The Origin of Black People With Blue Eyes
People pay very little attention to common eye colors, which explains why I get little to no compliments on my big brown eyes. We tend to be captivated by rare traits or unusual combinations, such as black people with blue eyes. This article will cover the origins of black people with blue eyes, and will list some examples of well-known black celebrities with blue eyes.
Can You Be Black and Have Blue Eyes?
Yes, you can be black and have blue eyes.
Still, blue eyes are very uncommon among black people, especially those with no Caucasian ancestry. Research has found that almost everyone with blue eyes is linked to an ancient genetic mutation, and a small fraction get their blue eye color as a result of a health condition such as ocular albinism, which affects the pigmentation in the eye.
What Is the Origin of Black People With Blue Eyes?
In short, the origin of black people with blue eyes is no different than the origin of any human's eye color, the deciding factor being genetics.
Research argues that, at one point in time far in the past, everyone on the planet had brown eyes. The first light-eyed human emerged only about 10,000 years ago, says Professor Hans Eiberg and his team of Danish scientists from the University of Copenhagen.
In their study, Eiberg and his team recruited 800 blue-eyed men and women across different countries. They studied the genes that coded blue eyes in all of these individuals.
They were able to conclude that all blue-eyed people have the exact same DNA sequence to account for their blue eyes. They also found that this DNA sequence contains an ancient genetic mutation which presumably occurred 10,000 years ago around South-Eastern Europe. In other words, blue-eyed celebrities Matt Damon and Elijah Wood are your distant cousins if you have blue eyes. Everyone with blue eyes is related in a distant way.
Black people are affected by this genetic mutation in the same way any other human is, but because the mutation originated in Europe, it is rare to see a black baby born with blue eyes. We will explore this concept more in the sections below.
Another, but less common, reason why a black baby may be born with blue eyes is if it has ocular albinism or waardenburg syndrome.
Where Did the Blue Eye Mutation Come From?
The mutation that gave rise to blue eyes altered the OCA2 gene, a gene that codes for the production of the brown pigment (melanin) in our eyes.
"Originally, we all had brown eyes," says Professor Hans Eiberg from the University of Copenhagen's Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine. "But a genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a switch, which literally turned off the ability to produce brown eyes."
The mutation can be compared to an error in the recipe to create brown eyes, in which the amount of melanin is altered. The result is very little melanin production in the iris of the eyes, and the low melanin concentration, being insufficient to produce brown eyes, produces blue eyes2.
For 10,000 years, the blue-eye gene has been passed on from parents to offspring and has spread to different geographical regions. A descendant often has blue eyes if he or she inherited the right set of genes from both parents, and it is believed that almost every blue-eyed person on earth today inherited the same mutation from the same source.
A tiny fraction of blue eyes are caused by health conditions such as waardenburg syndrome and ocular albinism. These conditions are characterized by pigmentation problems, and can affect as many as six different genes responsible for eye color. These health conditions impact the growth and development of pigment-producing cells, and can potentially lead to a much lower pigment concentration than in the case of the OCA2 mutation, producing brighter (almost white) blue eyes.
Apart from pigmentation defect, waardenburg syndrome is associated with congenital hearing loss and heterochomria. Ocular albinism, just like other forms of albinism, has been linked to severe ocular defects including high sensitivity to light and involuntary eye movements.
Why Are Most Blue-Eyed People of European Descent?
Almost everyone in Africa and Asia has brown eyes. In fact, brown eyes are the most commonly occurring eye color in the world. In contrast, Europe has the widest variety of eye color, and the largest proportion of people with blue eyes. In fact, over 80 percent of the inhabitants of Estonia and Finland have blue eyes.
But why are there so many blue-eyed people in Europe?
The first thing to consider is that Europe was the epicenter of the blue-eye gene mutation. This might be one of the most important factors to explain the high proportion of blue eyes on the continent.
Another important hypothesis is partner selection. The gist of this concept is that individuals were much more choosy in ancestral Europe than anywhere else in the world. In other words, a European guy in those days was more attracted to women with blue eyes than those with brown eyes. This type of selection might have increased the likelihood of giving birth to a child with blue eyes, and explains the difference in eye color diversity in Europe versus the rest of the world. Both hypotheses explain why the proportion of black people with blue eyes may be the smallest.
Can Blue Eyes Skip a Generation?
Yes. Not only can blue eyes skip a generation, they can skip multiple generations.
If blue eyes are already in the family, there is no guarantee that a parent will pass them on to their child. Blue-eyed parents can give birth to brown or hazel eyed offspring, with the blue eye mutation lying dormant within the child's genetic make-up. It's hard to predict when the mutation will appear again.
What Is the Rarest Eye Color?
Whether you're black or not, the rarest eye color in the world is green. It is estimated that only about two percent of the world's population has green eyes.
As for blue eyes, it is estimated that about eight percent of the world's population has them. While green eyes consist of a mild amount of pigmentation with hints of gold, blue eyes are formed by the absence of pigment in the iris.
Why Do Some People Have Yellow Eyes?
When people refer to yellow eyes, they are speaking of the whites of one's eyes (called the scelera), rather than the iris.
Whether a person is black or not, the whites of their eyes can turn yellowish for a number of reasons. These include:
- Jaundice – The most common cause of yellowish eyes. Jaundice can also turn the skin yellow, and usually indicates a serious problem with the liver, gallbladder or pancreas.
- Hepatitis – An inflammatory condition of the liver, and can cause yellowish eyes.
- Biliary Duct Obstruction – Blocked bile ducts can cause the whites of one's eyes to yellow.
- Alcohol-Related Liver Disease – Yellowing of the eyes can be caused by damage to the liver caused by heavy drinking.
- Cirrhosis – Severe scarring and poor function of the liver due to damage by alcohol or viral infections.
- Gallstones – These can block the bile duct and cause yellowing of the eyes.
- Thalassemia – A blood disorder that causes the body to create an abnormal form of hemoglobin.
- G6PD Deficiency – A genetic condition caused by a lack of the G6PD enzyme in the blood.
- Acute Pancreatitis – Inflammation of the pancreas.
Can Black People's Eyes Change Color?
The color of a person's eyes can change, whether they are black or not.
In fact, Caucasians are more likely to inherit eyes that change color, since they generally have lighter eyes.
Changes in eye color are caused by the expanding and contracting of the iris, the colored part of the eye. When the iris is contracted, the pigments are compressed, making the color appear darker. When the iris is expanded, the pigments are spread apart, making the color appear lighter.
Since the color of one's eyes can change according to the size of their pupil, eyes usually change color depending on the amount of light entering the eye. Eyes can also change color according to one's emotion. When one feels relaxed or happy, the iris expands. When one feels angry or tense, the iris contracts.

