Irene Poulson

Irene Sessions Poulson
1920 - 2010
Irene Sessions Poulson, 89, of Bountiful, Utah, died peaceful of natural causes, Saturday, February 13, 2010 at her home.
She was born July 28, 1920 to Alvin and Alice (Hogan) Sessions, in Salt Lake City. After graduating from Davis High School in 1939, she briefly attended the University of Utah before being called to a Japanese-speaking mission in Hilo, Hawaii in 1941. Following the attack of Pearl Harbor, she worked her way back to the United States aboard a troop ship.
She married Dahl Roger Poulson in the Salt Lake Temple on November 18, 1942. He preceded her in death on June 26, 1999. They shared over 50 wonderful years together serving their family and countless others in many parts of the world while in the military.

She served in community and civic groups throughout her life, and later years volunteered to drive the elderly to doctor's appointments.
She perfected talents ranging from seamstress to ceramics and even carpentry. She loved to garden, and watch the birds. At age 11, she ran her own popcorn stand in St. Louis, selling the fluffiest, hottest and freshest popcorn in the city, but her greatest talent was serving others throughout her life.

My response to public debate about the Adelaide decision

Sunday, February 12th, 2017

Criticism has been leveled at the process and decision to deny rezoning of the Adelaide property on Rt 250 in Crozet. I stand behind my vote to deny Adelaide to uphold important features of the Crozet master plan. I encourage residents to study the facts about this project and the background on zoning and the zoning process. Hopefully this information will provide some answers and a broader understanding of the decision making factors involved. I welcome questions from constituents.

Did we vote “against inclusivity” in Crozet?
Assertions have been made that the extra 40+ units being requested for Adelaide (for a total of 80 instead of the approximate 35 by right) would have been available for use by people of moderate and low income, starter homes for young families, police and fire staff, and retirees.

While fifteen percent (12) of the units to be constructed in Adelaide’s 80 units would have met the guidelines for affordability, with a purchase price near $220,000, the remaining 68 units would not have been “affordable” by county guidelines, as their offering prices would have been $300,000 to $400,000. In addition, there is no affordability requirement beyond the first owner for any of these units.

There is no county rule which prevents construction of more affordable units.

Supervisors who voted to deny the application have been criticized that they “voted against inclusivity and against the recommendations of experts they appointed.” The staff have explained to the board and citizen groups that there are different interpretations of the elements of a master plan. The staff makes a recommendation to the planning commission. The planning commission are a hard-working and dedicated group of citizens who study the plans and the recommendations of the planning staff and make their own recommendation to the supervisors. Their recommendation may or may not agree with that of staff about emphasis on the elements of the master plan.

These combined recommendations come to the Board of Supervisors to help them evaluate the plans and if the expectations of the greater community are met. As staff have said, it is up to the board to decide the most important elements of the master plan for a particular application.

Does this vote “prevent Albemarle from building trails and connections”?
Supervisors who voted to deny the application have been criticized that their vote “prevents Albemarle from building trails and connections and it pressures growth in the rural areas. It forces us to build closer to our neighbors and environmental features.”

I disagree with these points. The Crozet Trails Crew members have built miles of trails through older neighborhoods and over easements dedicated by forward thinking applicants, who understand that amenities such as these are of small cost and great benefit to the sale of their properties.

There are no rules which force an applicant to build closer to environmental features on a property. On the contrary, there is plenty of encouragement to be as protective as possible. By right development provides flexibility to the applicant to make a community a better place, for new residents and current residents. A by right development can be done using the current density (for example, one unit per acre) without any zoning process if the application meets the comprehensive plan and the zoning.

Two recent examples in Crozet of by right neighborhoods are Foothills Crossing 1 and Westlake. These projects have included many features of applications for rezonings because the applicants wished to do an exemplary job, but they were not required to do so to build their neighborhoods.

Some examples of this above-and-beyond design are:

  • Building connecting roads outside the project to further the long range road network;
  • Building or dedicating land for trails to connect new residents to their greater community;
  • Protecting established forests and stream greenways to an extent greater than required;
  • Providing sidewalks and vehicular connections to other neighborhoods; and
  • Providing street trees for the enjoyment and increased attractiveness of the neighborhood to residents and prospective buyers.

Does this vote “permanently eliminate the opportunity for affordable housing”?

Supervisors who voted to deny the application have been criticized that denial of Adelaide rezoning “permanently eliminates the opportunity for affordable housing.” The facts are that there are already many units of affordable housing in Crozet. An exciting new development is that Habitat for Humanity is building affordable units in Wickham Pond. The Wickham neighbors are planning to join the construction crews as volunteer builders and are working to assist their new neighbors. Since Habitat will hold the mortgages, these units will be permanently affordable, rather than just to the first owner.

Some other examples affordable units are:

  • Apartments over offices and stores in Old Trail Town Center and Clover Lawn;
  • A soon-to-break-ground apartment project of 123 units of affordable homes with a range of rental costs at the Vue on Jarman’s Gap;
  • A soon-to-break-ground apartment and town house project of more than 100 units at Old Trail; and
  • An approved town house project on Orchard Road with fifteen percent of units affordable.

In a November 2016 report to the Planning Commission, the housing officer reported results of County affordable housing policy from 2004 to 2016 – that more than 1000 units were proferred.

  • 387 of those 1000 units are in the Crozet Growth Area.
  • $1.5 M in cash contributions were accepted, most of which was prior to 2007.

There were more than 4000 residential units approved for Crozet between 2004 and 2008.

Development of these units has been slow, with only 20 percent of the affordable units countywide constructed to date. A bit more than 50 percent of the proffered cash has been received. This delay is due to the recession and the large number of approved units which have not yet been constructed. Cash proffer balances are due at intervals as the project is developed.

Additional reasons for my vote

I thought that the density on the edge of the growth area, surrounded by forest and rural uses, should be at the low end of the range suggested in the comprehensive plan and master plan for Crozet.

The site of this application is constrained by slopes, streams, and limited points of visibility for entrance onto Rt 250. There are hills in both directions which limit the time when a vehicle entering the roadway can be seen by a driver on 250.

