Scranton Reads, Part 2
Scranton Reads: Serendipity and a Priceless Moment of Affirmation and Gratitude
In reality, serendipity accounts for one percent of the blessings we receive in life, work and love. The other 99 percent is due to our efforts. Peter McWilliams
Every now and then, something happens that takes your breath away and makes you feel good all over. It creates a memory that lasts a lifetime.
Kitch and I had one of those moments three days after our Scranton Reads screening of Walking Into the Light at Gettysburg. It came in the form of a letter from two people who sat in the front row during the screening.
Rather than try to explain what happened, I would like to share the letter and the moment with you.
Dear Dr. Mussari,
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation of "Walking Into the Light" in Scranton on Wednesday evening. It was truly an emotional experience for both of us. Having lived in North Plainfield for 32 years, raised three children who went through the school system, and having taught there for 22 years, your film was truly exciting and thought provoking for both of us.
For the past three days I have been reflecting on your film. I am happy and proud to realize that North Plainfield is a town that truly portrays America on its best day almost 365 days per year. It is a town where people of many nationalities work and play together every day. I honestly never thought about it before. Maybe it should be a "role model" for the world.
This is not new to the town. In the year 2000, our youngest son, Kevin, was a senior in high school. He shared the role of co-captain of the varsity soccer team with a Hispanic boy, who was a good friend of his. Our son excelled at languages, and after taking Spanish for five years, and having many Spanish speaking friends, he became quite proficient in the language.
At the Fall Pep Rally, the two co-captains came up with a plan to address the student body speaking their un-native language. Our son, Kevin, addressed the student body in Spanish, and his friend addressed the student body in English. The audience of approximately 1100 students went wild with applause and acceptance. I remember feeling so proud of the student body at that time.
I think your film captured the ability of young people to change their views of the world.
The young lady, Chelsea Blue, illustrated this, when she stated that her opinions of General Lee changed when she realized that he actually loved his country, and didn't really want the war. Kids don't always realize the different perceptions of people. This may well be the root of problems in schools, and the world in general. My hope is that the young people in your film will take what they learned and "pay it forward."
Thank you for taking the time to make such a film and to show it in Scranton. I'm sure the young people who attended the other night learned a lot.
Diane and Bill Perry
Thank you, Diane and Bill for giving us permission to publish your letter in our blog.
Thank you, for your kind and encouraging comments about the documentary and the work we have been doing in North Plainfield. The honesty and sincerity of your comments fill us with gratitude and appreciation that only a poet can accurately describe.
Samuel Johnson wrote 11 words that record what Kitch and I are feeling about your note:
Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks.