More Black People With Blue Eyes
Is there anyone in your family (father, mother and children) with blue eyes?
© 2016 Edmund Custers
In my culture, it's extremely rare for babies to be born with light-coloured eyes. The standard for beautiful eye colour is "eyes as dark as the night". Light-coloured eyes are considered unattractive, blue eyes being considered the most unattractive. So even if a few individuals are born with light-coloured eyes due to sporadic genetic mutations, they have a much lower chance of being chosen by potential partners and passing on their genes.
Being African American male possessing dark brown eyes and not knowing why my mother had red hair, freckles and hazel colored eyes? All of which she hated and was teased relentlessly as a child. Her mother was light complexioned with hazel eyes who had a blue eyed brother a hazel colored sister and a green eyed sister. My genealogy is all over the place. I'd like to know what happened and why?
But in Africa we don't consider being with blue eyes a beuty we consider big ones not the colour
Very interesting article. Today the "experts" are saying that all of us blue-eyed people descended from one common female ancestor in the past. As a child my eyes were a turquoise blue like both my parents, but for awhile my eyes turned green. After my thyroid was removed, the color turned back to blue, this time almost navy blue. We are of Celtic and French-Germanic ancestry with a little Mediterranean thrown in as shown by a DNA test. No trace of the Choctaw or Cherokee that family rumor said we were supposed to have.
I have met two people in my lifetime who had yellow irises, not amber, but yellow. They were not connected to each other in any manner and lived in different states.
My father is one of 14 children, and he, two aunts, one uncle, and my grandmother (now deceased), all were born with blue eyes. His other siblings born with brown eyes. I was born with brown eyes. We are Black Americans. Of my three kids, the two oldest were born with blues, the youngest with brown eyes, however, my wife is of German-Irish ancestry, with her grandmother having blue eyes. My two oldest kids could have inherited from either side of our families.
Very interesting article. I do though believe your colour chart is completely wrong. Take brown (B) + blue (b): If one parent has BB and the other one bb (both homozygous) there is roughly 0% chance of getting a blue eyed baby as a result of anything else than a mutation. The other case: Bb and bb (brown, heterozygous. Blue, homozygous) there is a 25% chance of getting a blue eyed kid. Ultimately this means that given the phenotypes of the parents, there is roughly 12.5% of getting a blue eyed baby.
There will though be a 100% chance for the kid to be able to produce a blue eyed baby, when it comes to that :)
I have blue eyes. My mom had blue eyes, aunt and cousin have blue eyes. My grandfather had blue eyes. My son has one blue one brown eye and his daughters/my granddaughter has blue eyes. Five generations straight that I know of. All African Americans
I have blue eyes, my mother has gray eyes my father had brown eyes. Yes they aremy biological parents. I have 4 children with brown eyes as did my husband. I have 4 grandkids all with brown eyes. But I have cousins with blue, gray, green, amber and hazel eyes.
My grandpa had light green eyes and my grandma had black
They had seven children among which my uncle only has the green one
Others all have brown
My mother has blue eyes. Along with my aunt and my nephew has one brown eye one blue. For this to be rare it's pretty common it would seem in my family
mary johnson but allot of these young girls on you tube that are black with blue eyes say there eyes are real but just like there fake hair tutorials there eyes are not blue but blue contacts instead
Also my moms mom has green eyes and my moms dad has dark blue. She and her suster (my aunt) have brown eyes. How is it possible if here it writes that green and blue cannot make a brown eyed baby, when my grandparents made 2?
But my mom has brown eyes and my dad has blue yeyes. How come i has born with green?
I've always thought that it is very rare for a brown skinned person to have blue eyes. But, is it possible for a person's eye clor to change slightly in between seasons? I have a friend who's eyes seem to appear to be a different shade each season.
I also noticed the chart that says brown and blue eyed persons can't produce a green eyed child. I remember learning this in biology class as well. However, my mothers eyes are as blue as they get (with no hint of green really) and my dad has dark brown eyes. My dad is absolutely my biological father. No doubt. I happen to have green eyes -really green eyes, although there is a hint of yellow around my iris, there is no blue or brown.
Hi, i noticed on the chart that the brown eyed and blue eyed set of parents seem to not be able to produce a green eyed child. My brown eyed niece and her blue eyed partner produced a beautiful boy with eyes that change from teal blue to light blue to green and at times gray, at times within minutes . My nieces father has blue eyes, her mom has brown eyes. Her blue eyed partners mom had green eyes. His father may have had green or a hazel greenish eyes. His brother has greenish eyes. I guess there are not definite genetic laws that dictate who gets what eye color. Genetically there is a blend of Sicilian and Italian plus German and Irish and who knows what else running through everyones DNA. I also had a brown eyed Italian descent friend and her Turkish dark brown eyed hubby who had a beautiful lavender eyed baby boy. His eyes later turned to green then to brown. Turkish grandfather had unusual bluish eyes.
Ra....people marvel over blue eyes because they are rare and beautiful. Thants not saying that other colored eyes are not beautiful because they are.....they are just not as rare except for green eye,,,,,being recessive only explains how rare the trait is, it does not make the trait bad.
So sad how people marvel over blue eyes without noticing its a recessive trait.
Yeah, the thing with black people and yellpw eyes is usually just due to the amount of melanin they produce, not health conditions. A lot of African born people have yellow scaleras, even me, but some are just a lot lighter and not very noticible or are only in certain parts of the scalera.
I'm another one - brown-eyed mother and (very) blue-eyed father, and my eyes are green. Mother's father had gray eyes. Since I look like my father and his whole family, I don't doubt parentage. :)
They say if one parent has blue and one has brown their child cant have green eyes thats not true because Im livivng proof my bio mom had brown eyes and my bio father has blu eyes and I have green eyes me and my two kids are the only one has green eyes in four generation of our family I dont under stand why
Everyone is amazed that my eyes are dark blue. You really notice when I wear blue shirts. I am the only one in my family like this.
my dad is the only person in the whole family with blue eyes
Also, maybe there was also something about climate/environment of European countries that caused the mutation to occur more frequently.
My whole family have blue eyes, I feel lucky.
Not all black people are African American.
why did you have to use black people why couldnt you use African american
False propoganda? And where is your proof, Aly?
To my understanding, blacks with blue eyes and blond hair were the oldest of human kind. There was a tribe in south africa that research has shown that they were the first original humans and they were with blonde hair and blue eye. You are making this highly wrong hypothesis that blue eyes came originated from Europeans and some other predominantly white countries. Stop spreading this false propoganda. The truth is every single ethnic group came from the black. That has been a proven fact. At some point some of these blacks started moving to different parts of the world millions of years ago; including some of those that were in the tribe of south Africa that had the blue eyes and blonde hair. The ones with the blonde hair and blue eyes all moved to the European regions and the other blacks moved to diffrrent parts of the world. These blacks that moved from Africa after so many years, evolution started taking place. Their skin color and hair structure started to change due to weather and different climates their bodies weren't use to. After millions of years that became the result of all these different races. Even though the blacks with the blue eyes and blonde hair did have their skin color changed to white and changed their hair texture due to evolution, the two characteristics that did not changed were their blonde hair and blue eyes. What that means is whites with blond hair and blue eyes are descendants of that tribe in south Africa that had the blue eyes and blond hair. Every nation started off with their ancestors being of black people being their original. This has been proven time and time again by some of the greatest genealogists. Don't be one of those that hate to admit that blacks are the originals. And then try to convince people and alternative theory just so you can undermined that blacks are the originals.
Wow. The comments here show that it's actually INTELLIGENCE that's rare- not blue eyes.
Mwindo it doesnt matter if they were not fully black
Those american actors you mentioned are not fully black, so them having blue eyes can be easily explained.
So I'm a genetic mutation? I am African American and I have blue eyes. You can see it when sunlight or bright lights shine in my face. I was unaware of this growing up and only found out after I became a teenager. What is the problem? Where did I get blue eyes from? My parents eyes were brown. Why are mine blue?? Any answers?
Everywhere I go I meet black people with blue eyes or blonde hair, blond lashes and eyebrows blonde skin hair and blue eyes or green eyes. Black people and white people get married and or have children together and pass on these genetic traits that turn up immediately or somewhere down the line of future generations who may not know there is white blood in their DNA. None that I have know ever had a disease causing blue eyes as if something must be wrong with that person or its a mutation of some sort.
Hello. In the article, you use the expression : "... there are quite a few black people with blue eyes..."
However I wonder what quite a few means. Rather : "extreme rare" ?? I get the impression from daily life that if I assume 0,01% got them, I'm still exagerating ? :-)
to Drummond.D
sweetie.. hi.................and what makes you think.. that baby needs adopting??? because he. is poor person????? that means he has no parents.. and if he does have parents.. they will just give to you their baby.. because they are 'poor'??????.... be blessed
Some of the photos in your article look like genetic manipulation. Someone must have changed these eyes on purpose, like mine in 1988.
Here is another interesting bit of research on blue eyed ancestors... predating the Baltic Sea area, if I have it right: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/01/14...
Just wanted to start off by saying thank you for this insightful article. It was very informative, well put together, easy to read and understand, and very interesting. I am a young Mexican American woman with European ancestry. My eyes are an auburn color, and my son's dad's eyes are a pale blue. My 4 year old son has greenish blue eyes but they are more blue than green. They also have specs of my eye color in them which is pretty amazing. Most of the time they look more on the blue side but other times they appear to be more on the green side, and sometimes even look almost like a hazel. Have you ever dropped food coloring of different colors into water and watch it expand outward together, but not exactly mixing? That is how I would describe my son's eyes. Before I gave birth to my son, I always wondered what color his eyes would be because his father's eyes are blue. I was told by a few people that if the father has blue eyes, the baby had a higher chance of inheriting his eye color more so than if the mother has blue eyes. I'm not exactly sure how true this is because my husband (son's step father) has blue eyes but his son has dark brown eyes like his mother, and my brother in law also has blue eyes but his son has dark brown eyes like HIS mother. Not exactly sure if my son has blue eyes because his father has blue eyes, or because both his father and I somehow carry the blue eye gene, or if it just happened on random. Anyways, if you are reading this, what do you think?
I heard what beautiful eyes on the little baby boy, no one is looking at how poor he is can I help like adopt him does any one knows who took the pick or any info
I am Native American Indian/Caucasion. My mom had dark brown hair and brown eyes.
My dad had dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I have medium brown hair and figuring hazel eyes. My grandpas full brother had bright blue eyes, other than me and him everyone else has brown eyes even distant cousins. My eyes are grayish-green in normal light, emerald green in sunlight straight on and amber in sunlight from the side view, I am assuming that means hazel. My 3 year olds eyes seem to be exactly the same as mine. Her daddy has dark blue eyes. If we have another kid I am wondering what color the eyes will be genetically speaking.
Coming from an almost entirely brown eyes family I am surprised mine are not brown.
Hi, I'm black but I have hazel eyes and my mum and dad have dark brown eyes . I'm from Nigeria . Two of my siblings have light brown eyes too
Blue eyes is a recessive mutation, weather it's in European or in Africa and most likely it originated in Africa. Sickle cell protects Africans against malaria it only becomes a problem when they move from the area that have no malaria. Some white people with brown eyes have sickle cell. The solution will be to infect sickle cell carrying people with malaria.
my parents are black with brown eyes...was born with blue eyes and im told its some wardensberg syndrome which honestly speaking...I dont think it prevents me from seeing...i see just normal..no problem with my eyes
Beautiful beautiful beautiful baby blue sapphire eyes on a beautiful brown baby boy! So so stunning and great
I have little girl 10 month old have a nice blue eyes both parents have black eyes. I'm from Ghana Africa
In light of your discoveries with eye color how will this affect the way you look at & study sickle - cell is there a link ?
The blue eye gene came from one fallen angel with blue eyes and dark skin. It's in the book of Enoch.
Very possible because of mutation, a sudden heritable change. For instance, the Eve gene for eye/skin color originated from a black woman, a mutation that occurred in the mitochondria thousands of years ago. Mitochondria is a cell organelle that possessed its own DNA independent of the DNA in the Nucleus of the Cell. This genetic anomaly is transmitted only by women since they are the one that contributes the mitochondrial DNA through the egg(sexual gametes)
I'm a browned eyed guy. Everyone in my family has brown eyes as far as I know. Well, almost. I have a cousin that yellowish eyes. Like for real. Guy looks like a cat. Great hubbing, Edmund Custers.
I once knew an African Caribbean man who had blue eyes. I assumed that their history lay in the slave trade, when some white slavers would breed children with their female slaves.
My two sisters and I all have different eye color and hair color. One has hazel brown, one has blue/green and the other has green eyes. Hair colors: blonde/green eyes, dark brown hair/hazel br. eyes/ red/brownish hair and bluish green eyes. My dad had dark hair and brown eyes. My mother had light brown hair and bluish eyes. Brown eyes don't seem to always dominate.

