But if a crew is required a neat aft cabin with full facilities for two can be specified. Alternatively this space can be used as a private cabin to boost guest sleeping accommodation to eight or as workshop cum laundry and storeroom, adding to the extended cruising potential of this capable flybridge model.

Nottingham city centre mixed-use scheme takes a step closer
An application to transform a troubled Nottingham city centre site into a mixed-use development has been recommended for planning permission by Nottingham City Council's chief planner.
The Council's Planning Committee will sit next Wednesday to rule on the application, which outlines a plan by developer Cosybox, which wants to demolish the dilapidated buildings 2-6 Alfreton Road in the Canning Circus area of Nottingham and build a scheme which would include 35 apartments as well as office an retail space on the ground floor.
The recently fire-struck site at Canning Circus could be redeveloped into a contemporary take on Victorian-style townhouses if plans are given the go-ahead by Nottingham City Council.
A planning statement by DL Design Studio of Nottingham reads: "As a mixed-use development the site will add vibrancy to the street by introducing a new flow of pedestrians, day and night, creating an improved street scene, especially during the evenings when light and movement within the building will create the sense of life, adding a new dynamic to the streets. Life within the buildings during all hours will also improve the security on the streets by adding 'eyes on the street'."

Take a journey with this teaser poster for Sam Raimi's Oz the great and powerful
The first teaser poster for director Sam Raimi's OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL has arrived, which features a number of images reminiscent of the world created by author Frank L. Baum. The prequel to the classic WIZARD OF OZ focuses on the Wizard himself, Oz, as played by James Franco, documenting his journey to the magical land and subsequent rise to ruling it.
Take a look:
The film also stars Michelle Williams as Glinda, Mila Kunis as Theodora, Rachel Weisz as Evanora, and Zach Braff as, uh, Frank. Given that we haven't seen, well, anything from the film so far, it's hard to judge based on a poster alone. Talentwise, the film has the goods, so that's a definite bonus. Raimi will be on hand at Comic Con next week to discuss the film, so expect a teaser trailer at the minimum.
OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL clicks its heels into theaters on March 8, 2013.
Michelle Williams is one sexy witch...
|Extra Tidbit:
|Would you be for or against a live-action remake of the original? I'm honestly all for it, even as much as I love the original. It would be really cool to see what could be done with today's technology and talent.

After suffering a sore left knee, Carmelo Anthony will be missing the New York Knicks' final game of the season against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. The season finale could be his last game as a Knick as he's expected to leave the team this summer.
Carmelo Anthony continues to be part of various trade rumors in the past months. With the Knicks suffering another disappointing season, most people believe Anthony will be available on the trade market again in the offseason. The 10-time NBA All-Star revealed he's looking forward to his exit meeting with Knicks president Phil Jackson.
Anthony said that the "chips will be on the table" in that meeting. Though he still has a no-trade clause, Anthony revealed that he already sees the "writing on the wall". Aside from Anthony, coach Jeff Hornacek and general manager Steve Mills will also attend the exit meeting.
Jeff Hornacek says aging Carmelo Anthony still needs to improve defensively
Hornacek admitted that he doesn't have an idea what to expect with the exit meeting between Anthony and Jackson. However, he believes that Anthony's future with the Knicks will be part of the discussion. Hornacek gave his assessment on Anthony's season. He praised the superstar's offense but said that Anthony needs to improve his defense.
"I think he played more games than I probably anticipated, knowing that he was getting older, with his knee," Hornacek said of the 32-year-old Anthony, who has played in 73 games this season. "… Obviously, he can score the ball. He can put it in the hole. He's a guy along with Derrick [Rose] that late in games, veteran guys, that you can go to. They came through sometimes."
Hornacek still open for the return of Carmelo Anthony next season
With the possible departure of Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis is expected to be the Knicks' next franchise player. Porzingis continues to show improvements since his rookie season and there is no doubt that he's the player the Knicks should build around. However, Hornacek is still open for Anthony's return next season but wants him to act more as a veteran leader than a franchise player.
"It could be beneficial," Hornacek said. "If a veteran guy with young players, the leadership, the knowledge of the game, they're going to help in that respect — it could be a positive. It's a negative if your young guys rely on the veteran to do everything and they don't move forward. That's the bad part of it."
Anthony will surely oppose with Hornacek's idea since he knows he still has something left in his tank. In 73 games his season, he averaged 22.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.9 assists on 43.3 percent shooting from the field and 36 percent from beyond the arc.

