Adieu Old Blog
After neglecting my old blog for so long, I've decide to just start a new one. It's been a little over 2 years since I first relocated to Abu Dhabi and it just feels weird and uninspiring to continue blogging in my old blog. I've started a new life here in Abu Dhabi and blogging about it in my old blog just doesn't feel quite right. It has been wonderful, but my old blog just reminds me of what I had left behind. This new blog is about the present and the future. May it be filled with many happy memories to come. I shall miss you old blog, but my new journey has begun.

Swedish progressive folk rockers Agusa are streaming their latest song “Bortom Hemom” via Obelisk.
The song comes off the forthcoming self-titled album, which is due out in late October via Laser’s Edge.
Agusa’s Mikael Ödesjö said of the song:
“‘Bortom Hemom’ translates roughly as ‘Beyond Homeward’ and consists of two sections joined together by a bridge. The first part is in 7/4 and the second in 3/4. Perhaps our most ‘progressive’ effort this far. Enjoy!”
Head on over to Obelisk to stream “Bortom Hemom.”Add to My Radar

Adapted from the Canadian independent film of the same name, writers Jean Cheever (Toxic Avenger, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, All Shook Up) and Tom Polum (Toxic Avenger, Finding Frida Kahlo, Cyrano The Musical) set the new musical Mambo Italiano in Hammonton, New Jersey, with its large Italian-American population. Along with lyricist Omri Schein and composer James Olmstead (the team behind the award-winning musical Gary Goldfarb, Master Escapist), Cheever and Polum bring to life the humor, warmth, and resilience of a multi-generational Italian-American family in a sprite working-class neighborhood.
Two grandparents, Maria, and Gino Barbieri, played by Joy Hermalyn and Bill Nolte, leave their small Italian town to come to New Jersey to raise their two grandchildren and open Famiglia Italiana, their humble restaurant that becomes the center of their economic survival and family life. Hermalyn and Nolte masterfully display their operatic talents. Hermalyn’s chiaroscuro is exquisite, and Nolte’s Italian pronunciation in song and dialogue poignantly portray the heart of an old-world Italian who strives in his new country. Throughout the production, they build chemistry and dynamism with each other – mostly by bickering — that recalls the deep and abiding love of a happily married, elderly couple.
Maria and Gino Barbieri are consistently foiled by their two grandchildren, played by Alexandra Frost and Alex Drost, who set out to lead their own lives – and make their own decisions about love, work, and marriage – apart from the comforts and confines of their grandparents’ home. Frost dazzles the audience with her elegant soprano and powerful belt, as she whips through the show’s hybrid score of songs reminiscent of classical arias and contemporary Broadway. Likewise, Drost endears himself to viewers with his precise musicality, charming tenor voice, and outstanding dance technique.
The Barbieri grandchildren are in turn foiled by the star-crossed couple Donna and Nino, played by Natalie Gallo and Zach Schanne. Donna and Nino unintentionally force Anna and Angelo Barbieri to examine some hard truths about their young lives, ultimately requiring the Barbieri grandparents to reassess their own cultural expectations about family harmony. Schanne alternately amuses and moves the audience with his flirty, comedic acting and boyish good looks, countered by touching moments of vulnerability. Gallo is a sparkling highlight of the show; in her number the “Lunetti Code” she grabs the audience with her vocal gusto, dark humor, and riveting jazz dance style.
The show’s supporting actors and ensemble were a cast of multi-generational actors who brought energy, sharp wit, and musical skills to the stage. Kudos to Adinah Alexander and Diana DiMarzo who used their vocal talents, dramatic timing, and wry humor to play a meddlesome neighbor and a terrible future mother-in-law, and who kept the audience laughing. Though there were moments when the show’s enthusiastic choreography could have been cleaner, the entire cast brought joy and thoughtfulness to the story with their excellent delivery of subtle humor and plays on words. Furthermore, their stellar blend and harmony in every musical number created a richness around the story of this Italian family that brought us to our feet at the end of the night. Mambo Italiano is a heart-warming production that, through the talents of the writers and players, exemplifies the determination and love that has been a hallmark of Italian-American families throughout the 20th century and still today. Bravo!!

“I like to do the research of history and the creativity of writing fiction. I am creating this thing which I think is twice as difficult as writing either history or fiction.” – Philippa Gregory
Born on this date in 1954, Gregory is the English historical novelist best known for her award-winning novels (and cinematic pieces) The Other Boleyn Girl and The White Queen. While she has a Ph.D. in 18th century literature and has written novels set in several different historical periods, her primary focus has been on the 16th century and the Tudors.
isn't highly regarded, but she likes writing it and has drawn a devoted following for her many works (over 70 so far). She also is a frequent contributor to magazines and newspapers with her short stories, features and reviews, and a regular on the BBC where she actually started her writing career after studying at a journalism school. But it is in historical fiction that she has immersed herself.
“I love reading and I love thinking,” she said. “The reason that I love my books so much is that in order to write them I have to read and to think for years at a time about the same period of time.”

"The only role New York played in this episode was a positive one: it was our executive director who blew the whistle and ordered the bridge reopened. To be clear, no such conversation between the governors happened, in fact no report of any kind was ever done, and whatever the admitted bridgegate architect through or dreamt about New York's involvement has no basis in fact. Anyone can say anything, especially a convicted felon spinning a tale, but it's just false and delusional."

