Love the fit I wanted this in the pink but I don't do "bling". So I ordered the blue and I love it. It has silver streaks that are borderline "bling" so a good compromise for me. It is lightweight and comfortable and perfect for hot humid summers. April 3, 2013
Great I had seen this shirt online and did not order due to I thought it looked really shor, well I went to the store and went ahead and tried it on and it is great!!! It fits wonderfully and is so cute, I only wear shirts that cover my stomach and this one does and is fabulous!!! April 1, 2013
Night out This top speaks for itself. It fits well, I feel as though these types of tops can be hit or miss sometimes but this one definitely rocks! Hugs you in all the right places and can be dressed up or dressed down. I wore this for my birthday celebration and received many compliments on it. The colors are beautiful , I purchased the blue one. Also, must be washed with care as the detail on the back is delicate. March 22, 2013
Flattering Ordered online and was unsure if I was going to keep this shirt! However, I LOVE it! Very flattering. Love the foil running through the print and the crochet back is sexy! I ordered the River Blue and it does NOT have a 'sprinkle of rhinestones'. It is silver foil running through the pattern and it is VERY pretty. Nice length; pretty colors. Little pricey, so it had better hold up to washings! Will machine wash inside out and hang dry so should be fine. Didn't think I was going to like the sleeves, but overall, once again,I find the top flattering and it is a keeper! March 16, 2013

Internet Predator of Children Arrested

San Fernando Valley - On September 29, 2000, detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Juvenile Division were contacted by a distraught San Fernando Valley mother who related that her 13-year-old son had been in a chat room with a man that she did not know. After reviewing her son’s Internet communications, the mother discovered that an adult male had expressed his love for her son, sent him sexually explicit photographs and provided his telephone number. The Internet predator wanted her son to leave home and be with him. The angry mother contacted the predator and told him to leave her son alone. However, the predator continued to send e-mail and Instant Messages to her son.

Detectives from the Sexually Exploited Child Unit (SECU) investigated the case and assumed the Internet identity and persona of the child. During the weeks that followed, the suspect regularly communicated with the detective’s persona, professing his love for him and sending sexually explicit messages, images, and expressed a desire to meet and engage in sexual acts with someone he thought was 13 years old. The suspect was identified as 19-year-old Aldo Jimenez.

On January 2, 2001, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Peggy Beckstrand filed two felony counts of attempted lewd acts with a child under 14, and sending harmful matter with the intent to seduce a minor. Upon conviction of each count, Jimenez faces a state prison sentence and a lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender.

On January 5, 2001, SECU investigators, with the assistance of officers from the Glendale Police Department, arrested Jimenez at his Glendale residence. Jimenez was booked at Parker Center on the $50,000 warrant. He will be arraigned in Van Nuys this afternoon.

For further information, contact Detective Dale Barraclough, Sexually Exploited Child Unit at 213-485-2883.

Well, I made it. Wasn’t sure how it would go down considering my serious lack of sleep. So glad I made the decision to stay up even later than it already was and iron the pants that no one saw. (Shhh. Don’t tell my parents. They wouldn’t be pleased at the hour I finally turned out the lights. Isn’t it the case that no matter what age we are, we never stop being somebody’s child and we always know what they’re thinking?)

Before I go on air, I, of course, have thought up all of these wonderfully witty and informative comments to make but when I’m actually in the middle of the whole thing….I forget them all. So, one thing I meant to say is that for an even quicker version of these fish tacos, you could make them with the beer battered cod or halibut you find in your freezer section. My sweetie tends to lean more toward the beer battered guys while I, myself, am a “grilled fish” girl. Either way, make a batch up, get yourself a couple of “cold ones” with a slice of lime, turn up the mojito music and welcome in summer!

PS: In case you’d like the link to the recipe, here it is…link.

Blues festival draws a crowd to King Stadium

-A A +A
By Lee Einer

“You can’t sit still for the blues.” Mary Oishi, KUNM disc jockey, chided those sitting in the crowd for not getting to their feet and dancing to the live music at Casa de Cultura’s first “Ain’t Got no Frijoles Blues Festival.”

Sunday’s event, which drew roughly 200 people, was conceived by Casa de Cultura’s director, Miguel Angel, both as a way to bring people together through culture and introduce them to the wonders of King Stadium.

Philip Seymour Hoffman dead: Actor leaves behind multiple films

When Philip Seymour Hoffman died Sunday, he left behind not just a rich body of work but a number of recently completed or in-progress productions, including the final two "Hunger Games" films.

The prospects for that latter franchise has proved to be one of the big questions about the late actor's posthumous screen appearances; while Hoffman had completed shooting the first of those films, "Mockingjay: Part 1," the second film still had shooting days remaining for Hoffman.

The actor played chief Gamesmaker Plutarch Heavensbee in the smash YA hit, appearing in the recent blockbuster "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" as a man with complicated loyalties who stages the titular competition. It was unclear on Sunday how the production might work around the days of unshot pages for Hoffman's character.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Hoffman just weeks before his death

The 46-year-old actor was also set to appear in a Showtime comedy series called "Happyish," which the network had recently picked up for a 10-episode order. The pilot had been filmed and the series was in the process of being written; Showtime has not yet made a determination on how the show might proceed without Hoffman.

The actor was also developing a long-gestating passion project called "Ezekiel Moss" that he was set to direct, based on a Black List script and containing supernatural overtones. The recent addition of Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal to the cast had given its backers hope they could attract sales and financing at the upcoming Berlin Film Festival, but a regrouping is now in order, those backers, Exclusive Media, said on Sunday.

