Selected as Party of the Day on August 18th!
Back to School Party
Party Recap
There is no better way to end the summer than with a Back to School party! So to get everyone back in the school spirit we decided to have a party full of snacks and fun for Emma and her friends. I can't believe they are off to kindergarten this year!
Party On! Designs created the cutest set of printables incorporating chalkboards, apples and the ABCs into her designs. We used the huge chalkboard in our playroom as the centerpiece of the party! The kids thought it was fun to pretend they were in actually in school!
I found little galvanized tins in the dollar section Target that had mini chalkboard plaques on them. I filled them with pencils, chalk and rulers and placed them on the ledge of the chalkboard.
For snacks, we filled brown lunch bags with juice boxes, applesauce and goldfish and Stephanie J's Creations made the most adorable school shaped cookies. Those were the first things the kids ate!! At a kid sized table, I used composition books as placemats and filled a berry basket with apples to use as a fun centerpiece.
For a fun treat, I (Michele of Sweet Threads Clothing Co) made all the kids a back to school themed shirt. I even found fabric that was printed to look like lined notebook paper! Birdie Baby Boutique sent hair accessories for the girls. The kids loved posing with the "first day of kindergarten" sign that Party On! Designs created!
At the end of the party, all the kids got their very own personalized pencil box sent by I Have A Favor and I filled it with crayons, pencils, a pencil sharpener, an eraser and a glue stick. The kids had a blast and it was a great way to get them even more excited to start school!

text: Both Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday night praised an Illinois Senate committee's approval of a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. In a party-line vote, the committee approved measures that would ban the possession, delivery, sale and transfer of semiautomatic handguns and rifles, but would allow current owners to keep them. High-capacity ammunition magazines would be restricted. Quinn said he is very pleased the Public Health Committee took the step. "There is no place in Illinois for weapons designed to rapidly fire at human targets at close range," he said. In a statement, Emanuel said in order to protect children, families and communities, there is a need for "common-sense laws that provide the residents of our cities with the safety they deserve." Gun rights groups, however, said the measures go too far and amount to an assault-weapons ban "on steroids." Democrats are seeking restrictions in the wake of the school massacre in Connecticut last month and mass shootings in Wisconsin and Colorado last year. While the measures were approved by the committee, supporters will have a tougher sell in the full Senate, where downstate Democrats as well as Republicans are more pro-gun. One measure would ban the possession, delivery, sale and transfer of semiautomatic handguns and rifles. People who currently own such weapons could keep them but would have to register them. The bill would allow semiautomatic weapons to be used at shooting ranges, but those facilities would be regulated. National Rifle Association lobbyist Todd Vandermyde told lawmakers the bill would restrict about 75 percent of handguns and 50 percent of long guns in circulation today. He also said it would treat law-abiding gun owners like criminals, and is in conflict with Second Amendment rights upheld by the courts. "I've never seen a piece of legislation that tramples on so many court decisions," Vandermyde said. The bill's sponsor, Sen. Antonio "Tony" Munoz, disagreed. "For everyone that says that we're taking away their rights, well then go to the range," the Chicago Democrat told members of the Senate Public Health Committee. The second proposal would limit ammunition magazines and other "ammunition feeding devices" to 10 or fewer rounds. A similar measure received Senate approval in 2007, but the bill's sponsor, Sen. Dan Kotowski, downplayed the idea that a separate effort on shells stood a better chance of passage than the ban on weapons. "The reason why I'm focusing on that is because (high) magazine capacity has led to the increased lethality and the dangers associated with automatic weapons," the Park Ridge Democrat said. Gov. Pat Quinn, a Democrat, called for an assault-weapons ban in August after a mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater. But he took the approach -- highly unpopular with legislators -- of rewriting a fairly innocuous bill covering ammunition purchases, substituting language on semiautomatic weapons. That failed when the General Assembly voted to override his amendatory veto, but mostly because lawmakers thought Quinn had overstepped his authority.

Ignorance of the law is not a defense, but this is pretty absurd. Peter Shankman, a rich person with a bunch of titles, was running in Central Park at 4:30 in the morning, even though it is apparently illegal to be in Central Park between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. A cop with a tight-ass boss saw Shankman and wrote him up for breaking the 1:00 a.m. curfew.
From Shankman's Facebook post on Thursday:
At 4:30 this morning in Central Park, at mile 2 of my ten mile run, I was stopped by the police and given a summons for exercising in the park "before it opened."
To answer the question of why I was running so early - I needed to do ten miles today as part of Ironman training. If I didn't start that early, I wouldn't be done before my first meeting of the day.
A "hey, buddy, the park doesn't open until six, you need to run on the sidewalk outside" from the police officer wouldn't have sufficed? Apparently not, since he made it clear that his boss was in the car with him, so he had to write me up.
Shankman said he plans on fighting the ticket when he is due in court in May. Which means he will pay the ticket some time in May when he calms down and realizes that would be a colossal waste of his time.

Tour Style Blogger Nicolette Mason's Super Cute Brooklyn Apartment
This New York City writer-slash-blogger describes herself as Cher Horowitz meets Wednesday Addams, a quirky mix that comes through on her blog, in her closet, and, we've recently learned, around her apartment, too. Nicolette Mason's Williamsburg digs are colorful and cool, with a liberal dash of bonkers. Pretty jewels and cat tchotchkes dot her shelves, pastel accessories mingle with sleek black furniture, and high-brow books share space with nail polishes and sparkly shoes—so not only do we want to borrow all of her paperbacks, but we also want to steal all of her heels. In fact, while we're in there, maybe we can just snag her entire abode?

NPR announced the selection of a new CEO. His name is Jarl Mohn, a longtime radio disc jockey and former media executive, who's been a venture capitalist and corporate board member in recent years. The appointment of Mohn follows last year's departure of Gary Knell, who left NPR to run the National Geographic Society.
Here at NPR, we received word today of our new president and CEO. The board announced that Jarl Mohn will step into that role in July. Mr. Mohn has made a fortune in television and as a digital entrepreneur. And as NPR's David Folkenflik reports, he also has a background in radio.
DAVID FOLKENFLIK, BYLINE: NPR has been beset by instability at the top, budget deficits and political fights. Who would want this job? Count Jarl Mohn in.
JARL MOHN: It's a national treasure. And I just want to make sure that the path that the organization is on in the news-gathering and reporting that has been done, everybody in that area is going to have all the tools that they need to continue to do that and grow it, make it better.
FOLKENFLIK: Mohn - that's M-O-H-N - is a 62-year-old investor who was a founder of the E! Entertainment Network, an early top executive at MTV and VH1. He spoke to me during an interview this afternoon.
MOHN: The first thing I would think, if I were a reporter or anybody inside the organization - or outside - is oh, my God, this guy's coming in and he's worked at MTV, he's worked at VH1, he's worked at E! This is the direction we're going? And I can tell you with 100 percent certainty, absolutely not.
FOLKENFLIK: Mohn has also been a corporate board member of such media ventures as XM Satellite Radio and Comscore, which helps companies measure their digital traffic. In addition, Mohn has given millions of dollars to Southern California Public Radio, where he's board chairman. A database search also shows he's given more than $200,000 to political causes, mostly Democrat, since 1990. But he pledged to stop for his new job.
The new CEO says he ultimately intends to spend at least half his time raising money from corporate underwriters, individual donors and foundations for NPR; and to share that bounty with NPR member stations, which often have prickly relationships with the network. He has no background in journalism or public broadcasting on the national scale, but Mohn does have a deep affinity for radio.
MOHN: (As Lee Masters) Only this guy looked like Elton John. He was short, chubby, wore glasses and a hat, and he called himself Reggie Dwight, Elton John's real name...
FOLKENFLIK: For years, Mohn was a radio and TV DJ. He went by the name Lee Masters.
MOHN: I made it up in my little pea brain when I was 15 years old. I love radio; I've always loved radio. I think it's the most personal medium there is.
FOLKENFLIK: Now, that disc jockey who spun classic rock on vinyl before it was classic rock, will become CEO of the nation's leading radio network and its chief champion, too.