Seventh Star Press Announces New Young Adult Steampunk Series with the Addition of J.L. Mulvihill to its Author Family
Seventh Star Press proudly announces the addition of J.L. Mulvihill to its author family with Steel Roots, an exciting new young adult steampunk series set in an alternate history with a dash of folklore. The first title, The Box Car Baby, is slated for release in the 2nd quarter of 2013, with new titles following at the beginning of 2014 and 2015. Readers can look forward to meeting a host of enthralling, distinctive characters within a richly-developed landscape woven by the imagination of J.L. Mulvihill.
(Steel Roots illustration by Rachael Ward)
The Box Car Baby introduces the character of AB’Gale Steel who was born in a boxcar on a train bound for Georgia, according to what her papa told her. Bishop Steel, a mechanical engineer for the Southern Railroad, found his adopted daughter snuggled in a basket of cotton on an otherwise empty boxcar in the train yard. When no one came around to claim the baby, Bishop Steel, rather than relinquish the child to the State only to end up at the Workhouse someday, smuggled her home to raise as his own. The name on the boxcar he found her in read, A B Gale Logs, and so he named the baby AB’Gale.
But if the mystery of who her real parents are isn’t enough for fifteen-year -old AB’Gale, Papa Bishop goes missing. Worried for her family and afraid of having to spend her life at the Workhouse, AB’Gale goes into town to see if anyone’s seen her papa, only to find a deeper mystery. At the train station no one seems to know who her papa is even though he’s worked for the Southern Railroad for thirty years.
An encounter with a strange Hobo-man, who claims to know her father, results in the acquisition of a leather eye-glass tube that he says belongs to her papa. Before AB’Gale can question him further the man runs away. When she gets home, she finds the Crushers taking her grandma off to the Oldies-home, so she hides until they are gone.
AB’Gale finds that the leather tube contains a map of the United States, with markers made by various towns across the country. By each marker is a word or a name written in her papa’s handwriting.
Alone, and with only the clues of the map to go by, AB’Gale has no choice but to set out on her own to find her papa.
“Seventh Star Press has a very vivacious group of people with an incredible amount of awesome novels and stories pouring out,” J.L. commented on her addition to Seventh Star Press. “I just thought that SSP might need a little more Teen-Steam, so I am very pleased they have asked me to come on board with my young adult steampunk series, Steel Roots.”
Born in Hollywood and raised in San Diego, CA, J.L. Mulvihill has made Mississippi her home for the past fifteen years. Her debut novel was the young adult title The Lost Daughter of Easa, an engaing fantasy novel bordering on science-fiction with a dash of steampunk (Kerlak Publishing). J.L. also has several short fiction pieces in publication, among them “Chilled Meat”, a steampunk thriller found in the Dreams of Steam II-Of Bolts and Brass, anthology (Kerlak Publishing) and “The Leprechaun’s Story“, a steampunk urban Fantasy found in the anthology, Clockwork, Spells, & Magical Bells (Kerlak Publishing)
J.L. is very active with the writing community, and is the events coordinator for the Mississippi Chapter of Imagicopter known as the Magnolia-Tower. She is also a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), Gulf Coast Writers Association (GCWA), The Mississippi Writers Guild (MWG), as well as the Arts Council of Clinton, and the Clinton Ink-Slingers Writing Group.
“J.L. Mulvihill is a perfect fit for our family of authors, editors, and artists,” fellow Seventh Star Press author Stephen Zimmer commented. “She is already well-loved on the convention circuit, and in addition to her great talent as a writer, she has a fantastic work ethic and approach to the realities of the publishing world today. We are all so excited to have her with us.”
The Steel Roots novels will be released in limited hardcover, softcover (trade paperback), and several eBook editions, including versions for Kindle, Nook, the iBookstore, and Sony-compatible devices. The books will also include interior illustrations, in addition to cover art from Seventh Star Press’ award-winning artists.