Hoffman also starred in a pair of new films that were screened at Sundance: the John le Carre adaptation "A Most Wanted Man," directed by Anton Corbijn, and "God's Pocket," a small-town absurdist dramedy directed by "Mad Men" star John Slattery. Both those movies are scheduled for release this year — by Lionsgate and IFC respectively — and they showed different aspects of the actor's skills, from his role as a German intelligence agent in "Wanted" to a part as a morose mobster who gets in over his head in "Pocket."

At Sundance, Hoffman took the stage after the "Pocket" screening and described why he signed on to Slattery's film. Describing the indie film under Slattery's hand as a "passion train," he said of the experience that "you show up [to set] and you're exposed and vulnerable. And John let that happen."

'Pompeii': Predictable pastiche goes down in flames, reviews say

What do you get when you combine the sword-and-sandal battles of "Gladiator," the star-crossed love story of "Titanic" and the apocalyptic spectacle of, say, "2012"? The new movie "Pompeii" explores that very question, and according to film critics, the answer is either a cinematic guilty pleasure or, more likely, a fiery mess.

In one of the more positive reviews, Gary Goldstein writes in The Times, "'Pompeii' accomplishes its ambitious agenda to largely engrossing effect. Sure, it's not the brainiest of outings, but director Paul W.S. Anderson (the man behind four of the 'Resident Evil' films) keeps the action apace and the lava a-flowing with workmanlike energy and sufficient visual dazzle."

"Pompeii" stars "Game of Thrones'" Kit Harington as a Celtic gladiator in the doomed Roman city and Emily Browning as his noblewoman love interest, and Goldstein says they're "at best serviceable," while the dialogue is "frequently too basic." But the whole thing still "succeeds as escapist entertainment."

BEST MOVIES OF 2013: Turan | Sharkey | Olsen

USA Today's Claudia Puig is less impressed, calling "Pompeii" "a 'Titanic' wannabe with a romance between a rich girl and a poor boy set against a natural disaster. Besides 'Gladiator' and 'Titanic,' the film borrows from '300,' 'Troy,' 'Spartacus,' 'Clash of the Titans' and even 'The Princess Bride.' The result is a generic saga with a cast of forgettable one-dimensional characters."

She adds, "A movie that focused solely on lava showers would quickly grow tepid. But how did it take a team of writers to come up with a bland story cobbled together from previous historical epics?"

The New York Times' Miriam Bale says that Anderson "seems to be without visual focus." She adds, "Though the film's gorgeous color palette resembles burnished jewelry, there is a staleness and overfamiliarity to these early scenes. The film is not even enlivened by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Waves crash and cliffs collapse, but we know exactly how this ends." Bale sums the film up as "both GIF-ready and campy fun."

PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of movies and TV

NPR's Ian Buckwalter, meanwhile, writes that "Anderson seems to want us to see his film and its hackneyed romance — basically 'Titanic' with swords and sandals — as a serious-minded historical epic. If there were a hint of a sense of play or humor in the filmmaking, beyond a briefly amusing moment of comeuppance for a foppish slaveowner, 'Pompeii' might be a fun February diversion instead of a dull, eye-rolling slog."

Buckwalter also finds the film unintentionally funny, quipping, "The only person in the entire cast who seems remotely aware of the ridiculousness of the whole thing is [Kiefer] Sutherland, who chews scenery like a starving man handed a turkey leg. He certainly had more laughs making it than anyone will watching it; if only he'd let the rest of the cast and crew in on the joke."

The Wrap's Alonso Duralde likewise commends Sutherland's antics, though not much else. He writes, "there aren't enough sacrifice-able virgins in the world to make 'Pompeii' an appeasing offering to the disaster-movie gods. This team-up between the director of 'AVP: Alien vs. Predator' (Paul W.S. Anderson) and the star of 'Sucker Punch' (Emily Browning) is as awful as you feared it might be, although there's at least some camp value in watching Kiefer Sutherland froth at the mouth as a very Billy Zane–like Roman bigwig."

Finally, the San Francisco Chronicle's Mick LaSalle grouses that "Pompeii" lacks compelling characters, and as a result, "you start to root for Mount Vesuvius. In fact, compared to the audience, Vesuvius begins to seem really patient."

That said, "if you want to see disaster effects, 'Pompeii' is the ultimate in one-stop shopping, a combination of the floods in 'The Impossible,' the earthquakes in '2012' and the fireballs of just about every action movie made since 1985. Plus, there are volcanic eruptions, not to mention volcanic ash raining down onto the seats in front of you — or seeming to, in 3-D."

Does Antarctic sea ice growth negate climate change? Scientists say no

Scientists struggle to explain the growth of Antarctic sea ice, but say climate change is real
A warming world may paradoxically be contributing to the growth of Antarctic sea ice, experts say

In the blue half-light of the Antarctic autumn, a thin film spreads across the continent's coastal waters. It's an embryonic form of sea ice: a mush of microscopic crystals that floats on the dense, salty water of the Southern Ocean.

As winter takes root, this proto-sea ice grows thicker and stronger until it encircles Antarctica in a vast frozen ring. The ice spans nearly 7 million square miles at its peak, an area roughly twice the size of the United States.

This year, Antarctic sea ice has expanded its frigid reach with unprecedented speed, setting records in June and July. By the time spring punctures the long Antarctic night, 2014 stands a decent chance of topping 2012 and 2013, which each broke records of maximum total ice extent.

In fact, since scientists started making satellite observations in the late 1970s, they have watched winter sea ice around Antarctica swell slowly but indisputably, despite predictions that it should shrink.

