Mario Golf: Super Rush Review
Everyone's favorite plumber is back playing golf again with all of his buddies from the Mushroom Kingdom in Mario Golf: Super Rush. Mario first took up the game of golf back in 1985 in the classic title Golf on the NES; since then there's been five more titles in the mainline Mario Golf series. Mario Golf: Super Rush is the first entry in the series in seven years, and the first console entry since Mario: Golf Toadstool Tour on the GameCube. There's a whole lot of new, and a whole lot to revisit in this installment, so let's get started.
Mario Golf: Super Rush has revamped the gameplay quite a bit, even though some changes may seem subtle. Before your shot, you can hit X for an overhead view of the course. Here you can aim your shot to hit the fairway or avoid trees.
Using the X button will open up an overview of the hole
For swinging your club, Nintendo has done away with the old three click system where you tap to start your swing, tap to set your power, and then tap to finish when swinging your club, and has implemented a two click swing instead–tap the meter to start, tap again (or double tap for spin) to set your power and swing. Additionally, the swing meter is now vertical instead of horizontal, and now has yard markers attached to the meter, so you can see how far you're hitting the ball. During your swing phase, you can double tap A for topspin, double tap B for backspin, or tap right or left for a little fade or draw. When the meter is going up, you can hold left or right to curve your shot in a given direction.
Two touch meter is shown on the right side
Aside from all of the swing techs that there are, you can simply use the L button to hit a special shot. Special shots will allow you to hit the ball a little further with pinpoint accuracy, and depending on the character the special shot will have a different affect when the ball lands, such as throwing bombs to knock other balls out of the way, or even electrocuting the ball so your opponents meter becomes disoriented. These special shots give it the arcade and light hearted feel that returning players will remember, they can also be turned off on any mode when playing with friends or online.
Use L for a special shot
If you're a veteran of the series, these changes may take some time getting used to, but they're a great improvement overall. These small changes give the game the feel of a serious golf game where the characters aren't too overpowered; it's not as simple as lining up your shot on a yellow arrow and timing your meter accurately to have it land perfectly. Getting a good score feels much more rewarding in Mario Golf: Super Rush.
Standard Stroke Play: This is your standard round of golf that you're familiar with in all Mario games, or any golf game for that matter. You can choose to play with 1-4 players on a round, and you shoot the best possible score that you can to win.
The grid on the green determines slope and speed
Speed Golf: Speed Golf is a brand new mode in Mario Golf: Super Rush. This mode is fast paced and a blast to play with friends or even against the computer. When you tee off, you grab your clubs then go chase your ball down; while running, you can use a stamina boost for a burst of speed (and knock your opponents out of the way), collect coins for items at the pro shop, collect and use power ups, and collect hearts to refill your stamina. Not only are you collecting items to help get you to your ball faster, but you're also avoiding obstacles, and trying to to run through the rough or the sand to slow you down. You can play Speed Golf in one of two ways: stroke play–where you finish with the lowest score, or my preferred method, win by best time.
Speed golf is a new and fun way to play with friends
Battle Golf: Battle Golf is another new mode introduced in this game. Players all start at the same spot in a wide open area where there are nine holes to shoot at with the goal of being the first player to sink three shots, this mode plays like speed golf where you chase your ball down after hitting it. There's no linear path in this mode; you can attempt to shoot for any hole you desire, but if another player sinks their shot into a hole then the hole is taken off the board. This mode is fast paced and very fun; however, my only complaint is that the rounds end very quick and the game brings you right back to the lobby instead of playing multiple rounds.
Battle golf allows you to roam free around an arena
Adventure Mode: Adventure mode is back, and it feels very similar to Mario Tennis: Aces, even down to having the characters' avatars in the bottom corners when speaking. However, this time around the adventure mode does a lot to switch things up to keep it fresh throughout your experience. You begin Adventure Mode by taking control of your Mii as they join a golf academy and play through a series of matches and challenges to work their way through the ranks. Each match and challenges awards you coins for buying new gear at the clubhouse and experience points that help you level up your Mii. From the beginning, you start off with basic tutorials and matches, then move your way towards interesting challenges such as finishing the front nine in under a certain amount of time, or plotting how to complete a nine hole course in under 40 shots. These interesting challenges keep story mode fresh and entertaining, which will make you keep coming back for more. This mode will run about five to six hours to complete.
Adventure mode plays as a light RPG
Closing Thoughts:
Mario Golf: Super Rush is a welcome addition to revive the Mario Golf series on Switch. The gameplay is wonderful, the graphics are smooth and fluid, the new modes are great, and the online features work well. However, there are some drawbacks. As fun as Speed Golf and Battle Golf are, there's no setting in single player to change the difficulty of the computer, which allows it to get a bit stale since the AI can be rather inadequate at times. Adventure Mode could be a little bit longer; there's still plenty to do with leveling up your Mii so you can beat your friends online, but there could be more. Online play is fun, but it's only lobbies and no leaderboards. I was disappointed that I couldn't even see how many wins I have online. Lastly, there are only six courses at launch; each course is vastly different, which keeps it fresh, but I would definitely like to see more courses available. Overall, the launch seems light, but Nintendo had said that there's be free content updates in the future for Mario Golf: Super Rush, which I hope resolve the issues stated above.
Verdict: 3.5 / 5
Mario Golf: Super Rush is a fun game to play with friends online or together in your home. With new ways to play and a fun Adventure Mode, this game has kept me busy for quite some time in its release. I recommend this game to anyone looking for a new multiplayer Mario game that's approachable for everyone.
New swing mechanics are great.
Adventure mode is a fun single player mode that helps teach you the mechanics.
Speed golf and battle golf are great additions.
Every player hitting their ball at once in standard play saves a lot of time and keeps you invested.