IN RE: D.F., T.K., AND E.K., MINORS,
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, PETITIONER-APPELLEE,
CHRISTOPHER FLEMING, RESPONDENT-APPELLANT.
Appeal from Circuit Court of McLean County No. 97JA90 Honorable James E. Souk, Judge Presiding.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Justice Steigmann
In December 1999, the State filed a petition to terminate the parental rights of respondent, Christopher Fleming, regarding his minor child, D.F. (born February 13, 1997). (The State also filed a motion to terminate the parental rights of respondent's wife, Nancy Fleming, as to D.F. and two of her children from a prior marriage, T.K. and E.K.) Following a May 2000 hearing on the State's petition, the trial court found respondent unfit. The court later determined that it would be in D.F.'s best interest to terminate respondent's parental rights.
Respondent appeals, arguing that (1) the trial court's finding of parental unfitness was against the manifest weight of the evidence, and (2) the court's decision to terminate his parental rights was not in D.F.'s best interest. We vacate and remand with directions.
In December 1997, the State filed a petition for the adjudication of wardship of D.F., T.K., and E.K. In paragraph 5(A) of its petition, the State alleged that the minors were neglected, pursuant to section 2-3(1)(a) of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, in that they were not receiving the proper or necessary support or remedial care necessary for their well-being (705 ILCS 405/2-3(1)(a) (West 1996)). Specifically, the State alleged the following:
"[T]he family residence was found by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services [(DCFS)] [i]nvestigator to be filthy. The floors were covered with cat feces, cat litter, and clutter to such a degree that the floors were impassible. The bedroom doors were unable to be opened because of the clutter stacked against the doors and wall, and old food was found along the walls in the kitchen area."
In paragraph 5(B), the State alleged that D.F. was living in an environment injurious to her welfare in that she had been diagnosed with "Non-organic Failure to Thrive Syndrome." 705 ILCS 405/2-3(1)(b) (West 1996).
In April 1998, respondent admitted and stipulated to the allegations in paragraph 5(A) of the State's petition for adjudication of wardship. The State dismissed the allegation contained in paragraph 5(B), and the trial court adjudicated D.F., T.K., and E.K. neglected.
The dispositional hearing on the trial court's adjudication of neglect took place on May 27, 1998, and August 12, 1998. After the May 1998 hearing, the court entered an order naming DCFS temporary custodian of all three of the minors. However, D.F. was not removed from respondent's home until after the hearing concluded in August 1998. At the close of that hearing, the court entered a dispositional order that adjudicated D.F. a ward of the court and appointed DCFS D.F.'s guardian with the power to place her. 705 ILCS 405/2-27(1) (West 1998).
In December 1999, the State filed a petition to terminate respondent's parental rights pursuant to section 1(D)(m) of the Adoption Act (Act) (750 ILCS 50/1(D)(m) (West 1998)). In its May 2000 amended petition, the State alleged that respondent was unfit because (1) he failed to make reasonable efforts to correct the conditions that were the basis for the removal of D.F. (750 ILCS 50/1(D)(m)(i) (West Supp. 1999)); (2) he failed to make reasonable progress toward the return of D.F. since the adjudication of neglect (750 ILCS 50/1(D)(m)(ii) (West Supp. 1999)); and (3) he failed to make reasonable progress toward D.F.'s return during any nine-month period after the end of the initial nine-month period following the adjudication of neglect (750 ILCS 50/1(D)(m)(iii) (West Supp. 1999)).
Following a May 2000 fitness hearing, the trial court found that the State had proved respondent unfit based on the first and third grounds alleged. The court conducted a dispositional hearing later that day and found that it was in D.F.'s best interest to terminate respondent's parental rights. This appeal followed.
A court can sever a natural parent's rights to his or her child only through proceedings that strictly comply with the Act. In re C.M., 305 Ill. App. 3d 154, 163, 711 N.E.2d 809, 815 (1999). Because the trial court here considered evidence of conduct that occurred outside of the statutorily prescribed time periods for each of the alleged grounds of unfitness, we vacate its order and remand for reconsideration of the evidence.
On January 1, 2000, an amended version of section 1(D)(m) of the Act went into effect. See Pub. Act 91-373, §5, eff. January 1, 2000 (1999 Ill. Laws 4971, 4973-74). Section 1(D)(m) of the Act, in pertinent part, now reads as follows:
"The grounds of unfitness are any *** of the following:
(m) Failure by a parent (i) to make reasonable efforts to correct the conditions that were the basis for the removal of the child from the parent, or (ii) to make reasonable progress toward the return of the child to the parent within [nine] months after an adjudication of neglected or abused minor ***, or (iii) to make reasonable progress toward the return of the child to the parent during any [nine]-month period after the end of the initial [nine]-month period following the adjudication of neglected or abused minor ***." 750 ILCS 50/1(D)(m) (West Supp. 1999).
Prior to the January 2000 amendment, the grounds for a finding of unfitness pursuant to section 1(D)(m) of the Act were defined, in pertinent part, as follows:
"Failure by a parent to make reasonable efforts to correct the conditions that were the basis for the removal of the child from the parent, or to make reasonable progress toward the return of the child to the parent within [nine] months after an adjuciation of neglected or abused minor ***." 750 ILCS 50/1(D)(m) (West 1998).
The supreme court addressed an earlier version of section 1(D)(m) of the Act in In re D.L., 191 Ill. 2d 1, 8, 727 N.E.2d 990, 993 (2000), in which the language of section 1(D)(m) was identical to the preamendment version quoted above, except that the relevant time period was 12 months rather than 9 (750 ILCS 50/1(D)(m) (West 1994)). In D.L., the court held that, pursuant to section 1(D)(m) of the Act, the only matters relevant to a reasonable progress or reasonable efforts analysis are those that occurred within the applicable statutory time period. D.L., 191 Ill. 2d at 10, 727 N.E.2d at 994. In In re D.S., 313 Ill. App. 3d 1020, 1027-28, 730 N.E.2d 637, 643-44 (2000), this court held that the relevant statutory period (in that case, nine months) commences with the trial court's dispositional order completing the adjudication of neglect and making the child a ward of the court. The dispositional hearing is the one at which the trial court typically becomes fully informed about all aspects of the lives of the parents and children before it and admonishes the parents that they must cooperate with DCFS, comply with the terms of the service plans, and correct the conditions that caused the court to place the child in custodial care. D.S., 313 Ill. App. 3d at 1028, 730 N.E.2d at 643. At the dispositional hearing, the court also typically warns the parents of the possible consequences of their failure to act as directed, that is, the termination of their parental rights.
Although the supreme court in D.L. did not do so explicitly, this court held that this decision effectively overruled this court's decision in In re K.B.J., 305 Ill. App. 3d 917, 922, 713 N.E.2d 253, 257 (1999), in which we concluded that the statutory time period only applied to the reasonable progress analysis, not to the reasonable efforts analysis. See In re E.B., 313 Ill. App. 3d 672, 674, 730 N.E.2d 617, 618 (2000). The phraseology and construction of the current version of section 1(D)(m) of the Act, however, strongly suggest that the legislature did not intend the nine-month limitation to apply to a reasonable efforts analysis. The current version sets forth three separate enumerated grounds, specifying a time period for the second and third but not the first. See 750 ILCS 50/1(D)(m) (West Supp. 1999).
In D.L., 191 Ill. 2d at 10-11, 727 N.E.2d at 994-95, the supreme court concluded that section 1(D) of the Act demonstrated that the legislature believed that, for purposes of establishing certain allegations of unfitness, evidence regarding a parent's conduct should be limited to a specified time period. However, given the most recent amendment to section 1(D)(m) of the Act, the application of the supreme court's decision to that section now appears to be in doubt regarding the "reasonable efforts" prong.
Although this amendment to section 1(D)(m) of the Act appears to redefine the outside limit of the relevant time period for a reasonable efforts analysis, we do not believe that it alters established precedent regarding the starting point of that analysis. Thus, the trial court in this case erred if, in conducting its reasonable efforts analysis, it considered evidence of events that occurred before the filing of the August 12, 1998, dispositional order completing the adjudication of neglect.
The record makes clear that the trial court considered evidence of events that occurred between the April 1998 adjudicatory hearing and the May 1998 order making DCFS the custodian of D.F. The record is not clear whether the court applied these considerations to both its reasonable efforts and its reasonable progress analyses. If the court considered this evidence in making its finding that respondent failed to make reasonable efforts pursuant to section 1(D)(m)(ii) of the Act, the court erred.
The relevant time period for the trial court's reasonable progress analysis pursuant to section 1(D)(m)(ii) of the Act began on August 12, 1998, the date the trial court filed the dispositional order as to D.S., and ended nine months later, on May 12, 1999. The trial court, however, concluded that the nine-month period began on April 2, 1998, the date of the adjudicatory hearing, and ended on January 2, 1999. Therefore, the court again considered evidence of events that occurred too early; that is, before the adjudication of neglect became final upon the filing of the dispositional order. To the extent the court did so, the court erred.
The trial court necessarily further erred when it considered the "second nine-month period" as beginning in January 1999. Pursuant to section 1(D)(m)(iii) of the Act, the second nine-month period could not begin until sometime after May 12, 1999, when the initial nine-month period lapsed. The court therefore erred to the extent that it considered evidence regarding events that actually occurred in the initial nine-month period as being in the second nine-month period.
We hold, consistent with the supreme court's interpretation of section 1(D)(m) of the Act in D.L., that sections 1(D)(m)(ii) and 1(D)(m)(iii) designate two separate nonoverlap-ping time periods. Therefore, when the State alleges grounds for unfitness under both of these subsections, the trial court must decide each allegation based only on the evidence pertaining to the designated period.
To avoid the issue presented by this appeal, trial courts in the future should make explicit the beginning and ending dates upon which they base their findings. In this case, for example, the court should have stated the following:
"As to the grounds alleged in section 9B of the State's petition, that respondent has failed to make reasonable progress toward D.F.'s return within nine months after the adjudication of neglect, I have limited my consideration of evidence of respondent's conduct and other relevant matters that occurred to between August 12, 1998, and May 12, 1999."
Likewise, when the State alleges grounds pursuant to section 1(D)(m)(iii) of the Act, a court should state precisely which nine-month period following the initial nine-month period it considered.
Because the trial court based its decision as to each of the alleged grounds of unfitness on evidence pertaining to occurrences outside the time periods applicable to those grounds, we vacate the court's order terminating respondent's parental rights and remand with directions for the court to review the evidence presented and determine respondent's parental fitness under the Act by reference only to the evidence of events that occurred within each of the relevant time periods.
For the reasons stated, we vacate the trial court's judgment and remand with directions.
Vacated and remanded with directions.
GARMAN and KNECHT, JJ., concur.