in Qui Nhon in order to reinforce the RVNAF and to defend the airfield, port, logistic facilities, and U.S. supporting installations.''16
To fulfill the requirements of his mission, on 6 July Lieutenant Colonel Utter issued his three-phased concept of operations; the first phase was completed on the afternoon of the 7th with the relief of BLT 3/7, the second began on the 8th with the occupation of Hill 586, the dominant ridge line running north and south, while the third phase was to consist of aggressive patrolling of the TAOR. The defensive perimeter consisted of three concentric areas: close-in defensive positions around the airfield, a defensive zone out to mortar range, and an outer zone to the limit of organic artillery range.
The establishment of the Qui Nhon enclave made General Walt's mission in I Corps more difficult. Not only did he lose the services of one infantry battalion, which could have been used either at Phu Bai or Da Nang, but also he had to position a detachment of 10 UH-34s from HMM-161 at Qui Nhon to provide helicopter support for the Marines there. The need for still more Marines in I Corps became disturbingly evident in July.
The Attack on the Airfield

On 1 July, a Viet Cong mortar and ground attack on the Da Nang airfield exposed the vulnerability of the base to enemy hit-and-run tactics. The Communists had carefully planned and rehearsed this operation for over a month, taking advantage of the fact that the entire area south of the perimeter fence was the responsibility of the South Vietnamese forces. On the night of 30 June, an 85-man enemy force, armed with automatic weapons, demolitions, grenades, one 57mm recoilless rifle, and four 81mm mortars, crossed the Cau Do River south of Da Nang. The attack force, a VC special operations company and a mortar company, reinforced by a 13-man North Vietnamese sapper team reached the southeastern perimeter of the base by midnight.
The enemy mortar company divided into two sections; the first section was to fire on the helicopter parking area, the other was to support the demolition team. Two rifle squads took up blocking positions to counter any reaction force, while the recoilless rifle team backed up the mortars. At approximately 0115, the 13 men of the demolition team tunneled under the outer defensive wire, crossed the open area, and cut a hole in the inner perimeter fence.17
Lieutenant Colonel Verle E. Ludwig's 1st Battalion, 9th Marines was responsible for airfield defense. All four companies and the battalion CP had been located on the airfield, but 'there were continuing talks and plans between and among myself [Ludwig], Colonel Wheeler, and General Walt to use 1/9 to increase the offensive capability in the Da Nang area.' As a result. Companies B and D, the CP, and most of Headquarters and Service Company had been moved to a more forward base area to begin a series of sweeps south of Da Nang. Two companies, A and C, augmented by MAF Logistic Support Group troops and Ontos [106mm recoilless rifles] strong points, provided the defense of the airfield proper. Ludwig later observed that these two companies were responsible for the same area that the entire battalion had previously covered and 'This meant, of course, that our positions were spread out, with the spaces between covered with roving sentries. This was the situation in the area penetrated by the sappers.'18
The night of 30 June had been quiet, with the exception of two minor probes on the extreme western portion of the Marine TAOR. About 0130 on l July, one of the Marine sentries near the fence heard a suspicious noise and threw an illumination grenade. At the moment the grenade burst, the enemy opened fire. Under the protection of concentrated covering fire and grenades, ten sappers ran

