• Nancy M. Bishop, of Puyallup, has been notified that the insurance commissioner's office refuses to renew her insurance license. She has been barred from doing insurance business in Washington and ordered to repay consumers more than $131,000.
A state examination of Bishop's business records revealed that she violated state insurance laws in dozens of instances, including repeatedly accepting premium payments for policies that did not exist, and keeping the money herself. She also wrongly kept some clients' refunds and issued false certificates of coverage.
The examination found that Bishop owes dozens of Washington consumers more than $131,000, including overcharges and misappropriated funds.
The violations, according to Kreidler's order, show Bishop to be "untrustworthy and a source of injury and loss to the public and not qualified to be an insurance producer in the state of Washington."
• Isaac Mayanja, an agent in Redmond, has had his insurance license revoked.
In 2010, a state investigation determined that Mayanja sold at least 19 unapproved annuities to Washington residents. He also repeatedly engaged in the unauthorized withdrawal of clients' funds, including forgery and misappropriation of their money.
Specifically, he submitted withdrawal forms totaling $15,570 for several clients' annuities, changing their addresses on the forms to his own address and then transferring the money to his own personal bank accounts.In both cases, the agents have the right to demand a hearing. The orders take effect immediately.

Flights to Vietnam with Qatar Airways
Unique character and beautiful heritage make Vietnam a country of wild interest to tourists and visitors. Ho Chi Minh, the country's biggest and most modern city sits in the south while at the north lies its historic capital Hanoi. Most visitors fly into either cities to start their trip, explore the length of the country and then fly out from the other. Whatever your planned itinerary may be, when you travel to Vietnam with Qatar Airways you'll find this a most fascinating and charming country to visit.
Vietnam combines a timeless bustle of traditional life going on against a backdrop of old French colonial buildings, creates a unique atmosphere.
Beautiful beaches, tombs and temples and outstanding food are just some of what visitors will find in this diverse country. Those looking for unique French colonial buildings and impressive architecture will find Hoi An and Hanoi exceptionally interesting. In Hanoi you can see architecture styles ranging from 13th century temples and 19th century colonial mansions to Stalinist blocks of flats from the mid 20th century. Hoi An is very compact and is famous for its mercantile houses from the 17th century.
The rural Vietnam of the countryside is where you need to go if you're looking for adventure and an insight into traditional Vietnamese ways of life. Away from the coastal strip with its many fine, sandy beaches, you'll find a world of green hills and fresh air where visitors come for trekking holidays and to visit the old hill stations. The hill station of Dalat, for instance, was built by the French and has been converted into a luxury hotel with golf course, high above the stifling summer heat of the cities.
On your trip to Vietnam with Qatar Airways, be sure to explore the country's wide range of unusual gifts and souvenirs. Buy exquisite, hand-crafted items such as hand-embroided pieces of clothing, fine silks, carved goods, scarves and baskets.

Deformation of formation into realizations
Spectrum of color, a variety of feelings.
Subtle human control of what we do.
When we act alone.
Reaching the rainbow atmosphere
Of caring
For a human thing
Is created with all qualities
Not just of the innocent nature
Of what we see in our green world
Can we see beyond the point of
What were suppose to see?
Or is everything in the rainbow atmosphere
Will I supress you of sharing
What really matters to you?
Because I am human?.
And I will judge?
Or will let you me see your rainbow atmosphere?
Or let me think I saw your sparkly deep sky of glittering rainbows
Do not be ashamed or afraid to walk outside, admist the eyes
Of the most animate nature
Of the ones you want to trust
Share me your rainbow atmosphere
Red, purple, blue, green, yellow, black, white,
Are the hallow spaces in your head
Hallow as they seem to yourself?
Why one sees everything you are now, but is there more to see?
In your rainbow atmosphere?
Is it tucked ready to be found under your mattress?
Or is it a million feet deep burning in the lava of formation
Wondering why, it should be part of your glittering pale atmosphere?
Or is it already in your atmosphere?
Or is it frozen and forgotten across the world where it can't be found?
Smell of things, we'll never get to the bottom.
But thats okay. :)
Just let me see part of your rainbow atmosphere.
I saw your physical beauty.
But I want you to know, your rainbow atmosphere is spectacular
I will make it beautiful.
Because you can always find sweetness in life.

Migration Assistant is the easiest way to move users, documents, computer settings and other items from an older computer to your new Mac. You can use it to migrate data from another Mac, or even from a Windows PC. If your original computer is too old to work with Migration Assistant, you can use the steps in this article to manually copy many of your documents to your newer computer.
Before you begin
Before you begin copying files from your old computer to your new computer, do these steps.
Set up your new Mac
Go through the Setup Assistant on your new Mac if you have not already. Then, create a user account for each user that you want on your new Mac.
Determine which files to copy
Before you copy anything from your old computer to your new computer, consider what you want to transfer and where the files belong on your Mac.
Documents and other data
In general, you can move any of your documents, music, movies and other files from one computer another. Simply copy the files to the same locations on your new Mac. For example:
- Find your Home folder by looking in the Users folder on the top level of the startup disk on each Mac. Each user's home folder is named after the user and contains documents, movies, photos and other data related to that user.
- Copy your Documents into the Documents folder of your new Home folder.
- Place the iTunes music folder from your old Home folder into your new Music folder. Your music should then automatically be recognized when you open iTunes.
- Place your iPhoto library into the Photos folder on your new Mac. iPhoto should automatically recognize it when you open it. If not, you may need to upgrade your library first.
Some applications need to install support files in special locations before they work. Instead of copying your apps from one computer to another, use these steps:
- Check to make sure the app isn't already installed. Many Apple apps such as iPhoto, Pages and iTunes are already installed when you get your Mac.
- Open the App Store from the Apple menu and log in using the same account you used on your old computer. You can re-download any apps you've purchased previously from the Purchases tab.
- Use Software Update to check for any available free updates for apps you've purchased. Some apps may require updates to work their best on newer computers.
- Re-download or reinstall any other applications you've purchased from third parties using the instructions provided by the developer of the software you're using.
Copying your Files
Choose one of the methods below to move files from your old computer to your new computer
Use an external drive
If both of your computers have USB or FireWire connections, you can copy your important files to an external drive to move the files between them.
- Connect the external drive to your old Mac.
- In the Finder, locate the external drive. If you don't see it, choose Go > Computer to see a list of all of the drives connected to this Mac.
- In the Finder, drag any of the files you want to move to your new computer onto the external drive to make a copy.
- Once you are done copying all of your files, eject the external drive and disconnect it from your old Mac.
- Next, connect the external drive to your new Mac.
- Locate the drive in the Finder.
- Drag your files from the external drive to your Home folder, or another location on your new Mac.
Use Target Disk Mode
If both of your computers have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, you can use Target Disk mode to connect one of your computers as an external drive. You may need additional cabling, such as a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter, depending on how old your original Mac is.
- Restart your old computer and hold down the T key on the keyboard. Once you see the FireWire logo appear on the screen, you can release the key.
- Connect the FireWire ports of the two computers using a FireWire cable and any necessary adapters.
The startup drive of the old computer should now show up in the Finder when you are logged in on the new computer. Use the steps in the section "Use an external drive" to copy your files from your old computer to your new Mac.
Use File Sharing
If both of your computers are connected to the same network, you can use File Sharing to copy items between them.
First, connect your Macs to the same network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. If you don't have access to a larger network, you can simply connect an Ethernet cable between your two computers. If your computer doesn't have an Ethernet connection, check to see if you have a USB to Ethernet adapter you can use, or a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter.
Next, enable File Sharing on one of the computers.
- Open System Preferences.
- Select Sharing.
- Make note of the name of this computer in the Computer Name field.
- Select (check) the option for File Sharing.
On the other Mac, connect the two computers using these steps:
- Click the Finder icon in the Dock to switch to the Finder.
- Choose Go > Connect To Server.
- Click the Browse button.
- Locate the other computer in the window that appears. Double-click the computer's icon.
- If prompted, enter the user name and password for the user's files you are trying to copy.
You can now copy files between the two computers for this user. Repeat the steps above for any other users you have on your computer.
When you're done
After you finish copying over all of your files, consider deauthorizing iTunes on your old Mac if you aren't going to use it anymore. See "What to do before selling or giving away your Mac" for more information.