Deevee finds out about this unfortunate news when he is arrested by the police whilst leaving the Fort Greene projects in Brooklyn, NYC where Harris resides and operates. Upon release, Deevee finds out this news, from his father played by Wu Tang Clan legend himself Method Man. This information jeopardises his plans with rap protégé Ahm, adding more stress to his plate, his father threatens to send him to South Carolina to be far away from the drama.
As for Nikki, she manages to land her dream job working at a music record label, working as assistant to Barry Fouray played by the legend Wood Harris. She soon discovers that the job is not all plain sailing! Dealing with everyone's unpleasant moods and attitudes from her colleagues and difficult artist. Her patience and abilities are tested straightaway when Barry stages an event at the club which she pretty much has to organize and get the main man Ahm to attend, which turns out to be a huge chore!

What to Consider When Planning Your New Garage Build
If you've decided to build a new garage but are not sure what to think about when it comes to the design, then read on. It's all in the planning, so if you think about all your options beforehand, it could save you both time and money by the time you're done.
Decide on the Design
How big you want your garage should be one of the first decisions you make. You might have a small car for the time being, but what happens if you upgrade to a bigger one? Similarly, your kids might want to have a car one day, so think how many cars you want to fit in the garage.
Multi-Purpose Space
It's all very well having the space to park your cars, but what if you also want it for storage too? It's a good idea to set aside some space for pottering, woodworking, welding, restoring or painting, so you'll need to allocate space for garage racking systems and work area.
Power Outlets
You'll always need some kind of electricity outlets for your garage, so ensure it has a dedicated circuit for different ordinances. An outlet box should technically be set six feet apart, and consider using a four-plug outlet box so you can minimise power strips. If you're using heavy-duty power tools, a 220-volt circuit should be installed, but make sure you're aware of all the electrical requirements you need before you start.
Use All Space
You can have a number of storage options for your garage, including the space above. Think about your design in terms of maximising all of the area close to the ceiling, which will allow you to put things you might not use on a day-to-day basis. You'll find that garage shelving equipment, racks and storage bins are all a necessity for keeping things organised and out of your way.
If you're going to be spending time inside your garage, you'll need to plan exactly where you want your lights. Fluorescent light fixtures are the most common choice, as they're strong enough to light up all the space, but if you have a workbench or work area, make sure you install your lighting close by.
Whatever you're going to use your garage for, with some careful planning you'll be able to create an organised multi-purpose space.

The Nittany Lions, who broke Notre Dame's 15-game February win streak, improved to 2-1 (0-0 CAA) with the victory against their highest ranked opponent in program history.
With the game knotted at 3-3 in the extra frame, Mackrides took the ball from behind the cage, beat the man coverage and slipped the shot past Notre Dame goalkeeper John Kemp in the waning seconds. The victory marked Penn State's first against the Fighting Irish since a 10-9 overtime win in 2002.
Michael Richards and Drew Roper also scored for the Nittany Lions, while goalkeeper Austin Kaut was sensational in net and made 18 saves.
Penn State outshot Notre Dame by a 33-32 margin and collected 27 ground balls to the Fighting Irish's 20. Both team committed 18 turnovers as Notre Dame fell to 1-1.
Strong defensive play by both teams dominated the game as neither team generated consistent inside pressure. Notre Dame took a 2-0 lead with early goals in the first and second quarters before Penn State answered twice in the second stanza to make it a 2-2 game. After a scoreless third, the Nittany Lions ended a 25:30 scoreless drought to take a 3-2 lead before Notre Dame answered 4:19 later. In overtime, Mackrides netted his second goal of the game for the game-winner.
Notre Dame scored the only goal in the first frame with 11:57 left in the quarter. Following a Penn State turnover, Westy Hopkins found Quinn Cully outside the crease, where his shot beat Kaut between his legs.
Penn State nearly tied the game in the closing seconds of the frame, when Nick Dolik found Shane Sturgis just outside the crease, where he fired a lot shot that Kemp was able to corral.
The Fighting Irish extended their lead to 2-0 early in the second quarter, when Ryan Foley scored on a high shot with 11:22 left in the half.
The Nittany Lions fought back to make a 2-1 contest with 9:01 left in the second. Following an errant Notre Dame pass through the Penn State crease, Dolik found Richards, who raced down the field on a fast break. After making his way toward the middle of the box, Richards fired a shot low to the left side for the goal.
Penn State evened the game at 2-2 with 2:40 left in the half. Following a save by Kaut, the Nittany Lions brought the ball down the field, where Roper, who was to the left of Kemp, scored with a low shot to the bottom right corner. In the closing seconds of the stanza, it appeared Notre Dame took a 3-2 lead, but the goal was disallowed following a Fighting Irish crease violation.
Following a scoreless third quarter, Mackrides gave Penn State a 3-2 advantage with 7:50 remaining. Tom LaCrosse found Mackrides, who rocketed a high shot past Kemp to break the game's 25:30 scoreless drought.
Notre Dame answered 4:19 later to tie the game at 3-3. Foley secured the ball at the top of the crease, where his shot hit the net just inside the left post.
In overtime, Mackrides registered his second goal of the game with two seconds remaining to account for the 4-3 final score.

