As I was putting the finishing touches on this week’s posting, I was saddened by the news of the death of my good friend Cardinal Avery Dulles. Cardinal Dulles, a Jesuit, was the first American-born theologian and non-bishop to be elevated to the rank of cardinal. He died at the infirmary at Fordham University, where he taught for many years.
Cardinal Dulles was the son of President Eisenhower’s Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, and the nephew of Eisenhower’s CIA director, Allen Welsh Dulles, and his conversion to Catholicism from such a prominent Presbyterian family was just one remarkable chapter in the story of his remarkable walk with the Lord.
My friendship with Cardinal Dulles goes back to the early 1970s, when he was teaching at Woodstock College, a Jesuit seminary. Later, we taught together at Catholic University.
Cardinal Dulles was one of the most brilliant and intelligent theologians in the history of the Church in the United States.
We were privileged to have him visit us last year when he gave a talk at St. John’s Seminary, which was one of his last public appearances. He suffered for many years from the aftermath of his battle with polio when he was a young adult. For the rest of life he walked with a cane.
Last Friday, I was invited to Merrimack College. The president, the provincial of the Augustinians and their board had me over for lunch.
It was a great honor when they announced at the luncheon the establishment of two full scholarships to Merrimack College in my name.
The scholarships will be awarded to graduates of the Blessed Stephen Bellesini Academy in Lawrence.
The Bellesini Academy is a Catholic middle school run by the Augustinians dedicated to providing education to boys of limited financial means living in Lawrence.
They also showed a nice film presentation about the Augustinian presence in the archdiocese that goes back to the time of Bishop Cheverus.
The Augustinians have a long history of association with the archdiocese, and they have made great contributions. The order founded St. Augustine’s and St. Monica’s parishes. Merrimack College was founded by Cardinal Cushing 60 years ago, after World War II. He wanted to provide college education for the young men coming back from World War II and so he asked the Holy Cross Fathers to start Stonehill College in the southern part of the diocese, and the Augustinians to start Merrimack College in the north. Since its foundation, the college has graduated nearly 22,000 students.
At various times during the years, I meet with our seminarians. It was thought that instead of always meeting with the whole group of them, we would have smaller groups come here to the cathedral for a more personal gathering. Last Friday was the first in that series of meetings.
The seminarians came, we had Evening Prayer together and then a meal during which we had the opportunity to dialogue on many different issues — the Church, the seminary, etc.
On Saturday, I went to Immaculate Conception in Lowell. It happened to be the Feast of St. Nicholas who is the patron saint of the pastor there — Father Nick Sannella. Of course we celebrated the Sunday Mass but I did comment on the fact that the Feast of St. Nicholas is one of the Advent celebrations.
The church was filled — it’s a very large church, holding close to 2,000 people. It’s one of the largest and most beautiful churches in the area, I would say perhaps in all of New England. Anywhere else it would be a cathedral.
Under the leadership of Father Sannella, they have done a lot of restoration work on the buildings. They also have a school that they are working very hard to support.
Father Sannella gave me a reproduction of one of the stained glass windows in the church. It is a unique image: it depicts the Madonna holding the child Jesus who is, in turn, holding a chalice and a host — a very Eucharistic theme.
On Sunday I went to St. Andrew’s in Billerica to celebrate their 140th anniversary.
Much like Sacred Hearts in Bradford, which I saw the next day, it was just filled with young families and young children. It’s very encouraging to see that.
The pastor, Father Michael Parise, is doing such wonderful work to build up the local community and provide many opportunities for the youth and adults of the parish to be actively involved in the life of the Church.
They had a wonderful choir, and they were particularly anxious for me to see the restorations they have done to the church, which came out beautifully.
That evening, I went to Immaculate Conception in Everett for confirmations for the Haitian community there.
Monday, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, I celebrated a Mass followed by a reception for the Yawkey Foundation to formally thank them for the $15 million contribution they are making to the Campaign for Catholic Schools for the Catholic Charities Youth Center at St. Peter’s and Pope John Paul II Catholic Academy in Dorchester-Mattapan.
The Mass featured performances by two groups of students from Pope John Paul II Academy.
Before the start of the Mass, one group of students performed an interpretative dance of the Nativity. It was very nicely done.
During the Mass, another group of students served as the choir. They also played some songs on the tin whistle and the violin.
I know everyone was so happy have the students present and hear them perform.
That evening, I went to Sacred Hearts in Bradford. They recently celebrated their 100th anniversary, and unfortunately, I was unable to go for that particular day. The church has been beautifully restored. It was filled with young people and young families.
Once again, it was encouraging to see “standing room only” on a Monday night in a church. Father Robert Conole and Father Hal Obayashi are doing great work with the large number of families at the parish.
On Tuesday, Jason Evert addressed the high school students at Cathedral High School. I introduced him and gave them a blessing.
He communicates a Christian vision of sexuality and helps people to have an understanding of the importance of the virtue of chastity.
We are very lucky to have him coming to so many groups in the diocese. I know Maryann Luthin from our Pro-Life office has been helping to facilitate his visit.
After a number of scheduling conflicts, I was very happy to visit with the Missionary Sisters of the Society of Mary and celebrate an Advent Mass with them.
I first met Marist sisters when I was the bishop of the Virgin Islands and they were a great help to the people there.
Here in Boston, they have many ministries and programs, but their chief ministry is prayer. I was so grateful to hear when they assured me of their continued prayers for the archdiocese and its archbishop.
After the Mass, we shared a meal and stories of life in the missions. When I mentioned my trip this summer to Papua, New Guinea, where classmates of mine and other friars had a mission, a number of the sisters told me that they had also served God’s people there.
Here I am with the all the sisters who had worked in the Papua, New Guinea missions. I am holding the picture of the Red Madonna, a mother with her child from the highlands there that I have chosen for my Christmas card this year.
When I spoke with Sister Catherine, who worked in those missions for 50 years, it turns out that we knew many of the same friars!
Before leaving, Sister Judith presented me with a remarkable lead crystal cross that casts a rainbow when light shines on it. It will be perfect for a window in my office.
That evening I went to the wake of Tina DiDomenico, the 97-year-old mother of Sal DiDomenico. She was buried yesterday from St. Francis Church in Cambridge.
Sal and his wife Marie are great supporters of the archdiocese. They have a wonderful family. They are also very involved in the Sts. Cosmas and Damian festival that is held every year in the East Cambridge.
The whole extended family was at the wake. Tina lived a long and beautiful life, may she rest in peace.
On Wednesday evening, I attended the Sears Road Dinner Club, which is organized David Fubini, director of the McKinsey & Company which last year provided the Archdiocese a pro-bono review to improve the efficiency and productivity of our organization. We are so grateful to Mr. Fubini and all those involved in that effort which is bearing such wonderful fruit for our Archdiocese.
The dinners are an opportunity to bring leaders of the community together to talk about local, national and world issues together. It was an enjoyable evening and I was grateful for their invitation.

