OWS, While Just Protest, Not The Same As Civil Rights Movement
I believe once the economy improves OWS will get their jobs and move on. Meanwhile, our struggle continues. That's why OWS is not just like the Civil Rights Movement.
Why do we sell our history so cheap?
I have heard too many allude to Occupy Wall Street as being "just like the Civil Rights Movement." OWS should align itself with specific causes and use its clout and shine light on issues of unfairness.
However, not all of us are willing to equate our historic struggle over decades albeit centuries to OWS. Black people who placed their lives and livelihoods in jeopardy for civil rights are the topics of my books.
Criminal cases of murdered Blacks, who "forgot their place," remain unsolved. I am old enough to have been bused across town for integration's sake. The n-word is not foreign to me; it was spewed in my face and written on my locker in high school. This was not in the 1950s or 1960s.
After talking with protesters at Occupy Wall Street in Zuccotti Park, I understood what was so different between OWS and the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. The gripe of OWS is with those who stole too much and left too little for others. Millions feel this way. But, that does not place OWS protesters in the shoes of Fannie Lou Hamer.
At Zuccotti Park, I heard shouting about the homeless. I read signs about student loan debt. Anti-war buttons were sold. I bought t-shirts deriding invasion of privacy with caricatures of Uncle Sam. One tourist from France asked, "Why are you here?" A young man with a bull horn, tan skin, and curly brown hair, stood on a short stone wall, and shouted this nonsensical line, "The fact that the government does not want us here is reason enough to be here."
My business in the Wall Street area that day was simple. I was to be a guest on a radio show on WBAI, a Pacifica radio station, later that afternoon, discussing discrimination in the New York City Fire Department. A federal judge had found the test and post-test process to be unfair to Black and Latino applicants resulting in people of color being only 2% of the entire FDNY force. I thought of those plaintiffs as I walked around Zuccotti Park closely examining the cacophony of complaints of mostly White people there.
I agree that the OWS protesters were abused by law enforcement. Then again, Black people will never know the lives and livelihoods lost during the George Wallace-era of race baiting. OWS displays a rage of one betrayed, cheated by the 1%. They were cheated out of good jobs promised upon receipt of college diplomas.
They were cheated out of nice homes and quality public schools for their children. Blacks had been cheated out of human rights for hundreds of years.
The Civil Rights Movement was about getting rights clearly guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. That fight took discipline, foresight, strategies, and cooperation, while we were embattled on all fronts. Young people and our elders sacrificed 381 days for the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Charles Hamilton Houston worked himself to death creating legal strategies to overturn the apartheid ruling of Plessy v. Ferguson.
Have we forgotten?
Yes, the OWS issues are important. Police abused OWS protesters. Like the sheriffs of the Jim Crow era, police respond to power. OWS expected the police to honor their rights. In this hard-scrabble economy, being White in the 99% bears little weight to politicians relying on big donations.
Those Black and Latino firefighters expected a fair hiring procedure. The police abuse of OWS is nothing compared to the depraved attacks suffered by Black women as punishment for gains in Civil Rights.
OWS should not suffer trial by fire before they can claim to be a legitimate movement. But, claims of hostilities against OWS become questionable when Russell Simmons and other celebrities are dropping by for photo-ops.
Yet, earlier in their campaign, U.S. Representative John Lewis, the respected civil rights icon, was rejected from the podium of Occupy Atlanta. John Lewis had been severely beaten protesting for voting rights in Alabama. Lewis, a believer in nonviolence, was spat upon by White Tea Party members for supporting the President Obama's Healthcare Legislation.
We all need to stand against injustice. The First Amendment provides a right to petition the government for redress of grievances.
Martin Luther King was killed in Memphis protesting on behalf of sanitation workers. OWS, like the Hippie Movement of the 1960s, seek a better life. Young people worldwide want opportunities and feel stifled by this economic downturn. I believe once the economy improves OWS will get their jobs and move on. Until then, they will protest.
I wish them well. Meanwhile, our struggle continues. That's why OWS is not just like the Civil Rights Movement.

With over 35 years of combined expertise, bat authenticators Vince Malta and John Taube are the formidable team for PSA/DNA's Professional Model Bat authentication service. Their reputation and integrity is second to none in the hobby. Both exhibit strong attention to detail, expertise with labeling variations and insight to restoration. Most importantly, both share a commitment to provide the hobby with an honest and uncompromised evaluation of professional model bats.
A native of San Francisco, Vince Malta has been an avid collector of professional model bats for over 15 years. His passion for collecting turned into an absolute obsession in his pursuit for knowledge in accurately authenticating the time period a bat was manufactured for a player. He is known by collectors as a person very willing to share his bat collecting knowledge and has been a great ambassador to the bat-collecting hobby. He co-authored the very first book exclusively devoted to collecting Professional Model Bats. This book has been relied on as a primary reference guide to countless collectors, auction houses, and baseball museums, including the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. He is currently working with PSA bat authenticator, John Taube, on completing a comprehensive collector's guide to Hillerich & Bradsby professional model bats, entitled "100 years of Louisville Slugger."
Malta has been a bat authenticator for three years with the very reputable Grey Flannel Auction House, and has an impeccable reputation for consistently providing accurate, unbiased opinions. Recently, Malta collaborated with PSA in authenticating Shoeless Joe Jackson's famed "Black Betsy" baseball bat, which set a record for the most money ever obtained in a public sale for a baseball bat.
As a die-hard Yankee fan, John Taube started his collecting days with baseball cards. In fact, during his annual excursion to spring training, a deal with a bat boy initiated his bat interest. Taube traded cards for a few professional model bats. He was hooked. He held in his hand real memorabilia that was directly linked to the players. Naturally, Taube lost interest in card collecting.
Through the years, this New Jersey native's allure and appreciation of professional model bats lead him to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to feed his collecting habit. After twenty years, his expertise on physical attributes of game use and bat dating have pinned him as one of the world's leading authenticators. His most memorable authentication is a side written Babe Ruth professional model bat with 11 home run notches. As any other bat, this one in particular had some history behind it. It was used by Ruth in the late '20s, cracked, and then returned to Hillerich & Bradsby!
Ultimately, Taube's part time hobby became a full time interest in March 2002. Taube, in conjunction with Vince Malta, is leading the way to standardizing bat authentication in the sports collectibles industry. Together, they have an ongoing commitment to expand the existing knowledge of professional model bats.