There were no vehicular and pedestrian connections to other neighborhoods, so every trip for services would need to access Rt 250. VDOT revenue sharing improvements to the area are years away.

The highest density buildings were placed at the highway, further encroaching on the rural nature of the State Scenic byway.

Zoning 101

Sunday, February 12th, 2017

Zoning was established in the County in 1970s. While not in place universally across the state even today, zoning rules allow a predictability to land use which brings comfort to landowners, that they can reasonably anticipate what land around theirs might be used for in decades ahead.

Zoning also assists the county in planning and implementing infrastructure for new residential development as growth is anticipated. While this has been the goal of residents of western Albemarle for forty years, the delivery of these supporting features has lagged behind the arrival of new residents.

In the 2007 election season, the most important issue from citizens at their doors by far was the increase in population and no delivery of increased services. Long-time residents and newcomers alike were disappointed that the promised items on which their developments were based had not been delivered.

Some examples. Jarman’s Gap Road improvements were on the planning list since before the approvals of Greyrock, Wayland’s Grant and Bargamin Place. The early 1990s approvals for those hundreds of new homes was based upon the road improvements and sidewalks. The road was completed in 2010, and road and sidewalks are well used today.

Serving a 35 square mile area in western Albemarle, the Crozet Library was in need of expansion in 1988, falling well below the state standards for library services. It too was completed in 2010. Both of these projects enjoyed strong community support to be achieved.

Background on The Growth Area

Sunday, February 12th, 2017

The Crozet Growth Area was created in 1980 when the urban ring growth area around the City was created. The Crozet area already had water and sewer services for its manufacturing plants and was thought to be an ideal place to expand residential units and provide efficient and cost effective services, close to existing treatment plants. Since then interceptors have been improved to deliver sewage to the Moore’s Creek treatment plant east of the City. Improvements to seal out rain infiltration and replace caps on access points have been completed. Further improvements to handle increased capacity are in the planning stages.

The community made its own growth plan in 1980. Behind the scenes from 1980 to 1990, many properties changed hands in preparation for new growth and development. When these new projects came to light, Crozet residents requested to be the first community to participate in master plan development. The first master plan was adopted in 2005 and was a learning experience. Lack of transparency and errors in data presentation left citizens angry that the promised population buildout of 12,500 (for a community of 1200 at the time) had evolved behind the scenes into 25,000. The 2010 master plan review brought the buildout numbers to approximately 16,000 (still a ten-fold or more increase in population).

The next review scheduled in 2015 has not yet occurred. This postponed review has on its agenda consideration of density ranges on the circumference of the growth area where the rural area is across the street. . On the master plan map, the land west of Cory Farm remained yellow during the 2010 review, as a range of 3-6 units per acre, because it had the potential to be connected to other developments on that side of the street to reduce impacts. In discussion during the master plan meetings, the expectation was that it would develop as had its companion on the rest of the farm, Cory Farm neighborhood.

The Crozet Citizens Advisory Committee, CCAC, was created by the board of supervisors eleven years ago as a buffer between the community engagement on the master plan implementation and the board of supervisors. Members are from different neighborhoods, businesses, perspectives, and all meetings are open to the public, advertised and now, live streamed.

The community of Crozet, through its Master Planning process, has always supported the recommendation that with any rezoning there be included 15 percent affordable housing. The current master plan has multiple citations regarding the protection of Rt 250 from further development and that high density should be focused, along with previous county investment, to downtown. Dense developments which are in downtown and provide the high performance desired have been well supported by the CCAC and community.

County affordable housing policy results from 2004 to 2016 include over 1000 units. 387 of those affordable units are in the Crozet Growth Area. $1.5 M in cash contributions was accepted, most of which was prior to 2007. There were more than 4000 units of all types approved for Crozet between 2004 and 2008.

Why Rezoning?

Sunday, February 12th, 2017

When an applicant desires to increase the housing density beyond the current zoning, for example, R-1 (one unit per acre) to 3-6 units per acre, the process allows for approval of that increase if the impacts of those extra units can be dealt with in the particular location and according to the application plan.

Important considerations related to decision-making are:

  • Is the rezoning in compliance with the comprehensive plan? If not, a comp plan amendment must be considered and approved first.
  • Is the character of the community maintained?
  • Are there pedestrian and vehicular connections with other neighborhoods to avoid every trip for services entering a major roadway?
  • Are there sidewalks to connect the new residents to their greater community?
  • Are there possible ways to ameliorate any traffic increases to permit the surrounding roadways to function as before the rezoning?

In addition, the site plan requirements for the rezoned development include:

  • Control features to prevent stormwater runoff off site
  • Stream buffers 100 feet on each side of a stream
  • Sidewalks and street trees along interior streets and to screen utilities from the roadway and adjacent residences

How Payday Loans Work

Currently, there are many different types of loans available in the United States. While every person is likely already familiar with the concept of larger mortgage and car loans, many individuals may not be fully aware of the many possible credit options meant to provide small, yet ultimately very necessary funds as quickly as possible. While credit cards are certainly very popular, applying for a new card may sometimes take several days before the application is approved, and then even up to two weeks to actually receive the real plastic card. Sometimes, especially when financial obligations arise very unexpectedly due to a medical emergency, waiting this long may not be possible and another option will need to be considered. One of such options is a payday loan, which can be obtained for a very small amount and the applicant can be approved a lot quicker than will normally be possible for all other types of loans.

A payday loan, as its name stipulates, is meant to provide a small amount of credit meant to last until the person's next pay period. In other words, an applicant that normally receives their paycheck on Friday, but needs a small yet-necessary loan on Wednesday, may be able to apply for a small payday loan to cover the necessary expenses that will appear in their next two days until payday. Consequently, many payday loans may be taken out for amounts as small as $100 dollars, and will very rarely exceed $1000, as their purpose is to only provide a way to cover the most essential of expenses. Additionally, every payday loan application will require the applicant to show proof of income, and their ability to repay the loan when it is due. In addition to the applicant's income statement, the only other document that will be required will be an acceptable form of identification, and most approved applicants will receive their funds on the same day.