The Eighty-Four-Year-Old Witness
How old do you think the average employee at Google is? 29. The company even has a support group for folks over 40 called "Greyglers." When we go over to Facebook headquarters, the stress upon the authority of the young remains the same. Mark Zuckerberg says, "young people are just smarter." Maybe it's time for all of us to get smarter and stop and listen to what some older folks have to say.
In Luke's Christmas narrative his last witness is eighty-four, and her name is Anna.
"Now Anna was a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years. In fact, she had lived seven years with her husband after marrying him as a virgin. Then after her husband died, she lived as a widow till her eighty-fourth year. She fasted and prayed, and never left the Temple grounds. She served night and day. At that moment (when Simeon was prophesying about Jesus and Mary) she approached and started praising God. She told everyone who was waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem about the child." Luke 2:36-38. She was ancient and from one of the tribes that was supposed to have disappeared in the Assyrian invasions in the 8thcentury B .C. She had faced the blow of losing her husband and then lived as a widow in a culture where a woman's status was based in their marriage. But God chose this woman to help us identify His Son.
Anna is one octogenarian who didn't need a twenty-something to pitch her ideas. With her experience and godliness, she was the perfect witness verifying that Jesus was the Deliverer, the One who would one day set Jerusalem free. But this statement about the liberation of Jerusalem raises a tough question. When in Luke's Gospel or in Acts did Jesus liberate Jerusalem? We'll have to wait and see.
LORD, use Anna's witness to cause both young and old to thank you for the gift of your Son. In history, we still haven't seen Jerusalem submitting to Jesus and receiving his liberation. As Palestinians and Israelis continue to fight over the right to rule the Temple Mound, I pray that you will open individual hearts to humbly allow Jesus to liberate them from the tyranny of sin that enslaves us all.

In this story, Navid has been trained from an early age to join the elite, but everything he learns only leads him to more questions. His search for answers will take him from the quiet village where he grew up to the greatest cities of nineteenth-century Persia, and ultimately into the middle of a war that will tear apart families, challenge the country's most powerful leaders, and force Navid to question everything that he thought he knew. As the imperial army clashes with scholars and peasants in the ancient streets of Zanjan, Navid will participate in the birth of a new spiritual movement that has the power to transform the world.

Recently 40-year-old Joshua Michael Johnson of Nassau County, Florida pleaded guilty to soliciting a child for sex through craigslist. Johnson is a former 7th-grade teacher. The 14-year-old boy turned out to be an undercover investigator.
Unfortunately, the terms of his plea deal recommend only a 3-year prison term with seven years on the sex offender registry. A judge can change the sentence if they so choose but I doubt that will happen. That's sick point #1.
Johnson was caught along with 16 other men in an internet sting that involved several law enforcement agencies. Many caught in the sting thought they were talking to a parent who was willing to let them rape their child. Sick point #2. As I've said before if these men are being caught there's probably even more out there on craigslist selling their kids for sex who haven't been caught. Think it doesn't happen? Think again.
And of course, lastly, this shows how badly craigslist is still desperately in need of self-moderation instead of letting the pedophiles run the asylum with their 'community policing'. It's not really policing if they're a bunch of sexual predators, is it?

The Nerdmare Before Dorksmas
Ten gifts to turn a boring old Wookiee Life Day into a Klingon QI'lop!
By Glenn Given
12/13/2012 -
If you still need to be convinced that geek culture has hit the mainstream, you're living in a sealed-off Batcave. The highest-grossing films
(The Avengers
The Dark Knight Rises
) and top comedies like
Big Bang Theory
are deeply geeky. Target shelves are stocked with euro-style board games like Settlers of Catan, and the video game industry is set to make 67 billion nerdy dollars this year. Now, I don't expect all of you to be listening to chiptunes, using a Makerbot to custom craft miniatures, or rocking a sweet pixel art tattoo, but you've got holiday obligations, so don't embarrass yourself. Crank this festive season to 1.21 gigawatts with these sure-fire geeky gifts for under the tree, menorah, kinara or undecorated aluminum pole.
1. A Vintage NES and a ton of games ($100)
Local game shops like Level Up Gaming (
) can set you up with a vintage '80s or '90s gaming console and a bucket of games for less than a bare-bones Wii U. The current crop of consoles are growing long in the tooth, and the next generation heralded by the Wii U lacks the innovation of Nintendo's former outing and the sheer horsepower of the Playstation 3. You're better off playing the nostalgia card for older geeks or showing your old-school cred to a young nerd. Give them a taste of an age when infinite continues were only a myth.
2. A hat that says "w00t" ($15)
Popular geek exclamation of triumph custom embroidered on a fitted cap by a local artisan? Yes please. From etsy.com/shop/threadfed. Psst, they also make one that says "1337 633K" which ain't too shabby as far as geek slang goes.
3. Verily, a mighty flagon of mead!
Purchase a silver or gold plated flagon fit for the king of kings from the FC Ziegler Catholic Church supply company, or nab a more affordable stein from your local brewpub or beer shop. Fill it to ye brim with the booze of yon champions, fermented honey-wine from the fine folks at Moonlight Meadery (
4. Custom cosplay attire ($500-$1,000)
You might not be aware, but New Hampshire has an oddly active cosplay (costume play) community. Nab your favorite dorklings old issues of Shonen Jump or a superhero rag and take it to Costumes of Nashua (costumesofnashua.com/) or Derry's The Costume Gallery (www.thecostumegallery.com/). Shake a fist full of cash in their face while pointing at an insanely frocked cartoon character. Your geek won't know what to think of your oddly insightful gift.
5. The Hulk ($15,000 minimum bid)
What's green, enormous and emitting deadly radiation into your living room? It's probably your genetically modified Christmas tree. But on the off chance that your douglas fir isn't slowly cancer-ating you, why not make space in your family for a life-size statue of the Incredible Hulk? Bruce Banner's alter ego fits perfectly into your foyer, conservatory or billiard room for the minimum pittance bid of $15,000 through Harrison's Comics (978-741-0786). What better way to ensure that your son or daughter never has a repeat visitor to the house?
6. A Magnavox Odyssey ($75 to $2,200 based on model year)
Listen, unless you're gonna build a functional PDP-1 to properly run Spacewar!, the Magnavox Odyssey is the closest you can realistically get to the black obelisk of video gaming. The 1972 Odyssey is rare, but a healthy trade of the '75 Odyssey 100s and its descendants are available online. While you're at it, grab a copy of Odyessy and NH inventor Ralph Baer's Video Game's: In The Beginning (rolentapress.com/).
7. A print of a petite magical horse
Portsmouth illustrator Sara Richard (
) does a brisk trade in magical horse friend pictures and various scribblings in the comic industry. Commissioning any work of art is a tricky gift prospect, but comic nerds are a bit of an easy mark for composition matter. Sneak a peek at their coffee table sprawl of funny-books and memorize even a single title. Most competent illustrators should be able to create a character inspired by your title selection.
8. Fiasco ($25)
I can't recommend this role-playing experience enough. Last time I played Fiasco I was a one-legged Native American princess who was embroiled in the illegal manufacture of drugs using run-off railroad labor in the Wild, Wild West; it got more ridiculous from there. Each player is a junction in a web of dysfunctional schemes and relationships, and the game ties the fate of all the players together in a wonderfully Coen brothers manner. Sure, it's not New Hampshire native, but I live here, and I love it, and so should you. Visit
9. A Ghostlight Theatre corporate sponsorship ($500)
You get a swag bag from New Hampshire's quirkiest theater troupe, a full page ad in every program, two season passes to whatever fever dreams they manifest (past award winning outings include, Zombies!, Titus Andronicus and subUrbia), as well as a personal promotion before every show. That is a level of ego stroking and inclusion from a clutch of talented performers that simply cannot be matched for the money. Shoot Ghostlight a message at
for info on their sponsorship packages.
10. Rusty wind up toys from yesteryear, especially tin robots
Old is the new new. Classic toys from the Rockwell days of Americana complete the look of any working geek's desk. Get yourself a vintage ray gun, a tiny Forbidden Planet Robby the Robot, and a creepy cymbal-clapping monkey to top off a geeky gift basket. Match these toys up with some bargain bin DVDs of classic sci-fi, pulp or horror flicks and a box of Sno-Caps or Raisinets for a punch to the ol' geek nostalgia-plexus. Get in touch with a local antiques shop, like From Out of The Woods Antiques (
), and you should be able to find a cool old toy or two with little effort.