This poses a puzzle that climate scientists struggle to explain: How can sea ice grow in a warming world?

Climate skeptics have pounced on this apparent discrepancy, citing it as proof that climate change isn't real, or at least that scientists don't completely understand it. But those who study Antarctic sea ice say their curious observations shouldn't shake anyone's confidence. Dramatic changes in temperature, sea level and extreme weather around the world are proof enough the planet is warming, they say; the only question is how these changes affect the Antarctic as they ripple through the climate system.

"Climate is a complicated thing," said Ted Maksym, an oceanographer at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts. "Understanding how these kinds of changes play out in different regions is tricky business."

The westerly winds blow fierce and constant around Antarctica, isolating the continent in a kind of permanent polar vortex. Scientists think they exert the most direct control over the state of Antarctic sea ice.

Ice requires cold temperatures to form, and winds help it grow by blowing it around the polar ocean. When the ice moves, new water is exposed to the chilly air, creating an opportunity to make more ice.

In the landlocked Arctic, winter sea ice gets hemmed in by Russia, Greenland, Canada and Alaska, said Thorsten Markus, head of cryospheric sciences at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. But in the Antarctic, unflagging winds push ice ever farther into the empty Southern Ocean.

Those winds have intensified in recent years because of increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the presence of the ozone hole. Both serve to magnify the differences in temperature and atmospheric pressure between Antarctica and the tropics, which speed up winds and cause them to swirl faster and more tightly around the continent, said Sharon Stammerjohn, a leading sea ice researcher at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

But it's not quite as simple as more wind, more ice.

"It makes no sense to talk about a circumpolar average," Stammerjohn said. "There's so much regional variability."

The Ross Sea, which faces New Zealand, has seen a dramatic increase in peak ice extent and 80 more days of ice cover since 1979, when satellites began tracking changes. But along the Antarctic Peninsula, which stretches toward the tip of South America, the ice-covered season in the Bellingshausen Sea is three months shorter than it was 35 years ago.

The sum of both trends is a modest increase in overall sea ice extent. But local effects matter.

"Where we see the strongest decreases in sea ice, we are also seeing dramatic changes to the continental ice sheet," Stammerjohn said.

For instance, the withering ice cover in the Bellingshausen Sea has occurred adjacent to an imperiled area of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Scientists recently announced that it had reached a tipping point and appeared destined to melt no matter what humans did to stem emissions of greenhouse gases. That segment alone has the potential to raise global sea levels by 4 feet.

Scientists say sea ice and continental ice are probably responding to the same forces — namely, changes in ocean circulation and winds. However, they also influence each other. Sea ice helps buffer ice shelves, the floating tongues of glacial ice that dam the ice sheets and keep them from spilling irreversibly into the sea. It also keeps warm ocean waters trapped beneath a frozen lid, insulating the ice sheet from their destructive heat.

In the long run, however, scientists expect Antarctic sea ice to decline everywhere. That it hasn't done so yet suggests there's still much to learn about the region.

Antarctica's remote location and punishing environment make it very difficult to study.

"The instruments we put on the ice get crushed pretty easily," Stammerjohn said.

The dynamics of the Southern Ocean have also remained elusive. Scientists think changes in the winds have altered ocean circulation, allowing warmer waters below the surface layer to sneak in closer to the shore. These, in turn, may cause glaciers to melt, producing fresh water that freezes at a higher temperature than salt water and thus creates more sea ice. But without long-term observations, it's hard to measure this effect.

Changes in snowfall may play a role too. In the Antarctic, sea ice grows thicker when new snow falls on top of it, depressing it and flooding it with sea water, which eventually freezes. However, it's still unclear whether snowfall has increased in Antarctica, said Ron Kwok, a sea ice expert at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

It's even possible that the current growth spurt is just a short upward wiggle in a larger downward trend. "Thirty years isn't really that long," Stammerjohn said.

In January, scientists at New York University offered the most complete explanation yet for the surprising trends in Antarctic sea ice extent. Writing in the journal Nature, they suggested the sea ice distribution in the south could be controlled by ocean temperatures in the North Atlantic Ocean through large-scale changes in atmospheric pressure linked to global warming and natural variability. Other researchers like the idea but say verifying it will take more time.

With scientists a bit befuddled, it's no surprise the public has begun to wonder whether the Antarctic sea ice situation reveals a chink in the climate change story.

Skeptics say it undermines the significance of the much-publicized sea ice loss in the Arctic, where minimum summer sea ice extent has decreased by 30% since the late 1970s. And when a study released last month suggested that Antarctic sea ice growth may have been overstated because of a data calibration error, naysayers called it a brazen attempt by scientists to sweep an inconvenient fact under the rug.

But these critiques oversimplify the science of climate change, Maksym said.

Sea ice is a case in point, he said: "Ironically, one of the possible reasons to get more ice is warming."

BofA Merrill Surprises on Upside

Dec 24, 2009

At the end of an extremely challenging year for investment banks globally, there are two big surprises in LatAm. One is that the fee pool from core investment banking activities –M&A, DCM and ECM – has actually expanded slightly. The other is that Bank of America Merrill Lynch – which most of the street had written off as a regional player after its...

“The Office” — season eight details revealed

By | August 15, 2011 at 6:23 pm | 2 comments | News, TV/Movies | Tags: , , , ,

Though we still don’t know who will replace the void left by Steve Carell’s character Michael Scott on The Office, today we got the most in-depth look at what’s to come in season eight. Entertainment Weekly scored the exclusive, with quotes from James Spader (who plays Robert California, CEO of Dunder Mifflin) which we’ll highlight below. Check it out:

— If Michael Scott is replaced at all, it’s not going to be someone already on The Office cast. “They didn’t just want to bring in a new Michael Scott. There’s not an attempt to fill those shoes,” Spader tells EW.

