numerous times on Jan. 7 during an armed standoff with a "despondent, suicidal" man at the Cedar Glen Apartments on Cedar Street in Norwich.
Ley, 38, is recovering from his injuries. The despondent man, 30-year-old Jason Razzino, committed suicide.
Saturday, Theresia Hickey, who lives on Ferri Drive, said she was reading the newspaper when she saw a police cruiser from her window. An officer told her she had to leave her home and sent residents to the Waterford Community Center, the site of a temporary shelter for displaced people.
State police negotiated with the man, whom they called John, using a bullhorn.
"This is the state police," they called out. "We're not going to go away, John. I need you to come out. Please come outside."
Police also used a device to periodically emit a high-pitched screeching noise.
Neighbor Beverly Rose said the man is quiet but friendly. He is in his 50s, she said.
"I'd say, 'Hi John,' and he'd say 'Hi, Bev,' and that was it," she said.
Rose said she has lived in her home for 20 years, and that John has lived there for longer. He recently put up for-sale signs at his property, she said.
A large contingent of news reporters, displaced residents and curious onlookers gathered Saturday evening at the nearby Rite Aid pharmacy parking lot on Route 1.
The Jordan and Oswegatchie fire departments and the L+M paramedics also assisted police during the standoff, Mahoney said.
The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Waterford police at (860) 442-9451 or at email@example.com. All calls and emails will be kept confidential. Reference Case No. 2013-00131.