This week the Scottish Minister for Schools and Skills highlighted the importance of language skills but what is it that motivates students to continue studying languages?
We all know the importance of learning languages and this week at the annual Scottish Association for Language Teaching (SALT) conference at Stirling University Maureen Watt, Minister for Schools and Skills, said that young workers of the future need to "think out of the box" about their employment plans – and a useful advantage in the global jobs market will be the ability to speak at least one foreign language.
But what motivates students to learn languages?
SANAKO UK attended the London Language Show over the weekend and there was plethora of exhibitors offering language courses both in the UK and abroad and a variety of teaching resources and content but can we truly say that any one of these motivates students to want to continue learning languages?
The simple answer is YES, teenagers visiting our stand were intrigued by the Pigloo and the 'Moi, j'aime skier' song and genuinely surprised that other schools had such resources, the children were quick to comment that they wished they had access to this in their school.
This motivation really does improve student retention and this became even more apparent during a presentation at the Specialist Schools Conference by Andrew Madden, Language College Director and Extending Learning Co-ordinator at Stratford upon Avon Grammar School for Girls who was able to demonstrate that students opting to take two MFL subjects at GCSE had increased year on year since they had had their SANAKO Lab 300 installed nearly five years ago

Clouds of Love
the clouds of love have gathered,
raining over me,
my soul soaked within,
green woods around.
Says Kabir:
do not be proud,
seeing your mansion.
tomorrow you will lie beneath the earth,
tufts of grass over you.
Says Kabir:
those who do not love God
know no joy –
like a guest in an empty house,
they come and depart.
Your God dwells within you
like fragrance in the flower,
musk lies within the deer,
yet seeks it afar.
Worlds pass away reading scriptures,
none the wiser.
he who understands the word `Love'
is the wise one.
The Hindu says Ram is supreme
the Muslim, Rahim.
both die fighting each other,
neither knowing the Truth.
Remembering You ever
egoless, I have merged with You.
no more the cycle of births and deaths,
wherever the eye goes I see You.
Brimming with devotion to God I am.
this world tires me no more.
a pitcher once baked, says Kabir,
needs no potter's wheel again.

Everyone is lining up to endorse the Green New Deal — or to mock it. Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand have all endorsed the resolution sponsored by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Senator Edward Markey of Massachusetts.
Conservative critics predictably call it "a shocking document" and "a call for enviro-socialism in America," but liberal condescension has cut deeper. The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, essentially dismissed it as branding, saying, "The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they're for it, right?" Others have criticized it for leaving out any mention of a carbon tax, a cornerstone of mainstream climate-policy proposals, while embracing a left-populist agenda that includes universal health care, stronger labor rights and a jobs guarantee.
What do these goals have to do with stabilizing atmospheric carbon levels before climate change makes large parts of the world uninhabitable? What has taken liberal critics aback is that the Green New Deal strays so far from the traditional environmental emphasis on controlling pollution, which the carbon tax aims to do, and tries to solve the problems of economic inequality, poverty and even corporate concentration (there's an antimonopoly clause).
But this everything-and-the-carbon-sink strategy is actually a feature of the approach, not a bug, and not only for reasons of ideological branding. In the 21st century, environmental policy is economic policy. Keeping the two separate isn't a feat of intellectual discipline. It's an anachronism.
Our carbon emissions are not mainly about the price of gasoline or electricity. They're about infrastructure. For every human being, there are over 1,000 tons of built environment: roads, office buildings, power plants, cars and trains and long-haul trucks. It is a technological exoskeleton for the species. Everything most of us do, we do through it: calling our parents, getting to work, moving for a job, taking the family on vacation, finding food for the evening or staying warm in a polar vortex. Just being human in this artificial world implies a definite carbon footprint — and for that matter, a trail of footprints in water use, soil compaction, habitat degradation and pesticide use. You cannot change the climate impact of Americans without changing the built American landscape.
So the proposals to retrofit buildings, retool transportation and build a clean-energy system are simply ways of tackling the problem where it starts. They are public-works projects because large capital projects — especially ones that, like highways, involve widespread public benefit — have always required public money. They are jobs programs, unless robots do the work, so the jobs might as well be good.
The deeper point is that any economic policy is a jobs policy. The oil and gas sector provides at least 1.4 million American jobs, more if you believe industry estimates, and depends on public subsidies and infrastructure. You might say that producing the disaster of global climate change has taken a lot of economic policy and produced a lot of jobs programs. Reversing direction will take the same. Since environmental policy can happen only through economic policy, there is no avoiding decisions about what sorts of work there will be, and in which industries. It's unsettling, but maybe a little less so when you consider that we've been doing it all along, usually without owning up to it.
Take the Green New Deal's proposal to work with family farmers and ranchers to reduce the carbon footprint of agriculture. It might sound like a sop to rural representatives, the locavore caucus of the Democratic Socialists of America, or both. (And that wouldn't make it wrong.) But food is our everyday metabolism with the natural world, which is why agriculture emits 9 percent of United States carbon, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. (Other estimates are considerably higher.)
Forty percent of our land is farmed or ranched, which is to say, the soil is basically conscripted as a food factory. The food system is already pervasively shaped by the Farm Bill, which spends nearly $15 billion per year on subsidies and $10 billion on conservation measures, deeply shaping what farmers grow and where, and tending to benefit large, industrially oriented operations. Food production can be much less carbon-intensive with changed practices in cropping, fertilizing, irrigation and waste management, many of them well suited to small farming. Moving in that direction, though, would require rattling the cage of big American agriculture.
As with energy, getting lawmaking involved wouldn't be new. It has taken years of agricultural policy to get us into this mess. Getting out of it is a question not of whether lawmaking also produces economic policy and jobs, but of what kind.
The Green New Deal isn't the only approach, of course, but its broad ambitions mark out the ground where future climate fights will happen. Because reshaping our environmental impact means reworking our economy, there will inevitably be competing visions about who deserves to benefit and what kind of economy we should build. Centrist proposals will concentrate on promoting investment in new technologies, with profits going, pharma-style, to private researchers and manufacturers.
If Trumpist nationalism outgrows its climate denialism but survives to fight again, it will double down on supporting national energy industries and denying the ethical responsibilities of global interdependence by building border walls against climate refugees. To the left of the Green New Deal, there will be louder calls to nationalize fossil fuels in order to leave them in the ground. (A carbon tax would be compatible with any of these visions, depending on who paid it and how the revenues were spent.)
Curiously, the idea that environmental policy could ever be separated from the larger economic order, or from fights over fairness, is recent, a product of an unusually technocratic period in American politics. Arguing for the Clean Air Act on Earth Day 1970, Senator Edmund Muskie, Democrat of Maine and the law's lead drafter, insisted that "man's environment" included "the shape of the communities in which he lives" and that "the only kind of society that has a chance" was "a society that will not tolerate slums for some and decent houses for others, rats for some and playgrounds for others, clean air for some and filth for others."
For Senator Muskie, environmentalism meant that no neighborhood or job should be toxic. In the three years that followed, the country adopted the most ambitious and effective environmental legislation in its history, including Mr. Muskie's Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act. Mr. Muskie's approach remains a model of visionary environmental lawmaking. Like much new radicalism, the Green New Deal is good sense rediscovered.

