Old Arthur's board: on the capacious round
Ah! what a weary race my feet have run,
When now mature in classic knowledge,
Our pupil's hopes, though twice defeated,
When nine full tedious winters past,
6. These fellowships are pretty things,
Too fond of freedom and of ease
Continuing this fantastic farce on,
Thus fixt, content he taps his barrel,
Of Oxford pranks facetious tells,
When calm around the common room And—but on Sundays-hears no bells;
I puff'd my daily pipe's perfume ! Sends presents of his choicest fruit,
Rode for a stomach, and inspected, And prunes himself each sapless shoot;
At annual bottlings, corks selected: Plants cauliflow'rs, and boasts to rear
And din'd untax'd, untroubled, under The earliest melons of the year;
The portrait of our pious founder! Thinks alteration charming work is,
When impositions were supply'd Keeps bantam cocks, and feeds his turkies;
To light my pipe-or soothe my prideBuilds in his copse a fav'rite bench,
No cares were then for forward peas, And stores the pond with carp and tench.
A yearly-longing wife to please; But ah! too soon his thoughtless breast
My thoughts no christ'ning dinners crost, By cares domestic is opprest;
No children cry'd for butter'd toast; And a third butcher's bill, and brewing,
And ev'ry night I went to bed, Threaten inevitable ruin:
Without a modus in my head !" For children fresh expenses yet,
Oh! trifling head, and fickle heart ! And Dicky now for school is fit.
Chagrin'd at whatsoe'er thou art; " Why did I sell my college life
A dupe to follies yet untry'd, (He cries) for benefice and wife?
And sick of pleasures scarce enjoy'd ! Return, ye days! when endless pleasure
Each prize possess'd, thy transport ceases, I found in reading, or in leisure !
And in pursuit alone it pleases.
I am out of humanity's reach,
I must finish my journey alone, Never hear the sweet music of speech,
I start at the sound of my own, The beasts, that roam over the plain,
My form with indifference see; They are so unacquainted with man,
Their tameness is shocking to me.
Society, friendship, and love,
Divinely bestowed upon man, Oh, had I the wings of a dove,
How soon would I taste you again! My sorrows I then might assuage
In the ways of religion and truth; Might learn from the wisdom of age,
And be cheered by the sallies of youth.
Religion! what treasure untold
Resides in that heavenly word! More precious than silver and gold,
Or all that this earth can afford. But the sound of the church-going bell
These vallies and rocks never heard, Never sighed at the sound of a knell,
Or smiled when a sabbath appeared.
Ye nymphs! if e'er your eyes were red
O share Maria's grief!
Assassined by a thief.
And though by nature mute,
Of flagelet or flute.
His bosom of the hue,
To sweep up all the dew.
No cat had leave to dwell;
Large-built and latticed well.
For Bully's plumage sake, But smooth with wands from Ouse's side, With which, when neatly peeled and dried,
The swains their baskets make.
Ye winds, that have made me your sport,
Convey to this desolate shore
Of a land, I shall visit no more.
A wish or a thought after me?
Though a friend I am never to see.
Ilow fleet is a glance of the mind!
Compared with the speed of its flight, The tempest itself lags behind,
And the swift-winged arrows of light.
Night veiled the pole. All seemed secure. When led by instinct sharp and sure,
Subsistence to provide,
A beast forth-sallied on the scout,
THE POET'S NEW-YEAR'S GIFT Long-backed, long-tailed, with whisker'd snout, And badger-coloured bide.
TO MRS. (NOW LADY) THROCKMORTON. He, entering at the study-door,
Maria! I have every good
For thee wished many a time,
Both sad, and in a cheerful mood,
But never yet in rhyme.
To wish thee fairer is no need,
More prudent, or more sprightly,
Or more ingenious, or more freed
From temper-flaws unsightly.
What favour then not yet possest
Can I for thee require,
In wedded love already blest,
To thy whole heart's desire?
None here is happy but in part:
Full bliss is bliss divine;
There dwells some wish in every heart, Minute the horrors that ensued;
And doubtless one in thine.
That wish on some fair future day,
Which fate shall brightly gild,
('Tis blameless, be it what it may)
I wish it all fulfilled.
I shall not ask Jean Jacques Rousseau,
If birds confabulate or no;
'Tis clear that they were always able His head alone remained to tell
To hold discourse, at least in fable;
And e'en the child who knows no better,
Must have a most uncommon skull.
It chanced then on a winter's day,
But warm, and bright, and calm as May, Which Mary to Anna conveyed,
The birds, conceiving a design
To forestall sweet St. Valentine, The plentiful moisture incumbered the flower,
In many an orchard, copse, and grove, And weighed down its beautiful head.
Assembled on affairs of love, The cup was all filled, and the leaves were all wet; And with much twitter and much chatter, And it seemed, to a fanciful view,
Began to agitate the matter. To weep for the buds it had left with regret,
At length a Bulfinch, who could boast On the flourishing bush where it grew.
More years and wisdom than the most,
Entreated, opening wide his beak, I hastily seized it, unfit as it was
A moment's liberty to speak; For a nosegay, so dripping and drown'd,
And, silence publicly enjoined, And swinging it rudely, too rudely, alas!
Delivered briefly thus his mind. I snapped it, it fell to the ground.
My friends! be cautious how ye treat
The subject upon which we meet; And such, I exclaimed, is the pitiless part
I fear we shall have winter yet. Some act by the delicate mind,
A Finch, whose tongue knew no control, Regardless of wringing and breaking a heart Already to sorrow resigned.
With golden wing, and satin pole,
A last year's bird, who ne'er had tried This elegant rose, had I shaken it less,
What marriage ineans, thus pert replied. Might have bloomed with its owner a while, Methinks the gentleman, quoth she, And the tear, that is wiped with a little address, Opposite in the apple-tree, May be followed perhaps by a smile.
By his good will would keep us single,
Till yonder heaven and earth shall mingle,
Beau marked my unsuccessful pains Or (which is likelier to befal)
With fixt considerate face, Till death exterminate us all.
And puzzling sat his puppy brains
To comprehend the case.
But with a chirrup clear and strong,
Dispersing all his dream, Attested, glad, his approbation
I thence withdrew, and followed long Of an immediate conjugation.
The windings of the stream. Their sentiments so well exprest
My ramble finished, I returned, Influenced mightily the rest,
Beau trotting far before All paired, and each pair built a nest.
The floating wreath again discerned,
And plunging left the shore.
I saw him with that lily eropped
Impatient swim to meet Not altogether smiled on theirs.
My quick approach, and soon he dropped The wind, of late breathed gently forth,
The treasure at my feet.
Charmed with the sight, the world, I cried, Could shelter them from rain or snow;
Shall hear of this thy deed : Stepping into their nests, they paddled,
My dog shall mortify the pride
Of man's superior breed:
But chief myself I will enjoin,
Awake at duty's call, Except that they had ever met,
To shew a love as prompt as thine And learned in future to be wiser,
To Him who gives me all. Than to neglect a good adviser.
Misses! the tale that I relate
This lesson seems to carry
But proper time to marry.
The noon was shady, and soft airs
Swept Ouse's silent tide,
I wandered on his side.
And high in pedigree,
That spaniel found for me)
Now starting into sight,
With scarce a slower flight.
His lilies newly blown;
And one I wished my own.
To steer it close to land;
Escaped my eager hand.
An Oyster, cast upon the shore,
Ah, hapless wretch! condemned to dwell
When, cry the botanists, and stare,
You shapeless nothing in a dish,