Comic Newcastle: Kinnear faces two match touchline ban
The tragicomedy that is Newcastle United has become even more bizarre with the news that interim boss Joe Kinnear faces a two match touchline ban for calling a linesman 'coco the clown' back in 2005 when he was managing Nottingham Forest.
With Newcastle owner Mike Ashley desperately trying to sell off the club as soon as possible and reports of a bid from a Nigerian consortium, there is the chance that Kinnear could be on his bike before he serves his time in the stands.
Kinnear is due to take charge of training tomorrow after watching Newcastle lose 2-1 at home to Blackburn. Club captain Michael Owen said that the players' confidence has hit rock bottom, but they will have to try and turn things around quickly before it's too late.

It's easy to think that beer styles are static and consistent. That they're set in stone and don't evolve.
But the truth of the matter is that styles are in a constant state of evolution — few beers more so than Oktoberfest, or Marzen, beers.
It's easy to think that beer styles are static and consistent. That they're set in stone and don't evolve.
But the truth of the matter is that styles are in a constant state of evolution — few beers more so than Oktoberfest, or Marzen, beers.
The first beers in the style were brewed about 50 years after Munich first celebrated the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig, later King Ludwig I, to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen in 1810. Those beers were brewed in spring, then kept in cold storage until Oktoberfest. They were toasty, full-bodied lagers, dark copper in color with relatively high alcohol contents.
But throughout the last few decades, the style has undergone a dramatic transformation, particularly in Munich where it has become lighter and drier. In doing so, the beer has lost most of the rich caramel notes traditionally associated with the style.
But that doesn't mean everyone has forgotten what the beer used to be. Take, for instance, Eric Wallace, president of Left Hand Brewing in Longmont, Colo. Wallace lived in Europe in the 1970s and 1980s and frequented Oktoberfest often. The beer he remembers drinking was a balanced, drinkable beer with toasty malt notes.
He aims for his brewery's Oktoberfest to mirror those beers. Though it takes the brewery eight weeks to produce its version, that effort is worth it because it captures what the beer used to be, he said.
"It's difficult to take my palate from when I was 17 or 18 years old and say that I actually remember exactly what the beer tasted like," he said. But that's why Wallace researched what the beers were made of in the past and produced a beer that tried to respect the Oktoberfest tradition.
"When my father, who was stationed in Germany in the 1950s, tasted our beer for the first time, he said that's what I remember drinking," he said. "And that tells me that we're doing our job."
Three to try
Great Lakes Oktoberfest: A light-bodied, clear amber-colored lager with bold caramel, malty notes, hints of grassy hops.
Three Floyds Munsterfest: A murky, medium-bodied, amber-colored lager with nutty, bready notes with hints of spice.
Left Hand Oktoberfest: A medium-bodied, clear, amber-colored lager with pronounced caramel, malty notes with just a hint of herbal hops.

Celebrating 10 years of "PR magic" – Conrad PR is proud to have been serving our clients since 2004….
Conrad Public Relations and Marketing specializes in exceeding our clients' expectations in providing outstanding public relations and marketing services. Although we have extensive experience with multiple clienteles, we are best known for our work with non-profit organizations and the green industry.
A personal touch with professional clout, Conrad PR endeavors to give each client the individual attention they deserve. We work hard to get everything "right" for you: the right press coverage, in the right media outlets to capture the attention of the right audience to achieve the right results. Our close relationship with the press encompasses print, media and social media to reach the target demographic for our clients on local, regional and national levels. And – unlike the big PR firms – we still make personal phone calls to editors to secure coverage. That tactic may be seen as a "dinosaur" tactic – but we believe people want personal attention, especially as our world becomes more polarized, and real-time/real person help without contingency is hard to find.
We are proud to staff employees who have actually worked in the media – so when we "pitch" to the media – we know the seat they are sitting in, and what "deadline" actually means.
At Conrad PR, we work closely with the client to develop a comprehensive plan that is monitored and adapted as needed to meet and exceed each objective with a personal involvement at each level. Our proven success is driven by our knack for developing key strategies and delivering fresh ideas. We look forward to partnering with businesses to help accomplish and surpass their goals.