Solar panels require sunlight to generate electricity for your home so they do not work in darkness. Thus – the simple answer to this question is no. … The purpose of a solar panel system is to absorb sunlight, also know as photovoltaic energy (PV), and convert it to direct current (DC) power.
Do solar panels work at dusk?
24 Jun From dusk to dawn: solar energy at night
Sunlight is used to generate energy either directly using photovoltaics, indirectly using concentrated power or a combination of both. … Even high powered panels fall short compared to non-renewable methods because they can’t generate energy at night.
Do solar panels work in the morning?
Solar panels work for as many hours of the day as there is sunlight, which is the main factor affecting overall energy production. The strength of the sun’s rays varies a great deal throughout the day, weakest in early morning and late evening, and strongest during the 4 hours in the middle of the day.
How long after sunrise do solar panels work?
Although your panels may get an average of 7 hours of daylight a day, the average peak sun hours are generally around 4 or 5.
Can solar panels work without direct sunlight?
Solar panels work best in direct sunlight, but can also work without it. … Both forms of sunlight carry photons, which is what the solar panels convert into electric current. If there is no direct sunlight available, solar panels will produce electricity using indirect sunlight alone.
Will solar panels work if power goes out?
Solar panels, by themselves, will not work in a power outage because they are grid tied. This means your solar system is wired into your electric company’s grid, giving you the ability to take advantage of net metering. … And yes, this means solar panels alone will not work during a power outage.
What are the downsides of solar energy?
Disadvantages of Solar Energy
- Solar doesn’t work at night. …
- Solar panels are not attractive. …
- You can’t install a home solar system yourself. …
- My roof isn’t right for solar. …
- Solar hurts the environment. …
- Not all solar panels are high quality.
What time do solar panels start working?
As the strength and angle of the sun varies throughout the day and seasons, so too does the strength of the sun’s radiation and this affects the amount of electricity your solar power system will generate. The highest solar generation during the day is usually from 11am to 4pm.
How long do solar panels work per day?
So, even though the average day is exactly 12 hours, the power you actually get on your panels is equal to about 5 to 6 hours of full sun per day. Since the typical modern solar panel is about 12% efficient, you will get about 700 watts per square meter of panel.
What is the best month for solar?
The summer months are the best time to generate solar power. Find out why with this blog. May, June, July and August are the peak months for solar power production, because the sun is higher in the sky and the days are longer during the summer solstice.


Water towers are being isolated to provide adequate fire protection, according to parish officials.
Parish officials say they have no estimated time for return of water service but that they are working with a number of outside agencies to develop a plan and to fix the problem.
Residents in Reserve, Garyville and Mt. Airy are being asked to conserve water until further notice in an effort to maintain water levels. Parish officials are asking residents to refrain from activities that require water usage including washing clothes, running dishwashers and filling tubs.
Water levels in Lake Pontchartrain have risen by about three and a half feet in the past 24 hours, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
No water problems are being experienced on the west bank, according to the parish.

In an era of preventive health and as we know that health starts in the mouth, it is important to be informed about amalgam/silver fillings and that mercury is a heavy metal known as one of the components of dental amalgam used to fill teeth in the past.
Dental amalgam, also known as silver filling, because of its silver-like appearance, has been used to restore the teeth of more than 100 million Americans. However, the fact that its formulation includes mercury content has raised safety concerns in the minds of many people.
Each day, more patients are coming to our practice to inquire about mercury and dental health. It is known that amounts of mercury vapor can be released from amalgam during placement, mastication, and brushing.
Dental amalgam consists of a mixture of metals, liquid mercury and a powdered alloy composed of silver, tin, and copper. Approximately 50% of dental amalgam is elemental mercury by weight.
Our office recommends that amalgam fillings (silver fillings) should be replaced by tooth-colored restorations including composites and/or porcelain as we have treated several patients contaminated by mercury. We at Sharp Dentistry, and as members of the IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology), therefore follow the amalgam removal protocol. For information on the steps of amalgam removal protocol click here to visit the page.
As a primitive filling material, amalgam can be detrimental to oral health. It is well known that placing amalgam requires the removal of a significant amount of healthy tooth structure. This removal, in turn, weakens overall tooth structure which increases the need for future dental work. On top of that, amalgam fillings, which expand and contract over time, crack teeth and create the need for still more dental work.
Superior modern alternatives preserve healthy tooth structure and actually strengthen teeth, leading to better oral health and less extensive dental work over the long-term.
Ultimately, the best dental filling is no dental filling. Prevention is the best medicine. You can dramatically decrease your risk of cavities and other dental diseases simply by:
- brushing your teeth three times a day with non-fluoride toothpaste
- flossing daily
- eating a balanced diet
- visiting the dentist regularly.

