This credential is intended to build on lower-level coursework and to present a consistent professional standard of education and qualifications via specialized courses. The core of the program is built on the principles of ABA, an evidence-based, scientific approach to changing human behaviour. The DABA credential is the only bachelor-level program in BC that is approved by both the Behaviour Analyst Certification Board® (BACB) and the Teacher Qualification Service (TQS). These approvals make the credential highly attractive to professionals aspiring to become Board Certified Assistant Behaviour Analysts (BCaBA) and/or K-to-12 teachers working toward a higher pay level and specialized knowledge base. As a provider of a BACB verified course sequence (VCS), please go to the BACB website and view the published VCS Pass Rates. You can find the pass rates of previous Douglas College students by selecting the BCaBA pass rate information. Should you see a gap in the data, note that pass-rate data are not published for sequences with fewer than six first-time candidates in a single year. The DABA program has partnered with Simon Fraser University (SFU) to offer a BA Psychology Major with Applied Behaviour Analysis Concentration DABA courses can also be used as specialty or elective courses within a number of degree programs at Douglas College, such as the BA in Applied Psychology, as well as other institutions, including the University of Calgary, University of Victoria and Simon Fraser University. NOTE: International students are not currently eligible for this program. For more information, contact Douglas College International. curriculum framework This program is offered evenings across three semesters and must be completed in one academic year. Some courses are online, but students must be available for in-person courses each semester. Students must take all DABA program courses offered in a semester unless they have approved transfer credit.

I was tasked with writing a short bio about myself and Random Wine Company, and I intend to keep it short.
New York City, 1983, I was born. I spent several years there before moving (with my family) to San Diego, where I grew up, went to college, and began my career in the wine business.
Where does the wine thing come from, you might ask? My father was in the wine business for a long time, working in retail and as a broker/distributor for wines from all over the world. I was fortunate to grow up with winemakers visiting San Diego fairly often, which obviously had an effect on me. My mother is a fantastic cook, classically trained, and as such I was lucky to grow up in a household that considered wine to be a food.
I worked in wine retail, distribution, and hospitality for about 15 years, which has shaped my views on wine and indeed, my palate. To this day I still work for a distributor in the Portland Metro area, representing wineries from all over the world. The network of relationships I've built has allowed Random Wine Company to appear on the shelves and wine lists of some of Portland's finest establishments.
Random Wine Company was born of my experiences during harvest 2011, where I worked at Kramer Vineyards as their intern. Perhaps frustrated with my endless questions, Trudy Kramer suggested that the next year I buy some grapes and make my own wine. What a great idea, right?
In 2012 I followed her advice and bought some Tempranillo and Petit Verdot grapes from Washington, launching Random Wine Company. Each year brings new grapes and new knowledge. My goal is simple, to showcase the great grapes we have here in the Pacific Northwest while doing something a little bit different from most people. For example, at Random Wine Company we avoid using new oak barrels, employ various percentages of whole-cluster fermentations, and work with somewhat obscure varieties. Our wine making philosophy is to use as gentle a hand as possible, working with what Nature gives us.
Thank you for your support in my venture, I do hope you enjoy my wines. Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments!

A variety of seafood certification schemes have been developed over the past decade, all claiming that the fish that they certify have been sustainably caught or farmed and that they are the best option for consumers to purchase.
However, Greenpeace is of the opinion that no fully credible certification system for sustainable seafood currently exists. At present, a seafood label can at best help to identify the best available choice from a particular fishery. It is certainly not an indicator of whether the purchase of such products is the best choice in absolute terms.
Currently seafood certification programmes fall short of many of these requirements. Some key seafood certification programmes have been assessed in more detail:

TV on the Radio is back with the promise of a new album, a tour, and an ironically upbeat new single that reminds you that in the case of heartbreak, the healthy thing to do is suppress.
"Happy Idiot" is an unsurprisingly great song from a great band—one we haven't heard anything new from since the 2011 death of bassist and producer Gerard Smith. I, for one, am amped to hear new stuff from them. This first track off Seeds is not much of a departure from their usual style of expressing their lyrics with a bit of a wink, played over rollicking riffs that seem a little too positive for the sentiment. It sounds a little poppier than usual, but TV on the Radio has such a surprising (albeit consistent) sound that I don't see that as a bad thing. I can't wait to hear more.
Seeds is out November 18 on Harvest Records. Meanwhile, I dare you to only listen to "Happy Idiot" once. [Spotify, iTunes via Pitchfork]