Dungeness was certainly the golden trip of January. Despite facing the harsh winds (I didn’t wear a skirt this time though!) and freezing gales on only 4 hours sleep, it was a star trip.
We met Jono Forgham (http://littlehadhambirding.blogspot.com) and Graeme in the car park by the nuclear power station and headed out to the The Patch. I found a nice winder buffer to the side of the bird hide and huddled here whilst the others scanned the sea with their scopes. In one of my warmer moments I joined them scanning with my binoculars and was lucky enough to get my first lifer of the day – a Red-throated Diver. Stuart unfortunately missed it as it was flying and it is extremely hard to explain to other people where birds over the sea are! Another two lifers were sighted on that stretch of the sand, a Razorbill and a gorgeous Kittiwake. After a scope was narrowly saved from smashing to the ground in a particularly hefty gust of wind, we headed over to the fishing boats to try and spot the Caspian Gull and Glacuous Gull that had been seen there. We had no luck with the Glaucous, but the Caspian Gull was spotted sitting in amongst others gulls. Unfortunately before I could get a look a car came by and disturbed them, but the gull was gracious enough to fly past about 10 minutes later and so became the fourth lifer for the day. The winds had blown Gannets and Guillemots closer to the shore so there were some spectacular views of these two species. We decided numb limbs were a sign we should go and headed round to the RSPB reserve, where coffee and chocolate was had to help with the warming up. On the road up to the reserve we had a delightful view of over 70 Tree Sparrows flocking from bush to bush, another lifer! Some lazy birdwatching then ensued from the visitors' centre, where a pair of Oystercatchers were hanging out on an island. Walking around the reserve a Stonechat was spotted to the side of the path but the best view was to come 5 minutes later when we rounded a corner and saw the unmistakeable head of a Great White Egret. The next lifer to appear on the horizon was a lovely Merlin swooping over us. A trip to the ARC Hide (first time as we managed to miss it on the previous visit) gave an amazing view of a Bittern flying in and then showing itself on the end of the pool. An excellent spot from Stuart lead to the next lifer for both of us - 'I've got a weird duck in my scope and can't ID it...'. The duck turned out to be a female Long-tailed Duck, well done Stuart! A variety of other ducks were spotted and a few Barnacle Geese on the journey to the next place. I unfortunately then had to miss out the next spot as I was exhausted but Stuart had a great time looking for birds at dusk and got his first Mistle Thrush.
The day ended rather drastically as I nearly broke Stuart's rib when we were trying to jump start the car. I haven't driven in 6 years, I don't remember which pedal the brake is...and when I'm driving towards a wall at high speed, I am going to slam my foot down on it when I finally get told which one it is! Ooops.
7) Caspian Gull -NEW FOR LIFE LIST!
8) Red-throated Diver - NEW FOR LIFE LIST!
9) Razorbill - NEW FOR LIFE LIST!
10) Kittiwake - NEW FOR LIFE LIST!
18) Tree Sparrow - NEW FOR LIFE LIST!
29) Great White Egret - NEW FOR LIFE LIST!
31) Merlin - NEW FOR LIFE LIST!
36) Long-tailed Duck - NEW FOR LIFE LIST!
My year list for 2012 comes to 85.

Tuberculosis (TB) kills approximately 3 million people per year. An important characteristic of M. tuberculosis is its ability to survive within human macrophages, and mycobacterial cell wall components are plausible mediators of this effect. However, little is known about the role of specific cell wall components in either mycobacterial survival within host macrophages or modulation of macrophage responses to mycobacterial infection. In our laboratory, the recent generation of a M. tuberculosis transposon-mediated mutant library provides a unique opportunity to systematically investigate these issues. Our overall objective is to understand the role of M. tuberculosis cell wall components in the pathogenesis of TB. Our hypothesis is that M. tuberculosis cell wall components modulate macrophage immune responses, and that alteration of the cell wall will affect macrophage responses to mycobacteria.
The specific aim of this R03 proposal is to characterize human macrophage responses to a) infection with M. tuberculosis transposon-mediated mutants predicted to have alterations in the cell wall, and b)stimulation with cell wall fractions from those mutants. Mutants with disruptions in genes known or predicted to be involved in biosynthesis of sulfolipids, lipoarabinomannan, mycolic acids, and phthiocerol dimycocerosate will be used. Host cell cytokine production, chemokine production, apoptosis, IFN gamma-mediated responses, and toll-like receptor-mediated responses will be characterized, and mycobacterial survival and growth within macrophages will be determined. This research will lead to a better understanding of how mycobacterial cell wall components affect bacteria-host cell interactions, and will facilitate identification of new anti-tuberculosis drug targets and vaccine strategies. If cell wall components contribute to M. tuberculosis-induced immune suppression, then evaluation of appropriate mutant strains as vaccines would be warranted. These studies will also serve as a foundation for development of rapid in vitro screening systems to evaluate the effects of other M. tuberculosis genes or cellular components on targeted host immune responses. Finally, new information from the proposed self-contained pilot studies will serve as the foundation for future comprehensive dissection of macrophage response pathways affected by specific cell wall components. ? ?

The social media side of the world bursted with discussion when Chinese rapper Al Rocco and his model girlfriend Naomi announced their breakup last week. As the couple had never shied away from showing PDA, the split did come as a shock.
A few days after the couple announced their split, a netizen posted a viral story of how Naomi has had a poor history of cheating, and once tried to hook up with Edison Chen (陳冠希). While participating on the Chinese variety Road to the Runway <天使之路> (in which Al Rocco also made a guest appearance), the netizen claimed that Naomi had “unclear” relationships with many of the staff members on the show.
To prove a point, the netizen “exposed” various pictures of Naomi with Edison, as well as a screen shot of their alleged message exchange. The netizen’s story quickly caught the attention of the Internet and went viral, and it negatively impacted Naomi’s image and career, even affecting her private life.
On December 6, a close friend of Naomi’s posted a long essay on Weibo to defend her. The friend said Naomi had received a lot of hate messages and harassment when the rumors broke out. It took an emotional toll on Naomi, and she attempted suicide.
Naomi’s friend then shared a picture of Naomi receiving treatment in the emergency room—it turns out that Naomi had attempted to take her own life by slitting her wrist.
poor girl, even if all the news is true, people shouldn’t tarnish her name like that. this world has too many haters wanting to see people go down.