Whether it be wantonly distributing red envelopes filled with money or staging elaborate donation drives, Chinese billionaire Chen Guangbiao believes in flashy philanthropy.
However, controversy surrounds his intentions as many scrutinize and protest his actions, including government officials.
The Taiwan Times reports that he has started a week-long philanthropic circuit in Taiwan both to garner and give more donations.
In Taiwan, he doled out over $250,000 in red envelopes to those in need on Wednesday, as well as announcing additional donations to organizations devoted to social welfare.
The China Post reported that Chen considered his visit a "thanks-giving" trip, repaying Taiwan for donations made to China's earthquake relief in 2008.
Even so, the Hong Kong Standard reported on protests staged outside of his events, as some claimed his actions to be veiled communist propaganda. Chen maintained his position, telling the Standard:
"I don't know anything about propaganda for Chinese reunification. I only know about charity and environmental work. I just want to do good."
The protesters aren't the only ones skeptical of his motives. Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council Deputy Minister Liu Te-shun told the Taipei Times that his style of giving made the Taiwanese government hesitate before granting him approval to visit. Liu thought the amount of money Chen disperses causes more burden than relief for the poor. He told the Times:
"It is a good thing to bring a little warmth in the chill of winter, but due to Chen's particular style, the low-income families [who receive money] are faced with a challenge."
Some site Chen's actions as being unrealistic. Robert Frank of the Wall Street Journal recently blogged about Chen, saying that his style clashes with modern philanthropic strategy.
"Rich people in America also sneer at such give-aways. The fad among today's venture philanthropists is to target their dollars to solve a larger social problem, not give away cash to the poor."
In recent years, Chen has repeadedly made headlines with his showy displays of handouts. In February of 2010, Chen had a wall of 100-yuan bills constructed before donating the funds to the poorest areas of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan districts in China.
During the event, Chen told Beijing Today:
"I've been a philanthropist for 10 years. Although there are people saying I'm putting on a show, I'm hoping more will emulate my 'performance.' If more people did, more needy people would get help."
In September of 2010, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett visited China in an effort to encourage philanthropy among the world's richest. During a meeting with Gates and Buffett, Chen announced in an open letter that he would donate all of his weath to charity after his death. He told the Associated Press:
"I'm a rich man, but I don't want to be a miser. China's economic reform started only 30 years ago. For lots of people who became rich, they believe they earned their fortune through hard work. They don't think about society and only want to leave their fortune to their children."