A fantastic active and recreational landscape with sauna, steam bath, adventure shower, heated sunbeds on stone, Calendarium as well as massages. Enjoy your own body and health. Unique in Mainz and exclusively in summer, our recreation deck with sunbathing and outdoor jacuzzi invites the sun worshipers and offers you the unique experience, the silhouette of the Rhine-Main area before the eyes, immersed in the nature. Our new fitness area, also on the roof terrace, offers you the opportunity to enjoy fresh air with a magnificent view. A nice alternative to jogging or walking in the park.
We also thought of your physical fitness. From the stepper over the treadmill to the bicycle gauge.
We offer you the right thing for your workout with the most beautiful view over Mainz, which a gym can have.
A nice alternative to jogging or walking in the park.
There may come the end of the evening.
Only for hotel guests useable!
Here you enter a new terrain!
You strip your everyday life like clothes, dive into another world and let yourself drift!
We have banished the stress from our swimming pool landscape.
Here time plays a subordinate role – what counts are people and relationships, joy and relaxation. Our Badelandschaft offers plenty of space for this and our good service can be taken for granted.
Step into the well-being.
Wellness in FAVORITE parkhotel, that's pure relaxation. The visit to the sauna is far more than just sweating. With every drop that leaves your skin, a part of everyday life also vanishes and makes room for a relaxed well-being.
Often the stay in our sauna is only short. The effect lasts longer. How much time you should spend in our sauna knows your body best. Wellness experts speak of two hours as the ideal duration for a complete sauna bath.
If you believe them, you should start the visit of the sauna with a shower and careful drying. Why is that good? Well, dry skin sweats faster and so promotes the recovery effect. Need another tip? Also a warm foot bath before the sauna is used, the sweating additionally.
How long does the best stay in the cabin last? They speak here of eight to fifteen minutes, which one should spend in the cabin. As a regular saunger you will surely want to stay longer than Newbie leave you the cabin rather slightly earlier. In the last two minutes you slowly get up and get used to the relaxed posture.
Cooling wants to be learned. Doctors recommend cooling down the cooling in the fresh air. Only when the body has absorbed enough oxygen, one should drain with a Kneippschlauch or cool under the Schwaunbrause. And after the cooling? A warm foot bath often works wonders. A warm feeling of warmth spreads throughout the body and fills you.
Doctors also advise not to go to the sauna hungry or full stomach. So what is the best way to plan the sauna after a visit to our restaurant Wintergärtle? Wholesome asparagus dishes or even a tasty and light herbage are not just a feast for the senses. They also bring you into the ideal state for a visit to our sauna.
During the saunas, however, you are advised to refrain from drinking. The relaxing and detoxifying effect of the sauna would be almost completely neutralized. According to experts, the maximum of well-being is reached after three saunas. Further saunas do not lead to any further increase.
If you want to continue, you should think about our massage treatments.
It depends entirely on your preferences. While the sauna relaxes with its heat, in the steam bath the moist-warm air soothes on our body. Everything that has accumulated in the air during the day is softened by the mild vapor, or even dissolved. So a steam bath brings a lot of relaxation.
If you are undecided, why do not you change daily? Your soul and body will be happy about the change and reward you with a more balance and energy the next morning.
The easiest way to relax in FAVORITE parkhotel Mainz.
You will soon feel the warmth of your body as it spreads. Your hands still feel the surface of the stone, while your soul is already making approaches, to let go and slowly take off.
Why do not you simply leave yourself to your subconscious mind? Relaxed on our sunbeds on stone rest until your soul has detected enough heat in every corner of your body. Their thoughts keep all the many topics that circulated all day long. Only when your soul decides to land again, you will return to the real world of the FAVORITE parkhotel Mainz. The sensation of warmth and relaxation will carry you deep into yourself. It gives you the opportunity to enjoy the culinary delights in our restaurants in the state of inner relaxation much more intensively than you would otherwise. In this respect, our loungers on stone act as a relaxing flavor enhancer – the only one but also the only best option you should allow.
What if the body calls for sporting activity, and Peter has opened its locks outside? In the active and recreational landscape at the FAVORITE parkhotel in Mainz, the stepper and treadmill will make your desire for jogging in its indoor version a reality. Put your personal pensum back and enjoy when the sun is rising again outside. Before you go out later, you will surely visit the sauna and the steam bath – so you can relax and unwind.
Is you more after the bike? Then you will surely find yourself on our bicycle gauge again. Choose for yourself how steep the mountain you are to climb. Train endurance and strain. As soon as you feel like you have chased the yellow jersey, you can also call the sauna and steam bath and relax after the indoor cycling tour.
Why not use the time of your stay at the FAVORITE parkhotel Mainz in order to implement a wellness and fitness program. After the conference, between business meetings or as an intermezzo on the city tour, a portion of fitness fits into the agenda.
The possibilities are varied and fitness can be varied here in our 4 star hotel in Mainz. In addition, our restaurants offer light dishes that fit well with your sporting leisure program. May we recommend the Wintergärtle?
When can we welcome you to our FAVORITE parkhotel Mainz in our active and recreational landscape?

Hottest Tattoo Quotes Ideas . Getting quotes tattooed on your body is getting more and more popular. Celebrities left and right are getting them, including Lindsay Lohan, Megan Fox and Victoria Beckham. Why would one want tattoo quotes? What is so great about these kinds of tattoos and what type should you get? Let me answer these questions and give you some good tattoo quotes recommendations.
This trend has been picked up by men and women alike. Just as many women are getting their tattoo quotes as men. Some of the more popular locations for women to get such designs are a bit different than men.
Ankle – The ankle is a pretty small canvas for a tattoo and therefore lends itself to smaller and cute female tattoo designs such as words. Also they can naturally curve around the ankle making a beautiful and ornate looking bracelet yet one with deep and rich meaning.
Wrist – The wrist is pretty much like the ankle a great place for a delicate design that is femeinine and sexy at the same time. Thus the words or saying can easily wrap around the wrist. We have all seen the mass of celebrities getting the now famous under wrist tattoo. Typically a one or two word saying that is packed with meaning for the person.
Hip – The hip is the new lower back tattoo design. It is the new location for any sexy tattoo design and so why not but some beautifully embellished writing smack on the hip area.