Your signing of the below Vinyl Record Day request petition for the Vinyl Record Stamp Series may establish public support to the Stamp Advisory Committee for the Vinyl Record Stamp Series and possibly encourage scheduling the Vinyl Record Stamp Series for issuance in the next year of selection.
You may sign the online petition below this introduction or click here for a downloadable PDF that you may print and circulate to your friends!
Thank you for your support, it really is appreciated!
Gary J. Freiberg
Vinyl Record Day - www.VinylRecordDay.org
Dear Chairperson Firstenberg and Esteemed Members of the Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee:
To commemorate and encourage preservation of the Cultural Influence, Recordings and Cover Art of the Vinyl Record we the undersigned support the Vinyl Record Stamp proposal currently under consideration by the committee. We respectfully urge the issuance of the stamp series for educational and preservation purposes; to increase public awareness of the need to preserve our audio history. We believe preservation of the cultural richness of our audio history can be encouraged and achieved through education and increased awareness that much of this audio history is recorded and saved only on the vinyl record. According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) only five percent (5%) of all vinyl recordings have been transferred to and are available on digital format.
Historical recordings such as important speeches of past world leaders, peripheral music genres and artists, movie soundtracks, educational and many other kinds of recordings are available only on the vinyl record. The vinyl record is an American invention that influenced cultures worldwide and its preservation today is integral to preserving our audio history of past eras for future generations.
We believe if honored with a First Class stamp series awareness for the need of preservation of our audio history on the vinyl record would increase greatly and benefit future generations as a result.
To further the education of the importance of audio and cultural preservation for future generations we respectfully urge approval for issuance in the next available selection year of the Vinyl Record Stamp Series proposal that is now under consideration by the committee.
Respectfully Submitted and Signed With Appreciation:

TORONTO – Colorado Rapids, welcome to Major League Soccer royalty.
After 15 seasons spent watching other league original franchises carve their identities with success and silverware, Denver's team is finally a league champion.
The Rapids used a scrappy goal from Conor Casey and a game-winning own goal deep into stoppage time to claw their way past FC Dallas for a chilly, chippy and ultimately cathartic 2-1 win over FC Dallas in the MLS Cup on Sunday night at BMO Field.

The title is the first in franchise history for Colorado, who've overhauled nearly everything except their team name since their only other MLS Cup appearance in 1997. But whether it was the team logo (they've had three), the coach (they're on their fifth), or their team colors (from green and blue then to burgundy and sky blue now), nothing seemed to finally do the trick until Sunday night.
It certainly wasn't pretty, but that doesn't mean it wasn't historic. Colorado substitute forward Macoumba Kandji carved his way past FC Dallas defender Jair Benitez and poked a shot that deflected off the leg of FCD defender George John and past goalkeeper Kevin Hartman for the game-winner in the 107th minute in front of a reported crowd of 21,700 on the shore of Lake Ontario.
It was good enough to win what was largely a scrappy and physical battle of attrition probably better suited for a prime-time hockey game in Toronto than a soccer match.
The game was the seventh MLS Cup in league history to be settled in overtime or in penalty kicks, and the fourth that needed an extra session since 2005. Real Salt Lake – Colorado's increasingly bitter rival who are now second in the pecking order on the suddenly thriving Rocky Mountain soccer scene – won the title in 2009 in penalty kicks.
Casey was named MVP after a physical and effective night spent banging heads with John – literally. The hulking Colorado forward was floored twice following collisions with John, and looked to be in serious trouble after a collision buckled both players to the ground during first-half stoppage time.
FC Dallas, meanwhile, took their lumps and eventually came up short in their quest for a first MLS title in franchise history. Despite a gorgeous goal in the 35th minute from league MVP David Ferreira, Dallas struggled to find enough magic or the final touch again to push them to a win in the first MLS Cup appearance since the club debuted with the rest of the MLS original franchises in 1996.
But that doesn't mean they didn't have their chances. John returned after his unlucky gaffe to nearly even the match in the 120th minute, but his right-footed blast was steered just wide by Rapids goalkeeper Matt Pickens on easily his best save of a relatively quiet night. Jeff Cunningham also nearly evened it up in the waning seconds, but his shot at glory was cleared off the line by Rapids defender Drew Moor.
The game was scrappy from the opening whistle, but devolved into a grudge match in the second half. Casey and FC Dallas midfielder Daniel Hernandez were in the mix for much of the rough stuff, and Casey earned a yellow card in the 84th minute during a brief altercation with FCD's Jair Benitez, who also earned a yellow.
Hernandez and late Colorado sub Wells Thompson mixed it up during stoppage time, while Jamie Smith picked up a yellow for a reckless tackle before he was eventually subbed out in the last minutes of regulation.
Even Kandji had to be subbed out after his game-winning effort due to the game's physical nature. The former New York Red Bulls midfielder was hobbled when he caught a cleat to the ankle on the game's decisive play, and he never returned to the fray after he was assisted off the field.
Casey's goal was emblematic of the night, and rallied the Rapids back into the match after Ferreira and FCD carried the game's momentum into the half. Scottish international Jamie Smith worked his way into the penalty box and skipped a cross to Casey, who saw his first shot snuffed out by Hartman before he poked the rebound home out of a scrum in front of the Dallas net.
It was Casey's second goal of the postseason and probably the US international at his best - gutsy but hardly ever gorgeous.
Ferreira's goal was a study in contrast, a pitch-perfect finish to a dynamic buildup from MLS Coach of the Year Schellas Hyndman's group. FCD midfielder Marvin Chavez whipped a right-footed cross into the box from the right flank directly to the left foot of Ferreira, who streaked in between Colorado defenders Drew Moor and Marvell Wynne before thumping a volley past Pickens.
The goal was the second in as many playoff games for Ferreira, who also scored the opening goal of FCD's emphatic 3-0 win over the LA Galaxy in the Western Conference Championship.
But it didn't stand up against a gutsy and determined Colorado team, which was the last to qualify for the postseason this year and had to grind out wins over the Columbus Crew and the San Jose Earthquakes to punch their ticket to Toronto.
Sunday night was more of the same from a club which embraced their role as underdogs and outsiders this season in MLS, a place where they've spent long stretches in neutral while other league originals sped right by.
But not anymore. When the Colorado players paraded in the glitter and glory at BMO Field with a chilly wind slicing through the celebration, the Rapids probably never even felt a breeze. Maybe it was finally just a breath of fresh air.
Colorado Claims The Cup
TORONTO – Colorado Rapids, welcome to Major League Soccer royalty.