Huh, tell me why is this symbol '1' called "one"? What does it represent? For example, in a standard map, a red dot represents a capital city of a state. So what does '1' represent? My worthy opponent, one could have drawn "one" as '2' as well, the symbol doesnt necessarily represent the number. Like we could have used the alphabet "c" for the "B" sound. Similarly, we can use the symbol"2" for two, and "3" for "three" . It could also be "3" for two and the vice cersa. However, we call "3" three, because it is on the basis of a belief that "3" is called three. It is not a universal fact*. Nowhere in the universe is it evident that a particular symbol is fixed for a particular entity. Our knowledge comes from assumption, which well, comes from beleif. That is because we assume" that 3 is three". So, both 1+1= 2 and 1+1=3 are a form a belief.
(*-the earth rotates around the sun."
if a=b, b=a
2 is not 1 for 1 to not be 2
assumptions are not knowledge, knowledge is truth, truth is unchanging.. like what you ate for breakfast
2 sodas on my table, is not 3 sodas on my table..

Revenue from insurance brokerage is slipping at bank holding companies.
According to the recently released Michael White Succeed Advisors Bank Insurance Fee Income Report, bank holding companies generated $1.57 billion in insurance brokerage fee income in the first quarter of 2014, down 8.4% year-over-year.
The report attributes the decline to the poor performance of Bank of America Corp. whose insurance brokerage operations lost $31,000, a stunning reversal from the $138 million the business generated in the same quarter a year ago. Small decreases and slow growth in insurance fee income among many of the bank's peers also contributed to the decline, according to the report.
Yet even with their weak performance, the largest bank holding companiesthose with more than $10 billion in assetsstill produced the bulk of the revenue, generating $1.3 billion, or 82.7% of the total. Those with assets between $500 million and $10 billion reeled in $272.5 million. The smallest community banks with less than $500 million in assets generated $40.8 million.
According to the report, a total of 248 bank holding companies were on track to earn $250,000 in annualized insurance brokerage income. Of those, 139 showed positive growth from the previous year, with 92 posting double-digit gains. In contrast, 256 were on track to cross the $250,000 threshold in the first quarter of 2013, with 168 showing positive growth and 116 registering double-digit gains.
"These findings signal a downturn from last year in the number and percentage of bank holding company-owned insurance agencies with minimum annual insurance income of a quarter million dollars that are currently growing fast at 10% or greater," said Michael White, president of Michael White Associates, a research and consulting firm based in Radnor, Pa.
BB&T Corp. was the biggest producer of insurance brokerage income in the first quarter, bringing in $396 million, followed by Wells Fargo & Co. with $394 million and Citigroup with $204 million.
The report was based on data from all 6,730 commercial banks, savings banks and savings associations and 1,080 large top-tier bank holding companies and thrift holding companies with consolidated assets greater than $500 million operating on Dec. 31, 2013.

"This latest revision of the Handbook for Library Trustees of New York State is a continuation of a decades long effort to provide library trustees with a
readable and concise reference to assist them in the performance of their duties. In this edition we have strengthened those areas of the Handbook that generated the most interest these past five years."
On December, 7th 2015, Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System, with the generous support of the Adirondack Foundation, presented the "Building a Board that Works" workshop with Andy Robinson at Plattsburgh Public Library. The workshop focused on designing and evaluating a board, the separation of powers between a board and staff members, financials and financial management, board agreements, and running effective meetings.

Polsinelli welcomes attorney David Streicker as a shareholder in the firm's Business department where he will focus his Energy practice on all aspects of complex project finance and development. Prior to joining the firm, Streicker served as general counsel and ethics officer for the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Development (DCEO), the state's primary economic development agency.
"The energy industry is an important focus for Polsinelli and we're pleased that with David we have the opportunity to further expand the firm's energy practice in the growing Midwest market," said Polsinelli Energy Chair Frank A. Caro, Jr. "With the firm's expanded resources and depth of experience, the firm's platform is right on track with where we want to be as we continue to serve our existing and future clients."
The Polsinelli Energy practice consists of attorneys in Chicago, Denver, Kansas City, Overland Park, Phoenix and Washington, D.C. Clients range from investor owned utilities and electric cooperatives, oil and gas producers, and national and international renewable energy companies.
Streicker advises domestic and international clients on a wide range of energy issues, including public sector financial participation, tax credits, public and private partnerships, negotiation of power purchase agreements, environmental and natural resources regulation, land use and property rights, among others. In his capacity as DCEO general counsel, he was the state's lead attorney for all major development projects.
In addition to his project development experience, Streicker also is an experienced litigator, having tried many matters in both state and federal courts, along with administrative hearings, binding arbitrations and mediations. He was appointed a special attorney general while with DCEO to protect the department's interests before the Illinois Commerce Commission and for grant funds recovery matters.
"I was attracted to Polsinelli because of the strength of its experienced energy team and excellent reputation for high quality work,' Streicker said. "The firm has identified the energy as a key future growth area. With its energy project development footprint in key Midwest states as well as Texas, Arizona and California, Polsinelli offers an outstanding opportunity for expansion of my practice."
Streicker earned his law degree from the University of Illinois College of Law in 1999 and his B.A. degree from Miami University in 1996. He is a member of the American Bar Association, the American Wind Energy Association and the Electric Power Conference Advisory Board.