Nonetheless, his performance truly degraded once EPO got a foothold, and he seemingly missed that train and subsequently retired, as the sport boosted past. That era slammed shut like a collapsed vein..."
Writing here, my intent isn't to put words into the mouth of Greg LeMond, so to speak, but rather, to share my understanding of LeMond's knowledge of what was going on around him at various points in my career, based on quotes attributed to him in print and from our own discussions...these are personal opinions and beliefs - not absolute truth.
That said, I believe that LeMond's awareness of doping is far more nuanced than that of a "simple kid from Nevada." Perhaps at the beginning of his career he had limited knowledge of the full menu of PED's in-use at the time, but in the final years he was certainly aware of what was being done. In fact, it formed the basis for his decision to retire - the realization that, regardless of the degree to which he thought his own condition was hampered by effects of the hunting accident (something he'd give less emphasis to a decade after leaving the sport), there was undoubtedly sophisticated, dangerous doping going on all-around him, and it allowed previously anonymous riders - like Chiappucci - to become pseudo-thoroughbreds.
I don't think I'm breaking any confidence in saying that in the present day, LeMond exhibits a clear retrospective understanding of what was happening around him during the 91-94 years.
For the record, I think Armstrong was an equally gifted and driven rider - though one of different (one-day) qualities. Just as he was a teenage triathlete phenom, beating the best pros of the era when he was just a punk from Texas, LeMond was a miracle of nature crafted by some higher power to be the best natural stage racer of the times. I don't have a copy of LeMond's "Complete Book of Bicycling" or I'd be able to quote the incident exactly, but as a teenager sick with the flu or something, I believe he was the equal of the US's best elite rider of the time, John Howard.
Men's Journal, "In a tough race up Mount Tamalpais, outside San Francisco, 15-year-old Greg placed second only to the great George Mount, who'd finished sixth a few months earlier in the 1976 Olympics."
The rider you are when you're 19 or 20, is the rider you'll be when you're 28, 29, 30...thus, someone destined to win the Tour at the peak of their career will be competitive in - or at least show his aptitude for - that event and ones like it, from earliest days. So, again, we see LeMond win the Dauphine in '83, then third in the Tour in '84, second in '85, and finally first in '86 (aged 25). Likewise, Fignon, born in 1960, wins the Tour in 1983 and '84, and took 7th in '87, the next year he'd finished the race.
Phil Anderson (himself no slouch as a pro - 5th in the '82 Tour at age 24 and 5th again in '85), is on record saying, "He was a one-day rider. I thought he could never, ever, win the Tour de France. Even he wouldn't have thought he could have won the Tour. He couldn't climb and he couldn't time trial, two things you have to do to win the Tour."
It's not like it takes rocket science to figure out who is going to be good at the world's toughest multi-day bike race...contenders can spot future competitors and threats based on their own experiences and observations.
Bjarne Riis being the dominant Tour rider in '96 after having been completely ordinary in '89 and '91, when he was 95th and 107th overall, respectively? Oh snap! On May 25, 2007, Riis issued a press release stating that he had made "mistakes" in the past, upon which he elaborated in a press conference, where he confessed to taking EPO, growth hormone and cortisone for five years, from 1993 to 1998, including during his victory in the 1996 Tour de France. Without EPO, Bjarne = capable professional but anonymous GT rider, barely cracking the top-100 in the Tour in '89 while LeMond was plying his trade as the greatest GT rider of the modern era, and a meager 107th in '91 - as Greg still delivered a top-10 overall (7th). Ahhh, but with EPO, the Great Dane finished 5th in 1993, 14th in 1994, and 3rd in 1995, before being 'Champion' in 1996.
In an EPO/blood-transfusion-free-world, you're born capable of winning the Tour, or you're not. L.A. was not. But he was born to be a great pro. Just not a GT contender. Maybe his ego couldn't suffer knowing that he would never match LeMond in the "World's Most Important Bike Race." Who knows. Who cares? While Roche and Delgado both doped, neither needed the kind of program followed by riders like Riis, and probably also by Pantani, Armstrong, and even Indurain - riders who were not naturally capable of winning GT's, but who, with the right medical program, could realize an extra 5-10% of sustainable power output that was enough to give a margin of victory over a three-week race (augmented by the decreased recovery periods supposedly seen in EPO-boosted athletes).
What's that? Am I saying that I believe it highly likely that Indurain doped? Yes, I believe he most likely did, though that is merely my opinion and I have no direct knowledge of any illicit activities on the part of the man from Pamplona. But, his Tour pedigree is as suspicious as Riis's, and its elevation dovetails with the introduction of EPO into the European peloton:
Banesto's own Thomas Davy testified under oath that during his tenure with the squad (1995-6), there was an organized doping program that included EPO. "In Banesto," he said, "There was a system of doping with medical supervision." Clearly that is not a charge or accusation against Indurain, but it's hard-to-ignore circumstantial evidence.
Jan Ullrich, confirmed as a client of Operation Puerto's Dr. Fuentes through the DNA matching of nine bags of stored blood, may have been a LeMond-like natural talent, but he had the misfortune (from the perspective of one who might value the opportunity to compete, and win, in professional cycling without having to manipulate one's own blood) to enter the pro ranks at the height of the EPO epidemic, and to debut in the Tour in 1996 at the side of an incredibly-successful doper, while later having to compete against the most successful doping cyclist of all-time: L.A.
[Funny aside: I didn't know that The Onion weighed-in on Ullrich's trust issues with blood.]
At 1993, at age 19, Ullrich won the World Championship as an amateur (you should watch the finish here - I'd never seen the footage before, either...probably the best quote by a commentator that I've ever heard: "He's got a teammate up in front so why the hell should he work at all?!" - regarding a Latvian in the break with Ullrich and several others).
Jan was 3rd in the time trial at World's in '94 behind Chris Boardman and the thoroughly anonymous Andrea Chiurato of Italy.
In 1995, while still only a 21 year-old, Ullrich became the elite German national time trial champion. That's elite, not U23...
From 1996 onward, well, it's all history (and innuendo, accusation, claim, counter-claim, denial, blah blah blah...)
LeMond = clean, dope-free, natural talent and class
L.A. = naturally talented professional cyclist and apparent sociopath, so motivated to win the Tour de France and enshrine himself in the pantheon of cycling greats at the expense of his competitors - and compatriots - that he purportedly threatened to generate false accusations of EPO-use against Greg LeMond in order to stanch his criticism of the Texan's association with Dr. Michele Ferrari - accused by Filippo Simeoni of managing his doping program.
I'll give L.A. credit for protecting himself by linking the fortunes of so many individuals and organizations to his own fate, thereby creating a determined network of defenders. I think it