Taxes are a fact of life, and they affect nearly everything you do. Earning your income, making purchases, buying your dream home, investing for your future, saving for your children’s higher education – nearly all of the things that are important to you have tax implications.
Those tax-related consequences can be costly and, if not planned properly, can consume an increasing piece of your financial bottom line. Canadians often are paying far too much in taxes, without ever realizing it. Fortunately, professional tax planning and analysis can help to ensure you’re paying the correct amount of tax, saving you from costly over payment mistakes.
The Income Tax Act is especially applicable here. While it was created specifically to ensure that everyone pays their fair share, it also allows you to analyze and evaluate your finances to minimize that tax liability. By working with a tax planning professional, you can organize your financial affairs to legally minimize the amount of tax you’re paying. That is the primary objective of tax planning.
Taxes aren’t just something you should worry about in April – the smartest approach is to recognize and evaluate tax implications year round. The Act is often complex, with tax rules changing nearly every year. Income exclusions, key tax credits, retirement contribution options, investment rules – it’s hard to stay on top of the latest tax applications of the Act.
At Precision Wealth, we understand the tax aspects of the plans we recommend, and we stay on top of the tax implications of the investments we use. We work alongside your current tax professional, or we can refer you to excellent professionals who are able help round out your financial strategy.

The 2012 Ford Focus will get 40 mpg. But that's only if you buy a Super Fuel Economy package that increases mileage by 5% and on the smaller Ford Fiesta raises the cost by more than $2,000.
Ford says the new 2012 Ford Focus that ships shortly gets up to 40 mpg in highway driving. So does the 2011 Hyundai Elantra. But there's a difference: Only a fraction of the Focuses sold will actually get 40 mpg. On one trim line (Focus SE), you'll add a special Super Fuel Economy package, as an option, and that model gets an estimated 40 mpg highway. On the smaller 2011 Ford Fiesta, that 40 mpg Super Fuel Economy package runs $2,765. The Focus efficiency package pricing hasn't yet been set. Without it, you'll get about 38 mpg in highway driving, a difference of about 5%. For the Hyundai Elantra, all models get 40 mpg. We estimimae you'll need at 100,000 to 150,000 miles of highway driving to get back the cost premium.

The more important the topics we are concerned about, the likelier we are to tell ourselves and one another over and over how wrong, dangerous, malicious, and evil our enemies are, with the comforting corollary that we and our allies are right, good, brave, and heroic.
Place reasonable limits on your involvement. Users with families must not allow social media to encroach on time they should be spending with their loved ones. Single adults living alone may have more freedom to spend time on social media, but unplugging and connecting with people in the real world is important for them as well.
Avoid outrage “hot spots.” When you checked your feeds, did any of your social media friends or follows stand out to you as frequent sharers of outrage or polemics? Particularly the sort of outrage or polemics most likely to rile you (either in the same direction or in the opposite direction)?
Stop and think. The next time an outrageous meme or news story crosses your feed, what should you do?
Consider the source. Fake news — I don’t mean actual satire via legit humor sites like TheOnion.com, but so-called “satire” or, more frankly, lies via dodgy sites like DailyCurrant.com — has become a weirdly prolific cottage industry. Then there are stories at tabloids like DailyMail.co.uk that often have a basis in fact, but can’t be relied upon, particularly regarding anything in any way controversial or disputed.
Seek out — and share — valuable, non-outrageous content. Given the social-media advantage enjoyed by bad news, it takes extra effort to find positive content worth sharing.

After crossing the Murgia plateau, you will stay in the Itria valley, characterized by a flourishing vegetation where olive trees stand. These are cultivated in farms called Masserie, small typical local stone fortresses. Coasts are marked by long, sandy beaches, dunes and protected natural reserves.
There are several traces of old Messapi civilizations, rock settlements, castles and not-to-be-missed trulloes made with drystone techniques. In the last days you will head south to the Salento. Sun, sea, wind. Nature strikes in the first place, when one gets to this land stretch in balance between two seas. The cities and inland towns expressions of the unique Lecce Baroque with Messapi and Salento Grecìa can still be seen. Its language, songs and feasts still show the culture of Magna Graecia.

Your Foot and Ankle Specialists!
Keeping you active and on your feet is our first priority. Our group of doctors has a combined experience of over fifty years.
Did you know that a person’s foot structure is just as generic as eye color? That’s why custom orthotics are so important. They are a prescription for your feet to support and gently reposition the heel, arch, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones in the feet, to give you better support, stability, and comfort. Your feet may not be one of a kind, but your custom orthotics are!
Your feet are the foundation of your body, taking you where you need to go. We strive to improve your foot health by utilizing the latest treatment techniques and procedures. Walk into our office, and walk out with improved foot and ankle health. Our Grand Junction podiatrists look forward to caring for you!
From routine checkups to treatments for surgery, Grand Valley Foot and Ankle Center, PC is equipped to handle all your podiatric needs. To help you understand your options, we’ve included descriptions of some of our leading services on this page.
A foot or ankle sprain is a soft tissue injury. Most often, a sprain occurs when an injury pulls, stretches, or tears the ligaments that connect bone to bone. A fracture is actually a break in the bone.
Injuries are the most common causes of foot and ankle sprains and fractures. Many fractures and sprains occur during sports or can be caused by simply tripping or stumbling on uneven ground.
The most common symptoms of a sprained or fractured foot or ankle include: pain, swelling, bruising and difficulty walking.
Rest—Rest the affected area. Stay off the injured foot or ankle until it can be fully evaluated.
To prevent sprains and fractures make sure you are wearing the proper footwear for your activity. Athletic shoes should be replaced yearly. Running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 400 miles. Always warm up before your activity and avoid walking or running on uneven surfaces.
A bunion is a joint deformity on the joint at the base of the big toe (the metatarsophalangeal -MTP) joint. A bunion forms when the bone or tissue at the big toe joint moves out of place. The toe is forced to bend toward the others, causing an often painful lump of bone on the foot. Because this joint carries a lot of the body’s weight while walking, bunions can cause extreme pain if left untreated.
Bunions form when the normal balance of forces that is exerted on the joints and tendons of the foot becomes disrupted. They are usually caused by the way we walk and our inherited foot type or our shoes. Wearing shoes that are too tight or cause the toes to be squeezed together is also a common factor, one that explains the high prevalence of the disorder among women.
If a bunion is causing persistent pain, please make an appointment to see one of our experienced doctors. Bunions tend to get larger and more painful if left untreated, making non-surgical treatment less of an option.
Flat feet are relatively normal. They are a postural deformity in which the arches of the foot collapse, with the entire sole of the foot coming into complete or near-complete contact with the ground.
A common and usually painless condition, flat feet can occur when the arches don’t develop during childhood. In other cases, flat feet develop after an injury or from the simple wear-and-tear stresses of age.
Flat feet can sometimes contribute to problems in your ankles and knees because the condition can alter the alignment of your legs. If you aren’t having pain, no treatment is usually necessary for flat feet.
Diabetes is the inability to manufacture or properly use insulin, and it impairs the body’s ability to convert sugars, starches, and other foods into energy. The long-term effects of elevated blood sugar (hyperglycemia) can lead to serious damage to the eyes, heart, kidney, nerves, and feet.
Podiatrists play a key role in helping patients manage diabetes successfully and avoid foot-related complications.
A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound and it is commonly located on the bottom of the foot.
Anyone who has diabetes can develop a foot ulcer. Ulcers form due to a combination of factors, such as lack of feeling in the foot, poor circulation, foot deformities, irritation (such as friction or pressure), and trauma, as well as duration of diabetes.
Once an ulcer is noticed, call our office immediately to schedule an appointment. Foot ulcers in patients with diabetes should be treated to reduce the risk of infection and amputation, improve function and quality of life, and reduce health-care costs.
Heel pain can occur in the front, back, or bottom of the heel. It’s generally the result of faulty biomechanics (walking gait abnormalities) that place too much stress on the heel bone and the soft tissues that attach to it.
Heel Spurs: A bony growth on the underside of the heel bone. Heel spurs result from strain on the muscles and ligaments of the foot, by stretching of the long band of tissue that connects the heel and the ball of the foot, and by repeated tearing away of the lining or membrane that covers the heel bone.
The condition occurs when the plantar fascia is strained over time beyond its normal extension, causing the soft tissue fibers of the fascia to tear or stretch at points along its length; this leads to inflammation, pain, and possibly the growth of a bone spur where the plantar fascia attaches to the heel bone. The inflammation may be aggravated by shoes that lack appropriate support, especially in the arch area, and by the chronic irritation that sometimes accompanies an athletic lifestyle. Resting provides only temporary relief.
Corns and calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop to protect that area from irritation. They occur when something rubs against the foot repeatedly or causes excess pressure against part of the foot. If the thickening of skin occurs on the bottom of the foot, it’s called a callus. If it occurs on the top of the foot or on a toe it’s called a corn.
Corns and calluses typically have a rough, dull appearance. They may be raised or rounded, and they can be hard to differentiate from warts. Corns and calluses may become painful if they get too thick.
Athlete’s foot is a skin disease caused by a fungus, usually occurring between the toes. The fungus most commonly attacks the feet because shoes create a warm, dark, and humid environment, which encourages fungus growth. The warmth and dampness of areas around swimming pools, showers, and locker rooms are also breeding grounds for fungi. Because the infection was common among athletes who used these facilities frequently, the term “athlete’s foot” became popular.
Symptoms of athlete’s foot include: dry skin, itching and burning, scaling, inflammation, and blisters.
The organisms that cause athlete’s feet can spread to the rest of your foot as well as other parts of the body. If proper foot hygiene does not clear up your athlete’s foot within two weeks, contact our office to schedule an appointment.