Good visuals and performance
Online mode doesn't have leaderboards or ranking system
Lack of courses
No amiibo support
No difficulty settings for single player battle golf or speed golf

The Fight Against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Ring Is Far From Over
Several cases involving the late sex offender and financier's estate are ongoing, as are those involving associates like Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew

Now that Ghislaine Maxwell has been convicted of helping procure underage girls for abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, the question remains as to what will happen for the rest of Epstein's victims as well as his powerful associates and others who may have helped facilitate the abuse. Here are five civil cases that are still in federal court against Epstein's estate and associates.
Virginia Giuffre v. Alan Dershowitz
In 2019, Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre sued Alan Dershowitz, a prominent lawyer, for defamation. She said he sexually assaulted her multiple times while she was as young as 16 and being sex-trafficked by Epstein — whom she claimed in the complaint "lent [her] out" to have sex with other men — and that he then called her a liar when she went public with the allegations. Dershowitz denied the claims and countersued Giuffre, saying her allegations were "lies, disparagement, defamation, harassment," and that she'd been pressured by her lawyers to make false accusations against him (accusations which, themselves, drew their own defamation suit from Giuffre's lawyer, David Boies).
The Giuffre/Dershowitz suit will also feature a bit of a cameo from longtime Epstein associate, retail billionaire Leslie Wexner. Back in November, the judge overseeing the case ruled that Wexner would have to sit for a deposition because in his counter-suit, Dershowitz accused Giuffre of making false claims about him in an effort to squeeze money out of Wexner. Per Bloomberg, the deposition — during which lawyers were allowed to ask Wexner if he had sex with Giuffre — was scheduled to take place Dec. 17, but the judge also ruled that Wexner's answers would be sealed. At the time, Wexner's lawyer said the deposition would be short because Wexner would state he didn't know Giuffre. The lawyer also accused Dershowitz's defense team of using Wexner "as a prop."
On Wednesday, the BBC called Dershowitz to comment on the Maxwell verdict, without acknowledging the accusation or his prior status as one of Epstein's attorneys. He used the opportunity to point out that Giuffre had not been called as a witness in Maxwell's criminal trial, and to suggest this was because she is untruthful. "The government was very careful who it used as witnesses," Dershowitz said, before referring — unprompted — to his connection to the case. "It did not use as a witness the woman who accused Prince Andrew, accused me, accused many other people, because the government didn't believe she was telling the truth." The news organization released a statement walking back the segment after it aired. "Mr. Dershowitz was not a suitable person to interview as an impartial analyst, and we did not make the relevant background clear to our audience," the statement said in part.
Virginia Giuffre v. Prince Andrew
In the wake of the Maxwell verdict, many are looking to Giuffre's civil case against Prince Andrew as the next possible step towards justice for Epstein's and Maxwell's victims. Giuffre sued Andrew in August 2021, claiming the British Royal raped and sexually abused her on multiple occasions when she was 17, when she had been "lent out" by Epstein to Andrew for "sexual purposes." Giuffre claims Andrew is responsible for "battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress." Andrew has denied the accusations and claimed he has "no recollection" of meeting Giuffre, despite a photograph showing him with his arm around Giuffre's waist while Maxwell stands nearby. In a 2019 interview, Andrew suggested the photo could have been faked.
On Wednesday, the judges overseeing Giuffre's cases against Andrew and Dershowitz jointly ruled that a 2009 settlement agreement between Giuffre and Epstein, which bears directly on the case against Andrew, would be unsealed in the new year.
Earlier this week, Andrew tried to claim Giuffre could not sue him in U.S. federal court because she now lives in Australia. On Friday, the judge ruled that discovery would move forward anyway.
Priscilla Doe v. HBRK Associates
Using the pseudonym Priscilla Doe, one Epstein accuser sued the financier's estate in 2019, then turned down a settlement from the victims' compensation fund in 2020. Priscilla opted to instead continue her civil case against Epstein's estate, wherein she claimed Epstein abused her from 2006 to 2012, starting when she was 20. She claimed she was recruited to massage an older man for pay while she was working "menial jobs" to pay for ballet training in New York. Epstein sexually assaulted her during the massages, she said, and took her virginity against her will. On a trip to the Virgin Islands, Priscilla said Maxwell taught her the "proper way to give a blow job" to Epstein. Her suit mentioned Jean Luc Brunel being on the trip to the Virgin Islands, and serving hors d'oeuvres at a party attended by Woody Allen.
Epstein Estate to Pay U.S. Virgin Islands Over $105 Million
Jeffrey Epstein Accusers Sue the Banks That Did Business With Him
In June, Doe filed an amended complaint that contained accusations against a corporate entity known as HBRK Associates, Inc., which at one time was registered to Richard Kahn, another Epstein associate who worked as his accountant and the co-executer of his estate. The complaint alleged that HBRK employees aided Epstein by warning victims how powerful he was in an alleged effort to keep them from speaking with police or filing civil lawsuits. The suit also stated the HBRK kept "damaging files on many of the young female victims" and "stored large amounts of cash in its offices to ensure that there were funds available to pay and silence victims of Epstein at any given time." (A lawyer for Epstein's estate denied the allegations to The Daily Beast at the time).
Not long after the amended complaint was filed, a motion to dismiss Doe's suit was filed, though there still hasn't been a ruling on that.
Russian Jane Doe v. Epstein Estate
In an October 2021 class action lawsuit, a Russian national sued Epstein's estate, alleging that when she was in college in 2017, she had responded to a job posting for a personal assistant, only to be forced into a sexualized massage when she met with Epstein in Paris for what was supposed to be an interview.
The suit initially named Epstein assistant Lesley Groff as a defendant, as well. The complaint claimed Groff had assisted and facilitated her alleged trafficking and abuse by "purchasing plane tickets, sending money, making appointments, and sending various communications from New York." On Wednesday, Dec. 29, however, Jane dismissed the case against Groff. Mariann Wang, a lawyer for Jane, confirmed the dismissal and the continuation of the case against Epstein's estate, but declined to comment further.