BOULDER, Colo.—When an Ebola virus outbreak occurred in West Africa last month, officials for Broomfield-based Corgenix Medical Corp. scrambled and raided their local laboratory coolers to assemble a potential line of defense: prototype tests developed to detect the deadly virus in a matter of minutes.
At least 70 people have reportedly died in south Guinea since the outbreak started two weeks ago.
Amid heightened concerns that the deadly virus may spread and affect people in neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone—where scientists are researching and conducting tests for Corgenix and the global Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium—Corgenix shipped the entire stock of its prototype tests to Africa.
"We have to set up sort of a front line of defense in Sierra Leone," said Corgenix president and CEO Douglass Simpson. "We also are getting a lot of interesting requests (from other research teams and agencies) screaming for the product. Everyone over there is literally scared to death.
"It just spreads like wildfire and then it goes quiet."
Ebola outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 90 percent, according to the World Health Organization. The virus is fast-spreading and can kill an infected person in a matter of days or weeks.
There is no vaccine or specific treatment for Ebola. Some potential therapies are being evaluated.
Corgenix, founded in 1990, develops diagnostic products that range from tests to determine aspirin's effectiveness in individual humans to assays that can rapidly detect viral hemorrhagic fever.
Sitting on the sidelines of that cache of 50-plus products was the Ebola test, which resulted from a 2010-2012 research program conducted with the Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium and funded with nearly $600,000 from the National Institutes of Health.
The Ebola assay has identified potential indications of Ebola virus in 15 minutes after an initial screen and confirmed the diagnosis in an "hour and change," Simpson said.
That test, however, has not been cleared or approved for diagnostic use by any worldwide agency.
"We couldn't get any more funding for it," Simpson said. "The funding ran out, but we actually developed programs that worked."
Since the National Institutes of Health study concluded, work related to the Ebola assay have been relegated to limited laboratory testing at Corgenix's facility in Broomfield and in consortium partner facilities such as the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif., and the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. The tests do not involve any live samples of the virus.
Corgenix needed additional funding to conduct tests in the field, but the company's follow-up proposal for an additional research grant was not approved, he said. A reason for the denial was not provided, but Simpson said he knows there are limitations in research funding and that there are needs to address more immediate and endemic diseases and viruses.
Current testing procedures for Ebola involve sending blood samples to a laboratory in France, where "the highest level of testing possible" occurs, Simpson said.
Simpson estimated that it would take about $1 million and two to three years to bring the Ebola product to where Corgenix's Lassa fever test is now.
ReLASV last year received CE Mark approval, which allows for the product's sale and diagnostic use in the European Union and other international markets.

This necklace is designed with three strands each braided a little different. In the center is a seabean that was found washed up on the Florida beach that had made its' way from the Bahama's. It was polished and attached to the strands with a decorative 18K gold clasp.
Her hair was the color of chestnuts. She kept it long and wore it braided and wrapped over her head. It belonged to my great grandmother, Elsie Lovina Eldrige Sterling and this necklace was made from her hair. I called her gram and I loved her dearly. She passed away when I was a senior in high school.

There were no surprises in Chestnnut Hill voting patterns.
Chestnut Hill's 9th Ward, which includes a slice of Mt. Airy, followed trends city and state wide, supporting Democratic candidates for office by a large margin.
There were 8,861 votes cast for President in the ward, and Barack Obama got 7,511 or 84.76 percent of them, which was in line with city-wide results. The president's challenger, Mitt Romney, earned 1,266 or 14.29 percent of the votes. The rest went to third party candidates.
Ninth ward voters also supported Democratic Senator Bob Casey (7503 votes), Kathleen Kane (7407 votes), Auditor General Eugene DePasquale (6833 votes) and State Treasurer Rob McCord (7162).
In more local races, Congressman Chaka Fattah collected 7,012 votes (81 percent), easily outpacing rivals Robert Mansfield Jr (1,264 votes) and Jim Foster (364 votes). State Representatives Rosita Youngblood and Cherelle Parker were not challenged.

