Last year those who believe in global warming could make hay. March in Indiana was so warm it was off the charts. July brought temperatures that resembled those recorded in the 1930s. Then there's 2013 – definitely a year with a mind of its own. Forecasters called for a warm, wet spring. They got the wet part right, but up until now, at least, they missed the warm part. Maybe they believe in global warming too. I could show you about 500 high school kids who don't…Continue Reading
If what I'm about to say sounds somewhat like what I said last week, you're very perceptive. One week ago I presented the argument to get behind the Dodge Superbowl commercial featuring Paul Harvey and ask city cousins to watch it. Maybe it wasn't perfect, but it's the most positive message shown to a huge public audience about agriculture in a long time, maybe in my lifetime. It's not every day you can speak in positive tones to 100 million people. Set aside the…Continue Reading
There's a local radio personality who plays a 30-seocnd routine every night of two guys critiquing his show. They start out, "It's great," and the other responds "It was wonderful." Then they start picking it apart. By the end of the bit, they conclude "It was awful," and "Yeah, it was horrible." I saw that scenario play out for real after Dodge's Super Bowl commercial featuring the late Paul Harvey's poem, "So God Made a…Continue Reading
Our item that ran right around election day said that no matter how the election turned out, the sun would come up the next morning – somewhere. "Maybe it did. But it was certainly mighty cloudy," one reader told us tongue-in-cheek. The Wednesday after election day was cloudy in Indiana. But the reader was referring to the political races, especially the Presidential election. Obviously, he was a Romney supporter. Actually, it looks like we're back where we…Continue Reading
Some will be happy this week on Wednesday morning, others will be disappointed. Some may think the world is coming to an end. It's possible I might be one of them, except I've been down this road before. Things don't always go as I want either, but one thing has never disappointed me. No matter what happened I didn't like, or how embarrassing something was, the sun still came up the next morning. You may not be able to see it, if it proves to be cloudy, but somewhere &ndash…Continue Reading
Let me say at the outset that there are hundreds of dedicated 4-H leaders, county fair board members, people serving on county 4-H councils and state fair board members all across the state. Many people think through situations carefully and don't act without first considering the consequences.

With that said, the rest of you may want to get out…Continue Reading
Last week came two Supreme Court decisions, neither of which was easy to understand. Even legal experts were baffled by the twists and turns used to reach decisions, especially in the healthcare ruling. At the same time, more regulations flow from EPA regulators in Washington, D.C. The ones that make any sense just make life out here more difficult. The ones that don't make any sense are a dead giveaway that the people writing them either have no common sense, have never been on a real farm, or…Continue Reading
I'm not a politician, and this isn't a political column.

A phone call with a regulator this week prompted me to view how we should take care of our land and resources in a slightly different way. One new rule requiring licensing for applicators who apply fertilizer for hire or manure from a CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operation) unit goes into effect Jan 1. At the same time there is a rule proposed for how fertilizers are handled in this state. You can comment on it until January 7, but it won't be finalized likely until spring, and probably…Continue Reading
Believe it or not, the winter that would never end and the spring that many wish they could forget about are basically over, with spring officially turning to summer this week.