A Priceless Moment at Wilkes University
Saturday, April 7th, 2012
Teaching the Greatness of America as an Experience, Part 1
faceofamericawps.com
Nine-tenths of education is encouragement.Anatole France
A Priceless Opportunity
Life is a series of opportunities. Sometimes we see them, and we act accordingly. Unfortunately, many times they go unnoticed, and we miss the moment.
On April 3, Kitch and I entered the Marts Center on the Wilkes University campus to make the most of an opportunity. This Face of America journey began in September 2011 when we received this note:
We read the piece about your film … and would love it if you could come to our campus and speak about your important work with our education students sometime during the spring semester… We believe that area artists and educational leaders in all fields can help us prepare our students to be the best teachers they can be; not all learning happens in the classroom, as you are well aware.
Judy and Bob Gardner
Judy and Bob Gardner are exemplary Faces of America on its best day. They are teachers with a purpose. They want their students to hear other voices in their classroom and have real world experiences outside the walls of ivy. Their expertise is experiential learning, and their gift to Wilkes University and the students they teach is the Gardner Educational Forum Series.
Our assignment was to help their students understand how documentary film can be used to take students to places where they can learn important life lessons.
How do you explain 47 years of work in 90 minutes? How do you make it interesting and meaningful to students who live in the digital suburbs of Facebook and Twitter? It took a lot of thought and two weeks of intense preparation to get it right. Ultimately, I followed the advice of my mother as recorded in an inspirational thought typed in bold black letters at the bottom of one of Judy Gardner's notes:
BE YOURSELF!
Once I reached this conclusion, I felt a kind of freedom that is hard to explain, but wonderful to experience.
Kitch did not want the stress that comes with a presentation of this magnitude, so I did the heavy lifting.
My strategy was simple. I would do what I did in my classroom. Thinking of it as just another class in a much different forum, freed me from the restraints that fear and worry impose on speakers. I would use examples from our 2005 Miracle at Lake Placid Project and three others: What is America? (2001-2011), The Face of America (2010) and Gettysburg (2012).
In my mind's eye, Coach Herb Brooks and his team of lunch pail college kids is a classic example of American greatness, and our Miracle Project was a textbook case of experiential learning. It enabled 20 seniors to learn about the legendary coach, his philosophy, his team and their unprecedented victory over the Russians in the 1980 Winter Olympics.
Three trips to Lake Placid, New York, during the 25th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice provided students with an opportunity to connect with the place and the people who made the victory over the best hockey team on the planet happen. We attended the relighting of the Olympic Flame, the Mirror Lake party and the rededication of the1980 rink. From our classroom, students conducted interviews via conference calls with Patti Brooks, her children Kelly and Danny, Ross Bernstein, author of Remembering Herbie, and Wayne Coffee, author of The Boys of Winter.
We assembled a team of consultants including Julie Marvel, a University of Minnesota graduate and an accomplished athlete and public relations professional, songwriter Mike Lewis, graphic designers D.J. Pizzani and Colleen Connelly, and voiceover specialist Greg O'Brien. Their unique contributions added a special dimension to this experience.
The final episode in our What is America? Series, Shanksville, PA: A Place of Transformation, gave a voice to 11 cheerleaders from North Plainfield, New Jersey, who visited the Peoples' Memorial to the Heroes of Flight 93 in 2010 and 2011 with us. Each one of these students had a story to tell about life and learning outside the classroom. These students and their coach, Skip Pulcrano, opened the door to the North Plainfield School District for us.
The Face of America project is the link to the Gettysburg National Military Park and two people who I believed were essential to the lecture: 2d Lt. Emily Perez and Barbara Platt. Both Barbara and Emily are inspirational women of dignity, class, courage and service. They speak to the greatness of America in quiet acts of kindness and putting the greater good before their personal interests. Emily Perez is the inspiration for our Face of America project. Barbara is the inspiration for our Gettysburg project.
My close and life-changing encounter with the movie To Sir With Love in 1967 provided an ideal way to begin the presentation. Sidney Poitier's powerful portrayal of interim teacher Mark Thackeray is a textbook example of experiential learning. His decision to treat the students in his English class like adults and teach them survival skills by taking them out of the classroom provided the context I needed to frame my Gardner lecture.
While designing my PowerPoint presentation, I received help from several members of our 2005 Miracle team: Rob Anderson, Chris Boos, Ryan Doyle, Matt Harm, Stephanie Youngs, Karlina Zikor and D.J.Pizzani.
D.J. was not a member of the class. He was doing an internship in New Jersey, but he volunteered to help us. He designed the collage for the project, and all of the cover designs for our year-end events. This is an excerpt from his evaluation of the experience:
"It was incredibly beneficial to learn from Herb Brooks and his 1980 Olympic Team. Something you taught me, Doc, and came out of your course and this project is: If it wasn't difficult, it wouldn't be worth doing."
Ryan Doyle offered this discovery:
"I learned that life is about making good stories, sometimes even out of the worst situations. Be honest, be humble, work hard and above all don't be afraid of the world, make an adventure out of it."
Stephanie Youngs was very specific about her take away memory: "One thing I learned for sure is that nothing comes your way without any work involved!"
The lesson Christopher Boos learned from the Miracle team was personal and powerful:
"The triumph was a result of believing they could succeed, and then making it happen. Keeping that message in mind has given me the strength and courage to face numerous, obstacles…"
Rob Anderson learned three things during the Miracle Project: "The course taught me to keep focused, hard work pays off, never feel defeated."
Matt Harm liked the Mark Thackeray tone of the course: "We were treated as students, but we were also treated as professionals."
When it was finished, the PowerPoint presentation had 100 slides with 10 collages, 14 graphics and 144 pictures. Cartier Scott, an affable Wilkes University student, volunteered to help set up the computer for the presentation. He and Dr. Bob Gardner made sure everything worked perfectly.
A last minute decision to wear the USA Olympic jersey the students in my 2005 class gave me as a gift helped to reinforce the power of creative dreaming. Bob Kalinowski noted that moment in a comment he wrote after the presentation. "Right from the beginning, I was captivated and beamed with pride when you put on the USA jersey."
The Miracle at Lake Placid resonated with Virginia and John Zikor. They lived it as parents. Their daughter, Karlina, lived it as a student in the class. This is what Karlina wrote about her experience:
Learning about Herb Brooks and the 1980 Olympic Team made me realize that through hard work, dedication and team work anything is possible. The values that I learned from that team, project and class will continue to stay with me. I hope one day into the future, to eventually pass on what I learned from that class to my children.
The references to the movie To Sir With Love worked for Gerry O'Donnell. "To Sir With Love was in my mind one of the best movies ever," he wrote, "both from the acting standpoint but more importantly from the life lessons it taught… if you reached only 25% of the teachers in the room it will make this valley a better place!"
Sean McGrath liked the naturalization scenes included in the documentary Shanksville, Pa: A Place of Transformation. "I particularly thought about those people getting their citizenship. They beamed with glory – unlike the majority of Americans who were fortunate to be born American and miss the entire point!"
Skip Pulcrano, the coach of the cheerleading squad at North Plainfield High School, drove from New Jersey, to attend the lecture. He had several things to say about the presentation:
It was my pleasure to be there for such a great presentation. This was the first time I could actually just sit there and absorb and enjoy the moment.
I sincerely hope that all those in attendance, especially the young student teachers, adopt your words of truth and dignity, honestly spoken, and implement them into actions.
I think your presentation should be delivered to the entire faculty of the North Plainfield School District. We are always having teacher workshop days and incorporating your presentation would be a tremendous burst of motivation.
Thanks again for everything you and Kitch have done for our students and for the gift of such a wonderful presentation yesterday. You have our everlasting gratitude.
Joanne Chabalko, is the mother of a West Point graduate and the woman who introduced us to Emily Perez. She offered kind words about the presentation:
"When you showed Emily, I wanted to cry. Your work is more important than ever. I pray that you continue to be blessed with good health so you can continue your passion."
Our friend, Connie Wynn, attended the lecture with her husband Joe. They arrived early and they stayed late. Connie gave Kitch a beautiful bouquet of roses to celebrate her victory over breast cancer, and Joe snapped a number of digital pictures of the event. Connie's words and Joe's pictures lifted our spirits. Their comments validated all of the time and energy we invested in the event.
"You certainly blessed all of us yesterday with your beautiful presentation. You gave your presentation with love and compassion and it's so hard to find people who are compassionate about their work. This shows in each and every documentary that you both do. Don't ever stop teaching."
Several times during the presentation, my eyes and my heart connected with four former students who were in the room: Laura Haden, Joe Haberski, Bob Kalinowski and Shivaun O'Donnell.
During the Q&A, an education major from Wilkes told everyone in the room about her life as an Upward Bound student. She was quick to point out why she could relate to everything in the presentation. For an old teacher like me, it doesn't get any better than that.
We went to Wilkes University on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon in April to deliver a lecture about experimental learning. We left the university with a wonderful portrait of America at its best.
It is a rich painting of young, aspiring teachers who were learning. It is a statement about experienced, compassionate and caring teachers like Judy and Bob Gardner who were teaching by example. It contains snapshots of a reunion with formers students like Laura, Bob, Shivaun and Joe, old friends like Connie, Joe, Virginia, John, Joanne and Gerry,heart relatives Anthony and Sean and new friends named Cartier, Jennifer, Kristen and Skip. They were there to encouraging an old teacher in a new classroom to do his best. Everyone was making the most of a priceless opportunity.
In room 214 on the second floor of the Marts Center, Kitch and I experienced the greatness of America. It is a moment from our Face of America journey that we will never forget.
Jason Genovese, one of our former students and now a college professor is right:
"Students become much more motivated and interested when they get invested in field-based projects…and that results in real learning."
Mark Thackeray was right. Experiential learning at its best is teaching students how to be adults, and that includes teaching them courtesy, manners, standards and survival skills. It is encouraging them to reach up for the best edition of themselves.
Herb Brooks was right, "great moments are born from great opportunities." That's what we had on April 3, at Wilkes University.
Thank You, Judith,
Thank You, Bob,
Thank You, Friends, Former Students and Relatives,
Thank You, Wilkes University,
Thank You, America.