— The debut episode (Sept. 22 at 9 pm EST) is called “The List,” and centers around Spader’s character accidentally leaving a note behind in the office; on it is a line down the middle and every Scranton office staffer’s name on either side of said line. The mystery begins.

— Spader will appear in 15 episodes.

— Spoilers: Season eight storylines will include the birth of Jim and Pam’s second child, the Dunder Mifflin warehouse workers winning the Lottery, Dwight building a productivity machine and California challenging the office manager to double sales.

You’ll no doubt remember that Spader was a guest star on last season’s finale. The Emmy winner was received so well that he started negotiations to join The Office full-time shortly after the finale. And despite the few details we were afforded today about the the new season and especially Spader’s character, there’s still a boatload to look forward to. So tell us, will you be tuning in to the premiere on Sept. 22? And what about season eight of The Office are you most excited about? Let us know!

    Why can’t there be a ‘finite’ to shows anymore? It seems like every program on tv has to have +5 seasons. The Office is basically a sitcom now, a ratings chaser – at least to me. The writers are obviously burnt out on ideas, why not just end the story? Like, “and Michael Scott lived a pretty mediocre life.” We never do that anymore! Actually planning a show with beginning and an end! Now it seems the reason why shows “end” is because it’s doing bad in the ratings or it’s exhausted and the story just has nowhere to go. Steve Carell left… just put the show down…

  • Anonymous

    I definitely am excited about the new direction of The Office. Things had been getting just a little stale the last two seasons; by bringing in a character like Robert California who is so different than Michael Scott it allows all of the characters to change and grow. Spader is such an interesting actor that I am really looking forward to seeing what he does with this character and how the writers handle the new environment. The show has such a strong regular cast that all it really needs is a new interesting direction. I might be wrong, but this move could reenergize an 8 year old show.

Rapper Wax Loses Def Jam Deal, Regains His Mojo

Rapper Wax Loses Def Jam Deal, Regains His Mojo
Danielle Bacher

See also: Rapper Wax on 'Rosana' and Little Mamacitas Who Don't Play

Recently L.A. rapper Wax told us about his Internet-generated fame, the raunchy hit video for "Rosana," and being signed to Def Jam. But even more recently he had surprising news: he's parted ways with the label, after being on it for about a year year. (His widely-watched YouTube video announcement is below.)

In our conversation this time around he is unexpectedly upbeat. "I don't care about fame and money as much as I care about making cool music," he claims. Our interview is below.

What happened with Def Jam?

I'd been signed to them for a while, and I've been working on songs. They really wanted me to make a radio single. You know, I gave them songs I thought were singles, but the last batch of songs, they didn't believe in. So they dropped me.

Was it a shock to you when you were dropped from the label?

No. I was happy. I was hoping that it would happen, actually.

Why didn't the label think "Rosana" was a hit, even with all the YouTube views and radio play?

The day after I put the "Rosana" video out, I signed the paper that I was no longer with them. I don't know why they didn't believe in it.

The video was released in July. Were you dropped from the record label when I interviewed you last?

Well, in a sense, I was lying to you last time. We hadn't released the info yet.

Why did it take you so long to break the news?

I was making sure what I could and couldn't say. I was actually thinking you would be the person to break it, but then I thought the best way to do it was to sit in front of a camera and tell the fucking truth to my fans. Did you think you were the jinx? [Laughs].

I was hoping that I wasn't. How have your fans reacted?

They've been positive. They just want me to put out more shit. A lot of my fans never thought this shit was right for me anyway. They never thought I should have been on a major label.

Did the reps at the label work with you to try to make a hit single?

They were putting me in with songwriters that were known to make hits. The songs I was making with these people was stuff they would write for some 16-year-old pop star kid. Most of the things they wanted me to do were gay. I just wasn't into it.

So they wanted you to change your style significantly?

They wanted stuff that sounded more like the music on the radio, but everyone wanted something different. Even they don't know what they want. People meet you and you bring them one of two songs, and they think they know who you are. This one time, this dude was in the studio, and I was in the recording booth. I was going to layer a harmony over this thing that I sang. And he was like, "No, Wax doesn't sing harmonies." That was the first day that I met him.

Did you tell him off?

In my head I thought, "I give up." That's how that session went. I didn't get anything out of it.

Rapper Wax Loses Def Jam Deal, Regains His Mojo
Danielle Bacher

You said your new album is going to be released around Halloween. Are you going to use many songs from the Def Jam project, or are you going to make an entirely new album?

I'm definitely using songs from that, and some new ones, too. It's mostly shit I did with them.

Are you going to release the album under another label? Do you have interest in signing with someone else?

I'm putting it out myself. With the Internet, it's really easy. If I put out this album and a label comes on and said, "Yo, we want to blow this album up because we like it," I would consider it. It's not the corporate environment that I have a problem with. I don't give a shit about that. If they try to change what I do, I'm not down with that.

Is the album still untitled?

I think I finalized the title today. I'm going to call it Continued.

What does that mean to you?

It means that, in life, you always have two options: you can either kill yourself, or you can continue. You go through stuff. You lose a girl or you lose a record deal. You might feel bad for a little while. But, you just keep going. You have no choice but to be persistent. You might think getting a record deal is the pinnacle, but it's not.