Travel Q&A: Nantucket, Istanbul, Europe and more
Q: My family is considering a trip to Nantucket in June. We weren't planning to take a car, so we'd be dependent on public transportation, bikes, walking, etc. Will early June be sufficiently warm to enjoy the beach? How much hindrance would staying more than a mile outside the historic "town" present to easy access to activities and the beach? Are some neighborhoods around the town better than others? How easy is it to get to beaches without a car?
A: Nantucket is gorgeous. But June - especially early June - can still be chilly. You might hit a warm spot, but in general, you can't depend on being able to enjoy beaches (as in, in your bathing suits) in early June. Average temps that month have highs in the mid-60s, but the wind off the ocean can make it feel much cooler than that when you're on the beach. But if you don't mind layering your clothes a little bit, it can be a pleasant time to be there. (Although my favorite time to visit Nantucket, the Vineyard or the Cape is just after Labor Day.)
For better news: Transportation is easy without a car. Bike rentals, moped rentals and shuttle buses abound, and you can easily use those to get to beaches. The town is so compact that I don't really think there's too much difference in character between the "neighborhoods." Of course, the closer you are to downtown and the wharf, the busier things are going to be, but other than that, it's pretty quiet.

Q: In late April we arrive in Istanbul at 5 p.m. and leave again at 1 a.m. for Johannesburg. Is there anything to do in Istanbul during that time or should we just get a hotel room and take a shower and nap? Naturally, the time is really much shorter by the time we actually get out of the airport and then have to get back two to three hours before the flight. Maybe dinner in a special restaurant?
A: I recently had a seven-hour layover in Istanbul and struggled with the decision to hang out in the airport (ugh) or explore the unknowns of Istanbul (yay!). After some serious thinking, which included my mother's warning about the awful traffic there, I ultimately decided to stay. And the time oddly flew by: There were lots of restaurants, shops and benches for naps.
I think at that hour, you would be wise to stick close to the airport. If you are flying Turkish Airlines, the carrier offers free accommodations based on the length of your layover. The airport also has temporary lodging options.
- Andrea Sachs
Q: We never travel during peak season, but with my spouse in grad school this semester we are going to have to wait until mid-May for our big "outside North America" trip. We haven't settled on a destination (Belgium is in the lead, but we're thinking of Berlin or Dublin as well), but I'm wondering if we should start getting serious about planning now in order to secure the best flights and hotels. Any advice on destination or booking time frames appreciated. We're into staying in walkable cities with lots to do, museums, bars, music, food, etc.
A: Start planning now, especially your air travel. First you'll have to choose the destination, but it helps to become familiar with the usual airfares so you know when to buy. Dublin is likely going to be the cheapest of those three because Aer Lingus serves it, but Berlin may also have some good fares via Air Berlin.
- Carol Sottili
Q: I'm heading to Key West for two nights and Miami for three next week. I've never been to the Keys, but I hear that Key West is very touristy and wonder whether there are any "off-the-beaten-path" things to discover there.
A: If you have a day to spare, head to the Dry Tortugas, which is a world away from Key West and definitely off the beaten path. My favorite activity when I'm in the Keys is diving, and one of my favorite dive spots is Looe Key. It's nice and quiet under 30 feet of water.

Matron at Hogwarts School
|Madam Pomfrey, the matron, was a nice woman, but very strict.
–Description., Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Madam Poppy Pomfrey was the matron at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was a very competent nurse, having been in the position for, at least, the last quarter of the 20th century.
She is very possessive of the patients in her care at the hospital wing, and their visitors upset her somewhat, as she frequently insists they must rest. She is proficient in her area of expertise, healing magic, and can take care of some ailments "in a heartbeat".