If you have been reading the blog for long and taken a look at some of our previous meal plans, you’ll see that our family adores soups! Rather, I adore them because they are so versatile, easy to prepare and you can make them stretch over several meals, making them very economical.
Although I’ve been making soups continuously this past winter, I found a soup recipe that has totally changed everything!
In pursuit of health (and lowering our grocery budget), I have been trying to make homemade chicken stock more frequently, but it was always that one more thing I have to do, and so often I would forget about it or just not bother, and I would go back to buying store-bought chicken broth in a pinch.
I read Jenny’s blog, Nourished Kitchen, which has great information about bone broths, stocks, and wonderful whole-foods based recipes. In it, she mentioned that she wanted her family to start consuming more stock as well, and this was the recipe that she tried! It is SO easy to do, and it makes a continuous pot of soup, simmering slowly 24 hours a day, for you to take from it as you wish.
Simply place a whole chicken carcass, along with the seasoning and veggie scraps inside of your crockpot, top it with filtered water, set it on low, cover and you’re done. Keep this soup cooking for an entire week, and when you need broth for soups, stews, cooking your grains, or simply a warm snack, you’re all set! Simply replenish the broth that you remove with fresh filtered water, and it will keep on cooking!
You can start consuming the broth after 24 hours, and I’ve found that between 24-48 hours, it will still retain much of it’s gelatin. In her article, Jenny mentions that she keeps hers simmering for about 7 days, and that it reached peak flavor on about day 5. I’ve found mine to be a shorter time – I usually let mine simmer for about 5 days, and I feel like it’s best after about day 3. By the end of your stock, the bones should crush easily between your fingers, meaning that you’ve removed as many of the minerals and amino acids as possible.
Bone broth is a very easy and frugal first step in transitioning into a Traditional Foods Diet, not to mention the incredible health benefits!
For more info on bone broths, I highly recommend The Nourished Kitchen – there are a lot of whole food bloggers out there that have written about the benefits of broths, but Jenny has a wonderful series and I highly recommend her site!
And now on to our meal plan!
Wednesday – Taco Salad with ground, seasoned venison, homemade refried beans and all the yummy toppings.
Friday – Calzones with mozzarella, spinach, ground venison, tomato sauce and olives. I simply use a pizza crust recipe and it’s so easy and filling!

Excellent! I do the same thing. I cook that chicken carcass until it’s completely done for. And the broth is so rich and beautiful!
btw, I stopped by from the Frugal Days blog hop! Nice to find you! Can’t wait to look around some more! Lovely!
What a great idea – I put on a pot of stock today….maybe I should give it a few days and see how it develops! I’m hosting a weekly blog carnival specifically for soups, stocks and chowders, every Sunday! I would love you to come and post this recipe. Just stop by my blog on Sunday – the link will be up!
Just made chicken soup today, but cheated and added stock. Never thought to keep it going for such a long time!
it works really well, and if you keep it going but don’t take from it, then it becomes sooo rich and almost concentrated! so yummy and SO good for you!
I found you from Raising Arrows…. this is a great idea, and I have to say, the photo is wonderful. Nice to find you, and I’ll be following you now.
So I was making my perpetual soup and on my 4th day my lid shattered, glass fell into my soup! I was so bummed cause I had mighty plans for that broth. I thought I read to keep it covered, do I have a faulty crockpot lid or is it from keeping the lid on for several days without cooling down? I had it on low.