Given that all payday loans are provided for applicants that have no personal savings and who may have already maxed out their credit cards, every such loan is considered very risky for the creditor. The default rate of payday loans is currently very high, and consequently many creditors will only lend small amounts, and the interest rate of their loans may also be very high. It is not uncommon to find payday loans with an interest rate of 25%, which is not annual but instead is applied biweekly or even every week in certain cases. Therefore, a payday loan of $200 dollars at this interest rate will require the borrower to return $250 after two weeks, and the debt amount will grow very, very quickly if the loan remains outstanding for a longer period of time.

I am appraising a large 26 active tract along a high traffice route. The site is the next site down from developments containing many national retailers. The site is prime for development of big box retail, small box strip and outparcels. But as we all well know this is not likely to happen soon. I would like to attempt to forecast a meaningful absorption for this site. I will be using CCIM site to do business population and spending trends but need to know the typical or feasible threshold for gross receipts per square foot for retail space. Does anyone subscribe to dollars and cents or are able to give me an opinion regarding this factor? Thank you for any help and time you provide to this question.

She Writes by the Seat of her Pants

From childhood, K. Victoria Chase enjoyed writing stories and plays and reading Christian romance. She received degrees in Criminal Justice and Diplomacy and worked as a federal law enforcement officer for several years before deciding to try her hand at writing a complete novel. Serial Games (Virginia Justice Book One) is the third completed work and the first published by Desert Breeze Publishing. Book two of the series, Marked by the Mob, will be released in November 2012. She has recently signed with Astraea Press for the first in her Santiago Brothers series, Rafael. Until she can make writing a full-time venture, K. Victoria Chase continues to work in the field of counterterrorism, identifying potential terrorists that threaten the United States and the world. She currently resides in Leesburg, VA and writes both clean and Christian interracial romance

Shirley: Welcome Tori. How did you come to be a writer?

Tori: I used to write short stories and plays when I was young, but when I was stationed in Colorado Springs, I started dreaming scenes of a love story and decided I needed to go ahead and do what I’d been considering for years: write a complete novel. Since I didn’t have any friends in Colorado (sad, I know), I had plenty of time to hammer out a 120k+ novel set in 1960s Alabama.

Shirley: Tell us how you come up with your characters.

Tori: This is a tricky question; they just come to me. Whether I’m listening to music or watching television, a shell of a character will come to me--usually a manly man (of course) and a strong heroine who needs to fall hard, haha.

Shirley: Of all the characters you've created, which is your favorite and why?

Tori:  Oh boy, another tough question. Hmmm, I’m writing a romance set in post-Apocalyptic United States, complete with zombies, and I’d have to say the hero, Roman, is my favorite character. He is a mix of hard and tenderness, a person who can make the tough decisions, but readily accepts the influence of a woman. I’m going to love writing his love story because he’s a man who needs a woman to love--you know the type? ;-)

Shirley: What accomplishment(s) are you most proud of, writing-related or not?

Tori: Writing related, I just landed on Amazon’s Top 100 Multicultural Romance Bestseller list reaching #65 for my newest release, Rafael: The Santiago Brothers Book One. This is a Christian interracial romantic suspense and it’s a real pleasure to see a book with a clean romance with a religious theme right there with the spicy books.

Shirley: How long does it normally take you to write a book? How many books do you write per year?

Tori: This year I’ve planned to write four books. As an e-published author, readers will forget about you if you don’t publish every quarter. I can write a book in as little as two months, and actually prefer a deadline since I’m such a procrastinator--and I work well under pressure. My first book took me eight months, the next thirty days, and the following three books I spent about two months or so on each.

Shirley: Wow! That's impossible for me! What kind of planning do you do before writing a novel?

Tori:  I write by the seat of my pants. Normally, I’ll start writing a kissing scene and then return to the beginning of the novel. After a couple of chapters in, I’ll write a short paragraph summary for each chapter detailing the main POV, the GMC (goal, motivation, conflict) and whatever backstory I need to introduce, then I’ll continue writing. Why the disorder? I’m too impatient  to write the summaries first! Only when I’m forced to chart some sort of a path will I, well, chart.

Shirley: In your opinion, what is the greatest danger or pitfall in the life of a writer?

Tori: I think not finishing the novel is the biggest pitfall. So many people are working on the same manuscript day in, day out, year in, year out. Just finish it. It won’t be perfect. People draft their stories over and over and you know what? By the time you write ‘the end’ (if you ever get there) the story would have changed. That’s one good thing about being a pantser (writing by the seat of your pants): you aren’t hindered by a sudden plot change and aren’t forced to restructure the whole plot--we just ‘go with it.’ I don’t mean to trivialize anyone’s writing process, but bestselling authors have said the same thing: finish the story. Honestly, you’re not going to learn every writing technique before you finish and you certainly won’t master them in your first manuscript; don’t get hung up on any excuse that has kept you from writing, ‘the end.’ Think about the amount of time you’ve spent on your current WIP (work in progress) and know that somewhere else, another writer has probably finished multiple stories and has published at least one, if not a few, AND is probably contracted on a few of them as well. That can be you. We want to read your novel, so finish it!

Shirley: What is the best lesson you have learned from another writer?

Tori: Other than write enough novels to publish one every quarter, and learning about Debra Dixon’s GMC book (wonderful tool), I’d have to say the best lesson was to submit my work often and to many industry professionals. If I hadn’t, and kept myself limited to CBA (Christian Book Association) agents/publishers, I wouldn’t be published today.

Shirley: I couldn't agree with you more. Tell us how you best reach new readers.

Tori: I still believe word of mouth is probably my biggest marketing technique. I know a few readers have found me on reader/writer forums such as Absolute Write and on Goodreads, but I’ve had just as many or more people tell me they’ve recommended my books to other readers. Plus, I blog fairly regularly on my publishing experiences.

Shirley: Good advice. If you were in the middle of a book signing, what would be the first question you would ask the potential reader?

Tori: How did you discover my book? I’ve read that social media (such as Twitter) does little to influence people to buy an author’s book, so I’d like to know if they bought the book because of a search in that category on Amazon, or if they heard about it through the reader “grapevine.”

Readers: Checki out how you can connect with Tori. And be sure to write in and answer Tori to get a chance to win a copy.