Does your child love to read??
Well, mine doesn't love it.
He has been a struggling reader, a reluctant reader, a complaining reader, a bored reader, a frustrated reader….
You get the picture.
However, recently we have emerged into new territory. He is now a slightly confident reader who is branching out and finding books he enjoys. Dare I say that he might occasionally enjoy reading? He just might! Maybe….
Whether you have a somewhat reluctant reader or an eager reader, you can never have too many wonderful books to keep them busy.
Today I'm sharing the list of the books my son chose as his current favorites.
If you look through this list you will see that the reading level varies widely!
- Sometimes he still reads books that are below his reading level. I encourage this to help him build his fluency.
- Sometimes he reads books that are right on target for his level. With these books he can simply enjoy the story and continue to work on his reading skills.
- Sometimes he reads books that are challenging for him, but he's motivated to continue because the storyline is so compelling. These books push him to build on his reading and comprehension skills.
So, if you look through this list, you'll see books in each of the above categories. I love that he has a varied book list. But I'm most excited that he was able to choose so many books that he is currently enjoying.
Did you read that? He is ENJOYING books.
Maybe some of these books will prove enjoyable at your house too!
A Book List for 9-Year-Old Boys (and girls too)
My son just recently began reading this series and he is hooked. The books are about two kids who are an apprentice to a vet who treats imaginary creatures. You can imagine all the crazy adventures that follow as they help unicorns, lake monsters, and sasquatch.
Take a road trip to some of the most outlandish destinations in the U.S. and learn some geography along the way. My son enjoys these adventures and I don't bother to tell him that he might actually be learning something.
Follow a family of treasure hunters as they explore the world, escape from villains, and plan daring rescues. These books from James Patterson are exciting and sometimes even funny!
My son started reading this on the recommendation of his sister and he has really enjoyed these fairy tale adventures. In the books, two kids find themselves in a magical fairytale land and they have to face witches, wolves, goblins, and trolls as they battle to make it back home.
These books are all based on huge historical catastrophes. They are each centered on a child who was able to escape the disaster. Lots of historical tidbits are woven into the stories.
This is a series of easy readers, but my son has thoroughly enjoyed the storyline. The books tell of three friends who find a mysterious room under that stairs that transports them to another land.
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library
This is a favorite of all of my kids. We've read this book multiple times as a read aloud. My son was finally brave enough to read it on his own and he could not put it down. In the book, an eccentric game maker creates a game in the town's new library and in order to escape the library, the children must put together all the clues.
This is the most challenging book that my son has attempted so far. He is enjoying the story line even if the book took him a long time to finish. The story of a young girl who suddenly appears out of library book, her quest to find her father, and one boy's adventure into another book, proved interesting enough to compel him to keep reading.
A search and rescue dog who is too distracted to pass his test, finds items that transport him back into history where he is able to provide help and ultimately save the day.
Lemony Snicket – A Series of Unfortunate Events
My son enjoys the dark humor and the colorful characters in this series of unfortunate events that befall some poor and very unlucky children.
These graphic books are probably some of my son's favorites. He loves the outlandish villains and the robot who helps to save the day. He has read all of the books in this series multiple times.
Each book in this series starts with a different letter of the alphabet in this series of easy chapter books. Who doesn't love a good mystery book?
So, there's our list of current favorites. I'm now starting a new search to refill his bookshelves with new choices to keep encouraging him to read!
If you're looking to add to your bookshelves too, you might consider this wonderful book. I have found many great book ideas between its pages!
And you can also sign up for my newsletter and receive my complete Preschool – 5th Grade book list delivered right to your inbox. There are over 400 book titles included in the list!
Do you have a struggling reader too?
I've shared about some of our reading struggles in the past, but if you are dealing with the same challenges in your homeschool you might want to read some of my posts about our reading difficulties.

Recently, Imy Santiago posted a review on an e-book. There is obviously nothing out of the ordinary in the statement. It is what happened next that is really quite strange. Apparently, Amazon kept removing the review because it was violation of the site's policy, although that wasn't a clear reason as to why they were removing the review.
When Mrs. Santiago pushed the e-retail giant, they replied back explaining that the reason why they kept removing the review, is because she knew the author personally. At first, she was satisfied with the response. It helps the website to avoid any unethical reviews and also prevent unworthy titles from getting fake praise.
But then you start asking questions. The first thing that comes to your mind, is that how did Amazon know that you knew the author personally?
In the case of Santiago, she said that she started following the author on social media after reading their first book. According to her, that's the only relationship she has with the author.
If we want to jump to conclusions, we can say that Amazon has been data mining their customers to know more about their activities and understand them. So far, it looks as though Facebook and Twitter are the company's primary sites to mine data about their users, although we are in the dark as to how they are managing to go so deep and monitor a single relationship.
At present, we may be waiting a while before we find out (if ever) exactly what the secretive company does to get the information, and how it was able to make the connection between Imy Santiago and the author of the e-book.

For single users, having a virtual hosting local setup is great! It is even part of the process when working with other users, but having a hardware development ESXI box can be an awesome thing for several reasons.
There are many used servers that are relatively cheap. But wait, aren't used servers rather dangerous to use (near end of life)? The thing with servers is, Hard Drives will (generally) go down long before the non-moving components in the server such as the motherboard, ram, power supply, etc. so if you get new drives, you could easily get years out of a used server (though I would be wary using a used server for production). It can be great, but you must be careful or your sites will possibly go down if your server goes bad.

