The event was held on the street downtown Greentown. Estimates of 1,000 or more people gathered to hear music and remarks, participate in patriotic ceremonies, observe laying of wreaths and hear a Proclamation. Many remarks were heard that the event brought people downtown in a way not seen since coming to town for weekly shopping trips, dinner, and visiting was a custom. There were comments that maybe such gatherings could become more regular. More photos on pages 8 & 9.

TV shows such as " West Wing", " The Ageixy" and " The Iistrict" are currently popular. Akewise, a radio program of the 1950' s was " The F. B. I. in Peace and War". McCann's career put him in positions where he could have been in these and ; imilar shows. But, his life is " The Real Thing". The audience will hear First- hand stories from one who lived he life of a crime buster, G- man, 3rofessor, diplomat and warrior. His career in law enforcement includes being a trooper with the Indiana State Police and serving as a Special Agent of the FBI. In I957 he wcepted an invitation by the Agency for International Development of the U. S. State Department to go to Iran as 3 training advisor with the General Dolice Administration of Iran.

More than ten years since he first shone back at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney and after a four year absence from National Team action, Darius Songaila could be back on the Lithuania roster - even if he has previously called time on his International career. Should he be persuaded to come out of retirement, Lithuania will get the skills and experience of a veteran forward who has completed eight successive seasons in the NBA. While last year wasn't exactly his greatest, in particular because of limited court time, he can still offer versatility on offence, a great commitment to the team ethic and a hard-nosed, hard-working approach on defence. He knows hot to get it done and could be an option, perhaps coming off the bench.

Cellar/Tasting Notes A knockout Chardonnay with an arresting hazelnut-butterscotch bouquet and the richness, texture, complexity and palate refreshing acidity of a $50 wine. Bravo! Our best-selling mid-priced Chardonnay.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Another triumph for Invictus, whose wine we introduced to our customers for the first time in 1998. Made from fruit grown at a prestigious, first-growth quality vineyard, Invictus is just the kind of wine we seek but do not find very frequently: one that tastes 50-75% better than its price..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Cullers entry-level 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Casaeda bursts from the glass with juicy red berries, licorice, spices and menthol. This is an especially juicy, forward Cabernet Sauvignon with plenty of early appeal in its generous fruit. At the same time, the addition of Syrah to the blend adds..
Cellar/Tasting Notes From an extraordinary California vineyard, the Talbott Sleepy Hollow deftly combines ripe, core fruit flavors with sweet oak nuances; lasts long and lustfully on the palate and into the finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "2003 was a great vintage for Roederer Estate. This, their top vintage wine, is very great, and the price is an absolute steal for this world class sparkler. Its enormously rich in the strawberries from Pinot Noir and the limes from Chardonnay, while the toast and rich lees combine for a perfect..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Even better, and a killer value, is the 2010 Syrah Colson Canyon. Aged nine months in neutral oak, this 100% Syrah (1,000+ cases made) exhibits attractive notes of roasted herbs, licorice, camphor, blackberries, cassis, roasted meat and bouquet garni. Full body, gorgeous purity and a wonderful..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Foxen's UU Block from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard fights it out every year with the estate Tinaquaic Chardonnay for top honors. In this cool vintage, the former wins out by a hair. Dry, steely and crisp in acidity, it shows vast tropical fruit, orange, vanilla, honey and buttered toast flavors..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "There is no typographical error the current release is the 1995 Chardonnay Cuvee LD. This reasonably priced white was bottled without filtration in August, 1996. Nearly fifteen years later, it still exhibits a light straw color with only a hint of gold. The wine is amazingly youthful, offering..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... Firm tannins frame an expressive core of dark red cherries, flowers and sweet herbs. The inner perfume of Zinfandel resonates on the finish... it is quite beautiful..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "I was totally struck by the 2009 Grenache LAnge Rouge, a wine that captivates all the senses. I hope readers can appreciate just how rare it is to encounter a Central Coast Grenache with this much sheer finesse. The purity of the fruit is simply striking. The 2009 clocks in at 15.8% alcohol, none..

