Susan [MC????] owns Nancy Langlois School of Dance

New owners at Langlois School of Dance
By DAN HEATH, Press-Republican Press-Republican
*** begin quote ***
PLATTSBURGH — There is new ownership at the Nancy Langlois School
of Dance at 34 Riley Ave.
Susan Mossey and her husband, Derek, closed on the building in
early June. Mossey also runs the Nancy Langlois School of Dance at
Ameri-Can North Sports Center at 90 Sharron Ave. in Plattsburgh.
The Riley Avenue location will now be the home office, she said.
Renovations to the Riley Avenue location include a 50-foot
mirrored wall, a resurfaced 2,400-square-foot hardwood dance floor
and a revamped waiting room.
Mossey said she has hundreds of students at the Sharron Avenue
location and has always had to turn some prospective students away
in the past. With a second studio, that should no longer be a
problem.
“This gives me the opportunity to not have to turn anyone away,”
she said.
Plattsburgh Dance offers classes in hip-hop, tap, jazz and ballet
dancing.
“We are looking into offering Zumba and hip-hop birthday parties,”
Mossey said.
Mossey is originally from Plattsburgh. She said she has been
dancing since she was 2 years old.
She graduated from Manhattan College and then studied at the
Broadway Dance Center in New York City and the Bronx Dance
Theater. Mossey said she moved back to this area in 1994 and began
offering the region’s first hip-hop classes.
*** and ***
Registration for the next season of classes starts Aug. 1. Forms
will be available at plattsburghdance.com

[JR: Welcome. I'm sure you won't mind if I use this as a

May I suggest that you have your own domain?
The common wisdom, or is that common whizdumb, is to own your own
name as a domain name. I own "reinke.cc". (I like saying "sea sea
me at reinke.cc"! me@reinke.cc will actually work!) I gives one
quite a bit of control.
And, it's very cheap.
I know three solutions at 15$/year using wordpressdotcom with
gmail, 25$/year email only with 1and1, and 60$/year for
domain+email+webspace also at 1and1. My point is not that you
should use 1and1. http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=9113251 I could care
less which one you use. It's that getting on to your own domain
with email is cheap and easy. And, it's not hotmail, yahoo, or
gmail. It IS your own "personal brand".
You should choose something short, memorable, business-like, and
eternal.
Then, even if you use an ISP, GMail, or anyone else for mail
services, you always give out your domain address. (Or in my case,
one of your domain addresses. Allows you to "sort" your inbound
email by priority.
The eternal part is that you NEVER have to change emails. People,
that you've long forgotten, still will have an email that works.
People, who got you email from someone else (i,e,. recruiters and
network referrals) can still "find" you.
FWIW.

He was a caring and compassionate man whose smile could brighten
anyone's day. He loved spending time with his family and cheering

subject: Re: JASPER JOTTINGS Week 28 - 2012 July 08
Re Manhattan Men
I doubt the end of "Manhattan Men" had anything to do with the
war. More likely it was the increasing presence of women on campus
and the transition to co-education. Manhattan Men would have
excluded rather than welcomed women and "Manhattan Men and Women"
just doesn't work.
A lesser contributing factor may have been the refocusing of the
Manhattan College Glee Club from an organization that performed
popular, show tunes and light classical music--often in concert
with the Manhattan College Orchestra--to one with a more
restricted and academic focus on classical music. The old Glee
Club could have occasionally performed Manhattan Men and other
fight songs that now sit on the shelf as a tribute to Manhattan's
heritage without being deemed sexist. Perhaps someday some of
those songs will be revived in a reunion or historical context.
To their credit, the leaders of Manhattan in the 60s and 70s were
very sensitive to making women feel welcome and a full and natural
part of the Manhattan family. I still remember Brother Stephen
Sullivan's regular use of the word "alumni/ae" in his speeches to
make that point, even though the word of alumni covers both.

