"At last, a comprehensive study of Mipam, the Nyingma Lion, whose magisterial works bridged the scholastic and yogic traditions of Tibet. Beautifully written, Duckworth's book lucidly surveys Mipam's Buddhist philosophy and provides translated excerpts from Mipam's voluminous body of work that illustrate his erudite views. This is an exciting, accessible book we have been waiting for!" —Judith Simmer-Brown, Professor of Religious Studies, Naropa University, author of Dakini's Warm Breath
"Like the sun shining in the sky, the writings of our kind protector, Lama Mipam, sparkle with the light of wisdom. I congratulate my student, Prof. Douglas Duckworth, for publishing this important book on the life and works of the great scholar-practitioner, and I believe the book will be of interest, not only to students of Tibetan Buddhism, but to anyone with a sincere interest in discovering the depths of Buddhist insight." —Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche, author of Present Fresh Wakefulness: A Meditation Manual on Nonconceptual Wisdom
"Douglas Duckworth gives historical background to important Buddhist discussions in India and Tibet that concerned Mipam, a survey of the philosophical themes that he addressed and a selection of translations from his impressive array of writings. Though the translations are excerpts from longer works, they are valuable reading for practitioners. As a condensed anthology on Mipam, this book strikes an important balance, explaining the thought of one of Tibet's great intellectuals while giving readers handpicked gems from Mipam's forest of wisdom." —Buddhadharma

People of all ages were dancing in the street at Mt. Airy USA's "Street Fare: Sip, Savor, Stroll" (formerly Mt. Airy Night Market) held on Thursday, Sept. 19 from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. With more than 40 food trucks and restaurants, there was something for everyone. Foodies had an eclectic assortment to feast on – whether it was Samosa Deb's Indian samosas and kabobs or Relish's chick-'in'-waffles. There was no shortage of tantalizing treats. For those with a sweet tooth there was Street Box Cupcakes, Zsa's Gourmet Ice Cream, Mompop 's all natural popsicles and many more.
This year's event featured an outdoor simulcast of the Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs game and a new family activity zone. Kadillac Tattoo offered participants specially designed temporary tattoos. Participants could even design their own food jewelry.
There was no shortage of live music at this year's event. Fare goers were treated to the sounds of Grammy nominated Sharon Katz & The Peace Train, Lil Pookie & the Zydeco Sensations, Lisa Chavous and the Second Line, The GTV's and The Gin Canaries.
Elizabeth Moselle, Mt. Airy USA's director of commercial revitalization and business support, said this year's event attracted more than 10,000 people.
"Street Fare is not only a fabulous street festival, it's a celebration of the continued revitalization of Germantown Avenue," Moselle said.

I Posted the interview below in Facebook yesterday, but wanted to wait for a good English translation before posting here & in fact it has permitted me to tie two stories together!!
The first is that President Shimon Peres visited the Shalit residence at Mitzpe Hila in the Galilee last Monday Afternoon to meet with freed hostage Gilad Shalit and his parents, Aviva and Noam. The Shalits waited for Peres at the entrance to their home and shook hands with him heartily. President Peres then hugged Gilad and said, "You have no idea how excited I am to meet you here in your home, alive, healthy and whole." Peres praised Shalit for his ability to survive the harsh experience of captivity and isolation and told the Shalits that he is "glad that they were stubborn and did not let up for a moment." I personally believe it was in fact this elevation from the realms of Personal tragedy to National situation that enabled Gilad's freedom to be achieved, Baruch Ha'Shem!!!
And yesterday yet another story concerning Gilad Shalit arose .... Palestine Today reported that prominent Saudi Sheikh Awad al Qarni has offered a $100,000 reward to any "palestinian" who kidnaps another Israeli soldier. He apparently made the offer on a Facebook page that has some 700 fans so far. I searched but couldn't locate it. I did however find an English excerpt from a Saudi Newspaper in 2009 where this same "cleric" issued a Fatwa to attack all Israelis and Israeli interests anywhere in the world. The contrast in these two news snippets could not be more pronounced!!
Israel MUST now renege in it's 'deal' with the Arabs re the release of another 550 murderers ..... the conditions being broken now thus negating the further releases. The first list of 477 terrorists already freed for Shalit included dozens serving 924 life terms for murdering or organizing the murder of Jews. Enough is Enough is Enough!!!!
I read in Arutz Sheva last Sunday evening that Reserve Soldiers are requesting that if they are captured in future then NOT to redeem them with a prisoner exchange even at the cost of their own lives ~ They are Israeli soldiers and know the risks. But they do not want to be responsible for the senseless shedding of yet more Jewish blood by freeing terrorists on their behalf. Each one of them deserves a medal of Honour. The IDF is the Most Moral Army in the World & yet it is so Villified by that world.
"Love has its place, as does hate. Peace has its place, as does war. Mercy has its place, as do cruelty and revenge. Never, ever deal with terrorists. Hunt them down and, more important, mercilessly punish those states and groups that fund, arm, support, or simply allow their territories to be used by the terrorists with impunity. No trait is more justified than revenge in the right time and place."
~ Rabbi Meir Kahane Zt'l ~