October 17th, 2008
Red Sox 8, Tampa Bay 7:
Gray Cat Mojo…
Special Thanks to my 2 gray cats, Alexander and Salem, who intently stared at the TV screen during the 9th inning, causing the error that got Youkilis to 2nd base, and the base hit JD Drew hit to score him….
Scattered and Random Thoughts in the Aftermath:
HOLY…BUCKETS!!! I am STILL in shock! THAT was one of the most exciting games I have ever seen in my entire life–at least the last 3 innings of it…
But the 1st 6 innings were downright HORRIBLE–and is anyone else getting TIRED of BJ Upton and Eva (n) Longoria and their ubiquitous homers?
And Daisuke was a huge disappointment, going 4+ innings of 82 pitch ball (53 for strikes) but giving up 5 runs on 5 hits (including THREE Homers) while walking 2 and striking out 2.
In the last 2 years of postseason play Daisuke holds a record of 3-1 with a 4.79 ERA, what is most telling is that he has pitched in 7 games and averages 5 innings per outing. More not so stellar stats below:
Truly, is this what the Sox paid over $100 million dollars for?
Okajima seems to have regained his stuff of last year, coming in and stopping the bleeding with 2 innings of 1 hit ball. Of course, then MDC, with his whopping 31.50 ERA comes in and gives up 2 more runs–which, to be fair, Papelbon inherited and allowed to score…
And how about Papelbon coming out in the 7th inning? When that happened, it looked to me that Tito was conceding this game–but in hindsight, he put the pitcher he had the most confidence in out there to throw 2 innings.
Justin Masterson, with his 1st postseason win, followed Papelbon with a scoreless 9th inning
And I am SO glad it stopped at the 9th inning, because the Sox were rapidly running out of options as far as effective pitching goes…
Joe Maddon made the right choice–Scott Kasmir gave them 6 shutout innings of 2-hit ball–he completely shut the Sox down. And now he had his ace, James Sheilds all rested and ready to go in Tampa, where he has been dominant, against a SO not right Josh Beckett.
The Sox admit his oblique strained, and that he had a cortisone shot but will not admit that the muscle is torn, as has been reported. From Tito: "I don't know how to answer something that's not true. I can guarantee you that that's not – I don't think anybody's capable of doing that (pitching with a torn oblique), nor would we let him. If it was torn, he would not have been able to do what he did."
I think, if the Sox can manage to eek out a win in Game 6, their chances are VERY good for Game 7, with Jon Lester on the mound.
And for those of you who think Jon Lester should pitch in Game 6–The Sox need to win BOTH, which means pitching/hitting needs to come up big in both games–so bringing Jon Lester in Game 6 will still leave the problem of Josh Beckett's ineffectiveness for Game 7
The big question is: was last night's win demoralizing enough to this Tampa Bay team, AND enough of a mojo spark for the Sox for them to win the next 2 at the Trop?
AS I said before, no matter what, Red Sox nation does not have to watch another team celebrate in their house–and if that is all we get–I can live with that…
ALTHOUGH, I would really like the Sox to STOMP on the Phillies–'cause I really cannot stand that team….
Curt Schilling threw out the 1st pitch last night–unfortunately, his shoulder was not strong enough to get it 'Tek without a bounce…I really hope he retires. I want the last memory of him to be him pitching in the World Series last year…
In a VERY telling move: The Sox players voted Manny Ramirez a 2/3 share of their Postseason take, which is exactly the amount of time he spent with them. They could have voted him a 3/4 share, which is what they did with Nomar in 2004, but opted not to… Perhaps they should have deducted all the time he faked injuries, quit on then, and acted like an all-around assh*le–but then there would be about $4.00 left…BTW, Jason Bay got more than a 1/3….
Coming up: AND OFF DAY…YUK, then Josh Beckett takes the mound for Game 6 at the Trop, opposed by James Sheilds. 1st pitch 8:07pm.
C'mon Josh, let's do this…

We, Ourselves, of The Collective, as a public service, or in this case a pubic service, will bring you the stories that were buried because of the major news events of the week. Likely had the major stories not taken place this story would have sucked the oxygen out of the 24 hour news cycle for at least two Terran standard days. Let Us begin:
Bristol Palin, the daughter of
conservative media whore former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is once again pregnant outside of the family values of her family. Miss Palin, who has never been married but whose parents have raised their children that sex before marriage is un-Christian, not to mention embarrassing politically, has as Maarit Outi Pekkonen of the HBC program Overdark put it so eloquently, "has fucked and caught for the second time."
We, Ourselves, do take to task all three Progressive bloggers that have referred to Bristol Palin as a slut or a whore. This is the sort of shaming that leads to Republicans being elected governor in blue states. This shit needs to stop and stop now. A slut, a whore, no, a paid hypocrite, maybe.
That is the story for the most part; Bristol Palin likes to fuck and does not care to use birth control because, well she likes the feel of a condomless penis inside her and taking those birth control pills are so against her mother's religious beliefs. No word on who the father is though there are a myriad of reasons for this. The family may not want anyone to know who the father is because that might be more embarrassing, or simply Bristol may have many partners and not know who the father is which is also embarrassing to the Palin Profit Machine. Either way, The Collective does not care. We, Ourselves, just want Bristol Palin to be happy and if getting pregnant makes her happy we hope she has 20 kids.

That means I am looking to get out in my gardens and ready my home for cookouts and s'mores by the fire pit. My favorite vintage market was taking place and our work was done for the week so off I went for some fun.
I must say the ladies at Vintage Thymes are always so very gracious to me when I walk in with my camera. The theme this month was The Garden Gate and the pickings were wonderful. I just do not have enough money to buy everything I like nor do I have home large enough to house it all. I really need a job where I get to decorate other peoples homes so I can buy this neat old stuff for their homes. I would get the joy of the hunt, get to see it all come together, still have room in my house and get paid to do it all! Or maybe I should be doing what these ladies are doing. I would get to have the treasures for a little while and then let them go. Alas, this is not the season in my life for that now so I will be content with sharing with you pictures of some things that caught my eye.
|The red and white caught my eye.
|Fabulously chippy
|Wouldn't this look awesome on a feature wall?
|A reminder that summer is on the way!
|Art doesn't have to be a Van Gogh or Rembrandt. If you love it that's enough.
|A hand printed poster by 23rd and Bird.
|My chalkboard
|23rd and Bird
I did buy this little guy at Vintage Thymes and stuffed him with moss and ivy:
The weekend before I visited the ladies of Mary Ellen and Sandy's Vintiage Home & Garden Place. It was tucked away and I thought my gps had steered me wrong then in the clearing we came upon this cute little cottage.
And here are some photos from there:
Now with all these ideas running around in my brain I should be able to find something to work on (or at least finish the things I have started). Brimfield Antique Fair's first show of the year is next week! I know some of the ladies mentioned here will be going if you are interested in treasure hunting!