1971-1978 school years[edit]
Madam Pomfrey began her career at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry sometime prior to 1971, being trusted in that year by Headmaster Albus Dumbledore to escort new Gryffindor student Remus Lupin, who was infected with lycanthropy due to a bite from Fenrir Greyback, to the Whomping Willow every full moon
Prior to 1981[edit]
At some point before 1 November, 1981, Madam Pomfrey complimented Dumbledore on a set of earmuffs he had recently acquired. The compliment made him blush in such a manner that would only be rivalled when Professor McGonagall compared his magical prowess satisfactorily against Voldemort's.
1991–1992 school year[edit]
- Harry: "You let Professor Dumbledore in..."
- Pomfrey: "Well, of course, that was the Headmaster, quite different. You need rest."
- Harry: "I am resting, look, lying down and everything. Oh, go on Madam Pomfrey..."
- — Harry pleading with Madam Pomfrey to allow Ron and Hermione to visit him[src]
In 1991 after visiting Rubeus Hagrid, Ron Weasley was required to go to Madam Pomfrey after being bitten by the dragon Norberta. Ron told her that he had been bitten by a dog, but Madam Pomfrey had doubts about it due to the unusual colour of the purple, green, and black wound, but in the end she dropped the subject and continued to treat him after Ron insisted it was a dog.
Later on in the year, after Harry Potter fought Professor Quirrell in the Hogwarts dungeons over the Philosopher's Stone, he spent three days unconscious in the hospital wing under Madam Pomfrey's care. She was reluctant for Harry to have any visitors, even Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger as she thought that all Harry needed was bed rest but she allowed headmaster Albus Dumbledore to visit Harry time to time.
1992–1993 school year[edit]
In 1992, Madam Pomfrey administered Skele-gro on Harry to regrow his bones in the arm after Gilderoy Lockhart's attempt to fix a broken bone failed disastrously. Pomfrey was annoyed that Harry had not been bought straight to her in the first place as re-growing bones is a more difficult task than mending bones, which she claims she can do "in a heartbeat".
In the same year, Hermione Granger ended up in the hospital wing for a month after an accident in an unauthorised high-level potion-making (Polyjuice Potion) left her half-feline; apparently the group felt comfortable letting Madam Pomfrey to treat her since she would not ask too many questions and just get on with the job in hand. Hermione was allowed visitors, but it bothered Madam Pomfrey somewhat.
Also in the 1992–1993 school year Hogwarts was facing potential closure as a monster had been attacking Muggle-born students around the school. It was Madam Pomfrey's job to make sure that these students were found and treated to the best of her ability, though for those petrified she could not treat students without Pomona Sprout's Mandrake potion. She also refused to allow any students to visit the victims, in fear of the attacker might return to finish them, but allowed Harry and Ron to visit Hermione with Professor McGonagall's permission. Eventually, they managed to get the potion made and cured Hermione Granger, Colin Creevey, Penelope Clearwater, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Nearly Headless Nick, and Mrs. Norris. At the end of the year, Madam Pomfrey and Professor Sprout sat at the staff table and Albus Dumbledore asked the whole school to thank them both for their efforts in helping all petrified students, as well as applauding in Lockhart's departure.
1993–1994 school year[edit]
- Poppy: "Oh, it's you is it?... I suppose you've been doing something dangerous again?"
- McGonagall: "It was a dementor, Poppy"
- Poppy: "Setting dementors around a school... He won't be the last one that collapses. Yes, he's all clammy. Terrible things, they are, and the effect they have on people who are already delicate —"
- — Poppy and Professor McGonagall discuss the effect that dementors have one people[src]
At the end of 1994 Harry, Ron, and Hermione all had endured injuries following the events that took place when Sirius Black returned to Hogwarts and revealed Peter Pettigrew to be alive. The three all woke up in the hospital wing after Ron broke his leg the previous evening, and both Harry and Hermione had passed out from the Dementor attack along with Sirius Black. Madam Pomfrey was not surprised to have the three in her care again. Whilst in the Hospital Wing, Hermione, at Dumbledore's hint, used her Time-Turner to go back in time with Harry to three hours before. They rescued Sirius Black on Buckbeak the hippogriff to prevent him from being administered the fatal Dementor's Kiss. They managed to get back in time without Madam Pomfrey realising what they had done. Madam Pomfrey also spoke approvingly of Remus Lupin's use of chocolate to relieve the effects of a Dementor's presence on students, commenting that Hogwarts has "finally got a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher who knows his remedies".
1994–1995 school year[edit]
|Last year dementors, this year dragons, what are they going to bring into this school next?
–Madam Pomfrey complains about the Triwizard Tournament, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
When several students, including Fred and George Weasley, S. Fawcett and Summers "decided to age themselves up a little" in order to be eligible to enter the 1994 Triwizard Tournament, Madam Pomfrey had to remove the beards which they had grown in attempting to cross Dumbledore's Age Line. She was most annoyed by the students actions and treated them with regret. She felt that the Triwizard Tournament would bring the school nothing but grief.
During the same school year, it was Madam Pomfrey's job to tend to the injuries that the four Triwizard Champions, Harry Potter, Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour and Cedric Diggory received during the course of the tournament, and expressed distaste for the dragons for the first task.
She was also responsible to take the body of Cedric Diggory to the Hospital Wing after he had been killed by Peter Pettigrew under the order of Lord Voldemort during the last task. Later, after being questioned by Albus Dumbledore on the details of the incident, Harry Potter was sent to the hospital where Madam Pomfrey prescribed a Dreamless Sleep Potion for him, in order to get ample rest.
1995–1996 school year[edit]
|I don't wonder you're shocked, Potter, as if one of them could have stunned Minerva McGonagall face-on by daylight! Cowardice, that's what it was... despicable cowardice... if I wasn't worried what would happen to you students without me, I'd resign in protest!
–Madam Pomfrey to Harry Potter on her intention to resign, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
In 1996, Hogwarts was under the control of the Ministry. Albus Dumbledore had escaped after facing potential imprisonment in Azkaban and Dolores Umbridge had taken over. Minerva McGonagall, Madam Pomfrey's close friend was hit by four Stunning Spells to the chest by Aurors while Umbridge was trying to sack and remove Hagrid from Hogwarts. Madam Pomfrey was deeply shocked by this attack and was unable to help Minerva. She transferred her to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries where she could receive better treatment by qualified healers. Also, after the Dumbledore's Army's traitor, Marietta Edgecombe, was struck with Hermione Granger's jinx, Madam Pomfrey could not do the slightest in improving the pustules instilled on Marietta's face.
Madam Pomfrey considered resigning in protest after the attack, but did not as she cared for the students too much. She subsequently helped treat the assorted injuries that Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter sustained during the battle in the Department of Mysteries, including a broken ankle, broken nose, and the effects of an unknown curse on Hermione, which if cast verbally could have been fatal.
1996–1997 school year[edit]
In 1997, Madam Pomfrey examined Katie Bell after she had been cursed by an Opal necklace. She could not help Bell and transferred her to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for a specialist's opinion.
Madam Pomfrey also tended to Ron after he had almost been poisoned after drinking a glass of mead, which had been poisoned by Draco Malfoy in an attempt to kill Dumbledore.
She also helped Harry by fixing and mending up his head after he was hit and knocked out by a Quaffle which had been hit by McLaggen during a Quidditch match.
Later in the year, Hogwarts fell under attack from the Death Eaters. Several students and Aurors were caught up in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, a battle which resulted in the death of headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Madam Pomfrey tended to the wounds and injuries of those in the battle; Bill Weasley was injured the worst of all, as werewolf Fenrir Greyback had savaged and bit him whilst in his human form, causing Bill to be badly scarred. Madam Pomfrey noted that there is no cure for werewolf bites and scars. Lupin, being a werewolf himself, assumed that Bill would not take the form of a true werewolf since he might not be entirely infected with Lycanthropy, though he could develop lupine qualities. Since it was an unique case, neither Madam Pomfrey nor the others knew what would become of Bill when he awoke. When he woke up, all that happened to Bill developed a liking for raw meat.
Shortly afterwards, Madam Pomfrey attended the Funeral of Albus Dumbledore to pay her respects to her lost colleague and friend.
Battle of Hogwarts[edit]
Following the death of former headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Lord Voldemort had taken control of Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic. He had appointed Severus Snape as Headmaster. Detentions and punishments imposed on students were severe under the cruel Death Eaters Amycus and Alecto Carrow as teachers. Students were noted to be in and out of the Hospital Wing often. In particular, Seamus Finnigan's face was unrecognisable with bruises.
Later on in the year, Harry, Ron and Hermione returned to Hogwarts in search of the final Horcrux in Hogwarts, triggering a battle. The staff and students defended the school against Voldemort and his Death Eater army bravely whilst Harry searched for the Horcrux. At the end of the Battle of Hogwarts, students and staff alike were injured, or even killed. After the battle Madam Pomfrey tended to all the injured and dead.
Later life[edit]
By 2014, Madam Pomfrey had retired or was thinking of retiring, since Hannah Abbott reportedly applied for the position of Matron at Hogwarts.[3]
Personality and traits[edit]
Madam Pomfrey was described by her students as being exceptionally kind, but even more so strict. She was very obsessive, lining up the sweet boxes belonging to her patients in neat rows, and was intensely worried about all of the students under her care, believing even feasts to be risky. Indeed, she never asked questions about how her patients received their ailments or questioning the sometimes ludicrous stories they told her, but instead immediately set to fixing them up.
Magical abilities and skills[edit]
- Healing magic: Madam Pomfrey had a very high understanding of medical charms and could mend broken bones in less than sixty seconds.
- Transfiguration: She proficient at Transfiguration, being able to quickly and wordlessly conjure a chair for Professor McGonagall to sit on after hearing of the death of Albus Dumbledore.
- Defence Against the Dark Arts: Pomfrey was able to create a non-corporeal Patronus, a feat that is noted to be difficult.[2] She is also a skilled enough duellist to survive the Battle of Hogwarts, defeating at least one witch and surviving the onslaught of thousands more. She also recognised a Dementor attack and knew immediately to prescribe chocolate, expressing grim approval of Professor Lupin when she learned that he had already treated the student.
- Poppy juice, better known as opium, is one of the oldest known medicines; it has been used as a painkiller and soporific for, at the very least, thousands of years. King Tut's tomb contained jars of poppy juice, presumably to relieve the pain he suffered from a head injury. Although it is mostly known today as an addictive drug, opium's derivatives, such as morphine and codeine, are vital to modern medicine for their anaesthetic properties.
- Pomfrey sounds like comfrey, a plant in the borage family which can be made into a soothing salve. Meanings of her names are, therefore, both in some way medically related. Pomfrey cakes are small, sweet lozenges made from the roots of the licorice plant. Licorice also has been a medicinal ingredient for hundreds of years.
Behind the scenes[edit]
- Pomfrey is portrayed by British actress Gemma Jones in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
- In the film adaptations, Madam Pomfrey wears a cloth in her hair similar to caps worn by British Nurses at various points in history. Her uniform costume as seen in the second film is very similar and could be based on Victorian and Edwardian nurse's uniforms. Her uniform that we see in the 6th and 8th films is very similar and could be based on very early NHS nurse's uniforms from the 1940's and 50's.

HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania State Police are looking for information on an unsolved case, which involved the murder of U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Robert Daniel Corriveau. He was discovered deceased along the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Chester County about 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
On Nov. 18, 1968, a Pennsylvania State Trooper, while on routine turnpike patrol, spotted a man in a seated position alongside the highway about a mile east of the Downingtown interchange. The trooper stopped to check on the man and found that he was deceased. An autopsy determined that the victim had been stabbed once through the heart. He carried no identification and was considered a John Doe. He remained unidentified for 44 years.
On July 29, 2009, in an effort to further the investigation, members of the Pennsylvania State Police Criminal Investigation Assessment /Missing Persons Unit with assistance from the Chester County District Attorney's Office and Chester County Coroner's Office, exhumed John Doe's body. Bone samples were sent to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification where a DNA profile was obtained and entered into a national missing persons DNA database.
Suspecting the victim might have been in the military because of his physical description at the time and two tattoos; one being a bird in flight with a heart in the background, and the other being a bulldog wearing a World War I helmet with letters "USMC" printed below it, a request for assistance was sent to the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service Cold Case Unit and the U.S. Marine Corps Absentee Collection Unit.
On May 31, John Doe was positively identified by DNA as Cpl. Robert Daniel Corriveau, U.S. Marine Corps. Corriveau, just shy of his 21st birthday, was an active duty Marine who had been wounded in action on three separate occasions in Vietnam in 1967. At the time of his disappearance, Corriveau was a patient at the Philadelphia Naval Hospital, where he was receiving psychiatric treatment for a combat related condition. Corriveau was discovered missing by hospital personnel at approximately 7:50 a.m. Nov. 18, 1968, the same day he was found deceased.
Corriveau, originally from Lawrence, MA, was 20 years old at the time of his death. He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in March of 1965. He served several tours in Vietnam, was injured in the line of duty and was awarded two purple hearts. He previously received psychiatric treatment for a combat related condition at the Chelsea Naval Hospital in Chelsea, MA.
The Pennsylvania State Police are asking for the public's assistance in recalling any details that could help to solve this case. This would include members of the U.S. Marine Corps or Navy who may have served with Corriveau and Naval personnel or patients who were present at the Philadelphia Naval Hospital in October and November of 1968.
Individuals with information are asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police at 610-268-5158 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you have information about this case or any serious crime or wanted person, call Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers toll free at 1-800-4PA-TIPS or visit their Web site at www.PACrimeStoppers.org. Tips made to Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers may be eligible for a cash reward.

OLYMPIA, Washington — Detectives who responded to reports of a shooting at a home in Washington state found a floor-to-ceiling stripper pole, 15 marijuana plants and two angry, five-foot alligators guarding them, police said on Tuesday.
The alligators were kept in a room with the marijuana plants and hissed at detectives who opened the door, said Thurston County Sheriff's spokesman Lieutenant Greg Elwin.
"This was a fairly atypical event," Elwin said. "We see brass poles from time to time, but there were alligators."
A resident of the house in Olympia, 41-year-old Darren Shore, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after telling detectives he had fired at a car on his property in self-defense out of fear it would run him down, Elwin said.
We see brass poles from time to time, but there were alligators
A 30-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds to the arm and back was treated at a nearby hospital for non life-threatening wounds. Elwin declined to release the man's name.
Shore's story didn't match up with the evidence at hand, which suggested he fired in a premeditated attack as soon as the car arrived on his property, Elwin said.
Before being taken away, Shore offered to help the detectives secure the alligators. The three of them lured the reptiles into a bathroom with raw chicken parts, Elwin said.
The alligators, which Shore owned legally, were left with a bathtub full of water and the chicken for food.
"It was one of those frier assortments, with legs and wings," Elwin said. "The alligators seemed to like them."
With Shore in jail, the reptiles were left in the care of a woman who also lives at the house, who Elwin identified as an exotic dancer.

|A typo on the replicator page has been fixed thanks to an anonymous reader.
|At the suggestion of Cador Davis, I have updated Janeway's page to reflecther promotion.

WORCESTER — Supporters of Walmart employees protested today outside the store on Tobias Boland Way — and at others throughout the state — to highlight what they say is the company's poor treatment of workers.
The local protests are coordinated by the Massachusetts Stands Up to Walmart campaign, which is a coalition of Jobs for Justice, the Worcester Unemployment Action Group and other community organizations. The Massachusetts effort is part of protests planned at 1,500 Walmart stores nationwide.
Michael F. Belanger, 23, of Leicester, one of the organizers, said the average salary of a full-time employee at Walmart is $25,000. One of the protesters held a sign that read: "Walmart employees receive $2.7 billion in government assistance per year." Another said the need for Walmart employees held drives to pay for food for other workers shows how low salaries are.
Mr. Belanger said none of the 20-plus protesters at the Walmart stores in Leominster and Worcester are employees.
"There's a lot of intimidation that goes on in the corporation," he said. "Employees are generally afraid to speak out against it. And I don't blame them. When that's your only income you don't want to risk it to stand up. But somebody has to speak up. Somebody has to stand up."
Ryan Daley of Worcester, a shopper today at the Tobias Boland Way Walmart, was surprised when told that some full time employees make $25,000 a year.
"Nobody can live on that," the unemployed software engineer said. "I don't think anybody can live on minimum wage. I'm in favor of it being increased across the board."
Kory Lundberg, a spokesman in Walmart's corporate office in Arkansas, downplayed the protests. He said there are a few people showing up in a few locations across the country, but none include Walmart workers.
"The reason is that our associates understand the truth about working for Walmart," he said. "We supply more advancement opportunities and employment opportunities than any other retailer in America."
He said Walmart will promote 160,000 people this year. The company moves 75,000 part-time workers to full-time each year. The majority of hourly workers are full-time and make $12.81 an hour, he said.