Heritage, Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe and Ringgold high school seniors are taking advantage of the work-based learning credits offered in Catoosa County. By holding a job while in school, these students are actually gaining school credit and mastering the professional skills they will soon need in the workplace.
Graduation is only three months away. In order to encourage student success even more after they gain a high school diploma, a special VIP (Valuable Information from Professionals) event was held Wednesday, Feb. 6, at the Colonnade on Battlefield Parkway.
There were a total of five stations at The Colonnade to help students gain professional information. Marissa Brower, communications specialist for Catoosa County Public Schools, described the information being given as "soft skills."
"Soft skills are personal attributes and intrapersonal skills that enhance your ability to be successful on a job," said Brower. "And these skills are very important to employers. The top characteristics listed for new hires were all soft skills, including the ability to communicate, a strong work ethic, initiative, interpersonal skills and teamwork."
These basic skills are learned abilities that are valuable in a professional setting. Brower quoted the U.S. Department of Labor website saying, "Soft skills pay the bills." In 2012, Brower worked with teachers and leaders in the community to write a work-ready grant. The grant was intended to provide opportunities to seniors be successful when they graduate, she said. The VIP event was funded with the grant and from donations from local businesses.
The individual stations included dressing for success with Christie Kline from Erlanger at Hutcheson; resumes and interview skills with Lee Anderson from Roadtec; social media in the workplace with Don Foley from Georgia Northwestern Technical College; managing income and credit with Sarah Oster from Partnership for Families, Children and Adults; and how to make the career you want work for you with Randy Smith. Lastly, all the students rejoined in the banquet room where they took part in an etiquette class during lunch led by Suzanne Chovanec.
Smith, talking about making a career work, emphasized to the seniors that there will be difficult decisions to make in life and in the end you have to find a career that truly makes a person happy.
"Who do you want to be?" was the question Smith posed to the students. It was about asking meaningful questions to find the right direction for life. In the other stations, Oster stressed the importance of setting credit goals and tracking spending, while Anderson warned about showing age on a resume. Several of the visiting professionals told seniors to be careful about what is put on Facebook. The public domain is often used to find background information on job applicants.
The VIP event was held for working seniors, but a school-wide college and career day is being held Feb. 15 at Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School to prepare seniors even more. Bo Campbell, work-based learning coordinator at Lakeview, was excited about the opportunities offered to the modern-day seniors. Preparation for a career is necessary for a successful future, he said.

Obesity Increase Worldwide
By: Jennifer Penate
Updated: December 28, 2012
About 500 researchers from 50 countries compared health data from 1990 to 2010 and found a 82% increase in obesity rate among those countries.
"A lot of countries are moving away from their traditional eating habits and eating one of the 'Western Style', convenient fast foods," states Kristin Woodruff, Certified Dietitian.
Doctors say everyone can do their part in reducing obesity by eating healthier and exercising more frequently.

Manufacturers are embracing a trend towards the production of green products. As a result, it is now easy to move in the direction of "greening" in your home office. While sometimes choices can be far more overwhelming than "paper or plastic," many businesses and websites are working to educate as well as sell their environmentally friendly products now.
Here are a few things to consider when making your home office greener:
- Energy use: Turning your electronics off with a power strip and using energy-saving bulbs are two examples.
- Green office supplies: There are plenty to choose from now. See below for more info.
- Recycling bins: Keep them handy and obvious so you'll use them.
- E-waste disposal: Nearly everything in your home office will end up in a landfill one day. How are you disposing of your materials (i.e. batteries, computers, toner cartridges, etc.)? Many communities either offer recycling of these types of items at the local transfer station. Also, specialized companies often advertise in the local paper for "drop-off days" for used electronics for a small fee.
- Lowering your carbon footprint: Keep a list and try to purchase what you need in one trip, or order online to reduce vehicle use.
Light Green, Medium Green and Dark Green
A concept that is growing in the business and environmental worlds is the idea of easing your way into better choices for the environment. Now there is no longer just the term "green", but "light green," "medium green" and "dark green." One company gives an excellent example of how to view the shades of green concept: Think of a coffee cup that is 10 percent recycled material as light green; a biodegradable coffee cup as medium green; and a stainless steel travel mug as dark green. The same example plays out for any number of products, such as paper. You can buy paper that is made without chlorine, 30 percent recycled paper, or 100 percent recycled paper. Some companies even offer plastic tabs on file folders that are PVC-free. The good news is, buying green is now becoming a good way to save money as well.
Saving Money on Green Office Supplies
Supply and demand has brought down costs for green office supplies and has improved techniques for remanufacturing used products. There are companies devoted to remanufacturing ink jet and toner cartridges. Consider that it takes a half-gallon of oil to produce one toner cartridge weighting approximately 2.5 pounds. Remanufacturing keeps plastics and metals out of the landfills.
Other companies specialize in salvage and surplus. Purchasing from these types of companies saves you money and again, keeps dangerous items out of landfills.