Rising eco-consciousness in Chinese youth
Posted on | October 24, 2011 | Comments Off on Rising eco-consciousness in Chinese youth
Part 1: Key values and quality of life indicators.
Commissioned by GoodtoChina and conducted by market research company enoVate, this report uses an online survey, in-depth interviews and immersion activities in Shanghai to understand key values and quality of life indicators for Chinese youth. It found that both key values and quality of life indicators were in keeping with positive environmental principles. Ranked four and five of the top five values ascertained in the study were 'living in an urban landscape', which alluded to a holistic, balanced city with green leisure spaces and clean options for consumption, and 'clean air, clean environment'. These came after personal health/wellness, strong interpersonal communities, and the pursuit of individual interests.
Furthermore, 99% of respondents surveyed in this study agreed with the statement 'environmental issues will be one of China's most important future areas to focus on', demonstrating the growing eco-consciousness of Chinese youth today. Respondents identified a number of ways that they as individuals can personally improve the environment including reducing air pollution, limiting carbon emissions, and reducing waste. These everyday actions are highly compatible with cycling as a form of transportation in the city.
Part 2: Youth perceptions of the bicycle.
In an effort to understand the potential compatibility of cycling with youth values, the second part of the study used the same research methods to gauge modern youth perceptions of the bicycle. The participants had both practical and romantic/nostalgic perceptions of bike riding, from the bicycle as simply a way to 'get from point A to point B', to bicycles being dubbed 'wings' and associated with 'midnight rides through an empty city'. All of these notions can be utilized in positive ways to promote cycling, though findings also indicate an ingrained stigma against bike riding as a mode of transportation for the poor or for farmers. In a country where the masses are striving towards building and displaying their own wealth, it is necessary to build on existing positive conceptions of the bicycle to create a contemporary, fashionable perception of cycling as a mode of transportation for Shanghai's in vogue communities.

Greetings Kings and Queens of the World,
It is with great honor and privilege that I welcome you to our (virtual) home. It seems like just yesterday, Pi Kappa Psi was merely an aspiration and today I am pleased to share with you the finished product, born of my passions and beliefs. I hope that this organization serves as a place of refuge for many women seeking genuine sisterhood with an everlasting bond and may it be a vessel, used to spread love, kindness, and empowerment into every community we can reach.
Pi Kappa Psi Sorority was created, not out of lack of substance for any other organization because we respect and appreciate the organizations that have come before us, ultimately paving the way; it was however created to take a different fraternal approach with the greatest emphasis on sisterhood itself. We welcome you to take this journey with us, in whatever capacity you may choose, and be a witness to the beautiful legacy in the making. Be blessed and encouraged and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
"Write it the way you want it recited."
-Candace Mays.
The purpose of Pi Kappa Psi Sorority is to unite women sharing common goals, ideas and aspirations and creating a platform through which these women can empower, encourage and inspire one another and others; to create a society of women who are pillars in the community and carry themselves in an elite and ladylike fashion at all times, serving as a figure young women can look to for guidance and direction; to help establish higher standards and to create programs and opportunities to dramatically increase the quality or life and/or socioeconomic position of all who we encounter, through philanthropy and service, education, events, and more.
The mission of Pi Kappa Psi Sorority is to unify women of all creeds, nationalities, backgrounds and walks of life for the purposes of sisterhood, and service; to support them as they support one another in their academic, personal, spiritual and professional development, to build a more favorable sense of self image through fortification, support and reaffirmation; to come together to overcome obstacles, identify and alleviate hardships and injustices plaguing women, to foster individual excellence while together, making strides to establish and maintain an excellent sisterhood; to dispel the idea that as women we are in competition and banish the dog-eat-dog mentality and inspire unity, family, loyal and trust among those who are members and affiliates of Pi Kappa Psi sorority, cultivating women all over the world to do the same.
Pi Kappa Psi Sorority is emerging into the world with the vision of making a paramount difference in the lives of the women in our own communities, as well as those outside of our direct influence. It is not just the black community, the community of women or individuals in the same regions as our chapters that we want to impact. We are here to change the world. Pi Kappa Psi will, through volunteerism, innovation and charity, be a leader in creating opportunities that are rare and non-existent, taking the roads less traveled in our philanthropy.