Good Dogs
Since birth, Eaton's destiny has been to serve. The golden retriever-Labrador mix was bred to be a calm, focused and obedient companion to a human in need. Aspiring to join the 1,721 active Canine Companions for Independence teams, Eaton hopes to help a disabled owner live a fuller life.
For duty's sake, Eaton gave up a typical puppy-hood.
"We got him at eight weeks," says Anne Arundel County Deputy Chief of Police Emerson Davis, who, with wife Donna, signed on to raise Companion puppies.
After the extensive application process, the Davis family supports Eaton — from food to vet bills — while they raise him for another person. It's hard to fall in love with a puppy and then let him go, Davis acknowledges, but the end justifies the heartbreak.
"I had a brother with Down Syndrome, so I know what it's like for people with disabilities," says Davis. "I'm on the Commission of Disabilities, too, so I know what these dogs can do."
Eaton is the couple's first puppy-raising assignment.
"It's a lot more fun than training a regular pet," Davis says, of a curriculum that includes basic obedience; exposure to as many smells, sights and sounds as possible; acclimation to a menagerie of animals; and behavior at human workplaces.
|Eaton, a golden retriever-Labrador mix, has been in training to become a Canine Companion for Independence since he was eight weeks old.
Eaton splits his week between the Anne Arundel County Police offices with Emerson and the St. Anne's School with Donna, who had to teach self-control to both her dog and her young students. Eaton is so restrained that he has yet to bark, because the Davises haven't taught him a barking command.
"In the beginning, I would spend 15 to 20 minutes on specific commands. He is always training on something, whether it's a meeting or at the grocery store," Davis says.
Even lying quietly on the floor while humans speak over his head, Eaton is in training.
Canine Companions for Independence oversees with training guidelines. Eaton is scheduled to learn certain skills by certain ages. Each month, the Davises file a report with Companions describing Eaton's progress, medical condition and attentiveness.
When Eaton graduates to advanced training, the Davises will keep up with him through a monthly progress report from Companion's training facility.
"We have him until he's 18 months old," Emerson says. "Then we send him off to Puppy College."
Dedicated to the Job
For all the cute nicknames, Companions' Regional Training Center in Medford, New York, is an intensive program that prepares each dog for one of four jobs: Service Dogs assist the physically disabled with everyday tasks; Hearing Dogs alert deaf and hearing-impaired people to important noises; Facility Dogs work as visitation, healthcare and education ambassadors; Skilled Companions help children and adults with cognitive and developmental problems achieve greater independence.
Canine Companions for Independence doesn't train seeing-eye dogs for one important reason: Seeing-eye dogs must learn how to disobey commands when appropriate.
"It's a totally different set of skills," explains Davis. "If a blind person walks down to the edge of City Dock and tries to go forward, his dog will balk. That's how [seeing-impaired people] know it's dangerous and not to continue."
|"What Mahler does aren't tricks, they're essential to me" says Nancy Patterson. As a canine companion, "Mahler is on call all the time."
Companion dogs are trained to obey, always. Their services are essential to their people's daily lives, so refusing a task isn't part of the job — or the training.
"You take one of our dogs down to City Dock and try to walk off, you're going to get wet," says Davis. "They'll just say okay and jump in with you."
The graduate Companion dog obeys commands 24/seven. Nancy Patterson — Companions' Maryland Volunteer Coordinator and Davis' presentation partner — was matched with her service dog Mahler, another golden/Lab mix, in November, 2007. Five years into the partnership, Mahler opens her doors, fetches her crutches, pulls her wheelchair, brings in groceries, recycles and picks up change Patterson dropped.
"There are Companion dogs, and there are real dogs," Patterson explains. "What Mahler does aren't tricks; they're essential to me. Mahler is on call all the time."
One of the frustrations of owning such a cuddly helpmate is that strangers don't understand their importance. By petting a Companion dog without permission, you can distract the dog from its job.
"It's not that I'm mean or the dog is mean, but he's just a dog and I need him to focus," Patterson says.
On to Something Great
Focus is a lot to ask from a puppy, and many of the nearly 800 Companion pups don't make it through training.
|"I want Eaton," says Anne Arundel County Deputy Chief of Police Emerson Davis. "But I know that someone else needs him. When I give Eaton up, I know he's going on to do something great."
"Last year, 262 teams graduated," Davis reports. "About 45 percent of the puppies graduate to become full Companion dogs. Dogs are disqualified for various reasons. Even if they can do the work, if they don't like doing it, they're rejected."
Because of these rigorous demands, Companion dogs have formed a sort of fraternity.
"Eaton loves meeting other Canine Companions for Independence dogs," says Davis. "When he sees the vest [worn by a Companion working dog], he gets really excited."
Patterson sees the same pattern. "I'll have Mahler walk along City Dock, and he'll ignore 100 dogs. But he'll get excited for a Companion dog," she says.
Dogs are rejected from the program if medical testing even hints at a problem in the future. If a dog is rejected, his puppy raisers may adopt him. Emerson has assured Eaton he'll always be welcome in the Davis home.
When Eaton gets the call to college, how will Davis let go of his puppy?
"My wife likes to say it's the difference between wants and needs," Emerson says. "I want Eaton. I want to keep him so bad I can taste it. But I know that someone else needs him. At least when I give Eaton up, I know he's going on to do something great."
To support Canine Companions for Independence and see Mahler and Eaton in person, buy tickets to April 22's Sails and Tails event at Pusser's Caribbean Grill: www.cci.org. See 8 Days a Week for details.