EUGENE — University of Oregon assistant football coach Scott Frost has been elevated to the positions of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Ducks head coach Mark Helfrich confirmed Thursday.
Frost, 38, has served as the program's wide receivers coach for the past four seasons following one year as defensive coordinator at the University of Northern Iowa (2008) and two seasons as linebackers coach at UNI (2007-08).
A quarterback in college, Frost was a two-year starter at Nebraska after lettering two years at Stanford. He quarterbacked Nebraska to the 1997 national championship.
Frost went on to play six seasons in the NFL as a safety and special teams player with the New York Jets (1998-2000), Cleveland Browns (2001), Green Bay Packers (2001-02) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2004).
"Scott is a bright, passionate and talented young coach who we are excited to lead our offense," Helfrich said. "His background on both sides of the ball, the coaches he's been exposed to (including Stanford's Bill Walsh, Nebraska's Tom Osborne and the Jets' Bill Parcells) and his high character offer further foundations for his success."

Callenish Circle
My Passion // Your Pain
Probably the most underrated melodic death metal band out there, Callenish Circle has created a successor to their absolute masterpiece of an album, "Flesh_Power_Dominion" in the beautifully gruesome form of "My Passion//Your Pain". The Dutch quintet has slowly been climbing the ranks of the top deathrash metal bands for the past 11 years now. The question remains though. is "My Passion//Your Pain" on par with "Flesh_Power_Dominion"? Possibly the best thing about Callenish Circle is the fact that they have such a massively outstanding beat in every song. You're pummeled with catchy riff after catchy riff, and welding them all together in a fiery blaze is that incredible beat. My hat goes off to drummer Gavin Harte for being able to switch time signatures on the fly. The guitar work of this band is another thing that is just indescribably GOOD. This is the heaviest Callenish album to date, yet somehow it remains melodic. Heavy, HEAVY melodies are just what the doctor ordered, and "My Passion//Your Pain" delivers them over and over again in large, wonderfully painful doses. The cherry on top is the vocal delivery of Pat Savelkoul. So multifaceted are his vocals, from the guttural growl to the thrashy rasp, in my opinion he is the premiere aggressive vocalist in the business. The opening track, "Soul Messiah", is the perfect opener. It's quick paced, somewhat simple, yet complex enough to make you wonder what could be in store for you in the hour to come. Track 3, "Forsaken", is tied for best Callenish Circle song ever, second only to "Take Me Along" from "Flesh_Power_Dominion". The insanely catchy riffage coupled with the aforementioned beats pull you in and shred your insides. The album hits its stride with tracks like "What Could Have Been", "This Truculent Path", and "My Hate Unfolds". To close out the album, they finish in style with "Out Of The Body", a Pestilence cover. All one needs to hear are the words "Callenish Circle" to automatically think "contender for album of the year". "My Passion//Your Pain" is yet another wonderfully solid album from one of the top bands of the melodic deathrash genre. Different enough from "Flesh_Power_Dominion", yet staying true to what makes Callenish Circle great, this album is a must-have. If this release doesn't solidify their inclusion in the group of top bands of the here-and-now, then nothing will. Wrathchild's Choice Cuts: Forsaken - Good god, the riffage never ceases This Truculent Path - Pinpoints the exact point where the album hits it's long, shimmering, metallic stride My Hate Unfolds - Sweet double bass surgically grafted to awesome riffs means awesome metal

