Even Amid Economic Recovery, Need at Food Bank for Larimer County Not Declining
Nationally, 1 in 6 people are food insecure – meaning they may not know where their next meal is coming from, and the numbers are similar in Colorado. Even in the midst of an economic recovery – the need for food assistance continues to grow at one Northern Colorado food bank.
The Face of Hunger
The face of hunger may surprise some people. It’s not confined to a small pocket of society – or limited to just the homeless and poverty-stricken.
It’s working professionals, those who’ve recently lost their jobs, parents and very often, children and grandparents. Nearly 50% of food bank clients in Larimer County are under the age of 18 or senior citizens.
“Most of my money goes for utilities and rent and stuff like that – because social security hasn’t given a raise for about 3 years now, and they won’t give one this year either,” says senior Paul East.
He has been using the Food Bank for several years. If it wasn’t for the service, he says he’d have no way to consistently get something to eat. It’s an all too familiar story for Executive Director Amy Pezzani.
“These are folks whose situation isn’t going to improve, and we expect that as more baby boomers retire we’re going to see more of that demographic needing food assistance,” she says.
The Food Bank
The Food Bank for Larimer County operates 3 programs. First, there’s Food Link, which provides food to non-profit agencies such as Catholic Charities of Northern Colorado. Kid’s Cafe is an after school and summer meal program for low-income kids, and there’s Food Share. The latter is what comes to mind when most people think about a food bank.
“In a typical day we sign up anywhere from 10 to 50 new households that have never been here before, and in a typical day we will see at least 600 to 700 people come through the door,” says Pezzani.
And on a typical day, a line spilling out the door continues for hours. Standing in line this week was Mark Beardsley - a young Ft. Collins man who is unemployed and trying to keep his head above water…
“It’s really helpful because we have a lot of kids at home who need food and we don’t have a lot of money to buy food and the food pantry is the alternative to starving,” he says.
Inside the Food Pantry, William Overmann is sifting through red peppers, to go along with the pita bread and other produce he’s picked out.
“I’ve been living in Fort Collins for a number of years and been living off minimum wage, and I can say it’s invaluable when you can barely afford to scrape together rent money every month, let alone money for food,” he says.
Amy Pezzani says the numbers of clients have steadily increased since the recession began. Before September 2008, she says there was a 7% to 10% year to year growth in clients, but the need climbed nearly 50% in the months following.
“We’ve also seen the number of times that a client comes for food increase. In 2008, on average our clients used us two times each month, now our clients use us three times each month,” she adds.
Keeping Up with Demand
While many non-profits struggled to keep up with the increased need, Pezzani says the food bank actually fared pretty well and has been able to keep up with demand so far, thanks in large part to the community.
“We’re still highly dependent on donated food. Last year we distributed nearly 8 million pounds of food. Over 80% of that food would have been in area or national landfills if it weren’t for us recovering and distributing it.”
But, while the U.S. is technically in recovery mode, Pezzani says continuing economic uncertainty means there’s no end to ongoing need.
That’s why the Food Bank for Larimer County is opening a new Food Share facility next week. Through that, an additional 10,000 pounds of food will be distributed each month. But the growing need for food assistance isn’t limited to Larimer County. The situation is similar at the Weld Food Bank and others across the state and nation.

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) — A new report by the National Research Council calls for a national “human toxicogenomics initiative” to better understand toxicity by developing genomic tools to identify toxic chemicals that predict “individual vulnerabilities,” creating new toxicity tests, and building a massive database to hold data about toxins and genomics.
Saying the effort should “approach the scale of the Human Genome Project,” the NRC said it will be necessary to develop toxicogenomic technologies, execute studies, and create data and biobanks and to begin to confront ethical challenges in order to realize the potential of toxicogenomics contributions to modern medicine and science.
"We have just begun to tap the potential for toxicogenomic technologies to improve risk assessment," David Christiani, chair of the NRC’s Committee on Applications of Toxicogenomic Technologies to Predictive Toxicology, said in a statement.
The report, called Applications of Toxicogenomic Technologies to Predictive Toxicology and Risk Assessment, said a typical use for a toxicogenomics-based predictive test would be one that tells an individual to expect nausea and impaired muscle function if exposed to a common pesticide.
New technologies now allow researchers to “identify toxic processes as they unfold at an early, molecular stage, long before symptoms appear,” the NRC said in the statement. Continuing to collect, store, and experiment with this type of information will make it easier to develop tests "that can more accurately predict whether a chemical will be hazardous, and at what dose.”
The NRC also proposed creating a “single public database to collect toxicogenomic data and integrate it with data on health effects generated with traditional toxicology studies.”
This database would allow researchers to study the links between molecular activity and symptoms they may cause, and to study how “multiple genetic reactions at the cellular level can combine to cause adverse outcomes.

NFL Network'sMike Mayock conducted a conference call with the national media yesterday, taking questions ahead of next week's draft. Mayock, a former New York Giants safety, has become one of the preeminent draft experts, alayzing team needs and player strengths.
During this Q&A sessiong, Mayock touched on numerous issues, including a few with direct reference to the Miami Dolphins.
First up is the obvious one - Ryan Tannehill:
Q. Tannehill is a guy who seems to be a lot of talk and debate about where he should go. I wanted to get from you the likely scenarios of where he might go and why.
MIKE MAYOCK: Yeah, at this point, I'm leaning heavily towards Cleveland going with Richardson and looking to get wheat on later in the draft.
That's kind of where I think Cleveland -- so if it's not going to be Cleveland at four, the next logical pressure points are Miami at eight or somebody trading up to seven.
And I think Jacksonville would love to get out of seven and trade down. So it opens up the possibility of a Kansas City or a Seattle or whomever to come up to seven and get Tannehill. And if he doesn't go at seven, then he's got his former head coach sitting right there at eight. It's a tough situation for the general manager because he's got to win quickly and this is a quarterback that's at least a year away.
So from Miami's perspective, you have to hope your owner understands what's going on there, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's not ownership pressure there to get a quarterback. So there's an awful lot of different currents going on around there, Cliff, but I think they are the most logical scenarios.
Next up, Mayock talked about first round quarterbacks versus QBs that are selected anywhere else in the league:
Q. A while ago you gave out stats about first round quarterbacks versus second through seventh round quarterbacks. Wonder if you could repeat those, please.
MIKE MAYOCK: In the last eight drafts there's been 23 quarterbacks in the first round and 15 are now starters. In the same time frame, rounds two through seven, there have been 82 quarterbacks with seven (sic) (15) starters.
Obviously that's 22 of the 32 starters around the league.
By the way, Matt Moore would be a college free agent that's now a starter in Miami in addition to that group.