Rethinking the "MSM" Category: Webinar on June 13
June 4, 2012
Rethinking the "MSM" Category
Join Us! Wednesday, June 13th 3:30pm to 5pm EDT
A well-known HIV prevention slogan goes, "its not who you are, but what you do...."
What's the role of sexual identity in HIV prevention? Since the late 1980s, "MSM" or "men that have sex with men," has been a category used to describe gay men and other men that might engage in sex with other men, but not identify as gay. The term has since raised questions on race, culture, community, the impact of the category upon public health prevention efforts, to how the "MSM" category reinforces stigmatization and social exclusion of gay and bisexual men.
We'll discuss & explore these questions and more in our June 13th webinar featuring a fantastic panel of experts:
Moderator: Charles Stephens, HIV PJA Steering Committee Member
Rethinking the "MSM" Category Webinar

There is a Companions quest that is east of Whiterun at that castle that has a bridge over the river.
Some quests happen inside castles or towers, technically these are interior locations, not dungeons, but they look the same.
It's the same shit all the time. And they said this game had a lot of things to do-wrong, it's the same format recycled over and over again it seems.
I now officially dislike The Elder Scrolls, I knew it had dungeons everywhere but gave it a shot anyways because of all the praise.

The Maximum Strategy needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 50 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Hi, I'm going to be launching a new blog that is going to be about sports and entertainment and need a great design for logo.
Deportes Y Espectaculos
There are two design options available for "Deportes Y Espectaculos" and you can choose either or both:
First Option
The logo could have a composition of words and two illustrations:
- First Word: "Deportes" which means Sports followed by the "Y" character which means "and"- Second Word: "Espectaculos" which means "Entertainment"- The ".com" element to indicate that it's about a website
- And two symbolic illustrations that portray both topics: Sports and Entertainment (in that order) Try being original and not falling into cliché. Try a modern approach.Note: the url of the blog will be http://www.deportesyespectaculos.com
Second Option
- The "D" and "E" characters and the url below: "www.deportesyespectaculos.com"
- Two iconic illustrations that express both topics: Sports and Entertainment (in that order)Choose both options or whichever option you feel more compelling, attractive and visually practical.
- There are no specifics for the color theme except that they have to go well with both concepts: Sports and Entertainment. I know the topics don't have anything in common so this will be a challenge for you.
- You will deliver final logo in vectors and provide with different sizes.
- All words will have capital letters
- Never forget harmony and balance
- No rainbows! 4 colors at most
- No spelling errors. Copy and paste text just to be sure
- Remember practicality. This logo will be printed in normal stationery too! not just the visually attractive world wide web.

What the ... ? Why did my paycheck shrink?
Washington - Many Americans just received their first paycheck of 2013. That sound you hear is the collective "What the ...?" they have emitted upon looking at their pay stub.
For all the self-congratulatory back-patting from the White House and Congress on the deal that averted the "fiscal cliff" of tax increases - the deal locked in the George W. Bush-era tax cuts for households making under $450,000 - they tended not to mention what the deal did, or rather didn't do, on the payroll tax. A 2 percentage point reduction in the Social Security tax, which hits all American workers, had been enacted at the end of 2010. In the fiscal cliff deal, Congress and President Obama neither extended it further nor agreed on any other policies that might have the similar effect of leaving more money in workers' pockets.
The numbers, for anybody who hasn't checked their paycheck yet (or won't get paid in 2013 until later in the month):
For someone who makes the U.S. average for private sector workers of $818.69 a week and is paid every other week, that adds up to a reduction of $32.75 in each paycheck. For higher earners, anyone making over $113,700 annually, each bi-weekly paycheck will decline by $87.46.
The increase in payroll taxes has gone from being an abstraction in Washington policy debates that politicians prefer not to talk about to being something very real.
The big question for the economy as 2013 gets underway is how America will react to their smaller paychecks. It is uncharted waters in many way: For most of the last two decades, taxes have been steadily falling. There is not much evidence for just how much Americans will pare back in response to tighter times and a higher tax burden.
One place to look for evidence is what happened when the payroll tax cut was implemented at the start of 2011. In the first six months of the year, personal consumption spending rose 2.2 percent, though that coincided with a spike in fuel prices tied to unrest in the Middle East, so when adjusted for inflation consumption spending rose only 0.6 percent. (In a way, it turned out to be lucky timing; in effect, the payroll tax break offset the economic drag that came from what turned out to be a temporary bump in oil prices.)
But the open question for the economy in 2013 is whether Americans adjust differently when their paychecks have a tax-induced decline than they did when they received a bump.
In terms of consumer psychology, behavioral economists speak of "loss aversion," a tendency of people to be much more bummed out when they think they have lost something that belonged to them than if they gain it. A child might be much more upset to have a cookie taken away from them than they are happy to be given a cookie.
It is possible that as Americans learn of their lower take-home pay - either from reading news accounts around the fiscal cliff deal last week, or from opening their first paycheck of the year - they will adjust their entire spending plans for the year, which could make January a rough month for retailers and the economy as a whole.