The pressure to improve patient satisfaction scores is everywhere. Unfortunately, posting and explaining scores won't engage the heart of the people who are most likely to have a direct impact on the scores. If you want to engage your staff in creating a better customer experience, open a conversation with them about what a great experience would look like. Have them tell you what they would like to hear their customers say about their encounters. Once they have articulated what they would like their customers to say, ask them what would have to happen in order to make that vision a reality.
Here is how I guide a visioning discussion with a team. I ask the following questions:
- Who are our key customers? (Patients, co-workers, physicians, etc.)
- What would you want each of these groups to say about their experience working with us?
- How close are we? (to the description just given)
- What do we need to do in order to close the gaps?
- Who do you need to be in order to be an active part of the solution?
The first question establishes a foundation for the discussion. I don't let the participants respond to that question with, "Everyone." That won't cut it because each stakeholder group has different needs. The second question begins to shape the vision. What people respond to this question will form the basis for the action plan. The third question starts to bring reality into focus. The fourth question begins the action step planning. The final question starts to foster ownership. I've learned that when people have the chance to envision the future, they are much more likely to take ownership.
If you can engage your team in this discussion, you'll be able to return to it over and over again as a means of framing reality in the day to day work.

Queens Personal Injury Attorneys
Of the five boroughs of New York City, Queens is the largest. It was established in 1898 and today has a population of about 2.3 million residents. It has the second-largest economy of all of the New York City boroughs. The combination of extensive commercial activity with densely populated neighborhoods means that car accidents, slip and falls, and other accidents are persistent risks. Personal injury lawsuits seek to hold a person or business that was responsible for an accident liable for the losses arising out of it. If you suffer injuries or a loved one is killed in an accident caused by someone else, you should consult a Queens personal injury lawyer. At Newman, Anzalone & Newman, our trial attorneys pride themselves on the excellent legal representation that we have provided since 1978. We are a premier personal injury firm dedicated to helping victims of serious accidents.Pursuing Compensation Through a Personal Injury Case
Accidents can result in catastrophic injuries or even a wrongful death. They may involve motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian accidents, construction site accidents, slip and falls, and elevator accidents, among other examples. The person or entity responsible for the accident should bear the financial liability for it. Most of the time, you can recover damages by proving someone else's negligence. This means that you must show that it is more likely than not that the other person owed a duty to use reasonable care, breached this duty, caused your injuries, and led to your suffering actual damages.
Certain types of lawsuits require proof of more than negligence. For example, in a premises liability lawsuit, a personal injury attorney in Queens must show that you were lawfully on the property, the property owner or occupier knew or should have known about a dangerous condition, the property owner or occupier failed to provide warnings or repair the dangerous condition properly, and the accident resulted. For example, if you are at the Astoria Bookshop, and there is a wet substance on the floor, you might trip and fall and break a leg. You would need to show that the bookstore owner knew or should have known about the spill, and it either should have mopped it or put up a sign warning people to be careful in the area. Similarly, if your friend invites you to her house in Forest Hills, but she fails to warn you that the balcony is rotting, and it collapses while you are on it, the friend may be liable.
Accordingly, it is very important to secure an effective Queens personal injury attorney as soon as possible. The evidence gathered immediately after an accident can be crucial to establishing liability. For example, after a slip and fall accident in a convenience store, it may be necessary to send a letter to the convenience store advising it that litigation is pending. In many cases, convenience stores and other retail outlets reuse videotapes regularly, so important evidence about how long a dangerous condition existed may be taped over.
More stringent obligations must be met on construction worksites. New York has enacted laws to provide greater protection to construction workers in case of accidents because they work in one of the most dangerous industries, and many construction accidents are preventable.
Damages that you may be able to recover in a personal injury lawsuit include lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, and rehabilitation. Punitive damages may be available for particularly egregious conduct by the defendant. These are awarded to punish the defendant and deter future similar conduct.Consult a Tenacious Personal Injury Lawyer in Queens
If you are injured in Queens, you may be able to recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent person or business. Newman, Anzalone & Newman provides superior legal representation for accident victims. Call us at 718-896-2700 or complete our online form to schedule a free consultation.

May 2, 2014, New York, NY -- The Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) announced that a new Director of NFTY. Micol Zimmerman Burkeman took the helm of the Reform Jewish Youth Movement this week.
"For 75 years, NFTY has had a profound impact on Jewish life in North America," said URJ Director of Youth Engagement Rabbi Bradley Solmsen. "Expanding NFTY is at the core of the Union for Reform Judaism's Campaign for Youth Engagement's new strategy and we are thrilled to have Micol on board to lead NFTY in this ambitious re-visioning."
Ms. Zimmerman Burkeman received her B.A. in Communication at the University of Southern California and her Masters in Jewish Education from the Rhea Hirsch School of Education at Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles. She was the recipient of the David and Shirley Toomim Foundation Scholarship and The Rabbi Mordecai and Eve Soloff Award for Excellence in Jewish Education. She has spent the past 13 years working in Jewish education, including camp, synagogues, and most recently at The Jewish Education Project in New York, where she worked to support youth professionals and elevate the field of Jewish teen engagement. Ms. Zimmerman Burkeman lives in Port Washington, NY, with her husband Reform Rabbi Danny Burkeman and their daughter Gabriella, and is a proud member of The Community Synagogue. Her brother, Rabbi Brian Zimmerman, and her father Rabbi Sheldon Zimmerman, are also Reform rabbis.
The URJ conducted an extensive North American search for NFTY Director and sought an individual with expertise in the area of professional development, which is a cornerstone of the Campaign for Youth Engagement. "Micol, is the right person for the job," said Rabbi Solmsen. "In her most recent position with the Jewish Education Project in New York, she focused on providing resources, training, and support to professionals who work with youth."
"As a proud URJ camp, NFTY, and NFTY in Israel alum, I know firsthand the transformative and life-changing impact that these experiences can have on the life of a teen," said Ms. Zimmerman Burkeman. "It is a dream come true to have the opportunity to help craft and share these experiences with a new generation of teens and generations to come. I am thrilled to join this exceptional team in creating an inspiring vision for youth engagement. And I am honored to accompany these incredible NFTY teens on the journey of a lifetime."
"I am excited to see how Micol brings her unique experience, expertise, and insight to the table when working with NFTY teens, professional staff, and the communities we serve," said current NFTY President Andrew Keene. "And I am confident she will elevate the work of NFTY as we continue to meaningfully engage more and more young people and in Reform Jewish life!"
About NFTY
For 75 years, NFTY--in congregations, in 19 geographic regions, and throughout North America--has offered thousands of young people the opportunity to explore and live Reform Judaism. NFTYites actively create their Jewish identity in consonance with the goals and values of Reform Judaism. In the coming year, NFTY will launch NFTY6, which will expand programming to 6th graders. Learn more at nfty.org.
In honor of NFTY's 75th year, the URJ will reconnect with 75,000 alumni from all its youth programs during the coming year, reengaging adults as mentors, advocates, and supporters of our young people. Alumni and friends are invited to join the network and share their memories for the NFTY archives.

Wisdom Quarterly; Daniel Estrin, TheWorld.org (PRI)
|"A Time to Love: The Newlywed's Guide..."
Sex is a touchy subject. Especially in one of the world's most cloistered societies -- Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jewish community. That community places a high value on modesty, which means sex-ED hardly exists, boys and girls rarely make eye contact, and many couples have little idea what to expect on their wedding night.
But an Orthodox Jewish sex therapist in Jerusalem is trying to break the ice. He's come out with a book which he says is the first explicit sex guide written strictly for devout Jews. Reporter Daniel Estrin read the book and made an appointment with the therapist for a frank talk about Orthodox Jewish sex.
There used to be a sex shop on the way to Dr. David Ribner's office in downtown Jerusalem. The sign's still there -- big red letters spelling out: Sex Shop, Sex, Love.
But you can barely read it because it's been scratched out. The shop went out of business. No surprise for a city brimming with the pious. More