I really like the fried tofu with a tough, almost crispy exterior that you can get in various Chinese dishes. And I’ve tried a range of experiments with tofu in the past, but with little luck in getting it out of it’s natural “I am a squishy sponge” state. It’s been a few years since I’ve attempted, so I tried again recently, and had much better luck, which gives me hope in someday mastering the art of fried tofu.
Josh came back from Texas recently with a range of delicious local sauces and rubs to try on meat. One of them, Frog Bones Sweet Mesquite BBQ Rub, tasted a heck of a lot like BBQ potato chips (specifically delicious ones) and I decided it had possibility to rub on all sorts of things.
(That picture is fuzzy. My kitchen has low lighting and my cellphone is several versions behind at this point.)
So I sliced up some firm tofu, dumped a bunch of rub all over it, mixed it up, and let it sit in it for several hours.
At that point, I cranked the heat up to medium, and pan fried them in, uh, pork lard. The “uh” is there because I feel like, in the US, there is very little overlap between “people who like tofu” and “people who like pork.” Welp, I live in that Venn diagram overlap, and tofu lightly fried in some lard is delicious.
Anyhow, I was pretty light on the lard, tossed them every minute or two, until the edges started to brown. I suspect that using a dry rub (versus using sauces, like I’ve tried before) was really helpful. The high salt content may have helped pull some of the moisture out. I think that, back in the day, since I ate tofu covered in sauce, for some reason I assumed it had to be cooked that way as well. In any case, the rub seemed to work well.

Trust Based Relational Intervention®
What is TBRI®?
TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of children who have experienced trauma and chronic stress. TBRI® educates and equips caregivers with knowledge and skills that empower them to provide healing care for children. This intervention developed out of a strong research base of attachment theory, sensory processing, and neuroscience. However, the heartbeat of TBRI® is connection. In addition to successful use by families, TBRI® has been used in multiple settings to effect change, including intensive home programs, residential treatment centers, and schools.

When it comes to the dental care you’re providing and overseeing not only for your own smile but also for the smiles of your whole family, things can feel complicated. What we’re happy to report, however, is that it doesn’t need to feel this way. We can offer up some reminders that will guide you toward making smile care something that’s easy, that comes naturally, that’s filled with fewer risks, and that helps your family maintain lovely, healthy grins!
Maintain A Schedule Across The Board
One of the best tips for helping your dental care go smoothly for the entire family is getting onto a schedule for all of your dental-related needs. When it’s your hygiene at home, decide on times in the morning and evening that work for dental hygiene sessions. When it’s your products, write out grocery lists and check in on products weekly to see if anything is running low in your bathrooms. When it comes to professional care, plan well in advanced, deciding whether it’s easiest to bring the whole family in at once or otherwise and then keep a schedule.
Don’t Try To Perform Your Own Professional Care
Don’t convince yourself that you can practice professional dental care at home. Don’t assume you can remove all plaque on your own or try to purchase special dental instruments. Don’t figure that your brushing and flossing is good enough. Instead, leave everything up to us that doesn’t include your home brushing and flossing by setting up checkups and cleanings (and more).
If You’re Unsure, Let Us Know
If you’re unsure about something, call us. Whether your child has a toothache, your spouse wants to use over-the-counter whitening and it sounds like a bad idea to you, etc., remember we are here to answer dental care questions to protect your family’s smiles!
See Us For Friendly Family Dental Care
Come in for the dental care your entire family needs, from prevention to restorative treatments and more! Find out if you’re making good choices by scheduling a visit with your Ankeny, IA dentist today! Contact Peddicord Family Dentistry to set up an appointment by calling 515-963-3339.

Frank Kameny soon realized the pivotal change brought by the Stonewall riots. An organizer of gay activism in the 1950s, he was used to persuasion, trying to convince heterosexuals that gay people were no different than they were. When he and other people marched in front of the White House, the State Department and Independence Hall only five years earlier, their objective was to look as if they could work for the U.S. government. Ten people marched with Kameny then, and they alerted no press to their intentions. Although he was stunned by the upheaval by participants in the Annual Reminder in 1969, he later observed, "By the time of Stonewall, we had fifty to sixty gay groups in the country. A year later there was at least fifteen hundred. By two years later, to the extent that a count could be made, it was twenty-five hundred."
Auckland's City Auckland Pride Festival holds its parade in February every year. In 2018, lesbian couple Victoria Envy and Sinéad O'Connell became the first couple in New Zealand to legally wed in the parade. and Jacinda Ardern became the first New Zealand Prime Minister to walk in the Auckland Pride Parade. In March, Wellington also holds a pride parade during the Wellington Pride Festival.

Ranging from solemn to carnivalesque, pride events are typically held during LGBT Pride Month or some other period that commemorates a turning point in a country's LGBT history, for example Moscow Pride in May for the anniversary of Russia's 1993 decriminalization of homosexuality. Some pride events include LGBT pride parades and marches, rallies, commemorations, community days, dance parties, and festivals.
The 21st Metro Manila Pride March in 2015, entitled Fight For Love, was held on the 25th of July. The turnout of the event was an estimated number of 2,000 participants. The following 2016 Metro Manila Pride March was themed Let Love In. There was an uncertainty whether or not the event would take place due to the Orlando Nightclub Shooting, but the event still pushed through. The march began at Luneta Park on the 25th of June 2016. The 2017 Pride March was entitled #HereTogether. On the 24th of June that year, members and supporters of the LGBT Community gathered at Plaza de los Alcaldes, Marikina to begin the 2017 Metro Manila Pride March.
Although first LGBTQ festival in Slovenia dates to 1984, namely the Ljubljana Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, the first pride parade was only organized in 2001 after a gay couple was asked to leave a Ljubljana café for being homosexual. Ljubljana pride is traditionally supported by the mayor of Ljubljana and left-wing politicians, most notably the Interior minister Katarina Kresal, who joined both the 2009 and 2010 parade. Some individual attacks on activists have occurred.
Czech Republic's largest LGBT event. This year, the week-long Prague Gay Pride runs from August 5th-11th.