19 Acre Lehigh County
Farm SOLD
Beautiful 2 Story Brick Colonial House Nestled in the Trees
- Total PrivacyLong, Paved Driveway - Spring Fed Stream
- 4 Miles West of FogelsvilleSpectacular Hilltop Setting
- Wonderful Mix of Open & Wooded Areas
Located in Weisenberg Township, this
charming 2 story, brick colonial is perched upon a
magnificent hilltop setting overlooking some of the most
scenic surroundings in all of Lehigh County. From the
picturesque treed entryway, follow the long paved driveway
across a little bridge over the stream and gently ascend to
the residence. The 2,568 sq. ft. custom house was built in
1993 and is in excellent condition throughout. The home is
nestled in the trees in a beautiful, park like setting. A
paver walkway leads to the brick front porch and opens into
the center hall. The main floor consists of a formal living
room, dining room, family room with masonry brick fireplace
& brick chimney, kitchen, half bath, and Florida room. The
house has an ideal floor plan for entertaining and holiday
festivities. The master suite features a large master
bedroom, custom bath with shower stall, jetted tub, and walk
in closet. Two additional bedrooms, full bath, and laundry
closet complete the second floor. Many of the rooms have
custom hardwood floors that came from red oak trees on the
farm. Much of the trim is from white oak trees that grew on
the farm. The home has a 2 car garage with an entrance to
the basement. The entire basement, including the area below
the garage can be used as a workshop, storage, or future
finished space. There is plumbing installed for an
additional full bath in the lower level. On either side of
the Florida room, there are 2 large patios; one with pavers
and one with concrete. Behind the patios, is an exceptional,
curved, all brick retaining wall. To the left of the parking
area and situated amid the trees, there is a 30x25 pole barn
with electricity and in excellent condition. It is ideal for
storing your tractor and other vehicles. There are beautiful
views from every window in the house from which you can
enjoy the ever changing tapestry of colors and seasons. You
are truly living amongst nature. The 19 acres
consists of a splendid mix of open and wooded areas with
many mature, hardwood trees. There are several productive
grapevines which can be used for wine making. The entire
property is traversed with nature trails, most of which you
can drive a vehicle on. There are gorgeous views from almost
everywhere along the trails. At the lower portion of
the property, you will find a spring fed, ever flowing
stream which parallels the road. There is a historic, circa
1770 log house which was built while Pennsylvania was an
English colony. The log house requires a restoration, but
would be an ideal studio or home office. A small, historic
workshop building is near the log house and can serve many
purposes. There is significant blacktop frontage along Boger
Stadt Road. The land is enrolled in PA Act 319. The property
is located just 4 miles west of Fogelsville and not far from
the I-78 interchange. A farm with this one of a
kind, idyllic setting is what buyers often picture, but is
nearly impossible to find. This is a rare example of privacy
and country living at its finest.
Price: $565,000