What do you think is wrong with the music industry today?

When was the last time you paid for an album? It's getting harder and harder to make money. You don't need a major label if you're not Rihanna or Lady Gaga. You can get the word out yourself. The labels really need you to be a huge pop success, and they just follow the formula from the last hit. Everyone is operating off fear. Fear of being fired because something failed. So they go the safe route. They tried a song of mine, and it didn't work. So, it's not totally their fault. It's my fault, too.

Which song didn't work?

They put "Two Wheels" on the radio, and it didn't pick up. I'm not blaming them for that. That song had its problems. It was one of my most popular songs with the fans, but it didn't take off.

You claimed you were really unhappy in your video that you posted. Did you start drinking and doing drugs again?

Honestly, I wouldn't say my level of drinking is any different. It might have been that my reason for drinking was much darker. I just didn't give a shit anymore. I couldn't wait to get out of the studio to drink and not think about that shit. I don't think I knew at the time that was why I was depressed, but now I know for a fact it was that because I'm not anymore. [Looks over to another table]. I like that dude's pants. Is that gay?

O.P. Jindal Global University National Capital Region, India

Cornell Law School can send up to three students to the Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) each academic year, for one semester.  Placements may be made in either the fall or spring semesters. However, spring placements are available for 2Ls only. The JGSL is a new law school in India, admitting its first class in 2009.  It was created to be a very different sort of institution that had existed there previously: The vision in establishing JGU and JGLS is to impart globalized education with aview to producing world-class professionals, scholars, and academics in law and other disciplines. Globalization has opened various opportunities and challenges which have created the need for competent academics, scholars and professionals. The vision of JGU and JGLS is to fulfill this need by equipping their students and faculty with the knowledge, skills, scholarship and vision to meet these challenges and demands of globalization. India, which is on the verge of becoming an economic superpower must produce world-class professionals, scholars, and academics to compete globally. History indicates that excellence in education leads to economic growth and development. The Founders of JGU and JGLS, having realized this, have come up with the mission to establish this global institution in India, which will be comparable to the best in the world.

Language of Instruction:

JGLS has built a new campus about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of New Delhi.

Academic Calendar:
Semester A ("Fall" semester):  Early-August—Mid-December
Semester B ("Spring" semester):  Early-January—Early-May

Courses and Credits:

We are in the process of determining which courses will be available to Cornell students and how many courses must be taken to earn 12 Cornell semester credits.

Further Information:

Interested students should consult the Jindal Global Law School website for more details.

The Rabalais Law Firm explained how a revocable living trust can be set up in Louisiana, and why it is completely different that those in the other states. Louisiana is one screwed up law state that does not conform to any other state in the country. The trust and pour over wills are necessary here to keep the succession process as simple and inexpensive as possible and allowing piece of mind that the legal bills of succession and the time it takes to complete it are at a minimum.

Dave Grear shows off his artistic bowl designs at the Las Cruces Farmers and Crafts Market.
LAS CRUCES — Dave Grear creates beautifully crafted accessories for many of the necessities of life — and beyond.

Regional judges call courts to order with his elegant wooden gavels. Gourmet cooks and arts aficionados find pleasure and utility in his gracefully turned bowls.

If you're out for a hike you might find something to put a little extra spring in your step, artfully concealed in Grear's canes, some of which contain hidden flasks.

And once your spirit has transcended this mortal coil, your loved ones can remember you with style — and one of Grear's inventive urns, which range from boxes inlaid with exotic woods to a pair of urn bookends to memorialize a dearly departed book lover.

"The urns and the bowls are my most popular items," said Grear, who took up woodworking about 12 years ago and now offers his eclectic wares Saturdays at the Las Cruces Farmers and Crafts Market.

Perusing his displays will take some time. On a recent Saturday, his offerings included wooden belt buckles, pill containers, cake stands, bread saws, letter openers, LED flashlights, candle holders, lamps, mirrors, clocks, shoe horns, coasters, pepper and spice grinders, lighters, wine racks, wine bottle stoppers — topped with everything from wood turned fragments to antlers and pinecones — and even a carton of wooden eggs.

Some of the items generate public queries.

"That's a tire thumper.

Truckers like them," he said, indicating a metal cylinder with a beautifully turned wooden handle. His artistic ingenuity blossomed after his retirement.

"I'd been a telephone man all my life. Then I bought a lathe and took some classes," said Grear, a native of western New York, who discovered New Mexico during a trip with his wife Janice.

"She's my quality control. Everything has to pass her inspection before it hits the table," he said.

"We were traveling with an RV in 1986 and got to Las Cruces and decided this is a nice place. This is beautiful country and we like the weather. About 20 years ago, we bought a lot and decided to move here."

Many of his diverse creations are inspired by friends, relatives and customers.

"People ask, 'Why don't you try this,' so I do," said Grear, who is also open-minded when it comes to kinds of wood used in his creations.

"I use a lot of oak, Afghan pine, cherry, all kinds of things. A lot of people stop and offer me wood," said Grear, who enjoys combining varied woods in laminated designs and with unique objects.

One of his pepper grinders features a vintage crank. A lamp combines wood with vintage mechanical embellishments. And an occasional creation showcases his sense of humor.

His "Hillbilly bottle opener" features a bent nail on a rustic stick.

Grear doesn't see himself running out of ideas for new items, or enthusiasm for his craft, anytime soon.

"I love the smell of sawdust," he said.