LGBT History Month originated in the United States, and was first celebrated in 1994. It was founded by Missouri high-school history teacher Rodney Wilson. Wilson originated the idea, served as founder on the first coordinating committee, and chose October as the month of celebration. Among early supporters and members of the first coordinating committee were Kevin Jennings of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN); Kevin Boyer of the Gerber/Hart Gay and Lesbian Library and Archives in Chicago; Paul Varnell, writer for the Windy City Times; Torey Wilson, Chicago area teacher; Johnda Boyce, women's studies major at Columbus State University and Jessea Greenman of UC-Berkeley. Many gay and lesbian organizations supported the concept early on as did Governors William Weld of Massachusetts and Lowell Weicker of Connecticut, Mayors such as Thomas Menino of Boston and Wellington Webb of Denver, who recognized the inaugural month with official proclamations. In 1995, the National Education Association indicated support of LGBT History Month as well as other history months by resolution at its General Assembly.
The Dublin Pride Festival usually takes place in June. The Festival involves the Pride Parade, the route of which is from O'Connell Street to Merrion Square. However, the route was changed for the 2017 Parade due to Luas Cross City works. The parade attracts thousands of people who line the streets each year. It gained momentum after the 2015 Marriage Equality Referendum.
A number of associations and social movements have been denouncing in recent years which, in its views, is a depletion of the claims of these demonstrations and the merchandization of the parade. In this respect, they defend, in countries like Spain, the United States or Canada, a Critical Pride celebration to have a political meaning again. Gay Shame, a radical movement within the LGBT community, opposes the assimilation of LGBT people into mainstream, heteronormative society, the commodification of non-heterosexual identity and culture, and in particular the (over) commercialization of pride events.
On Saturday, June 27, 1970, Chicago Gay Liberation organized a march[full citation needed] from Washington Square Park ("Bughouse Square") to the Water Tower at the intersection of Michigan and Chicago avenues, which was the route originally planned, and then many of the participants extemporaneously marched on to the Civic Center (now Richard J. Daley) Plaza. The date was chosen because the Stonewall events began on the last Saturday of June and because organizers wanted to reach the maximum number of Michigan Avenue shoppers. Subsequent Chicago parades have been held on the last Sunday of June, coinciding with the date of many similar parades elsewhere. Subsequently during the same weekend, gay activist groups on the West Coast of the United States held a march in Los Angeles and a march and "Gay-in" in San Francisco.
LGBT History Month was celebrated in Hungary for the first time in February 2013, and since then every year. The program series is coordinated by Háttér Society and Labrisz Lesbian Association, events are organized in partnership with other LGBT organization, cultural and academic institutions, professional organizations etc. The majority of the events take place in Budapest, but a few events are also organized in larger cities all over the country, e.g. in Debrecen, Pécs, Miskolc and Szeged.
In 1995 MCC, ProGay Philippines and other organizations held internal celebrations. In 1996, 1997 and 1998 large and significant marches were organized and produced by Reachout AIDS Foundation, all of which were held in Malate, Manila, Philippines. In 1998, the year of the centennial commemoration of the Republic of the Philippines, a Gay and Lesbian Pride March was incorporated in the mammoth "citizens' parade" which was part of the official centennial celebration. That parade culminated in "marching by" the President of the Philippines, His Excellency Joseph Estrada, at the Quirino Grandstand in Luneta Park in Manila.
The collections of the Library of Congress contain many books, posters, sound recordings, manuscripts and other material produced by, about and for the LGBTQ community. The contributions of this community are preserved as part of our nation’s history, and include noted artistic works, musical compositions and contemporary novels. The Library’s American collections range from the iconic poetry of Walt Whitman through the manuscripts of the founder of LGBTQ activism in Washington, D.C., Frank Kameny.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is currently celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. The Stonewall Uprising was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. In the United States the last Sunday in June was initially celebrated as “Gay Pride Day,” but the actual day was flexible. In major cities across the nation the “day” soon grew to encompass a month-long series of events. Today, celebrations include pride parades, picnics, parties, workshops, symposia and concerts, and LGBTQ Pride Month events attract millions of participants around the world. Memorials are held during this month for those members of the community who have been lost to hate crimes or HIV/AIDS. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.
The second biggest Pride Parade in Brazil is Rio de Janeiro Gay Pride Parade, numbering about 2 million people, traditionally taking place in Zona Sul or Rio's most affluent neighborhoods between the city center and the world-famous oceanic beaches, which usually happens in the second part of the year, when it is winter or spring in the Southern Hemisphere, generally characterizing milder weather for Rio de Janeiro (about 15°C in difference), except for occasional stormy cold fronts. The Rio de Janeiro Gay Pride Parade and its associated events are organized by the NGO Arco-Íris (Portuguese for rainbow). The group is one of the founders of the Associação Brasileira de Gays, Lésbicas, Bissexuais, Travestis e Transexuais (Brazilian Association of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, Transvestites (this word used as a synonym for transgender persons in Brazil) and Transsexuals). Other Pride Parades which happen in Greater Rio de Janeiro take place in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro's ex-capital in the times when Rio was the Brazilian capital and a separated Federal District, and Nova Iguaçu, where about 800,000 persons live and is located in the center of Baixada Fluminense, which compose all northern suburban cities of Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area numbering 3.5 million people.