How to Increase Body Temperature
Explore this Article Handling a Severe Case Keeping Warm in Cold Weather Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References
There are 7 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
Whether you have been exposed to low temperatures or you are caring for someone with hypothermia, you may need to know how to increase body temperature. The correct food and drink, movement, and attire can raise your body temperature. If you are in dangerously cold temperatures, it is important to warm up to avoid hypothermia. If you are deliberately trying to raise your temperature in warm situations, you should be careful not to raise your temperature too high, since this can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
Handling a Severe Case
1Recognize the signs of hypothermia. When your body is losing heat faster than it can create heat, you run the risk of becoming hypothermic; when your body temperature slips below 95 degrees Fahrenheit, your organs can no longer function normally.[1] Hypothermia can be a serious risk to your life and your health. You can lose fingers, toes, and limbs from the cold, and you might suffer from lasting damage. If you think that you might be growing hypothermic, then your situation is severe, and you need to increase your body temperature as quickly as possible.
- In mild hypothermia, you may notice: shivering, dizziness, hunger, nausea, rapid breathing, slight confusion and lack of coordination, trouble speaking, fatigue, and a quickened pulse.
- As hypothermia becomes more severe, you may notice that many of the mild symptoms become more severe. You may stop shivering; mumble or slur your speech; feel drowsy; make poor decisions, such as trying to remove warm clothes; feel a worrying lack of concern; experience a weak pulse and shallow breathing; slowly lose consciousness; and ultimately, if treatment (and proper re-warming) is not received quickly enough, die.[2]
2Get out of the cold. If your body temperature is dropping dramatically, you need to get out of the cold. If you are outdoors, find a warm room or shelter.
- Even getting out of the path of the wind can help. Try taking cover behind a wall or other large object if you cannot get into a building.
3Remove wet clothes. If your clothes are wet, then remove them and put on some dry clothes. Pile on as many warm, insulating layers as possible - including the head and neck. Cut away someone's clothes, if necessary, to keep them from moving too much.
- Ensure that you have warm and dry clothing to put on before removing wet clothing.
4Rely on skin-to-skin contact. If you can't get indoors, curl up with another person under loose, dry layers of blankets or clothing. This can be one of the most effective ways to quickly stabilize and raise your body heat.[3]
5Warm the center of the body first. Your extremities - hands, feet, fingers, toes - are usually the first parts of your body to get cold, but the situation is most severe when the cold spreads to your core. Warm your torso, your belly, and your groin to stabilize your body temperature and get your heart pumping. The warm blood should radiate out through your veins from your core.
- Hold your extremities against your core. Place your hands under your armpits or between your thighs. Curl up in the fetal position so that you trap heat between your torso and your legs; try to tuck your feet in so that they don't get too cold.[4]
Keeping Warm in Cold Weather
1Put on additional clothing. Layering your clothing helps to hold in your body heat, which will raise your overall temperature. For this reason, simply putting on more clothing will raise your body temperature. Deliberately layering your clothes to maximize heat retention will also help. For example, try layering your clothes in this way:
- Undershirt
- Overshirt
- Sweater
- Light jacket
- Heavy coat
2Put on a hat, mittens, and a scarf. A significant amount of body heat radiates out from your head; wearing a hat or other covering can help retain that heat. Similarly, mittens and a scarf will help retain heat in your hands and chest, raising your overall body temperature.
- Mittens are often preferable in very cold climates, as they allow the heat from each finger to warm the entire end of the mitten.
3Use blankets or other materials instead of clothing. If you really need to raise your body temperature because of cold weather or some other reason, and you don't have extra clothing, you can wrap blankets or towels around yourself instead. If you don't even have any blankets or towels, you can improvise using other materials.
- Try wrapping yourself in layers of materials such as newspaper or plastic trash bags.
- If you are in nature, pine boughs are very insulating as the needles trap air when layered upon each other.
4Eat a meal. Digestion in general raises your temperature as your body metabolizes food.[5] Eating any food at all, for this reason, will raise your temperature at least a small amount.
- Note also that your body's natural efforts to warm up in the cold raise your metabolism significantly. That is, you burn far more calories than you normally do, when you are not trying to warm your body.
- Therefore, consuming food also helps to ensure you have the energy necessary to fuel your body's innate warming processes.
5Consume hot foods and warm, sweet liquids.[6] Having foods and drinks that are already warm will raise your body temperature even more than digestion alone will, because your body will absorb the heat from them. Any hot meal will help, but warm, sweet drinks can be prepared quickly and the sugar will give your body an added boost of calories to digest (and to fuel thermostat). Good choices include:
- Coffee
- Tea
- Hot chocolate
- Warm milk with or without honey
- Hot broth
- Soup
6Keep moving. The act of movement keeps your body temperature stable, and exercise can partially counteract the cooling effects of a cold environment.[7] Walk or run; do jumping jacks or other dynamic stretches; run sprints or do cartwheels. The most important thing is that you don't stop for longer than a few seconds. You may find that when you stop moving, the cold sets in.
- Be cautious. If someone is suffering from severe hypothermia, a sudden or jarring movement could trigger cardiac arrest. Don't massage or rub a person, and don't try to shake them warm.
- Only use movement as a strategy if the affected person is not severely cold and at risk of hypothermia.
Community Q&A
QuestionWhat if you are in a survival situation with limited supplies?Community AnswerThe goal is to get inside a dry, enclosed space as soon as possible. Build a shelter from branches or dig out a cave from packed snow.
QuestionHow does a low salt diet affect core temperature?Community AnswerPeople on low sodium diets are at higher risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion due to sweating. If this happens to you and a medical condition prevents you from replenishing salts through food, seek immediate medical attention. If you have other concerns about your diet and core temperature, consult your doctor.
QuestionHow does warming up increase the amount of oxygen in my body?Community AnswerIt pumps the blood around the body, which gets oxygen around faster.
QuestionHow do I raise my body temperature to fake a fever?Community AnswerThe easiest way to fake a high temperature is to heat the thermometer, by holding it tightly in your hand or against something warm for a few minutes. Drinking a steaming cup of tea will fool an oral thermometer, but only for a few minutes.
QuestionHow can I warm up faster in cold water?Community AnswerMove around a lot. Swim some laps or just tread water vigorously. The movement will help you feel warmer faster.
QuestionHow do I produce body heat?Community AnswerMovement generates heat.
QuestionHow can I raise the body temperature of someone with mild hypothermia?Community AnswerUse a blanket to cover them so that they warm up slowly. Then when they are warmed up enough, transfer them to a warm area.
QuestionHow do I stay warm in winter without the help of clothes?Community AnswerThe best way to keep warm without clothes in winter is exercise. This will increase your body temperature.
QuestionWhat do I do to keep myself at a high temperature in everyday life?Community AnswerA slightly low temperature reading is usually not a concern. Hypothyroidism can reduce your ability to handle cold temperatures; ask a doctor to conduct tests if you think you might have this condition. Be skeptical about treatments for "Wilson's temperature syndrome," which the medical community considers quack medicine.
QuestionHow can I warm up when I am already wearing a sweatshirt and I'm out of layers?Community AnswerThings that will work are: Movement, body to body contact hugging yourself or even just tea or hot chocolate!
What is the cause of low temperature in my body?
What do I do if I'm freezing in the same room with people who are warm?
What do I do if my body temperature is low after trying everything to make it higher?
- If a person is severely hypothermic, quick warming is not advised. This is because the cold blood recirculating to the heart can cause the heart to stop. Try to raise the temperature in the surrounding area (cab of vehicle, cabin, etc.) and warm the person slowly but methodically. If possible, get the person to the hospital and/or call EMS.

Article SummaryX
To increase your body temperature in an emergency, start by taking shelter inside. Or, if there are no buildings, hide behind a wall or large object to get out of the wind. If your clothes are wet, take them off, since this will lower your temperature. Then, pile on as many warm layers of clothing as you can. Prioritize your torso, belly, and groin to keep your major organs warm. If you're with someone else, huddle close to them under loose, dry blankets or clothing so you can share their heat. If you're alone, curl into a fetal position and place your hands under your armpits or between your thighs to keep them warm.