NAMPA, Idaho-Amalgamated Sugar Co. may use much of the nutrient-rich wastewater from refining sugar at its Nampa plant to irrigate crops rather than continuing to have it all treated by the city.
Company officials said the move would allow them flexibility to adjust to future rate hikes by the Nampa wastewater treatment plant.
Amalgamated land applied its wastewater on farm fields located at the plant before reaching an agreement with the city in 1996. Nonetheless, the company maintained its reuse permit to irrigate crops with its wastewater and has applied with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality to renew the permit for another five years.
DEQ will take public comment on the permit renewal through Dec. 26. Comments may be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com. According to DEQ, Amalgamated will have to specify how it will address certain environmental concerns, including its methods to prevent contamination of surface and ground water. Furthermore, DEQ said the draft permit imposes buffer zones, loading rate limits and monitoring requirements.
Dean DeLorey, Amalgamated's director of environmental affairs, said more than half of the plant's wastewater would be land applied over farm land owned by Amalgamated and leased to growers for alfalfa. The water-distilled from juice when beets are dried for sugar-contains some ammonia and has fertilizer value. The deep roots of alfalfa plants help prevent any leaching into waterways, DeLorey said. The crops would still require supplemental irrigation water, he said.
DeLorey said the main challenge of land application is that Amalgamated processes beets from Oct. 1 through mid-February, when there's no alfalfa growing to utilize the nutrients. Amalgamated may need to build a lined storage pond to hold the liquid until it can be used in the spring and summer.
"We're still in the initial planning stages to try to make this all work to land apply the water," DeLorey said.
Nampa public works officials said their treatment rates are increasing because of new Environmental Protection Agency requirements that they begin removing phosphorus from wastewater. The city will invest $28 million in new infrastructure in its first phase of upgrades to meet the new mandate.
Nampa officials said high-volume industrial customers, such as Amalgamated, pay individual rates based on the specific details of their waste streams.
DeLorey said if Amalgamated does nothing to reduce its treatment volume, its costs will double within the next five years.

Important Information
All sales on house plans and customization/modifications are final. No refunds or exchanges can be given once your order has started the fulfillment process.
All house plans from Houseplans are designed to conform to the local codes when and where the original house was constructed.
In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.
In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren't sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.
Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.

You have a unique medical history. Therefore, it is essential to talk with your doctor about your personal risk factors and/or experience with leukemia. By talking openly and regularly with your doctor, you can take an active role in your care.
Here are some tips that will make it easier for you to talk to your healthcare provider:
- Bring someone else with you. It helps to have another person hear what is said and think of questions to ask.
- Write your questions ahead of time, so you don't forget them.
- Write down the answers you get, and make sure you understand what you are hearing. Ask for clarification, if necessary.
- Don't be afraid to ask questions or ask where you can find more information about what you are discussing. You have a right to know.
- What type of leukemia do I have?
- Do you know why I got leukemia? Might other members of my family be at risk for developing it?
- Based on my medical history, lifestyle, and family background, am I at risk for leukemia?
- Is there anything I can do to reduce my risk?
What is the best treatment option for my leukemia?
- What other options are there?
- What are the risks and benefits associated with this treatment plan?
- How long will the treatment last?
- What side effects can I expect?
- What will I need to change in my daily routine?
- How will I feel during treatment? What can I do to help myself feel better during treatment? What can the doctor do to minimize the side effects I might experience?
- What will I need to do to take care of myself during the treatment period?
- What will we do if the treatment does not succeed?
- How do I best protect myself from infections?
- Will I need to change my diet or other daily habits?
- Can I exercise? If so, how much can I exercise?
- Will treatment lead to a cure?
- How do I know that my treatment program is effective?
- How will I know if the leukemia has come back and what will we do if it does?
- Will treatment affect my ability to have children in the future?
- Should I consider participating in a clinical trial? If one is appropriate for me, what is the cost relative to the cost of conventional treatment?
- Do you know of a support group I could join?