Is He Not the Carpenter’s Son?
by GodGoogler
*** begin quote ***
In many working class families, there’s often a strange dynamic at
play. Parent’s want their children to succeed, but they also don’t
want them to succeed so much that it brings a certain haughtiness to
their demeanor. As an example, my Chemistry teacher in high school,
Tom Ferraiola, once told me a story about how his family would make
their own wine, a typical Italian tradition. Tom, a working class
kid, did well in school and ended up studying chemistry at Manhattan
College and later at Niagara University, a stone’s throw from where
I am now in Buffalo. When he’d come home the parents would invite
him to come make wine with them.
During the fermentation process, the liquid would start to bubble, a
sign that the yeast was feeding on the sugar and producing alcohol,
a typical chemical reaction, known well by Tom.
“Now it’s boiling.” Tom’s father would say.
“Dad,” Tom would counter, “It’s not boiling, it’s fermenting.”

Thomas J. (Tom) Woods
AGE: 55 • Tinton Falls
Thomas J. (Tom) Woods, 55, who brought so much life, love, and
laughter to the lives of all who were lucky enough to meet him,
died at peace, at his home in Tinton Halls, NJ, on his 22nd
wedding anniversary, July 7, 2012. Tom, the second son of James
and Kathleen Woods, was born in New York City on December 10,
1956. Tom was the Chief of Procurement for New Jersey Transit, a
position that proved ideal for a man with an amazing aptitude for
understanding complex systems and his extraordinary negotiating
skills. After beginning his career as an expeditor for an
engineering firm specializing in nuclear construction, he joined
the Procurement Department of New Jersey Transit in 1987. In a
career spanning 25 years, he held several senior management
positions, a highlight of which was managing the first
public-private partnership Design-Build-Operate-Maintain (DBOM)
contract, which resulted in New Jersey's Hudson-Bergen Light Rail
System. Subsequently, he headed up Light Rail Operations,
Contracted Services, Real-Estate, and Advertising for NJT before
returning to Procurement as its Chief.
Tom was a graduate of St. Benedict's Elementary School in Holmdel,
NJ; Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft, NJ; Manhattan College
in New York; and the Rutgers University Executive MBA program,
where he graduated at the top of his class. Tom was both the
smartest and the funniest man in every room lucky enough for him
to enter. His interests were as broad as his intellect and his
sense of humor. A true Renaissance Man of the Jersey Shore, Tom
was a guitarist, a singer, a writer, a blogger, a sailor, a
swimmer, and a man who, along with his beloved wife and companion,
Pippa, traveled the world in search of knowledge, adventure,
friendship, and fun.
Tom was predeceased by his wonderful dad, James P. Woods. Tom is
survived by his beautiful wife of 22 years, Pippa deCosson Woods;
his beloved mother, Kathleen T. Woods; his older brother, Jim
Woods, and Jim's wife, Kathryn Depman; his younger brother, Terry
Woods, and Terry's wife, Gina Woods; Jim and Kate's three
children, Jimmy, Nacy Kathleen, and Frank; and his beloved
cousins, the Wray's, the Young's, and the Schweigard's; and five
nephews, Yasha, Toby, and Sebastian Berg, Nicholas and Thomas de
Cosson, and Kristin Golden; and two God Sons, Jack Sherlock, and
Ben Waldron, and his God Daughter, Nacy K. Woods; and a truly
great and wonderful circle of friends whom he loved and who will
love and miss him dearly. All will celebrate him forever.
A visitation celebrating Tom's life will be held from 2 to 4 p.m.
and 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 11, 2012 at the John E. Day
Funeral Home, 85 Riverside Drive, Red Bank. A Mass of Christian
Burial will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, July 12, 2012 at
St. Anselm's R.C. Church, 1028 Wayside Road, Tinton Falls. The
interment will follow at St. Gabriel Cemetery in Marlboro.
Tom's life was one lived with joy, love, and laughter. His final
wish is that you live yours in that spirit. And celebrate his own
with the same.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Tom's name can be sent to: The
Center in Asbury Park, 806 Third Ave., Asbury Park, NJ, 07712 or
Family Promise of Monmouth County www.ihn-of-MC.org. You are

