Rubber Band ball
This is my Rubber Band Ball at work. I have one at home, too. I was thinking about the Bloomsburg Fair today as I was busy at work. I took quick a break and snapped this photo, as I put down the brochure, my Mom sent me.Monday, September 28, 2009

Intergenerational Feminism: A Dialogue
October 7 2009 at 7 p.m.The Roschel Performing Arts Center
Lecture by author Ariel Levy and award-winning novelist and poet Robin Morgan.
Ariel Levy is a contributing writer for The New Yorker and author of Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture.
After graduating from Wesleyan University, Levy worked for Planned Parenthood, but says she was fired after a week because she was “an extremely poor typist.” Shortly after her dismissal she was hired by New York magazine (as a typist) and, in 2008, joined The New Yorker.
She has appeared on National Public Radio’s Fresh Air, ABC’s Oprah and Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report.
Veteran feminist Robin Morgan is an award-winning poet, novelist and journalist who has published 20 books, including the anthologies Sisterhood Is Powerful and Sisterhood Is Global.
Morgan is founder of The Sisterhood Is Global Institute and co-founder of The Women’s Media Center. In 1990, as editor-in-chief of Ms., she relaunched the magazine as an international, award-winning, ad-free bimonthly, resigning in late 1993 to become consulting global editor. Among her many honors is a National Endowment for the Arts Prize in poetry.
This event is sponsored by the Alice Drum Women’s Center, CLAS, Philadelphia Alumni Writers House and the Coeducation Planning Committee.
This event is part of the College’s celebration of 40 years of coeducation.

I am a big fan of both of these women. I discovered Robin Morgan in 8th or 9th grade and still have a dogeared copy of Sisterhood is Powerful somewhere. I read The New Yorker everyweek so I am excited to go to this talk. I may even geek out and ask Ariel to sign my THE NEW YORKER baseball cap. :)
Lead and H2o Lancaster City PA
I liked this additional informational sheet that came with my freakin' water and sewer bill. I pay for the water coming into the house and going out of the house...
"Lead is not present in City drinking water when it leaves our water treatment plants and underground pipes. Water can leach lead from brass or chromed-plated brass faucets and fixtures in the home. If you have questions about City drinking water, contact Al Nagy at 717.291.4833 or anagy@cityoflancasterpa.com.
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The City of Lancaster is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, test methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

I would like to see a PSA saying FLUSH Your Tap-30-2.