Talented opera singer and Bell's palsy patient Heidi Moss shared her story and musical talent with Babak Azizzadeh, MD, FACS, and other attendees, including Mary Jo Buttafuoco at the most recent support group meeting of the Facial Paralysis and Bell's Palsy Foundation
Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) December 07, 2012
Dr. Azizzadeh appeared on the OWN Network "Where Are They Now?" program alongside Mary Jo recently, where her triumphs in overcoming facial paralysis after sustaining a gunshot wound to the face were documented. Today, Mary Jo has rebuilt her life and educates others as a published author and motivational speaker.
Together, Dr. Azizzadeh and Mary Jo, through the Facial Paralysis and Bell's Palsy Foundation, have created a support group for persons with facial paralysis to come together, share their stories, and encourage each other.
At the most recent support group meeting, opera singer Heidi Moss shared her story of dealing with Bell's palsy, and later treated attendees to an awe-inspiring opera performance. "It was an incredible honor to have both Heidi and Mary Jo attend a support group meeting of the foundation. Hearing both women speak about all that they've overcome is truly inspiring," said Dr. Azizzadeh. "Heidi even performed songs for us that left everyone captivated by her amazing voice."
Heidi Moss was diagnosed in 2007 with Bell's palsy, which is a form of facial paralysis that does not have a known origin and occurs without warning. The condition stems from the inflammation of the facial nerve, which in turn blocks the necessary signals needed for facial movement. Though the disorder clears up naturally in 90% of patients, some cases require surgical procedures and can be permanent.
In Heidi's case, the disorder has yet to go away. What began for Heidi as a troubling and difficult experience, she has turned into an opportunity to inform and educate others through the newly created opera titled "About Face: An Opera Experience," which she will take part in next month in northern California. You can find out more about this performance at http://www.festivalopera.org/aboutface12.php.
Dr. Azizzadeh is trained in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, as well as Head & Neck Surgery, giving him a distinctive insight into facial nerve function and facial aesthetics. Dr. Azizzadeh also has extensive training in microsurgical facial reconstruction, which is often required for the treatment of people who are born with facial paralysis. As an expert in his field, Dr. Azizzadeh has been recognized as a Top Doctor by the US News & World Report and completed a fellowship in facial plastic & reconstructive surgery at the prestigious Harvard Medical School.
For additional information regarding the Facial Paralysis Institute in Beverly Hills or for a schedule of support group meetings, please contact Dr. Azizzadeh by calling (310) 657-2203. Additional inquiries may be made by visiting http://www.facialparalysisinstitute.com/.

Among the countless serendipitous subway rides that must go down daily in New York City, one local artist's MetroCard has made her a viral sensation, thanks to Jay-Z.
The rapper released a documentary short Tuesday on his eight-show engagement that marked the opening of Brooklyn's Barclays Center. On the eve of his final performance, one clip (below) shows Jay hopping a train en route to the grand finale.
Sitting next to what countless outlets have dubbed an "adorable old lady," Jay interacts with the woman in question as she puzzles out his identity. Someone (especially in New York) who doesn't know who Jay-Z is!

"Are you famous?" she asks sweetly.
"Not very famous, you don't know me. But I'll get there someday," says Mr. Beyonce Knowles, reinforcing the crucial strand in his empire's DNA: his hustle.
On film she identifies herself as Ellen, but it didn't take folks long to discover that she's Ellen Grossman, an artist noted for her work in drawing and sculpture.
What a total modern Brooklyn moment. Perhaps they swapped info and will meet up with Solange Knowles for some local artisanal beer or hit an organic farmers market.
Worldwide media have been chasing Grossman for quotes on the encounter, with one close friend even writing a posting to the New York Times. Check out Ellen's work here.