The Lost Squirrel...
The Lost Squirrel
Robert Langdon woke from a dreamless sleep in his Cambridge apartment near Harvard University, America's oldest and finest college of higher learning. Sleep, he knew, was a habit shared by all mammals and most invertebrates. No one understood why sleep was so necessary for these life forms but Robert Langdon knew that dolphins only slept with half their brain at any one time, otherwise they would drown. Dreams were another of the many domains of Robert Langdon's expertise. Freud, of course, was not the first to interpret dreams; famously Joseph of the Israelites, exiled in the land of Egypt, had become an expert dream reader for the pharaohs.
Robert Langdon got out of bed and walked across the carpet. Carpets had been covering the homes of human beings since weaving was discovered by the Sumerians in the second millennium BC. His carpet had not however come from Sumeria, but rather from the Ikea on I-95. It was 5.55 in the morning the same time philosopher Immanuel Kant woke each day for his constitutional walk around the city of Konigsberg. Kant was so regular that shopkeepers could set their watches by him. Now of course Konigsberg had been renamed Kaliningrad and was no longer in East Prussia but rather in the odd Russian exclave of Kaliningrad Oblast. Chuckling Robert Langdon wondered if the Knights of the Teutonic order would have been happy with that state of affairs.
"Oh tempora, oh mores," he said in Latin, once the universal language spoken by all cultured peoples but now a mere tool for academics and the esoteric tongue of the Vatican.
In the kitchen the Harvard University wall calendar told him that it was Tuesday. Tuesday, he thought, remembering that it was named for the Norse god Tiu, the equivalent of the Roman god Mars. Tuesday was the second day of the week, coming between Monday and Wednesday. Tuesday and Thursday were the only days of the week that began with a T, although Thursday's T was a soft one, not a hard one.
Robert Langdon opened his Northland 3000 refrigerator, the most expensive fridge in the world, a gift from his mentor the brilliant Professor of quantum mechanics John Elton who was also an international singing star and who used a cunningly inverted stage name and red wig to hide himself. Robert Langdon took out a pint of milk. Milk he knew came from the lactation glands of cows. All female mammals lactated. He wondered if duck billed platypuses did so. Hmm, he thought, if only there was some device that could give him that information easily. Some kind of encyclopedia - perhaps stored electronically. If such a device existed you wouldn't need everything explained all the time, because you could assume that people weren't idiots and they could just look stuff up they didn't know.
He poured the milk into his bowl of cornflakes. Cornflakes of course had been developed by William Keith Kellogg as a health food, but now were consumed across the world by all cultures. He ate quickly. The Harvard University pool where he swam each morning opened at 6:30 and that only gave him fifteen minutes to get dressed in his trousers and polo neck. Trousers of course had been popularized by Beau Brummel following the sans culottes revolution in F-
The phone rang. "Is this Bob Langdon?" a guttural voice asked. A voice that seemed to be speaking from another dimension entirely, maybe even another universe. Modern physics had proven that many universes existed - the multiverse it was called - but telephone conversations between the universes had never been thought possible. Perhaps until today!
"This is Semiotics Professor Robert Langdon of Harvard University, America's oldest and finest institution of higher learning."
"I'm a Boise State man myself, listen Bob, we live just across the street and your car alarm has been going off for the last fifteen minutes, can you come out and turn it off, please."
Robert Langdon knew that alarms had existed since Roman times when the sacred geese on the Capitol hill had alerted the sleeping citizens that an attack by the Celts was imminent.
"Can you go outside, please, pal. We want to get back to sleep."
"Did you know that dolphins only sleep with half their br..." Robert Langdon began but the phone was dead. It reminded him that the first phone call had been made in this very city by Alexander Graham Bell who had unfortunately not taught at Harvard but rather at the inferior Boston University.
Professor Robert Langdon dressed and went outside. The alarm on his Porsche Boxster S was indeed sounding. Porsche was a German company founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche, but that was not important right now, what was important was the alarm.
He turned it off with a push on his infrared key button. Robert Langdon was worried. What could possibly have set off this alarm in the first place? He examined the car's roof. It was covered with squirrel poop. Squirrels were a type of rodent common in North America and Europe. The squirrel was in the tree, naked and afraid. Could it have jumped on the roof and started the alarm, shat itself and jumped off. No. That didn't seem likely at all. What struck Robert Langdon about the poop was the fact that if you cocked your head and looked at it in a funny way it seemed to be arranged in an aleph, first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and key to the ancient wisdom of the Zohar. A chill coursed through him.
"I have a terrible feeling," he said out loud to no one in particular "that I am about to be thrust into another one of my strange adventures."
The wind blew from the north, which in this hemisphere was where the polar regions lay. He turned up the collar on his coat and headed towards the Georgian buildings of Harvard University, America's oldest and finest institution of higher learning.