Market Scene: Hyde Park Farmers Market in Cincinnati, OH
I moved to Cincinnati from New York City in 2009 for a year-long contract. Then, and in the many subsequent visits I've made since, I was floored by the small local food businesses and farms. Yes, the city's restaurant scene may still have a little ways to go, but their market scene is already stellar.
There are farmers markets everywhere—several daily—with plenty of farmers and home "cottage" businesses to supply them. And since we couldn't pay a visit to each and every one, we ultimately settled on the popular and highly recommended Hyde Park market.
On Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Hyde Park Square closes down automobile traffic so that the almost 40 vendors can set up shop. Live music is amped from the greenery and families walk with leashed dogs and rambling children, sitting on the lawn to listen and let sticky foods drip from their fingers.
Obviously fresh produce is in abundance, all from local, organic growers. And while right now variety isn't quite at its peak, there's still plenty to be had. Bergefurd's Farm had the first of this season's sweet corn we spotted, which they guaranteed was super-sweet and only the beginning of what's to come. From Can-Du Farms, we snagged some delicately papered purple tomatillos and fingerling potatoes. The latter proved buttery and smooth when we later wrapped them in some local bacon and roasted them crisp. Hazelfield and Finn Meadows farms blew us away with the variety and bowl-you-over juiciness of their tomatoes, the likes of which I have yet to spot out east.
Many more local farms were doling out cucumbers, summer squash, peppers, potatoes, and bushels of fresh herbs. Long stems of garlic bulbs and yellow and red onions were in abundance. The salad greens, already sold out, were reportedly amazing. So, yeah, the produce rocks.
But the thing is, the produce is just the beginning. We grabbed some grass-fed lamb and beef from Grassroots Farm and Foods, loaded up on honeys and syrup, and plan to return next week for some goat's milk fudge and a dozen types of hummus.
Which is how our slideshow grew to encompass a whopping 27 images. Yes, go to load up on the produce, but stay a bit to explore the particularly delicious prepared goods, talk to all the vendors about their amazing companies, and bring lots of cash and a soft bag to schlep it all home.

The exclusive 1.6-hectare Morgan Estate, located along the shores of Lake of Two Mountains in the West Island community of Senneville, is being offered for sale for $8.5 million. Built in 1912 and referred to as "Le Sabot" (the boot), this waterfront property is considered to be one of Canada's finest examples of the Arts and Craft residential style of architecture.
It was built for cultural philanthropist and department store owner F. Cleveland Morgan, who was the great-nephew of the founder of the Henry Morgan and Co. department stores, locally referred to as Morgan's. (The company closed its doors in 1960 after being sold to the Hudson's Bay Co.)
David Shennan, a well-respected Scottish architect of the time, designed the Morgan estate and was also responsible for putting to paper the design for Manoir Richelieu, the Hotel Ta-doussac and the Thousand Islands Club. He also had a hand in the design of the castle-like Château Laurier in Ottawa.
With 27 rooms, including 12 bedrooms and nine bathrooms, the romantic, stone-turreted manor is having its 100th anniversary this year. Four generations of Morgans have lived in the home and still do.
This gated property is set back from Senneville Rd. by sweeping lawns, mature hardwood trees and formal English gardens - complete with a huge, rectangular lily pool. Le Sabot hearkens back to a period in our history when architectural form was trying to break free from the bounds of Victorian-era stuffiness and conformity. It was a new age of opulence, opportunity and fodder for dreamers. The year the estate was built was also the year that the world's fastest passenger liner, HMS Titanic, went down off the coast of Newfoundland on its maiden voyage, claiming 1,517 lives.
These were the times that Cleveland Morgan lived in, and this is why this estate was such a pleasure to visit - a pearl among the numerous rocks of the modernly mundane.
The exterior of the building was designed in a Georgian-Normandy-style, with its steep slate roof and two fieldstone turrets that face visitors as they first glimpse the manor. There is a circular stone dovecote (a structure for housing pigeons) on the grand lawn facing the home, a throwback to a time when many well-off country gentlemen bred the birds for racing and show.
The property at 264 Senne-ville Rd. encompasses two bedroom wings with six bedrooms, four bathrooms and three marble fireplaces in the main home. There is also a separate servants' quarters and a large four-bedroom guest annex with a towering two-storey stone fireplace and two-car garage.
There is a very large heated outdoor swimming pool overlooking the Lake of Two Mountains and Oka Village in the distance, a private tennis court, a large and impressive 14-metre-long solarium and continual waterfront views along the length of the property.
Other features include rich oak panelling, balcony views, fieldstone walls, clay floor tiles that were made in Oka of local red clay, Brazilian flooring, a library, hand-painted motifs and a lived-in ambience that wraps you in its warm shroud as soon as you enter the home.
The front entranceway has that typical Georgian-style flavour, with a wide wooden door flanked by long, rectangular glass windows, greystone steps and trim, and topped with ornamental forged iron on its mantle.
You enter the home through the grand entrance hall with rich oak furnishings and panelling, and a beautiful antique spiral staircase leading to the second storey of the three-storey domicile. The staircase was originally found in the former governor's residence at the Château de Ramezay, but after the building was partially gutted by fire, the staircase was acquired and restored by Morgan for his home. The red clay tiling is the main type of flooring found on the ground floor.
Corniced cove ceilings with fleur-de-lis and poisson motifs are found throughout the main floor. The home is built in the Central Cross-Hall plan, with living and dining rooms on each side.
The living room is well lit by numerous windows and French doors, most looking out over the lake. A handsome and classic open-hearth limestone fireplace seems to be an invitation to brew a pot of tea over its blaze. Incorporated into the space where the turret is situated is an alcove that uses the recess to show off the 19th-century grandfather clock that resides there and to let in natural sunlight from the long, rectangular windows that flank the alcove.
The dining area is a large room with a formal fireplace, panelled walls, built-in china cabinets and fine trim borders along the ceiling, doorways and baseboards.
Both the dining and living rooms open up into the northwest-facing solarium, which has incredible views of the lake and surrounding country. The solarium leads to a large terrace, English gardens and the heated in-ground pool - complete with diving board.
The land slopes downward to the shoreline of the lake and its menagerie of wildlife that find this location as attractive as Morgan would have when he first began laying out his country retreat. His principal residence was on Peel St., in the heart of downtown.
Wide oak plank floors are found throughout the two bedroom wings, on the second storey. The bedrooms are very well kept, original, and attractive and comfy. Canopied beds featuring hand-carved posts and frames blend well with the matching furnishings.
The third floor is largely occupied by Morgan's collection of artifacts, ranging from a mummified cranium to sea shells, plant pressings and numerous other curiosities that he collected during his decades of world travelling.
For 46 years, F. Cleveland Morgan was the curator of decorative arts at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, a voluntary position he loved and dedicated his life to. He acquired thousands of specimens from around the world for the museum to demonstrate the history of art.
His Senneville home is full of many examples of art and artifacts, some dating back thousands of years. Some of the art work he collected was sold at Morgan's.
There are also the hundreds of window panes that bear the names of visitors to the house - etched with a diamond-tipped pen, each made by the visitor. Some of the names include humorist Stephen Leacock, artist Clarence Gagnon and Sir John Abbott. It must have seen some great parties in its past.
In the 1960s, the Morgan family donated land to McGill University for the creation of the 240-hectare Morgan Arboretum.
With the sale of this estate, another window into the history of Montreal will be closed, but not locked to those who wish to seek it.
Cleveland Morgan's legacy is still alive and well with every dog walker or bird watcher that visits the Arboretum, or every visitor to the fine arts museum, the McCord Museum or the Redpath, among others. His was a life well lived, and his beloved "Le Sabot" heralds this life.