Tom Turner had only been in his new position as executive director of the Greater Portland Economic Development Commission for two days when he traveled to Boston in mid-June for the 2012 BIO International Convention.
The largest global event for the biotechnology industry, BIO 2012 is comprised of hundreds of booths promoting everything from nanotechnology to the newest breast cancer treatments, giving the 16,500 attendees a chance to learn more about advances in research and development and what it could mean for their own business or region.
But it was the lack of one booth in particular that caught Turner's attention -- one adequately representing the state of Maine.
"Maine was represented there, just not to the same degree as some other states," says Turner, who manned a booth along with representatives of the Maine International Trade Center, The Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, Fluid Imaging Technologies and the University of Maine, among others.
The lack of a sizeable pavilion showcasing Maine's biotechnology sector at a major international trade show less than two hours from the state's border was a glaring omission, according to Turner, who says that such events are all about visibility.
"You have to get your name out there. People at these shows are trying to exclude rather than include and if they don't see you, that's the easiest way to be excluded," he says. "There is already heavy competition for biotech jobs, and these other states were not pulling any punches" with their displays, he adds.
The lack of a cohesive Maine presence at BIO 2012 and Gov. Paul LePage's recent veto of a $20 million research and development bond are just two challenges Turner must now address from his post as GPEDC's first executive director.
"It's hard to talk about anything more important to economic development than R&D," says Turner. "If you look at what really creates jobs, it's education, and one of the huge outlets of education is to go into R&D. I think if you cut back on that, what you'll do is simply hasten the brain drain. You won't have much real, sustainable economic development without a lot of R&D."
Founded in 2011, GPEDC teams up private, educational and public institutions within Cape Elizabeth, Falmouth, Portland, Scarborough, South Portland and Westbrook to help coordinate planning for business development, retention and expansion.
A seasoned presence in the field, Turner started his career in the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development handling issues around international trade, foreign tourism promotion and foreign direct investment.
Turner made a foray into the private sector, working on international sales and marketing for DuPont before diving back into economic development with the Metro Atlanta Chamber, where he helped to attract foreign companies to the area, including an effort to increase freight traffic through Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
But Turner eventually grew weary of the southeast's concept of economic development, which is centered around "throwing money at companies to induce them to relocate. I call it trolling for smokestacks," he says.
In contrast, Portland has championed what Turner calls the third wave of economic development, a model that identifies and emphasizes an area's strengths "rather than saying 'We're such a miserable place, we'll give you $40 million to relocate here'," says Turner.
He cites biotechnology, health care and advanced manufacturing as obvious strengths in the Greater Portland area, with some less-than-glamorous industries like food processing and fishing rounding out the region's portfolio. "We have an incredible comparative advantage in fishing, and fishing can't really be outsourced, so it's very sustainable," he says.
The oft-cited "quality of life" superlative is another big selling point for the region, but one that must be marketed carefully, says Turner. "Every community says they've got high quality of life -- it's become a hackneyed expression -- but Portland really has it," he says. "If we can get people into Greater Portland and Maine, I think they'll want to stay."
Less than a month into the job, Turner is working hard to make connections with other economic development entities in the area whose support, he says, will be vital to the success of GPEDC.
Turner envisions GPEDC's role as that of a connector, bringing together disparate entities to organize group effort when possible, or referring projects to entities with the funds and capabilities to execute a certain goal. "We're looking at where we fit in. We want to work with entities already doing [economic development] and say 'Here, this might be a good opportunity for you'," he says.
Turner is currently in the process of drafting a list of short-term goals to be implemented over the next six to eight months.
In the long term, Turner looks at global trends like container traffic, predicted to double by 2030, as a potential economic driver for the region. "No matter how much you dredge the southeast, they won't have enough capacity, and they will have to come to other ports," he says.