WRONG NOTES: a blog of ear reverence
Wrong Notes collects posts on music, art, culture and fun stuff. Also included: news about the Ear Reverends.
On music appreciation
If you love music, you play music.
The more you love music, the more you want to actively make it heard—heard by yourself and by potentially others and everyone.
A quick aside: let us briefly note that this is the essence of any "music business"—give people a way to participate in making music they love, that is so great / convenient / novel / special / sharable / fun / etc., that they will pay for the opportunity. . .
So, we push the play button or hire a musician to play a party or are musicians ourselves. Even most passively (we enter a room where someone else has put on music, or we walk past a musician on the street, etc.), when we notice and respond to the sound, we become co-creators of the music. If we like it, our ears perk up, and we may clap along, nod our heads to the rhythm, dance, sing our favorite phrase, or get others to hear it as well—we are playing a part in the music too.
As a musician, when I hear music I love, I not only want to play it on the stereo or join with it in concert, but I also want to play music on musical instruments. Sometimes that means playing the same music I've heard—for example, hearing a song and then learning to play it on guitar. But, more typically, I want to create new music, influenced by what I've heard.
So, given all of this, I always have a question about how much to talk or write about the music I love. I always want other people to know that music too, but talking and writing about music, in words, feels so inadequate compared with what I want to say in music. I generally find it pretty frustrating to talk or write about music.
But, I think I am going to write about the music I love a bit more here on Wrong Notes, because I see a need to get the word out. I wish I were productive musically in a way that I could quickly and fully say what I want about other's music through my own music. My ideal would be to be like Jimi Hendrix performing "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" on June 4th, 1967—only three days after the Beatles' album came out.
(Here's a video of Hendrix playing the song a bit later that year, in December '67:)
Some more thoughts on writing about music
What I hope to write will not be music criticism, but will be music appreciation.
I sometimes enjoy music criticism, but I basically find its goals to be, very frequently, largely un-musical! In the larger scheme of things, that's OK in that music criticism can be great writing and one can enjoy it as such. But, at its musical-worst, music criticism is writing that convinces you to not play music. At its worst, it suggests that thinking and talking and writing about music are more important and/or better than playing music.
And, I don't have any interest in producing music criticism in that sense.
As an example of writing about music I find encouraging, I can point to Tom Moon's 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die. You can enjoy his writing as writing, but Tom's writing constantly makes me want to stop reading and start playing!
So, as I write more about music, I'll point back to here as my footnote about why I'm not reviewing or critiquing the music I am writing about. For me, the goal of the writing is music appreciation—play music now!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard rugby team went 1-2 at the West Point All-Academy Sevens Tournament on Saturday. Juniors Jenny Kronish and Sarah Lipson, as well as freshman Arianna Romero each scored two tries for the Crimson (16-6) at Anderson Rugby Complex. Sophomore Delia Hellander, freshman Milan Roberts, and junior Susie Clements also contributed to Harvard's score sheet. The Crimson fell in the opening contest to Army, 43-7, before shutting out Mount Saint Mary's, 39-0. Harvard then dropped a 24-7 decision to Dartmouth in a semifinal contest.
Army (Pool Play)
Army scored the opening try and converted, but Harvard answered right back with a try from Delia Hellander and conversion from Milan Roberts. The Black Knights regained the lead off a penalty kick and controlled play until the final whistle, 43-7.
Mount Saint Mary's (Pool Play)
Sarah Lipson got things rolling for the Crimson with a pair of early tries. Arianna Romero built upon the lead when she picked up MSM's ball and touched down, 15-0. Jenny Kronish added five more points after receiving an offload pass from Maya Learned and scoring on the outside. Roberts pushed the score to 27-0 at the half by stealing the ball, scoring a try at center, and converting. After the break, Kronish delivered her second try of the day on a similar play. Harvard converted the kick and Susie Clements added the final points in a 39-0 victory shortly after.
Dartmouth (Semifinal)
The Big Green got on the board first and was able to build a 19-0 lead at the intermission. Dartmouth added another try, before Romero tallied Harvard's only try of the match and Clements converted prior to the conclusion of the match, 24-7.
What's Next?
Harvard awaits the bid announcements for the USA Rugby Collegiate Sevens Championship. The tournament will be hosted on Saturday, May 19, in Glendale, Colo.

Granville, Ohio – Junior Rachel Fine began her 2018-19 season with palpable momentum on Sunday by finishing second out of 69 golfers and leading the Transylvania women's golf team to a second-place team finish at the season-opening Lynn Schweizer Invitational at the Denison Golf Club on Sunday afternoon.
Playing in a two-round event which began on Saturday before the final few holes were halted by rain, Fine and the Pioneers played over 18 holes on Sunday to finish the two-round event with a rousing performance. The junior turned in a consistent set of rounds, firing a pair of four-over par 75 scores in rounds one and two to finish two strokes back of individual champion Rachele Miller of Depauw.
Fine had plenty of help from her Pioneer teammates en route to recording a second-place finish as a team out of 11 participating schools. Senior Meredith Moir carded a two-round score of 158 to finish in a four-way tie for eighth place along with junior Rebecca Fine, who also turned in a 158.
Transylvania women's golf head coach Tyrus York was enthused with his team's showing out of the 2018-19 gate after posting the best season in program history last year. "Our team showed a lot this weekend of what they can become this season," analyzed York. "We are very proud of our finish but we can still look at our results and see plenty of room for improvement.
Consistency was the theme of the weekend for Transylvania as all five members who competed as a team finished in the top-21 of the field. Senior Jenna Soderling finished in a tie for 18th among individuals with a two-round score of 165, improving upon her round one score by 11 strokes. Junior Lexie Lamar improved upon her first-round showing by four strokes to finish with a two-round 166.
The weekend performance was a continuation of solid gameplay in 2018 from Rachel Fine, who captured the Lexington Women's City Championship during the collegiate offseason. "I'm very happy for Rachel because she showed some incredible poise down the stretch," said York. "Seeing her continue her great play from the summer is also very exciting."
The Pioneers will aim to continue their strong start as they head to Memphis, Tennessee on Saturday, September 8 and Sunday, September 9 for the Rhodes Classic at The Links at Galloway.