Quebec waterfront estate 'Le Sabot' -- $8.5M
The exclusive 1.6-hectare Morgan Estate, located along the shores of Lake of Two Mountains in the West Island community of Senneville, is being offered for sale for $8.5 million. Built in 1912 and referred to as "Le Sabot" (the boot), this waterfront property is considered to be one of Canada's finest examples of the Arts and Craft residential style of architecture.

By DAVID GREEN
Fayette native Dick Lukens can't shake the memory of some very good bologna from his childhood.
He sent a letter last week about Fayette Bologna once made at Fidler's Meat Market and he's hoping to get the recipe.
Some Fayette residents can tell you that just isn't going to happen.
"They made a homemade bologna which we called 'Fayette Bologna'. It was the best you ever ate," Dick wrote. "I am wondering if anyone around town knows the recipe that they used to make it, or perhaps a local meat processing place might make it or know about the recipe."
Dick, who graduated from Fayette in 1950, now lives in St. Joseph, Mo. He's acquainted with a butcher there who might make a batch of Fayette Bologna—if only he had the recipe.
"If Ross Hall were still living, we'd probably have it," said Gene Beaverson who fondly remembers the local treat.
John Bacon doesn't think so.
"They never gave the recipe out," he said. "Nobody got it."
He wishes someone did have it, because it was deliciously different.
John said the bologna was first made at the Tule and Heckman meat market.
"On the day they were making it, people would rush in to buy it," he said. "You could smell it all over town."
So it was pretty good stuff?
"You ain't a-kiddin'," said Mick Schaffner enthusiastically. "It was out of this world. They sold more of that bologna. People used to come from all over, even Detroit."
Nobody knows the recipe, Mick said, but he claims to know one thing: Only bulls were used for the beef. It gave the bologna a coarser texture.
"Gene Rossman tried to make it a few years ago in Wauseon, but it wasn't the same," Mick said.
Tule and Heckman's place eventually became known as Fidler's Meat Market, owned by Lowell "Debby" and Leonard Fidler.
As Mick was told, Debby Fidler was trying to get someone to take over the place. He promised to help them get going and he would give them the secret recipe. But he died before that ever happened.
It doesn't sound good for Dick Lukens.
"I don't think he'll ever get it," Mick said.
Karen Fackler drives the final nail into the bologna recipe's coffin. She's related to the Fidlers; she has connections, and she's still without the recipe.
"After Uncle Debby left, Uncle Leonard still ran the store," she said, noting there were six Fidler boys in town. "But the recipe is dead. I tried to get it."
Karen believes that her Aunt Della, Leonard's wife, was the last one with the knowledge of how to make the famous Fayette Bologna.
"The recipe died when she died," Karen said.
She remembers spending time with her uncles.
"They did their own butchering and had their own slaughterhouse. They cooked the meat themselves, too."
But even the Fidlers were having some problems with the recipe before they gave up and sold the market to the Oxenders.
"They got a lot of spices from overseas and they were having trouble getting them," Karen said.
Sorry, Dick, but that's the only hint to go by. Fayette Bologna is going to remain a delicious memory.

Officials at a southern North Carolina hospital are rethinking plans for a newly adopted "Cheat Death" slogan.
Caromont CEO Randall Kelley says the New Caromont Regional Medical Center in Gaston County is reconsidering the campaign after criticism and negative reaction.
The hospital unveiled its new slogan Thursday, saying it was meant to promote a healthy community by preventing illness in the first place. The next day, county commissioners said they were overwhelmed by negative reaction from the community and hospital workers and asked officials to reconsider.
Commissioners were also upset that they weren't consulted about the marketing plan. The county owns the hospital building and the land it sits on.
Kelley says the slogan was never meant to offend or incite anyone.

The launch discussion of Dr. Avi Lifschitz's Language and Enlightenment: The Berlin Debates of the Eighteenth Century was attended by Dr. Lifschitz himself, Prof. Axel Körner, Prof. Christopher Clark (Cambridge), and Prof. Nicholas Cronk (Oxford) – all of whose names are certainly not foreign to anyone interested in the history of the long eighteenth century. At a quick scan of the audience later, one would also spot other scholars such as John Robertson, perhaps best known among history undergraduates as the author of The Case for the Enlightenment: Scotland and Naples 1680-1760, and Joanna Innes, author of Inferior Politics: Social Problems and Social Policy in Eighteenth-Century Britain.
After Prof. Körner's introduction came comments from Prof. Christopher Clark, whose contributions audience members would surely be hard pressed to forget. Declaring himself to be speaking with the "passion and enthusiasm of the ingénu," Prof. Clark soon proved his contributions were anything but an ingénu's as he combined his delightful sense of humour with penetrating insights on historical debates on the origin of language. He pointed out that these enquiries were central to Enlightenment thought, for they provided a linguistic metaphor for the political questions of the time. Prof. Nicholas Cronk then continued the discussion from a different angle, approaching Language and Enlightenment from the position of a specialist in French literature. Dr. Lifschitz responded more than adequately to the issues raised by the other discussants, tying up the most hilarious of loose ends when he clarified that Friedrich Wilhelm I had in fact appointed university professors as court fools, who were then appointed presidents of his Academy – something which drew much laughter from the academic crowd.
Panel and audience then mingled in the post-discussion reception. I myself had the great privilege of discussing Voltaire's correspondence with Catherine II with Prof. Nicholas Cronk, the general editor of Voltaire's complete works. This was proof that events such as this present a wonderful opportunity for us ingénus to speak with and be inspired by those responsible for much of the scholarship that we now depend on. Indeed, for anyone keen on eighteenth-century history, room 106 in Gordon House on Monday evening was certainly the place to be.

I found this site because we got a rescue Pit Bull/American Bulldog a year ago (originally just as a foster but we cannot give him back of course!) and were new to the bully breeds. We've found since then that Bo is one of the best and most responsive dogs we've ever owned and I would choose a Pit Bull/American Bulldog anytime again for their temperament and behavior!
Unfortunately, we have to move to Modesto for work and have found that that there are NO rentals available under any circumstances for any of the bully breeds. I had no idea it would be so tough! We own a house and have great credit and previous rental histories but no one has even bothered to ask us about that... So the reason we signed up for this site is to figure out: how do we find a rental in an anti-pitbull town like Modesto?

So, I was looking for some quick to setup PHP Image gallery file. I found couple but none of them suited my needs too well. So I had to write my own.
Very simple PHP script to show all the images under 'images' folder.
Shows some details in the images.
That is all that I wanted and that is all that this script does. So pretty simple single php file. Dependency is on fancybox so you will need the jquery and all but nothing else is required.