The Santiago Brothers Book One: Rafael

 The last time Detective Genie Green let a man humiliate her was her college sweetheart—never again. Yet, when former high school lothario Rafael Santiago returns to town as the consulting detective on her case, Genie’s rule of never allowing another man to best her is challenged. Can she trust him long enough to solve this case and get the glory?

Rafa can’t seem to outrun his delinquent past. When The Snakes, a criminal organization he used to belong to, begin murdering people from his hometown, he has a chance to right some of his past wrongs. Will arresting the murderers be enough to redeem him, or will a certain beautiful detective pay the ultimate price instead?

Virginia Justice Book One: Serial Games

FBI profiler Maggie Weston has a reputation for identifying the most gruesome of killers. But her reputation is put on the line when US Marshal Brandon Worth walks into her office with news the one case that haunted her the most, John Michael Burrows, has escaped federal custody. Brandon needs her help; she understands how Burrows thinks and the best tracker on the east coast isn't about to pass up her expertise. Maggie and Brandon have to work together to catch a serial murderer and the closer they get to Burrows, the more their hearts become involved. While insecurities and bitterness threaten a budding relationship between Maggie and Brandon, an elusive killer terrorizes a small Virginia county with a game he plans on winning.

A Christian interracial romantic suspense.

     Maggie's eyes slowly traveled the width of the elevator door until they found Brandon's reflection in the mirrored panels lining the inside of the car. Broad shoulders rippled down to muscular biceps that contracted with the force he used to grip the rail behind him.
     She needed to assert herself now.
     I'm going to go over some of the documentation the district attorney's office faxed us to see if I might be able to find the missing link enabling Burrows to escape custody."
     Brandon's eyes narrowed. Obviously business wasn't what he wanted to hear, and how easily he could read her discomfort troubled her. He had an uncanny knack for interpreting her body language. What did that mean? Whatever it meant, she didn't have the time to analyze it now. She straightened her shoulders. "Knowing who helped him escape can perhaps shed some light on his next move."
     Brandon's level stare remained.
     Ok, he's not buying it. Regardless, I refuse to fall...
     "Do you forgive me?"
     "What?" The question about forgiveness startled her. He had apologized but she wasn't interested in discussing it. All she wanted to do was wash the smoke out of her hair and crash. It was going on midnight... or past it; she had lost track of time.
     In one stride he was in front of her, one arm around her waist, the other guiding her chin up. His lips were warm and smooth as they glided over hers. He pulled back and disappointment filled Maggie at the loss of his heat. She stared into the dark thunderstorm whirling in his eyes.
     "Do you forgive me?" His hoarse voice rumbled through to her inner core.
     The elevator bell chimed. Startled, Maggie nearly jumped at the ring. She turned to the console. Her numbered floor illuminated.
     "Saved by the bell." He released her.
     Maggie couldn't resist looking at him. His eyes were veiled but the confident smirk returned. As the elevator doors opened, Maggie wondered who would be the more difficult challenge to overcome: Burrows or Brandon?

One Enemy

There is but one enemy
You are not it

It is the one with stealth
Working behind the scenes

He seeks to cause division
Using anger, jealously and pride

He plants seeds of doubt
Watered by human failure

He preys on our humanity and weakness
Manipulating our emotions

His arrows are well timed
In conjunction with anger, hunger and fatigue

He magnifies a hurt
Makes us believe it was done with intent

He cajoles us
Forgiveness and grace are undeserved

He pumps up our pride
Feeds our self inflated ego

He bring us low
With remembrances of a multitude of sins

Unless we take every thought captive
We are so easily led astray

May we always remember
Never forget

There is but one enemy
You are not it

the yearbook project -- almost at its end

right now, i'm currently editing the last missing write-up sent to me. once i finish and send this, i'm about 95% done with my obligation to the yearbook.

it has definitely been fun. i mean, sure it wasn't fun when almost every morning i had to be out chasing class representatives, when i had to meet deadlines, when i had people bickering behind my back. i admit, i lack the skills to be a leader. i've never been good at that, but at least now i've proved to myself that i can survive in being one.

after i turn in this one last write-up, i can actually start rejoicing because i can. i feel like i've done and achieved something great. i've done a feat that someone as ordinary as me wouldn't even dream of doing.

months ago, i was up to this for supporting my best friends, but down the road, i found myself digging deep in the dirt with them. i don't even know why i did, but i did it :)

i'm so proud.

How Income Divides Democrats, Republicans, And Independents

Oct 2, 2012
Originally published on October 3, 2012 9:25 am

For more, see our post: How The Poor, The Middle Class And The Rich Spend Their Money

"In politics today, do you consider yourself a Republican, Democrat, or independent?"

The Pew Center for the People and the Press has been asking Americans this question for decades. At our request, they sliced the responses according to household income from 1992 to 2012.

In the graphic below, "Low income" refers to households in the bottom 20 percent of the income spectrum, which was roughly $20,000 a year and below as of 2011. "Middle income" refers to households in the middle 20 percent, whose income is between roughly $39,000 and $62,000 a year. "High income" refers to households in the top 20 percent, which is over $102,000 per year.

A few trends jump out. Perhaps most striking is the rise of independents, particularly in the last few years. At all income levels, independents (and people who say they don't know) outnumber people who identify themselves as either Democrats or Republicans. Also notable is the decline of Republicans among top earners.

Note that this survey is not about likely voters, nor is it based on actual political registration. But studies that have parsed the data in that way have found similar conclusions. In a story last year looking at voter registration data, USA Today pointed to the striking rise in independents, and noted that registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans.

Note: All data from these polls are annual averages except for those in 2012. The data for 2012 come from polls conducted between January and September this year.

Lorrie Moore's New 'Bark' Is Half Of A Good Book

Feb 26, 2014

There are eight stories in Lorrie Moore's new collection, but only two of them really stand out. Moore's one of the country's most admired writers – and maybe I was so dazzled by the brilliance and power of the two longest stories in these pages that I couldn't read the other pieces — which I found either a little off-kilter or too subtly played — without feeling a certain amount of loss. But my possibly cock-eyed view of Bark is that it's a book, or at least half a book, that anyone who loves contemporary fiction should have a go at. It shows off a true advance of Moore's powers and offers some first-rate reading pleasure.