Friday, April 27: Worst U.S. Ship Disaster
Profile America — Friday, April 27th. The world recently noted the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. But today is the anniversary of America's worst waterborne disaster in 1865 — one which had greater loss of life. And it happened hundreds of miles inland.
Moving up the flooded Mississippi River near Memphis at night, the wooden steamboat Sultana's boilers suddenly exploded, and the boat burned and sank. It was badly overloaded with more than 2,000 passengers; up to 1,700 of them died. With President Lincoln's recent assassination, and the Civil War winding down, the disaster created little notice and is now almost forgotten. Today, Mississippi River boats carry few passengers, but each year move 622 million tons of cargo along the river. Profile America is completing its 15th year as a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.

This was a fun page to create as the digital kit included some PhotoShop brushes. I think I used several of them creating this page. The kit by Penny Springmann is called "Family Time."
This page was created with a elegant kit by LDrag Designs called "Timeless." I love the soft colors! Here is the sketch for the layouts.

Nick Vijicic was born without arms or legs. His life has been dedicated to overcoming his disabilities to achieve independence, freedom and happiness. He has devoted himself to sharing his love for God by speaking to people throughout the world about his experiences and trials. God and his family have been a source of strength and happiness throughout his life. Nick shares stories and pieces of his life in the hopes that others will find that strength to overcome their difficulties and lead a positive, fulfilling life.
I really enjoyed reading through this book. There is nothing like gaining some perspective when you think you've got something that is challenging. Many times throughout the week as I was reading this book I would find myself complaining about something that I found hard or frustrating and then I would think to myself, "well, at least you have arms and legs to make this frustration easier! And if Nick can do it, so can you." Nick is surely an inspiration and a good example to any who hear his story. I have related parts of Nick's story to my children at various times because again, it's that perspective. I am grateful for Nick's life and message of hope and faith. He has made his life something that God would be proud of. Something that can bless all of God's children.

Google Glass: How it Feels
Google offers a better look at their highly anticipated wearable computing project, Glass. The video gives us a better idea of how the final user interface is going to look and feel, as well the feature set we could expect when the device finally launches for consumers later this year. Google is also opening up orders beyond their developer program to "creative individuals" who are willing to fill out a short application using Google+ or Twitter on what you would do if you had a pair of Glass. Deadline for applications is February 27th and if you're chosen you'll need to pony up $1,500 for the Explorer Edition of which they will have special "pick-up experiences" in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

Verdi's third opera Nabucco put him on the musical mapand brought him scandalwhen performed in 1842 Italy. Based on the biblical story of King Nebuchadnezzar's banishment of the Jews from Babylon in 543 B.C., passionate opera-goers demanded a then-illegal encore. The "Va, pensiero" choruswhen Hebrew slaves cry out for their homelandstill receives an encore when performed. The Dallas Opera opens their 2006 season with Nabucco next month, but you can hear the DCO Chorus perform highlights on Wednesday when Congregation Shearith Israel and Dallas Holocaust Museum present "A Night to Remember: Recollections of a People in Bondage." A panel of local historians and musicologists will lead a rousing audience discussion about politics and sufferings of oppressed peopleboth then and now.

Guest Commentary by Kip Hansen
The New York Times has set a new standard of scientific misrepresentation in this front page title to the latest climate change consensus salvo from Justin Gillis. On the front page of the online edition of the NY Times for 26 June 2017, the title is given: "Sharp Rise in Levels of Earth-Scorching Carbon Dioxide"
The actual title of the article, once one clicks through to it, is "Carbon in Atmosphere Is Rising, Even as Emissions Stabilize".
Who knows who at the NY Times thinks that characterizing CO2 as "Earth-scorching" is a valid scientific description of one of the absolutely necessary-for-life trace gases in the Earth's atmosphere. It certainly is not a proper journalistic description.
My objection is that it is a serious violation of Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Ethics specifically:

Just saw Atlantis take off it's always fun to watch that machine propel upwards, It was traveling at 13,000mph they said. It was clear as a bell, but I really like those night launches even more.
Last night I spun the art wheels beginning at Seminole State College in their art gallery. To my pleasant surprise, Megan Paquette in now the curator, they selected a winner in Megan. Just walking into the duel exhibit of Kathleen Kent Chenet and Terry Trambauer Norris you could tell what kind of eye Megan had with how she hung the show, it was perfecto.
The atmosphere though relaxed had a classical feel to it, Kathleen's style is easy on the eye, good prosaic scenes, nice fit, a Naturalizer if it was a shoe. Terry's still lifes were a classic, the oil painting you view upon walking in was a stunner! Her work makes you blink your eyes to make sure these are paintings, what realism! These were masterful strokes. And I admired the frame choices of both women, the show was classy.
After eating eating a couple little pastries, I headed out to Sanford de Mayo and it was poppin' and hoppin'!
People were lined up for food tickets, art vendors lined the streets, it was one of the best third Thursdays I have seen. I heard many vendors ran out of food early.
I walked along to the Art Affair Gallery to get my "badge" and there was my son Adam and his friend Antonio, I saw them briefly and lost them to the crowd. I worked my way up the crowds down First Street. Stopped into Jeanine Taylor's Art Gallery – Gallery On First and as always enjoyed the view. I was happy to see that Cherie Dacko was in and was working on a spectacular new edition to her work. She has a style that is so much fun and full of a weird irony in the faces of her subjects, I have to wait till this particular piece is finished, then I hope I can post it – I adored it, could hardly stop looking at it. Cherie was chatting with Aurore Brunet whose use of color livens up any room. It's great to chat with these artists, if they are there when you visit, they won't bite I promise! Talk to them, give them your thoughts, ask them questions, they enjoy that the public is noticing.
I stopped at Sandra Sheetz Wise's table, she is an Ovation-TV artist and has articles written about her work recently in Sacramento Talent Magazine and the June issue of Time South, both extremely complimentary toward her surrealistic style. Again, irony and surrealism feeding off each other . She has a wonderful style which suits her. Her messages are painted for you to discover, her link: http://sandrascheetzwise.com There was a lot of jewelry booths, wood working booths and a few photography booths.
Wood worker David L. Dotterer, can be contacted at (cut and paste) firstname.lastname@example.com There was a very tattooed singer belting out his music sorry, can't see the tattoos from there. The music was LOUD – REALLY LOUD. Stopped by Washburns, the unique furniture is just worth taking the drive to see. If only my home wasn't packed already.
Loved these huge "masks"
Headed back to base at Art Affair Gallery where Julie Kessler had the main room and she deserves her place. She had many metal sculptures, all so interesting. I'll let the photos speak for her.
The hearts were all wonderfully detailed – well thought out as all Julie's work is. Of course she has her collage/paintings too and more metal .
There was other new works and more artists to show off at Art Affair Gallery and owner Ronda Richley is great with a brush too.
Marie DeCosta's colorful flowers were stunning. She and Ken Elliott both have photography work also, check for last months blog.
There were small prints by Beau Wild her work is richly detailed, liked her subject choice.
Tom Abbott was there and his work is very dimensional and cool!
and my favorite The dimension and coloring is beautifully entwined. Of course there was more, and I can't name all the artists , but have a look at some more works: The flower on this was huge and dimensional. Loved the colors of it. Peter Cerreta's monkey acrylic was masculine and I liked the composition of his work. And of course the mini items, affordable and fun. Even the clocks are a perfect gift for anyone. Of course, I must mention Mauricio Murillo and his Gummy Art, he is doing so well with his work, had great showing in Washington DC and will be in Ybor City soon, here's a couple pieces.
OH MY, I almost forgot about Leon who does the food for Art Affair, he also has a blog as he is a food critic. Need any advice on anything related to food? Want the scoop on where to eat? http://lakemaryfoodcritic.blogspot.com
Then it was back to the streets to go home. Art Affair Gallery http://artaffairgallery.com
Whoops didn't ask permission, so blurred the face. Ran into Paul Ingwalson my old next door neighbor, he is a good photography mentor, gave me a lot of advice and he is a terrific study in inventory. His Landscape and Wildlife Photography is refreshing, he studied in Daytona before taking on photography and he travels a lot which gave him the photo-itch. He is also doing large canvas work too.
Paul Ingwalson photography
I also saw the artistry of Alberto Quintero http://www.xcreativegroup,com/alberto his creations were beautifully crafted.
Stopped by Riverhouse Pottery, the colors inside are always so inviting, there is an excitement about that place. Saw my Facebook friend Cecil Herrings featured works, she is a creative soul for sure. and what a fun area they have in the back of their buildings. Then as I was almost to the car, I crossed the path of glass blower, Steven Monser who has Monser Glass Studio, monserglassstudio.com – what gorgeous and colorful pieces he has. His studio is in Lake Mary, here's a sampling:
and one he asked about the shape It was gorgeous! Aw, if only I had an unlimited credit card! There is so much I would want to buy! Now go out and support the local artist community!