The first marches were both serious and fun, and served to inspire the widening activist movement; they were repeated in the following years, and more and more annual marches started up in other cities throughout the world. In Atlanta and New York City the marches were called Gay Liberation Marches, and the day of celebration was called "Gay Liberation Day"; in Los Angeles and San Francisco they became known as 'Gay Freedom Marches' and the day was called "Gay Freedom Day". As more cities and even smaller towns began holding their own celebrations, these names spread. The rooted ideology behind the parades is a critique of space which has been produced to seem heteronormative and 'straight', and therefore any act appearing to be homosexual is considered dissident by society. The Parade brings this homosexual behaviour into the space.
The Hong Kong Pride Parade 2008 boosted the rally count above 1,000 in the second largest East Asian Pride after Taipei’s. By now a firmly annual event, Pride 2013 saw more than 5,200 participants. The city continues to hold the event every year, except in 2010 when it was not held due to a budget shortfall.[excessive citations][non-primary source needed]
Other Southeastern Brazilian parades are held in Cabo Frio (Rio de Janeiro), Campinas (São Paulo), Vitória (capital of Espírito Santo), and Belo Horizonte and Uberaba (Minas Gerais). Southern Brazilian parades take place in Curitiba, Florianópolis, Porto Alegre and Pelotas, and Center-Western ones happen in Campo Grande, Cuiabá, Goiânia and Brasília. Across Northeastern Brazil, they are present in all capitals, namely, in Salvador, Aracaju, Maceió, Recife, João Pessoa, Natal, Fortaleza, Teresina and São Luís, and also in Ceará's hinterland major urban center, Juazeiro do Norte. Northern Brazilian parades are those from Belém, Macapá, Boa Vista and Manaus.
Toronto's pride parade has been held yearly since 1981. In 2003 its activists help score a major victory when the Ontario Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling which made same-sex marriage legal in Ontario, the first jurisdiction in North America to do so. By this time the Toronto Pride Week Festival had been running for twenty-three years. It is also one of the largest, attracting around 1.3 million people in 2009. The latest pride parade in Toronto was held on Sunday June 24, 2018. Toronto hosted WorldPride in 2014.

The Church of England sent an observer to the Anglican Church in North America gathering in Long Beach, California this week, and their leader is very pleased but others are perplexed. Last year the General Synod of the Church of England rejected a motion to recognize ACNA, so what was the purpose this visit?
Thinking Anglicans has the story:
According to the remarks of the Archbishop and Primate of the Anglican Church in North America, Robert Duncan, speaking on 21 June:
It is also a privilege to welcome Fr. Thomas Seville, CR, of the Faith and Order Commission of the Church of England here as participant and observer, in partial response to the action of the General Synod of the Church of England in February 2010 regarding consideration of an appropriate form of recognition or relationship with the Anglican Church in North America.
Mark Harris wonders if the CofE knows that the presence of even an observer continues to raise the hopes of the breakaway denomination that they will one day be welcomed back into the fold.
I have no idea if the CofE or the ABC has any idea just how ACNA will use the presence of a representative of the Faith and Order Commission of the Cof E at the ACNA meeting. But it is clear that ACNA knows how to use it. They use it to suggest that they are being taken seriously, that they are loved, or at least liked.

Former Edgewood High student sues over repeated racial discrimination
An African-American former Edgewood High School student claims in a lawsuit filed this week that for 2 1/2 years his old administrators not only knew about systematic school racism but failed to protect him from intense racial bullying.
A 23-page complaint accompanying the lawsuit filed this week not only talks about examples like the student, Blake Broadnax, repeatedly being called the N word, but also being called a slave, and claims a white student made a comment in front of him about the Ku Klux Klan “dominating.”
“I think the worst situation for me was, out of everything that had happened, was in public speaking I had asked a kid to edit my speech and he gave it back to me and he crossed out my name, Blake Broadnax, and wrote ‘my little niglet.’ And then wrote the N-word on the paper about 10 more times,” Broadnax said.
Broadnax first spoke publicly last May. He said he felt horrible racism required him to leave Edgewood and move with his family to Indiana. At that time the family had asked for a full tuition refund and compensation for emotional distress.
“From the beginning they’ve asked for the same thing,” Broadnax’s lawyer, Stan Davis, said. “They asked for Edgewood to seriously reconsider how they’ve handled these issues. The culture at the school. And then in terms of damages, they want to be reasonably compensated for what he and the family went through for 2 1/2 years at the school.”
Davis said the family finally decided to sue because it does not appear to them Edgewood administrators have done anything to truly fix systematic racism.
“One of the most troubling things has not just been what happened at the school, it’s been the reaction of the administration,” Davis said. “The lack of willingness to accept the things that happened there were inappropriate.”
In May, Edgewood President Michael Elliott said he did not believe rampant racism was a part of the school’s culture, and said efforts like school assemblies had properly addressed concerns as they came up.
“It wasn’t due to one family and one family leaving, it was due to multiple issues that were out there that were challenging our institution, and we felt we needed to take a stand and educate in a major way,” Elliott said. “I look at our students, I look at our faculty, I look at our student services, and when we knew and know about an issue, we do deal with it.”
In a statement reacting to the complaint Elliott said, in part, “We believe the claims of the lawsuit are without merit, and Edgewood High School will vigorously defend its reputation as a school that fosters inclusion and has a strong commitment to ensuring a welcoming, diverse, safe and supportive environment for all who learn, teach and work here.”
Elloitt goes onto say, “We firmly believe that Edgewood High School faculty and staff acted promptly, and appropriately at all times in addressing and taking action on the matters that were brought to our attention. We talked with the Broadnax family after each reported incident was addressed, and they stated that they were satisfied with the steps that were taken.”

President Obama, as I’ve been reporting, has of late been proclaiming his religiosity, sounding like he’s been perusing the Bible every chance he gets and has suddenly become steeped in its phrases.
Meanwhile, he’s actually started attending church, with cameras rolling has he and the family make their way across Lafayette Part to St. John’s, across from the White House.
Of course, it takes only a low simmer of skepticism to come to the conclusion that all this has more to do with appealing to various blocs of voters than it does a sudden religious awakening on the part of the president, though I suppose anything’s possible.
The latest example is today’s weekly address, which sounds like it could have been delivered by the Cardinal of New York.
Yesterday, many of us took a few quiet moments to try and fathom the tremendous sacrifice Jesus made for all of us. Tomorrow, we will celebrate the resurrection of a savior who died so that we might live. And throughout these sacred days, we recommit ourselves to following His example.
Obama has gotten so graphic in his religious phrasing that I’m wondering exactly what the most bellicose advocates of separation of church and state would be saying if George W. Bush starting using such language.
Have listen to this week’s address.
If you doubt this has anything to do with the campaign, note that last year, Obama didn’t even bother to devote an address to Easter. And in 2010, Obama offered “holiday greetings” as opposed to this year’s “Easter and Passover greetings,” and he barely got into any specifics about Christianity.
Obama already has the politically correct crowd in his pocket. He needs to make some inroads among the faithful in places like Pennsylvania and Ohio.
And if that means clinging to his Bible, he’ll do it.