Apparently dolphins can read Dan Brown while they're asleep, using the sleeping side of their brain. It says it right there in the Upanishads.

This is the first time I've been able to get through more than a paragraph of Brown's work. Congratulations, Adrian!
But penis envy, dude? Seriously?
And I don't doubt anyone alive short of Bill gates would jealous of Brown's bank account, but talent? To paraphrase Andrew Vachss, do you think Muddy Waters envies Vanilla Ice because To the Extreme outsold Hard Again twenty to one? - October 8, 2009 at 1:07 AM

People at my job are looking at me, wondering why I have tears in my eyes. I told them my grandmother died. That seems to satisfy them.
THE DAVINCI CODE lost me on the first page. If the curator of the Louvre, the world's most famous art museum, had the reserves of strength and presence of mind to arrange himself in such a manner while dying from an evisceration, why didn't he just drag his ass back to his office and make a phone call? Or maybe spell out a clue--the killer's name comes to mind--in his own blood?
I finished it--I'm OCD that way--but fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... - October 8, 2009 at 1:32 AM

Dan Brown is one of the most overrated writers alive today. I'm OCD, like Dana, and finished The Da Vinci Code (scratching and clawing for the end) and then went on to read Angels and Demons (fooled me twice, shame on me), and even saw both movies because I'm basically a masochist.
I suffer the equivalent of road rage (book rage?) over Dan Brown's plot holes and convoluted premises.
This lost squirrel piece is a joke, right? The bit about Langdon cocking his head a certain way and seeing squirrel shit "arranged in an aleph, first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and key to ancient wisdom of Zohar" is funnier than funny. But please tell me this is a joke or my head will explode because it's almost entirely believable that Dan Brown would write this type of doo doo. - October 8, 2009 at 5:04 AM

So, let me get this straight, Harvard is an old school? And people think it's pretty good?
At the bar at Bouchercon I was with a group of people and a woman told us that she'd gone to Stanford. No one said anythng, so she explained that, "Stanford is the Harvard of the west coast."
Still nothing, until Jim Born said, "Really? I went Florida State - it's the Harvard of Leon County." - October 8, 2009 at 6:11 AM

Thanks man, although you'd blow your brains out if you had to write a whole book of stuff like that. - October 8, 2009 at 6:36 AM

I listened to Da Vinci as an audio. I didnt mind it too much, although I was pissed off when the narrator gave the myserious caller/agent provacateur and Sir Lee Teabing (or Sir Teabing as he was often called) two completely different voices.
Also Prince Charles and Lady Di got married in St Pauls not Westminister Abbey.
And yeah I'd be more than happy with one percent of his sales. - October 8, 2009 at 6:40 AM

It's a harmless parody. I'm only kidding. But I kid because I love. Or something like that.
I was inspired when D B felt the need to tell me the entire history of tattooing in the first few pages of his new book, because nobody had ever heard of such an exotic thing before. - October 8, 2009 at 6:47 AM

Thats a great story. DB also went to Phillips Exeter, America's oldest and finest private school, home to such alumns as Gore Vidal, James Agee and the kid who plays Dewey in Malcolm in the Middle. - October 8, 2009 at 6:52 AM
OMG good job, this is so effing off the hook. This is a MILD exaggeration of the way Dan Brown writes. I just finished The Lost Symbol and it really is like that.
Niiiice work.
Dont expect any phone calls from Ron Howard's agent any time soon though. - October 8, 2009 at 9:37 AM