Our Mission . . .
The Iraqi & Syrian Student Project (ISSP) is a grass-roots effort to help war-displaced Iraqi and Syrian students acquire an undergraduate education. ISSP seeks the help of US and Canadian colleges and universities along with a host of generous donors and volunteers in fulfilling our mission.
January 2019
Dear Friends,
Here is an update on The Iraqi and Syrian Student Project (ISSP), but first, a quick telling of ISSP so far:
Over the five years of Iraqi Student Project (ISP) in Syria, more than 60 Iraqi students, most of them refugees who had found safety in Syria, completed the ISP program with us in Damascus. They were accepted for undergraduate study at universities in the US. Most received scholarships or tuition waivers from their universities and much support from groups in the local community. The final group came to their US studies in 2012 and the two of us returned to New York City at that time. By then Syria was 16 months into the violence that continues now.
Few of the ISP students have returned to Iraq as the disorder there continues even now. Many of the ISP students have completed or are now completing graduate programs in the US. Others have joined their now-resettled families in the US, Canada or other countries. And there have been some ISP students marry and we have ISP grandchildren!
We have continued the ISP as ISSP beginning in 2015. Some of the Syrian students working with us have been refugees in Istanbul, Turkey while others have continued to live in Syria. The ISSP mission is to prepare them for college study and to help them find admission and scholarships to universities.
Six Syrians came to begin studies in US universities in 2016, but in 2017 we began to work with Canadian universities because of the "travel ban" in the US for Syrians. That fall five Syrians began their undergraduate studies in Canada and one student came for a one-year program in film-making, now completed.
In September of 2018, three young women who had been living and working in Damascus, came to Canada with study permits: two are now beginning MA programs and a third student has begun undergraduate studies.
In December 2018 we brought two Syrian students to Canadian universities from Istanbul. They have studied there in the space used by Ad Dar ("Home") Center. Mazen Rabia, a Palestinian from Damascus and himself a refugee in Turkey, made it his task in Istanbul to create a space where young Syrians can meet each other, study with volunteer teachers, have a good meal, and themselves engage in helping others in the refugee community. Mazen was a dear friend of ours in Damascus. He graciously opened Ad Dar to the language study for ISSP candidates beginning in 2015. For more about Ad Dar Center see: addarcenter.org.
ISP became ISSP officially last year when we worked with the various state offices in New York to change the name and the purpose of our not-for-profit to include Syrian students. We continue to be a 501(c)3 with the IRS. We have a Board of Directors with three members: Doug Hostetter, William Merriman, and Theresa Kubasak. We have no salaried employees. Donations go toward the expenses of language testing in Istanbul and Damascus and the various fees of application and enrollment and eventually the travel of the students to Canada. Once in their universities, some of the students continue to need ISSP financial support for varying expenses including meals and lodging. Most are able to work part-time to pay some of their way.
Donations are welcome and so are questions and suggestions.

Washington Student Association
The WSA is the recognized student voice at public colleges and universities in Washington State, representing over 120,000 students to the Washington State Legislature and statewide agencies. The mission of the WSA is to maintain affordable, accessible, and quality higher education through student involvement in the decision-making and policy development process. WSA engages in grassroots organizing on campus; lobbying at the state capitol; conducts trainings & workshops to develop student leaders; and runs voter registration, education, & mobilization campaigns. The WSA was founded in 1982 as the Washington Student Lobby. In May 2009 students chose to change the WSL's name to the Washington Student Association to better reflect the breadth of activities and direction of the organization. For more information about us check out the WSA website at http://www.wastudents.org.
We have two very different audiences, students & legislators/others in public policy, with such differences between these groups we realize one logo cannot incorporate everything we suggest here:
We would like the logo to appeal to students so they can identify it as representing them or to prompt them to find out more about us, which could be something iconic of college. Our main focus with students is involvement through grassroots organizing and advocacy, which could be represented by something that conveys energy, activism, or involvement in the legislative process.
For legislators we need a logo that appears professional; that shows we are not just a campus club, but a mature organization focused on in-depth work on higher education policy. Since we are a statewide organization, it could also include something that is representative of Washington State as a whole.
• The design must look good in color as well as black and white.
• Able to be used for letterhead, website, banners, or placards.
• The logo must contain "WSA."
• Spelling out "Washington Student Association" is optional.
• See target audience section for further suggestions.

President Obama ripped his British counterpart over the release of the Libyan terrorist convicted of killing 270 people in the Lockerbie bombing, telling Gordon Brown it was a mistake to let the cancer-stricken murderer walk free.
In a private conversation with Brown, Britain's prime minister, Obama "expressed his disappointment" at the release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi. It was the first conversation between the two leaders since July, and Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said the president wasted no time in broaching the subject.
"He thought this was a mistake," Gibbs said. "He continues to think it was a mistake."
U.S. & World
Al-Megrahi, who was convicted in 2001 and sentenced to life in prison, was freed by a Scottish minister who cited reasons of compassion, because al-Megrahi reportedly has prostate cancer. But subsequent reports that the release may instead have been part of an oil deal between the United Kingdom and Libyan strongman Col. Muammar Gaddafi, who gave al-Megrahi a hero's welcome upon his return to Libya. The British Parliament is now investigating those charges.
Obama's denouncement of al-Megrahi's release comes as Gaddafi -- who won al-Megrahi's freedom and has publicly supported the terrorist -- makes plans to visit the United States, where he'll attend a UN General Assembly meeting chaired by the commander in chief himself.

British officials: Romney's visit "a total car crash"
BERLIN (AP) -- The British were offended, the Palestinians accused him of racism and even in friendlier Poland, Mitt Romney's union policies drew criticism from the current leaders of the movement that toppled Communism.
Romney's visit to Britain, Israel and Poland was never expected to produce the same media frenzy as then-candidate Barack Obama's extravagant, eight-country tour of 2008.
Obama received rock star treatment from international media and world leaders as he traveled from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan to the glittering chancelleries of Europe.
Nevertheless, comparisons were inevitable and much of it was less than favorable to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
"The designated Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney wanted to demonstrate foreign policy expertise and diplomatic skills with his trip to Britain, Israel and Poland," the Swiss newspaper Tages-Zeitung said Tuesday. "Today, on the last day of the tour, he must be made to admit that he clearly missed this target."
Romney supporters insisted that much of the criticism was unfair and overblown, especially in countries of Europe where the political culture tends to be left of contemporary America.
Back in 2008, commentators attributed much of the public adulation that candidate Obama received in Europe to the simple fact that he was not George W. Bush, whose image had sunk because of widespread opposition to the Iraq war.
Likewise, the warm reception Romney received in Poland was due in part to the fact that he is not Barack Obama, whose overtures to Russia and other policies have not gone down well among Poles.
Whatever the differences, the contrast between the two candidates' foreign tours has been striking.
In 2008, more than 200,000 people turned out in Berlin to hear Obama speak of a world without nuclear weapons and promise to counter climate change.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy lavishly praised "my dear Barack Obama." David Cameron, then the head of Britain's opposition Conservative Party, made sure British and American television cameras recorded him with Obama in three separate locations in less than an hour.
Fast forward four years to what Germany's Spiegel Online news website described as Romney's "tour of gaffes."
It all started in London, where Romney described some of the problems facing Olympic organizers at the start of the Games as "disconcerting," unwelcome comments from a foreigner that unleashed a media firestorm in Britain.
Cameron, now the prime minister, fired back that "it's easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere," though aides insisted the prime minister wasn't referring to Salt Lake City, where the GOP nominee ran the 2002 Winter Games.
The Daily Mail newspaper quoted anonymous British officials as saying Romney's visit was "a total car crash" and that the likely GOP standard bearer was "worse than Sarah Palin."
"The striking comparison here is with George W. Bush," the London newspaper The Independent fumed. "Even the bumbling, gaffe-prone Dubya appears diplomatically agile next to the supposedly urbane Mr. Romney."
Although Romney's reception in Israel was warmer, he nonetheless stirred up a storm by dismissing Palestinian claims to Jerusalem and implying that their culture -- and not Israeli military occupation -- was responsible for the economic gap between Israelis and Palestinians.
"Yesterday, he destroyed negotiations by saying Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, and today he is saying Israeli culture is more advanced than Palestinian culture," fumed a top Palestinian official Saeb Erekat. "Isn't this racism?"
Romney insisted his comments had been misinterpreted. He told Fox News that he "did not speak about the Palestinian culture or the decisions made in their economy."
Still his comments drew criticism from China, whose state-run Xinhua News Agency said Romney's "hawkish remarks" could worsen an already tense Mideast situation.
Things went better for Romney in Poland, where Obama is widely unpopular because of his administration's efforts to improve relations with Russia -- a country many Poles view with deep suspicion.
On the other hand, Romney has branded Russia the "No. 1 geopolitical foe" -- language that pleases many Poles and reminds them of Ronald Reagan whom many of them revere for helping to bring down Communism.
Ex-President Lech Walesa, former leader of the Solidarity labor movement that helped end Communist rule, has never forgiven Obama for perceived snubs, including the U.S. president's refusal last year to receive him privately during a presidential visit to Poland.
Walesa effectively endorsed Romney when they met Monday in Gdansk, where the Solidarity movement was born in 1980. The current leaders of the movement, however, distanced themselves from the Romney visit, citing the candidate's "attacks against trade unions and labor rights."
That didn't appear to detract significantly from an overall positive reception, which Romney's supporters hope will translate into Polish-American votes in swing states.
"Romney has shown that he is well oriented in Poland's affairs. He said what sounds good to a Polish ear," said Bartosz Wisniewski, an analyst for Poland's International Affairs Institute.