Q: See if you can find out if the Villa Girgenti passed their pizza recipe out to anyone when they closed their place on Paulina. It was a '60s North Side high school hangout, and they had the best thin crust pizza ever. What a waste to no longer sell it. I will never stop searching for this.
—Sue Ellen Levins, Chicago
A: Clearly, Villa Girgenti was a popular spot in its day because you are not the only one to still bemoan its passing some 37 years later. Food bulletin boards, such as Chowhound and Roadfood.com, have tributes to the restaurant, once located at 7625 N. Paulina St. (telephone: SHeldrake 3-9872).
Perhaps my favorite nod is found in an Aug. 2008 posting on Roadfood from "Rumaki," a Minneapolis-based correspondent.
"Villa Girgenti was a great 'red sauce' Italian place with wonderful eggplant parmigiana and good Italian bread," recalled "Rumaki" in the post. "On one occasion I ate five loaves (OK, they weren't that big in diameter) all by myself. The jukebox was great -- among other things, it had Mario Lanza singing the Drinking Song from "The Student Prince." And they had a wonderful 'Hamm's Beer' sign with illuminated "sky-blue waters."
"Rumaki" is Jane E. Kirtley, professor of media ethics and law at the University of Minnesota's School of Journalism and Mass Communications and director of the Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and the Law.
"It was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful place," Kirtley told me in a telephone interview. She was a college student, living in the southern part of Evanston, and Villa Girgenti was a quick hop for her and her friends. Kirtley has only a vague recollection of the thin-crust pizza so many people vividly recall..
"I usually had eggplant parmigiana,'' she explained. "It was an eggplant parmigiana place,'' she explained.
Michael Stern, the Winnetka-born and Connecticut-based co-author of "The Lexicon of Real American Food," remembers Villa Girgenti with fondness.
"I remember it was my favorite Italian place to go to,'' he said. "I loved the pizza there."
Yet, pizza was secondary in an order placed by the Chicago Tribune's Kay Loring. She took note of a visit to the "Villa," as devotees call it, in a column published Dec. 1, 1967. She described it as a place "short on elegance, long on genuine tastiness" where one could "dine deliciously" in an informal setting "patronized by many young people." Loring quoted an unnamed fried as saying high school kids "really go" for Villa Girgenti's pizza, so she ordered a "small" Girgenti special as an appetizer to go with cocktails.
"It turned out to be quite sizable and so crusty and savory we were hard put to it to save a bit of appetite for our veal dishes, which were tops,'' Loring wrote, adding the veal dishes were veal braciolette and veal in butter. (Interestingly, Loring later included the pizza in her "Taste Treats of '67.")
Stephen Milioto of Plainfield said his dad, Charles, operated the Villa restaurant until 1975. He died two years later.
Latest Lifestyles
"My dad came from Sicily. He took pride in that restaurant,'' Milioto said. "I lost him when I was 18 years old. I don't know what he did with that pizza recipe."
Milioto said he's never found a pizza like those at Villa Girgenti. The closest he's found is at Pequod's Pizza (pequodspizza.com) in Morton Grove. There's also a Lincoln Park location at 2207 N. Clybourn Ave.

Some advisor-client relationship contracts include termination fees — even steep ones — for clients seeking to take their assets elsewhere, but that's not the only method advisors use to hold on to unhappy clients.
The ethically questionable practice of a client termination fees got wide attention through Jason Zweig's most recent column in the weekend Wall Street Journal,which noted that even "fiduciary" advisors imposed duties as high as 1% of the account for clients exiting within a year of the account opening.
Dave Dickinson, co-founder of FireMyAdvisor, a relatively new firm that seeks to facilitate advisor-client divorces and shepherd disgruntled clients into the care of fiduciary advisors, says such termination fees — especially such steep ones — are rare.
"The great majority of advisors we've seen don't use a termination fee," he toldThinkAdvisor in a phone interview. Dickinson, who has long run a separate business helping advisors with compliance, says such fees couldn't pass regulatory muster in most cases.
"Regulators seem much more amenable to fixed fees, like a $200 charge for leaving; they do not like percentages, or language that 'if you leave, we'll charge [fees that would have been assessed for balance of the year had the client stayed].' I don't think [a percentage fee] has any relationship with costs incurred, I think that's just a penalty.
"There's no way you can lock a client in."
Except, of course, when advisors manage to do just that, as in the cases cited in Zweig's article. So how could a fiduciary advisor pull that off?
"Regulators often miss things," says Dickinson, who calls such a practice at odds with the fiduciary standard.
"If you're a fiduciary," Dickinson asks, "how can you try to lock someone into your services without the ability to leave when the client's paying so much in fees? I'd be amazed that trying to keep a client through withdrawals charges matches up with the fiduciary standard in any way. It doesn't seem to me that you're acting in the client's best interest when they may be interested in leaving for any number of reasons."
The FireMyAdvisor client advocate does acknowledge cases where an advisor might legitimately want to impose a termination fee to discourage abusive clients — but never as a percentage of client assets.
Dickinson said he recently had a case where a client established a relationship with the advisor, then withdrew his assets after just a month, apparently to benefit from the advisor's asset allocation model.
"Soon afterwards the son of that client wanted to hire him, but the advisor said 'No thank you.' So from the advisor side, a termination fee is understandable if very minimal, although I don't know if it would have much effect [discouraging unethical clients]," he says.
But in the case of an unethical advisor, is there any recourse for the client who's signed a contract with a termination fee?
Says the FireMyAdvisor principal:
"The first thing he can do is speak with the advisor and ask him to waive the fee," the FireMyAdvisor principal says. "And I'd put that in writing if I were the client.
"And if I were advising client, I'd tell him to mention the fiduciary standard and tell him [the fee] doesn't match up with that standard," he says.
"If the advisor wouldn't waive the fee," he continues, "the client could file a complaint with the SEC or state, depending on how that advisor was regulated.
"If that didn't work, he could try arbitration or the courts," he says.
But Dickinson, whose firm seeks to pair unhappy clients with advisors who are happy to take them, has a less nettlesome, more practical approach to offer as well.
"The easier thing would be to find a new advisor and see if the new advisor would pick up some of the termination fee; often that would happen if the client were a good client."
While a contract requiring a client to pay to fire the advisor is a relatively rare occurrence, Dickson says there are other approaches advisors more commonly used to shackle clients that he has seen in his experience in both his compliance and FireMyAdvisor businesses.
Chief among them, he says, are back-end mutual funds and annuity contracts with steep surrender fees.
"They're a huge bear," Dickinson says. "Many investors don't understand the withdrawals charges that they'll incur if they change their mind."
In a recent case, a client signed the paperwork for a fixed index annuity from which she cannot withdraw her funds within the contract's first 10 years without surrendering 10% of its value, or $50,000. The woman put about half a million dollars — nearly the entirety of her retirement portfolio — into the annuity.
"She didn't get good advice, but it was her responsibility to check it out before signing on dotted line."
An advisor she found through FireMyAdvisor gave her the name of a good securities attorney who could challenge her current advisor on the unsoundness of putting virtually all her net worth in that one annuity.
At root of the many of these thorny issues is that the industry is heavily geared to keeping clients, at almost any cost.
"Cleints are so hard to get these days, the first thing many advisors do is try and talk them into staying," Dickinson says.
This confrontational approach is the raison d'etre for FireMyAdvisor, which aims to help clients avoid this kind of psychological browbeating.
"The good advisors will say, 'If the client doesn't want me, I don't want to keep an unhappy client.'"
Dickinson says the investment industry does a good job of creating the impression that it's hard to leave your advisor, though in fact it is generally quite easy and can be arranged without any contact between the departing client and his advisor.
"If client is unhappy with you, let him go; you don't want that kind of relationship," Dickinson says.
"It's just a cost of doing business for the advisor," he says of departing clients. "You win some, you lose some."