Matt, Dude! It was a joke. Sorry that one slipped by you. I'm fairly certain we would all like a piece of Brown's cash pie.
And who's Muddy Waters? Wait, before you respond, that's also a joke.
Josh - October 8, 2009 at 9:54 AM
Its not that Dan Brown's an idiot, he went to Harvard, America's fineset and oldest etc. and a 100 million dollars in the bank prove that, its the fact that he thinks his readers are idiots that gets on my nerves
- October 8, 2009 at 9:55 AM

Shoot. I was just settling in, expecting to finally learn why Harvard has Georgian pillars, and maybe eventually learn the whole Hebrew alphabet, and find out why squirrels seem to know it so instinctively, and above all what was scaring that poor defenseless arborial creature. ("Arborial" means having to do with trees,by the way, and nothing to do with Cockney harbors.) But then it just...stopped.
It's quite obvious that Dan Brown should not be allowed to write short stories but only long tomes so that he can fit in all his vast erudition. Otherwise people will feel they are missing out.
Who read the part of the squirrel, by the way, because that could so easily go badly wrong. - October 8, 2009 at 12:49 PM

I have to say though, the audiobook isnt bad at all. I love those audiobooks where the narrator really performs all the voices. - October 8, 2009 at 3:30 PM

Oh I'll take even a small part of his cash. Or even Tom Hanks's cash. - October 8, 2009 at 3:32 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
I'm feeling a bit defensive about DB. The thing is we all have tendencies in our writing were we can go badly off the rails thats where editors come in and make us get back on track. Brown really needs a slightly tougher editor if he isnt to drive us all mad. Of course what the hell do I know? He's the one selling in the MILLIONS. - October 8, 2009 at 3:34 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
I felt the squirrel character was under utilised. Which type of North American squirrel was he? What colour? Why were we not informed that squirrel meat is commonly eaten in Appalachia but seldom in Massachusetts. Could we not also have been told that squirrel meat can give people Creutzfeld-Jacob disease? Maybe the red squirrel protection plans in the UK could also have been mentioned, as well as a look at squirrel intelligence. - October 8, 2009 at 3:37 PM
- seana said...
Yes, all these questions would no doubt have been answered in the full length novel, but alas, it is not to be.
I don't know if Dan needs any help in the story expanding department--okay, I know he doesn't--but I've actually got new squirrely tales right here in Santa Cruz. The squirrels are pretty active in the back yard, but I didn't know how active till my landlady mentioned to me that this rogue one had run up her leg when she was out watering. When I asked her a few days later if any more incidents had arisen, she said that it really dislikes her cat, and that one morning, it had actually dropped out of a tree to land right by the cat and scare the living bejeezus out of it. Ths is no small cat either.
I didn't know at the time that I was supposed to ask whether it had left a cryptic message in droppings, though. But I can already guess that it probably spelled out, "Get rid of this insufferable cat." Though 'insufferable' (which means 'not possible to suffer', and has nothing to do with squirrel suffrage, surprisingly enough) is probably beyond a squirrel's vocabulary. I know that may sound prejudiced against squirrels, but there it is. - October 8, 2009 at 3:55 PM
Just noticed that you spell out "Robert Langdon" every time. He doesn't do that all the way through does he?

Well, due to the fact that my computer needs a lot of help, I am actally working off an alien hard drive that my computer savvy friend graciously lent me for the near term. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a lot of extras. But I will watch those videos when I can. I love squirrels, even though I had one run up my leg in a vitamin store once. I suppose you can guess what I got warned off of. Vitamins stores.
Also my backyard for the time being. But it looks pretty lovely through the double-paned windows. And I stress double-paned, in case any squirrels are reading along here. I wouldn't put it past them. - October 8, 2009 at 5:02 PM