Have you ever Googled yourself? Do you think Googling yourself is an act of extreme egotism? If so, guess again.
In the age of social media, where everyone has the ability to post anything they want on the Internet, Googling yourself is a necessity.
Most businesses work very hard to get to the top of Google search results, but a commodity producer of livestock may want to be on the bottom, or not show up at all.
What happens when somebody posts negative information about you or your business, or worse yet, pictures or video that you don't approve of? First, don't panic. Here is what to do.
Google Alerts is a free service that sends you an email every time it indexes a page that includes your search criteria. You can use Google Alerts for many things including following your favorite sports team or news about milk & corn prices. I find it particularly useful to track information about your self.
Go to www.google.com/alerts and set up any number of keyword searches. I created alerts for my wife as well as my kids, mother, grandmother, and myself. My list includes names, company names, street addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and driver's license numbers.
Never set Google Alerts for sensitive information like bank account numbers, social security numbers or credit cards. However, you should occasionally check these items through Google's search.
Bonus Content
Where to search, Extended column
Anytime one of your keywords appears in Google's index you will get an email alert linking you to the page. Let's say the leader of your local 4-H club posts your child's name, address and phone number to the club's website. Within hours of that post, Google will inform you via your inbox.
In this example, the solution is to simply contact the person and have them take it down. But what if you don't know the culprit or the post is somehow malicious?
First, contact the owner of the website, and ask them to remove it. Most people will comply.
If this doesn't work, you can attempt to have the page removed from the Google index. It is important to note that Google can't remove the page in question; they can only remove it from their index so that it doesn't show up in search results. To start this process, search for "Remove information from Google." Once on the Google support page, read the removals policy. Google will not remove public information such as your street address, but it does have a policy against images of animal abuse.
This could be useful if someone is claiming animal abuse on your farm. The site asks you a series of questions and if your issue meets the criteria, Google will remove it from the index.
You should also check Bing, Yahoo, and the other major search engines and follow the same process.
Extra content:
Most search engines, including Google, track what you do online and tailor your search results to what they think you want. This is creating a phenomenon known as the information bubble. This helps you find what you want quickly but has a negative side effect of excluding something you might want.
When searching for information about yourself, use an anonymous search engine like startpage.com or duckduckgo.com. These sites will show you what other people see when searching for you.

Dance music superstar Deadmau5 and his bride-to-be, celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D, are to exchange vows in an underwater-themed ceremony.
The DJ, real name Joel Zimmerman, proposed to the reality TV star in December, and now they're putting the finishing touches to their August 10 nuptials.
According to People.com, the couple will marry in an "underwater-themed" ceremony before 200 friends and family in Los Angeles.
Sources claim the ceremony will be inspired by the couple's mutual love for author H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu," about a half-man, half-octopus character.
And Von D has picked out her gown designers – Falguni and Shane Peacock – and wedding style.
She explains, "(The dress) will have a sleek silhouette and include hints of iridescent teals, blues and deep violet ombre gradients."

Headquartered in Nairobi, Junior Achievement Kenya is a subsidiary of Junior Achievement Worldwide, one of the world's largest and fastest growing nonprofit organizations committed to preparing the next generation of entrepreneurs for success in a global economy.
Since 1999, Junior Achievement Kenya has reached at least 175,000 students with the support of 17,000 volunteers and 14 branches throughout the country.
Through hands-on training in work-readiness, business and financial literacy, Junior Achievement (JA) works with traditionally underserved youth to give them the tools they need to generate income and effectively manage it.
"We ran a very successful fast foods business and reported more than 100% return on our investment," reports Steve Biko, a JA Kenya alum, who participated in the organization's Company Program. One of JA's most successful initiatives, this program allows students to run and manage their own businesses. For Steve, it gave him the skills and knowledge he would later apply in his professional career.
"I have become a more proactive employee," he explains. "In our JA company, we never waited for another person to take initiative on our behalf. Whenever we saw an opportunity we pursued it."
Thanks to experience gained through JA, Steve landed an internship at an international business where he works today as a manager.
"Participating in JA prepared me for work life," he says. "I am grateful for JA for having given us that opportunity."

WOODSTOCK, Maine — Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he's scuttling plans for a TV studio near his vacation home in rural Maine because of publicity.
Carlson planned to buy an old town garage and transform it into a studio under a deal that called for him to pay $30,000 for the building while Fox would pay to equip the studio, the Sun Journal newspaper reported.
But Carlson pulled the plug within hours of the news report Wednesday evening. Carlson described himself as "bitter" and "crushed" and called the news report a "total violation of my privacy."
He said Fox would never leave such expensive equipment in a small, rural studio whose presence is widely known.
The flap comes as Carlson deals with fallout from the disclosure by Media Matters of racist and sexist comments he made on "Bubba the Love Sponge" radio show years ago, before he joined Fox.
As for Bryant Pond, it holds a special place in Carlson's heart.
Carlson told the town that he's "spent virtually every summer of my life" at nearby Lake Christopher. He currently broadcasts occasionally from a room in the town library basement, which he rents for $2,500 a year, the newspaper reported.