I remember years ago when my family got its very first microwave oven. It was the early 1970's and I will never forget the day when my mother attempted to make a meatloaf in it. First of all, she had never made meatloaf before and the cookbook that came with the microwave said that it could be done. She followed that recipe in the book and as a result my poor sister and I had to eat it for dinner. I honestly have to say that it was "technically" edible but it looked and tasted like a beat up hockey puck. After that experience, I swore that I would never ever eat meatloaf again… Not to mention, but that microwave cookbook deserved to be tossed.
Well, I am older, I am wiser and have learned to never say never. And, most importantly, I don't cook meatloaf in a microwave.
My recipe for Indonesian Buffalo Meatloaf is a twist on traditional meatloaf but prepared with buffalo (bison) meat and Indonesian soy sauce and spices. If you don't have access to ground buffalo, feel free to substitute a high quality low fat ground beef. This meatloaf is moist, flavorful and any leftovers make the BEST meatloaf sandwiches! Makes 6 servings. Enjoy! – Tessa
Meatloaf Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds ground buffalo
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1 c. panko crumbs
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 2 Tbls. Indonesian soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
- 1 Tbls. garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 tsp. salt
- 3 Tbls. tomato ketchup
- 1/4 tsp. ground mace
- 1 Tbls. low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp. canola oil
Round up your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Chop your onion and sauté in canola oil until translucent. Cool. Lightly mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Don't be afraid to use your hand to mix. Don't over mix it unless you like tough meatloaf. Shape into a loaf shape and put in a greased 9″ X 5″ baking pan. Now let's make the sauce.
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/2 c. tomato ketchup
- 1 1/2 Tbls. Indonesian Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbls. brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. ginger
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- Sambal Oelek if you are daring!
Mix together the above sauce ingredients and brush over the meatloaf. Place in oven uncovered and cook about an hour, reaching an internal temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove meatloaf from your oven and let it rest for about 10 – 12 minutes before you serve it. The meatloaf will continue to cook for a few more minutes after leaving the oven . It is important to let rest because it will slice easier and the juices will stay in the meat. Drizzle some Indonesian Soy Sauce over the meatloaf. Slice and serve. Got leftovers? See below…
Sandwich ingredients:
- Sliced meatloaf (chilled)
- fresh sliced tomato
- lettuce leaf or two
- clover sprouts
- leftover meatloaf sauce
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
If you can make a sandwich, you can make these. Assemble the sandwich with the above ingredients and slice in half. Put a pick in each sandwich half to help hold it together. Serve with bread and butter pickles.

30 Day Ride Out Guarantee With this Surfboard - Don't like it? swap it
Pukas Resin Cake Surfboard 6ft FCS II - Navy
Product Details
The Resin Cake has borrowed the pulled in, rounded pintail from the Sixtyniner, but has more width up front and a little more volume packed in. Without doubt the RC is aimed at the groveller market, but will work surprisingly well in larger, steeper waves thanks to the tail shape and the quad fin set-up. Running my hand over the board revealed a relatively deep double concave and a pronounced 'V' along the stringer in the back third. The Resin Cake has all the attributes of the modern day groveller, without the ridiculously obese volume and dims in some of it's peers. Paddle and catch waves super-early with the aid of the extra width under the chest, plant your back foot and feel the squirt out of the bottom turn compliments of the quad fins. Once up and riding the pulled in tail and bottom contours will accommodate rail-to-rail surfing and won't slip out should a steep section or even a little cover-up offer itself.
The Resin Cake is all about fun, its about catching as many waves as you can and busting the tail out in anything from knee high summer slop to head high walls. It doesn't matter if you're just ditching your foamy, a seasoned ripper, or an experienced older guy looking for a little help, the Resin Cake will serve you all.
Don't forget you can also order a customised version of this board choosing your exact dims, fin set up and fin system, check out our customizer service at Boardshop right now.

Verena (reviewed 04/01/2017)
Just wanted to say a HUGE Thank You! And a Happy New Year!
You guys are amazing, thanks for making this happen, for always being patient, available and unbelievably nice! I wouldn't want to buy my surfboards anywhere else and I'll recommend you whenever I can.
Also, the El Loco is great. Even for me (I am not the greatest paddler and sometimes out of position) it is easy to paddle, a lot of fun once I'm on the wave, superfast compared to my Resin Cake and it feels like it's got loads of potential for me to progress. Plus it's so beautiful (can't help it).

I've christened the Resin Cake today. Great board and I think we've nailed the size, thank you!
The board paddles like a dream and goes like the clappers, great wave count and no issues all the way up to head high today. It's also small enough to duck dive when a bigger set comes through.
I very much appreciate all the advice and working with me to get to the right board. I'd have no hesitation recommending you to anyone looking for a new board.
Thanks again,