Warm feeling all the time

Another Successful Mingles Match!! We may not have ever met without the help of LDSMingles. We all seem to want someone to cuddle with by a warm fire. But how nice it has been to find that same warm feeling all the time ---
-As we share conversation and can be open and honest without judgments
-As we pray together and discuss the gospel and our testimonies
-As we love and support each other during busy and stressful times, and as we integrate our lives and our extended families
-As we laugh and play together and share our sometimes silly sense of humor

We married on Dec 30, 2004 and have finally found the love and peace for which we have been searching for so long.

PS He certainly does treat me like a lady!

FM takes initiatives to help students succeed

April 11, 2014
By DUSTIN SWANGER , The Leader Herald

As I write this article, I am at the American Association of Community Colleges conference. A significant topic at the conference is the "completion agenda." This agenda was announced by President Obama during his first administration; it challenged community colleges to double their graduation rates by 2020. Since that announcement, we have all been working hard on getting students to complete a certificate or degree program. Nonetheless, it is highly unlikely that we will meet this goal.

Old friends, rediscovered

SIERRA LEONE: A quarter century later, Betsy Small returns with her daughter and a friend to a village transformed by war and maintained by an unbreakable spirit

When I completed my Peace Corps assignment in Sierra Leone, West Africa, over 25 years ago, a war there was unimaginable. The country I’d grown to love was peace-loving, welcomed strangers, and was proud of its culture.

I left Sierra Leone at the age of 26, promising the people in the village where I lived that I would not forget them. I told them they could count on me to return, and to continue to help them in any way I could.

Finally, this November, the time of the rice harvest in Sierra Leone, I had my chance. I booked a flight to Freetown, the capital city, for my daughter Lilly, a sophomore at Dublin School, and Lisa Freeman, my son’s former kindergarten teacher at the Pine Hill Waldorf School, someone I deeply admire.

The war-torn path

Tokpombu, Gorama (“Under the palm trees in the virgin forest”) is located in the country's Eastern province — the region of Sierra Leone hit hardest during the country's 11-year diamond war, which began in 1991, three years after I left. A village of almost 400 subsistence rice farmers, Tokpombu exists along a red dirt road between diamond miners and diamond buyers. It was of strategic importance during the conflict, and rebel soldiers set fire to the village on three separate occasions. Many innocent people died in horrific and unthinkable ways.

The war has been over for as long as it lasted, but visible signs of terrible events still intrude on this country’s otherwise lush and flourishing tropical landscape. Traffic through the capital city of Freetown was slow going, in part because of a population increase of over 300 percent — people displaced by the war who’ve grown accustomed to eking out a living in the city rather than farming on their ancestral lands. After about three hours of driving on a newly paved road, compliments of China, the pavement abruptly stopped. And the once difficult journey on gravel roads was now even more arduous, rife not with the expected rainy season grooves and potholes, but with craters the size of hot-tubs –reminders of 11 years of grenades and rocket launchers.

In nearly every town and village we passed along our route, abandoned buildings and charred remnants stood side by side with newer mud brick and sometimes cement construction. People here have no access to back-hoes or heavy machinery of any sort, so removing the rubble, even a decade later, isn't even a possibility.

Following the drum beats

On the fourth morning of our stay in the country, we rolled down the final 12-mile stretch of rugged terrain, where I’d ridden fearless and alone on my Suzuki dirt bike countless times. Now, inside a four wheel drive Toyota with my daughter and friend beside me, I became acutely aware of the passage of time. As we pulled into Tokpombu, I saw that my former Peace Corps house was still a gathering site for children, but only its concrete foundation and the metal railing of the front porch remained.

Emerging from the car, we were met by a jubilant crowd who danced us along the main road to drum beats and call and response singing that drew us toward the court barre — the town hall where more preparations had been made to welcome us.

At one point, the leader of the women paused, grabbing a drum stick from one of the young men. With one hand on his shoulder and another on the drum she infused him with the proper rhythm until he could manage it on his own. In that moment the full scope of Sierra Leone’s tragedy was undeniably clear. When I lived here, every young man grew up knowing how to beat a drum. But for a decade, the children lived on the run, hiding in caves in the forest to evade death or being captured and forced to take up a gun. Even if they made it safely over the border to neighboring Guinea, they were trapped in a refugee camp.

Ever since time began here, boys had been taught by their fathers how to beat a drum, not how to hold a gun. The drum is the common denominator here. A village knows itself by its drum beat — its heartbeat. These teenage boys had no idea of the legacy that had been lost: the rhythms of their own village.

A welcome home

The dancing and singing came to a final halt as Lilly, Lisa, and I were ushered onto the wooden benches of the rebuilt court barre — the original having been burned to the ground, like all the homes in this village. I’d sat in the original open-air structure many times during my two years here: for village meetings, celebrations, funerals, traditional court. Now I watched the adult faces of the children who once drew crayon pictures in my parlor. In their gestures I found echoes of their parents, many of whom did not survive this war — the men and women with whom I had plowed, planted rice, and built tilapia fish ponds more than two decades ago. These surviving grown children are now the leaders of their village.

When it was our turn to speak, Lilly, Lisa and I presented the customary kola (a caffeinated nut with a waxy membrane) to the few remaining elders. Through a translator holding a megaphone, I spoke in Krio, “Di won way e gee Kola, nain day gee lef.” (“He who gives kola gives life.”) Krio is the lingua franca of Sierra Leone — a combination of Portuguese, Yoruba from Nigeria and English that linguistically unites over 13 ethnic groups who live in this former British colony.

The leader of the elders responded by thanking me for acknowledging their tradition. He said it meant more than anything material I could have brought them. “Thank you for bringing your daughter to meet us, Sia Tokpombu (the name they called me back then), thank you for bringing a teacher to meet us.”