Caroline Kaufman v. Epstein Estate
Caroline Kaufman sued the Epstein estate for $500 million in July 2020, claiming Epstein raped her in December 2010, when she was 17 years old, at his Manhattan home during a fake modeling interview. In her suit, Kaufman said she met Epstein through his associate, Susan Hamblin, who approached her at a horse show in Lake Placid, New York and allegedly told her that Epstein could help her get into the modeling industry (Kaufman was 16 when Hamblin first approached her). Kaufman finally did agree to a "modeling interview" with Epstein, and she claimed that when she arrived at Epstein's home, she was introduced to several people, including Prince Andrew. Kaufman claimed a woman she believed to be Ghislaine Maxwell took nude photos of her, then she was told to put on a bikini and was taken into a massage room where Epstein was naked. Epstein, the suit claims, then brutally attacked and raped Kaufman while she screamed for help. Afterwards, Hamblin allegedly paid Kaufman $500 and threatened to kill her and her family if she said anything.
About a month after Kaufman filed her suit, however, the case was stayed, and there's been no activity on the docket since September 2020 (these were just "pro hac vice" motions, which have to do with adding lawyers to cases in jurisdictions where they may not be licensed to practice). Lawyers for Kaufman did not immediately return Rolling Stone's request for comment and an update on the case.

"A large milestone" was attained in the course of the Alabama Condition Board of Veterans Affairs meeting held July 9 in Organization.
The title of the 175-bed lengthy term wellness care facility to be designed in 2022 was voted on and the architectural designs had been unveiled at the initial in-person SBVA assembly considering the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic created a mandated point out shutdown.
"What a great day in Enterprise," claimed Enterprise Mayor William "Bill" Cooper, welcoming those people who attended the general public board meeting held at the Enterprise Civic Center. "Today normally takes us 1 step closer to the working day when we will be capable to slash a ribbon and rejoice the opening."
Contacting the facility naming "a major milestone," retired Navy Rear Admiral Kent Davis—ADVA Commissioner—outlined the timeline for the task going ahead. "We're about fifty percent way into the time line on the design of the facility. Here's what is going to materialize from right here.
"We commenced this process about two and one particular 50 % many years ago with a feasibility research statewide and that examine showed that we surely required a further condition veterans dwelling in Alabama," Davis described. "The examine also confirmed that the place exactly where a single was most wanted was in the Wiregrass."
The formal Request for Internet site Range Proposals was distributed July 15, 2019 in the specified company location in the Wiregrass. Most parts within these counties are past a 60-moment push time from a condition veterans home, the feasibility examine observed.
The RSSP sought a least acres of land to assemble the $65 million facility. The Veterans House Committee critique 12 proposals submitted and Company was preferred as the web-site at the ADVA assembly held Jan. 3, 2020. The facility will be located on 108 acres off Highway 51 just north of Yancey Parker Industrial Park.

Eleven nominations were been given from in the assistance place which consists of Espresso, Dale, Barbour, Butler, Covington, Crenshaw, Geneva, Henry, Houston and Pike Counties. Nominations have been to be both in honor of a veteran or a particular person who had a pivotal role in locating the residence in Enterprise or a descriptive of the spot or location of the dwelling.
Davis stated that the ADVA Households Committee, a subset of the board, achieved before July 9 and narrowed the nominations down to three that ended up introduced just before the entire board for a vote.
"There are a good deal of procedural measures we have to go via. Please comprehend that," Davis informed people seated in the viewers. "We just will need to do matters appropriate, in the open and ethically as we go by way of this process."
Of the 15 voting members in attendance, 13 voted to have the well being care facility in Business named the Command Sgt. Maj. Bennie Adkins Point out Veterans household. The two other finalists ended up Michael J. Novosel Sr. of Organization who served in the United States military services all through Entire world War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War and Ola Lee Mize of Albertville who served in the United States armed forces all through the Korean War.
Davis congratulated the board for their option of Adkins. "I had the distinct honor two yrs ago of conference and working with Command Sgt. Maj. Adkins. What a excellent American," Davis mentioned. "I am just so pleased to see him honored in this trend right now."
Adkins was deployed to Vietnam 3 situations, with his most heroic work in the course of his 2nd tour foremost to his receiving a Medal of Honor in 2014. Adkins distinguished himself throughout 38 hours of close-overcome battling although serving as an Intelligence Sergeant with the 5th Exclusive Forces Team at Camp A Shau in the Republic of Vietnam from March 9-12, 1966.
"Command Sgt. Maj. Bennie Adkins is an American hero who was nicely-acknowledged statewide for his bravery and heroism, primarily in southeastern Alabama with his near ties to the local community," claimed SBVA Vice Chairman Chad Richmond, who presided about the July 9 board conference. "Command Sgt. Maj. Adkins was loved by anyone who understood him and it is an honor to have his name on the new state veterans house."
An architect with Williams Blackstock Architects in Birmingham outlined programs for the 182,000 sq. ft facility which will residence 175 people. Once in full operation, it will present jobs for a lot more than 200 individuals.
"The subsequent significant milestone is deciding on a building contractor," Davis explained. "We foresee that we will have a floor breaking ceremony in early 2022 and the most effective news of all is we anticipate opening the facility in 2023 for people worthy veterans.
"The ADVA is thrilled to continue serving veterans in the Wiregrass with this new state veterans dwelling," Davis added. "Enterprise is happy of its navy record and we are grateful for the outpouring of assist from the community and its leadership. This is a good partnership amongst equally the town of Enterprise and Coffee County."