Back in December I ordered Santa Claus to come in form of fiber, and bring some Candy Cane's too! :o)
fiber: Finn, colorway Santa and Candy Cane, 4oz each by SockPixie (I really don't like giving you this link, because if I could I would buy ALL her colorways myself) She's got not only fiber, but yarn as well. You should visit her blog to read up on all the wonderful colorways you've missed. I like her inspired way of dyeing yarn and now fiber too.
yarn: big skein - 4-ply, 163yds, little skein - 87yds navajo plied; I like how both of them look.
I haven't done the WPI thing, don't want to undo the skeins, but the 4-ply is either heavy worsted, or chunky weight, and the navajo plied skein is worsted weight yarn.

The La Crescenta Woman's Club Junior Section just held one of the earlier Breakfasts with Santa in the holiday season. On Saturday (Dec. 8), the clubhouse was jumpin' with a holiday buffet, live music, door prizes, opportunity prizes and gifts and crafts for each child to make. All of this was available for $10 per person.
This annual event is looked forward to by moms who don't have their Christmas card photos ready. Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus were at the ready to remedy the situation. They posed for photos with children who were convinced Santa would bring their favorite gift. Scott Mangum and friend Crystal Krater, as Santa and Mrs. Claus, live in Fullerton. Dozens of community children took advantage of Mangum's ample lap to whisper their gift lists into his ear. La Crescenta resident Giovanni Coe, 5, had a long list for Santa. Coe's mother and Junior Section member Bre Coe checked in each child who wanted time with Santa.
Coordinating the breakfast, crafts and Santa was Junior section member Ruth Warner. Santa's helper was Vickie Guagliardo. Also helping out from the big-girl section were President Carol Huntwork and press and publicity relations maven Gloria Lee. Mrs. Claus' sister, Misty Krater from Tujunga, was ready to fill in for Crystal if the children became too rambunctious. Not necessary. Santa was watching and checking his list.
Another holiday tradition that Glendalians look forward to is Hoover High School's annual Tour of Homes. This year marks its 55th year. In 1957 the PTA created the tour as Hoover's primary fundraiser supporting students. On Saturday (Dec. 8), this year's inaugural Honorary Tour Chairman was Dr. Jennifer Earl, busy behind the scenes. Current Hoover High School PTA President Michael Risner was on hand front and center to welcome visitors.
Four elaborately decorated homes were visited by hundreds of community members and Hoover High supporters. One of the favorites was the 748 Glenview Road home owned by Paul and Amy Iannicelli. The 2,700-square-foot home is an example of Classic Spanish Revival architecture. It was built in 1927 and features three bedrooms, three baths and a library. The formal dining room showed off a table currently set with the owners' Christmas Spode collection for the holidays. A new chandelier accents the Spanish architecture of the room. "House mom" Rocio Clarizio from Glendale oversaw the docents at the home.
The Iannicelli home also includes a motor court and adjacent garden with an arbor for entertaining. Taking advantage of the large motor court, PTA members set up their Christmas Boutique and Country Kitchen of homemade goodies. Free Starbucks coffee made the Kitchen that much more welcoming. Not giving in to the temptation of sweets and coffee was community volunteer Mary Rose Grim. She has been on each year's tour except one. "That was the year my father died," Grim said.
Boutique vendor was Glendale resident Marguerite Lincoln, owner of Encore Homes & Gifts, formerly of Kenneth Village. Happy customers were Glendale residents Laurel L. Anderson and daughter Laurie Anderson Friend. Lincoln will donate 25% of her sales to the Hoover PTA.
The three other homes on the tour are at 720 Kenneth Road, 1515 Merriman Drive and 1446 Royal Blvd.
Tour proceeds will provide thousands of dollars in scholarships to deserving youth volunteering in the community.