FANTASTIC MR. FOX...features a score from Academy Award ® nominated and Golden Globe ® winning composer, Alexandre Desplat, and an eclectic range of evocative songs from the Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Art Tatum, Burl Ives, Jarvis Cocker. Cocker co-wrote and performed the track entitled "Petey's Song," especially for the film.
FANTASTIC MR. FOX is visionary director Wes Anderson's first animated film, utilizing classic handmade stop-motion techniques to tell the story of the classic children's book by Roald Dahl (author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach).Peter Travers of Rolling Stone Magazine calls the film "literate stop-motion magic that deserves to be called groundbreaking".
The film features the voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Wally Wolodarsky, Eric Anderson, Michael Gambon, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson, and Jarvis Cocker. The screenplay is by Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach, and the film is produced by Allison Abbate, Scott Rudin, Wes Anderson and Jeremy Dawson.
Mr. and Mrs. Fox (Clooney and Streep) live an idyllic home life with their son Ash (Schwartzman) and visiting young nephew Kristofferson (Eric Anderson). But after twelve years of quiet domesticity, the bucolic existence proves too much for Mr. Fox's wild animal instincts. Soon he slips back into his old ways as a sneaky chicken thief and in doing so, endangers not only his beloved family, but the whole animal community. Trapped underground without enough food to go around, the animals band together to fight against the evil Farmers - Boggis, Bunce and Bean - who are determined to capture the audacious, fantastic Mr. Fox at any cost.

Philadelphia 76ers President and General Manager Billy King announced today that the Sixers have acquired forwards Rodney Rogers and Jamal Mashburn from New Orleans for forward Glenn Robinson.
Burger Flip no more.
That´s good news. Finally it happened. Now wait what will happen to Baron.
Good look for Rice. Sensational.
It was official when I posted it. ESPN is too slow....
YEAH!! I know Byron Scott wasn't real big on Glenn Robinson. HE even said something along the lines that he wasn't interested in Robinson at all earlier in the year. But this is a smart business move. This will put us in FA heaven next year. We will be able to sign anybody...Please let it be Ray Allen.
ronnieone, it was official last night, it's just that the sixers just posted the press release. In fact, the sixers haven't even posted a link to the release yet on their site - yes I'm that good.
Now it would be nice to find out whether GRob is in playing condition or not.
But I wonder, why the Sixers made that deal and didn't just let Robinson come off the books in the summer ...
wwwwwwooooooooooooo hhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooo
Good deal, Robinson is not the best defender in the nba, but is still able to score 20 pts a game...
The first trilogy:
Ep1 : Two Jedi Knights fight the long dormant Celtics who resurface to reclaim their old glory
Ep2 : Epic battle between the best swingman of the galaxy. Glen Rice must face Jordan and Pippen
Ep3 : Former Jedi Eddie Jones is seduced by the dark side of the Force of Emperor Pat Riley
how does phili benefit form this trade?
Originally Posted by CP3Originally Posted by Lebron James
They don't have to pay GRobb the rest of this year, save 80% of the rest of the money owed Mash and are probably looking at free agents for the 06-07 season and want the cap space then.Originally Posted by TheBigEasy
Because they still would not be under the cap, so it would not help them. They get the insurance company to pay most of Mash's contract and get him off the books (or a tradable expiring deal) later.Originally Posted by TheBigEasy
Originally Posted by TheBigEasy
read my thread for why Mash WILL be traded
i guess, it just seems weird that they would want this deal.... i wonder if mash reports?? what do you guys think will happen?
yeah u called it spaniard!
Watch Mashburn's punk arse play now. I don't care anyway. He's not that good even when he plays. He's old, slow and a ball hog who plays no D.
The best part about this trade is that in one trade the Hornets got rid of two of the most loathed players in the history of the franchise!!!
Talk about killing to losers with one stone.
As for Big Dog, I personally hope he doesn't even play. I don't want him taking away minutes from Nachbar.
We already have his separated twin, Nailon, anyway.
Mash won't play, it's just a way for the sixers to save 80% of that money.
do you think we should have kept mash? i mean only paying 20% of his contract, does the owner keep it or what? if so, couldnt it have been used to help build the practice facility? or am i just really cracked out right now because im very tired?
I really don't care how much money Shinn spends. That's his problem not mine. You're tired.Originally Posted by whoah whoah
The practice facility has nothing to do with this trade.
ALRIGHT! Drinks are on me!