Opiate Withdrawal Timelines, Symptoms and Treatment
Opiate Withdrawal Timelines, Symptoms and Treatment
What Are Opiate Withdrawal Symptoms?
Opiate drugs, including prescription painkillers and heroin, can produce withdrawal symptoms just hours after the last dose, and the symptoms can last for a week or more.
Unassisted withdrawal may not be life-threatening, but it can lead to relapse. Medications and therapy, accessed in medical detox, may make relapse less likely.
Withdrawal Symptoms:
- Nausea
- Muscle cramping
- Depression
- Agitation
- Anxiety
- Opiate cravings
Find Fast
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) publishes that between 26.4 million and 36 million people around the globe abuse opiate drugs, which includes prescription pain relievers and the illegal drug heroin.
Opiates change the way the brain responds to pain stimuli and can also produce a "high" feeling by disrupting the reward and pleasure centers in the brain.The central nervous system, which includes the brain, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, has opioid receptors that receive opiate drugs, and these drugs bring a variety of physical and emotional effects. Heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and body temperature are lowered while pleasant feelings are increased.
Repeated use or abuse of an opioid drug can actually change the way an individual's brain chemistry works and lead to physical and psychological dependence. The body may not feel "normal" anymore without the drug's interaction, and withdrawal symptoms may start in between doses or when an individual stops taking the opiate.
Signs of Opiate Withdrawal
Opiate withdrawal symptoms may range from mild to severe, depending on how dependent the individual is on an opioid drug. Dependency can be directly tied to the length of time taking a particular drug, dosage amount, which drug was taken, how the drug was taken, underlying medical conditions, the co-occurring presence of a mental health issue, and certain biological and environmental factors, such as family history of addiction, previous trauma, or highly stressful and unsupportive surroundings. Withdrawal from an opioid drug may roughly adhere to the following timeline, although it can vary from person to person.
Early Withdrawal Symptoms
These usually start within 6-12 hours for short-acting opiates, and they start within 30 hours for longer-acting ones:
- Tearing up
- Muscle aches
- Agitation
- Trouble falling and staying asleep
- Excessive yawning
- Anxiety
- Nose running
- Sweats
- Racing heart
- Hypertension
- Fever
Late Withdrawal Symptoms
These peak within 72 hours and usually last a week or so:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Goosebumps
- Stomach cramps
- Depression
- Drug cravings
Some of the psychological withdrawal symptoms and cravings for opioid drugs may continue longer than a week in some cases. Therapy and psychological support provided by a mental health professional as a part of a complete substance abuse treatment program can decrease the symptoms and side effects of withdrawal.
Medical Detox as Part of a Whole Treatment Plan
Detox followed with counseling, education, family and individual therapy, and support groups can help an individual stop using drugs and maintain sobriety.

Both Obama and Romney reeeeallly want to win over Colorado in October — it's a swing state worth 9 electoral votes — and they know the way to do that is through the ladies, especially those in their 30s to 50s who live in the suburbs. So which presidential candidate is right for you? (Just pretend this is a Cosmo quiz and play along.)
You're looking for a man who:
a) Quotes French philosophers, can carry a tune AND supports a woman's right to choose.
b) Wants to overturn Roe v. Wade and acts like a robot, but has a ton of money.
It's a little more complicated than that, of course, but not really — Obama is wooing women by playing up fears about abortion rights, and Romney is claiming Obama's policies have hurt women's job prospects. For now, Obama is winning when it comes to women, especially college-educated ones: fifty-five percent of them said they preferred Obama in an AP poll last month, while 40 percent preferred Romney. Since 27 percent of Colorado voters are women with college degrees, that's not too shabby.
But some women say they're going with Romney because they're worried about finances. "It has nothing to do with abortion," Vickie Dow of Centennial, an "upscale Arapahoe County suburb," told the AP. "I'm worried about the economy. I'm really afraid things have gone downhill terribly."