The LLM International Banking Law is unique; students can take advantage of the strengths of both a leading law school and a leading business school. Core and optional modules can be taken at the School of Law, the ICMA Centre and the Henley Business School providing them with an invaluable opportunity to acquire a unique legal and financial perspective of the banking sector.
The aim of the LLM International Banking Law is to train a critical pool of professionals in the key issues that the banking industry faces. The banking industry has recently gone through massive changes which have changed its structure, the way it operates and the very nature of what was thought to be a stable yet dynamic environment. The systemic nature of the banking sector gives rise to challenges that need expertise in both law and finance in order to be effectively and successfully addressed.
This LLM will enable students to identify common aspects in the dynamics and mechanisms of the banking industry and to address the new challenges that this sector faces. From a practical standpoint, this LLM programme will provide the tools to recognize the key elements to implement a successful financing technique by means of the analysis of theoretical issues and actual case studies. The LLM International Banking Law will define and analyse the core challenges and responses in key areas of international banking law. It will also identify and critically assess banking and hedge fund regulation as well as many other important issues in financial law related to risk. The corporate governance related dimension of the recent crisis along with many critical international banking law reform initiatives will also be examined as will the capital adequacy rules and Base III, and the nature, development and resolution of financial crises.
The programme is designed to be both theoretical and practical using case studies which will enable students to understand the issues that the banking sector faces and provide solutions whilst ensuring the successful and profitable operation and development of the sector.
On completion of the LLM International Banking Law, students will be expected to be able to understand the multi -disciplinary systemic nature of the sector, the challenges it faces and the means to address these challenges. The combination of legal and financial expertise that students will receive will enable them to become successful professionals in this sector.
The programme will also develop your practical transferable skills, including the ability to conduct independent research, both online and offline; time management, verbal and written communication, presenting and planning.

Largo al factotum (Abran paso al factótum) es un aria de la ópera El barbero de Sevilla de Gioacchino Rossini, interpretado en la primera aparición del personaje titular en el Acto Primero Escena III. Las repeticiones de "Figaro" antes de la sección final de "patter" son un ícono en la cultura popular del canto operístico. El término "factotum" se refiere a un sirviente o criado general y proviene del latín donde literalmente significa "[el que hace todo]."

Debido al uso constante de corcheas en una métrica de  con un tempo allegro Vivace, se considera que esta es una de las piezas más difíciles de interpretar para la voz de barítono. Esto, junto con la letra complicada en algunas de las líneas, insistiendo en superlativos italianos (siempre acabando en "-issimo"), la ha hecho una pièce de résistance en la que un barítono hábil tiene la posibilidad de destacar todas sus habilidades.