Lessons from the Trenches is a series of a few things that I have learned over the last few months from watching and listening to my mom friends in action.
Check out Lessons from the Trenches: Stop Wasting, Lessons from the Trenches: Yelling, and Lessons from the Trenches: Love of My Life.
"family values"
Friend: Devon
Friend's Kids: 2 girls, Chicken and Buster's ages
Friend's Parenting Vibe: Clear, respectful, warm, delighted. Kids adore Devon because she delights in their delight, and also takes no shit. They are comforted by her steadfastness and grateful that she doesn't bend the rules and make them question the order of the world, even if they can't really articulate that yet.
Friend's Parenting Spirit Animal: Lioness
she plays
but you never forget
Devon and I met in PEPS, which, if you're not from Washington, stands for Program for Early Parenthood Support. PEPS groups are a staple for new parents in WA - the organization matches you with other parents who have newborns around your baby's age, and who live in your general area. It's instant network, instant community, and it's a lifesaver.
The first time I walked into our PEPS group, I zeroed in on Devon and I was like "OK I'm gonna be friends with her."
I set out to learn everything I could about her - background, education, shoe size, thread count, favorite jazz albums - and then I began to incorporate myself into her world, practicing her accent in the mirror at night, trying on her clothes... and lovers. And before we knew it we were singing Tu Vuo Fal Americano in a sweaty little bistro and we were best friends and maybe more, but then I crushed her skull in a boat off San Remo after she called me a loser but it was okay because by then we had the same haircut and thread count so it was almost too easy for me to slip into her life...*
Wait, I'm sorry, was I writing out loud just then?
*OK so the hilarious part about that whole Talented Mr. Ripley reference is that there is literally no fucking way Devon has seen or will ever see that movie because she has seen about 8 movies in her entire life and she MIGHT get that number into double-digits before age 50 but I wouldn't bet on it, so when Devon was reading that Ripley riff she must have been like "Katie is one twisted fuck," but NO, DEVON. TWAS A MOVIE that was the twisted fuck, not I!
Ha... haha... um, I meant to say that over the course of our time together in PEPS we became close friends, and then we each got pregnant with our second kids around the same time, and had our babies around the same time, and when you go through battle like that, the friendships are more than friendships - you've sat quietly on the same couch for hours together, just staring into space. There's no ringing of doorbells when you visit.
Devon and her family have their family values posted in their home:
Be Kind
Be Gentle
Be Generous
Be Safe
Be Respectful
I love this for so many reasons.
1. Their family brand is super clear and well-articulated, which will make licensing supes-easy down the road. Like, they basically have a color palette for when they get their own Bravo show. #DevonsFamilyValues
2. By articulating those family values, she has created a shared cultural vocabulary that is specific to her tribe, and that shared vocabulary contributes to a sense of unity and a common goal. They can celebrate those values together, and it's far more powerful to say, "Remember our family value of kindness" than it is to say, "Be nice," or "Stop calling me poop or you get a time-out."
3. She got to make like super cool family values signs? And... I really like making signs too?
4. Those family values act like I-beams, rooting the foundation of the choices that the family makes, and the boundaries that she and her husband protect.
For example, "No, you may not push your sister down the stairs on her bicycle. Why? Well, because one of our family values is safety, and that is not safe." And then she can point and that shit is ON THE WALL. CLUTCH.
I've heard Devon say, "Anytime I say no to you, it will come back to these family values. I want you to experience the world and make your own choices, and I'll even let you make your own mistakes, but not if they are not in line with our family values."
So after approximately, oh, four and a half years of struggling to come up with reasons to say "no" to things like riding a Rubbermaid storage tub down the stairs or "let's take turns biting each other," I decided to give Devon's Family Values a try.
We gathered for a family meeting and determined our own family values:
Coloring Together
Quiet Mornings Reading Literary Fiction With a Cup of Coffee
Statement Necklaces
Sneaking Your Own Better Snacks Into The Independent Movie Theater
No, no, no. Those aren't our family values. Those are just... my values. Or, maybe my goals. Possibly just "a perfect Sunday." I can't remember. I haven't slept.
Our ACTUAL family values are:
I was shooting for 5 values so I could be like my sister-from-another-mister Devon, but we got to 4 and Buster climbed out of his chair and said, "I'm bored. I'm going to leave now," and then he kept his promise.
(Side note - No good ever comes from dragging your child back to the table so you can FINISH THE GODDAMNED FAMILY MEETING, especially if the only thing really left is the closing cheer, which is usually hands in and a "Kaboom" or "Woo hoo" on 3, and is actually pretty upsetting when the kids are crying and trying to escape and you're forcibly holding their hands in the middle of the table barking "OK THAT'S A "YIPPEE" ON THREE. ONE. TWO... CHICKEN STOP CRYING.")
I made signs and put them up on the wall, and every time someone did something that demonstrated those family values, we wrote it down on the sign.
In the process of making these lists, my love of this system has only grown deeper and more complex. YES, I was able to point to signs on the wall. YES, I was able to create a common family culture around these I-beams. YES, I was able to MAKE SIGNS!
But there was more.
- When you actually take the time to notice OUT LOUD when your children are kind, respectful, and helpful, you realize that damn, your kids are pretty fucking great. They do a lot of kind, helpful, respectful shit.
- It made me feel thankful for my kids, rather than annoyed by them.
- It made them feel proud when their good deeds were noticed. They got hooked (albeit temporarily) on the high of getting their family values noticed.
- We were able to come up with some new family catch phrases. "Find your kindness," is a big one:
Buster: GET ME MILK.
Me: Buster--
Buster: NOW.
Me: Find your kindness, young man.
Buster: Where is it?
Me: I honestly don't know. Please find your kindness and ask me again.
Buster: Mommy may I have some milk? Please?
Me: Absolutely! You found your kindness!
... but my absolute favorite lesson that I learned from family values happened one day in the car.
Chicken and Buster were in the backseat talking about a big, big tower that Buster had built that morning.
Buster: It was a big, big tower! So big it was bigger than everything!
Chicken: And I am going to smash it.
Buster: Noooooooooooooooo....
Me: Chicken, please find your kindness.
Chicken: I lost it.
Me: Oh yeah, I can see that. Please find your kindness when you talk to your brother. He worked really hard on that tower.
Chicken: And I am going to--
Me: Chicken
Chicken: SMASH IT.
Buster: NOOOOOOOOOO!!! (he begins to cry)
Me: Chicken, first of all, you're not going to smash it because I won't let you smash it. Second of all, I want you to think about our family values. What you are doing right now, saying something that you know will scare your brother and hurt his feelings, that's not kindness. That's not respect. That's not helping.
Chicken: ... but it is learning.
Because we came up with these family values, I was able to recognize the degree of my son's sociopathy at such a young age that we were actually able to get him into an early intervention program that will put him on the short list for a human soul.
If you enjoyed this post or seriously any of my posts, please consider supporting my blog through Patreon. $2 or $5 a month helps me take my blog to the next level, which I'm assuming is the level where people send me free things. I don't know. I'd like some free things.
This is new and freaks me out a little bit. But if you like my writing, find it valuable, and want to help me be able to do it more often, you can help me treat this work like, well, like my job.
Thanks for reading!