Nassau police are targeting the intoxicated on the roads and waters as the Memorial Day weekend approaches, with authorities warning that drunken driving often results in tragedy.
Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly pointed to two horrific crashes this week, one where an alleged drunken driver killed three women leaving a Sweet 16 party in New Hyde Park.
“Now instead of basking in the celebration of this young girl’s Sweet 16, that family is planning three funerals,” Donnelly said. “The survivors of that crash will relive that moment for the rest of their lives. The survivors will carry lifelong injuries and some in cases need extensive physical therapy. Why? Because an alleged drunken driver got behind the wheel of a car and decided to drive.”
Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder also pointed to another crash early Wednesday off the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway where a woman, charged with driving while intoxicated, drove off the highway in Woodbury and crashed into a tree with her 18-month-old son in the backseat. Luckily, neither was severely injured.
Suffolk County police, who will also be targeting aggressive, distracted drivers and intoxicated drivers and boaters, will hold a news conference Thursday to detail their enforcement plans.
Nassau County has seen a rise in DWI fatalities, Ryder said. In 2020, 44 people died, increasing to 55 people in 2021 and there have already been 17 DWI-related deaths so far this year, he said.
“We sometimes refer to the days between Memorial Day and Labor Day as the 100 most dangerous days,” Donnelly said. “Sadly, the number of drunken driving deaths in this country is only growing.”
Across the country, there were 11,654 people who died in 2020 from alcohol-related traffic crashes and more than 20,000 people died from alcohol-related crashes in first half of 2021, Donnelly said.
She also said about 32 people a day die nationally from DWI crashes, according to the National Highway Safety Association.
Ryder said alcohol, weather and inattentiveness often lead to crashes on the water. Nassau County has one of the highest number of registered boats in the country with more than 28,000 registered motor boats, not including sailboats or other paddle boats.
Every motorized boat is required to register with the county and all children 12 and under are required to wear life vests, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said.
Nassau County is using a state STOP Grant, to increase driving and boating patrols, as well as using asset forfeiture funding for increase enforcement throughout the county and villages, Ryder said.
“It doesn’t stop with the weekend, it will go on for the entire summer and entire year. We will keep that enforcement up,” Ryder said.
According to AAA, 39.2 million people will travel 50 miles or more from home this Memorial Day weekend. This is an increase of 8.3% over 2021, bringing travel volumes almost in line with those in 2017.

whoa! sorry - it's that thing that happens in summer: my parents came for a week-long visit (which, for me, is an opportunity to thank them for being such great parents and selfless people by giving back with a week of treats: special meals, touring grounds at Bloedel reserve, a weekend in a cabin at the magical Lochaerie Resort on Lake Quinault - check it out, it's not what you'd expect from the word "resort" AND owners Kris and Tom are seriously delightful human beings!), I owe my first chapter of my dissertation in a couple weeks ... etc., etc.
Things are going on, I have some back-posting to do (expect a barrage - now!). To sum up, it seems to all be about "harvest" right now, which brings me to the first item: nasturtium capers.
I started my nasturtiums early, I guess. Though my next-door-neighbour's are still going strong, mine were overflowing from pots (that they shared with some pretty pink-flowered scented geraniums, which I'll have to bring in for winter) by mid-June, a tumble of blossoms all over the deck. We ate some in salad, but mostly I couldn't keep up with them - and that's okay, because I got a lot of pleasure out of watching the local hummingbirds (who are getting quite tame! One came and sat by this morning while I watered, not three feet away - note to self: we need a birdbath in this bird sanctuary) feed at every single blossom every summer night. One of them would spend about 30 minutes feeding, it was great to just sit and watch him dart from bloom to bloom.
But, as all things must, the blossoms faded and seedpods surfaced. Having seen a recipe for nasturtium capers in my library-lent copy of The Herbfarm Cookbook (long since recalled, sigh), I went online, and sure enough, The Splendid Table had adapted the recipe (not sure how, since for some reason I didn't write down the Herbfarm recipe) and posted it online. Bless you, NPR! I made the recipe exactly as written.
The results? SO delicious, really. For the longest time, I wasn't really wild about capers. I have recently, with my sudden newfound appreciation of other salty brined foods (aka olives! yum!) started to work on getting more capers into my diet, if only because I feel a truly well-rounded palette can find room to love most - if not all - flavours. I aspire to be open and able to enjoy all flavours I encounter, really, even though I was consciously working to acquire a palette for beets, mushrooms, and raw tomatoes in my 20s. Anyways, chatter aside, the material point is: we substituted these for "capers" in a salad recipe the other night and they were AMAZING. I am SO glad we have three small jars (and I have a basket of more seedpods on the table about to be turn into another half-jar or so) of these "capers" in the fridge to be used up by January of 2012.
I want to wait a little while, if I can; I love being able to enjoy a taste of summer as autumn deepens; in this land of fog and rain, it's such a nice reminder of these gorgeous days of sun, don't you think? So, if you are growing nasturtiums and the blossoms are fading, try this recipe. It's super easy and delicious. And if you didn't plant nasturtiums this year, I would totally recommend buying a 6-pack of nasturtium seedlings (usually about $1-$2 is all) next spring, tucking them into a pot or at the edge of a rock wall or over your driveway - nasturtiums will tumble and they are happiest when they have warm rocks or a warm deck to luxuriate on - and give them a go next year! For a cheap little annual plant, they really give a lot back in terms of beautiful bright colour, nectar for birds, and edible flowers and seeds for you!