Yale, Harvard, The Game and Nov. 22, 1963
Editor's note: In 1963, Jack DeGange covered Yale football for The New Haven Journal-Courier. He now lives in Lebanon, N.H. This article was published originally in the Brown-Dartmouth football game program on Nov. 12, 1983.
Friday, Nov. 22, 1963.
Thanksgiving was only six days away but the weather was more like October, beautiful for football.
Harvard-Yale. The weekend breathed anticipation as events unfolded in New Haven.
For Harvard, victory would mean the Ivy League title, providing Dartmouth cooperated by beating Princeton.
For Yale, the first season under John Pont (arriving from Miami of Ohio, the Cradle of Coaches) was a winner, light years removed from the undercurrents of discord that led to Jordan Olivar's departure the winter before.
Network television cameras were being readied in the Bowl. The early arrivals of a crowd expected to reach 60,000 on Saturday rendezvoused in their tweeds and tartans.
On DeWitt Cuyler Field, the freshman football teams were having at it. Not far away, the jayvees were heading into the second period of their game.
The reporter and Phyllis Fry, wife of Yale's offensive line coach, were casual observers at the jayvee game. For both, it was a first taste of The Weekend and The Game.
Danny Casman, the pugnose, weathered Yale trainer, drifted into the conversation near the Yale sideline.
"Have you heard? The President's been shot."
"Sure Cas. What's the punchline?"
The old trainer looked serious. "No kidding," he said. "In Dallas, just a few minutes ago. It was on the radio."
In an instant, football was secondary. The closest radio was in Bob Kiphuth's dark green Jaguar, parked near the track surrounding the freshman game field.
It was a few minutes after two o'clock. The cluster around the legendary Yale swimming coach's car knew it was no joke.
The weekend suddenly was made numb.
John F. Kennedy. President of the United States. Harvard graduate, honored by Yale the year before (when he noted, "I now have the best of both worlds: a Harvard education and a Yale degree."). Dead.
Over the next two hours the brutal details unfolded. The weekend of anticipation was cloaked in tragedy.
"Throughout the afternoon there were rumors and speculation but few confirmed facts," said Pont. He was uncertain what lay ahead as he left the jayvee game to ready his team for its final practice of the season.
"DeLaney (Kiphuth, Yale's athletic director) called me to confirm that the President was dead. He said the feeling from his conversation with Harvard people was to postpone but he suggested we leave it to the squad.
"I spoke with George Humphrey (the captain) and Ab Lawrence (the junior tackle). There was no question in their mind that the game shouldn't be played the next day but they felt that JFK would want it played," Pont recalled.
Harvard had worked out in the Bowl earlier in the afternoon while the tragic news was breaking. As Yale prepared to leave Lapham Field House for its workout in the Bowl, the squad was blanketed in silence.
Except for a few television engineers, a couple of coeds waiting for their dates, an old grad and a few visitors, Yale Bowl's 70,000 seats were barren and gray in the fading light.
The somber practice was nearly complete when a solitary figure, Bill Schaffer, the Yale student manager, trotted through the midfield portal and headed directly to Pont.
No words were necessary. The decision was made. Yale's abbreviated practice ended as quietly as it had begun.
"Football seems pretty insignificant right now," said Stan Thomas, a Yale halfback.
A brief announcement from Kiphuth's office said simply that the game was postponed. Around the country, college football followed suit.
The crisp afternoon turned to a rainy evening, merriment to mourning, bitterness and frustration that such an event could happen. It seemed an eternity for this empty weekend, once so filled with promise, to run its course.
News came that The Game would be played on Saturday, Nov. 30.
"The following week was a downer for everyone," said Carm Cozza, Yale's backfield coach 50 years ago who succeeded Pont in 1965 and coached the Elis for the next 32 years. "As coaches we had been anxious to play because it was our first shot at Harvard.
"We knew they were down, too. It wasn't until the middle of the week that things began to pick up again."
Pont, who left Yale after two seasons to be Indiana's head coach, recalled, "We tried not to dwell on what had happened but the squad had none of the zip we had seen the week before.
"We just figured that events would get into their minds, even if it took until Saturday."
Thanksgiving Day came and went. The long, long week of mourning slipped away. Saturday arrived and football, the signal that a semblance of normalcy was returning, provided a focus.
It wasn't the same as it might have been. It never could be.
The weather was blustery, cloudy and raw. For the better part of the first quarter Pont wondered if his team would recapture what had been kindled, then smothered.
Yale had fumbled twice. Harvard took a 6-0 lead. Then Bill Henderson, a junior halfback from Chicago, returned the Crimson kickoff from his end zone to Harvard's 21.
The spark was rekindled.
Yale's line opened massive holes for fullback Chuck Mercein and halfbacks Randy Egloff and Jim Howard. Brian Rapp directed the relentless ground game that wore out Harvard, 20-6.
Meanwhile, at Princeton, the Tigers ran out to a 21-7 lead before Dartmouth rallied. A crowd of 35,000 saw Dartmouth recover a fumble by the nation's leading scorer, Cosmo Iacavazzi, at Princeton's two-yard line in the final minutes. One play later, Dartmouth scored to win, 22-21.
Dartmouth and Princeton shared the Ivy League title and Harvard had to settle for the runnerup role.
As December arrived in 1963, The Game helped to put a shaken country back on course.

VANCOUVER - A trial date has been set in B.C. Supreme Court for a man accused of killing four women in northern B.C.
The trial of Cody Legebokoff will begin on Sept. 9, 2013, in Prince George.
Legebokoff is charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Prince George-area women who disappeared in the region starting in 2009.
Legebokoff, a Fort St. James native, was arrested Nov. 27, 2010, when an RCMP officer checked a suspicious vehicle that had just pulled onto a Prince George-area highway from an unused logging road.
When the vehicle's tracks were retraced along the snowy trail, officers found body of 15-year-old Loren Donn Leslie, just hours after she had been killed — and even before her parents knew she was missing.
Further investigation linked the case to the discovery of 35-year-olds Jill Stuchenko and Cynthia Maas, in separate locations, but the body of the alleged fourth victim, 23-year-old Natasha Montgomery, has never been found.

So, either TSLA never affixed the "conditional fuel economy label(s)" to the 30 model 3s it has claimed to have sold, or the buyers have been suitably intimidated to prevent disclosure.
So lets guess!
And what the hell, why not do the same for the LEAF Gen two.
For the Tesla 3, I suggest you post your guess for the RWD large battery model-the first version which is supposed to be available to customers, sometime by late fall (?).
For the LEAF Gen two, post your guess for base pack, FWD, which is expected to be the first model available (if any other are planned).
Look here for relevant comparisons and the format our brave bureaucrats have decided on, MPGe, in City and Highway cycles.
https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do ... 1&id=38428
My guesses...and that is exactly what they are, since I make no claims of inside sources or information:
Edatoakrun, 8/3/17 Tesla 3 (310 m pack) 125 MPGe City 120 MPGe Highway
Edatoakrun, 8/3/17 LEAF Gen two (base) 140 MPGe City 120 MPGe Highway
If you want to place your guesses, please add them, copy and repost all previous guesses in separate columns in the format above, along with your other (on-topic, PLEASE!) comments.
Background, from the Tesla 3 thread:
http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.p ... &start=860...Wonder if TSLA will reveal data from the "conditional fuel economy label" before or by tomorrow night?
And if so, will it be only for the optional-large-battery RWD versions it has said will be "delivered" tomorrow night, or show data for the entire model 3 range?
https://www.torquenews.com/1083/teslas- ... month-late...Tesla's Official Model 3 EPA Efficiency Data Will Be One Month Late
Tesla will launch its Model 3 on Friday, July 28th without official EPA energy efficiency data.
Like many aspects of Telsa's vehicle launches, the energy efficiency data is an afterthought to be handled when time permits, rather before the cars start to be sold to private owners.
No Official Window Sticker For Model 3
In the U.S., every car sold must have a Monroney sticker affixed to its side window by law. The is sticker has evolved over the years, but now contains primarily fuel economy information (in the largest font on the sticker), energy (or fuel) costs in the second largest font size, crash test data from NHTSA, manufacturing location and parts origin by percentage, and, of course, the individual vehicle's MSRP and standard and optional content in the smallest font. Tesla will be providing vehicles to consumers without official data...
We asked the folks at http://www.fueleconomy.gov if the information was available and discovered it was not. Our inquiry was timely. Just yesterday, July 26th, 2017, http://www.fueleconomy.gov received an e-mail from the EPA informing the group that the data would be a month late and that official sales of the Model 3 would start on July 28th (not what you may have otherwise heard reported). Instead of an official Monroney sticker, the EPA will allow Tesla to ship a limited number of vehicles (possibly less than 100 in total) with "conditional fuel economy label". http://WWW.fueleconomy.gov explained to us that, "This provision in EPA regulations allows manufacturers to introduce a model based on manufacturer's test data, while the test vehicle is being confirmatory tested at EPA." The group says that EPA won't be sending any information to http://www.fueleconomy.gov until the data is finalized, which is estimated to take another month...