|1871 Census Guelph Ontario Canada Joseph McGinnis & Family
Joseph McGinnis came to Ontario Canada from Ireland in 1847 with a wife (Fanny Downey) and a toddler (Bridget aka Delia). He was about 20 years old and a general labourer. After the 1871 census was taken in Guelph, Joseph disappeared. What happened to him?
There are two possibilities. Many of Joseph's family (either siblings or cousins, that relationship has not been worked out yet) left Guelph area after 1861 with their families. John and Daniel left after 1871 for Michigan. Constantine and Frank left shortly after 1861 - Francis for Ohio and Constantine for Michigan. Mary Jane left for Ohio after 1851 and Sarah left after 1864 for Iowa. It seems very possible that my Joseph could have left with John and Daniel, perhaps for the same area. Did he die there?
Joseph is not found in the 1880 U.S. census, nor in the 1881 Canadian census. So did he leave Ontario after that 1880 census was taken but before the 1881 Canadian? My Fanny is found in the 1881 census for Guelph as a widow but with another puzzle added. More on that later in this blog post!
However there is another possibility - and another "wrinkle" thrown in to add to the mystery. For there was another couple in the same location, around the same ages, also named Joseph and Fanny McGinnis. Or was there? In 1877 a Joseph McGinnis died in Guelph. For years descendants, including me, believed this was our Joseph. But a search by me of the Catholic church burial records revealed that *this* Joseph was married to a Fanny Foster, not Fanny Downey! The thought that perhaps my Fanny Downey had been married more than once occurred.
But in 1890 Fanny (Foster) McGinnis also died. Since Fanny (Downey) McGinnis was alive and kicking in 1891 and in fact did not die until 1904, the two women were not the same individual.
But what about Joseph? Could he have been married to both women? Is he in fact the Joseph who died in 1877? Is that why he disappeared after 1871 and no record of his death or his residence has been found?
There is no trace of Joseph and Fanny (Foster) McGinnis in any census records. There is one Fanny McGinnis, a widow in the 1881 Guelph census. A second Fanny appears in that 1881 census for Guelph, also listed as a widow and with her 15 year old son Joseph. Given the errors that creep into census records the age difference (Joseph should have been 17) isn't enough to say that this one isn't my Fanny. But certainly one of the women must be mine.
But because there is no trace of Joseph #2 (married to Fanny Foster) it leads to suspicion that indeed there may only be ONE Joseph McGinnis - married to two different women.
It is possible that my Joseph did indeed die in 1877 and that Fanny Downey left Ontario with her youngest children - perhaps to live with a sibling or other relative. Another intriguing fact is that Daniel McGinnis, who was either the brother or cousin of my Joseph McGinnis, and the man who moved to Michigan with his family after 1871, was married to a Margaret Downey. Was she my Fanny Downey's sister? Could my Fanny have left Ontario to live near her sister, then moved back to Ontario by 1881? Or did she never leave Guelph? There is not much to go on other than the census every 10 years. Catholic records for Guelph are not open to the public so I am unable to search to see if she happened to be a baptismal sponsor for grandchildren during those crucial years 1871 to 1881.
That brings me to trying to decide which is the most likely scenario - that my Joseph packed up his family and left Ontario for parts unknown, died there, and his widow Fanny Downey moved back to Ontario to be with her eldest daughter OR that my Joseph was married to both Fanny Foster and Fanny Downey and that he died in Guelph in 1877?
I don't know. I waffle between one scenario and the other. I have spent years going over and analyzing the clues and the documents I've found on the family. Sometimes I feel I'm going in circles, hoping for that one clue that will provide me with an "aha!" moment.

At least I was, 10 years ago when I came to Columbus for my undergraduate degree at THE Ohio State University. But when do you actually start saying you're from a city, not just living there, not just going to school there? Is it when you can tell someone new to the city where the best pizza or sushi in the city is? Or is it when you found your own little secret place that even someone who has lived their entire life here has never heard of? These were the kinds of things I needed to know, wanted to know before I moved out here.
I had my reservations about coming to Columbus. I was a little bit of a snob, (hey, my high school was the basis for 90210. Can you blame me?) a burgeoning foodie, and a shopaholic. Growing up in DC/MD, I had access to all the best shops, concerts, cultural centers and an ethnically diverse population that demanded not only an incredible variety of restaurants but that these restaurants be top of the line. Moving to the Midwest was not as glamorous as moving to NYC or Malibu like a lot of my friends were. But I wanted an adventure and I wanted my wanderlust to take me somewhere I had to work without a safety net like classmates or family.
Before I took the plunge and said yes to OSU, I did my research. I wanted to know all about the shops, concert venues, restaurants, the gay scene, campus life, public transportation, etc. I wanted to have jump off points as places for me to start exploring this city and make it my own. I was not disappointed.
That's the great thing about Columbus. We have such a diverse population that if you're a hipster or a punk or a prep or an alt or a gay or a jock or a college kid or a foodie or an art snob or anything else under the sun, you can not only find a niche here, you can carve out a whole new scene and watch it flourish.
Did you notice I said we? Yeah, it slips sometimes. Now and then I say, "Oh yeah, I'm from Columbus," instead of saying "I live in Columbus" or "I go to school in Columbus." I have definitely made this city my home for the past ten years and at least the next two years as I return to OSU to pursue my MLHR degree.
Over the year I'll be taking you to places around the city that are definitively Columbus and to some places you may not have even heard of, so you can make this city your home and whatever else you want it to be.

Outdoor Idaho "Eating Local" Most of our food travels about 1,500 miles before it ever reaches our kitchen tables. But there are a growing number of food producers and consumers who prefer to eat locally grown food; they say it's healthier and tastier. Today, more than 50 farmers markets operate throughout the state, allowing farmers and consumers to meet and learn from each other. It's a trend that harkens back to a simpler time, when communities supported local farmers and people knew where their food came from. Outdoor Idaho explores the growing fascination with eating local.G

What to do in Osaka, Japan with only 24 hours to soak in the beauty of this country? My intention was to explore Osaka and a few nearby must-see sites before embarking on an Azamara voyage. However, life happens and I only had two days to explore instead of five.
Being a port city, Osaka is filled with intrigue, history, and wonderful ancient and modern buildings. But I am so grateful I was able to make a day trip to explore Kyoto. Kyoto is a treasure chest of beauty and culture and the absolute must-see city in Japan.
I had the best excursion combo with Azamara. Our first Azamara Shore Excursions tour was to see the colors of Asia at Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which was constructed in the 17th Century. I loved the vibrant hues and architectural details of Kiyomizu-dera.
Our second stop was Nijo Castle. The craftsmanship of the Nijo's rooflines is jaw dropping, especially when you consider the castle was built in 1603.
If I'd had an extra day I would have strolled the gardens while enjoying the weather, nature's beauty, and the art created by man. The Golden Pavilion Temple was our last stop (official name is Rokuon-ji). It was built as a villa for a nobleman at the end of the 14th Century. Walking the Zen garden was such a treat and such a delightful contrast against glittering Rokuon-ji.
Sadly, I didn't have enough time to take in the exquisiteness, and we missed the Cherry Blossoms by a week. On the bright side, I was able to photograph many charming images at all three locations without the crowds (not an easy feat in densely populated Japan). Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Nijo Castle, and Golden Pavilion Temple (Rokuon-ji) are must-see attractions. Beauty surrounds you in Kyoto, and the city is not to be missed. Some travelers go for the history lesson; some may be on a spiritual quest. Art appreciation and architectural study draw others. The reasons are not important. The important thing is to go to Kyoto.