Have you seen this? Nora Ephron does Steig Larsson
http://www.newyorker.com/humor/2010/07/05/100705sh_shouts_ephron - August 24, 2010 at 11:19 AM
I dont think she quite pulls it off. She kind of peters off towards the end when thats when the piece should have been getting stronger. If she'd read the second Stieg Larsson book she could have mentioned the absurd fact that the heroine gets breasts implants. I dont think her heart was really in it.
I remember when people used to read The New Yorker because it was funny. These days its more nostalgic than funny: Woody Allen, Nora Ephron, David Sedaris - these were the once the heavyweight champs now sadly brought low by the years.
The Onion is funnier, their AV Club is more relevant and, crucially, its free. - August 24, 2010 at 11:35 AM

Rob, I liked it too, but I do understand the New Yorker insider anti-sentiment.
I know any dissing of the New Yorker or the New York creative elite will come across merely as envy, but really? I've read a few NYC novels in recent months, and I have to say ho hum. How provincial.
I am, however, reading a galley of Jonathan Franzen's Freedom. I am really enjoying it, but I am also pretty pissed off about all the hype around it. First of all they decided to make the galleys a scarce commodity, which meant that I had to beg a number of sources simply to review it for our newsletter. Second, even if it turns out to be his masterpiece, why all the attention to this book and scant help to so many other worthy contenders? I was saying to friends at work today that I really hope that all the marketing hype doesn't make me hate this novel, because that's not fair either. It's not coming from Franzen, who's a very decent sort of guy. It's coming from the publishing machine. - August 24, 2010 at 2:07 PM
- rob.james said...
I have problems with Franzen.
I loved The Corrections but also hated everything about it.
It became my favourite and least favourite book of the year. - August 25, 2010 at 10:14 AM
Yes I know its an old trope: the New Yorker is ALWAYS in decline from a once great mythical past, but I do think they need to do something about their humor. Throwing David Sedaris at us once a month just wont do. And I still think Malcolm Gladwell is a complete charlatan. - August 25, 2010 at 10:29 AM
I felt EXACTLY the same way. I loved the jokes and the way the story fitted together but I got annoyed very often too. The whole Eastern Europe sojourn...yikes. And the soft core lesbo stuff...another yikes. Still, yes, my favourite book of that year.
But again, I feel that the novel is probably in decline. The last really great novels I've read were A Suitable Boy and Midnight's Children, both of which - coincidentally - were set in India, but both crucially were written quite some time ago. - August 25, 2010 at 10:32 AM
- seana said...
I actually don't think Franzen would mind that assessment. And I think the new one may strike you both the same way. I do think his writing is both very fluid and very funny. I'm not talking about the jokes, I'm talking about the way he sees the world.
I think the novel has always been in decline in a similar way to that New Yorker trope, but personally I still like reading them.
I like Satanic Verses better. - August 25, 2010 at 11:20 AM

The 27th annual Kentucky Dressage Association's (KDA) Spring Warm Up & Dressage Show, demonstrating the highest expression of horse training, returns May 23-26, 2013, to the Kentucky Horse Park!
Dressage, commonly referred to as horse ballet, is a graceful and disciplined sport where rider and horse perform a series of predetermined movements with minimal direction while maintaining a relaxed posture. At the KDA's Annual Dressage Show, viewers can experience firsthand the fine art of dressage performed by such elegant creatures – horses.
The competition begins with the KDA Spring Warm Up on May 23-24 preceding the annual Dressage Show on May 25-26. The KDA spring shows will conduct all CDI3*/CDI*/CDIY/CDIJ/CDIP classes and many others in the Rolex Stadium, which was the site of dressage and show jumping for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. KDA is expecting more than 230 riders during the four-day show that attracts competitors domestically as well as internationally. Last year, during the 2012 competition, there were riders from Canada and Spain.
The Kentucky Horse Park, in conjunction with the KDA, will present a special World of Horses show on Saturday, May 25.