Bark is the outermost layer of trees and plants and roots, and it's also the expressive sound of a dog. The former definition certainly makes sense in relation to Ira, the divorcing mid-western main character of the near-forty page lead story, "Debarking." Within a page or two Moore has begun to strip clean this ordinary Jewish guy who hasn't committed any sins in his marriage — except marrying someone who did — which means he's like most divorcing men.

Ira has been divorced for six months, the opening line informs us, and still can't get his wedding ring off. He jokes with friends that he might have to remove the finger or maybe the whole hand. He has "already ceremoniously set fire to his dove-gray wedding tux — hanging it on a tall stick in his backyard, scarecrow style, and igniting it with a Bic lighter."

Ira doesn't have to do more than accept an invitation from some Catholic friends to a dinner kicking off Lent to spark his real ignition — as he wryly asserts, he'll be the token Jew at the meal. There'll be a divorcee there, his friends mention, but they're not trying to fix him up. So he accepts the invite for the Lent meal. Easter? "I'll reenact the whole thing for you," says Ira, nearly hysterical. "Yessirree. I'll come over and show you all how it's done."

He means crucifixion, and so does Lorrie Moore. Before the holiday's over Ira's stumbled into an affair with Zora, a pediatrician and the promised divorcee. In his eyes she's "very beautiful: short black hair; eyes a clear, reddish hazel, like orange pekoe tea, a strong acquiline nose, probably a snorer; thick lashes that spiked out wrought and black as the tines of a fireplace fork." Ouch! But Ira doesn't mind the tines of pain that Zora has in store for him. He seems to consider it as his natural state. By the time the story's over he's stripped of an outer layer of dignity and intelligence, alone in a crowd at a local bar, barking, barking, barking until someone among the boozers wants to slap him down.

I hope you don't think I've spoiled this story for you. It's not fiction built to deliver suspense; rather, it's modern pathetic comedy of the roughest sort. And in its beginning — Ira's little workout on self-dismemberment — lies its end. Yes, he's shown us how it's done, in painfully detailed and excruciatingly awful fashion.

In the second long story, "Wings," we get a bravura performance, this time with a woman at the center — this is equal opportunity unbarking. KC, as she's known, is the female singer in a not very successful musical duo, the other performer being a loutish – and not very terrific — musician and moocher named Dench, with whom she's been cohabiting for a while. Too long! This lout has dragged her so low financially that she even wishes he'd turn to selling drugs as a way to get them out of their troubles. He wishes she would soft-soap an old man in their neighborhood and get written into his will. But the discomfort of their private life, and the wreckage and embarrassments of their public life are things that money can't fix — even if they had some.

KC is turning slowly to face the recognitions of middle-age, something not easy for her to gaze upon. And it takes a while for her to come to terms with the changes in her voice and the possibility of a life outside the narrow world of her failing artistic vocation. How she meets the challenges of life with Dench, and immediately without him, makes for one of the most memorable portraits of a modern woman I have ever read. It throws my mind back to the best work of Katherine Ann Porter. It throws a punch — and makes the rest of the shorter stories in this collection pale by comparison — as hard as the one KC at long-last throws at Dench. Pick up this book just for these two stories and you'll be barking up the right tree.

October - National Pizza Month!

October is National Pizza Month!!! 94% of Americans eat pizza at least once per month.  This equals to about 45 slices of pizza per person, each year which is about 100 acres of pizza per day or 350 slices per second!  The two most common styles of pizza in Italian cuisine are Roman & Napoli style.

Roman Pizza –Rome is in the central region of Italy and the pizzas made there are usually made thin with a crispy crust. These pizzas are generally cooked at a lower temperature, around 500-600 degrees Fahrenheit, for a longer period of time, thus the crispier crust.

Napoli Pizza –Napoli is located in the southern region of Italy and the pizzas there are made with a fluffier crust. The center of the pizza is still thin, but not as much as a roman pizza. These pizzas are usually made with specialty pizza ovens which cook at much higher temperatures of over 800 degrees Fahrenheit.

We serve Napoli style pizzas at all our locations. Our pizza crust is about ¾-1” around the edge of the pizza. We cut our dinner pizzas to 8 pieces, and lunch special pizzas to 6 pieces.Caputo flour is an Italian flour specifically used to make pizza dough. We use only Caputo flour for all our pizzas.

Interesting fact: In Italy, pizzas are served whole and eaten with a knife and fork. Eating pizza by the slice is an American thing.

To celebrate National Pizza Month, we serve special pizzas:

·         Arancino Beachwalk – Mortadella e Pistachio Pizza

·         Arancino di Mare – Fruitti di Mare Pizza

·         Arancino at The Kahala – Affumicata Pizza --- all $25

Please enjoy!

Pentagon asked Russia to avoid Syrian areas with U.S. Commandos

The Pentagon has asked Russia to stay away from parts of northern Syria where U.S. special operations troops are training local fighters to combat ISIS, military officials said Thursday.

The acknowledgement is significant because the Pentagon has repeatedly stressed it is not cooperating with Moscow as the two powers lead separate air campaigns in war-ravaged Syria.

Lieutenant General Charles Brown, who commands the U.S. air forces in the Middle East, said U.S. officials had asked Moscow to avoid “broad areas” in northern Syria “to maintain a level of safety for our forces that are on the ground.”

He added that Moscow had itself asked the U.S.-led coalition to avoid some of the airfields the Russian military is using.

“They don’t want us flying close to (these,)” Brown said. “Typically, we don’t fly there anyway. So, that hasn’t been an issue.”

Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said Russia had honored the request, and stressed the Pentagon only provided broad geographic descriptions of where the U.S. troops are, not their precise location.

There was “one instance in which we have asked, for the safety of our special operators, (the Russians) to not engage in that particular geographical area,” Cook said. “We think it’s a reasonable request.”

The Pentagon last year said it was sending about 50 special operations forces to work with anti-ISIS fighters in Syria, though officials have said next to nothing about their whereabouts and progress since.

The United States has since August 2014 led an international coalition against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

Russia entered the Syria conflict in September, when it began bombing rebels opposed to President Bashar al-Assad. Russia says it is attacking ISIS group and other “terrorists.”