The welcome ceremony continued for many hours. A Muslim and a Christian prayer were recited to honor both religions. (Though Sierra Leone once ranked as one of the worst places on earth to be a child, it’s also been recently cited by the United Nations as a leader in religious tolerance.) People told stories about the time I lived there — the Beatles songs that played on a recorder whose broken “play key” I kept locked down with a clothes pin. For many, I was now Auntie “Besty” returning.

When Lilly was asked to speak, she shared how she'd grown up hearing about the Peace Corps, about the place her mother lived in Africa.

She'd heard me speak Krio, “But now,” Lilly told them, “Krio seems real, and you are real and I understand from only a few days in your country how special all of you are and why my mother loves you so much. And so, I love you too.”

Everyone applauded and then stood up. Some of them stepped forward to hug my daughter.

Next on the program were songs from a group of 65 patiently waiting pre-schoolers.“Preschool” is a new concept in Sierra Leone.

The next generation

Twenty-five years ago, the elders of this village sat on their porches telling stories to children, teaching them songs and rhythms of daily life, while their parents went off to farm and their older siblings walked the mile down the road to primary school. But now, there are no surviving elders to provide this care. So, the village made a decision to convert the vacant church into a school for young children.

Five of the children were called upon to sing out their names for us along with their parents’ names, how old they are and where they live now — “In Tokpombu Gorama Chiefdom.” The fundamental human right to safely state out loud who you are and where you come from never felt more important.

At the close of this meeting, the women presented me with a traditional striped country cloth gown, a “coat of many colors,” handwoven by them to welcome me home. They said this day would become history for their children.

The next day, Lisa taught the children some of the same games she teaches her kindergarten class. Lilly helped usher children under a bridge, and Lisa made a hopscotch board. We threshed rice off its stalk with our bare feet, winnowed and pounded in a mata oda, a large hollowed out tree trunk and pestle. Later we remarked that our faces hurt, not from crying, but from smiling.

On our final day in the village, we visited the waterside where I used to bathe and tote water on my head back to my house. The path leading there, once well worn, is overgrown. But there is a good reason for this. The village now has two spigots with running water, along with a clinic funded by the United Methodist Church. Running water and a fully functioning clinic were inconceivable 25 years ago.

This, of course, means that for the first time, children are being vaccinated and taught about hand washing and the use of mosquito nets. Education on water sanitation is also taking place. For the first time ever, people know that the choices they make every day can help to prevent typhoid, malaria, shistosomiasis, cholera, and even HIV.

Sierra Leone’s infant mortality rate in this chiefdom was over 38 percent as recently as five years ago. But last year, there were only three instances of infant deaths, a remarkable accomplishment in this part of the world.

The gift of the past

One of our last acts was to distribute the gifts we’d brought from home. We unpacked duffles with sets of bedsheets, headlamps with replacement batteries, children’s clothes (organized by Christine Mendez, a parent in Lisa’s Meadowlark Kindergarten class), and an assortment of soccer balls (donated by my Peace Corps predecessor Raymond Wirth, the first American to live in Tokpombu Gorama). The remaining supplies, books and other school materials were being safely kept in a warehouse for them in Freetown to be delivered after the holiday season.

I also presented the village with two bound volumes of photographs I had taken between 1984 and 1987. Inside the front cover I had inscribed, “Thank you Tokpombu Gorama for making your home my home when I lived here... I did not forget.” I asked the Town Chief, Patrick Lahai, whose father, also the town chief, was the first person to welcome me to this village, and Ma Sando, the woman who cooked for me and became my best friend, to be the caretakers of this record of their lives before the war.

One man who stood beside his younger brother as they looked at the photo album suddenly gasped and pointed at a picture, saying, “Dis nar wi daddy!" This is our father. You couldn't mistake the resemblance between the father and the younger son who before today had no way to tell what his father looked like.

Comforting reminders

Driving back to Freetown in our rented vehicle, the parting gifts we’d received stashed beside our empty satchels in the trunk, a chicken my daughter named Harriet, and bag of freshly harvested rice, two papayas and a bunch of bananas, the driver played a CD by local pop artists — upbeat tunes about unrequited love, life as a diamond miner, how forgiveness is the only way forward.

As we headed toward Freetown, green fields of swamp rice seemed not only to be bending from the weight of its seed, but also reaching, like the people here, like people do everywhere... like I do. I thought about the man I’d met at the beach on our first day here — Sahr Pessima. In one moment, he was a strange face in the crowd selling cigarettes, (not by the box but the stick). In the next, he was my old friend who lived on one side of the church in Tokpombu while I lived on the other. In those first moments, I suspended belief that in country of six million, a man from village of 400, where I also lived, could be standing with his feet in the sand in front me, 25 years later. But he knew my face and I knew the sound of his voice.

Lisa commented that more than anything else, this trip reminded her of “how much we all need one another’s help in the world, down to the smallest thing, whether it’s an elderly neighbor or school that needs curtains for the windows. People seem happy here because of human kindness. It’s everywhere here...”

It’s nearly a miracle to be able to say this in a war-torn country still plagued by corruption, social injustice, and the psychological and physical scars of war. The massive population of amputees and polio victims, a generation of former child soldiers, untold numbers of orphaned children, and an acute sense of widespread geographic dislocation seem at times insurmountable.

Still, families are rebuilding their lives in Sierra Leone — maybe more from the inside, than the outside — it’s the parts you can’t always see that matter the most.