For the New Jersey Herald
*** begin quote ***
FREDON — A year ago this June, 23-year-old Tierney Veliz was in a
car accident that left her with a spine broken in 16 places, two
crushed lungs, fractured hips and ribs, a fractured collarbone, a
brain hemorrhage and the inability to do anything other than blink
her eyes.
Her chances of recovery were small, but today miracles are occurring
on an almost daily basis for this young woman. She can now move both
arms, has occasional flickers of movement in her fingers, and
experiences other small signs of hope for recovery.
Prior to her accident, she was accepted into the Seton Hall Ph.D.
program for psychology, and still plans to carry out that acceptance
when she is strong enough to participate.
"Since my accident I'm realizing there are different types of
psychology that I'm interested in," Veliz said. "I'm eager to start
taking classes, because I know that's what I want to do."
She recently bought speech recognition software (dictation software
you speak into through a computer) and is eager to use it. "There's
a lot of writing during graduate studies, so now I'll be able to do
it. It was just a matter of finding a way."

Dear Jasper John
My first reaction to the article about disposing of garbage in
Ireland was to reflect that here in Utica we have essentially been
charged by volume for decades under our government run system. It
turns out that the EPA is fully aware ot the tradeoffs involved as
has done studies to find the best way to charge for each
community.
Please do some research before blaming the "gooferment", which in
this case is way ahead of you
Sincerely yours

[JR: With all due respect to your adulation of all things
gooferment, I bet if you honestly dig into their efforts I am 100%
certain that you'll find that it's: immoral (because it uses force
to oppress humans into doing something they don't want to do),
ineffective (because what ever it does, it does in a
one-sze-fits-all solution), and inefficient (because the cost of
all the "studies", politician's brothers-in-law on the payroll,
and the overhead of doing anything). I can't say for sure, but I
have NEVER heard of a Gooferment program that didn't fail on one
of those three "tests". A lot of little L libertarians have been
looking but yet to find one. If you could point one out, I'd be a

ENDNOTE: July 4 --
Hot Air Day?
http://lewrockwell.com/roberts/roberts353.html
Can Americans Escape the Deception?
by Paul Craig Roberts
PaulCraigRoberts.org
*** begin quote ***
Hot Air Day is upon us. On July 4 hot air will spew forth all over
the country as dignitaries deliver homilies to our “freedom and
democracy” and praise “our brave troops” who are protecting our
freedom by “killing them over there before they come over here.”
Not a single one of these speeches will contain one word of truth.
No speaker will lament the death of the US Constitution or urge his
audience to action to restore the only document that protects their
liberty. No speaker will acknowledge that in the 21st century the
Bush/Obama Regime, with the complicity of the Department of Justice,
federal courts, Congress, presstitute media, law schools, bar
associations, and an insouciant public have murdered the
Constitution in the name of the “war on terror.”
As in medieval times, American citizens can be thrown into dungeons
and never accounted for. No evidence or charges need be presented to
a court. No trial is required, and no conviction.
As in tyrannies, US citizens can be executed at the sole discretion
of the despot in the Oval Office, who sits there drawing up lists of
people to be murdered.
Protestors exercising their constitutionally guaranteed rights to
freedom of speech and freedom of association are attacked by armed
police, beaten, tasered, tear-gassed, pepper sprayed, and arrested.
Whistleblowers who report the government’s crimes are prosecuted
despite the statute that protects them.
US soldier Bradley Manning, who allegedly gave Wikileaks the
documents revealing US war crimes, including the video of US
soldiers in a helicopter gunship enjoying themselves murdering
civilians walking along the street as if the soldiers were playing a
video game, has been arrested and held in conditions of torture
while the government tries to invent a case against him.
*** and ***
Washington’s “wars of liberation” are wars of world hegemony and
wars of massive profits for the military/security complex. The
combination of power and money that are the motives for Washington’s
concocted wars are hidden motives, wrapped in the flag, patriotic
sentiments, and fear of dark-skinned demonized Muslims.
Can Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth or any truth break
through and liberate americans from the artificial reality created
by government liars and a corrupt presstitute media, or are
americans doomed to expire in the Matrix that has been created for
them?
Perhaps the hope is that the economy will collapse under the
would-be hegemons, and people who will not fight for principles and
their liberty will fight for their economic survival.
*** end quote ***
You have to admit that he makes a persuasive case that the
Gooferment is uncontroled by "We, The Sheeple", the scrap of paper
called the U.S. Constitution, or even the limit of the taxpayers'
pocketbook.
So what are YOU going to do about it.