Dangers of Vaccines: Flu, Hepatitis, HPV and The Facts! and Medical Industry Admits Current Flu Shots Are Useless
Nov 11th
Dr. Ward Bond, Ph.D. talks with nationally syndicated radio talk show host Robert Scott Bell about the dangers of vaccinations and the truth they don't want you to know.
Medical Industry Admits Current Flu Shots Are Useless
The medical community is in the process of unveiling a "universal" influenza vaccine that it claims will prevent all flu strains with a single jab. The only problem is that, in the process, the system has inadvertently admitted that current flu shots are medically useless because they fail to target the correct flu strain in many cases, and they do not stimulate a natural flu-fighting immune response even when the strain is a match.
Read the rest of the story here: http://www.naturalnews.com/034092_universal_flu_shot_vaccines.html
Source for Video: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=72A601CC218454343FA391812A678524
Now I ask myself, do I want to give my precious child, who is the love of my life, the remote chance of getting autism, or brain damage, or liver problems, or any other decease caused by profitable vaccines just because the government is in bed and having unprotected sex with the big pharmaceutical companies? I don't think so.

17 Fun Things to do for St. Patricks Day!
80 comments:
- Kimberly TidwellMarch 3, 2010 at 12:46 PM
I just found your blog today via "TipJunkie" and I am sooo glad I did!!! Wow! What an inspiration. I want to do the "Lay up Treasures in Heaven" activity, but I'm not sure what #12 is or where to find it when I click the link. Thank you...I'll be back often!
ReplyDelete Hi Kimberly,
#12 is just the St Patricks Idea #12 "Send the Kids on a Scavenger Hunt"(above). Here is how we do our FHE, maybe it will make more sense.
Opening Prayer-
Opening Song-
Activity- (this is where you would do #12)
Closing Prayer-
I hope that helps! Thanks for looking!- Kimberly TidwellMarch 9, 2010 at 10:02 AM
Thank you very much! I should have figured that out, but I actually thought, hey this would be a good time to do the hunt she mentioned...and if I would have looked I would have noticed "#12"...have a great day!
ReplyDelete Hi Michelle,
There will be 5 prizes per paper bag...so 25 prizes all together. Each Shamrock will be numbered with a 1,2,3,4 or 5. When they turn in their Shamrocks, they will be able to pick a prize from the bag with the number that matches.
I hope that makes more sense!
AngelaReplies- AnonymousMarch 13, 2012 at 2:07 PM
I love the scavenger hunt idea but it still doesn't make sense to me. If your bags are numbered 1-5 and your shamrocks are also numbered 1-5, who is considered the lucky one?

I'm very dissapointed that I didn't find out about this blog until today. At least I will be more prepared for next year. I really love the link to catch a leprechaun ours wasn't as fun this year. It did take awhile for my 3 year to realize that the "gold" was really chocolate I don't know if she was excited or dissapointed with that. She was even more excited though to find out that the leprechaun turned the milk green. I look forward to doing the treasure hunt next year.
ReplyDeleteI started having the "leprechaun" leave notes for a scavenger hunt about 4 years ago. My kids loved it, but what I didn't realize is that they would BELIEVE it! Now I don't know what to do- it started out as fun and now they believe it as much as they believe in Santa! I love all your ideas. Very fun!

Thank you for sharing your fun ideas! I am an "old" mom who did lots of things with my kids; too bad there were no blogs back in my day. I will share one fun thing we did: I put a drop of green food dye in the bottom of a cereal bowl, then filled it with Lucky Charms and when the kids poured milk on their cereal it "magically" turned green! They loved it!
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMarch 7, 2012 at 2:42 PM
What great ideas. We LOVE to celebrate St. Patrick's day. We have divided the good leprechauns from the naughty ones. The good ones come in a leave green toys, etc. in a box that the kids have decorated. The naughty ones leaves treats at all the outside doors while they were trying to break in and make a mess. This year we are going to let them in a make a big mess.

I always put a few drops of green food color in the toilet...and tell them the "leprachan forgot to flush"