There's something incredibly comforting about Baked French Onion Soup. Who am I kidding? It's probably the broiled cheese and crouton together with a rich broth. I thought I'd try something a little different. How about Smoked French Onion Soup?
This soup takes a little while, but it's worth it in the end.
Cut the tops off of your onions. Peel the outer layer off the onions. You can also trim the bottoms off a bit so they sit flat. If you can leave the bottom intact, it will make it easier to slice the softened onions later, but either way works.
Brush the onion tops with vegetable oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Place the onions in your smoker. Leave them there for 2-3 hours or until they soften and begin to caramelize. If you want an intensely smokey soup, go ahead and leave them in there longer. There's a lot of broth, so it can handle the smoke.
When your onions are done, they'll look something like this. These onions could have been left in the smoker a while longer, but they were good.
Peel the outer layer off of the onions. It will have dried out considerably and become quite tough. Slice the onions into rings or pieces. I cut the onions in half, top to bottom, and then sliced.
Heat your stock put over a medium high flame. Add the other 2 tablespoons of oil and the garlic to the pot. Cook until softened and you can smell the garlic. About 2-3 minutes.
Add your onions to the pot. At this point, you have control over how caramelized your onions get. If you want them deeply caramelized, add a cup or two of your beef broth and simmer as long as it take to get them where you want them. You can also just lightly saute these onions for a few minutes before adding all of your broth.
Add the rest of you broth, if you haven't done so already. Simmer for at least 30 minutes, but preferably up to a couple of hours. The longer it simmers, the deeper the onion flavor and the more the smoke in the onions penetrates the broth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Turn your broiler on to high. Pour your soup into ovenproof bowls or ramekins. Place the bowls on a cookie sheet to make broiling easier.
Place a piece or two of the toasted baguette on top of the soup.
Sprinkle Generously with cheese and put in the oven. Keep your eye on your soup. The cheese will melt in only a couple of minutes. Some say the cheese should just be melted. I like it to start turning golden brown. Your choice.
Here's the masterpiece! It's great on a cold day — Especially when you've braved the cold to smoke the onions in the first place.
Feel free to add some herbs to the broth toward the end of the simmer session. Keep in mind that this is supposed to be a clean broth, so keep the herbs very finely chopped.
Add some red wine when caramelizing the onions instead of the broth. It will deepen the flavor and now your soup has wine in it.
You could put the baguette in the bottom of the bowl before adding the soup. I think it's fine this way as well, but I really like cheese toast, plus my bowls are really shallow.
Try smoking the onions with either a wine bath or using wood chips made from old wine barrels. That should deepen the flavor even more.

Sounds and looks totally delicious! I was just talking about grilling/smoking vegetables.
Thanks! I think I'll try to add some more vegetables to my outdoor cooking recipes this year. I haven't tried it myself yet, but I hear smoked potatoes are really good. Brush oil on the skin, add salt and pepper. Smoke until tender. I assume you could smoke them at 300-350 degrees, like you were baking them.

Why Pro-abortion Groups Flipped on the Filibuster

Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque, N.M. (Photo: Centrill/Dreamstime)
The New Mexico license plates are just about the spiffiest in the country: either the yellow one or the turquoise one. (There's at least one other, too.) I believe I have made this point before — in a journal two and a half years ago (here).
I'm back in New Mexico, for the same reason: to see the governor, Susana Martinez. And, again, I'd like to jot you some notes.
‐Still on the subject of cars: I see a Nissan Rogue. Is a rogue a good thing? It must be now, if they're calling cars that. (And there was the title of Sarah Palin's memoir, true.)
‐On the top of the Elks lodge here in Albuquerque, there is an elk — a stuffed one, or a statue. It looks utterly natural, with the mountains in the background.
‐There are some balloons in the sky — not little kids' balloons, from birthday parties; balloons like Jules Verne. It is not yet time for Albuquerque's annual balloon festival, but almost.
‐I travel streets called Princeton and Vassar. What is this? I thought I was in real America, and I'm seeing the names of these effete little schools back east? Then there is Yale and Wellesley.
What the . . . ?
‐I believe there is nothing more inviting than a golf course on a sunny morning. The impulse to peg it up is terribly strong. Or, as P. G. Wodehouse wrote, at the beginning of his story "The Heart of a Goof," "It was a morning when all nature shouted Fore."
The golf course I'm looking at is called Puerto del Sol — Port of the Sun. I do not see any water. There is an airport.
‐Pause for a language note? Someone asked me about this the other day. "Peg it up" means "tee it up," i.e., play golf.
‐I hit the road for Moriarty, about 45 minutes east of ABQ (as Albuquerque is often signified). I pass the exit for Zuzax — a very cool place-name. I also see this sign: "Gusty Winds May Exist." I have never seen that sign before.
I further see a sign for punkin chunkin' (or "pumpkin chunking"). Do you know what that is? They don't do it at Vassar. Ah, New Mexico is the "real America"! (So is Vassar, but we can save that discussion for another time.)
‐Moriarty is funny. I mean, it's interesting to have an Irish name in the midst of so many Spanish and Indian names. I believe the locals say "Moriarity." They sneak an extra "i" before the "ty." They say the name in five syllables, rather than four. Or is it simply misspelled?
‐A sign says, "Moriarty: Crossroads of Opportunity." Well, that's good.
‐Here at the Moriarty Municipal Airport, a tent is set up, at the end of the tarmac. Just outside the tent, a U.S. flag and a New Mexico flag are waving side by side. They look good together — fantastic, in fact. The New Mexican flag is super-attractive: with its yellow background and red Indian symbol of the sun. (Oops: I did not mean "Red Indian," but a red symbol of the sun that is Indian — Zia, specifically.) (This refers to a tribe in New Mexico, not to the late Pakistani strongman.)
‐A little ceremony will be held here, under the tent. Governor Martinez and other officials are marking the opening of a new facility by Google — which is going to test drones here, I believe. It is a very big deal for the area, and for the state at large.
‐I meet a man named Jace, born and raised in Moriarty. (Not sure about the born. I am about the raised.) He came to the airport with his father when it was new. He was six years old. There were rattlesnakes about. He shot them with his gun. Jace tells me, "I grew up with a gun in my hand."
In the course of our conversation, I ask him whether he knows how to ride. Yes. "My brother won a horse in a poker game when he was home on leave from Vietnam."
That is such an American story.
One more thing: I ask Jace where downtown Moriarty is. He gestures with his hand, laughs, and says, "Second tumbleweed from the right."
‐A lot of the men are in bolo ties. I wasn't sure whether people wore bolo ties in real life. I thought it might be something for TV shows and movies.
Also from Jay Nordlinger