The Sunday Star front-paged a story today.
My friend, U-En wrote a letter to The Star which they may or may not print. I have his permission to post the letter here. Read and circulate as needed please. Go to U-En's blog HERE
(The Star did not print U-En's letter. They printed this one instead.)
Has civic responsibility failed to such an extent that we do not recognise the idea of subjecting adolescents to a national curfew, with their identity cards to be checked by "social workers or police after 11pm" (Concern over teenagers hanging out late at night, May 2) as reactionary, authoritarian and unconstitutional?
I should have thought it obvious enough that a parent's duty to his or her child includes educating that child in personal responsibility and safety. To relegate even a part of that duty to the state, beyond national education, is a ludicrous admission that Malaysians are on a very basic level unfit to be parents.
Maybe this is so; and maybe we are so morally feeble that our first instinct when faced with children staying out late is to assume it is a "growing phenomenon" -- some kind of crime or anti-social "indulgence" -- and without really proving our case we react in typical knee-jerk fashion by appealing to some form of sweeping national policy.
Why? Is it because we lack the backbone to stand up as good examples for our own young? Are we incapable of discipline?
And who are we really to demand that our children do as we say when we fail so spectacularly to maintain even rudimentary standards of civil behaviour (let alone serve as good examples) on the road, in shopping complexes, other public spaces and even at home?
Really the only way to "police" minors effectively is to have them do it themselves. They must be taught to tell right from wrong and to choose the right path of their own volition: anything else would be fatuous tyranny that does nothing but ridicule authority in general, and the only way we can achieve this is to act responsibly ourselves.
A chief responsibility right now is to recognise that children will undoubtedly make mistakes, as will we -- such is the nature of being human -- but whatever the case no child should have to fear being shot in the head, no matter what time it is.
Ultimately if we treat the young without respect, we lose all right to expect any in return.