Inside the jacket of a suit, between the outer fabric and the inner smooth lining, there are several layers of fabric to keep the jacket in shape, this layer is called the canvas. The difference between a full canvas, half canvas and fused jacket front is not immediately apparent as this layer is not seen unless the jacket is taken apart. This difference however is crucial in determining the quality, comfort, fit and durability of the garment.
The method of construction which offers the highest level of quality in all aspects is canvas construction. A canvas front jacket has an inner layer of horsehair which floats in between the jacket front and lining. This method of construction offers the highest level of quality for several reasons. Firstly a canvas front jacket offers a level of durability which is unmatched by other types of construction. One of the problems with fused jackets is that over time with regular wear and dry cleaning the fusing has a tendency to shrink or separate from the jacket front which causes unsightly wrinkling and puckering. This will never happen with a full or half canvas jacket as the canvas in not actually attached to the jacket (except at the lapels) but rather floats in between the jacket front and lining. Another benefit of canvas construction is that because of the flexibility of the horsehair canvas the jacket will actually mold to the shape of the wearer and fit better and more comfortably over time.
Canvas construction is a much more tedious and time consuming process than other means of construction (there are over a thousand stitches in the lapel alone which attach the canvas to the jacket front) and as a result this method of construction gives a crispness and fullness to the body of a jacket which is not possible with other methods of construction. The only real difference between full canvas and half canvas construction is that on a half canvas jacket the canvas extends to just below the front pocket and not all the way to the hem as with a full canvas. Half canvas construction is excellent for use in lighter weight fabrics because it creates a lightweight, comfortable jacket but still has the same benefits of full canvas, such as greater durability, pad stitched lapels, etc.

A Posey County teacher is charged with two felony counts of child seduction.
Officials filed those charges days ago and set Camella Rodgers’ bond at $15,000 cash. According to the Posey County Jail, Rodgers has not been arrested.
Officers said Rodgers had a relationship with a 17-year-old female student. The girl’s mother said she was friends with Rodgers.
She told 14 News both of their daughters were friends and teammates.
Rodgers even lived in the victim’s home for a couple of months last summer. The mother told police she became aware of the relationship when she saw a photo showing Rodgers kissing her daughter.
Rodgers was a teacher at Farmersville Elementary. Mount Vernon Superintendent Tom Kopatich told us Rodgers resigned in December.
“We handled it. School corporation-wise we handled it. Now it’s all in the police’s hands,” said Kopatich. “We’re working and sharing with the police. We need to make sure they have everything they need, and they’ll do the investigation.”
This is an ongoing investigation.
At this time, we still do not know when Rodgers will be booked into the Posey County Jail.

Invoice factoring is an exciting step for any size organization. It’s a great way to achieve alternative financing for your business: More capital, minimal risk, and a straightforward concept.
What Is the Definition of Invoice Factoring?
Invoice factoring means selling some or all of your company’s outstanding invoices to a third party to improve cash flow and revenue stability. A factoring business will pay you the majority of the billed amount immediately and then collect payment from your clients directly.
Although factoring isn’t complex on the surface, first-time clients might make several typical errors that cause their findings to be delayed. Here are five specific problems you may encounter
1. Customers with a Low Credit Score
A factoring business will assess each of your clients to see if they are creditworthy enough to be factored. This is a time-consuming, paperwork-intensive procedure for you, and depending on the financial condition of your client base, it may not provide the relief you expect. If your invoice factor refuses to factor the bulk of your clients, this is an invoice factoring issue outside your company’s control. Suppose the factoring business rejects a significant number of your customers. In that case, it might exacerbate your financial situation owing to both the time lost and the rate that the factor charges you on the rest of your customer receivables. Because most receivable factoring pricing is dependent on the total client portfolio, a few rotten apples may truly ruin the lot.
2. Using Invoice Factoring for Undeliverables
When you opt to sell your bills to an invoice factoring firm, it is critical that you only send the company finished or delivered invoices. An invoice factoring business will go through and check each invoice you want to factor in to ensure that it has been discontinued or delivered. You will not be able to obtain an advance until you have a fully completed invoice.
3. Using Factoring Services for Long-term Contracts
A contract is not the same as an invoice. Many invoice factoring businesses will not advance your money if you have outstanding or ongoing contracts. A purchase order or agreement billed a month in advance cannot be included for recurring billing.
4. Not Reading the Fine Print of Your Contract
It is critical to read a factoring agreement thoroughly. If you are unfamiliar with legal contracts, they may appear perplexing. The terms of the factoring agreement should match the conditions of the proposal you received. Still, there are often fee penalties or other forms of contingency costs for occurrences not included in the proposal. You must take the time to understand the fees you will be required to pay and how they are computed, which is detailed in the factoring agreement. Within the factoring agreement, there may also be limitations on the sorts of invoices submitted for finance.
5. Not Being Transparent to Your Customers About Your Partnership With a Factoring Service
Working with factoring services should always be disclosed, especially if you are a small firm. Making this information public does not affect the quality of the product you offer.
Furthermore, informing your clients that you work with a third-party collector prevents them from being surprised when we approach them. Failure to inform your clients that you are dealing with a third party may cause them to disregard communication from your factoring agency, extending the time it takes for your invoice to be paid.
Invoice factoring helps you to free up cash that has been trapped in your unpaid bills. This can help your company manage short-term cash flow shortages and perhaps help your company thrive.
Porter Capital offers capital solutions to businesses all over the U.S in various industries. Invoice factoring is an excellent alternative to get instant funds for your business. Get in touch with us today to know the specifics!