It's been a while since I had the time to post here. In the last few months I've left my old emplyer (Pebble Beach Systems), and joined AB Software Consulting. Why the change? I've always maintained that the best way to keep your skills honed is to keep moving. ABSC requires a completely different skill set to Pebble beach. It feels like the next logical step in my career progression.
It's very easy to stay in a job that isn't giving you what you need. Don't make this mistake! If something isn't right, and you've tried fixing it, it may well be time to move. It's a very hard thing to do, but in my case it's been worth it.

Born in Leningrad. While still a student at the St Petersburg Conservatoire he was invited to join the Mariinsky Academy of young Singers. Made his debut at the Mariinsky Theatre in Prokofiev's opera Semyon Kotko, and since 1998 has been a soloist with the Opera Company.
Roles he has performed at the Mariinsky Theatre include: Ruslan (Ruslan and Lyudmila) Konchak (Prince Igor) Prince Gremin (Eugene Onegin) Pimen (Boris Godunov) Prince Nikolai Bolkonsky, Marshal Davout (War and Peace) Leporello (Don Giovanni) Figaro (Le Nozze di Figaro) Bass (stage version of Verdi's Requiem) King Marke (Tristan und Isolde) King Heinrich (Lohengrin) Hunding (Die Walküre) Hagen (Götterdämmerung)
Mikhail Petrenko has won such prestigious international vocal competitions as the Maria Callas Competition, the Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov Competition, the Plácido Domingo Competition and the Elena Obraztsova Competition. To a great degree he owes his emergence as a singer to maestro Valery Gergiev.
The start of Mikhail Petrenko's international career came with his debut at the Berliner Staatsoper as Hunding (Die Walküre) in 2004 under the baton of Daniel Barenboim. Since then, Mikhail Petrenko has been invited to the world's leading opera houses and prestigious opera festivals. He has appeared at the Opéra National de Paris, the Metropolitan Opera (New York), La Scala (Milan), the Bayerische Staatsoper and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (London) as well as at the Salzburg Festival, the Aix en Prevence Festival and the BBC Proms concerts held at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Orchestras with which Mikhail Petrenko has appeared include the Berliner Philharmoniker, the Mariinsky Theatre Symphony Orchestra, the Wiener Philharmoniker, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestre de Paris, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, Salzburg's Mozarteum Orchestra, Manchester's Hallé Orchestra and Bavarian Radio Orchestra.
Mikhail Petrenko works with such outstanding conductors as Valery Gergiev, Sir Simon Rattle, Daniel Barenboim, Pierre Boulez, Christoph Eschenbach, Zubin Mehta and Lorin Maazel. Both the singer's operatic and concert repertoires are extremely varied. Mikhail Petrenko's cinematic debut came very recently with the film Juan, based on Mozart's operaDon Giovanni, in which he performed the role of Leporello. The film was premiered at the Hamburg Film Festival in October 2010.
In November 2011 he performed the role of Ruslan (Ruslan and Lyudmila) at the reopening of Moscow's historical Bolshoi Theatre.

Topic Page: lynx
name given to several related small, ferocious members of the cat family. All have small heads, tufted ears, and heavy bodies with long legs and short tails. All are primarily terrestrial, although they are able to climb trees. The Eurasian lynx, Lynx lynx, is found in coniferous forests of N Eurasia. As a result of hunting by humans and the general deforestation of Europe, the northern lynx is now very restricted in its European range and may be extinct in W Europe, but efforts have been made to restore it to parts of its former range.
The Canada lynx, L. canadensis, is similar in size and appearance as well as habitat to its Old World counterpart; it ranges from the northern limits of the Canadian forests to the extreme N United States. The Canada lynx may attain a length of more than 3 ft (90 cm), with a 5-in. (13-cm) tail, and may weigh up to 40 lb (18 kg). Its long fur is yellow-brown to grayish, slightly spotted with black. It has long black ear tufts and large feet, adapted to moving on deep snow. A nocturnal hunter, it preys on a variety of game, sometimes as large as deer, but is particularly dependent on the snowshoe rabbit as its staple diet. The Canada lynx population fluctuates in cycles correlated with the fluctuation of the snowshoe rabbit population. Efforts have been made to return the Canada lynx to parts of its former range in the United States (Colorado).
The bobcat, L. rufus, also known as bay lynx or wildcat, is a small North American lynx found in thickets, swamps, and rocky areas from the S of Canada to central Mexico. It has a longer tail, shorter ear tufts, and smaller feet than the Canada lynx; its coat is a redder brown and more spotted. It commonly weighs about 20 lb (9 kg), although some individuals grow much larger. It lives on a variety of small and medium-sized prey; its raids on livestock and poultry have made it a target of farmers. The Iberian lynx, or Spanish lynx L. pardinus, which once ranged over the Iberian Peninsula, is now found only in small areas in S Spain, where its population numbers about 1,000 to 1,500.
The term lynx is also used for a number of unrelated cats. The jungle cat, or jungle lynx Felis chaus, of N Africa and Asia, is more closely related to the domestic cat. It lives in a variety of habitats, especially open woodlands and scrub. The caracal, Caracal caracal, of the dry country of Africa and W Asia, is also called the Persian, African, or desert lynx.
Lynxes are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Mammalia, order Carnivora, family Felidae.

Handmade Holiday- Part 1
I think the details are what make the portraits- beards, glasses, sunglasses for Jeni and Bill who live by the ocean, and a baby in a carrier for Aaron and Leah who just had sweet baby Oliver.
And of course, the pets are part of the family and had to be included!
I purchased basic white frames from Pottery Barn to put the cross-stitch in. I think it gave the gift a more finished look that I wanted.
P.S. I know these aren't the best of pictures. Frankly, by the time I was done with the portraits I was in a hurry to get them wrapped and out the door!

Sibling Gifts 2012
Truly, one of the highlights of Christmas for both the children is the making and opening of gifts that they give each other. In fact, this tradition of making gifts has started taking hold in the family and more and more gifts are made each year (more on that to come)!
This year, Grace's gift to Harris was really a gift from the heart. She decided early in the season that she wanted to knit (knit!) Harris a gnome. I think that would be remarkable in of itself, but what really astounds me is that she just learned to knit in the fall (I don't knit, so was basically unable to help) and this was quite an ambitious undertaking. She spent hours working on the gnome, knitting on the drive to and fro from Nutcracker performances and school. He turned out darling and Harris loves him. I hope that Harris understands the love that went into the gnome and how special he really is.
Harris made Grace yarn ball bookmarks that turned out darling. We followed instructions from here. He picked out the colors and then went to town making little puffballs. Now we just have to keep them away from the cats!