The Chestnut Hill Community Fund's "sole physical asset," the Town Hall Building at 8434 Germantown Ave., is doing well after remodeling, according to trustee Stanley Moat, who presented the real estate portion of the quarterly fund update to the Chestnut Hill Community Association's board on Oct. 25.
Moat updated the committee on the $20,000 refit of the small retail space now occupied by Roots Inc., which is six months into a three-year lease and doing well.
The other storefront, once occupied by Fabrics on the Hill, has been empty for a year after the operators of that business stopped paying on their lease. Tim McNulty, a retailer operating out of Princeton, N.J., agreed to bring his business, Green Design, to the space provided the fund could renovate it within six weeks.
"The appearance inside was very 1950s," Moat said.
McNulty agreed to a two-phase lease: a six-month trial, followed by a permanent five-year lease and moved in May 1. Complications in getting the retail space ready, coupled with lackluster business conditions on the Hill this summer led the CHCF to sign a repeat of that initial six-month lease, which will carry through to the end of April.
The remodeling of this space cost a little more than $60,000, more than 60 percent of which will be recouped by next April.
"If you've not seen these two stores in awhile, it really would be worthwhile to take a look inside," said trustee Bill McGuckin. "The job that Stanley has done is absolutely fabulous."
Fund treasurer Morris Disston, who presented CHCF investments, explained that the objective of fund investment is to balance growth and income while maintaining a small but adequate cash reserve.
"We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude in getting the fund to where it is compared with where it was five years ago," said CHCA board member Richard Snowden.
AVI planning
Last July, City Controller Alan Butkowitz spoke to the board about the proposed restructuring of Philadelphia property tax structure, known as the Actual Value Initiative or AVI. At the time, board president Brien Tilley described his appearance as an initial foray into educating the public about AVI and the steps the CHCA should take to respond to it.
That effort will continue, Tilley said at last week's board meeting, with a panel discussion scheduled for 7 to 9 p.m Wednesday, Nov. 14.
Confirmed panelists include Councilwoman Cindy Bass, Councilman-at-Large Bill Green, Councilman David Oh, Democratic candidate for city controller Brett Mandel, Ellen Mattleman Kaplan, policy director for the watchdog group Committee of Seventy, and Philadelphia City Controller Alan Butkowitz.
Tilley asked for full board attendance, but noted that this was not a board meeting.
"I would ask you all to make a concerted effort to be there," he said, adding that "November 14 is not a board meeting – we decided this topic deserves its own session."