GMD & Robo running together
Something might be stanky between the two but as noted in this previous article, saying IT'S SO OVER!!! between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes is a waste of time. And very In Touch Weekly.
In Touch Weekly pronounced them over before Little Sci was even born. Please.
So no, it's nowhere near over. It won't be for a while.
The GMD was back in Australia this weekend and was photographed running with his wife through a park in Melbourne. Katie even complied when ordered to crack half a smile.
When they're running they look almost the same height. This is because he runs ahead, she slouches, and he wears long vertical white lines to elongate his body. No wonder he's in good spirits.
It was a Tall Day. Looking tall is like Fried Rice for Tom.

No sign of thawing in this cold war of words / Russian Nobelist, revolutionaries' daughter write dueling accounts of alliance gone awry
She is the granddaughter of one of Russia's most admired writers, daughter of socialists imprisoned during the Bolshevik Revolution, a writer and painter now living in San Francisco.
He is one of the greatest writers of all time, an unbreakable voice against communism who won the Nobel Prize in literature and spent 20 years in forced exile before returning to Russia a decade ago.
Olga Andreyev Carlisle and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn met in Moscow in 1967. The KGB had seized his manuscripts, and she agreed to get smuggled copies of "The First Circle" and "The Gulag Archipelago" published in the West.
The rest is history, as Solzhenitsyn's words exposed the atrocities of the Soviet system and contributed to the end of the Cold War. But that fateful meeting decades ago eventually started another battle: a literary duel -- part spy thriller, part history lesson -- that remains as cold and bitter as the air that enveloped Solzhenitsyn and Carlisle when they sealed their deal on a dark Moscow night.
The public unraveling began more than 20 years ago, when Solzhenitsyn first accused Carlisle of being motivated only by profit and personal acclaim. He wrote a tell-all memoir. Then she wrote one. He continued his verbal attacks. She filed a libel lawsuit. In the years that followed, there appeared to be a truce.
It was only temporary.
The bearded Russian master, now 85, again has published works that criticize Carlisle and others in the West who reportedly helped him. And the 73-year-old Carlisle, charming but unflinching, is fighting back with her own memoir detailing her dealings with Solzhenitsyn, to be published this spring on the master's home turf.
The latest round in the literary tete-a-tete was ignited by essays published in the prestigious Russian language literary magazine Novy Mir -- translated for Carlisle by the Hoover Institution at Stanford, which recently acquired her papers for its vast Russian archive.
In the essays, Solzhenitsyn takes aim at Carlisle's motives, work and character.
A prime accusation is that Carlisle allowed "butchered translations" to be published.
"Carlisle flung my ('First Circle') to be stamped upon, befouled and derided," Solzhenitsyn wrote in an essay, "A Small Seed Fell Between Two Millstones," which has not been published in the United States but is expected to be released in book form in Russia.
"They cared only about profit, not about the quality of translation," he continued. "I was dismayed. I had the translations checked. My God, is this a translation? Color lost, flow of conversations cut; very often adjectives, whole expressions, meaningful details, totally lost; and of course, no understanding of rhythm. ... At the same time, she considers that she was a monumental help in establishing my name."
He challenged the deal she struck with Harper & Row in 1967 for worldwide publishing rights to "The First Circle" and later, for "Gulag," and asserted he entrusted her only with American publication rights.
She says flatly, "He is lying." He asked her to be his trustee to oversee international publication of the two masterpieces, she says.
He believes her delay in getting "Gulag" translated and published seriously weakened his position against Soviet authorities. She says the delay was his doing, that he was slow in sending the coded message to signal it was time to publish.
He rues the day he met Carlisle, saying, "I should have never met with Olga Carlisle. If I had entrusted (my works) to the very first Western tourist I met on a street in Moscow, probably the result would not have been much worse."
He comments, too, on Carlisle's appearance.
"We were shocked by her white stockings with arrows, never before seen in the Soviet Union," he wrote, recounting their clandestine meeting in a Moscow apartment. "It looked like she was speaking not with her hands, but with her legs; as though she expressed herself not with facial mimicry, not with gestures, but with her legs in white stockings."
And the man who survived Stalin's prison camps and spent decades lucidly detailing Soviet tyranny deviates from his devastating clarity and austerity when he writes: "I wanted to call her a bad Russian word."
Carlisle, who has been married for 53 years to Henry Carlisle, a San Francisco native and former book editor and novelist who helped her shepherd Solzhenitsyn's books to press, first heard of the "Seed" screeds last summer when a Russian film crew came to San Francisco to interview her for a documentary on Solzhenitsyn. The essays were published in 1998 but remained unknown in the West. She responded to the news of the essays with anger and disbelief. She had thought the war of words was over.
Sitting on a sofa in her apartment on Russian Hill, she jokes: "Maybe he remembers things differently because he was so mesmerized by my legs and the white stockings. That is what we were wearing. It was the '60s!"
Jokes aside, Carlisle -- author of five books -- has found herself haunted and maddened by a man a world away; a man she looked up to like her own grandfather, the writer Leonid Andreyev; a man whose role in history and mark on literature is unchallenged. At a time when she would rather be enjoying life in San Francisco, painting and writing, she is reliving a tumultuous chapter.
"It's absolutely horrific what he says about me, painting me as a tart in white stockings, saying that I deal in dissident literature for personal gain, " Carlisle says. "Much of this is very painful. Nothing would have caused me to revisit the past, except to clear my name. Having my book published in Russia is essential because Solzhenitsyn remains a very powerful voice. He would always have the last word unless I would be able to present my story."
Her voice rising, she continues, "The accusations are so ugly and unwarranted. He says we were out for profit. I think Henry and I made $11,000 over seven years, jointly. We took no earnings at all for 'Gulag,' and the earnings for the book turned out to be colossal. We found a translator, a publisher, hired an attorney, had to travel or arrange for others to travel to Paris and Moscow for rendezvous. All done in the utmost secrecy, which was of central consideration because had we been found out, it would have been horrific for Solzhenitsyn, who might have been arrested, and the KGB would have paid attention to my own relatives and Solzhenitsyn's friends."