{{{ this.title.rendered }}}
‐The mayor of Moriarty — I think that's what he is — presides over the ceremony. He says he's going to introduce some dignitaries. He introduces almost everyone in attendance. It would have been faster to introduce non-dignitaries.
‐One of the dignitaries is Sheriff Heath White. He looks unreal. I mean, he looks out of the movies, out of Central Casting — not like a real-life sheriff. He has a cowboy hat, boots, a huge belt buckle, and aviator glasses. His thumbs are hitched in his front pockets. He has a gun on at least one hip — I can't see the other. What an hombre.
‐Another of the dignitaries — I didn't catch his name — is billed as the fastest glider pilot in the world. Beat that, as Bill Buckley would say.
‐An economic-development officer, Myra Pancrazio, exults in New Mexico's victory. The state has snagged Google. New Mexico has gotten the better of "the country to the east" — she means Texas.
‐A different official, Jon Barela, of Martinez's cabinet, also speaks. One of his statements is this: "We have to wean ourselves off dependence on the federal government." New Mexico ranks first in this regard, dependence on the federal government — tied for first with Mississippi.
‐On the road from Moriarty to Santa Fe, there is one outstanding feature: a killer sky.
‐Also, I seem to be just about the only person for miles and miles. I grew up hearing about overpopulation — not just in the world but in America, specifically. We were all going to be choked to death by other people. Resources would dwindle. We would be clawing at each other's throats. When I got older, and out of the clutches of the Left, I discovered: Cripe, the country is barely inhabited.
‐Driving through Santa Fe, I see the Indian School. The sign says, "The Home of the Braves." Uh-oh. Is that legal? Hate speech?
‐The state motto is rather nice: Crescit eundo, "It grows as it goes."
‐I see something that seems too good to be true: the Shake Foundation. It does not look like a milkshake place, not from my angle. Maybe it's a medical foundation, seeking to help people who have the shakes? Nope, it's a milkshake place. And a hamburger joint. Right out of Norman Rockwell. Although the painter might not have envisioned green-chile hamburgers. Consider it a southwestern version of Rockwell.
‐Is that Gary Johnson, walking along? I think it is. Johnson was governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003, and the Libertarian nominee for president in 2012. Now he heads a marijuana company.
‐I see a young Indian guy riding a motorcycle. He has very long hair, in a very long ponytail. He looks really cool, free as a bird. He isn't wearing a helmet. I would recommend wearing a helmet. But I admit he looks really cool.
‐After a couple of days, I think, "I've seen more Indians than I usually see in a year." It depends on where one is living. While I'm thinking this thought, I also hear a dog not barking: "Have I seen any blacks?" There are very few black Americans in New Mexico. American demography is not uniform, coast to coast. I forget that, now and then.
‐Here in Santa Fe, I'm happy to see Lincoln and Grant streets, side by side — or at least at close quarters.
‐Here is something gag-making: the sign for the Inn on the Alameda: "That Enchanting Small Hotel in Old Santa Fe." It actually says that, right on the sign. You could choke from the preciousness.
Here's something I like about the sign: It gives the inn's phone number, and it is seven digits. A number like that looks strange to the eye now — too short. We are used to seeing an area code, what with cellphones. Seven digits is very old-school.
Once, Nat Hentoff, the veteran New York journalist, called me up and left a message. He gave his phone number — just seven digits. I'm sure he had been doing that for decades. In all the time I've lived in New York, he's the only one who has ever given me a phone number in seven digits.
‐Along the Santa Fe River, a sign says, ". . . flows to the Rio Grande." I'm sure it does. But today, the river looks like it could barely wet a Kleenex.
‐Any city can have good expensive food, really. New York has great expensive food. But an outstanding eating city will have good expensive food and good cheap food — which Santa Fe does.
‐At La Fonda, I have a killer grilled-cheese sandwich — a grilled-cheese sandwich with a variety of southwestern twists. With your check, they give you a survey — a form. The first question is, "Is the pricing fair?" I think, "Hmmm — I wonder what my favorite economists would make of that. Do free-marketeers spit on the concept of 'fair pricing'? Isn't a fair price what you're willing to pay for the thing?"
Yet somehow, I believe in a fair price. I imagine that's untutored. (Big Bill Buckley word, by the way: "untutored.")
‐The New Mexico governor's mansion is exactly what you would picture the New Mexico governor's mansion as being — perfectly southwestern, perfectly New Mexico.
‐With Susana Martinez, I ride to Las Vegas — not Las Vegas, Nev., where Wayne Newton performs, but Las Vegas, N.M., which is about an hour east and a little south of Santa Fe.
A man tells me a story: Years ago, he was working at a hotel in Las Vegas (N.M.). The night shift. A couple comes in. The man says, "Which way to the Strip?" "Excuse me?" says the clerk. "Where's the Strip?" repeats the man. It's obvious he means Las Vegas, Nev. The clerk says, "About 600 miles that way. You're in Las Vegas, New Mexico, not Las Vegas, Nevada."
The woman punches her husband — or whoever he is — on the arm and says, "I told you we should have stopped for directions."
‐Remember the Reagan-era Cold War movie Red Dawn? It was shot in Las Vegas — New Mexico. Ever seen, or heard of, the TV show Longmire? Shot in Las Vegas (again, New Mexico).
‐On the plaza here in Vegas, Martinez speaks to supporters at a restaurant called "El Encanto" ("the charm," or "the spell"). There is happy hubbub on the sidewalk outside. Lots of people want to meet Martinez and take her picture. There is a couple from the Netherlands — tourists. They weren't expecting the governor, obviously. They don't know who the governor is. They're just touring around. They have been to the Nevada Las Vegas, and thought it might be nice to see this other one. Susana is a bonus.
‐She makes one more stop, to a Kiwanis spaghetti dinner. Then she retires with her team to a joint called Dougie's. They serve burnt-cheese tacos. Ever had them? You'll like them: Cheese is melted into the outside of the tacos, making them all the more delicious.
And then come the fried Oreos for dessert — as good as the chocolate cake I had recently in Paris (France, I mean, not Texas).
‐Politicking involves a lot of standing — politicians stand for hours on end, greeting people, listening to them, and talking to them. I tell Martinez, "I've done more standing in the last two days, trailing you, than I do in a month. I'm wearing black sneakers. And I still feel it." She says she's in heels. And it seems she is untiring.
I tell her a famous story about Birgit Nilsson, the late Swedish soprano. She was once asked, "What does it take to sing Isolde" (a long and punishing role)? She answered, "A comfortable pair of shoes."
‐Back in Santa Fe, I take a walk, early in the morning. I approach a deer. He (she?) seems mildly concerned, but does not dart off. I have almost "communed with nature" . . .
‐There is a street called "West Manhattan." I think, "Yes, very West!"
‐At the entrance to the Santa Fe Airport, the sign says, "Please Be Noise Aware." I don't know what that means. But it strikes me as very good advice.
So is a visit to New Mexico. I'll see you.
Oh, one more thing, speaking of good advice: The walnut brownie at the Icebox Café in the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport? The bomb. I have had it twice now in the space of a month. What I want for Christmas is an Icebox Café at LaGuardia.
Okay, see you — thanks for joining me.