Scenes from Christmas
Christmas morning
Our Christmas was wonderful. In fact, there were phrases such as, "best Christmas ever," heard around the house yesterday! We had a lovely, full Christmas Eve day filled with preparations, friends and utter excitement for Christmas! Christmas Eve was filled with dinner, church, and treasured traditions. To make the evening even more special and magical we discovered that it was snowing when we went to church!

The Nutcracker
Tonight, Grace had her final performance in the Nutcracker! She performed 8 times, in 3 different theaters and loved every bit of it. Rehearsals began at the end of September and were every single Saturday and Sunday up until Thanksgiving weekend. Bryce and I were hesitant due to the huge time commitment, but it was worth every second of it so that she could be a part of something bigger than herself, work with a group of girls toward a common goal and see where hard work and perseverance (herself and the other dancers) can get you. We are so very proud of our girl and all the hard work she put into The Nutcracker.

Favorite Things #27
This year I've done a lot of my wrapping in basic kraft paper. I love how the paper is a neutral and goes with just about any ribbon, label or embellishment. It just looks classic and pretty. This year I'm loving the labels by Rifle Stationary and the kraft paper sets them off beautifully. Perhaps the best thing about using kraft paper for wrapping is that you can use it all year long and won't have stacks and stacks of Christmas paper that you have to use next year!

Live, Learn and Try Again
Do you remember my vintage Christmas ball wreath? The one that I diligently collected Christmas balls to make? The one that took my Mom and I (and Gretchen too!) all day to make? The one that I loved a bit too much? It's fallen. Twice.
Technically, the first time wasn't a fall, it was more of a loosening since just a few balls came unglued and shattered on my stovetop*. Apparently, heat and steam do not go well with hot glue.
After that little incident we decided that over the stove was no longer a viable option. Unfortunately, we couldn't come up with a decent place to put it! We ended up replacing a painting that resides over our fireplace with a temporary mirror (Gretchen had one in her basement). I used a Command Hook because I didn't want to put another hole in our plaster walls. Unfortunately, it didn't hold and the whole wreath came crashing down! Unbelievably, it landed on a cushion and all was not lost. My Mom and I replaced a number of the balls and hung it again. This time with a screw, wire and a really tight knot!
*In case you are wondering, I had black bean soup bubbling on the stove to serve to our dear friends, Mark and Lori, who were visiting for lunch. Even though everyone involved was sure that no glass made it into the soup pot, I still think they were brave for eating it.

A Hot Chocolate Stand for Charity
In November we received a catalog from Save the Children that I most likely tossed on the recycling pile. However, Grace was intrigued and read the catalog from cover to cover and decided that she very much wanted to buy a sheep that would "supply warm wool, milk and fertilizer to improve daily life for impoverished families." A sheep is $50 and so we started brainstorming ways for Grace to come up with that sort of money. Thus, the idea of a hot chocolate stand was born!
I'm really proud of Grace and how she handled the whole operation. She took ownership of all aspects of the stand. She made the hot chocolate mix and gingerbread cookies all by herself (I did boil the water!) We felt that it was important to offer homemade cocoa and cookies and it really helped her to feel like she was working to earn the money.
We offered two types of marshmallows, whipped cream (which we ran out of!) and a candy cane on each cocoa sold.
I did send out an email to friends letting them know about the stand and they generously showed up with children in tow! At one point there was even a fairly long line! When all was said and done Grace made $87! It's enough to purchase the sheep and to purchase mosquito netting for children in Africa. It can be so hard to find opportunities for children to give to others or to charities - this turned out to be a wonderful way to do that and was such a great experience for Grace!

Battling the Bully! (Japanese: ダブルバトル!ピカチュウ・ワルビルVSペンドラー・ガマゲロゲ!! Double Battle! Pikachu & Waruvile VS Pendror & Gamageroge!!) is the 65th episode of the Best Wishes series, and the 722nd episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on February 2, 2012 and in the United States on June 9, 2012.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Standing in front of an angry Krokorok, our heroes suddenly realize they've seen this Pokémon before. Krokorok rushes to challenges its main rival, Pikachu, to a battle, but their ensuing attacks cause the Pokémon to collide, sending Pikachu and Krokorok flying.
Pikachu lands in the arms of a boy named Mick, who has never seen a Pikachu before, although it seems that his friend Sean has. Mick and Sean also know a young bully named Glenn, who wants to battle the two of them. When confronted by Glenn, Sean nervously agrees to fight, but Mick leaves abruptly, saying he'll battle them later with a powerful Pokémon like they've never seen before!
When our heroes find Pikachu and Mick, Mick says wistfully that he has never beaten Sean or Glenn at anything. He asks if he can use Pikachu to challenge them. Ash agrees, and our heroes help Mick with some training. Ash and Tepig battle Mick and Pikachu, giving Mick some pointers and improving his battle skills.
Meanwhile, Sean and Glenn have had a battle using Sean's dad's Pokémon, but Glenn wants to battle again—this time with Mick. With a bullying swagger, he demands that Sean get two more Pokémon from his dad so they can have a Double Battle. But Mick has only Pikachu.
Then who should step up but Krokorok? With Krokorok volunteering to be in Mick's party, the battle begins. Glenn refuses to listen to Sean's advice, and Mick wins the bout, but Glenn wants revenge. When Ash stops Sean, Glenn apologizes, and the three budding Trainers are friends again.
Krokorok still has a score to settle with Pikachu but is defeated. Krokorok sadly prepares to leave, but Ash asks Krokorok if it would like to go with him. The answer is a resounding yes, and our heroes again set their sights on Mistralton City, with Krokorok as the newest member of their family!