Espresso County Fee Chairman Dean Smith agreed. "I would like to reiterate that this has been a joint enterprise for very a while and that was vital to us from the quite beginning," he explained. "The commission is devoted to this project and undertaking regardless of what it will take to make it productive.
"Coffee County will go on to assist the army in any way attainable. There is almost nothing that we can do that is way too a great deal for our veterans," a visibly emotional Dean mentioned. "I truly feel incredibly strongly about that. Veterans have been left behind in as well quite a few circumstances and it will not be that way in Espresso County—ever. I pledge that."

The European title insurance market could be set to boom. At present it amounts to around only 1% of the US market, where title insurance is a staple product. But the demand for this type of cover is growing in Europe, and it is predicted that the European market could grow by as much as ten-fold. However, in the clamour for market share, insurers are warned that the costs of underwriting such risks can be expensive.
What is title insurance? Lloyd's backed title insurance provider Secure Legal Title defines it as cover that indemnifies against losses arising from both known and unknown legal risks related to real estate acquisitions and mortgage finance. In other words, title insurance lessens the risk for property investors and mortgage lenders when completing property transactions. Legal indemnity cover, which is commonly purchased in the UK, is a form of title insurance that indemnifies the property buyer and the mortgage lender against a specific, defined risk that has been identified by the buyer's lawyer. Unlike title insurance, legal indemnity policies do not cover unknown risks.
The title insurance market is well established in the US, where it is practically compulsory, and is valued at around $11.4bn in gross written premiums (GWP). However, in stark contrast, the European commercial title insurance market is very small, with Secure Legal Title estimating its value to be around $100m in GWP, which effectively makes it around hundred times smaller than the US market. The origins of the European title insurance market are in central and Eastern Europe – specifically Romania and Poland – where US investors were concerned about possible restitution issues in former communist countries, for example. In one recent high profile deal in Poland, US insurer Stewart Title issued a €400m policy in relation to a shopping centre in Katowice, Poland, that was purchased by a consortium of investors led by Allianz Real Estate.
However, in addition to protecting investors in eastern Europe, title insurance is also facilitating commercial property transactions in western European economies, according to Dalton. While around 90% of title insurance purchased in Europe covers risks in central and eastern Europe, an increasing amount of policies are being bought to cover deals happening in Spain, France and Italy. Whereas in the past the buyer would decide whether to assume the risk or walk away from the deal, with title insurance the risk is eliminated. "Title insurance makes deals flow quicker," says Dalton. "With a developer who buys land, for example, when they buy a title insurance policy, the transaction is easier when it comes to selling." This is a view echoed by US insurer First Title, which promotes title insurance by highlighting that it "adds real value in making all types of property transactions complete more quickly, easily, and safely" as well as making such deals generally less costly, and sometimes aiding a deal that "may not otherwise happen at all".

The new committee wanted to avoid financial difficulties. After one season, the team moved up to the second-tier league. The following two years were more difficult, but new players during this time helped revived the club.
In a new coach, Greg Poss , came to Iserlohn. After three successful years, the club moved up again after purchasing the operating license of Starbulls Rosenheim.
A GmbH , which serves to administer the finances and the business organisation, was created for the professional team. All junior teams were still under the control of the IEC.
The Roosters continually had the lowest budget of all DEL teams, and the media often referred to them as an underdog team. In their first two seasons, the Roosters placed 15th and 12th.
In the —03 season, the team again missed the playoffs by falling just two points short even though they beat the German champion of the year, the Krefeld Pinguine , 8—1 on the last day of the season.
Before the next season, Poss left the club and went on to coach the Nürnberg Ice Tigers. Iserlohn named Dave Whistle as new coach, but after only nine games, Doug Mason was his successor.
During the lockout season in —05 , Mike York and John-Michael Liles came to Iserlohn and helped the team reach 11th place despite still having the smallest budget in the league.
York signed with Iserlohn after his old college friend Bryan Adams , who was the captain of the Roosters, talked to him.
Brian Gionta also signed, but left without having played due to his wife's pregnancy. Twelve players left the club in the summer of , but the Roosters were able to make some great moves on the transfer market with the biggest signings being former DEL top scorer Brad Purdie and former NHL player Mark Greig for two years.
Nevertheless, they finished in just eleventh place despite having the best power play in the league. After defeating the DEG Metro Stars 5—1 in the opening game of the season in —07, the Roosters were in first place for one week for the first time in their history.
After again finishing another season in eleventh place, Ward then left Iserlohn during the summer of to be an assistant coach for the Boston Bruins of the NHL.
For the —08 season, Rick Adduono became the new coach of the Roosters. After the fifth game, they were in a playoff position and were able to hold on to it the rest of the season.
Improved offense was due to Robert Hock and Michael Wolf beginning to dominate the league as native players, breaking the historic dominance of North American players.
Wolf was the top goal scorer, and Hock became league top point scorer. The third man in their line was either Tyler Beechey , who was first signed on a try-out contract, or Brad Tapper.
However, in the quarterfinals they were defeated by the Frankfurt Lions in game 7. The team failed to continue the success they had the year before, and Stirling was fired in February after the team fell out of playoff position.
Over the summer many players voiced their critique of Stirling. Assistant coach Ulrich Liebsch became the new head coach, and many key players left the team.
Due to the global financial crisis at that time, the Roosters announced that they would look for young, talented players instead of focusing on veterans for the —10 season.

Heroin, it turns out, is bad. The Terrible Truth lays waste to the all-too-common myth that regular heroin use is a healthy part of a balanced diet. Professional scowler Judge William B. McKesson guides us through a case study of Phyllis Howard (no relation to Curly) who tries marijuana and quickly begins vacuuming up Charlie Parker-levels of Mexican black tar heroin.
Kevin, Mike and Bill ride this pony for all it's worth.

That's right, we hate DRM just as much as you do (we blame The Man), and so we offer this experiment in total freedom.