"La luz es como el agua" (light is like water) was inspired by Gabriel Garcia Marquez's short story of the same title. The composition is based on the process of reflection, transformation, and the nature of transcendence. In this case the electroacoustic part casts the acoustic qualities of the string quartet into alternative dimensions.
Colonel Gabriel de Laurent departed for the war intending to die. After a decade of bloodstained battlegrounds while fighting in Napoleon's army, Gabriel returns to the streets of Paris a shattered and haunted soul. Plagued by inner demons, he swallows the barrel of his flintlock pistol and pulls the trigger. But fate has a different plan. Ariah Larochelle is a survivor. Orphaned at twelve and victim to a devastating crime, she has learned to keep her back to walls and to trust no one. But when she finds a gravely injured soldier washed up on the River Seine, she's moved by compassion. In spite of her reservations, she rescues him from the icy water and brings him into her home. Now scarred ...
Much of our behavior is guided by our understanding of events. We perceive events when we observe the world unfolding around us, participate in events when we act on the world, simulate events that we hear or read about, and use our knowledge of events to solve problems. In this book, Gabriel A. Radvansky and Jeffrey M. Zacks provide the first integrated framework for event cognition and attempt to synthesize the available psychological and neuroscience data surrounding it. This synthesis leads to new proposals about several traditional areas in psychology and neuroscience including perception, attention, language understanding, memory, and problem solving. Radvansky and Zacks have written this book with a diverse readership in mind. It is intended for a range of researchers working within cognitive science including psychology, neuroscience, computer science, philosophy, anthropology, and education. Readers curious about events more generally such as those working in literature, film theory, and history will also find it of interest.
He'd Set His Sights On Vengeance, But Was Blindsided By Love Or lust. Or something mighty powerful. Whatever it was, Gabriel Hart felt pulled toward Trina McCabe, a feisty miss with the prettiest pout in the West. But he'd be damned if he'd let her sass and charms sidetrack him from getting his just revenge! A man with a mission, a man with a past, Gabriel Hart made Trina McCabe's pulse pound in echo to their train's thundering roar. Now, if only the former lawman could see how much he needed her, they'd be on board the Paradise Express!
Ripped from his family at an early age by a corporation known as Axis, a think tank of sorts, Gabriel is forced to perform complicated simulations and analogies for what he is told is the betterment of humankind. Gabriel is a genius, a person with a photographic memory and a brain like a sponge, absorbing every detail with perfect recall. Along the way, the focus of the work changed and some of his work was sold to the highest bidder resulting in death and destruction of people and buildings. Gabriel discovered this and vowed to stop it. He escaped from the confi nes of his forced imprisonment. Gabriel’s work generated a lot of money for Axis. With his departure, the income diminished, so ...

Retreating to an isolated cabin gives him time to think, to work and to heal. But when a very pregnant - and very beautiful woman ends up at his remote cabin during a blizzard, Gabriel realises he can't turn her away. For even though Laura is desperate, alone, and on the run, she's managed to bring Gabriel the gifts of passion, hope and life - he only needs the courage to reach for them.

imagine the best sunset you ever saw and then imagine that the sky always looked like that – it would cease to be beautiful, because it would be normal. beautiful things must, by definition, be rare – the universe existed for billions of years before we were born and will continue to exist for trillions of years after we die. like those rare desert plants that only blossom for one day every 150 years, the beauty of life lies in its brevity, and its rarity.
everlasting life would, were it possible, rob our lives of their beauty. so thank god that he doesn’t exist and that tomorrow we might die.
I am delighted to say that I have been given the enviable task of building a (WordPress) website for the fantastic progressive jazz band In Cahoots, lead by the inimitable guitarist and composer Phil Miller.
Its gonna take a week or two to put together as there is a plethora of fascinating material relating to the band who have their roots in the old Canterbury scene of the sixties and seventies and who’s line up has included some of the greatest jazz and progressive rock musicians going – including Lol Coxhill, Pip Pyle Fred Baker and Elton Dean.

Entertainment behind the scenes
Yes, tough guys can dance. Patrick Swayze did.
Swayze enjoyed a long career in Hollywood as a ruggedly handsome leading man. He could turn a head, or two. And he could dance, as in “Dirty Dancing,” his 1987 movie that made his star soar in Hollywood. There’s that old saying that tough guys don’t dance, but like any stereotype that is not true, and Swayze personified just how untrue it is. He was a classically trained dancer of ballet and jazz and Broadway musicals.
He was a lover, too, in 1990 romance “Ghost”, but more importantly, in real life. He stayed married to his wife Lisa Niemi for more than 30 years — now that’s tough, and classy.
And here’s the clincher: Yeah, he played many tough guys in movies and on television. And if you say, “well, that’s not real life, that’s Hollywood,” consider this: even after he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer, one of the most deadly forms of the disease, in January 2008, he went to work on television show, “The Beast.” He played through the pain, as they say in all those tough guy sports locker rooms.
Yeah, Patrick Swayze was a tough guy, but his special toughness was his soft heart.