When Brian White and his crew show up to exterminate bedbugs, which they do often in the city these days, they're sometimes met with an exasperated show-and-tell from the humans on the menu for the nocturnal parasites.
"If the tenants are around, they're showing you their arms and legs and all the bites and saying, 'We never see the bugs. How can they be doing all this to us?' " Mr. White said.
Sometimes he lifts up the box spring or platform under a mattress and peels back the felt on the bottom to reveal the tiny bloodsuckers lurking inside.
"Once I show them, they never want to sleep on that bed again, and I don't blame them," said Mr. White, owner of Pro-Tech Pest Control.
All but eradicated from developed countries by the middle of the 20th century, bedbugs began making a robust comeback about six years ago for reasons that aren't entirely understood but may include increased travel abroad and federal bans on certain pesticides.
The unpleasant trajectory of the bedbug resurgence in Worcester is clear in the number of reported infestations logged by the city's Department of Inspectional Services.
The department got just three calls about bedbugs in 2006. The number of calls had increased to 20 by 2008 and then to 74 by 2010. Last year, the city got 96 bedbug calls, according to the department's records.
And those are just the cases when a tenant complained to the city. In other instances, a landlord or property-management company takes care of the problem without involvement from the city.
"The bedbug issue is one of the more costly pest control issues we've ever dealt with. It absolutely exploded over the last few years," said Sandra Katz, president of the Worcester Property Owners Association. "I had a landlord who spent close to $10,000 on extermination for just one building."
Pro-Tech's Mr. White also can vouch for the extent of the parasite problem, which has had the opposite effect on his bottom line.
"I get a call for bedbugs every single day. That's no joke," Mr. White said. "There are more bedbugs in the city than roaches. I can tell you that for sure. It's flipped."
Amanda M. Wilson, Worcester's director of housing and health inspections, said she's been asked to speak to charity and community groups about bedbugs as the biting pests become an increasingly vexing problem for their clients and staff.
"I've seen infestations where, as soon as you flip up the fold at the edge of the mattress, you see the old shells where they've molted, live ones, eggs and the clear babies that haven't fed yet," Ms. Wilson said. "The other sign is tiny blood spots on the mattress. After they feed and walk away, they can leave a little trail of blood."
With bedbugs living inside heated homes near their food source, the infestations continue to plague residents through the winter. The department typically learns of bedbug infestations from tenants, but some cases are reported by visiting nurses, social workers and even educators who notice children with itchy, red welts on their arms and legs.
While the city sometimes allows landlords of smaller properties to take a crack at getting rid of mice or roaches on their own, it requires professional extermination of bedbugs in every case. The parasites are tricky to eradicate because they can't be baited with poison like mice or roaches, and because they can survive months without feeding, Ms. Wilson said.
Bedbug extermination also entails a much higher degree of inconvenience for and cooperation from tenants, which isn't always forthcoming, said Ms. Katz of the Worcester Property Owners Association.
After bedbugs began making a comeback here, the Worcester Housing Authority grew so concerned that the biting insects would migrate throughout buildings as tenants visited each other, officials set up a protocol of regular inspections.
"One day, out of the blue, somebody said, 'Oh, we have some bedbugs.' It was the first we had ever heard of it, and we had to start from scratch," WHA Executive Director Raymond V. Mariano said.
The housing authority found vendors who use specially trained beagles capable of sniffing out bedbugs and their eggs in bed frames, walls and other hiding spots. Mr. Mariano said all of the authority's roughly 3,000 apartments are checked for bedbugs by the dogs at least once a year now.
"I remember growing up saying, 'What's a bedbug?' I thought it was just some silly saying. 'Don't let the bedbugs bite.' Now I know it's not," Mr. Mariano said.
Dominique Nicolay and Andrew Valk of Worcester learned just how real bedbugs are the hard way a few years ago. They stayed in a nice hotel in Boston and, in the morning, discovered they weren't the only guests in the room that night.
"I had a rash with welts all over my stomach," Mr. Valk recalled.
Not long after, his son's Boston office had to be treated for bedbugs, and his daughter moved into a house in Shrewsbury and started getting bitten. Ms. Nicolay was looking to start a business, so Mr. Valk suggested she get into what appeared to be a growth industry.
The couple bought two dogs from a Florida canine academy, completed the handler training and then got certified by the National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association and another industry group.
Their home-based business, Mass Bed Bug Busters, now has clients all over the state and region as the bedbug problem spreads and worsens. They have a beagle named Nicki and a beagle-Jack Russell terrier mix named Malamar trained to sniff out the elusive, tiny insects.
The dogs have found bedbug infestations in places ranging from computer keyboards to picture frames. Typically, bedbugs take up residence near where people sleep or sit still for long periods of time. Because the bites are painless, people don't have to be asleep to become dinner for bedbugs.
Ms. Nicolay recently brought her dogs to the home of a woman who was getting bit but could find no signs of the bugs on her mattress or bed frame. Following their noses, Nicki and Malamar zeroed in on a couch.
"I flipped over the cushion and, sure enough, bedbugs were scurrying around underneath it. The woman showed me her bites, and she had welts all over her back," Ms. Nicolay said.
The couple have been hired to bring their dogs to gritty urban neighborhoods and leafy suburbs alike. They've searched houses, apartment buildings, residential care facilities, movie theaters, libraries, buses and cars over the years.
Whether an infestation is discovered by dogs or the people feasted upon, the next step requires pest-control technicians to get to work using special pesticides and, in some cases, portable heaters that kill the insects by baking a room or entire building.
The initial treatment for a typical three-decker costs about $1,200, and follow-up treatments often are necessary at additional expense, Mr. White said.
The Worcester Housing Authority handles routine infestations in-house but calls in pest-control companies in difficult cases. The agency's treatment protocol requires tenants to have their clothes and linens commercially laundered at high temperatures. They also are asked to store possessions in special containers, and sometimes furniture in the unit has to be sealed in plastic bags and discarded.
"We rip it up before we throw it out, so people don't pick up the furniture and bring it back in," Mr. Mariano said. "Bedbugs are really hard to get rid of if you don't do it right. You wouldn't want to wish this on your worst enemy."

|Wilton Plowright
I had no idea what to expect when I arrived at the bridge but was told, with a wink, to plan on staying for a little while and so I found a pleasant looking bit of grass and made myself comfortable. Before long a bearded fellow turned up and stationed himself on the bridge overlooking the creek. He stayed put and I waited, watching and listening. The sun was warm.There were several long billed grackles in a tree nearby chattering away. The bees were buzzing and the dragon flies hovered on the breeze. It was very relaxing. I was content, and so apparently was the chap on the bridge whose eyes were closed.
|Albion Bridge
I was beginning to feel quite at home in my little spot on the sun lit grass when I noticed that all of the toad stools in the immediate area had little faces carved on them. Someone had obviously sat here, for some hours, and carefully carved a unique little portrait on to each mushroom cap. Who would do such a thing? It then began to gradually dawn on me that the muttering birds in the nearby tree were actually speaking to each other and that I could almost make out what they were saying. They hadn't sounded this way before. But when did they stop their bird chatter and begin speaking in words? I couldn't recall and was surprised that I had missed something so obvious. They were chatting back and forth in a calm, conversational tone. If you weren't actually paying attention to the words they were saying you might almost think they were a couple of lawyers casually discussing a case. But I was listening to the words. They were speaking in bizarre poetic riddles with odd foreign accents. None of it made any sense and yet I felt as though I was right on the verge of understanding them. I was still examining the mushroom heads when it occurred to me that the artist must have sat right here, presumably listening to this same nonsensical dialogue, and created these little caricatures. Had the grackles inspired this little flood of creativity? Who could say? I was beginning to get rather drowsy. Listening to these birds was starting to have an intoxicating effect on me. I nodded off. Their voices diminishing into the hazy background of sleep.
|Long Billed Grackles
Happy adventuring everyone and peace be with you.
More soon.