The episode continues off from the last episode where Ash and his friends are suddenly attacked by a Krokorok wearing sunglasses. Pikachu prepares to battle it, and the Krokorok immediately attacks with Crunch. Iris recognizes the Krokorok as the Sandile from the hot springs that evolved at some point. The Krokorok reveals to the gang that it has followed them through Nimbasa Town, Gear Station, Driftveil City, and Chargestone Cave, where it was revealed it was the reason a pen got caught in a Klinklang's gears, as it had tossed the pen away, unaware about the Klinklang. Iris then asks why it would follow it all the way here, and Krokorok responds by saying it wants to battle Pikachu. Ash is thrilled by this and ready to battle.
He orders Pikachu to use Iron Tail, which Krokorok avoid with Dig. It then surfaces behind Pikachu and prepares to use Crunch on it. Pikachu dodges the attack, and Krokorok fires off a Stone Edge. Ash orders Pikachu to use Electro Ball, which creates an explosion that sends both Krokorok and Pikachu flying. Pikachu then rolls down a hill, where he later ends up in the arms of a young boy named Mick, who immediately gets zapped by Pikachu's Thunderbolt upon landing. Mick then studies Pikachu, and he believes it to be a pre-evolved form of Zekrom since it used Thunderbolt, and came from the sky. He then begs the confused Pokémon to befriend him, then goes off to show his two friends Glenn and Sean. Glenn is impressed that Mick found such a rare Pokémon, and immediately takes it from him. Sean, however, confirms that the Pokémon is a Pikachu, saying that he saw one back when his family traveled to Saffron City. Glenn then asks for a battle, but Mick leaves, telling them he has to do an errand for his mom.
Meanwhile, Ash, Iris, and Cilan are all calling out for Pikachu. Then the Krokorok appears to them, also looking for Pikachu. It then senses Pikachu's presence, and the three follow it. Mick then asks if Pikachu came from Kanto, to which Pikachu happily answers to. He then asks for what moves it can use. Then a voice from out of nowhere says Pikachu also knows Quick Attack, Iron Tail, and Electro Ball. The voice came from Ash, who happily reunites with Pikachu. He, Iris, and Cilan then introduce themselves to Mick, who then introduces himself, then asks from Ash to borrow his Pikachu so he can beat Glenn and Sean in a battle. Cilan then asks for a full story. A flashback shows of Glenn and Sean battling with a Patrat and a Blitzle. Iris then says that the three of them are too young to be Trainers, but Cilan says that a make-believe battle is perfectly fine. Back in the flashback, Glenn and Sean refuse to let Mick battle with the Pokémon, and asks him to get a Pokémon for himself. He says that he'll find a rare one, and put them in their place. Soon after is when Pikachu came and zapped Mick. Iris then understands why he asked for Pikachu, to which Ash happily lets him borrow his buddy, but Cilan recommends a bit of training. As Ash wonders who to use against Pikachu, Krokorok speaks from out of nowhere, wanting to battle Pikachu and help Mick. Ash then asks of Krokorok to go easy on Mick, as this battle is his first. Iris stands by Mick, ready to assist him.
Cilan then calls the match, and Mick orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt on Krokorok, who is hesitant on this, but obeys. Krokorok is unaffected by this, shocking Mick. Ash further explains that Ground types are immune to Electric-type moves. Cilan tells Mick to observe the type compatibilities of the Pokémon before attacking. Mick understands and orders Pikachu to uses Quick Attack, which lands a blow on Krokorok. Mick is impressed with the move, but Iris tells him not to be distracted, and to continue with the battle. He is hesitant on what to do next, but Pikachu wags his tail to jog his memory. He orders an Iron Tail, but Ash commands Krokorok to use Dig, and it avoids Iron Tail. It then burrows back up right in front of Mick, knocking him down from shock, and Ash orders Krokorok to use Crunch on Pikachu. Mick has Pikachu counter with Iron Tail, which land right on Krokorok's head, knocking its sunglasses off. Krokorok panics looking for them and Ash further explains its demeanor to Mick whenever it loses its sunglasses. Krokorok puts on the sunglasses, and starts going after Pikachu in anger. Ash stops him, and decides to use Tepig next. Meanwhile, Glenn and Sean have finished a battle, with Glenn claiming victory. Sean returns an exhausted Patrat and Blitzle back to their Poké Balls.
The two boys wonder where Mick is, so Glenn goes looking for Mick, while also ordering Sean to ask his dad for stronger and cooler Pokémon. Back with Mick and Ash, they have completed training. Cilan then comments on how well Mick is doing as a Trainer, and expects him to be a good one when he is older for sure, as he is a Pokémon Connoisseur, and says his eyes don't lie. Iris reassures Mick of this by saying that Cilan is also a Gym Leader in Striaton City. Ash then asks Mick if he's excited about being a Trainer, and Mick responds by saying he is, and he wants to catch Pokémon and make friends with them. Ash tells him that his heart is essential for that. Glenn appears, asking Mick why he is here. Ash introduces himself to Glenn as Pikachu's Trainer. Glenn then asks Mick if he's ready to battle, to which he says he is ready. Sean returns with two new Pokémon: Scolipede and Seismitoad, which Ash scans with his Pokédex. Glenn likes them both, so he decides to use both of them in battle, but Sean says that it would be unfair as it would be a two-on-one battle, but Glenn says they'll have a Double Battle instead, but since Mick has only Pikachu, that cannot be done. Krokorok volunteers to assist Mick in the battle, which he accepts. Cilan says he'll pose as the referee, and judge over victory and loss since this is not an official battle. The boys agree to those terms, and Cilan calls the match. Mick starts off by having Pikachu use Thunderbolt. Glenn prepares to counterattack, but Sean stops him, instead calling out Seismitoad to block the attack, which it does successfully, shocking Mick once again. Sean tells Glenn that since Seismitoad is part Ground-type, Electric-type attacks are useless against it. Mick understands by comparing it to Krokorok, but Glenn is unaware of what Sean just said. He then commands Scolipede to use Poison Tail on Pikachu. Ash from the sidelines tell Mick to stop the attack. Mick is unsure what to do, then he calls Krokorok to do something. Krokorok decides to count that as a command for Stone Edge, and fires it off at Scolipede and Pikachu. Both Pokémon dodge the attack, but Sean says that dodging would be unnecessary if Scolipede had used Protect, but Glenn says that attacking is the only option. Mick commands Pikachu to use Electro Ball on Scolipede, and for Krokorok to use Crunch on Seismitoad. Glenn decides to attack too and orders Scolipede to use Sludge Bomb on Pikachu, and Seismitoad to use Drain Punch on Krokorok. Sean keeps telling him to have Seismitoad to attack Pikachu, but Glenn just yells at him and tells him to let himself do what he wants. Scolipede fires off Sludge Bomb, which Electro Ball easily plows through. Same goes for Seismitoad, as its Drain Punch could not counter Krokorok's Crunch. Both Pokémon fall, and Cilan calls off the match, declaring Mick as the winner. Pikachu and Krokorok high five, while Glenn gets mad for losing, then calls Mick arrogant before preparing to punch him, but Ash stops him, and Sean yells at Glenn saying he won't play with him anymore. He then wonders what he's going to do with his father's Pokémon. Cilan hands him a can filled with Pokémon food made out of Berries and medicinal plants. Glenn takes the can and feeds Seismitoad and Scolipede. He is sad for losing, but tells Mick he had fun, to which Mick agrees to. Ash has the three shake hands. Glenn apologizes to Mick and Sean, but Mick tells him not to be, since he had fun during the battle, and hopes that the three could battle again someday. Iris expects all three to be great Trainers, and Cilan is happy that he was the witness of a good make-believe battle.
Krokorok then bites on Pikachu, and Ash tries to pull it off. Pikachu helps by using Thunderbolt on Ash and Krokorok, Ash having pulled it out. He then asks Krokorok if it wants to settle the score with Pikachu, to which it agrees. Mick is confused, but Iris and Cilan tell him that Krokorok is not Ash's, and is instead Pikachu's rival. Both Pokémon prepare for battle, and Krokorok begins with a Crunch attack. Ash orders Pikachu to use Quick Attack, which lands a blow right on Krokorok's face. It fires a Stone Edge, which Pikachu dodges, but is now trapped around the stones. Krokorok digs underground, and strikes Pikachu. He regains his composure, and Krokorok prepares to attack again. Ash orders Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Mick tells him that it will be ineffective. Ash tells Pikachu to aim the Thunderbolt at Krokorok's feet, which creates a hole on the ground that Krokorok trips on. Sean is surprised to see moves used like that. Cilan tells him disadvantageous moves can be used differently to make an advantage. Ash then orders Pikachu to use Quick Attack, which lands again on Krokorok's face, while also knocking off its sunglasses. Krokorok panics looking for them and Mick tells him to finish it off, but Ash and Pikachu do nothing. Mick asks why he isn't doing anything, which Ash responds by saying that since this is a real battle, they fight fairly. Krokorok finds its sunglasses, and prepares to finish Pikachu off with Crunch. Ash orders Pikachu to counter with Iron Tail, and both the attacks collide. They then stand still and, after a short while, Krokorok falls. The boys cheer and comment on how awesome the battle was. Ash then asks Krokorok if it's alright. Krokorok gets up and walks away, depressed from having lost with Pikachu. Ash then calls Krokorok and asks it where it will go from here, then asks it if it would like to join him. Krokorok happily agrees, and Ash catches the Desert Croc Pokémon in a Poké Ball.