This summer, Faith sent an inter-generational group to the Florida Keys to repair/rebuild damage caused by past storms. Some members of the team have shared their experience with us by answering a series of questions.
1) How did you know/decide that you wanted to go on this mission trip?
Pat Farrell: I usually go with the youth on mission trips. However, this year there was no specific youth trip so I volunteered to go on this inter-generational trip which included a number of youth. I always receive a blessing from serving, particularly beside the young people of our church. I was reminded that I always get more out of service/helping others than I give. I was surprised at the level of loss to the homeowners we helped, who likely had no insurance. The people we helped were very much in need and extremely grateful. They worked side by side with us. All the team members worked extremely hard and it was a joy to get to know each of them.
Malikah Woody: I have wanted to participate and go on a mission trip for a few years, ever since joining Faith. However, the dates of the previous trips were in conflict with other commitments that could not change. The Key West mission trip fit perfectly with the schedule the boys and I had for summer 2018.
Shannon Guse: I went because there were so many youth attending.
Doug Williams: I felt God's calling. Wanted to help others.
2. What did you learn on this mission trip?
Pat: I was reminded that I always get more out of service/helping others than I give. I was surprised at the level of loss to the homeowners we helped, who likely had no insurance. The people we helped were very much in need and extremely grateful. They worked side by side with us. All the team members worked extremely hard and it was a joy to get to know each of them.
Malikah: I learned that I still have a good amount of physical stamina and that I love mission trips! As I get older, I can feel the changes in what I'm able to do physically (and mentally). The Key West trip largely consisted of spending all day working in hot homes or in the sun. Despite the heat, and despite pain from a recent injury, I was able to sustain activity all day, each day. Before actually doing it, I wasn't sure I'd be able to. I learned about the lives of my fellow team members and got to know them more intimately. It was such a joy growing closer to everyone. I had never been to Key West before, so I researched a little before the trip. I learned about the history, the culture and the politics of the area. Then, I witnessed evidence of those things once we were there.
Shannon: I was so impressed by the Habitat foreman who didn't even blink when we messed up. They were so grace-filled . . . and sometimes we screwed up big time. I was also surprised by the faith that the homeowners had. I'm not sure I would have stayed after a complete loss.
Doug: I learned that helping others helps me to understand their needs. I met church members I had never met before and learned who they are. I learned the need for homeowners to have help.
3. What was you favorite part of the trip?
Pat: The hospitality shown by Pastor NeeCee in not only opening up her church, but also her home to use. She was amazing. The Habitat for Humanity staff, particularly the workers, were wonderful. They showed patience and kindness to us as well as to the people they served.
Malikah: One of my favorite parts was watching my children work. Watching them take pride in the work they were doing and observing them develop an appreciation for the spiritual fulfillment that comes to us when we do for others. I absolutely loved the location: amazing sunsets, beautiful flora, incredible beaches, friendly locals, tourists on bicycles everywhere you turn, delicious food and much more. Dinner with Ms. Norma's friends was definitely a highlight of my experience and it was moving. They opened their home to us so that we could take showers and provided us with traditional home-cooked Filipino food in addition to fellowship. Ms. Niecy, the Pastor of the host church, truly showed us love through her actions. She cleaned the fellowship hall in preparation of our stay, gave us a tour of her church, and walked the surround area with us, sharing her knowledge and insights. I still keep in touch with her, and hope to have made a lifelong friend. The Habitat team demonstrated tremendous patience and grace with us! They taught us many skills and were very forgiving when we made mistakes. I think the entire team was thankful for their guidance and welcoming nature.
Shannon: My favorite part was getting to know church members in a new way.
Doug: My favorite part was seeing our group work together and become unified.
4) What was the hardest part of the trip?
Pat: The heat and humidity during the work days and the long drive to Key West.
Malikah: There was not a hard part for me, but if I had to choose something, it would be the physical limitations that I had due to a back injury the week before we left. The pain kept me from doing as much as I had hoped to do, but looking back, I believe everything happened exactly the way it was supposed to.
Shannon: The heat and humidity during the work days and the long drive to Key West.
5) Was there an experience that surprised you?
Pat: Our visit with Norma's friends from the Philippines. They opened their houses, showers and kitchens to us and cooked a wonderful Filipino meal for us. It was a wonderful expression of Christian hospitality.
Malikah: There were no surprises for me.
Shannon: Our visit with Norma's friends from the Philippines. They opened their houses, showers and kitchens to us and cooked a wonderful Filipino meal for us. It was a wonderful expression of Christian hospitality.
6) Was there a moment where you saw God?
Pat: John from Habitat at our first stop, a/k/a Santa Claus during Christmas, was a God moment over and over. He was always kind, patient, even-going, helpful and caring. He showed God's love on a daily basis.
Malikah: I felt God many times and I think the people we helped saw and felt God through our presence and through the work we did and the love we shared with them.
Shannon: The grace the Habitat workers showed us when we screwed up.
Doug: Feeling the homeowners' appreciation for the work we were doing.
7) What is God teaching you as you have returned to Tallahassee?
Pat: Many people suffer losses through no fault of their own. We, as Christians, are charged by Christ to help wherever and whenever we can. I am also practicing patience.
Malikah: God is teaching me to be more grateful, to be at peace (not worry), and to show an abundance of grace to others.
Doug: To see members of the team that I didn't know before.
8) What about this trip will stay with you?
Pat: All the members of the team who I got to know and work beside. We ate. slept, and worked together. It was a wonderful group.
Malikah: What has stayed with me thus far is the joy of simplicity, the satisfaction found in hard work and the soothing effects of a God-focused community.
Shannon: The group's energy and love for the church.
Doug: Visiting Key West after 50 years.
9) How did God change your view of the world?