For my extended family, 2011 was the year we were caught in a storm of sadness. For one cousin alone, the year brought the death of a husband from a long illness, her daughter was taken from her in a motorcycle accident and both my cousin and her son were diagnosed with kidney cancer. Breast cancer and ALS struck my own sisters and by December I was only too happy to see the end of the year approach.
Was my faith shaken? Not only shaken but stirred. Grief, and the anticipation of loss are at the same time universal and devastatingly personal. I knew in my heart that these events happen to the beloved of other people, but this time it was people I knew like I know myself.
I spent Christmas in the Keys that year. I guess, like Jonah, I wanted to get as far away as possible from what God was asking of us. No luck. At Mass at St. Peter's church on Big Pine Key I spent a long time looking at the depiction behind the altar of a storm tossed boat and some very distressed disciples waking Jesus from his nap.
Every now and then, I marvel at the simple brilliance of the Gospel stories and how they show how the faith of the first followers is both overwhelming and fragile. One of my favorites is from Luke:
One day he got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, "Let us cross to the other side of the lake." So they set sail, and while they were sailing he fell asleep.
They must have felt peaceful and tranquil and full of trust as they sailed in that little boat, secure that Jesus was with them. Just like me, I thought. My faith is pretty strong when the waters are calm.
And then as soon as the squall came and the boat rocked and started to take in water, the disciples went looking for Jesus in their terror. As though he wasn't with them the entire time.
How different am I? In my sadness I look around to see if perhaps Jesus isn't busy with something else or asleep or doing something that made him take his eyes off me for a second. I want to wake him up too.
Although Mark's Gospel today is not the same story and Jesus is not asleep, he seems nonetheless to be taking a little break from his followers, leaving them to live what he has been trying to teach them. But he is never too far away to step in and remind them of his presence.
2011 is over and so is 2012. My sisters still struggle with the aftermath of their respective diagnoses. I pray and read from the Scripture with one of them over the phone several times a week – she listens because her disease has robbed her of her speech. Before we read from Luke we pray:
Dear Lord, as we meditate on these passages from Scripture, please help us to trust you with our whole being. We cannot know what you have in store for us, but allow us to live each day trusting that you will be there to hold out your hand to help us through the storm.

text: Sands Of TimeEast of the Fertile Plains, the Sands Of Time spreads it's desert tentacles for thousands of miles. At one time in history, the desert was once a blooming, vast garden. A civilization of craftsmen labored here, building monuments to themselves. Only ruins remain of that civilization, possibly destroyed by the "Mistress Of Darkness", Shokoti. However, those who travel through the Sands Of Time, must be careful for the great windstorms whip up unexpectedly among the ruins and civilizations, with whirlwinds that create time vortexes, that pull individuals in and sending them back in time, where they never return. This desert land is inhabited by many dangerous creatures, along with Humanoids, Nomads, Reptile Men and Cybornetic Beings, who serve Trap Jaw. The Sands Of Time has many points of intrest: Home Of Elden, Pyramid Of The Sun, Pyramid Of Darkness, Fortress In The Sands, Trap Jaw's Lair and the House Of Shokoti. Civilizations include: City Of Kallish, Arid Spring Oasis and the City Of Sand's End.

It occurred to me when I was in Chicago the other day that the media furor about billionaire mogul Donald Trump's insistence that he be allowed to hang 20-foot-high letters spelling out his name on his new skyscraper is pretty much the same sort of mindset behind Gov. Pat Quinn's campaign to tag "Billionaire Bruce Rauner" as a rich, out of touch, right-wing white guy.
So, I commissioned a poll. While a majority actually agree that Trump had the right to hang his letters, he's not popular here and voters don't think people like him can understand regular folks.
The June 25 Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll of 1,033 likely Illinois voters found only 38 percent have a favorable view of Trump, while 42 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him. His numbers were worse in Chicago and suburban Cook County, where voters are far more Democratic and where the recent "giant letters" controversy was centered.
Only 23 percent of Chicagoans and 25 percent of suburban Cook residents had a favorable view of Trump, versus the 52 percent of Chicagoans and 56 percent of suburban Cook residents who had an unfavorable view. His favorable versus unfavorable ratings among African-Americans were 27-46 and 38-43 among whites. His highest favorable ratings were among Republicans 53-23, downstaters 47-34, collar county residents 44-38 and independents 43-37. The poll had a margin of error of plus-minus 3.05 percent.
But a large majority agreed with Trump when asked: "This month, Chicago's mayor and many others criticized Mr. Trump for placing what they called 'garish' 20-foot-tall letters spelling out his name on his new downtown Chicago skyscraper. Trump said it was his right to do so."
The poll found that 61 percent of Illinoisans sided with Trump, while only 29 percent sided with Trump's critics. Democrats were split 44-45 on the issue, African-Americans sided with Trump 47-41, as did 57 percent of Chicagoans, 56 percent of suburban Cook residents, 69 percent of collar county residents, 61 percent of downstaters, 80 percent of Republicans and 65 percent of independents.
"Despite the relatively low opinion many have of Mr. Trump, most believe he has the right to put his name in ego-sized proportion on his own building," We Ask America pollster Gregg Durham explained. "They're able to separate their personal feelings about the man from the larger question concerning his rights."
But I also wanted to test not only Trump, but people similar to Trump – as in Rauner. So, we came up with this question: "Do you think that wealthy people like Mr. Trump are able to understand the problems of everyday folks?"
To perhaps no one's surprise, only 32 percent of Illinoisans said that type of people can understand regular folks, while 55 percent said they couldn't.
The differences were most pronounced among Democrats, at 18 percent "can understand" versus 72 percent "cannot understand," Chicagoans at 21-63 and African-Americans at 26-58.
A mere 47-39 plurality of Republicans and a 45-44 split of suburban collar county residents agreed that people such as Trump can understand regular folks, which probably shows you more than anything else just how ingrained this mindset is.
If you noticed above, a plurality of independents had a favorable viewpoint of Trump and a strong majority supported his right to hang those huge letters. But only 35 percent of independents said that Trump and those like him can understand their problems, while 51 percent said they can't.
Downstaters leaned toward liking Trump and strongly supported his right to hang his letters, but a mere 27 percent said wealthy people such as Trump can understand the problems of everyday folks, while 59 percent said they can't.
And the same goes for whites, who didn't care for Trump but backed his sign decision. Only 32 percent said Trump and folks like him can understand their problems, while 57 percent of whites said they cannot.
Taken in this context, it's easy to understand Rauner's endlessly repeated emphasis on his $18 watch and his Harley Davidson motorcycle.
It also helps explain Rauner's announcement last week that he was supporting some long-time liberal populist proposals to close several "corporate loopholes" and to slap an inheritance tax on the transfer of yachts and jets to surviving spouses.
Rauner cannot risk being "Trumped" by Quinn. On the other hand, Quinn apparently believes he needs to paint Rauner as a local version of the cartoon character that Trump has become. It obviously works well here.