Hydro ratepayers will save 25 per cent on their bills starting this summer, but face an extra $25 billion in interest charges over the next 30 years under the Liberal government's electricity relief plan.
The additional cost is the trade-off for easing prices now, said Premier Kathleen Wynne, who is struggling in the polls with an election just 15 months away.
Wynne compared her plan to a homeowner extending a mortgage term to get lower monthly payments.
"I don't expect a celebration as we make these announcements today. People are struggling with electricity costs that are too much for their families to bear," she told reporters Thursday.
"For too long, governments — my own included — have made mistakes in the way we've structured Ontario's electricity system."
Billions in new hydro system investments were being billed to ratepayers over 20 years, and the government has decided to amortize those costs over 30 years, at an annual cost to the treasury of $1.83 billion.
Hydro bills will increase no more than the rate of inflation, about two per cent, over the next four years, and this spring's budget will be balanced as forecast, Wynne pledged.
The average residential hydro bill has jumped from $91 a month in 2005 to $156 last year.
Many consumers in rural and northern areas, who rely on electric baseboard heat, pay hundreds more.
Opposition parties said the plan amounts to short-term gain for long-term pain as the Liberals try to revive their political fortunes — and Ontarians will foot the bill.
"I want to see a drop in hydro rates. I think that everyone that pays a hydro bill wants to see a drop. But . . . the majority of people are going to be disappointed that this is just for show," said Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown.
"This is a Band-Aid on a bullet wound."
New Democrats questioned why the government is borrowing billions for the rate relief after Wynne insisted new subways and other infrastructure couldn't be built unless money was raised by privatizing Hydro One.
"It makes no sense," said Deputy NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, whose party released a plan Monday promising rate relief of 17 per cent to 30 per cent, in part, by renegotiating hydro generating contracts and buying back Hydro One shares.
Brown, who is ahead of Wynne in public opinion polls, said his Conservatives will finally unveil their hydro platform within the next few weeks.
It could be a scramble for a party that, until Wednesday, was saying Ontarians would have to wait until after a November policy convention for details.
As first revealed by the Star, the 25-per-cent hydro rate cut includes an eight-pe-cent rebate of the provincial portion of the harmonized sales tax that took effect Jan. 1.
MPPs must pass legislation on the further rate relief, which will average 25 per cent for the typical homeowner, but could reach "40 to 50 per cent" in rural and northern areas with high delivery charges, said Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault.
Hydro One customers, including cottagers, will enjoy bills that average 31 per cent less, said Ferio Pugliese, the utility's executive vice-president of customer and corporate affairs.
Brown said it's too early to say whether his party would support the rate cut legislation, while Singh said the NDP will give it "thoughtful consideration."
Not mentioning him by name, Wynne blamed her Liberal predecessor, former premier Dalton McGuinty, for making a "mistake" in the way energy investments were financed after 2005.
"We asked one generation, today's generation, to unfairly shoulder the burden of nearly all of those costs. We had to play catch-up and we asked today's ratepayers to cover nearly the whole tab," the premier said.
The impact for customers will be noticed on the "global adjustment" line of hydro bills after legislation passes at Queen's Park this spring
That's the levy McGuinty added to bills in 2005 to bankroll $50 billion in power contracts with public and private generators, who are paid more than the market price for the electricity they produce.
The global adjustment also covers the premiums paid to green energy generators, such as wind and solar companies that sell power to the electricity grid.
There will also be new measures to subsidize rates, including offsetting the cripplingly high delivery charges in rural areas. These steps will cost the government's treasury, and taxpayers, $2.5 billion more over the next three years, or about $833 million annually.
These subsidies will no longer come out of hydro bills.
About 350,000 rural customers are now getting help, but that will rise to some 800,000 households in areas with the highest hydro costs.
As well, low-income families will benefit from a 50-per-cent increase in subsidies under the Ontario Electricity Support Program, raising monthly credits on the low end to $45 and $68 at the high end, for households with the largest families and electric heat or medical devices that must be plugged in.
First Nations households on reserves will have their delivery charges covered.
Ontarians in arrears on their hydro bills must still find a way to settle up through longer-term payment plans, Thibeault said. About 60,000 people had their hydro disconnected last year for non-payment, but the Legislature passed a bill last week banning winter disconnections.
Customers who are not now eligible for low-income conservation programs will be able to apply for help from a new "affordability fund" to help with improvements to ensure energy efficiency, he added.
A budget for that fund has not been set, but officials said it would be designed so that people can get assistance without having to put substantial amounts of their own money on the table to qualify.

Hi Andrew,
EgoWeb 2.0 will do this. I know this because we have done this on one of our projects. It sounds like we added functions into EgoWeb to do exactly what you are trying to do.
We had a roster of students with email addresses and sent them invitations to the survey via links that were generated uniquely for their email. Once they entered the survey, they were asked to name their friends in school. The entire roster was pre-loaded and as they typed a name, matching names appear and they were able to select the matching name and then go on to add the other alter names. Once the names are entered, you can program EgoWeb to ask Likert scale questions about each of these alters either one by one or for a list of them (one row per alter).
It is open source so if it does not function exactly as you want it to, it can be modified. You can get more info at our documentation page (egoweb.info – a work in progress) or download it (and get more documentation) directly from github: https://github.com/qualintitative/egoweb

Subject: [SOCNET] Online survey tool that offers name-generator/name-interpreter functionality.
***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org *****
I am looking for an online survey tool that has built-in name-generator/name-interpreter functionality. Lime Survey has a template to do this but this presumes I have Java/Javascript programming skills.
I have a list of names and associated email addresses. Everybody on this list will be invited to participate in an online survey. Respondents will be asked to select names from the list they have specific types of social relations with (name-generator question). For each selected name, respondents will be asked to describe something about that social relationship with that person using a 5 or 7 point Likert scale (name interpreter question(s)).
I am struggling to find an easy way to do this. Any suggestions? Thanking you in advance.