A family tradition emerges from its roots in Central Europe to America's beautiful west coast. Located in the historic downtown area of San Pedro, California, Mishi's Strudel Bakery & Café is a little taste of Europe where you're sure to enjoy homemade, handcrafted delights in our comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
Using a recipe drawn from the traditions of the old country, Mishi's Aunt, the renowned Ethel Pálfi, perfected her technique of strudel making in the '70s, and eventually brought it to sunny Southern California. As her fame grew and word spread of her unique recipe, the shop boomed. Her Hungarian Strudel Shop became a fixture on Main Street in El Segundo, California in 1977. Thirty years later, Ethel's famous recipe, molded with Mishi & Anikó's zest for the delicate pastry, puts us at December 6th, 2007: opening day of Mishi's Strudel Bakery & Cafe.

PearlFection Dentistry's orthodontist and orthodontic team have made the decision to expand their operating hours to accommodate patient demand in the Frederick Maryland and Urbana Maryland areas. With this decision, PearlFection Dentistry will now have orthodontic hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Dr Tigani and his orthodontic team offer both traditional braces, Invisalign and Tigani clear aligners. The choice of which orthodontic technology to use will be a decision made between the doctor and the patient, every situation is different. Some patients what clear aligners, others want blue brackets, others want the braces not to show or to show as little as possible. There is no one size fits all.
We will see new orthodontic patients, we will see orthodontic patients who are referred by other general dentists, we will see complicated orthodontic cases, we will see easy orthodontic cases, we will see orthodontic cases where all the patient needs is a retainer and we will see orthodontic patients who simply need a night guard. We will see adults who need orthodontic care and we will children who need orthodontic care. We will see orthodontic patents who only need a little movement in the front teeth to close a diastema who will be in braces for 2 months and we will see orthodontic patients who have teeth coming out of the middle of their pallet who will be in braces for years. Bottom line, we will see any orthodontic patient and we will give them exception dental and orthodontic care.
The really unique thing about PearlFection Dentistry, is that we don't need a patient to go outside our practice to have specialty procedures done before beginning orthodontic treatment. Sometimes an orthodontist will need a few teeth pulled. No problem, Dr Brian Chang, PearlFection's Oral Surgeon, will step in to do the extractions. Sometimes an orthodontic patient will need to have a periodontal issue cleared up before orthodontic treatment or braces can be started. No problem, Dr Ashley Seals, PearlFection's periodontist will do an evaluation and perform any periodontal surgery, deep cleaning or some other periodontal procedure so orthodontic treatment can begin. Sometimes orthodontic work requires both orthodontic work and prosthodontic or dentures or partials dentures or even implant supported dentures. When this happens, it can be incredibly complicated coordinating between so many specialists. Not to fear, at PearlFection Dentistry, you will have one primary doctor who will act as the quarterback and coordinate all the specialists so you get the treatment and outcome you deserve without things getting lost in the cracks.
Does Gum Disease Increase Risk of Heart Disease?
Recently, dentists, researchers, and doctors have begun to examine the link between oral health and overall health. One area they've focused on is the relationship between gum disease and heart disease.
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is inflammation of the gums. It can lead to the breakdown of the gums, teeth, and bone tissues that hold them in place. Heart disease refers to a broad set of conditions, including heart attack and stroke. Heart disease is caused by the narrowing or blockage of important blood vessels.
Keep reading to learn more about how these two conditions are related and what you can do to reduce your risk.
Osteoporosis: Some research suggests that lower bone density leads to bone loss in the jaw. This may eventually lead to tooth loss due to a weaker underlying bone.
Respiratory disease: Bacteria in the mouth can move to the lungs and cause infections such as pneumonia. This is more common for people with periodontal disease.
Cancer: Some research suggests that gum disease may increase the risk of certain forms of cancer, such as kidney, pancreatic, and blood cancers. More research is needed in this area.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA): Early research shows an association between RA and gum disease. However, more research is needed.
There are also some conditions that may increase your risk of developing gum disease. Research indicates that people with diabetes are at increased risk of developing gum disease. This is likely due to increased inflammation and greater risk of infections in general. The risk lowers if you manage your diabetes.
Pregnant women are also at increased risk of gum disease due to hormonal changes and increased blood flow.
Research shows some connection between gum disease and heart disease. Bacteria buildup and inflammation in the oral cavity eventually leads to narrowing and blockage of blood vessels. However, more research is needed to better understand the connection.
There are many healthy lifestyle habits you can use to maintain good oral hygiene and reduce your risk of gum and heart diseases.
Brush your teeth and tongue at least twice per day with a fluoride toothpaste. Ask your dentist to demonstrate the correct technique for brushing.
Floss between your teeth and gums at least once per day.
Only use teeth cleaning products that have the American Dentist Association's seal of approval.
Refrain from smoking or chewing tobacco.
Drink water that contains fluoride.
Eat a diet high in vegetables, high-fiber foods, low-sugar fruits, and vegetable-based proteins.
Maintain healthy levels of blood sugar, especially if you have diabetes.
See a dentist twice per year for regular cleanings and checkups.
Be mindful of early signs of gum disease, such as bleeding gums and constant bad breath. Let your dentist know if you have any of these symptoms.
Can I reverse the damage caused by gum disease?
Yes, gum disease can still be reversed if you are in the gingivitis stage of the disease, but not from the advanced form of the disease. To improve your gum health, brush your teeth twice per day with a fluoride toothpaste. Floss regularly using string floss, a water flosser, or special dental brushes and picks. Use mouth rinses, and have regular dental checkups and professional cleanings.
If gum disease is in the more advanced form, called periodontitis, you can take measures to control it. Scaling and root planning (deep cleaning), reduction of gum pockets (surgical treatment), and medication may be necessary.

Q: Eclipse detects error on value XML Attribute (within hibernate.cfg.xml) I have a hibernate configuration file that is being flagged in Eclipse.  Specifically, the property's value attribute, as shown in the last line below, is being flagged
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" />

The error messages is

Attribute "value" must be declared for element type "property"

Why is Eclipse flagging this?  How can I update my Eclipse such that it no longer labels this an error?
By the way, I know I can rewrite the property element (like below) and avoid the error, but I shouldn't have to.
    <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class"> oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property>

A: Eclipse is just going by the DTD you've referenced. According to that DTD, the <property> element has no attribute named value.
<!ELEMENT property (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST property name CDATA #REQUIRED>

So your XML is invalid, which is what Eclipse is warning you about.
Perhaps Hibernate is tolerant of the XML content you're using, but that's in conflict with its own DTD.
Perhaps Hibernate 4's DTD has been corrected, or you can use schema-based XML instead of DTD.