“If you don’t mind, could you possibly turn off your phones, your cameras?” he said, with his trademark charm and winning smile, as he looked into the audience, a waving sea of smartphones. “Please don’t put this on YouTube – not everything has to be on YouTube. Sometimes you have got to keep things to yourselves, so let this just be between us.”
The crowd obediently complied (Coldplay fans seem to hail from a very law-abiding demographic). So, after those tiny, glowing screens had all disappeared, Coldplay duly performed their new song amid a blur of yellow and red lights, and for a few minutes we experienced a moment of transient creativity which felt unusual – and precious.
Welcome to a curious cultural wrinkle of our modern world. In recent years, there has been a growing tendency for marketing experts, politicians and artists to assume that if something is “valuable”, it needs to exist permanently in cyberspace, as well as in the real world. Trained to hunt for information on the web and communicate digitally, kids and young adults also increasingly assume that experiences only “matter” if they are shared online. To understand this, you need look no further than to Gwyneth Paltrow (the woman from whom Martin is now “consciously uncoupling”), who has built up a huge following with her lifestyle website Goop.
But as this hyperconnectivity spreads, it is also creating an occasional reaction: precisely because so much information and activity is now rushing into cyberspace, experiences which are “real”, “live” and “exclusive” can sometimes feel doubly valuable, even to young(ish) rock fans.
The main reason why Martin made his appeal last week, for example, was that Coldplay have not actually released their new song yet; protecting intellectual property rights is part of this game, just as theatres typically ban people from filming plays or movies. But I suspect that there was a second reason why he made his appeal: he is savvy enough to realise that, sometimes, it pays to look intimate.
A couple of decades ago, rock bands generally made their money by selling piles of records and performing in gigantic stadiums; mass access was crucial. These days, music is so commoditised that the really big revenues come through cutting deals with sponsors to sell images, music and a sense of access and exclusive experience. While Coldplay were in New York, they only did two small gigs – one of which was a private performance for Citigroup – and when they arrived at their “public” event, they went backstage to chat with potential sponsors (which they did with extraordinary professionalism and charm) before appearing on stage.
It is not just in the music industry where this pattern is playing out. In theory, the rise of the internet should have put elite conferences out of business; after all, the idea of any corporate executive paying $15,000 – or $50,000 – to attend a conference organised by the Milken Institute in Los Angeles or the World Economic Forum in Davos seems bizarre in a cyber world. But elite conferences are flourishing precisely because executives feel that “real” interactions are so valuable. So too with book clubs, which might seem an anachronism in a digital world, where people can always read reviews and chat to their friends online, but are more popular than ever. And live music festivals are benefiting from the same principle, as face-to-face experiences become more valuable – even among young people.
This does not mean that everyone is going to the extreme of banning smartphones; for most performers, particularly in the rock world, that is a step too far, since the idea is alien to the young. But Coldplay are certainly not alone. Last year, at concerts in New York and London, Prince issued “purple rules” banning phones and cameras. The actor and singer Zooey Deschanel has done the same. So has Björk, who told fans they should “not be preoccupied with recording the show”, and The Savages, who say that, “the use of phones to film and take pictures during a gig prevents all of us from totally immersing ourselves.” Indie band Yeah Yeah Yeahs have been even more explicit, posting signs at their concerts saying, “Please do not watch the show through a screen on your smart device/camera . . . PUT THAT SHIT AWAY as a courtesy to the person behind you.”
As phraseology goes, that might be a trifle stark but it is a potent reminder that cultural trends do not always go in one direction and can spawn some surprising reactions. I would hazard a bet that in the next couple of years this sentiment could spread, as a new generation discovers that sometimes it can feel sweet just to live in the (real) moment and emerge with nothing but vague memories, which can then be edited in our minds with a shifting narrative, and without a permanent digital record over which we tend to have less and less control.

Some of the charities are big and some are small churches or 501(c)(3)s.

We use personality theories to explain why people may think, feel or act in the way that they do.
For example, we can make assumption about the relationship between behaviour and personality such as ‘fat people are jolly’, or ‘lean people are mean’. These theories develop from social interactions.
However, we seem to over-estimate the stability of people’s personalities over time, and consequently such implicit personality theories may not be inaccurate.
Influence on the counsellor
The problem with implicit theory is that it is implicit. If it is introduced into the counselling process somewhat whimsically without attempting to integrate it to theory, then problems can arise. Also, such theories are often incorrect, inconsistent and contradictory since they evolve in a haphazard way, often discard contrary information, and are often not put to the test. The counsellor’s own implicit theories can also impact on the counselling process if they do not fit with their adopted formal theory.
Different approaches to counselling have differing philosophies as to the origin of behaviours (internal v external). This can result in difficulties for the client if the counsellor is not fully aware of discrepancies between their choice of therapy and their own implicit theory.
The counsellor must prepare for counselling be exploring assumptions about different possible causes of behaviour and should be willing to draw on different theories when seeking to explain a client’s behaviour.

(Signal Kitchen, digital download)
Villanelles fans have been waiting for the band's next full-length album, Blue Heart Attack, for about four years now. In that time, the Burlington quartet has teased with the occasional single release and the even more occasional leaking of album details. As of March, the word from front man Tristan Baribeau was that the album was finished and slated for a fall release — on vinyl, no less. But as winter looms nearer, the album has yet to materialize. Instead, the band has pulled a fast one, this week releasing an EP of new material called No Drinks on Me. Cut to confused fans and music journalists crying out in unison, "WTF, Villanelles?!"
The five-song EP was recorded earlier this year at Rebel Yell, the Northeast Kingdom recording studio/artists' retreat owned and operated by the folks behind Burlington studio/rock club Signal Kitchen. It's also available exclusively as a download through SK's Soundcloud page, which marks a new experiment for the ever-industrious studio as a pseudo-label. As for Blue Heart Attack, it is likely to be released next year on local imprint Future Fields. In the meantime, No Drinks is more than adequate consolation for those pining for a new Villanelles full-length.
On their 2011 EP, Kiss My Grits, Villanelles ratcheted up the rock, delivering a far louder and more muscular sound than the hazy, soft-hued tones from their 2010 self-titled debut. While we won't know in which direction the band will veer on Blue Heart Attack — which, technically speaking, is the natural follow-up to Grits — on No Drinks the band splits the difference. The EP's four originals — plus a cover of "Sick" by Supergrass — are contemplative and wandering, punctuated with flurries of indie-rock bombast and shaded by Baribeau's wry wordplay.
Opener "Astronaut" builds on a moody staccato riff over which Baribeau promises, in his sweet, earnest tenor, "I will always be your astronaut / If you'll always be my moon." Then the band launches into orbit with driving guitars and drums flecked with a twinkling lead guitar riff.
"Personal Clubhouse" is a bottom-heavy, Pixies-ish head-bobber that harks, in both style and tone, to mid-1990s alt-rock. The title track moseys and meanders as the band's signature indie jangle morphs into a reggae-ish lilt colored with chiming organ and blooming vocal harmonies. "I'm dumb and jaded / I can't stop thinkin' about the end of the line," Baribeau confesses against a shifting backdrop of shimmering guitars. The EP closes on "Bedroom Rug," which sails into smooth yacht rock as the band stretches out gently over seven breezy minutes.
It's hard to say that No Drinks on Me was worth the wait, only because we didn't know we were waiting for it. Still, packed with surprises and typical Villanelles-styled sonic chicanery, the EP marks the welcome return of one of Burlington's most beloved, if elusive, bands.
No Drinks on Me by Villanelles is available at soundcloud.com/signalkitchen. The band plays an EP release show at Signal Kitchen in Burlington this Friday, November 20.