A decade after the original film's release, a sequel to the critically acclaimed cult sci-fi film The Man From Earth is in the works, with Vanessa Williams, Sterling Knight, Brittany Curran, Carlos Knight, and Akemi Look joining the cast. To be titled The Man From Earth: Holocene, the film sees the return of David Lee Smith in the lead role, and William Katt. The Man From Earth director Richard Schenkman is returning as well, with shooting set to begin in June and release scheduled TBD 2017. The original film focused on John Oldman (Smith), a man who has lived for millennia, always moving on after ten years to hide his secret. The story told over the course of an intense evening conversation between Oldman and his acquaintances. Details about the sequel are being kept under wraps, but the term "Holocene" describes the historical period stretching from the end of the most recent ice age to the current day. Schenkman is co-writing the script alongside Emerson Bixby, son of of the late Jerome Bixby who wrote the original film. Schenkman also produces alongside Eric D. Wilkinson, with Bixby aboard as executive producer through his Falling Sky Entertainment Banner. The Man From Earth: Holocene is based on a story by Schenkman & Wilkinson.

Have you ever thought about how trains stay on the tracks when they round corners? Trains typically have wheels that are connected together by a fixed axle, meaning that the wheels on both sides of the train always turn at the same speed. This can present problems when turning, because one wheel has to cover more distance than the other.
Most vehicles solve this problem by decoupling the wheels. In a car, for instance, the left and right wheels turn at different speeds when rounding corners. But that's impossible to do in a train, so how do locomotives stay on a bending rail? The above video by Numberphile explains.
More From Popular Mechanics
Train wheels aren't perfect cylinders. They're beveled to make them wider on the inside. This means that when the train shifts left or right on the track, the diameter of the wheels can change. But because the wheels are connected by an axle, they still spin at the same rate. Effectively, this means that the wheels will travel different distances per revolution.
The wheel bevels are specifically designed so that when the train goes around a corner it stays on the tracks. The wheels that have to travel a greater distance have a greater diameter, and everything stays aligned. The end result is a train that stays on the tracks.

Well that was fast. Rather than stretch out Gareth and the other Terminus survivors as recurring threats lurking in the shadows, "Strangers" follows the premiere's lead, diving right in with irrevocable results. This quick-burn approach to plot is a welcome change for the series and one that will hopefully continue, at least for a while. The closing scene is an effective one, opting for certainty over a cliffhanger—rather than question whether the Terminus stragglers (including Martin, or as regular reviewer Zack Handlen has so lovingly dubbed him, the Asshole) will hurt Bob, the camera pulls back to reveal that they already have. It's a viscerally disturbing moment (though for those curious, yes, it could be worse) and one that demonstrates commitment on the part of the writers to this storyline. Showrunner Scott M. Gimple seems to have learned from the mistakes of the post-Woodbury Governor arc, tightening the shading of the villain from a mini-arc to bookends in the premiere and teasing the possibility not of foes hiding out of sight, but an ally, Morgan.
Bob's amputated leg may be a surprise, but with so many shots of him and Sasha cozying up together, "Strangers" telegraphs harm coming his way almost immediately. The Walking Dead has played with the theme of survival versus living several times, often paying it mere lip service before moving on, but here it is prominently featured, with Bob, Carl, and Abraham each making their own pitch for life: Bob's an optimist, Carl a pragmatist, and Abraham a pitch man. Abraham is selling, and hard, with promises of safety and comfort waiting in D.C. that this group should see through immediately, but it's Carl's approach that likely convinces Rick. He knows better than to think safety is out there somewhere for him and his group, but if they're going to keep moving, why not head to D.C.? As the group eats dinner, they're bathed in warm light—a stark contrast to their emotionless episode-opening march—showing the power and comfort of aspiring to more than mere survival. Rather than undercut or devalue this with the final scene, the series leaves the topic open for debate by crippling but not killing Bob—how does an optimist react to being irreparably harmed, but not immediately killed?
The most compelling case for life over survival, however, comes from Michonne. While many fans will miss her katana, it's lovely to hear that she doesn't. Michonne has come a long way over the past two seasons; she's much more than the woman with the sword. It's great to see the show recognize and embrace this. Her conversation with Rick works well, checking in on their relationship and nodding to the audience, who may have been wondering what had come of the katana. There are several such interactions in this episode and unfortunately, most are not nearly as successful. The entire first act of the episode slows the energy and pace of the premiere down to a crawl, with one unnecessary and clunky exchange after another.
Whereas Michonne and Rick are pushing a cart together, giving them a reason to catch up, Tara and Rick's conversation is labored at best. They had plenty of time to go over any lingering resentments in the Terminus boxcar. Everything shown here is solely for the audience's benefit and neither the script nor performances hide this. Also extraneous, though well-shot, is Carol's talk at the creek with Tyreese. There's no need to catch the viewer up on who knows which dark secrets, particularly when Carol shows her reticent to speak about the girls so soon afterwards with Daryl, in the best of the episode's brief exchanges, successful precisely because the two do so little talking as they sit watch. Carol's earlier scene with Rick fares better, but is similarly stilted. The lighting is gorgeous, which certainly helps, but again, the dialogue feels completely inorganic and strained. Rick's, "Will you have us?" is a surprise though, and a nice, compassionate note to end on.