Over 92 percent want more protections for Pisgah
October 3, 2018 / News
The Forest Service is completing a long-term plan that will decide how much of the Pisgah-Nantahala National Forest is cut and how much is protected over the next three decades.
Over 22,000 public comments on the plan have flooded the Forest Service, and over 92 percent of the comments support more protected areas.
The deluge of public comments has caused the Forest Service to postpone the release of their final draft plan until early 2019. The Forest Service said that more time will allow the agency to integrate its response to an unprecedented number of public comments into the final draft plan.
The 1.1-million-acre Pisgah-Nantahala National Forest is the second-most-popular national forest in the country, with near 7 million visitors last year.
According to an analysis of the 22,000 comments conducted by Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine, 20,454 comments favor more, stronger, and permanent protections for Pisgah; 1,711 comments were against protected areas or wanted more logging.
The comments were as diverse as the forest itself, written by eight-year-olds and octogenarians, from rural and urban areas, and across the political spectrum. Some were hand-written, passionate pleas for stronger protections, while others were multi-page analyses of the legal and scientific basis for more protected areas.
"The public has sent a strong, clear message to the Forest Service: permanently protect more of the Pisgah-Nantahala," says Hannah Furgiuele, organizer of I Heart Pisgah, a coalition of over 100 businesses and organizations—and thousands of individuals—who support more protected areas in Pisgah.
Comments requested that dozens of special recreational and biological areas in the Pisgah-Nantahala receive permanent protection, including the corridors of the Art Loeb Trail, Bartram Trail, Benton Mackaye Trail, and Mountains to Sea Trail. The Big Ivy/Craggies received more comments in favor of permanent protection than any other area in the Pisgah-Nantahala. Comments also frequently highlighted the Black Mountains, Snowbird Creek, Daniel Ridge, Cedar Rock, Bald Mountains, Mills River, Tusquitee Bald, Terrapin Mountain, Unicoi Mountain, Santeetlah Creek, Mackey Mountain, Cheoah Bald, Bluff Mountain, and Panthertown Valley.
Some comments expressed opposition to any new protected areas, citing concerns over access, hunting, and populations of game species like deer and grouse. Others wanted to see more timber harvests to support regional lumber and wood products businesses. The vast majority of comments asked the Forest Service to permanently protect more of Pisgah's scenic vistas, clean water and trout streams, waterfalls, rare species habitat, trail networks, and recreational hubs.
"We applaud the Forest Service for taking the time to analyze the public comments, and we appreciate the Forest Service for providing many public comment opportunities," says Furgiuele. "The public has expressed overwhelming support for more protected areas. We are hopeful that the voices and values expressed in the public comments will be reflected in the final plan."

[Holmes] walked past the couch to the open window, and held up the drooping stalk of a moss-rose, looking down at the dainty blend of crimson and green. . . ."There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion," said he, leaning with his back against the shutters. "It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers."
I'd add something else, but I'm afraid I don't have anything more sage than what's already there. But the beauty of nature has alway sparked my faith (and signaled to me that there must be a connection between the science of nature and the designs of whatever divinity exists, notwithstanding that - chance or otherwise - we are surely conditioned to find nature beautiful) and it seems to me that one who does not see the divine in Spring's early blooms is unlikely to see it anywhere else, either.
Deep thoughts come at the strangest times.


Emerson was all about wearable, urban style with an artistic twist. I went to the show early this morning (9/9, 9 AM) and despite my FNO exhausting schedule, I felt quite relaxed dreaming of my next summer vacations in the Greek islands. Various shades of blue reminding me of the sea, of grey that is cool and neutral, of absolute black with silvery details and of purple and nudes just made my day, together with the fact that I had a better connection and a slightly deeper knowledge of my brand new iPad device and applications. Nevertheless, it's still hard to get connected to the Internet at Lincoln Center if you don't have 3G. So I'll try to get it. Anyway, the Emerson looks were great, with fluid forms and more tailored pieces in one delicious summery cocktail. I loved the prints, the sophisticated coexistence of party looks and corporate styles and the matching with elegant simplicity and geometrical details. Overall, I could wear almost everything from this collection, indulging myself into the endless game of asymmetries and symmetries.
Apart from being in the right place at the right time, I am tall and slim – fashion magazines will always like that. I'm like an extra spin on celebrity, event and media. It could be that the glossies love me too because, like them, I am glossy. My self sculpted image is unique. I'm am art.
My post pop art show is a combination of art, fashion and social critique. I'm currently looking for sponsorship so the show can go ahead.
I have always found it fascinating how they can influence. I have taken their lead and used the tools of the media and advertising. Images say so much.
My favourite event o far was the fabulous PPQ Autumn Winter 2011 London Fashion Week. From the moment I stepped out of my black cab, I was well received. The press I got following that appearance was amazing.
When I turn up on the front row of these fashion shows, I don't want to steal the limelight from the designer, so I try to blend in. But as you can imagine, that doesn't always go to plan.
That is probably the only thing that will never go out of fashion. Especially in this country. It is always raining!
Seeing myself in the Sun Newspaper and in print in general, is a dislocation.
Who was it who said 'We have the means of production'? Well, we do now. I have my own blog, it's a brilliant form of communication. Using my blog I can broadcast ideas, be easily found and comment on things I would otherwise not be able to.
I did a charity event for the Haitian Earthquake disaster. I won't say where it was, but the ceiling was way too low. I won't ever be going on stages with low ceilings ever again.
Unlike the archetypal socialite blonde bombshell she encapsulates, Pandemonia will never age – and boy, does this make the fashion world stand up and pay attention. Challenging what people perceive as art, she is truly breathing a breath of fresh air, or helium, to the typical London Fashionista.

Q: How can I download Minecraft from Aptoide? I am trying to download Aptoide through Safari to get the latest version of Minecraft, but it keeps sending a message that Safari cannot download this file. How do I do this?

A: From Aptoide (emphasis mine):

Aptoide is the largest independent Android app store and allows one to setup and manage your own Android Store.

You cannot directly run Android software on an Apple product.
Look for Minecraft on the iOS app store or download it directly from the official site for OS X.

A new wine to the JH Meyer range, the Klein Rivier Chardonnay, like all his other wines, expresses the potential of the vineyard site and terroir, with little manipulation. Whole bunch pressed to old 500L barrels, this wine then underwent a very long, slow fermentation, resulting in incredible texture, richness and nuttiness. Expect a certain richness and mouth-filling palate of oatmeal and yeasty complexity; contrasted by ripe peach, a hint of minerality and a savoury notes on the finish.