All of her records can be verified through her archive at the Hoover Institution, she says. "Any scholar is welcome to go there." The Hoover Institution does not take a position. One of its three distinguished fellows - - along with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher -- is Solzhenitsyn.
Solzhenitsyn, who spent 20 years in exile in Vermont, where he wrote and spoke out against what he saw as the empty materialism and lowbrow, complacent culture of America, returned to Russia in May 1994. He lives in a home near Moscow with his second wife, Natalya.
In 2001, he published "Two Hundred Years Together," a history of Russian- Jewish relations. More recently, he was given a talk show on Russian television, where he delivered lofty monologues and was described by one television critic as a cross between Charlie Rose and Moses.
Stephan Solzhenitsyn, an urban planner who lives in New York, responded in a telephone interview Saturday for his father, who could not be reached for comment. Without further discrediting Carlisle, he defended his father and said that "much has been lost in translation ... not lost in a language translation between two people, but between two worlds."
Carlisle's world was filled with "commercial business issues," Stephan Solzhenitsyn says. Delays occurred "whether because she was negotiating with publishers, lawyers, translators or for whatever reason." To his father, delays for commercial reasons were inconceivable when publication of his works "meant the difference, literally, between life and death for people taking risks every day in fighting the Soviet regime."
"From inside the USSR, the view was, 'What possible commercial complications could be more important?' "
Stephan Solzhenitsyn, born in Moscow and reared in Vermont, says Carlisle was given access to his father because of her family history.
"My father had great respect for Ms. Carlisle's literary and family heritage, but the facts are salient: It's not like she discovered Solzhenitsyn. 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' had already been published, in 1962. In spring of 1968, he asked her to translate 'The Gulag Archipelago.' By summer 1973, it was not done. I think that in the ('Seed' memoir), my father is angry, but he also thinks himself a fool for not understanding how the Western world works. There are a lot of things he admits he didn't understand. "
State librarian and California historian Kevin Starr, who knows Olga and Henry Carlisle and their relationship to Solzhenitsyn, says the war of words is not uncommon in literary circles.
"I know that Olga risked a lot to help make Solzhenitsyn a household name, " Starr says. "She is devoted to Russian culture and civilization, and her family has a long record of resistance to tyranny."
Solzhenitsyn first criticized the Carlisles in print in his 1975 memoir, "The Oak and the Calf." The book detailed his life as a dissident and the events leading to exile. It included characterizations of the Carlisles as venal and soulless.
A review of "The Oak and the Calf" by The Chronicle at the time called the memoir "quite ugly" and said: "Solzhenitsyn has an inexhaustible supply of contempt. The fat West gets its usual lumps, even as Solzhenitsyn acknowledges the fact that our engines of publicity saved careers and lives."
Carlisle thought she had to respond to "The Oak and the Calf." Her memoir, "Solzhenitsyn and the Secret Circle," was published in 1978 and records their seven-year working relationship, from their auspicious start to their slow falling out. Shortly after "Secret Circle" was published, the Carlisles took their case a step further: They filed a $2 million libel suit against Solzhenitsyn. They thought the libel and invasion of privacy suit filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco would be their final salvo.
"We lost the case because it came down to his right to free speech," Henry Carlisle says. "But we felt that we won on grounds that it slowed him down and nothing much happened for two decades after. Now, though, it's happening again."
After hearing about Solzhenitsyn's latest memoir, Carlisle was again faced with a choice of silence or defense. She made up her mind to get the 1978 book published for the first time in Russia.
The book is to include a new prologue and details that could not be provided at the time, for fear of jeopardizing the safety of those involved. She names, for example, her father as the secret emissary who smuggled microfilm of "The First Circle" out of the Soviet Union in his coat pockets. Her brother is named as having smuggled the manuscript of "Gulag" to the West.
She writes in the prologue: "This book is my account of (our first meeting), and of what happened during the seven years of my husband's and my engagement with Solzhenitsyn: the immediate international triumph of 'The First Circle,' Solzhenitsyn's initial delight, his further entrusting to us an even greater work, one carrying far greater risk to him should our involvement become known: 'The Gulag Archipelago.' Then, little by little, we became aware of Solzhenitsyn's mounting mistrust, and of his maneuvers to ignore or break the contractual agreements we had made in his name and with his approval."
British writer D.M. Thomas, a Solzhenitsyn biographer whose work "Alexander Solzhenitsyn: A Century in His Life" was published in 1998, describes Solzhenitsyn's quarrels as complex and "always labyrinthine."
"Olga Carlisle, whose family were moderate socialists and revolutionaries, inevitably differs in her views from the nationalist, fairly right-wing and highly religious Solzhenitsyn," Thomas says. "So perhaps some sort of falling- out was almost inevitable."
Thomas sees the dispute as reflective of Solzhenitsyn's personality: "He had to have an aggressive personality in order to survive and conquer against the Politburo and KGB. That aggression doesn't stop at the border between foe and friend."
Carlisle thinks that Solzhenitsyn continues to publish works that are critical of her because she refused to cave in and published her own account of their dealings. Despite the difficulties spanning decades, however, she vividly remembers their first meeting.
"We walked down a street that was completely deserted," she recalls. "Then he spoke, and what he said left me limp. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was asking me to take charge of the publication in the West of the novel the KGB had 'arrested.' It was called 'The First Circle.' "
There's a cautionary part in this tale, she says: "When you take on important projects, including writing books or trying to make a difference politically, you have to be prepared for all sorts of unforeseen circumstances. "
Asked whether she would have done things differently, she pauses before responding.
"The books had to be published, and published in a way that made a difference. First the West started reading him, and then he was given the Nobel Prize. Knowing what we know now and living through the sorrow, we still would have done it, because these are books that transcend the personal."