The Bakers Association of Zimbabwe (BAZ )wants the Government to extend the period it granted them to import flour and to contract farmers to grow more wheat this winter season to boost local supplies.
BAZ said its members were faced with challenges that have seen the sector operating 35 percent below capacity.
The association voiced concern over a US$3,1 million legacy debt for forex payments to foreign suppliers which they said Government should assist in settling to continue accessing raw materials.
The bakers appeared before the Senate Thematic Committee on Peace and Security, which was chaired by Mr Charles Moyo, last week.
The bakers were represented by their president, Mr Dennis Wata, vice presidents Mr Lucky Zinyama and Nyasha Maringazuva Mhizha and former president Mr Ngoni Mazango.
Presenting their oral evidence to the committee, Mr Zinyama said bakers wanted to produce affordable bread, but were failing to do so because their production costs were high.
Most inputs were imported and this was pushing up the price of bread, while demand was declining because fewer people could afford to buy a loaf.
“We feel the problem is beyond the industry. The economy is not where it is supposed to be,” he said.
Mr Mhizha said after fuel price were increased in January bakers received a commitment that they would receive fuel rebates but they have not received them to date.
“When the forex debt was assumed by the RBZ, it was at a rate of 1:1 now we have moved from 1:1 to the current interbank rate which is so big that our expenses have multiplied.
“We cannot afford as bakers to settle the debt at that rate. Our creditors are no longer patient because of the long period we have taken to settle the debt,” he said.
Mr Wata said three quarters of bakers’ raw materials were imported and they required about $4 million to make two million loaves of bread per day.
Mr Mazango appealed to the Government to assist in liquidating the legacy debt.
“We are appealing to Government to help in liquidating the legacy debt so we can unlock supply from outside the country. The list of our raw materials that require foreign currency is endless. We require machinery and spares. Most of our members are using old equipment.
“As a country we should not be importing wheat. We should be capacitating farmers so they are able to grow the required wheat. Every year we need about 450 000 tonnes of wheat,” he said.
Mr Mazango expressed concern that some farmers were experiencing power challenges and failing to irrigate.
The legislators queried why the bakers were charging the same price for bread, yet their operating models were different.
Bakers said they were not in control of retail prices as these were determined by retailers.

“Essentially, the word around here is grateful…” Chris Martin at his piano, backed by the Royal Academy of Music, opening the encore for the night with a cover of “White Christmas”. I’ve written quite a few articles about Coldplay in the past, so any who have read them would know that they are one of my favorite bands (along with Depeche Mode and Pixies). I hadn’t seen them live since their show in San Jose in April of 2012, so it has been a while. They took 2013 off as far as performing live goes, and have been in the studio working on new material. The band has always used their gifts and successes in music to help others, and one of the organizations that they’ve been a big supporter of is Kids Company in the UK. And, as per tradition, they tend to do a special show each year for Christmas and/or New Year’s, so this year it was another of their “Under 1 Roof” multi-artist events. Sharing the bill with them this year was Lily Allen, Ricky Gervais reprising his character from The Office performing as David Brent and Foregone Conclusion, magician Dynamo, and Rizzle Kicks, with Fearne Cotton hosting the evening, along with some surprise guests like Robbie Williams and Tim Rice-Oxley from Keane.

Special Charity Holiday Concert Event December 19th “Kids Company and Coldplay Present: Under 1 Roof” (Coldplay, Ricky Gervais as David Brent And Foregone Conclusion, Lily Allen, Dynamo and Rizzle Kicks)
As is somewhat of a tradition, it was announced this month that Coldplay will be doing a special charity concert in London to benefit one of their favorite organizations, Kids Company, who provide practical, emotional, and educational support to vulnerable inner-city children and young people in London and Bristol. The special event, “Under 1 Roof: A Night For Kids Company”, will be held on December 19th at Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, London. Joining Coldplay on stage will be Ricky Gervais, in character from The Office’s David Brent as David Brent and Foregone Conclusion, Lily Allen, magician Dynamo, and hip hop duo Rizzle Kicks, all hosted by Fearne Cotton.

Coldplay Xyloband (Light Up Wristband) Reanimated By Concert Video, Comes Back To Life… “Is There Anybody Out There?”
So I was having dinner with a friend last night, telling her about Saturday’s Coldplay concert in San Jose (see “Coldplay at the HP Pavilion | San Jose, CA | 4/28/2012″). I had mentioned that after the show, I met Jason Regler, the inventor of the “xylobands”, the wrist bands handed out to concert goers to wear during the performance, which are activated over RF signal to light up (and light up with different flashing patterns) for different songs, at different times during the concert. These were first introduced for the “American Express Unstaged” concert in Madrid, which was directed by Anton Corbijn (see “Coldplay “Unstaged” at Plaza de Toros | Madrid, Spain | 10/26/2011″). In any event, since my friend has never seen Coldplay in concert, I thought I’d send her a link to one of the videos I shot during one of those sequences, so she could see just how awesome these are when employed during a show. That’s when a very strange thing happened, which I thought I’d share with the readers of the Rock Subculture Journal… [Read more…]
Last night, April 28th, was the second in two back-to-back performances by Coldplay at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, CA – part of their official Mylo Xyloto world tour. This was the sixth time I’ve seen Coldplay in the past six months (having seen their AMEX Unstaged show in Madrid, Spain in October, some of the special European tour dates at the O2 in London and the Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy in December, and the special iHeartRadio charity gig at Club Nokia and the Jimmy Kimmel Live! block party in Los Angeles in February. As such, I don’t think I’m in a position to do a “normal” sort of review at this point, as I tend to subjectively compare to all of the other shows I’ve attended in the past year and beyond… but as I’ve come to expect, with last night’s gig, Coldplay put on a high energy show with a great mix of hits and new material. Watching many in the crowd seeing the show with “fresh eyes”, it was certain that the nearly 18,000 in attendance came away having shared an awesome experience with this fantastic concert.
August 3, 2011, I caught a special one off Coldplay show benefiting MusicCares at UCLA – the Samsung AT&T Summer Krush Concert Series. This was another great Coldplay show, and I had the benefit of VIP tickets and some special perks and front row in the seated section. Two of the songs were recorded for the Jimmy Kimmel Show!, which aired later the same night (with some funny video with Jimmy Kimmel at the very bottom). [Read more…]