Though coalition and Russian planes generally operate in different parts of the country, military officials fret about the possibility of an unintended clash between the two sides.

The Pentagon has held a series of “deconfliction” talks with Russian counterparts to outline procedures in case of a mishap.

Python Pt 1

Python pt. 1

In the past couple months, I have been trying to get more experienced with the python programming language. I do not have a very strong programming background. I took a C/C++ course in undergraduate, but at the graduate level, I’ve had to teach myself IDL. I never had a statistics course, or a computational methods course. Therefore, I feel quite behind when it comes to scientific computing and data science. In order to rectify this, and to make myself a stronger candidate for positions outside academia, I am trying to develop my skill set.

Python is a completely free programing language that anyone with time and desire can learn. Python is available for nearly all operating systems (Linux/Unix, OS X, Windows). Fortunately, there are plenty of freely available tools to help one learn python. I have decided to work through The Python Tutorial and I am using version 2.7.5. This is not the most recent release of python, but I don’t really want to dig around in my computer to see if I have the most recent release somewhere or not.

After spending some time with the python tutorial, I had also learned about many other free resources for python online. I decided to take a look at the Udacity course Intro to Computer Science, which gives the basics of programming using the python language. I was already familiar with a lot of the basic logical statements like loops and conditions from my previous experience in programming (C/C++ class and working knowledge of IDL), but the course was a good intro to the syntax of python, and showed off some of its features.

The main objective in the course is to build a web search engine, which I found very interesting. There are obviously many good search engines that already exist, which makes the task of building one very accessible to a general audience, if a bit less practical. Probably no one is going to substitute their homemade search engine in place of google, but it is nice to know that one could, given sufficient resources, and without an incredible amount of sophistication.

Actually building the search engine was broken down into parts - first building a web crawler that searches web pages for links to other web pages. Then one has to build up an index of pages and match that index with keywords on the page. Finally, to make the engine practical, one needs to build a ranking system that returns pages in an order that, hopefully, matches the user’s intentions. The ranking system implemented in the Intro to Computer Science course is called PageRank, and is the ranking system that Larry Page used in the early days of google. It basically ranks pages based on the number of other useful pages that link to that page, as a kind of “popularity” measure of web pages.

It took me about two months to actually complete the free-access version of the Intro to Computer Science course on Udacity. I found the exercise quite useful, and I’d like to move to primarily using python for my research purposes, when I can. That is a big move, and opens another can of worms that I won’t get into - mainly because I don’t have experience doing it yet.

I enjoyed the course so much that I started working on another Udacity course: Intro to Data Science, which gives an overview of some other very interesting software packages including Pandas for Python, SQL, and API. I’ve only worked through the first two lessons so far, but I am really enjoying it. I will write another post on the topic after completing more of the course.

Stern Unveils AVENGERS Pinball

Stern Unveils AVENGERS Pinball

Stern Pinball unveiled pictures today of their new Avengers pinball machine, which is based upon the hit film from earlier this year. I haven’t followed all of the rumors about what was being said about it, aside from the persistent one that “this will be the one with an LCD” that never comes true. They are using a new type of DMD that uses LEDs however, making it easy to do different colors such as we see with the Hulk model but its still monochromatic.From these pictures we can see that the use of some 3D modeled toys not too dissimilar from X-MEN are present, although maybe not as large. I would love to see the sales numbers of this versus the new Wizard of Oz but I have my doubts we’ll know how the two will stack up against each other until post-mortems are written about years from now. It’s too bad they didn’t have this ready to show off at IAAPA a few weeks ago but it will be showing up at a pinball loving venue near you pretty soon.

Starting off with the Pro model, hurray for metal ramps!:

I’m sure the HULK LE model will be popular the LE playfield itself having extra ramp action at least and a retail price of $8100:

And the less-specific Avengers LE model. The playfield is the same between this and the HULK, excepting the color scheme

CU-Boulder team discovers first ancient manioc fields in Americas
A University of Colorado at Boulder team excavating an ancient Maya village in El Salvador buried by a volcanic eruption 1,400 years ago has discovered an ancient field of manioc, the first evidence for cultivation of the calorie-rich tuber in the New World.

The manioc field was discovered under roughly 10 feet of ash, said CU-Boulder anthropology Professor Payson Sheets, who has been directing the excavation of the ancient village of Ceren since its discovery in 1978. Considered the best-preserved ancient village in Latin America, Ceren's buildings, artifacts and landscape were frozen in time by the sudden eruption of the nearby Loma Caldera volcano about 600 A.D., providing a unique window on the everyday lives of prehistoric Mayan farmers.

The discovery marks the first time manioc cultivation has been discovered at an archaeological site anywhere in the Americas, said Sheets. The National Geographic Society funded the 2007 CU-Boulder research effort at Ceren, the most recent of five research grants made by NGS to the ongoing excavations by Sheets and his students.

Remote sensing meets Pompeii:
In June, the researchers used ground-penetrating radar, drill cores and test pits to pinpoint and uncover several large, parallel planting beds separated by walkways, said Sheets. Ash hollows in the planting beds left by decomposed plant material were cast with dental plaster to preserve their shapes and subsequently were identified as manioc tubers, an important, high-carbohydrate food source for Latin Americans today, said Sheets.

Hockey’s black eye

Celebrating violence even as it condemns it, the NHL has long sent mixed signals to its players and fans about what crosses the line

A quick search on the NHL’s official website reveals video of brawls and big hits. The best of the best, the most bone-jarring, the bloodiest find their way into packages promoting “Hits of the Year’’ and “Tough Guys.’’

Many of the clips earn playing time on NHL arena jumbotrons as in-game entertainment. The brawls and big hits whip crowds into a screaming, glass-banging frenzy. That type of violence has long been a part of the NHL.

But the hit that knocked out Bruins right wing Nathan Horton in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final produced a collective gasp Monday night at TD Garden. Following a blindside headshot from Canucks defenseman Aaron Rome, Horton lay motionless with his right arm in the air. He left the ice on a stretcher and spent the night at Massachusetts General Hospital. He was released yesterday with a severe concussion and is recuperating at home.