Pat: It is always eye opening to me when I go on a mission trip to see how much work needs to be done to help/serve others. I have been on many mission trips, several throughout the U.S., but I'm always struck by the work to be done here in our own backyard.
Malikah: I don't know that my view of the world has really changed, but my view that we are all one human family was strengthened.
Doug: How nature (God) works within the environment that is constantly in struggle.
10) How did your understanding of God change?
Pat: God is a "big" God. He/She can accomplish a lot if only we allow Him/Her to lead us.
Shannon: I'm not sure my view changed, but I was reminded that there are people who trust God completely, in a way I'm not sure I can ever achieve.
Doug: Reinforms me that God is always with us.
Faith Preschool is such a special place. Our girls went to Faith and we could not have been happier. I love the way this school loves the whole child. The teachers here at Faith realize the importance of family and do a wonderful job of getting to know the whole family as well. This allows us to help even outside of the classroom when needed. I love that the preschool is affiliated with such a strong, supportive church. I love that we can openly talk to these beautiful children about our Lord and how much they are loved by God.
I also love that Faith Preschool recognizes that all families are different and that is okay. We may not all look the same, but that is what makes us each special. When doing art the other day, I asked a student if he would like to make a picture for both his Mom and Dad, and he immediately said yes and became very excited. This sweet student's parents are not together; however, both can now enjoy his beautiful art work and he can see how much he is loved by each of them. This is just one very small example. I have also seen Beverly provide a scholarship to a single mother who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to send her child to Faith Preschool. When this mother became ill, the preschool provided additional support and love. I have also witnessed this amazing group of teachers provide a very generous Christmas for a single mother and her three children. As you can see, this is a pretty amazing place.
My favorite part of my job is all the hugs I get from these sweet little ones. I love to see their eyes light up when we praise them. I love the way they come in excited to learn. I love sharing the word of God with them and then watching them care for one another. I also love that my job doesn't seem like work. I am also extremely lucky to work with Teresa Hamrick, who is a fabulous teacher and so caring.
Working with these amazing little people helps me see God on a daily basis. I love seeing the world through their eyes. Their smiles and excitement light up the room. I see God when one student leans down to tie another student's shoe who doesn't know how. Or when one student recognizes another student's sadness and sits down beside them to help. Working with these kindergartners has helped me slow down, smell the roses, and enjoy every minute. I love my job!
Faith Presbyterian Preschool and Kindergarten is a unique school that is set apart from other schools. You'll see this just be walking down our hall. Our class composite photos dating back to the 1960's line the walls. Precious children, for sure, but what you don't see are the stories that are left behind.
I began teaching Pre-K at Faith in 1981, a young mom with a one--year-old, a degree in Early Childhood Education from Florida State, and a passion for children. The parents at Faith were mostly older than me, and if any of you who are reading this are one of those former Faith parents, thank you. You were my mentors. Years passed, two more children, a Master's Degree, and you became my peers. We commiserated. Faith parents continued to support our school with their time, gifts, and service. They supported our staff in years passed, and we grew as an outreach for the church to our community.
Faith is a school that we can be proud of thanks to our director, Beverly Sims. Beverly recognized, years ago, the value in pursuing the NAEYC accreditation. She led us through this, sometimes challenging, process of attaining the highest quality of early childhood education a school as ours can attain. Her positivity and diligence trickled down to all the staff. We persevered through the process and were awarded the National Association of Educators for Young Children accreditation. Every five years since, we have renewed this.
Our classes are full at registration as we welcome families touring our school with an open door policy. Waiting lists are the norm. Faith is a special place. As the song we sing in chapel says, "The church is not a building, the church is not a steeple, the church is the people." The school is not just the classrooms, teachers and staff, or even the credentials. Our school is a coming together of families, parishioners, and the community with the common goal of providing the best early childhood experiences we can for our children, our future.
As we reach into the community, my experience is that the community comes to us. A few years ago, a young mom, husband incarcerated, raising 3 children, found herself in our parking lot with a broken down car. We often chatted at God's perfect timing as her daughter was awarded a full scholarship to Faith, and graduated from our Kindergarten. They came one of our Angel Tree families at Christmas. Mom's illness was discovered one morning as she leaned against my door after dropping her daughter off. We called EMS and had her quickly to the hospital for care. Over the years, we've shared the joys of new babies, but also the sadness of loss. Losing a child through illness or death has also been a part of our outreach. We've rejoiced as well as mourned with families. Due to the tragic death of one of my former students, a father, in his grief, found his way to Beverly's office. His daughter was a teenager, but Faith was a place of solace, and the door was open. We've hoped for pennies to help a student with a frightening childhood cancer, and provided prayers and meals for families facing loss and divorce.
Now that I am a grandmother of seven and have watched my own children and grandchildren receive the benefits our school has to offer, the favorite part of my job has changed. Being a fly on the wall for little Mott-Smith's was truly a gift, but that part of my life has all too quickly come to an end. If you haven't visited our garden, you should. There is no subject that cannot be taught in a garden. A child whose hands are covered with dirt will also have his/her serotonin levels raised, as will the teacher's! The Eastern bluebirds nest nearly every year and the Fairies moved in several years ago. If you have an interest in gardening or feel called to be a Fairy Godparent, your Eden awaits.
It took me a few years, maybe a few decades, but I now recognize God has a purpose for each child that walks through my door. Sometimes the reason doesn't appear until they return as a parent themselves with a little one, but more so, it is because our family of Faith will become a refuge for a difficult year. Trying family relationships affect children more than meets the eye, and when parents are struggling, getting the child to school may be the best they can do. Hungry tummies, forgotten lunches or jackets, are the result. Conferences often become times of offering a lending ear, words of encouragement and hope. We agree to pray together over the year. I am always amazed by what God has in store. I am no longer the youngest teacher on staff, I am more of the grandmother. By the grace of God, I am still here to see His work in action. It takes Faith Preschool and Church, children, parents and grandparents, teachers and staff, to continue to accomplish the task that was begun so many years ago through your church. I trust that whoever walks through my door has been sent for a reason. We are all blessed through His purposes. Faith continues this work everyday a child walks through the door.