Where your theatrical loyalties lie will be tested by Bristol Old Vic's touring production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
If you love stagecraft and inventive puppetry, you will be knocked out by this show, which is being performed at Emerson's Cutler Majestic Theatre, so long as you don't mind a fair amount of raunchiness in the mix. The stagecraft and puppets were created by Handspring Puppet Company of Cape Town, South Africa, which is best known for the magnificent horses in "War Horse."
On the other hand, if you feel there is nothing more alive on the stage than actors emotionally engaged with each other, you will find some wonderful moments in this show. But you may feel that those moments are swamped by too much technical cleverness and wizardry. And you're likely to ask, "Why bury one of Shakespeare's most delightful and accessible plays in so much stagecraft, instead of letting the actors bring the play's beauty to life?"
I confess to preferring the magic that actors at their best create over the magic of artistic designers, even when they're as brilliant as those at Handspring Puppet Company. You should know that as creative as it is, none of the puppetry is as stunning as the horses in "War Horse."
The emotional fire of "Midsummer" comes from Akiya Henry as Hermia and Naomi Cranston as Helena. The two characters are close friends but are entangled in their love for Lysander (Alex Felton) and Demetrius (Kyle Lima).
Henry is a short, petite, fireball of an actress with an elegant English accent. Cranston is tall and �lithesome,�also with a lovely English accent who embodies never-ending hope and passion. "I am your spaniel," she tells Demetrius pleading with him in a very funny scene in which he disavows her. And there's a terrific catfight between the two women in which Hermia throws herself at Helena as Lysander and Demetrius hold her back, lifting her off the ground. All of this takes place in a forest filled with magical characters outside of Athens where the lovers have retreated.
The simplest stagecraft in this show is the most effective. Each member of the ensemble holds a board as if it's a tree to create the forest. At times they move with the boards almost in a dance or use them to block the passage of the lovers. In one of the loveliest moments, they tap their boards with their fingers, creating a music of night sounds, perhaps rain. They go on to sing a beautiful lullaby with an African feel, using only the word "lullaby."
But too often the stagecraft interferes with real connection between the actors. When David Ricardo-Pearce holds up a mask to indicate he's no longer Theseus but his alter-ego Oberon, King of the Forest, he tends to sound like he's delivering a speech. The same is true when Saskia Portway holds up a mask to indicate she's no longer Hippolyta but her alter-ego Titania, the Queen of the Fairies.
Oberon's magical servant, Puck, is played by three actors who often speak as a chorus and manipulate various garden tools to suggest a shape-shifting creature. It's very clever, but after a while the cleverness wears a bit thin and I found myself missing Puck as an individual with his own specific emotions.
The most inventive but very much over-the-top puppetry involves a bicycle-like contraption ridden by Bottom (Miltos Yerolemou) with a tail attached to his head, large slippers on his feet as if they are his ears, and a bare bottom that Titania mistakes for his face. Her mistake is due to a potion that Puck drops in her eyes causing her to fall in love with the first creature she sees when she awakes. The bare bottom jokes become too much pretty quickly.
The rude mechanicals or laborers who are preparing a production of a play are a lively bunch led by Quince (Colin Michael Carmichael). They mingle with the audience as they are coming into the theater and pretend to be auditioning them. Yerolemou is very funny as Pyramus who wants to perform every part. And Saikat Ahamed is poignant as the cowardly lion. One of the most delightful props is a small antique-looking lion on wheels with a mane made of nails that Ahamed tows along.
The play "Pyramus and Thisbe" that the rude mechanicals perform for the wedding celebration of Theseus and Hippolyta at the end of "Midsummer" is funny but becomes too stretched out and played for every laugh.
It feels as if director Tom Morris, who also directed "War Horse," has become so enamored of Handspring's puppetry that he has lost his larger vision of the play.
The show may be just fine for those who need convincing that "Midsummer" is worth a night out, such as children who are 12 or older, as recommended by ArtsEmerson. But for those who love the delicacy of the play and already know the promise of theater, it can feel overdone.

CCP Games is looking at more ways to sell real-life products to players in exchange for in-game money.
The developer-publisher of popular PC MMO EVE Online – which has over 360,000 subscribers worldwide – recently offered gamers 100 Nvidia graphics cards in-game. They sold out in less than two minutes.
Players of the online space game were able to purchase the cards using EVE's virtual Plex currency last month. They were priced at 20 Plex each.
CCP says it wants to offer more promotions like this in the future, as well as sell a range of real-life EVE merchandise in-game.
It was an interesting experiment and one we're going to follow up," EVE Online senior producer Jon Lander (pictured) told MCV.
As it was more successful than I was hoping, there's obviously quite an appetite out there to doing this sort of thing.
We're certainly hoping for EVE merchandise. We need to just look at what the right opportunities are now. We've got lots of people beavering away trying to work out what the right thing to do is."
CCP also said that around a quarter of EVE Online subscribers play for free. Players are charged a monthly fee, but the virtual Plex currency can be used to pay for the subscription.
EVE is one of few MMOs that still require users to pay a monthly fee, along with Blizzard's World of Warcraft and EA's Star Wars: The Old Republic. Many others have gone free-to-play, such as Lord of the Rings Online, which is free but charges gamers for extra items and content.
Unless you're in trouble or you actually build a game from scratch specifically for a free-to-play model, it'd be incredible damaging to EVE if we went free-to-play," added Lander. There's no need for us to do it."
CCP says EVE has grown in terms of subscribers every year. The latest EVE expansion pack, Inferno, was released on May 22nd.

Legos are the kind of toy that, unless you are stepping or choking on them (don't ask…), are the epitome of joy and creativity. The possibilities are endless when it comes to those magical little bricks. Having already conquered the gaming sphere with the likes of Lego Star Wars and Lego Batman, the brand is trying to further test the limits of the intellectual property on iOS. Can their most recent outing, Lego Legends of Chima: Speedorz continue the trend, or is this the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back?
Though it may be a bit difficult to discern from the name, Legends of Chima: Speedorz is actually a racing game of sorts. The ties to the Lego brand seem to be due to the characters featured being from one of their various product lines. Beyond that, most of the game boils down to collecting as many coins and boosts as possible, all the while steering the on-screen avatar to victory lane.
It is hard to deny that the Lego influence is everywhere. Aside from a couple of environmental items, virtually everything is constructed of the plastic blocks. Even the coins that players must collect in races will be familiar to those that have spent hours tracking them down in other Lego properties. The true key to success in any race is to hit as many of the power-up obstacles as possible, which in turn entitle players to speed boosts. Ultimately, effectively timing boosts and collecting coins en-route will land racers in the winner's circle more often than not.
As far as the free-to-play aspects of the game go, there are no limitations to play whatsoever. That said, the amount of content available in game is rather lacking right now. The developers have already promised periodic updates, which will at least add in several new tracks, so fret not.
While it probably won't have as significant an impact as the previously released Lego properties, Legends of Chima: Speedorz certainly has the potential to be a family friendly time sink for those looking for a lighthearted racer. Plus, when factoring in the additional content coming down the road, there is no reason not to give this free romp a try.