The hit on Horton and its punishment raised questions about violence in the sport, about whether the NHL can leave some of the fights and bone-jarring hits behind. Although less violent than in the past, than in the days of the Big Bad Bruins, the NHL entertains and attracts fans as much with its fast, skilled players as with physical play that sometimes crosses the line.

Rome’s hit crossed that line, according to the NHL, and the season is over for both players. The league suspended Rome for four games, covering the remainder of the series. Horton will miss the remainder of the series. Mike Murphy, senior vice president of NHL operations, based the punishment on the seriousness of Horton’s injury and because Rome delivered a late hit.

“Hockey is a violent game played by violent people,’’ said former Bruin Derek Sanderson. “If you don’t like that, watch tennis. People watch for the hits. The courage of the players is what attracts people to the game and what separates hockey. Hockey is not for everybody. Without the violence, the toughness, the physicality, it would lose its edge and its mystique.”

Sanderson, other former and current players, agents, and league officials strenuously condemn head-hunting or any type of play that would intentionally injure an opponent, especially with the increasing awareness of the effects of concussions. But the inconsistency of punishment meted out by the NHL — Canucks forward Alex Burrows bit Bruin Patrice Bergeron’s finger in Game 1 but he was not suspended — sends mixed messages about what crosses the line.

Canucks coach Alain Vigneault didn’t believe the hit deserved a four-game suspension, although former Bruin Brad Park said, “It should have been 15,’’ in part because it occurred in the Stanley Cup Final and a lengthier suspension would have sent a strong, clear message.

Mixed signals might result from the NHL trying to preserve the game’s intensity and mystique, all elements of its fan base and its star players.

“Ultimately, they’re in the entertainment business,’’ said agent Kent Hughes. “Hockey is more than a sport of violence, but there’s a component of it that’s very physical and can lead to dangerous outcomes. Things have to be done. The league cannot afford to lose players, period. They certainly cannot afford their superstars. Having players like [Pittsburgh Penguins star] Sidney Crosby potentially compromise their careers, that’s going to kill the league.’’

And the league may be surprised to find a majority of fans on the side of tougher legislation against violent play. There will always be bloodthirsty fans, but true fans appreciate good, clean hits.

“I like the violence when it’s clean,’’ said Justin Aucoin of Brookline, co-owner and writer of the Bruins fan blog “Days of Y’Orr.’’ “I like the hard hits. [Johnny] Boychuk can do a nice clean, old-school hip check. I like the fights. I like watching [Bruin] Shawn Thornton drop the gloves when it’s appropriate and when sticking up for a teammate. That’s part of the core and the identity of the game. But the blindside hits and the late hits need to get wiped out.’’

And Aucoin would find Thornton, who led the Bruins with 122 penalty minutes in the regular season, in agreement. After Game 3, Thornton talked about the hit on Horton becoming “the culture of the game’’ and said “it has to get out of the game.’’

To change the culture, the players must take an active role in finding a solution. Sanderson and Park noted how today’s young hockey players don’t learn to hit properly, how, ironically, wearing helmets at a young age has made them more reckless in how they play and hit.

“The NHL wants to leave injuries behind,’’ said agent Matt Keator. “The key is for the players’ association and the NHL to work together and make sure there’s safety in the workplace.

“There’s a fine line between clean physical play and dirtiness and cheap shots. That’s where there’s education going on for players to respect each other. There’s an educating that has to go on at all levels that we have to get rid of plays that put players in danger. The hits that have happened are throwing a lot of awareness out there.’’

A frighteningly violent hit in a Stanley Cup Final that appears, at times, close to spinning out of control might be just the awareness the NHL needs to take more meaningful action.

A fork of lightning rent the sky. Miranda looked up. The alsation crept closer to her, trembling and whining. Mir tangled one hand reassuringly into his fur.

Thunder clapped, and the dog barked loudly. Cate glanced up sharply. "Can't you shut him up?"

"It's the storm," Miranda sighed. "Scaring the poor guy." She ruffled the fur beneath her fingers lovingly.

"'Fraidy-cat," Cate muttered, sighing as she bent over the wadge of papers again.

Worldbuilding 101

Anyone interested in speculative world-building could do worse than reading Carroll Quigley’s The Evolution of Civilizations.

I just finished chapter 5, which is for such purposes a scaffold on which one can construct a fictional society – whether on the small scale (an organization, corporation, colony, etc.) or large (an extrapolation of current civilization into a future history, a galactic empire, an entire alien civilization, etc.).

As it happens, Quigley articulates in the earlier chapters (whether its his invention or he simply applies it, I don’t know) the PERSIA template that we applied to the development of the Ares Project future history. PERSIA is a mnemonic for six broad subject areas one should consider in examining a social entity or period: political, economic, religious, social, intellectual, and aesthetic. (Note that this is how I learned it in high school – Quigley adds military and subsumes aesthetic under intellectual, which makes more sense but wrecks the mnemonic.)

The earlier chapters are interesting, but consist of laying the groundwork for what starts in chapter 4 and really blossoms in chapter 5. The former chapter lays out his concept of instruments vs. institutions, and specifically the instrument of expansion central to all civilizations. The latter chapter is an exploration of seven stages through which each historical civilization has progressed, and how different civilizations have fared against each other (or against uncivilized societies/cultures) at differing stages.

So far, a much, much better read than Tainter’s oft-recommended (but probably seldom-finished) Collapse of Complex Societies. And it’s a quarter of the price.

What next?

Taking steps to leave a violent relationship can be frightening. The Police and family violence support organisations are there to help you to stay safe.

What do the Police do?

The Police take reports of domestic violence very seriously. If they come to your home to investigate reports of violence, they will ask questions to determine if you or your children are in immediate danger. Tell them if you feel unsafe, or if there are weapons in the home.

The Police will refer you to an agency (such as Women's Refuge) that can help you, and take your statement. If the Police believe an offence has been committed, they can charge the abuser.

Protection orders

A protection order helps to keep you and your children safe. It will contain conditions that the abuser must meet, such as non-contact with you and no violence. If the conditions are broken, the abuser can be arrested. It is a good idea to have a lawyer help with the application — you may be eligible for legal aid, if you do not have a family lawyer.