Tales from the olden days of Apple have always been popular among the geek crowd, especially when they come from people like Steve Wozniak. That's why a series of rare, vintage Woz videos uploaded to YouTube early Friday has sparked some interest. YouTube user Vince Patton told AppleInsider that the videos came from a VHS recording of Woz speaking at the Denver Apple Pi club on October 4, 1984, with Woz covering an entire range of topics. There's also a bonus appearance from Apple's sixth employee, Randy Wigginton.
Below are a handful of the videos uploaded by Patton (check out the rest on Patton's YouTube page):

My last post was number 150. Adding to that the 45 pages on my blog I am now beginning to amass a reasonable level of varied content. Since picking up blogging again at the end of February I have managed to produce daily posts (though occasionally posted a day or two late). I missed out yesterday, so this one is a catch-up for Monday 25 June. I also owe two posts from last week when I missed Monday and Tuesday. Plan to make up for those before the end of this week.
4 thoughts on "150 posts"
You are amazing……150 posts…..and I enjoy your Blog. I am just getting started and it is a steep learning curve for me. I think my father would have loved this new world. He was a Telegrapher with the Canadian Pacific Railway and was the fastest typist I knew. He also operated a Ham Radio which we listened to in the long winter nights of the 1950's. We would wait weeks sometimes to receive a "contact made" card in the mail. How he would have loved all this worldwide immediate contact. He could have used his call sign for his user name…….VE6IR!

Say this for the folks in charge of NCAA football: They don't much care about being popular. If they did, they'd probably take an extra second or two to stop and think about how the people who keep them in business feel about the decisions they make.
If they did that, they probably would have left Thursday's change to the rules about taunting on the drawing board and focused on ways to actually make the game more enjoyable. The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved a change to the way taunting penalties are assessed and they will now take away touchdowns if a player is deemed to be taunting before crossing the end zone.
That sound you don't hear is football fans turning to one another and saying "Thank the Lord, because I was worried that referees weren't going to have enough leeway to influence games with their own interpretations of the intentions of other human beings."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The problem with this rule, which goes into effect for the 2011 season, is that there is absolutely no guideline for how it gets enforced. Do you throw a flag if a running back raises his fist in triumph with no defenders in sight? Or is there going to be a zone of taunting that must be penetrated before a penalty occurs? What if a player dives into the end zone between a pair of defenders who may or may not be close enough to make a play?
The answer will be different in every game because this rule turns every NCAA referee into Potter Stewart, the Supreme Court judge who famously said that pornography was hard to define but he knew it when he saw it. Sports rules aren't supposed to work that way outside of figure skating.
The subjectivity inherent in applying this new standard is going to wind up affecting games, seasons and careers for reasons apparent only to the small group of old guys in suits who actually think the elation of 19-year-olds is a problem.
Like we said, they don't care about being popular. It would be swell if they cared about football, though.

Major League Baseball's rich owners and its not-so-rich owners are skirmishing over the game's economic structure, and if something doesn't change by this time next year the conflict will burst into a bench-clearing brawl. For years, the poorest franchises have wanted rich clubs to share more of their local revenues, which include parking, concessions, gate receipts, and local broadcast contracts. The poor-club argument got a boost in July when an independent panel appointed by MLB recommended that baseball pool half of its local revenues.
The money pressure will only increase at the close of next season, when baseball's labor agreement expires and the players negotiate a sweeter deal for themselves. The cash-starved, small-market teams will say that without revenue sharing they won't be able to survive, let alone field competitive teams. If pushed too hard in the direction of revenue sharing, the rich owners might even pull out of Major League Baseball and form their own league.
The rich owners are right to oppose revenue sharing. It will not restore competitive balance. And extending life support to the half-dozen poorest franchises will only undermine the successful teams. The best alternative is to reduce MLB from 30 franchises to the two dozen that have a legitimate chance of staying healthy. Contraction has been quietly debated inside the baseball temples for more than a year now. Several executives, such as the San Diego Padres' Larry Lucchino, have suggested dropping a couple of teams.
It all comes down to money. According to the report commissioned by MLB, the gap between rich and poor franchises has widened. Revenues at baseball's eight richest clubs have almost doubled since 1995, rising from $69 million apiece to $123 million. Meanwhile, baseball's poorest eight teams brought in $29 million per club last year, only $6 million more than in 1995.
With rare exception, the suffering franchises play in fairly small TV markets—those with 1.5 million or fewer households. This explains why these clubs are going broke: Local broadcast revenue is baseball's most important income source. More viewers mean more money, and more money means a fatter treasury to attract top players, and top players often translate into bigger audiences. Also, big bucks make it easier for clubs to weather bad years.
The root of the problem has been over-expansion: Since the expansion era began in 1962, MLB has tried to put a team in every decent-sized North American city instead of moving franchises to where the people are. For example, instead of expanding the league again in the late '90s, MLB should have moved the Twins or the Expos to Phoenix. If a team can't attract enough fans in one city, it should be given two cities, maybe even three so the potential market is at least 1.5 million homes. So let's get out the surgical saw:
On paper, Southern California should be able to support three teams. But in reality, the Padres and the Angels are still in the second division of baseball's revenue tables. Combine them! Assuming a third of Los Angeles supports the team, it would control about 2.8 million households. The team could be called the Saints or maybe something snappier, like the Nuns.
Theoretically, Southern Florida should support at least two teams. Right now, it doesn't support any. The Marlins rank 20th by local revenue; the Devil Rays are 11th and fading fast. Merge them and move the new franchise to Orlando, where it would draw fans from across the state, as well as tourists. Miami, Tampa, and Orlando together have just over 4 million homes. Suggested names: the Sun Rays, the Fish, the Darlin's.
The upper Midwest only needs one team. The Twins (29th in local revenue) can merge with the Brewers (25th). The combined Minneapolis-St. Paul-Milwaukee market: 2.3 million. Suggested name: the Beavers, evocative of the area's rich history of fur trapping.
The Cardinals (14th by revenue) draw well throughout Missouri, but not in the far west of the state. Nix the Royals. They rank 26th by revenue. Combined Kansas City-St. Louis market: 2 million. Suggested name: Still the Cardinals.
Then, there are the Blue Jays and the Expos, two large-market teams that rank 16th and 30th by revenue and both on the decline. The combined team should be moved to Ottawa and given a name that shows it is Canada's team. The Frostbacks? It may be an insult, but in Canada, so is Yankee. Combined market, including Ottawa: 4.7 million.
Contraction's opponents worry that baseball will eliminate teams that may become viable. Indeed, a decade ago, the Mariners, the Indians, and the Braves all struggled to make ends meet. All three are now healthy. Ten years from now, the same may be true of the White Sox and the Giants. But that won't be true of the Athletics, the Bay Area's No. 2 team. Merge them with the Giants immediately. The new team could be called the Gigantics. It would dominate a TV market of 2.4 million households.
That leaves just two franchises struggling in small markets, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Both dwell in the bottom half by revenue, but neither is in immediate danger of failing. And both are close to opening new stadiums. If they don't improve, merge them with the Phillies and the Indians.
Or, one of them could move to New York, a market of nearly 7 million—more than enough room for a third team. What do Pirates bring to mind if not Wall Street? And is there a better home for a team called the Reds than the Upper West Side?