The Bermuda Triangle has cemented its status as one of the most mysterious places on Earth. Boats and planes have disappeared mysteriously from this region, and other pilots and boat captains have reported strange, unusual occurrences in the triangular area off the coast of Bermuda. But did you know that the Great Lakes are also home to a curious and puzzling patch of water in Lake Michigan that has also been said to lure ships and planes to a watery demise? It is known as The Lake Michigan Triangle.
The Lake Michigan Triangle’s southern point is at Benton Harbor, Michigan. From there, one side of the triangle extends north to Ludington, Michigan, and the other crosses the lake to Manitowoc, Wisconsin. In this area of the lake … actually a large, inland, freshwater sea … people have been reporting odd occurrences for more than one hundred years.
In 1891, the schooner, the Thomas Hume, set sail across Lake Michigan with a load of lumber. The ship never reached its destination. Despite being made of wood and carrying a load of wood, not debris from the schooner was ever found. The shipwreck of the Thomas Hume has yet to be discovered. It was as if the schooner simply vanished from the surface of Lake Michigan, along with its captain and seven crewmen.
Eleven people, all members of Benton Harbor’s House of David, boarded the Rosa Belle in 1921. A few days later, the boat was found bobbing upside down in the Lake Michigan waves. There were no signs of the eleven people. The ship had damage that appeared to have been caused by a collision with another boat, yet no other boat reported an accident. In fact, no debris from another boat with found. Neither were the bodies of the eleven people aboard the Rosa Belle. If the ship did flip over in a collision, as the damage indicates, what did it hit in the middle of Lake Michigan?
The mysterious and unexplained disappearance of Captain George R. Donner is among the more perplexing cases associated with the Lake Michigan Triangle. On the evening of April 28, 1937, Captain Donner safely guided his ship through the chilly Lake Michigan waters before retiring to his cabin for the night. Three hours later, a crewman went to wake the captain to let him know they were approaching the port. He found that the cabin had been locked from the inside but the captain was not inside. There was no sign of Captain Donner anywhere on the ship and no evidence that he left his cabin after going to bed. It was as though he vanished from his locked cabin.
Numerous reports of strange, unexplained lights seen above the waters of Lake Michigan have added to the supernatural reputation of the Lake Michigan Triangle. Other people have reported odd and sudden weather phenomena, like rogue waves and storms that pop up unexpectedly. Still others have commented that they felt a general uneasiness from time to time when travelling through the Lake Michigan Triangle. This has led to speculation that there is UFO activity centered on the lake, or that there is a weird and inexplicable electromagnetic field in the area. There are even people who believe that the triangle is some kind of time portal or portal to another dimension.
Northwest Flight 2501, carrying 58 people, set off from New York’s LaGuardia Airport in route to Seattle, Washington, on June 23, 1950. The flight path would take the plane over Lake Michigan before stopping in Minneapolis for a brief layover. As the plane entered the skies above Lake Michigan, about eighteen miles north of Benton Harbor, the pilot reported that they were encountering a strong electrical storm and he requested permission to descend to 2,500 feet. Soon after, the plane disappeared from radar screens. No wreck of the plane was found, despite search parties that dragged the lake bottom and used sonar to try to locate the plane. Oddly, about two hours after Flight 2501 disappeared from radar, two police officers reported seeing a bright red light hovering over Lake Michigan. They witnessed the strange light for ten full minutes.
Does Lake Michigan Conceal North America’s Stonehenge?
A baffling rock formation was discovered under the surface of Lake Michigan in 2007, leading to speculation that the Lake Michigan Triangle is hiding North America’s own version of Stonehenge. The discovery was made by Mark Holley, a professor of underwater archeology from Northwestern Michigan College. The site features a forty-foot ring of ancient stones found nearly fifty feet below the surface. One of the stones was even carved to look like a mastodon, an ice-age mammal that went extinct nearly 10,000 years ago.

Potocki-Lupski syndrome is a condition that results from having an extra copy (duplication) of a small piece of chromosome 17 in each cell. The duplication occurs on the short (p) arm of the chromosome at a position designated p11.2. This condition is also known as 17p11.2 duplication syndrome.
Infants with Potocki-Lupski syndrome may have weak muscle tone (hypotonia) and swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) that lead to feeding problems. Some affected babies do not grow and gain weight at the expected rate (described as failure to thrive), and children with this condition tend to be shorter and weigh less than their peers. About 40 percent of babies with Potocki-Lupski syndrome are born with a heart defect, which in some cases is life-threatening.
Babies and children with Potocki-Lupski syndrome have delayed development, including delayed speech and language skills and gross motor skills such sitting, standing, and walking. As they get older, affected individuals have intellectual disability, which is usually mild to moderate, and ongoing difficulties with speech. Potocki-Lupski syndrome is also associated with behavioral problems, which can include attention problems, hyperactivity, compulsive or impulsive behaviors, and anxiety. Many people with this condition have features of autism spectrum disorder, which affects social interaction and communication.
Other signs and symptoms of Potocki-Lupski syndrome can include vision and hearing problems, dental and skeletal abnormalities, and abnormal kidney development and function. Many affected individuals have problems with sleep, including short pauses in breathing during sleep (sleep apnea) and trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. The condition can also have subtle differences in facial features, including outside corners of the eyes that point downward (down-slanting palpebral fissures), a triangular face with a broad forehead and a small jaw (micrognathia), and widely spaced eyes (hypertelorism).
Potocki-Lupski syndrome affects an estimated 1 in 25,000 people worldwide. More than 50 affected individuals have been described in the medical literature.
Potocki-Lupski syndrome results from a duplication of genetic material at 17p11.2. In about two-thirds of affected individuals, the duplicated segment includes approximately 3.7 million DNA building blocks (base pairs), also written as 3.7 megabases (Mb). (A deletion of this segment causes a related condition called Smith-Magenis syndrome.) In the remaining one-third of cases, the duplication is larger or smaller, ranging from less than 1 Mb to almost 20 Mb. All of these duplications affect one of the two copies of chromosome 17 in each cell.
Although the duplicated region contains multiple genes, researchers believe that having an extra copy of one particular gene, RAI1, underlies many of the characteristic features of Potocki-Lupski syndrome. All of the duplications known to cause the condition contain this gene. The RAI1 gene provides instructions for making a protein that helps regulate the activity (expression) of other genes. Although most of the genes regulated by the RAI1 protein have not been identified, this protein appears to control the expression of several genes involved in daily (circadian) rhythms, such as the sleep-wake cycle. Studies suggest that the duplication increases the amount of RAI1 protein, which disrupts the expression of genes that influence circadian rhythms. These changes may account for the sleep disturbances that occur with Potocki-Lupski syndrome. It is unclear how an extra copy of the RAI1 gene leads to intellectual disability and the other signs and symptoms of this condition. Extra copies of other genes at 17p11.2 likely also contribute to the features of this disorder; the role of these genes is under study.
This condition has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance, which means one copy of a 17p11.2 duplication in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder.
Most cases of Potocki-Lupski syndrome result from a new (de novo) chromosomal duplication and occur in people with no history of the disorder in their families. Less commonly, an affected person inherits the duplication from one affected parent.

Entries : Hilton Hotels Corp.
Conrad N. Hilton started in the hotel business in Texas during the late 1910s. In 1945, when it became the Hilton Hotels Corp., his company bought two large Chicago luxury properties: the Palmer House and the Stevens Hotel (which became the Conrad Hilton). Together, the two Chicago hotels had about 5,300 rooms and employed 4,500 men and women. Headquartered in Chicago, the new company started as a chain of nine large luxury hotels; by the early 1960s, it had about $230 million in annual revenues from 43 hotels around the world employing roughly 30,000 people. Hilton moved its general offices from Chicago during the 1970s, when the company became associated with TWA Airlines. At the end of the 1990s, Hilton, based in California, still owned luxury hotels in downtown Chicago.