London’s well-known Notting Hill Carnival over August financial institution vacation has been cancelled due to coronavirus issues, organisers have confirmed.
The two-day road occasion normally sees greater than one million folks pack the streets to soak up the music and watch processions of dancers.
But like practically all large public occasions developing within the coming months, organisers have pulled the plug.
They stated the occasion had “faced many challenges this year”.
A press release stated: “After prolonged consultations with our strategic companions and our Advisory Council, the Board has taken the choice that this 12 months’s Carnival won’t happen on the streets of Notting Hill because it has executed for over 50 years.
“This will also mean that Panorama, the annual steelband competition, will not take place.”
Organisers stated it had not been a straightforward choice.
“The reality of the COVID-19 pandemic and the way in which it has unfolded means that this is the only safe option. Everyone’s health has to come first,” stated the assertion.
Plans are as an alternative below approach for a digital occasion in August to “bring the Carnival spirit to people from the safety of their homes, and make them feel connected and engaged”.
It is hoped the 2021 occasion can go forward as regular.

South Jersey Times
Ella Wilson is a regular at the outpatient oncology clinic at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Every Monday morning, the 8-year-old Williamstown girl and her mother, Terri, make the trek to University City in West Philadelphia for 4-plus hours of appointments and chemotherapy treatments.
But unlike the children around her or the families hoping for remission, Ella doesn’t have cancer. She also doesn't have a cure.
Ella suffers from neurofibromatosis, or NF, a genetic disorder that spurs the growth of tumors in her brain. It has claimed the vision in her left eye and causes ADHD, low muscle tone and learning difficulties.
Nonetheless, the contagiously cheerful second grader is always focused on others. She favors random acts of kindness — paying the toll for the car behind them on the Walt Whitman Bridge, bringing food to the homeless on her way to appointments, throwing a Christmas party for kids displaced by Hurricane Sandy and raising thousands for NF research.
South Jersey Times spent the last year keeping tabs on Ella’s Journey, through health battles marked by hope and perseverance.
Monday marks the last of Ella’s treatments to stop the growth of tumors after 16 months of chemo, but their journey began in 2011, when she was 5 years old and the family heard seven syllables that would change their lives forever.

“I had never heard of it before,” said Terri Wilson, sitting at a table in a waiting area on the 4th floor of CHOP, the Philadelphia hospital that has been the destination for so many with dwindling options. Crayons, children’s books and stuffed Disney characters are scattered around her.
It’s a chilly, early April morning in 2013, just a few months into the chemo treatments that will hopefully halt the tumors in their tracks.
Their day at CHOP is packed — an appointment, breathing treatment and 3 1/2 hours of chemotherapy.
It would seem as if the chemo would deliver the biggest blow of the day. Longer term, it has the most impact, but this morning it’s the “sticks” for the intravenous chemo medications that deliver the most acute, immediate pain.
With a pink flower headband perched in her short, sandy-colored hair — thick and wavy like her mother’s but beginning to show the wear of chemo — Ella sits in a prep room with ice packs on her hands to bring her veins to life. She giggles with nurses and Child Life Specialist Lura Carstensen, but the tone of the room soon gets tense when a nurse starts to insert the needle. Tears fill Ella’s eyes and she throws her head back in agony.
Carstensen and Wilson work quickly to bring up Ella’s favorite songs on an iPad. “This Girl is on Fire” from Alicia Keys fills the room and Ella struggles to sing along, using her high falsetto to push through the pain.
“Ella Wilson’s on fire!” Carstenson sings to her to keep her focused on the music.

“You got this,” Wilson tells her daughter, meeting her forehead to Ella’s and looking into her blue, tear-filled eyes.
After two tries and “Home” from Phillip Phillips and Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror,” they get the “stick” where it needs to be, the tears dry and Ella’s grin returns. She goes about the rest of her day at CHOP with her usual charm, impersonating Darth Vader with her breathing treatment mask and laughing when she tries to see how many grapes can fit in her mouth for her pre-chemo snack.
“It’s just normal to her,” Wilson said.
There is no cure for NF. It’s a genetic disorder that’s split into two types, both characterized by the growth of tumors, or neurofibromas, according to the Neurofibromatosis Network. In type 1 — what Ella lives with and the most common, impacting one in every 4,000 people — the tumors can grow throughout the body in the nervous system and can cause issues including learning disabilities, high blood pressure, seizures, digestive problems, skeletal malformations and speech impairments.
Type 2, affecting only one in every 40,000 people, is marked by tumors that specifically impact hearing and balance. It can also cause eye lesions, spinal tumors and hearing loss.
Almost all of the potential outcomes of an NF diagnosis are just that — potential. According to the Neurofibromatosis Network, some who are diagnosed can go their entire lives barely noticing their disorder, while others can develop fatal complications like cancer. For the Wilsons, the unpredictable nature of the disorder has been one of the biggest challenges.
Wilson and her husband were told about possible effects, some severe, but like any parents, they hoped she’d be spared the worst.
Hoping for the best, they encountered the worst. Ella’s vision worsened, learning difficulties became more pronounced and she was diagnosed with tumors throughout her brain. Most aggressive were the optic gliomas, or tumors forming on her optic nerves.
“The major issue is the vision and tumors,” as well as learning disabilities including ADHD, said Ella’s doctor, Dr. Jean Belasco.
While chemo can bring cancer patients into remission, Terri said it’s only a mitigating treatment for Ella's symptoms.
Trips to Ella’s favorite places — Disney World, at the top of the list — and simple things like colors take on an importance they didn’t have before.
“I want her to always remember these things,” Wilson said.
Her parents have been upfront with Ella and talk to her about what could be ahead. Her mom asks her about what she’d do if she couldn’t see her favorite movies, if she does lose her sight.
“She said ‘That’s OK, I can hear it. You’ll be there to help me,'" Terri Wilson said.