This may be a conversation-heavy episode, but as The Walking Dead so often does, it also delivers a compelling and inventive central action set piece. The newly introduced Gabriel, thankfully left somewhat of a mystery, leads the group to the food bank, where they face the show's latest twist on the undead: slimy, skeletal zombies. As in "Seed," this is the group working as a well-oiled machine and it's satisfying to see them calmly assess the seemingly perilous situation and execute their plan effectively. This is how they're still alive. The zombies are appropriately gross and the Walker in the glasses that so terrifies Gabriel (his photo at the end of the episode may contradict this, but she'll always be Grandma Ethel Zombie to me) is absolutely hilarious, but Bob's attacker is one of the least effective zombies the show's done. As for Gabriel, he's yet to make much of an impression, but his reticence with Rick is almost refreshing—the last thing the character needs is a revealing, tortured monologue. There's no sense that the group will be staying at the church for long, but it's also nice that the writers don't feel the need to rush them out the door either.
Despite its disappointing start, "Strangers" is a promising follow-up to the compelling and energetic "No Sanctuary." With much of the interpersonal politics and exposition handled, hopefully Gimple and company will be able to expand quickly on the threads established here and continue to build momentum through the season.
Stray observations:
- The ominous music at the end of Carol and Daryl's watch scene may be over the top, but the combination of electric guitar badass scoring and Western-influenced light, ostinato drums for their slow motion walk down the road is great.
- Tara's admission to Maggie of her collusion with the Governor is a lovely moment and one of the few bits of character negotiation that really did need to be addressed. That being said, she gives Tara a warm hug and Rick mentions how the group is a family, and yet the only person to say Beth's name is once again Daryl. When Beth pops back up, like she will, the writers are going to have some careful work to do trying to make Maggie never mentioning Beth feel organic.
- Carl may want to give Gabriel the benefit of the doubt, but thankfully he's not an idiot and immediately alerts Rick to his discoveries on the exterior of the church. This helps legitimize his point of view and give his opinion weight—he's not a naïve kid to be coddled, he just has a different perspective.

Charity Walk Across Staffordshire
1 April 2010
Four colleagues from Steelite International will take on the mammoth task of walking 94 miles across Staffordshire in aid of local charity Douglas Macmillan. The ladies who have been in training for a while now, will start the walk on Monday 5th April from Kinver Edge near Wolverhampton and finish on Friday 9th April at Mow Cop Castle.
Janet Knapper, event leader comments "Not only are we doing a fantastically long walk, some bright spark decided we should camp along the way. All well and good if you are a seasoned camper - but no, three out of the four of us have never been camping before so that should be fun!"
The ladies hope to raise as much money as possible for Steelite's designated charity partner for 2010, Douglas Macmillan, but have set a minimum of £1000. Most people have been affected by cancer in some way, whether it is personally, friends or family and the chosen charity is not only local, but they do a fantastic job of caring for those with life threatening illnesses and supporting their families.
The friends and colleagues hope as many people as possible will be able to join them at the finishing line at Mow Cop Castle, approximately 3pm on Friday 9th April. If you would like to join them for the last leg, be ready to depart from Rudyard Lake visitor centre at 8.30am.
"Please support with as much as you possibly can, we will be forever grateful. We know things are tough for a lot of people these days, but we would be so pleased if we could surpass our target figure as there are only four of us attempting this."
To support the walk across Staffordshire, you can donate at www.justgiving.com/StaffordshireWay-bySteelite.

A dead loon found along a winter beach in New York Harbor, bits of plastic were found in the gizzard.
"When plastic ingestion occurs, it blocks the digestive tract, gets lodged in animals windpipes cutting airflow causing suffocation, or fills the stomach, resulting in malnutrition, starvation and potentially death. Indeed, it is found that debris often accumulates in the animals' gut and give a false sense of fullness, causing the animal to stop eating and slowly starve to death." - from the article, Marine debris threaten to suffocate sea animals
At an unsettling time when science is threatened by the Trump Administration, there is no better time to launch baykeeperplasticstory.org, our new website that provides you the facts and science of plastic pollution and ways you can help!
An alarming 165 million plastic pieces are floating in the NY-NJ Harbor, based on our research, and more than 663 species are impacted by plastic pollution, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). You'll find the website uses animation and photography to explore this serious threat to our waters and the ecosystems that depend on them.
You can help reduce and prevent plastic pollution from entering local waterways by replacing single-use plastics (bags, bottles straws, utensils) with sustainable, reusable materials.
As for us, we'll continue working with federal, state and local partners and you to fight for clean, healthy waterways for all to enjoy.
Explore the story at baykeeperplasticstory.org for more ways to help and to join the conversation!
Thank you for all that you do for clean, healthy water!

I really hate plastics. Why can't other people understand the harmful effects of it, in our environment, or maybe they know but they do not care. We should all act now to save Earth, our home, before it's too late. Let's all be responsible and help each other. This problem cannot be solved with just few people or few organizations. The world's population is so huge. If we work together we can solve it. Not just plastics but any other problems that cause the nature suffer. Let's all participate to save Mother Earth for our future generation.