Forthcoming Actions Days
South Shields Conservatives would like to invite you to join the campaign days in the constituency being held on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th April. Even if you have only 30 minutes to spare your help would be immensely appreciated. We are meeting both days at 10.30am in the Next Car Park which is on Waterloo Place, South Shields (two mins from South Shields Metro). Help us with our last big push over the next seven days.
Regeneration in Frederick St
Yesterday I was in Frederick St meeting local businesses and speaking with shoppers. If you've been down Frederick St recently you'll know half of the street is boarded up. It's a long way from the thriving high street I vividly remember visiting as a child so my parents could pop into Hammonds Upholsterers and the Curiosity Shop. Some of the businesses have moved further up the road but some have just shut down. As the street awaits news of the timeline for the proposed regeneration - which includes several new homes - fate hangs in the balance for many of the remaining shops, who through decreased footfall are really struggling to survive. Frederick St is in the heart of the town. It's community diverse and local businesses supportive to each other. I hope everything will be done to push through the regeneration as swiftly as possible - it is a community we shouldn't allow to fall into our history.

Emma Pidding, Chairman of the Conservative Convention and Adam Afriyie, MP for Windsor joined me on the campaign trail. As support seems to be growing we are just anxious to try to meet and speak with as many people as possible ahead of 2 May.

Thank you to everyone at today's first Action Day
Great turnout at today's first Action Day. We had supporters travel from all over the country to provide support in South Shields but of course our trusted and ever staunch Association were the backbone of the day. We delivered several wards and spent time on King Street. It was a bit of a surprise to bump into Miliband, D who seemed to be paying the briefest visit to show his support before jumping back on the metro to Newcastle. Special thanks to all members of the South Shields Conservative Association, Charles Heslop, David Barnet, Callum Crozier and Wendy Morton. We still have lots of leaflets to get out, so if you have any time at all please let me know!

Date for Diary: Saturday 20th April - Action Day in South Shields
Next Saturday will be the first of two Actions Days held in South Shields. On Saturday 20th we would like to gather as many supporters as possible, so we can deliver our new leaflet in the constituency to as many wards as possible and also to maintain our presence on King Street. Please come to help even if you have only 30 minutes to spare. Anyone who is prepared to travel up to South Shields to spend the day campaigning that would be greatly appreciated and we can recommend accommodation etc. Please email me on: email@example.com
Campaign Kick Off in King Street
Thank you to all of those who helped this morning in King Street. I am pictured with Guy Oppermann, MP for Hexham who travelled down from Northumberland to reinforce our efforts on the high street. It was great to meet new voters but also to meet those of you I had spoken with during the last campaign. I think we showed this morning Conservatives mean business in South Shields and we are putting all of your efforts into the campaign.
Friday, April 12, 2013
I am delighted to announce that last night I was re-selected as the Conservative Candidate for South Shields. I am honoured to have this opportunity to stand once again in my home town. We achieved great things in 2010 and now is the time to build upon the solid support we already have. I want to reach out to voters who thought they would never vote Conservative - to show I am the candidate who can make a difference to this town and I will be wholly committed to South Shields. There have been years of Labour Neglect. King Street was a focal point of my last campaign and nothing has improved there in three years. We need investment in this town. We need to boost enterprise and bring jobs to South Shields. The date for the By Election has not yet been announced. We will know the date next week. The campaign, however, starts today and leaflets are being printed as I type. We need as much support as possible over the next few weeks - I want to speak to as many people as possible.

Defend Us
At the recent Conservative Conference in Birmingham I had the opportunity to ask Defense Secretary Liam Fox a question on how the cuts will affect our standing on world stage as well as at home:
Full transcript of the question I asked as follows:
The past weeks have seen yet more headlines outlining deep cuts to our already severely depleted armed forces. We have also seen a loosening of our commitment to an independent
nuclear deterrent, the proposed reduction of the RAF to its smallest size ever and yet more reductions in the size and capability of the navy and the army. Since the Second World War each conflict our armed forces have been asked to fight in has been radically different to the previous one, each needing the very military capability our political leaders have told us is no longer required.
The primary duty of government is defence of the nation, yet for far too long successive governments have taken the professionalism of our armed forces for granted - and run them into the ground. It cannot be long before inadequate British forces suffer a military defeat; the negative effect on our national psyche and standing in the world would be incalculable. Secretary of State, can you reassure us you will fight for our defense budget?
PS If anyone can find the whole question on You Tube please can you let me know!

our saturday turned into an [unintentional] all-day date, complete with a walk on the beach, lunch at our favorite mexican restaurant, grocery shopping together/colorful veggies, grilling pizzas at home for dinner, and a night at the movies. also making up the word "saturdate"....which is obviously something to be proud of! ;)
we've been out of town a lot this past month, so it was fun to hang out here at home and do some of our old favorites. the ocean water was seriously ice cold and june gloom was still hanging around a bit at the beach in the morning, but it ended up being a beautiful day and i'm already hoping for another saturdate asap. especially because my date was pretty cute and such a gentleman, as per usual. he always lets me have the last chip. i think i'll keep him. <3