Drawings > Ledger Lines, 2022
Ledger Lines
Created for RE-covery II (43 Artists Re-Imagine 43 Books)
Curated by Michele Burgess & Bill Kelly
Art Around Books (5 Canal Street, Bellows Falls, VT)
Opening Reception: October 15, 2022 (3pm-7pm)
October 15-January 2, 2023
Ledger Lines description:
This Vermont General Store ledger (1829-1830) is full of names, prices, and sundries, recording various purchases by local townspeople. Ruth Antoinette Rodriguez, poet and bookstore owner of Antidote Books (Brattleboro, VT), gifted this book to me. She knew I used ledgers in my artwork. Immediately, I was inspired by the exquisite handwriting and meticulous record-keeping found throughout the ledger's 400+ original pages. However, the book sat in my studio for nearly 2 years before I knew how I would use it. RE-covery II provided the perfect opportunity to work with the book, rescuing it from being kept as just another artifact in my collection.
I used natural indigo ink and some gold mica ink to transform the book with the repeating symbol of a line. The unbound pages, in their weathered beauty and once-mundane practicality, serve as the perfect backdrop for each drawing. Each page is unique. Some pages contain hundreds of lines. Others contain one line. While others contain shapes that began with the gesture of a line. As the book transformed, the form of the line transformed.
Ledger Lines is both a complete artwork and an artwork that contains many pieces of artwork within it. The process was performative, an act of repetition that was meditative. On the cover, I painted an imaginal landscape, focused around a burn mark that was present when I received the book. The burn mark reminded me of a sacred symbol or a punctuating gesture. It hints at the power of a single mark amidst a vast landscape, like a punctuation mark that impacts the expression of a series of words.
Viewers may purchase individual pages in the order that the pages appear. Once purchased, the buyer must sign their name on the corresponding line behind the front cover. By purchasing a page, the buyer is a participant in the performative nature of the project.
(All ink used in Ledger Lines was made by Katherine West.)

since the american idol top 4's performance, i can't seem to get elliott out of my head. everyday i think about him. when he wasn't eliminated yet, i thought of how he'd fare in his coming performances. and after he was eliminated, i thought of what a waste it was to lose such a good singer and not see him in the finals. oh well, that's life!

District iPads create more problems than solutions
Jimmy Muncy|September 21, 2015
In its third year of existence, I think we have enough retrospective to safely say that the district's 1:X initiative is a failure.
This is not to say that it has been totally ineffective. I'm sure that some kid out there is getting straight A's thanks to the convenience and technological superiority of their school owned iPad.
But I've never met that guy.
The students whom I've encountered instead have a laundry list of complaints, pretty much the opposite of the "thriving, 21st century digital citizens," as the 1:X mission statement optimistically predicted that students would become.
The iPads, first of all, are about as reliable as a screen door on a submarine. Since they are connected to the school's Wi-Fi network, even when used at home on a personal connection, any sort of failure in the district's patchwork system will result in loss of Internet connection.
As if that wasn't enough to drive someone to renounce all technology and join an Amish community, then you have the overstuffed bureaucracy that manages the maintenance and repair of these iPads. As of now, there is no readily available information on the Hebron High School website regarding who to contact if you have a problem with your iPad. The lack of information seems almost sinister, as if behind it all is an ex-KGB intelligence officer in an dingy office scattered with pirozkhi crumbs, plotting the fall of the United States. The site is not even updated with the new technology administrator, although this is understandable; since the inception of 1:X, there has been a virtual revolving door in the position. The amount of effort required to do something so simple is the reason that most iPads find more use as paperweights than in classrooms.
In addition, with some exceptions, teachers find iPad use in class distracting at best. And who can blame them? It takes a superhuman effort for many to focus on what is being said to them in a lecture when they have the entire Internet literally at their fingertips. Of course, the district tried to remedy this problem by restricting the apps that could be downloading onto the iPad. Unfortunately, they went about it in their usual clumsy way, and what was supposed to be a streamlined checking process has become a marathon that seems to have no end in sight.
With the myriad issues that the school and even the district is having with this attempted "groundbreaking, transformative installation," I'm forced to think that the administrators in the shadowy headquarters of the district are possibly the most shortsighted people on earth. But maybe not. After all, former superintendent Dr. Stephen Waddell retired soon after the advent of 1:X. The more I look at it, the more this appears to be a dastardly plot worthy of a James Bond movie. The only difference is that, unlike Bond, there's nothing we can do but grin and bear it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Typhoid Mary: a selfish monster, or a hounded innocent?
They called her Typhoid Mary. They believed she was sick, that she was passing typhoid fever from her hands to the food that she served. They said she should have known.
But Mary wasn't sick. She hadn't done anything wrong.
Fever casts a brilliant light over the life of a figure once described as 'the most dangerous woman in America', and Mary Beth Keane's fictional account is as fiercely compelling as Typhoid Mary herself.
This reading group guide for Fever includes an introduction, discussion questions, and ideas for enhancing your book clubThe suggested questions are intended to help your reading group find new and interesting angles and topics for your discussion. We hope that these ideas will enrich your conversation and increase your enjoyment of the book.