A few days later, Ella is singing again.
This time it’s with a microphone on a sunny April afternoon at Holly Glen Elementary School.
The school chooses an annual fundraiser and this year it’s Ella's cause to advance funding for NF research. It's no surprise that she’s the star of the show.
“Hi Ella,” “Ella!” comes every few seconds as her classmates walk around the school’s track and pass her. As they get under way, she grips a microphone like a natural and belts out a Miley Cyrus tune — “Party in the USA” — alternating from serious singing to silly screeching.
“You would never know something’s wrong,” said Shelby Stephens, the one-on-one aide provided by the district to help in class and throughout the school day. “She just loves to put on a show and make friends.”
Pink bracelets, temporary tattoos and T-shirts supporting Ella permeate the all-day event.
Ella's cause again brought scores of family, friends and supporters together later that week to decorate hats, scarves and cards for Ella’s friends on the CHOP oncology ward. Funded by a Disney Friends for Change grant and held at Camp Sun 'N Fun — the Wilson’s homebase and where Terri works as camp director — Ella’s vivacious spirit is again on full display.

She sings and entertains, while her mom runs from task to task, worried if they’d have enough food and keeping an eye on her youngest daughter, 2-year-old Claire. She didn’t expect so many people, and says she is constantly surprised by the swell of support.
“We’ve made new friends, had new experiences and we keep trying to go with that and make the most of what’s been given to us,” Terri Wilson said.
A month later, in May, Ella's mom pulls off their first big event, the “Laughing for a Cure” fundraiser at Masso’s catering in Glassboro. It featured performances by Ella, of course, and Brian Staron, a comedic magician the family met in Disney World who was so impressed by Ella, he made the trip from Florida to make the show.
They raised more than $6,500, and $3,500 at the Holly Glen walk, for NF research.
A month later, in the “TV studio” at Holly Glen, Ella and Terri presented a $10,000 check to Matt DiBattista, the assistant director of event fundraising and community partnerships with CHOP.

The money was raised through various fundraisers. (Photo by Tim Hawk/South Jersey Times)
“So many of our programs rely on community support,” said DiBattista. “Not only for funding, but for the awareness they raise.”
That’s the whole idea behind the Wilsons’ work — to bring attention to NF and the dire need to fund research that one day could lead to a cure.
“No kid should have to deal with this,” said Wilson.
They'll be celebrating the official end of Ella's treatments on Saturday, March 29, with a free family fun day at Camp Sun 'N Fun on Tuckahoe Road in Williamstown. Running from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the celebration will feature a moonbounce, games, crafts, music, face painting and, of course, Ella.
Though it marks the end of one chapter in her trek through treatment, Ella’s journey is far from over. As she faces the draining effects of chemo and uncertainty about the growth of her tumors, Ella faces the additional challenge of maintaining her resilient optimism while sharing her message of hope.
Editor's note: South Jersey Times spent the last year following Ella Wilson’s progress. This is the first story in a three part series. Chapters will be added as the series unfolds.

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L., 1753) is a herbaceous species belonging to the Brassicaceae family.
From the systematic point of view it belongs to the Eukaryota Domain, United Plantae, Magnoliophyta Division, Magnoliopsida Class, Capparales Order, Brassicaceae Family and therefore to the Brassica Genus and to the B. oleracea Species.
The term Brassica comes from brassica, the Latin name of cabbage described by several authors, attested in literature starting from Plautus (III-II century BC). The origin of this name is uncertain and has been traced back to Greek or Celtic voices, without totally convincing evidence. Several etymological texts refer to the word Βράσκη braske, according to Hesychius used by the Italics in Magna Graecia to indicate cabbage. The specific epithet oleracea is derived from ólus óleris, vegetable: because it is used as a vegetable.
Geographical Distribution and Habitat –
The cabbage is a plant cultivated for a very long time that has allowed, among other things over the centuries, the selection of many varieties and cultivars. The wild form from which all these types originated (Brassica oleracea subsp. Oleracea), originated from the Atlantic coasts of Western Europe.
Brassica oleracea is a biennial plant that typically forms a rosette of leaves during the first year of life. In the second year, a more or less high inflorescence is formed which carries numerous yellow flowers with four petals and, after fertilization, generally crossed and entomophilous, give rise to the formation of a siliqua carrying numerous round seeds, of a bluish black color (the weight of 1,000 seeds is equal to 4-6 grams).
The plant, if left to develop, grows up to 1.5 meters high, forming abundant branches with flowering twigs.
Brassica oleracea is a species that adapts well to all types of soil, provided that these are deep, well-ventilated and fresh, well endowed with organic substance and with a pH around neutrality. The plant prefers temperate-cold and humid climates and tolerates cold but not frost. For its complete vegetative cycle the cultivation of cabbage requires transplant irrigation and in the head enlargement phase.
It is an intercalary crop and leaves a good residual fertility both for the considerable mass of crop residues and for the type of cultivation operations required.
Uses and Traditions –
Cabbage has a historical tradition that is lost in the mists of time. “Marcus Cato and Apicius praised the cabbage so much that all the virtues and flavors of the herb came to be described in this; that is to say that even the ancients were very avid of this leaf, since they are the modern ones … “.
This is how the great eighteenth-century chef Vincenzo Corrado praises the cabbage, in his all-vegetable cookbook entitled “Of the Pythagorean food, or Herbaceous for use by nobles and literary men” (Naples 1781). It is necessary to warn that Corrado’s recipes would be for us not very vegetarian in the strict sense, since the cabbage is cooked in meat or fish broth, seasoned with butter, cheese, ham or brains …. In ancient times the family of barassicaceae or crucifers enjoyed an extraordinary fame, not only as a food suitable for all seasons, raw or cooked, but also as a remedy for a variety of diseases (including impotence and drunkenness). Cato the censor was a great consumer and admirer of the cabbage, considering it the most tangible sign of the goodness of the natural remedies of the Roman tradition, to oppose the dangerous manipulations of Greek medicine.
Even a few decades ago in the imagination of farmers, the vegetable also had a particular symbolic value. The central leaves of the cabbage (cap) were assimilated to the female sex while the stem (caulis in Latin) represents the male member. Hence the belief that children were born under cabbage.
In addition to the transparent allusions mentioned, it should be added that to the peasant women who with their two hands pull out the “head” from the ground and cut the root (the “umbilical cord”) is popularly given the name of “midwives” .The cabbage is a plant that, in addition to human nutrition, is used in various cultivars in various ways: from a forage plant to an ornamental plant.
Cabbage has modest nutritional content; it has modest amounts of carbohydrates and even less protein. For mineral compounds, and microelements present in a wide variety, it is however very useful for reconstituting the body’s mineral reserves.
It also has a high fiber content and, if combined, as is traditional, with legumes, or carbohydrates, is a well-integrated food contribution.
In addition, due to its vitaminic, remineralizing, and above all promoter effects, the bowel movement performs a preventive action on many tumors (especially intestinal ones), and by constituting a diluent mass and a chemical buffer, it fights duodenal gastro ulcers.
The most important mineral compounds contained in cabbage are: sulfur, calcium, phosphorus, copper, iodine, selenium, magnesium. All cabbages, especially if eaten fresh, are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin B1, and vitamin C.
It should be remembered, however, that cabbage, together with almost all Brassicaceae, have an extraordinary ability to collect and fix in their tissues the minerals contained in the soil, often essential for human nutrition; this quality becomes negative when these plants are grown in polluted soils due to the presence of heavy metals, which are often toxic, such as chromium, lead, arsenic, cadmium.
For this reason, when cabbage plants are grown for food purposes, it is good to make sure that the soils are not polluted by these metals. A typical characteristic of all cabbages is that, when they are cooked, they give off a bad smell; this is due to the large presence of sulfur compounds (sulphides) that are released by cooking.
The sulphides, mostly methyl isothiocyanate, vanish at 90% after 8 minutes of cooking, and the extraction is total after 16 minutes. Among the different varieties of Brassica oleracea we remember:
– Brassica oleracea var. acephala, to which belong the Tuscan black cabbage and the Galician cabbage;
– Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra, the Chinese broccoli (Kay-lan);
– Brassica oleracea var. italica, the broccoli cabbage (eg the romanesco broccoli or the broccoli fiolaro);
– Brassica oleracea var. capitata, the cabbage used for the preparation of “sauerkraut”;
– Brassica oleracea var. capitata rubra, the red cabbage;
– Brassica oleracea var. costata or var. tronchuda, the Portuguese cabbage (trochuda);
– Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera, the Brussels cabbage;
– Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes or L. var. caulorapa, the kohlrabi;
– Brassica oleracea var. botrytis, the cauliflower in the white and green varieties;
– Brassica oleracea var. Savoy, the savoy cabbage;
– Brassica oleracea var. sabellica, the kale;
– Brassica oleracea var. stenter.
Preparation Mode –
This robust vegetable, in its different varieties, has been a food staple for centuries; a must for soups and soups, alone or with other ingredients such as pork in the Lombard casserole. Sauerkraut, sometimes also sausage and other pork cuts, can also be a preserved food stock by controlled fermentation.
In short, it is practically, almost impossible, to cite in a single article the innumerable methods of preparation of this vegetable, from raw to cooked to fermented, also for its innumerable varieties selected over time.