The Tišnov Karst
The karstic phenomena in the surroundings of the highest peak on the Hill Květnice (the cave Pod Křížem/Under the Cross, the Květnice Abyss, the King's cave/Králova jeskyně), on the hill Dřínová and on the top of the hill Tábory near the village Štěpánovice (Vavříček's Cave/Vavříkova jeskyně) are generally referred to as the Tišnov karst/Tišnovský kras. These secluded phenomena bound to the topsoil Devonian limestone in the development of the hill Květnice, made a whole in the past. This whole became divided due to the later tectonic and erosion activities of the river Svratka and the brook Besének.
With the exception of the fields of lapis, the Tišnov karst lacks the typical surface features – sink holes, blind valleys, open abyss and similar other features...
Vavříček's Cave/Vavříkova jeskyně
Rudolf Vavříček, a native of Štěpánovice, discovered the cave in the north-eastern slope of the hill Tábory near the village Štěpánovice in 1945. The entrance into the cave was so narrow that it had to be widened using explosives. The cave has the character of an abyss with a bottom filled up with scree and is 17 metres deep. Big draught passing through the cave shows that there may be other karstic space under the scree grate.
The Lažánky-Heroltice Karst
Another karstic area is situated south of Tišnov between Heroltice and Bílý potok. The karstic phenomena are bound to a strip of the local Devonian limestone of the Lažánky-Heroltice area. The karst has developed in several layers/storeys and unlike the Tišnov karst it remains active at least in its lowest layer. The cave systems were created as a result of activities of three subterranean streams: the first brook caves in south of the village Maršov down the bottom of the Silver trench/Stříbrná zmola. The other brook disappears north of Lažánky in the Lažánky sinkhole and rises 1.5 kilometres away in the Maršovice channel (in a place called Vinc's karst spring) The last subterranean stream is the Pejškov brook which rises in a place called "Na Bílé" near the village Heroltice. Most of the above-mentioned karstic caves have remained not accessible.

Reviews: Gum Girl – Tentacles Of Doom – reviewed by Mae, aged 9
Gum Girl Volume 2 – Tentacles Of Doom
by Andi Watson
Published by Walker Books
Review by Mae (Year 5)
Time once more for a review from one of the children at the school I (Richard) work in. You know the one, it's got the best graphic novel library in the country for the primary age group, packed with so many great graphic novels, many of which I've talked about right here. But there's absolutely nothing better than hearing just what the children think of the graphic novels. A group of children reviewed Gum Girl Volume 1 this time last year, but here's super-reader Mae to review Volume 2:
Grace Gibson, the main character, lives in the town of Catastrophe. Helped by her friend Billy she tackles super-evil, at Calamity Primary school and elsewhere.
One problem, Billy musn't know she's super-hero 'Gum Girl'.
Leading two lives is a difficult buisness so her main problem is tackling them at the same time. As Grace she has to tidy her room, visit the aquarium, and do chores for her pocket money. But on the other hand, as Gum Girl she is always saving Calamity from disaster!
In the first story of the three in "The Tentacles Of Doom" she sends dust bunny rolling down the hill as he is trying to make dust and dirt prevail in Calamity Primary School. At home though she is having tidy-up trouble as her room is a total disaster. Another problem has surfaced as the school caretaker is not doing his job!
The second is just as interesting as Gum Girl has to race against time to save the town from flooding at the Mishap Dam because Octopus Prime is trying to take over Catastrophe.Gum Girl though is not going to let that happen.
In the last story Sick St. Nick gets bitten on the bum by a dog that has been holding a grudge for far too long
The pages that showed it was a fun and funny comic were pages 63 and 64, the last pages of the Sick St. Nick story.Poor Grace has beaten the baddie, but now she needs pocket-money to buy more laboratory equipment as she exploded the last set she had! So she uses her "nitro gum" to clear up a pile of pruned branches in the garden….
The very funniest bit though was her dad's glasses that go all wonky because of the bang, but when he dashes outside nothing is there… including the branches!
As she said: "It's no good for chewing but that Nitro Gum can sure clean garden waste!"
The only problem with Gum Girl is the way that the villains are defeated pretty much the same way each time. In the first story all Grace needed to use was her aqua-gum to make the bunny stop in mid-leap, the second story has exactly the same problem, with the gumerang making the whole system shut down. I think it would have been more exciting if it hadn't worked and she had to get inside the getaway car with Octopus Prime! And in the third story Sick St. Nick is bitten by a dog, which seems too simple.
I would recommend this to any fan of Gum Girl and to comic lovers all over the world! Gum Girl is a great comic and perfect for younger readers.
Thanks to Mae for allowing us to post this here. Mae is a huge reader, devours books and comics, loves to read and has even made her very own superhero for the Phoenix, which quite rightly won her the fabled top banana when it was printed in Phoenix issue 43.
Andi Watson and Walker Books have just released Gum Girl Volume 3 – Countdown To Destruction.

Great review, Mae!
Wow, Mae, thank you for your wonderful review of The Tentacles of Doom! I'm so happy you found it funny and enjoyed Grace and Gum Girl's problems and adventures. I think in future, Octopus Prime will try to make his evil gadgets more robust (he was using stolen parts while working full time at the aquarium) and Sick St. Nick will put up more of a fight if he ever shakes off that awful cold of his. I think he must secretly want some time off and to rest up in Wertham Asylum's sick bay. Thanks again for reading! Best, andi.