Home > Abt Exclusive > Fairwell, Elaine!
There are a lot of mixed emotions today at Abt. Our colleague, Elaine Guberman is retiring, and it’s with a heavy heart that we say goodbye. Almost 30 years ago, Elaine’s husband Earl Guberman started working at Abt as a Sales Associate. In 1997, after 10 years of being with us, Earl unfortunately passed away and we lost a beloved Sales Associate and friend. Shortly after, we were lucky enough to have his wife Elaine come in and start working with us. Now, after 17 years with us, we have the privilege to wish her the best with her retirement.
When Elaine started at Abt in ’97, she worked with Judy O’neil in the Electronic Service Department. She remembers how nice everyone was, especially for how hard a time it was for her. She would like to thank Judy “for not only being a good friend, but for having the patience to explain everything to me.” Elaine would also like to thank the Abt’s for always being so “thoughtful and wonderful.” Elaine is sad to retire, but thinks “it’s the right time to leave.” Elaine doesn’t have any definitive plans for her retirement, though she is interested in following and volunteering for the upcoming political campaigns. She is looking forward to spending more time with her family and grandchildren.
Though Elaine is excited to be retiring, we at Abt are sad to see her go. We wish you the best, Elaine! We hope that retirement is a wonderful adventure. Congratulations, and know that you will always have a family here at Abt.
Ann and I were so pleased to see such a lovely send-off from Abt to celebrate your retirement after 17years. How kind they have always been to Earl and you. We have always been loyal customers and will certainly continue to be. Also love having dinners at Jolane’s and seeing Bob, usually with his family.

Twitter has updated its app to include a new integrated camera. The feature makes it easier for users to take and upload pictures directly within the app.
It could also make the experience of using Twitter more visual, as pictures shot in-app take up more space than images uploaded the regular way. Additionally, text is overlaid on the image, not placed separately above it.
You can access the camera by swiping left on the main Twitter timeline. Once you take a photo, you can add text and a location to the image. Twitter will display this on top of the picture, not separately above it. You can also change the background color of the overlay from within the camera menu.
You can access the same menu by clicking on the compose tweet button and then selecting the camera icon.
The change will likely have a big impact on how your timeline looks. Previously, most images were accompanied by text and were comparatively small.
With the new system, the only text is displayed on the image itself, which puts the focus on the photo. The images also take up a lot more room on the timeline compared those taken outside the app and uploaded.
Another change is that the portrait orientation of pictures taken in-app means they fill up your phone screen when you click on them. You can see how different it looks in the images below.
The new feature may help Twitter compete with more visual social networks like Snapchat and Instagram. If the new camera can get more people shooting media, it may attract users who prefer a visual experience.

Tonga's solicitor general, Aminiasi Kefu, says the Crown is appealing what it considers the light sentences given to the skipper and first mate of the Princess Ashika, which sank two years ago with a loss of 74 lives.
In a trial earlier this year, the skipper Viliami Tu'ipulotu was jailed for four years but the sentence was suspended for three and a half years.
The first mate, Semisi Pomale, was jailed for five years and this was also suspended for three and a half.
Both had been convicted of a number of charges included manslaughter by negligence.
Aminiasi Kefu says they contend the judge erred in granting such lengthy suspensions.
"Under the statute you can only suspend a sentence for a three year period but he'd imposed a suspended sentence of three and a half years. So we are just fixing that up as a matter of technicality. At the end of the day the accused will have a lighter sentence."
Aminiasi Kefu says the former chief executive of the Shipping Corporation of Polynesia, John Jonesse, who was jailed for five years, is appealing both his conviction and sentence.
He says it's possible he could get a similar partially suspended sentence.

The internet is an unforgiving place. It takes trust for customers to interact with brands online, particularly in the hospitality sphere. One of many hospitality marketing mistakes can cause your efforts to be mute.
After all, guests not only pay for accommodations. They invest time and energy to plan a trip. Even more is spent on travel to-and-from the actual destination.
Unfortunately, hospitality branding is like constructing a house of cards. While it may take ages for a brand to earn a trustworthy reputation, a single marketing mistake can cause it to crash. Sometimes in a matter of days or hours.
A hospitality brand might live or die by customer reviews. While reviews help win the vote of confidence of new guests, negative reviews can put a serious dent in your ROI.
Many are tempted to delete a bad review or comment. This is often true if it’s displayed on your own website or social media pages. Never develop an elaborate campaign that blocks dissatisfied customers from speaking out.
When the policy got the attention it deserved, the owner claimed it was a joke. He said it wasn’t meant to be on the site. Unfortunately, the damage was dealt.
Within days, torrents of fake reviews popped up on major sites like Yelp, TripAdvisor, and Facebook — blatantly making fun of the situation.
This led to the eventual shutdown of the Union Street Guest House. While their website is no longer active, the negative reviews are there to stay.
Remember, any attempt to silence your customers can have irreversible consequences. Instead of trying to block out negative reviews, leverage them as a way to showcase your staff’s professionalism.
Respond and engage guests through every channel accessible. It could be through a review website or social media. Keep in mind, with the right approach, negative feedback is a stepping stone to improvement.
Some businesses deal with online reviews. Others barely have any engagement at all. The reason? It usually relates to their content strategy, or lack thereof.
The Pocono Plaza Facebook page, for example, has little activity despite regular updates.
In online marketing, you need to give value to receive value. You need to be relevant to your audience. If you want engagement, offer valuable content they want to see. It doesn’t have to be your own content, either. Curate relevant posts from popular sources. This often is enough to get the attention of your followers.
When using Ubersuggest, make sure to find the sweet spot between search volume and keyword competitiveness. A competitiveness score of 0.4 means low-medium competitiveness. This makes keywords feasible for smaller brands without hefty marketing budgets.
Discounts are time-tested tools to increase sales or certain transactions. For hotels, this means extended stays and off-season bookings. However, you should never depend on deals as your marketing bread-and-butter.
Your target audience can always find a cheaper alternative if they want to to minimize costs. So, instead of focusing on discounts, turn to maximizing value and building solid relationships with your customers.
Contrary to popular belief, discounts also aren’t reliable if your goal is to bring in new customers to your business. Discount-seeking customers probably aren’t eyeing your services or accommodations. Rather, they’re more likely drawn to the money saved.
To be fair, every digital campaign could go awry. This includes campaigns by big brands. Always brainstorm strategies with a grain of salt. For example, #McDStories is an official hashtag McDonald’s used for a Twitter campaign.
It was a good idea on paper: promote a hashtag and let the audience share heartwarming stories. The intent was to elevate the brand’s social presence. Sadly, most stories weren’t heartwarming nor even halfway pleasant.
An hour into the campaign, users tweeted waves of negative and controversial experiences with the #McDStories hashtag.
Although the buzz around the #McDStories fiasco faded, the hashtag itself is still used to share negative stories. Make sure you’re in touch with the general tone of your community when planning marketing campaigns. If you want to give customers a platform to share reviews, target those who are actually qualified.
A good strategy is to send review requests via email sometime after checkout or booking. Automate this with the help of email marketing tools like MailChimp or GetResponse.
Learning from mistakes may be effective, but failures aren’t always necessary to learn the lesson. Try to avoid these hospitality marketing mistakes to keep you brand reputation in tact. If you have a marketing horror story you’d like to share, feel free to leave a comment below!