In his five years with the Minnesota Twins, David "Big Papi" Ortiz struck me as a player with awesome potential who persistently underperformed, partly as a result of injuries and partly as a result of poor coaching. The Twins sought to turn him into a singles hitter. As he put it, "They tried to make me hit like a girl!" There's actually a lot of that going around.
Regardless of his level of performance with the Twins, Ortiz's behavior was that of a gentle giant. At one game I attended with my two youngest daughters, we arrived early to watch batting practice from great seats in the first row. We said hello to Ortiz, waiting his turn on the field immediately below us. He casually went over to the dugout and returned with a pail of bubble gum to hand up to my kids through the railing. We remember.
The Twins let Ortiz get away in 2002 after his best season with the team. We were sorry to see him move on to the Red Sox. In Boston, however, Ortiz caught fire, helping the Sox to overcome the curse of the Bambino in 2004 with their first World Series championship since the Ruth trade.
The return of the Red Sox to Fenway Park today coincided with the return of Ortiz to the lineup, back from a nagging injury. "Big Papi addressed the crowd just before the game got underway, punctuating his remarks with a poignant and profane note of resolve," they note over at the Puffington Host: "This jersey that we're wearing today it doesn't say 'Red Sox.' It says, 'Boston.' We want to thank you for you, Mayor Menino, Governor Patrick, the whole police department, for the great job that they did this past week," Ortiz said. "This is our f****** city. And nobody is going to dictate our freedom. Stay strong."
This week Boston is America's city and we can all join in Ortiz's defiant declaration.
Via The Hope for America.
JOHN adds this UPDATE:
Ortiz won't be fined by the FCC for his F-bomb:
"David Ortiz spoke from the heart at today's Red Sox game," outgoing FCC head Julius Genachowski tweeted. "I stand with Big Papi and the people of Boston."

Author Notes: This is a twist on a recipe by my mom, which has been making this for years and passed it along. The nice thing is that it is really flexible.
I'm unsure of what cheese she used, but I use gruyere and it makes it oh so delicious. and you can substitute dijon mustard but I leave it out because I dont really like dijon. AND, you can do this recipe with green asparagus but I prefer white. —yella
Serves: 4
juice from half a lemon
pounds white asparagus
cup ildly strong mustard, or to taste
cup grated mild-flavored gruyere
In This Recipe
- Peel the asparagus so as to remove the hard part and trim the hard ends. If really large, cut the asparagus in half. Set aside and preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lemon juice. Blanch the asparagus for 1-2 min or until soft and tender. (I prefer them really soft, boyfriend likes them crunchier - up to you). Place them in ice cold water.
- Arrange asparagus in a ceramic or glass baking pan. Make sure they are side by side and in one layer. Cover asparagus with mustard. You dont want it to be drenched in mustard, think of it as how you would put mustard on a hot dog. Sprinkle gruyere over the mustard. Season with a fresh ground black pepper.
- Put in the oven for about 15 min, or until all the cheese has melted. Serve hot. Voila! C'est delicieux!

Cyberonics: Former Employee Dismisses Suit
By Anna Prior
Cyberonics Inc. said a former employee voluntarily dismissed without prejudice a lawsuit he filed against the medical-device maker in a Massachusetts federal court.
The employee, former sales representative Andrew Hagerty, had previously filed a wrongful termination suit against the company in which he raised questions about the legality of Cyberonics sales and marketing practices.
The lawsuit had raised "the potential for this case broadening to something larger" like a qui tam, or "whistleblower" suit, Jefferies analyst Raj Denhoy said in a note to clients.
Shares of the medical-device maker recently rose 8.4% to $48.08.