Lee Hazlewood enjoyed tremendous success as a songwriter and performer in the '60s, but by the time the '70s rolled around, he'd had enough. After penning hits for, and dueting with, Nancy Sinatra and others, Hazlewood hit the road for Europe, tired of fame and worried about his son getting drafted to serve in Vietnam. He stopped frequently in Sweden where he made friends, records, and Swedish television specials like Cowboy In Sweden. As its title suggests, it followed the Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter—and his horse—across "the land of the midnight sun." Hazlewood found a sympathetic collaborator in the special's director, Swedish filmmaker Torbjörn Axelman, and the two reunited for more film projects, from the self-explanatory Nancy & Lee In Las Vegas to the obscure, like the virtually impossible-to-see A House Safe For Tigers, in which Hazlewood and Axelman wander the island of Gotland, reflecting on life and encountering surreal imagery.
Reissues of Hazlewood's albums in the late '90s, both those he made in the U.S. and those recorded after his departure, won him a new audience while creating an even greater demand for the albums that hadn't yet appeared. Hazlewood's soundtrack to A House Safe For Tigers has long been one of the hardest to find, but anyone who could track it down discovered it had a lot more than scarcity going for it. Now reissued as part of an ongoing series of Hazlewood releases by Light In The Attic, it's one of the strongest efforts in Hazlewood's catalog, capturing his toughness, sentimentality, and oddball pop songcraft.
It also captures the way Hazlewood the performer understood how to interpret Hazlewood the songwriter. "The Nights," a tale of the white man's injustice to Native Americans, needs Hazlewood's gravelly, speak-sung delivery to put its message across, but in his hands it packs a melodramatic wallop. "Our Little Boy Blue," a song about toys waiting for an owner who will never return, skirts kitsch but never crosses over, letting a swelling martial beat provide the unspoken explanation for the child's absence. It's an understated song of frustration from a man in retreat from the times. (As described in the reissue's extensive liner notes, the film features a shot of Hazlewood's "to do" list which includes the item "Don't Call Nixon a sonofabitch or son-of-a-bitch.") The album is otherwise dominated by songs about the pleasures of retreat, friendship, and idyllic isolation. "Souls Island" joins reflections on the nature of existence to a simple guitar line and tasteful orchestration, and on the title track Hazlewood summons up a blessing: "May your house be safe from tigers / May you always be my friend." It's the sound of someone who'd come to understand the value, and preciousness, of finding a little peace and quiet with someone he could trust while the rest of the world continued to tear itself apart.

Ok, this whole article is a kind of speculation on my part. DVOA is generally sold as a kind of generalization of the success rate concept, translated into a percentage above (or below) the norm. Components of DVOA include success rate, turnover adjustments, and scoring adjustments. For now, that's enough to consider.
Adjusted yards per attempt, as we've shown, is derived from scoring models, in particular expected points models, and could be considered to be the linearization of a decidedly nonlinear EP curve. But if I wanted to, I could call AYA style stats the generalization of the yardage concept, one in which scoring and turnovers are all folded into a single number valued in terms of yards per attempt.
So, if I were to take AYA or its fancier cousin ANYA, and replace yards with success rate, and then refactor turnovers and scoring so that turnovers and scoring were scaled appropriately, I would end up with something like the "V" in DVOA. I could then add a SRS style defensive adjustment, and now I have "DV". If I now calculate an average, and normalize all terms relative to my average, I'd end up with "Homemade DVOA", wouldn't I?
The point is, AYA or ANYA formulas are not really yardage stats, they are scoring stats whose units are in yards. So, if really, DVOA is ANYA in sheep's clothing, where yardage has been replaced by success rate, with some after the fact defense adjustments and normalization from success rate "units".. well, yes, then DVOA is a scoring stat, a kind of sophisticated and normalized "adjusted net success rate per attempt".

John Heineken and his sister Erika (both USA, Ozone/Mikes Lab) have taken the 2012 North American Course Racing Championship titles after 12 races.
As usual, the renowned St. Francis Yacht Club, one of the birth places and still a hot spot for kite course racing, hosted an amazing event for the nearly 70 kite racers and 20+ Formula Windsurfers in this combined championship event of the IKA and Formula Windsurfing Class.
The kiteboarding podiums were completed by Bryan Lake (USA, Cabrinha/Mikes Lab) and Adam Koch (USA, Ozone/Mikes Lab) for the men, and Boriana Viljoen (Ocean Rodeo) and Warenta Smutny (North) for the women.
12 races in challenging conditions were held over the course of four days, split into three days of qualifying series and one day of final series. With two discards for the whole event it was crucial for competitors to stay out of trouble and avoid mistakes and equipment failure. Winds up to 30 knots at the top mark situated right under the Golden Gate Bridge and steep choppy seas made the event a challenge for both sailors and equipment.
The next two major events of the International Kiteboarding Association will be the European Championships in La Baule, France (26.-30.09.2012) and the Kite Course Racing World Championships in Cagliari, Italy (02.-07.10.2012), before the South American Championship in Buzios, Brazil (15.-18.11.2012) and the first ever ISAF Sailing World Cup with the inclusion of Kiteboarding as Olympic Event in Melbourne, Australia, conclude the 2012 season.