Not long ago, those that graduated from business school with a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree found most of their jobs within the financial industry or working for large corporations in the financial offices. Today, with the massive changes to our economy and the instability that is present within some major corporations and the banking industry, many MBA students are choosing to focus their degree in specializations that are expected to offer a greater demand, and therefore, greater stability, such as information technology (IT). Many MBAs with an information technology specialization are considering a much different career path — working for the government.
Why the big change? There are many reasons, but one of the biggest is simply opportunity. An incredible amount of growth is anticipated in the field of information technology within the government. The federal government is the single largest employer in the United States, not including the state or local government. Even more important, this increase in computer specialists is going to require managers with specific skills.
Who has those skills? One way individuals have chosen to cultivate some of the skills required for management is by earning an MBA in information technology. The combined training of the IT MBA often provides students with real-world experience, with the goal of allowing them to leap forward into coveted management positions.
Why choose working for the government rather than traditionally higher paying jobs? Primarily, job security combined with excellent benefits. The jobs in government might not have the flash and the large bonuses, but they do offer the stability that many other aspects of the business world cannot, particularly during times of economic strife.
As you can see, there is a need for information technology specialists in the government today. If you are seeking wonderful challenges and responsibility, working as an IT manager in governmental agencies is a great idea. Get started today!

Did you know that Australian citizenship can be revoked? The revocation powers do not apply to those who are Australian citizens by birth, however.
Australian citizenship cannot be revoked if a person will become stateless as a result of this action. The powers to revoke Australian citizenship are vested in the Minister and are taken very seriously.
It is also possible to renounce your Australian citizenship. Renouncing your Citizenship is different to having citizenship revoked. This can occur when a person acquires the citizenship of another country, or chooses to give up their Australian citizenship. If your Australian citizenship has been lost, you can apply to become an Australian citizen again. We can assist you with this process.
If you used to be an Australian citizen, you might be eligible to resume Australian citizenship if you lost your Australian citizenship when you acquired the citizenship of another country, or renounced (gave up) your Australian citizenship.
MSM Legal can advise you on all aspects of Australian citizenship matters. Revocation and resumption of Australian citizenship can involve complex legal issues and we recommend that you obtain considered advice as soon as possible.

Children grow so fast – it’s a wonderful thing to have a regular record of their development, showing them at their best and revealing their personality on film. A studio session gives your child the chance to relax and be pictured in different settings – it’s much less rushed than a school photo, for example. I can photograph one child or a sibling, family or friends group. I can also offer birthday or celebration studio shoots – for a child’s birthday treat or to mark an occasion like a First Communion, 18th birthday, starting a new school or taking part in a sport, musical or drama event.
A group of friends can come and have a personalised makeover and photoshoot session, perhaps for a teen birthday treat. Ask me about bespoke package prices and venues for this.
I had booked in my three boys aged 14, 13 and 11 for a photoshoot with Asya. None of them were keen on our drive over but I wanted to get just one decent photo if possible ........ I left them to it and wished Asya all the luck in the world ! When my husband and I went to view the photos that had been taken we were shocked by just how many great shots there were to choose from. We ended up completely spoilt for choice as Asya had captured them all in such a relaxed, fun way it was hard to settle on just one so we bought a lot ! I cannot say how impressed I was with Asya in her professional yet very down to earth approach - she certainly bought out the best of all my boys in some amazing photos. I will definitely use Asya again for a family shoot this time. Highly recommended.

All Chipping In is a new Registered Charity based in South Gloucestershire which supports local education, healthcare and social inclusion.
We aim to give funds to local schools to help enrich pupils’ lives with activities that are outside the national curriculum. Our main healthcare activities are linked with MacMillan Cancer Support and we are equally proud to be linked with See Change, which tackles homelessness, addiction and recovery in and around Bristol.
Our main fundraising event at present is the Saddleback Sodbury Sportive, one of the top 10 sportives in the country, which takes place every August. In future we hope to expand our activities.
One of our other ambitions is to promote community spirit in and around Yate and Chipping Sodbury by getting people to “chip in”. We don’t just want money, we also need time. For our fundraising to succeed we need helpers and volunteers to offer a few hours or a day or two of their time to help us run our events. We need route marshals, food station helpers, car parking organisers and people who can help with lots of other jobs.
Over the next couple of months, we will be looking for volunteers to help us and will even be launching membership of All Chipping In for those who would like a closer involvement and more regular contact with like-minded people.
All our profits go to charity; the Trustees take no personal expenses or fees from money raised. We just want to support our local community and we hope you can “chip in” to help as well.
If you'd like to run, swim, bake (or do anything else to raise some money), click the button below to get started. It's quick and easy to register and by doing so here at Wonderful.org, you can be sure that every penny raised will reach All Chipping In.

Let's Make a Widebody for our 2.5 rs Subaru Impreza, Shall We!
So we got our hands on an 05 Subaru Impreza WRX STI. A friend of ours was kind enough to let us take it as long as we needed to scan and design some simple products. That quickly escalated into wanting to do more for this car and the idea of building a track/street clubsport car was born!
We pulled out the old suspension with lowering springs and added some custom two way adjustable Ground Control suspension, Enkei RS05RR's wrapped in 275/35 Proxes R888R and designed Chassis-Mount Rear Spoiler Uprights with a 71'' APR Airfoil.
Next we worked on the over fenders. We molded the shape of flare we wanted out of clay on the car itself.
We then 3D Scanned the body panels with the formed clay.
Designed a digital render of the panels.
Machined a mold on the 5 axis router.
Preped and sanded the mold after they are completed on the router.
Once all the trimming, fixes and test fitting is complete, we then flip the design and and produce the opposite side. The fitment of this kit turned out great! Fits over the factory body lines and curves as if it were a factory piece.
Now time for the real trimming! Obviously we aren't building this kit just for looks. We want the car to function the way it needs to at the track with the larger wheels and tires. So, that means making some clearance by cutting the front fenders and rear quarters. Enjoy!
The kit can either be riveted on or can be attached with a strong body panel adhesive. We used nut serts and bolts to attach these overfenders. The end goal is to build a car for the owner, so he can race at the track, but still be able to drive it home after a track day. Hence the clubsport build!
Over fenders have been sanded, primed and painted! We ended up using nut serts in the body to attach panels with bolts. We did this with the thought that if the customer ever went off track and broke a panel then it could easily be replaced. A CAE Ultra Shifter was also installed! The street version shifter was the best option because we are still using the center console. Another cool part we made for this build that we will end up offering on our site is polycarbonate rear side windows with a carbon fiber support trim.