Mary Mallon was a brave, headstrong Irish immigrant who journeyed alone to America. She began as a laundress, but with an innate talent for cooking, Mary ascended the domestic service ladder and worked as a cook for upper-class families. Unbeknownst to Mary, she left a trail of Typhoid fever and death in her wake. One "medical engineer," proposing a new theory of "asymptomatic carriers," traced the fever back to the woman we now know as "Typhoid Mary." To prevent Mary from further spreading the disease, the New York Department of Health isolated her on North Brother Island for three years. A condition of her release was that she would never cook professionally again. But Mary's passion for cooking, combined with the meager alternatives available to her, propelled her to defy the edict. In Fever, Mary Beth Keane brings early twentieth century New York City alive—the neighborhoods, the bars, the mansions, the factories, the rising skyscrapers and the perils of city life. Keane's retelling of Typhoid Mary's life transforms a tabloid interest into a complex and unforgettable character.
1. The story of Mary Mallon exemplifies a conflict between personal liberty and public health. Examine both sides of this conflict, discuss whether you think Mary's case was handled well, and consider how it would have been dealt with today.
2. In early twentieth century New York, class and background dictated a person's prospects. Find moments in the text when people discriminated against Mary as a poor Irish woman. How does Mary handle these situations? Are there any instances when Mary uses her identity to an advantage?
3. Mary and Alfred live together as an unmarried couple. Many people felt these circumstances were inappropriate, and the issue arises repeatedly. Are there any consequences to their situation? Would things have turned out differently had Alfred proposed to Mary?
4. The vibrant image of Mary's hat, "cobalt blue with silk flowers and berries cascading around the brim" (p. 63) stays with her during her exile on North Brother and into the future. What does the hat symbolize for Mary? Consider when Mary encounters Mrs. Bowen wearing the exact same hat; Mrs. Bowen maintains that her hat is "similar, Mary, not identical. But I see what you mean." (p.67) Why does Mrs. Bowen deny that she has the same hat as her cook?
5. Alfred constantly moves between various odd jobs in the city and in Minnesota, while Mary seems to have few choices: cooking (or baking), laundry, and factory work. Discuss how gender affects the characters' options during this time. Consider Alfred and Mary, as well as the others in their building (Mila Boriello, Fran Mosely, Joan Graves, Jimmy Tiernan), Liza Meaney, and John Cane.
6. The media, particularly the newspapers, play a significant role in Mary's story. Reread the article printed at the beginning of the novel. (p. 14) How do reporters influence the outcome of Mary's trial?
7. Compare Mary's situation to the case of the dairy farmer upstate. Why and how were they handled differently?
8. Mary has a justified distrust of doctors and others in the medical profession, especially after learning that the gall bladder surgery so emphatically pushed on her would have been completely futile. Later, when the doctors try to explain the way germs and disease spread, to Mary it "sounded like a fairy tale meant for children, a little world too small for the human eye to see, or like religion, in that they were asking her to believe such a thing existed without giving her a chance to look at it, hold it, understand it." (p. 232) Consider the portrayal of the medical profession throughout the story. Compare Mary's experiences with doctors to Alfred's after his injuries. How do the doctors mislead Alfred?
9. Mary is an extremely headstrong and stubborn character. Yet, when Alfred refuses to taper off his medicine at the reduction clinic, Mary does not protest at all. Why does Mary let Alfred descend so far into addiction?
10. After her first release from North Brother, Mary abides by her promise not to cook. But as time passes she eventually is drawn back to the profession: first at the bakery, and then at the hospital. How does she justify her decisions, despite the risk to others? Do you think she believes she is responsible for passing Typhoid through her cooking? Why or why not? At what point does she give in to the reality of her predicament?
11. The story is split into three sections: 'Habeas Corpus', 'Liberty' and 'His Banner Over Me Is Love. Discuss what each part-title illustrates about the events that happen within the section.
142 Why do you think the Epilogue comes from Mary's own voice, in the first person? How does this shift affect your reading of the final pages of the story? Do you gain any further insight into Mary's character from these pages?
1. Alfred uses the Oppenheimer cure to conquer his alcoholism. Research and discuss this method: What exactly does it entail? When did it become popular? What were the success rates? Were there other 'cures' prevalent during this time?
2. Find an article about the real Mary Mallon. How does your reading fit into Mary Beth Keane's fictional version of Typhoid Mary?
3. Mary Mallon was one of the first healthy carriers to be discovered, but subsequently many more were identified. Research and share your findings on healthy carriers of disease. How did the government handle similar individuals in the future?

Hot Lava, Hotter Cuisine - Annual Hawai`i Food & Wine Festival Heats Up
Foodies take note! The annual Hawai`i Food & Wine Festival (HFWF) will return to the Big Island on Saturday, October 22, with a signature event, "Hot Lava, Hotter Cuisine." The dinner will be held at Hilton Waikoloa Village in partnership with the Waikoloa Beach Resort and Waikoloa Beach Marriott.
The theme, according to HFWF's executive director Denise Yamaguchi, "was something we came up with that would define the level of the talent coming to Hawai`i Island. It's a play on words. Everyone knows that lava is hot, and we wanted to express that the cuisine created by these chefs will be even hotter."
Yamaguchi points out that four of the six chefs cooking have won James Beard Awards and a fifth chef from Korea was 27th in Asia's Fifty Best Restaurants 2016. "What could be hotter than that?" she asks.
Participating will be some of the Mainland's most talented culinary artists, including Nancy Silverton (Mozza, Los Angeles, CA), Hubert Keller (Fleur by Hubert Keller, Las Vegas, NV), Michelle Bernstein (Seagrape, Miami, FL), and Bruce Bromberg (Blue Ribbon Restaurants, New York, NY). Favorite local chefs Hans Lentz (Hilton Waikoloa Village) and Jayson Kanekoa (Waikoloa Beach Marriott) will be representing Hawai'i Island. And Tae-Hwan Ryu (Ryunique, Seoul, South Korea) will be bringing his talents to Waikoloa Beach Resort as well.

How can the human wise up through the density of visible? Evidently it's a special quality and evidently it's not a merit of physical eyes. So it should be something inner secret body possessing an eye or eyes the density of which is smoke and mist.