Since 2013, Dr. David Petts (Department of Archaeology, Durham University) and I have been building a project to study the landscapes and material remains of the Great Depression in the Northeast of England. One of the defining historical events of the 20th century, the Great Depression is often associated in the US with the stock market crash of 1929, bread lines, shanty towns, and eventually, the New Deal and creation of the modern social welfare state. In the UK, the situation was slightly different. For one thing, parts of England had been in poor economic straits since a slump that followed World War I. Likewise, the Great Depression in the UK was highly regionalized in its effects, with areas like the Northeast seeing extremely high unemployment, while other areas saw only modest drops in unemployment. And responses to the depression were likewise regionalized–there were almost no national policy initiatives on the order of the New Deal in the US.
But there were responses at regional and local levels, and most importantly for our purposes, many of these responses involved changes to the landscape. They involved the construction of work camps, new settlements to house the unemployed, works projects that improved infrastructure, and much more. The Great Depression was a material event, and a record of it is recoverable archaeologically. This has certainly been the case in other parts of the wold, where a growing literature exists from archaeologists who have tackled the Great Depression through sites created in its wake. Much of this literature likewise shows that responses to the Great Depression were neither altruistic nor completely embraced by participants. For example, my colleagues LouAnn Wurst and Christine Ridarsky (2014) have evaluated attempts at farm resettlement in western New York state to improve the lives of "poor" farmers during the 1930s and found that the farmers were not actually that poor to begin with, and that the plan was largely about regional land grabbing. Barker and Lamb (2009) used data from an unemployment camp in Queensland, Australia to complicate the concept of the "undeserving" and "deserving" poor. And St. Denis (2002) showed how, despite the best efforts of the administrators of the Prince Albert logging camp in Saskatchewan, excavations show that workers drank and smoked when they could get away with it, perhaps offsetting anxieties about the larger economy with sociality and revelry.
In the U.K., there has been almost no archaeological study of sites related to the Great Depression, and no systematic accounting of such sites. David and I are hoping to change that with a project that will examine a few case studies where individuals and groups tried to ameliorate the awful conditions of the Depression through changes in the landscape. And when we started looking into the types of sites we could incorporate into our study, we were astounded at their variety and scale. There were proper work camps such as the one at Hamsterley forest, educational settlements and training schemes such as the Spennymoor settlement, resettlement and agricultural schemes such as the Moorhouse Farm settlement in Eaglescliffe (Perley 1985), and much more. Some of these schemes came from national programs and initiatives such as the Special Areas Act of 1934, which designated certain parts of the UK as regions in need of assistance. Others were local, set up by individuals and groups with an interest in curbing the worst excesses of the economic downturn.
We are working on funding a project to examine some of these places, but we have already had some success with an early case study: Heartbreak Hill, near Margrove Park village in the East Cleveland region of North Yorkshire (Chase and Whyman 1991, Chase 2000, Chase 2010). David has written about the history of this site, as have other bloggers. Suffice it to say, this was a combination work camp/allotment scheme for unemployed Ironstone miners, part of a larger scheme of three parcel areas called the Community Cultivation Association. Set up by a local wealthy landlord and his wife (James and Ruth Pennyman of Ormesby Hall), it was run and managed by British naturalist, folk scholar, and arch-conservative Rolf Gardiner. It included amongst its participants the composer Michael Tippett, and it ran for much of the 1930s, possibly longer. Today the land on which the site sits is unimproved hilly pasture, and it had not been significantly utilized prior to the 1930s, so David and I suspected that there might be some pieces of the depression-era landscape still present on the surface or underneath.
Map showing the locations of the CCA parcels, from Petts and Lewis 2013.
We received a small grant from the Institute of Advanced Study at Durham University to undertake geophysical survey and compile some background research. Earlier this year, a survey team from Durham's Archaeological Services used magnetometry to survey part of the site. The results, visible in the map below, are suggestive of several subsurface human-deposited features. According to the geophysical analysis, the anomalies in the southwest corner of Area 1, all of Area 2, and the North-Central part of Area 4 represent likely areas of deposition of some kind of material with a magnetic signaturem, perhaps architectural refuse. Further testing in these areas may allow us to determine the exact nature of these anomalies.

However, David and I were also intrigued by many of the standing or visible structures present in the field today. We found numerous brick huts scattered across the site, as well as other scatters of brick and stone that may represent ruined outbuildings from the allotment scheme. The brick structures below are similar in design, but are separated by nearly a half mile, on parcels of land used for completely different purposes today. What they have in common is that they are both in areas that were used during periods of CCA activity.
Photos showing similar brick structures on Heartbreak Hill and Dartmoor Parcels, respectively
We also noticed several portable items of material culture that one would not expect to be present on unimproved pasture-land. During a rudimentary surface survey, we noticed white-bodied 19th/early 20th century ceramics, a glass medicine bottle, and fragments of coal. One of the most striking finds was a linear scatter of bricks running over 10 meters in one of the current fields. This scatter, visible in the photo below, was later confirmed by Mark Whyman, one of the authors of a book on Heartbreak Hill (Chase and Whyman 1991), to be in the same location as a brick-lined garden plot setup by the CCA.
David and I are optimistic that there is more work to be done at Heartbreak Hill and perhaps at the other CCA parcels. One thing we would like to do is put together a community-led recording project to carefully document each of the standing structures and ruins at the site. This could be combined with further testing at the site to see if there are more subsurface remains to be found. Depending upon how extensive the archaeological record is, we are also interested in more social and political questions. We are particulary interested in how the miners who worked at the site made it their own–for example, were they able to bring items from home, or to otherwise mark off pieces of this "collective" allotment scheme as theirs? Such questions could also be asked at many of the other sites mentioned earlier, and we hope to have the opportunity to investigate them soon.
Aside from archaeology being a novel way to investigate the Great Depression, we find ourselves more broadly comparing the kinds of responses that were attempted in the 1930s to the current attempts to intervene in the most recent economic downturn, now in its sixth year. These have largely inhabited the arcane world of monetary policy, or have involved the dismantling of government programs, some of which were first initiated during the Great Depression, under the heading of "austerity". We do not have any strong conclusions to draw in this comparison, but we are struck by the ways in which place-making seemed to be such a strong aspect of 1930s responses–for example, Heartbreak Hill was named for the difficult conditions of its production, while the other parcels were named for local flora. Conversely, many of the contemporary responses have been about de-territorializing–allowing, encouraging, or forcing the free flow of money across borders, out of public institutions, and out of the hands of individuals and communities in the name of laissez faire capitalism, regardless of historical or spatial circumstances. In any case, we believe that an archaeology of the Great Depression can locate the contingent, complex, and contradictory landscapes that emerged in its wake, and allow us to understand the Great Depression at a more human scale.

Glen Campbell Update: Country Legend 'Happy and Content'
Glen Campbell's wife Kim, is speaking out about her husband after news broke that he has been moved into a facility that specializes in Alzheimer's care. Fans have known about Campbell's battle with the disease since 2011. The move came because his condition had been getting increasingly worse.
After the Nashville Film Festival, where the documentary of Campbell's farewell tour 'Glen Campbell ... I'll Be Me' screened, she spoke with reporters about how her husband is still maintaining his positivity despite the move.
"He has trouble communicating [but] he's happy and content and still has his sense of humor," she says. "He's doing pretty well, considering everything. We see him every day. We had him out to the house last night and we all had dinner together with the family."
The family also confirmed Campbell was moved to the facility for his own safety. He required constant attention, often wandering around at night, picking up knives and refusing to relinquish them. "[It's dangerous] with all the household appliances and dish soap liquid and olive oil. He'll drink anything ... if you lose concentration for a second, he could hurt himself," daughter Ashley said, according to People.
On his first day at the facility, he played music for the residents. They say the 77-year-old has made friends and adapted quickly to the new pace of life.
The film that screened also showed Campbell's battle with Alzheimer's, several parts of it addressed how difficult it had been for him to overcome. At the end of the film, the audience seemed to approve of the film after they gave it a standing ovation.

We hardly ever get snow in Arkansas! And if they say it's going to snow.... IT DOESN'T!!!! So a few days ago when they were calling for several inches of snow I thought YEAH RIGHT, WHATEVER!!!! Little did I know or expect what was to come! It started snowing yesterday afternoon and didn't stop till the wee hours of the morning. We wound up with almost 6 inches of snow.... TOTALLY CRAZY!!!!! Our power blinked on and off several times during the late afternoon night but around 9pm it went out and stayed out till almost 2pm today. It was a cold, long day but we tried to make the best of it!
The trees in the back yard were loaded down!
Picture perfect!