If you would like to help the village of Tokpmbu repair its war damaged buildings, including its “court barre,” you can mail a tax deductible donation to: Africa Yes, a 501 C-3 organization to: 2308 Sprunt Avenue, Durham, NC 27705 or email Betsy at:” with Africa Yes on the subject line.

Betsy Small Campbell served as Executive Director of War Child USA, formerly based in Peterborough NH. She is an active member of Writing from your Inner Voice Workshops led by Kate Gleason. She’s currently working on, “Bifaw Bifaw” a collection of stories about her time in Sierra Leone.

Hi 81° | Lo 62°

Please reconsider recycling policy

To the editor:

Peterborough Public Works Director Rodney Bartlett’s recent directive prohibiting employees of the Peterborough Recycling Center from acting on requests by residents to salvage and set aside particular items was undoubtedly well-intentioned. However, the consequences of the directive seem to us to be similar to throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Surely the “unfortunate incident” — according to the Recycling Center’s manager, Scott Bradford — could have been settled by measures specific to that incident, rather than by totally prohibiting Recycling Center employees from helping Peterborough residents obtain items discarded by other Peterborough residents.

The long-standing practice of assisting residents by setting aside requested items served several purposes. First, it permitted the items to be reused, thus saving the energy and environmental costs of disposing of the old items and manufacturing new ones. Second, every item found by Recycling Center employees and given to residents was an item that didn’t have to be hauled away at taxpayers’ expense. Third, the interactions between Recycling Center employees and residents contributed to Peterborough’s sense of community. According to the Aug. 12 Monadnock Ledger-Transcript, Mr. Bartlett feels that Recycling Center employees should be spending their full time managing the facility, not finding stuff for residents. For the reasons stated in the previous paragraph, we feel that setting aside potentially useful items at residents’ requests should be an integral part of the normal duties of Recycling Center employees.

Bartlett pointed out that his directive doesn’t prevent residents from looking for stuff they could use, but he failed to consider that having residents wandering all over the Recycling Center looking for stuff they could use would be both inefficient and unsafe. We hope that Mr. Bartlett will reconsider his directive and get rid only of the bathwater, not the baby as well.

June 11, 1972

Baltimore, MD US

Civic Center (Baltimore)

Immigrant Song, Heartbreaker, Black Dog, Since I've Been Loving You, Stairway to Heaven, Going to California, That's the Way, Tangerine, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Dazed and Confused, What Is and What Should Never Be, Moby Dick, Whole Lotta Love (medley incl. Let That Boy Boogie, I Need Your Love Tonight, Hello Mary Lou, Heartbreak Hotel, I'm Going Down, Going Down Slow), Rock and Roll, Communication Breakdown.

Press Review: "Led Zeppelin Shows Distinctive Style"

Led Zeppelin, playing to a capacity crowd of nearly 13,000 at the Civic Center Sunday night, amply demonstrated how it became the number one British rock band after the death of the Beatles as a group.

Led Zeppelin has been known primarily for heavy electronic rock. One of the most pleasant parts of the concert Sunday night was an acoustic interlude with drummer John Bonham laying out and Page, Plant and Jones (playing mandolin) seated before microphones at the front of the stage. They did several songs, including Going to California and Tangerine, the highlight of which was the tight interplay between the mandolin and guitar.

After this demonstration of their versatility the group settled into their more familiar material – Dazed and Confused and Whole Lotta Love.

These tunes – very loud, tough and driving rock and roll – are what made Led Zeppelin’s name. Plant’s amazingly mobile voice, as variable an instrument as Page’s guitar and capable of almost as many special effects, is used to its greatest effect here – uncannily echoing the guitar phrases of turning up in the ensemble sound in unexpected but usually correct places. On the strength of this interweaving effect of voice and guitar, Page and Plant probably could get by as a duo.

For his part, Page has curbed his zeal for excessively long solos – although he uncorked one on Dazed and Confused, that was outstanding mainly for its length, in favor of more pungent statements. He also has given up fretting with the mike stand, an early device and now bows the guitar strings, brandishing the bow high in the air after sawing away at the strings to conduct the after-notes  echoing through the speakers. Page and Led Zeppelin have both come a long way since their first appearance in this area at the Laurel Pop Festival in 1969. (Balt. Sun, June 1972)

Concert description

An excellent show with excellent sound! The band is on and plays truly excellent music. While Immigrant Song has lyrics repeated twice at some point the rest of the show is on top form. Friends is only short vocal rehearsal and it is followed by short and unknown medley. Plant making some reference to Elvis Presley while he's introducing an aocoustic set: "We went to see Elvis Presley. That guy did so much for music - long time ago, mind you! His voice has gone down about two or three tones and seemed to have changed a bit and his waist is a bit bigger." Dazed And Confused is outstanding and the Whole Lotta Love medley is fast, furious, and lots of fun!! Robert's voice is just beautiful, especially in the great, intimate acoustic set, and overall, this concert rates as one of the best from the 1972 US Tour.

The Samsung Galaxy Note is also winning praise from consumers and the media across the globe.

The key to the Galaxy Note’s success can be said to be its 5.3” HD Super AMOLED screen as well its revolutionary S-Pen, which accurately recreates the analogue experience of using a real pen. The incorporated digital S Pen can be used for accurate sketching and artwork, and instantly capturing ideas freely before they float away. To add to the variety and richness of the Samsung Galaxy Note experience, Samsung Mobile also announced a ‘Premium Suite’ upgrade that will enhance and add to the features that accent many Samsung Galaxy Note exclusive features like the S Pen.