Charles was born in 1935, in San Antonio, TX, the third child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L Kuentz, Sr. He began his music education on trumpet at a young age and took private lessons from Frank "Pop" Sturchio. He attended Horace Mann Middle School and then attended Thomas Jefferson High School. After graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1952, he attended Texas Lutheran College where he graduated in 1958 after earning his Bachelor of Science degree with a major in music.
While attending Texas Lutheran College, he met and married Judith (Judy) Brown, also from San Antonio. They have been married for over fifty-six years and have a large and loving family. They had six children, three boys and three girls. Four of the children became educators, three in the Northside ISO: Chuck, who retired as head band director at Clark High School and is now teaching at UTSA; Jennifer, who is head band director at Rawlinson Middle School; Marci, who teaches third grade at Krueger Elementary School, and Kimberly, who teaches elementary school in Powhatan, VA. Their son Gary is a master electrician, and their son Raymond is deceased. Their family now numbers thirty-four members, including eighteen grandchildren, grandsons-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, and five great-grandchildren.
Charles' thirty-two year band directing career began in 1958 in Rocksprings, TX. For a new teacher this experience was quite an eye-opener. The band hall was an old barracks building with music scattered everywhere. The acoustics were so poor that cardboard egg cartons had to be stapled to the walls and ceiling.
After two years, he moved to Charlotte, TX, and three years later to Three Rivers, TX. During the 1960's a popular song was the theme from "Peter Gunn”. At one of the Three River football games against Orange Grove, Charles led the band in the popular "Peter Gunn” theme song, not knowing that this was Orange Grove's fight song. The Orange Grove team and supporters jumped up and down with delight, while the football players sitting on the bench ran over to thank him.
After five years in Three Rivers, he moved to San Antonio. His first job was in the San Antonio ISO, as band director at Page Middle School. After one year, the Jefferson High School position opened up and Charles became their band director in 1969. In 1970, he and the family moved to Leon Valley. When it became apparent that all family members were having different school schedules, he applied for and began teaching at Hobby Middle School and the beginner band programs in Northside ISO.
In 1975 he became head band director at John Marshall High School in NISD. He brought new heights and accomplishments during his tenure there: marching in the Tournament of Roses Parade, performing at Houston Oiler halftimes, first place at Parade of Champions at the Cotton Bowl, and consistent Sweepstakes in UIL Marching, Concert, and Sightreading Contests. The motto "The Pride" was coined during his time at Marshall and the band was named "The Pride of John Marshall." During one Tournament of Roses Parade, Charles and his wife Judy had driven the parade route the day before, and noticed that there were palm trees in the median, marking the end of the parade route. The next day, during the parade, their son Ray, who played clarinet in the band, asked him, "Dad, how much farther to the end?" Taking a look Charles said, "Those palm trees up ahead are at the end of the parade." An hour later, the palm trees he thought to be in the median never got any closer, because they were on a float several blocks ahead!
After five years at Marshall, Charles had a strong desire to build his own home --out of logs. Knowing the demands of a high school band program would leave him little free time, he decided to move to middle school and teach the younger band students. In 1982 he left Marshall to open Rudder Middle School, where he was the band director until his retirement in 1992.
Charles' public school teaching career may have concluded with his retirement in 1992, but his legacy in the community will be felt for many generations. Countless numbers of his students have now become band parents (or band grandparents). An impressive number of former students have become either music teachers or professional musicians.
Charles possesses many skills: mechanical skills, construction skills, and the ability to generate ideas when needed. In 1984 he utilized these skills to build a 4200 square foot log home in the Hill Country outside of Helotes. He designed it, built it, and did the finishing work inside. He and Judy are still living in it today.
He has a variety of interests that keep him occupied: auto mechanics- he restored two pick-ups; boats he restored three pontoon boats (one of his own), fishing, making furniture, and camping. He and his wife Judy love to travel. They are avid RVers, who have traveled all over the U.S. either in their motorhome or now in their 5th wheel trailer. They also enjoy sightseeing the beautiful Texas Hill Country while riding their Honda Goldwing motorcycle.
In 2009 Charles' name was submitted as a namesake for a new elementary school that Northside lSD was building in the Helotes, TX, area. With over-whelming pride, Charles L. Kuentz, Jr. Elementary School was built on the actual farmland that once belonged to his maternal grandfather, H. T. Brauchle (the first school teacher in the Helotes area that later became Northside I.S.D.) Charles spent much of his youth in the fields where the school is now, helping bring in the hay, playing with his cousins, and just having adventures during his youth. What a turn-around in time to have these youngsters playing and learning where he spent a lot of his young years.
In 2008, Charles returned to band directing. He is currently the director of the Helotes Area Community Band. In the four years of its existence it has grown from seven to over fifty members. Members of the band include six family members; former students from both Jefferson and Marshall; professional musicians; and wonderful people who just love to play their horns. This is very special for Charles and they have become his musical family.
For Charles, his induction into the Texas Bandmasters Hall of Fame is the supreme honor of his professional life. Charles extends his most heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Billy Harrell for nominating him and Phi Beta Mu for bestowing this honor.

tora on Fedora 16 for mysql and Oracle.
Sometime back I had posted a article on Tora on Fedora. But that was a while back and things have progressed and we already have Fedora 16 (aka Verne).
First get the Tora sources from sourceforge.net . Download the source tar file and extract the same.
Also download and install the instantclient and the relevant devel package. You can download the same from the oracle site.
Now go to the directory where you extracted tora.
I’m trying to compile on arch. I edited Makefile.am but src has no moc_toawr.cpp file. How can i get it?
What is the error that you are getting, if you do not add that file and use the downloaded src as is.
Actaully there will be no moc_toawr.cpp file in the tar file. However when you run make, the file moc_toawr.cxx should get created. This file gets created with command moc-qt4. Can you check that this command is present in your system. Currently I do not have access to the system where I had compiled tora, will check that and get back to you with more details.
The hidden step in almost all webs is executing ./autogen.sh after the Makefile.am modification, as well as an appropiate ./configure command.
Thank you so much for the effort!
I am glad that you were able to resolve it.
This guide works also with Fedora 16 X86_64??