Police safety orders

If the police have concerns about a person's safety, but insufficient evidence to make an arrest, they can issue a Police safety order.

The safety order requires the abuser to leave the home, surrender any weapons, and hand over their firearms license. They must not contact the person at risk, or visit their home or workplace. Children living in the home are also covered by the order, which lasts up to 5 days.

If the safety order is breached, the police can take the abuser into custody.

The police website has more information on safety orders, and protection orders.

The Citizens Advice Bureau also has information on protection orders.

Automating Actions in Photoshop

Recently I had to edit several hundred images. The point was that I had to do the same thing to all the images. So I struggled a bit to find a way to automate the process. In this way Adobe Photoshop will do the same actions to all the images without my involvement. Cool right, Ok then before explaining the way to do this I'll explain what I am going to do.

To make things simple, just imagine that you need to put some text to some images and needs to save the images as Jpeg. First things first, so open one image from your image set after starting Adobe Photoshop (Please note that I am using Adobe Photoshop CS2).

1. We need to record our actions to make Photoshop repeat them on other images.

Open the Actions pane by clicking on Window -> Actions or pressing Alt + F9.

Now create a new Set by clicking on the folder like icon at the bottom of the actions pane. When new set window comes put a name that you want. I kept the default name which was Set 1.

Then create a new Action by clicking on the small icon located little right to the New Set icon.

In the New Action window you can specify a name (Action 1), a set which this action will belong, a key combination to initiate the action and a color for the action if you want.

Now you are ready to record the actions. After double checking whether the Begin Record button (Circuler button as the second button from the left in the Action pane.) is activated, use the Horizontal Type Tool (T) to insert the required text into the image. Format the text as you want.

Since now we are done with the required actions, stop the Recording by clicking on the Stop Playing/Recording button (The left most button [rectangular] on the Action pane.) Note that not only putting text, you can do many things available in Photoshop at this point and record to Automate later.

2. Now you have successfully created the repitative tasks. What you have to do now is to perform all these tasks on the images you have.

If all the images you want to change are not in the same folder put all of them to one folder. Having images inside sub folders are ok.

Then Click on File -> Scripts -> Image Processor.

In Image Processor select the second radio button at Step 1 and click on Select Folder... button and select the folder where your images are.

Select the Step 2 as you like. (What I choose is to save the images on a folder named New Folder under my original folder)

Select the Save as Jpeg check box and type appropriate quality in Step 3 (5 in my case).

In the Step 4 select the set (Set 1) and action (Action 1) you have created above.

If you want any Copyright information you can enter them also.
After selecting everything click on Run to start the batch process.

You will be able to see Photoshop automating. How helpful is this? Was a lot to me.
Happy playing with images.
Installing Visual Studio 2005 SP1

Did you try installing SP1 for Visual Studio without any errors? If not or if you are still did not start the installation some of the following details will help.

The list of things that Microsoft had fixed in Visual Studio 2005 SP1 is located at

Most of the time the setup will fail due to the insufficient disk space. So before trying to install the SP1 check whether you have at least 6.3 GBs of free disk space. If you have installed VS in other partition than Windows I recommend to check for free disk space in both partitions.
Another common error which can happen when installing this is,

Error 1718. File FileName was rejected by digital signature policy.

This error is due to the Software Restriction Policies (also known as SAFER) that exist in the operating systems that came after Windows XP. This was introduced to help users avoid running unsafer files. SAFER will be used by Windows Installer to check the file signatures to confirm that the files were not tampered. Note that this error can happen when installing any large Windows installer package or Windows installer patch.

This error occurs when there is no contiguous piece of virtual memory to accommodate the file. Then the Windows installer will fail to validate the file and result in this error.

There are few things you can do to fix this,

1. You can edit the registry to make the PolicyScope value to 1 before you install the package.

2. By changing the SAFER settings to allow administrators to install the package.

3. Installing the hotfix if you are running Windows 2003,

For any of this you can get more information from Microsoft by visiting

Apart from that Visual Studio SP1 release note can be found at

Also I suggest that you refer Heath Stewart's articles for more installation tips. Heath is Technical Lead working at Microsoft

Even though I had no luck recovering the applications without formatting the system which crashed with the failed installation of Visual Studio SP1, I guess you will have much more luck after reading these articles.

Clearing Windows History

Have anyone tried removing items in Windows history as in Run window history items, most recent documents, web browser history, most recent applications like stuff?
As usual, a bizzare requirement of deleting the Run window history came to me.

After some wondering here and there I found that there is a registry position where the Run window history is recorded. You can find that entry at

in the registry editor. (To open Registry Editor go to Run window and type RegEdit.)
All the history entries dropped in the Run window will be in the list. If you wants to edit or delete an entry you can edit or remove them using the registry editor.
In some scenarios this list will be empty even though there are items in the Run history. In such a case there is an option you can set so that the next restart will erase all the history items. This method is really good if you want to start fresh removing al history items. This will remove Run history, recent programs, recent documents, internet browser history, etc by one shot.
Interested, ok so to do this first open the registry editor. Then go to the following location

Now you need to add a Binary Value named ClearRecentDocsOnExit (Edit -> New -> Binary Value), then make the binary value of that to 1 (Edit -> Modify Binary Data).
The next time you shutdown or restart Windows it will take little longer to shutdown because it is clearing the history items. After you start again you will be free of your history items.

If you always want to start fresh at each restart keep the setting as it is. If you just needed to clear the history at that point like me you have to either delete the value we made or have to make the binary vale 0 so it will not clear the history at each restart. If you needs to change this find the ClearRecentDocsOnExit value and modify the value to read 0 so windows will keep your activity history.
Back in Sri Lanka

Came back to home sweet home. Even though the country is having problems at the moment it feels nice to be here in my motherland.
On my way back I enjoyed Singapore little bit.
If you would like to know more please see my photo album named Singapore. I think Singapore airport is one of the best airports in the world providing great facilities to travellers. From the airports which I have been I can say Singapore is the best. Their idea of having themed parks inside the airport is a brilliant idea. Also I heard that they are building there new terminal (Terminal 3) with much more features. So I guess anyone going to Singapore won't be disappointed.