For a nation "On the Go", there's nothing better than Fast Food. The USA invented "fast-food", but have you heard the results?
Diabetes is almost an epidemic in America, partly because Americans eat too much high calorie food containing the worst types of carbohydrates. Visitors returning from the USA say they gained weight because they too are eating fast (and "fat") food in American franchise restaurants.
Although the U.S. is the home of fast-food, there are still restaurants with food prepared and eaten like you would at home, and, believe it or not, you can find some of the healthiest food in the world in the USA, if you know where to look or how to cook it.
Not all fast food restaurants are bad, and not all non-fast food restaurants are always healthy; but franchise restaurant menus are based on marketing, not necessarily nutrition. The strategy for these chain restaurants is based on "the brand": Big Macs, and The Whopper; but they are consistent. Every McDonald's, KFC and Burger King looks and tastes the same in Europe and Asia as they do in the USA. There are no surprises; you know exactly what you're going to get in Chicago, L.A., Lisbon or Tokyo.
That because they all have exactly same menu: the edible icons of American efficiency and salesmanship: at the price of variety and individualism. What we gain in efficiency, we lose the adventure, and often the risks, of trying new, exotic and basically foreign fare.
Americans rarely invade and occupy other nations with troops and tanks any more, but Colonel Sanders, Big Macs and the Golden Arches are occupying foreign territory and stomachs almost as much as Americans. And for the hungry expat not yet accustomed to chop sticks and dried fish, that's a blessing.

Going to USA? Are you looking for a low cost mobile communications and Internet access during your trip to New-York, Chicago or Los-Angeles? You do not want to be shocked when you come back home and see your huge roaming bill?
Well, of course you can purchase one of T-Mobile, AT&T, Boost Mobile, Cricket Wireless, H2O Wireless, MetroPCS, Net10 Wireless, Page Plus, Project Fi, Red Pocket Mobile, Republic Wireless, SIMPLE Mobile, Sprint, Straight Talk Wireless, Ting Mobile, US Cellular or Verizon SIM cards. This also is a solution, but not as elegant. In three months the SIM card purchased in USA (if not recharged and actively used) will stop working, and if you will have to travel to Mexico or Brazil, for example, then you will have to purchase local Mexican or Brazilian SIM card.
However, already from 2006 on board of airBaltic airlines, passengers are offered airBalticcard Mobile International SIM – mobile travelling SIM card for free and low cost calls abroad in roaming. In other words, its a big pleasure having one unique SIM card for the whole world.

Ever feel like you are in a bubble? We had all our plans for Amsterdam suddenly cancelled and now we are both wandering around like a couple of lost zombies. I blame the rain mostly, but it is really difficult to get recharged in a new direction for some reason. Even Coco has been lolling around on the bed for three days. I think she's depressed because I can no longer put her leash on and take her for a walk. I'm very disappointed that we had to cancel Amsterdam but the added expense to go anyway was just too much for our budget to handle. (I have not worked since June).
Now, back in the city is also like a dose of harsh reality. Noisy traffic and crowded streets. The other day I had to pay a bill and wasted (I forgot to bring a book) an hour waiting in line with all the other old folks who don't trust the 'automated payment system" for good reason too. But I also never noticed that not only do I have to pay a fee to pay my bill at MY BANK, but I also get charged 2 Euros by the Internet company because I refuse to let them
steal debit money from my account whenever it pleases them.
When I finally reached the clerk, I couldn't believe what was displayed at the Post Office counter. An Italian version of the porn book series "Shades of Grey". Eeeep! Are they really trying to push this trash on all those old biddies at the Post Office? Lord help us!
And speaking of old biddies…what is it with these broads at the supermarket anyway? They ALWAYS want to go ahead of everyone. I swear they do it on purpose. They go in to buy two items and then see who they can bully to jump the cue. And, it is usually me 😦 But it really ticks me off because they are probably on pension and have no where to go exactly at any particular time and the rest of us are scrambling to get to the bank before it closes or back to work.
Maybe when you get older you just don't give a feck and this is a fun activity to see who would dare challenge an old lady at the supermarket with only two items. But I sooooo want to be that asshole who does, haha. Yes, one day I will be just like them, I'm too evil to die young!

University Awards & Recognition
Distinguished Service Award
Call for Suggestions for Award Nominations
The Distinguished Service Award was established by the Board of Trustees in 1952 to recognize individuals who have rendered exceptional service to the university.

Recipients of this award have provided a broad spectrum of services to the university in both official and unofficial capacities.

Following a first review, some nominators will be asked to provide additional information, including letters of support, so that nominees may be fully considered for recognition.
Award Guidelines
In establishing the award, the Board of Trustees stated that "the key thought in selecting persons for the award should be distinguished service to The Ohio State University. Such service may be rendered either on or off campus, and by persons either officially connected with the university or not so connected."
Nominees may include those who have served in academic or administrative positions at the university, as well as alumni and other non-university individuals.
Awards are not made on the basis of long, faithful, or loyal service alone, but rather for service that is truly distinguished, defined as "noted, eminent, famous, made conspicuous by excellence."
Awards are not made to those considered eligible for an Honorary Degree on the basis of scholarly achievement, or to those who have previously received such a degree or the Sullivant Medal from the university.