Last year the fabulous Michelle McTernan introduced me to critically acclaimed Tyrone folk rockers, The Logues, when they promoted their highly anticipate new album ‘Coming of Age’ at the Belfast Empire. I would not say I am the biggest fan of folk rock but after seeing this band, who have been described as psycho ceilidh and whiskey-soaked folk, live, I truly was converted and I danced the night away. So, needless to say I was a tad on the excited side today when I received an email from Michelle telling me the band had released a video for their new single ‘Yvonne John’, which has already gone viral receiving over 35,000 viewers in less than a week.
The video (see link above), is a fun and energetic affair which really puts our wee country on the music map with scenes shot in key locations around Northern Ireland, such as Dergfest, Castlederg; Lanyon Hall, Cookstown and even on an open top Belfast City Sightseeing Tour (a first for any music video!). With fans from all over Ireland, the UK, Holland, Switzerland, Italy, the US and even the Middle East, where the lads will be performing their annual Dubai St Patrick’s Day festival, lapping up this new offering, the band are really ‘folk rocking’ all over the world.
The Logues, who are signed to Ireland’s most respected live music agency AMA Music Agency, are a band definitely worth watching. Last year they earned a well respected number two slot in the ‘Folk Album of 2016’ and after such a warm response to their new video, it already looks like 2017 is going to be even bigger and better year for The Logues.
So what are you waiting for, check out the new video now to see what all the hype is about!

How often should the dog visit the veterinarian? For most dogs, they should visit their vet once a year for their vaccinations.
For puppies, they should visit their vets more often since they require frequent vaccination boosters.
If your dog has a medical problem, he should visit the vet more often.
When your dog is six years old, you can take him to the vet twice a year for a thorough check up to find out if he is healthy or if a budding disease may be cropping up that needs immediate attention.
How do I know if my dog is sick? It is important to know your dog well and watch out for any changes in his over all appearance, behavior, eating, and drinking patterns.
Other common signs include not having any appetite for food, changes in water consumption, changes in consistency of his wastes, vomiting, changes in behavior, weight loss, and frequent urination are other tell-tale signs of problems.
Some obvious signs include whimpering in pain and limping.
Should I neuter my dog? If you are not planning on breeding your dog, then you can choose to neuter him.
Health advantages include less aggressive behavior.
Furthermore, neutering reduces their risks of developing testicular and prostate cancer in male dogs.
Female dogs won't get mammary cancer, womb infections, and diabetes.
Neutering is usually performed on dogs that are six months old, although it can be done in very young puppies.
How do I stop my dog from eating grass? When dogs eat grass, they usually vomit.
It is believed that dogs in the wild have access to vegetation in the guts of the prey they eat.
Our modern dogs make up for this seeming lack by eating grass.
There is a grass marketed especially for dogs that, once sprinkled on dog food, will cause the dog to stop eating grass.
There are lots of dog questions that remain in the mind of dog owners.
It is important to ask your vet about any dog health concerns.

An tremendous day getting out the vote in Pennsylvania. The anecdotes and the statistics agree that this may be the highest turnout the city or the state have seen. I met new voters for Kerry, old voters for Kerry, Republicans for Kerry. The righteous anger was palpable, and the conviction not to be kept from voting was unyielding. Looks like we’re holding this state. As for the others, we’ll see.