Gift-Giving Etiquette Reminders
As you were growing up, no doubt you tried to pay attention when your parents were teaching you about manners. Just in case you may have forgotten, keep these things in mind before you happily show up at someone's door with an armful of gifts from your kitchen:
The recipient of your food gift is not obliged to serve it immediately. Your splendid creation may not fit the menu or the moment, but that does not make it any less thoughtful.
When taking food to a large gathering, put a gift tag on your contribution. A thoughtful host will want to know who brought what.
If you don't know the food preferences or food allergies of a gift recipient, you may want to include the ingredients on the label.

Green Global Investments, Inc. Updates Investors on Its Business Strategy and Current Developments
Green Global Investments, Inc. Updates Investors on Its Business Strategy and Current Developments
MAITLAND, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Green Global Investments, Inc. (OTCBB:GGIX), a fully integrated real estate investment, development and operating company focused on senior housing management, updates shareholders on its business strategy and other current developments.
Green Global Investments currently has 1,000 units in 10 senior housing facilities in Ontario, Canada, and expects to grow rapidly to 3,000 to 5,000 units for which it will provide management and other services. The Company also has under contract two acquisitions of properties in Florida, with approximately 120 units of assisted living.
Additionally, Green Global has two separate properties under contract in Florida that it intends to develop, each of which is expected to consist of 120 units of assisted living and memory care. The Company will operate, and have an ownership interest in, each of them. The development projects will be partially funded through the Company's EB5 Regional Center. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service EB-5 Visa Program provides an international investor and his/her family with a Green Card after the company in which they invest creates employment from the invested capital.
Green Global's acquisition and development strategy is a central component of its mission to become a leading seniors housing management company with a resident-centric service model. As part of its growth strategy, the Company expects to continue to identify compatible acquisitions, development opportunities and mergers, joint ventures and financing channels for seniors housing properties, which will provide further opportunities to manage seniors housing facilities. Green Global has also filed to change its corporate name to "LivingVentures" with the state of Florida; it then expects to file a name and trading symbol change with FINRA as well.
Richard Asta, President and CEO of Green Global Investments, Inc. said, "Our two recent acquisitions, CommerCenters, LLC, a real estate and capital markets company, and International Care Management Services, a leading seniors housing management company ("ICMS", operating under our branding as "LivingVentures Management"), position us as an emerging leader in the senior living industry. Our filing with the state of Florida for a name change to "LivingVentures" more clearly reflects our Company's business operations and ongoing corporate growth strategy."
"We believe our hospitality model, experienced operations management team, resident-centric service approach, and the capital market strength provided by our Orlando EB5 Regional Center Investments, give us clear advantages as we implement our growth strategy. We expect these unique characteristics will enable Green Global to fulfill its mission of becoming a premier real estate company in the seniors housing business," Mr. Asta concluded.
The Company's Asian subsidiary, GGI (Asia) Ltd., which supports Orlando EB5 Regional Center Investments, provides access to investment capital to fund its various projects.
Recent Developments and Repositioning of the Company's Business
As part of the Green Global's strategy to expand its business focus, it acquired CommerCenters, LLC, in March 2012, and 2040177 Ontario Limited ("ICMS-Canada"), and International Care Management Services Ltd. ("ICMS-US"), in September 2012 (collectively, "ICMS"). CommerCenters is a fully integrated, real estate investment and development firm, headquartered in Orlando, Florida, with clients and joint venture partners in properties located principally in Central Florida. ICMS manages, operates and provides services to approximately 1,000 units in 10 senior housing facilities in Ontario, Canada. Its management team is highly experienced in the successful operation of senior living facilities.
In June 2012, the company sold China Clean and Renewable Energy Limited, and its related businesses, which provided consulting services, equipment and other related environmental protection services and projects in China, to Power Pacific Holdings Limited. As a result of this divestiture, the Company is now focused solely on the acquisition, development and operation of seniors housing properties.
About Green Global Investments, Inc.
Green Global is a fully integrated real estate investment, development and operating company focused on senior housing management. Its hospitality model and resident-centric approach provide the company advantages in the senior living sector. The company currently operates and provides services to senior housing projects in Canada and Florida and plans to develop, own and manage assets in markets across the U.S. and Canada. Green Global has extensive expertise in senior housing management, commercial real estate development and capital markets financing. Its recent acquisition of International Care Management Services ("ICMS"), a company that manages 1,000 senior housing units in Ontario, Canada, brings a robust pipeline of attractive acquisition and management opportunities. The company also provides EB-5 equity capital and debt financing. To learn more about the company, visit its website, www.greenglobalinvestments.com.