Library of Virginia Lexile Level Lists
Article in Juvenile Fiction, Juvenile Nonfiction, and Lists
We admit it loudly and proudly . . . we are snobbish about books. This is a good thing. We want to provide exceptional high quality materials to children and teens. We do not want to provide just any book at a Lexile level. We want to provide books that are well written, interesting and appealing to the people in our community. So we create lists, lists of award books, list of notable books, lists of best of the year books. We have gone back to 2004 of the following lists; ALA Notable Children's Books, Capitol Choices, School Library Journal, Virginia State Reading Awards, Jefferson Cup and Hornbook and checked them against the Lexile level database, and arranged them by author, title, Lexile level, interest level.

What Is a Guinea Hen?
he name guinea hen, or guinea fowl, correctly identifies this bird's West African origins. This small and hardy bird is a relative of the chicken and partridge, but has a much darker meat than either. The bird's name has always been confusing, since the terms "guinea fowl" and "guinea hen" are used interchangeably, and refer to either female or male birds of the species. In plumage the sexes are indistinguishable, but the males are larger.
Guinea hens are easily recognizable by the distinct white dotted pattern of their pearly gray plumage, as well as their bald, vulture-like head. Guinea hens are similar in size to chickens and pheasants. They have a distinctive screech for a voice, sometimes described as a rusty windmill.
In early Rome and Greece, the birds were imported and served as a great favorite of the nobles. When the Roman Empire collapsed, however, the bird's popularity vanished along with it. It wasn't until the sixteenth century that the Portuguese, who by then had conquered Guinea, introduced pintada to France. The Portuguese name, meaning painted or spotted bird, became pintade in French. In France, guinea hen is so often eaten that it is referred to as the "Sunday bird." In Germany they are known as perlhuh, and faraona in Italy. In Europe, annual consumption of guinea hens is about 100 million birds. In the New World, guinea hens first appeared in Haiti. It's believed that they were transported alive, in cages, on board ships carrying African slaves. But in the United States, we have yet to develop the robust appetite that Europe has for this fantastic bird.
Although guinea hens are found on farms, they are independent and unsocial and have never truly been domesticated. They like to perch on the highest branches of the tallest trees. If they sense that the grain being offered is a lure or trap, they go off and forage for themselves. Put them in cages and try to mate them, and they won't lay eggs. Leave them in the open, and they bury their eggs where it's difficult to find them. They are undaunted by larger birds, and have no problem bossing turkeys around. Truly, these birds have big attitudes.
Because these birds have never been totally domesticated, their flesh is darker and more flavorful or gamey tasting, like a pheasant's. Unlike a pheasant's, the guinea hen's legs do not have tough tendons, so they are more readily used. A relative of the chicken and partridge, the guinea hen's lean and tender dark meat has less fat than chicken and boasts a pleasant, slightly gamey flavor that is similar to pheasant in taste. Guinea hens have 50 percent less fat than chicken, and a 50-50 ratio of meat to bone. Because the bird is lean, the flesh can become dry and stringy, so many recipes call for moist cooking methods. If you roast a guinea hen, it should be generously covered with fat, such as bacon, duck fat, or butter, and slowly roasted. Additionally, you can cook the parts of the bird separately: braise the breast, and roast, braise, or confit the legs.
D'Artagnan's guinea hens are humanely raised from the highest grade of French breeding stock to ensure a top quality bird. Their diet consists of corn, soy and wheat alfalfa, with no antibiotics or hormones ever used. Air-chilling helps preserve the meat's texture and flavor and because the skin is not water-logged, it cooks up nice and crispy.

What if there is nothing wrong with you? EVER?! EVER?!?!?!...... EVER?!?!
If you stopped trying to fix what you have decided is wrong about you- and headed instead of the direction of what's right about you that you are not getting- would that change your life?
Have you seen the movie The Matrix? Do you remember the part where Neo meets Morpheus for the first time and he offers him the blue pill(to go back to the life he knew) or the red pill ( that would blow all his beliefs and paradigms of what he was capable of and whats possible?)...well Access is the red pill for me...and I'm stoked I took it!!
Have you always known there HAS to be more to life?
For MANY many years I wrestled with feeling I was not good enough- that there was something inherently wrong with me- no matter how much I gave, how much I did or the success I had- I judged ceaselessly that I was not enough. With this point of view about me so engrained, I created abusive friendships and relationships, where I swung between giving myself up for them and then fighting to have me . (Not my brightest choice!).
My true nature is that I am a possibilitarian- a seeker who does not give up - despite my crappy choices!
I KNEW there had to be more to life than what I was currently having.
So I learnt and became involved with a vast array of natural therapies for over 20 years and searched and experimented with many modalities and philosophies, in the vain hope they would "fix me". NONE of them did!!
I energetically invited Access Consciousness into my life, after yelling at the Universe one depserate night .....
I discovered the Bars and received a session .... EVERYTHING changed...
I then attended A Bars class and two days later I woke up with a voice in my head saying " You are going to become an Access Facilitator and take this to the World". I had never been so certain about anything in my entire life.
NOTHING comes close to the ease, lightness and fun that I experience with using the Access tools.
I apply the Access tools to all that I already do in my clinic and have been stunned by the rapidity and immediate change this allows for my clients and it is truly empowering them to choose for themselves.Their knowing and other hidden talents surface, they are happier and at ease with who they are. Instead of constantly looking at the wrongness of themselves, they now ask "whats right about me that I'm not getting?". The magic starts to show up the more they ask the question...
Now I travel the world facilitating a plethora of classes- Money Isn't The Problem You Are, Salon Des Femmes, Talk To The Animals, Prosperity Consciousness, Being You Adventures and the Core Classes of Access- Bars and Foundation along with my insatiable desire to share the tools, scatter seeds of possibilities and empower people to know that they know.
What would it be like if you got paid to do what you love?
How does it get any better than this?
Just sayin'!

Roger Nygard has made several award-winning, independent, feature films. The documentaries, TREKKIES and the sequel TREKKIES 2, are anthropological studies of a subculture of science-fiction fandom. SIX DAYS IN ROSWELL is a cultural portrait of Americana, a small town gone alien crazy. His documentary, THE NATURE OF EXISTENCE, asks the ultimate question, "What's the point of everything?" According to Nygard, "When I obsesses on a topic, I don't quit until I have a movie about it." His current documentary project focuses on an even more inexplicable topic: Marriage.
Nygard's narrative films include HIGH STRUNG, a comedy starring Steve Oedekerk, an action picture called, BACK TO BACK: AMERICAN YAKUZA 2, and the car-salesman cult-film SUCKERS. He has also edited feature films such as Mike Binder's comedy-dramas, MAN ABOUT TOWN and BLACK OR WHITE.
Nygard has also directed commercials and television shows, such as the HBO series, THE MIND OF THE MARRIED MAN," the FOX series THE BERNIE MAC SHOW, the NBC series THE OFFICE, the DisneyXD series ZEKE & LUTHER, as well as having edited Emmy and ACE nominated episodes of HBO's CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, FX's THE LEAGUE and HBO's VEEP.