Conair 2-in 1 Hot Air Brush 1 1/2"
Arleen K.Chicago, ILHairDark BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairYou Just Need To Learn How To Use It...I've heard and read the bad reviews...especially from people that have seen me use this at the gym. People love the way my hair looks at the end, and how easy and fast it is for me to do it. People are dissappointed when they go out and buy it because it doesn't work for them, the way it does for me. Once I teach them, THEY FALL IN LOVE!. i've been using this dryer/brush for about 10 years? I truly believe they are still in business because of me, my family and friends. I actually keep a second one handy just in case I burn out my first. I LOVE THIS THING!!! I'm thinking about doing a youtube video just to show people how to use it. buy it....contact me...and I'll show you how to. You will not change your mind! :)posted Jan 27, 2012Link to this post
AnnieSouthern CaliforniaWent Through 3 In Six Months!The first two turned on and off depending on which way I was holding the dryer - loose wiring? Who knows. Took them both back to the store and got a third. That worked for two whole months (used about twice a week) before literally falling apart. Found metal screws within plastic mountings, which had snapped off. I had an old Conair brush dryer that lasted for years and years, which is why I bought another Conair, but they must be using ever-cheaper plastic. A shame.posted Jan 7, 2011Link to this post
SandiHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairInferior To Other Conair Products I've Used!I need a hot air styler that I can use on my damp hair. The bristles are nylon like in a hair brush. When the barrel heats up, the bristles are too soft to do any good! Used it once....... I'm taking it back!posted Dec 14, 2010Link to this post
Terry G.HairLight BrownFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairBest InventionThis is the best hair care invention ever!!!! I can't do my hair without it! Don't everstop making it or I will be lost!posted Nov 29, 2010Link to this post
Nancy S.PhilaDon't Waste Your MoneyI bought this the other day and plug it in and it started to burn up so I took it back to the store and exchanged it for a new one. Used it tonight and when I was using I heard something rolling around inside the brush part and here the one side of the brush where the screw was it broke off I only used the product not even 5 minutes and it broke on me. I totally would not recommend this product to any oneposted Oct 10, 2010Link to this post
DonnaBay Area, California.The Cons Of This ConairBought this at my local beauty store for 40 bucks, i had used a con air hot air brushes before but this one was not what i hoped for, the setting are to high, even on low my hair started smoking a lot and i had to use extra product just to keep it from burning my hair. it gets the job done but at what expense? its the only one i have now that my trusty old one broke. I am currently on this site looking for a replacement. so just beware, i think it would work better on thicker coarser hair that requires more heat, i just need something that will smooth and De-frizz my thick curly hair.posted May 20, 2010Link to this post
EllieLove This Air Dryer/stylerI have used this dryer/styler for years. My hair is fine to normal texture and I wear it chin length and it dries very fast. I us my regular dryer to start the drying process and use this product to finish. I am a klutz with a flat iron and curling iron so this is perfect for me.posted Apr 16, 2010Link to this post
Michelle DowlingGreeneville, Tennessee USAGood ProductI have shoulder lenght hair, very thick. Yes I have to use drier to almost completely dry hair, then use the curling/blow drier for the finishing edges. When I use it on the edges to style the hair, my style stays all day. When I use blow dryer and a curling iron, my style falls out quickly. I love the product and would recommend to all my friends.posted Jan 31, 2010Link to this post
CathyUnited StatesDisappointedTook a long time to dry my hair and then died after only using a couple of months. Love the concept but this was not what I expected.posted Jan 11, 2010Link to this post
PattieLooks Like A Great Idea, But....I just have to tell you that I bought this and used it twice and threw it out. I could not return it because I had used it. It looks like a great idea, but the reality is that it took me almost an hour (!) to dry my chin length hair. I really wanted it to work so I wouldn't have to use a brush and a dryer, but it just doesn't have the heat and air power to do the job.posted Dec 17, 2009Link to this post

Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Series: Understanding Evolution: Is There "Junk" in Your Genome?
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment on "junk DNA", we explore how genomics can be employed to test for non-functional sequences by comparing sequences between related organisms.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Signature in the Pseudogenes, Part 1
One interesting feature of looking at genomes is that often we can find the mutated remains of once-functional genes. These are called pseudogenes, or "false genes." Pseudogenes might be part of a shared backstory for two species, or they might crop up independently after two species go their separate ways.
Signature in the Synteny
In some ways, comparing the DNA sequence between related organisms is like reading alternative history novels. The hypothesis of common ancestry between similar organisms makes a very straightforward prediction about their genomes...
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
A Geneticist's Journey
Prior to analyzing her genome, investigators expected to find that either she was a human being like us, or she was a Neanderthal. What they found, however, no one was prepared for. No one!

Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Oxygen and Co-Creation
In the mid-seventeenth century, John Mayow conducted a series of experiments in which he showed that burning candles in bell jars consumed one-fifth of the enclosed air before extinguishing. Remarkably, mice placed in bell jars did exactly the same thing...
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Science, Christianity, and Homeschooling
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Mending the Disconnect
How can it be that two things we love and treasure—two things that are absolutely central to ourselves and the lives we've built—seem so often to be at odds with each other?

Reported the New York Times: The senior American commander in Afghanistan suggested Tuesday that American forces could remain in the country beyond 2014 despite President Obama's pledge to withdraw them by then.

This is Go Ape, the multi-award winning Tree Top forest adventure. Head to one of the 28 UK forest adventures for two to three hours in the trees, taking on Zip Wires, Tarzan Swings, Rope Ladders and a variety of High-Wire Crossings, all set in the UK's most beautiful woodlands. At Go Ape you'll be kitted out with harnesses, pulleys and Karabiners, provided with a detailed safety brief with training and then let loose into the forest canopy to roam free. Life is so much more fun when you're jumping off a tree top platform into a cargo net.
Before you head up onto the course, you'll be given a half-hour safety briefing by one of the qualified instructors. Here, you'll learn and try out the obstacles at low levels, and get to grips with the equipment. It's not complicated, but it's important stuff and it will give you the confidence to enjoy your time in the trees. After your training they won't supervise you. You'll be responsible for yourself and any under 18s that you have signed for whilst on the course. Of course, instructors are always on hand, regularly patrolling the forests (not in monkey suits unfortunately!)
All you have to do is pay for the experience you wish to purchase and we'll send a gift pack to you or directly to the recipient. A voucher and booking information will be included in the pack so you just need to check the info and book your experience.

Test the safety of small toys. Young children put everything in their mouths. If a toy is small enough to fit through the opening in the choke tube tester it's dangerous to children less than three years old. It's a matter of simple safety and a smart way to prevent accidental choking. See Product Details

A must have!

About Me First Time Parent
Comments about Dorel Juvenile Group Choke Tube Tester:
At first I wasn't sure this product was an absolute necessity. I mean, I figured it was obvious to me what my baby should not have access to and what she can choke on, so why would I need something to tell me that bottle caps and pennies are not safe baby toys...right? Well I bought it out of curiosity anyways, and I am actually so glad I did! So I realized how handy this little thing actually is.First, my 10 month old loves to play with it!Second, I used it to test some of my cats toys. The test tube saved me from having to donate almost all of their toys. It was a nice to learn that I did not have to get rid of all of their small toys.Besides that it is just nice to have around in case their is any question about anything being a choking hazard within baby's reach, the choke tube tester is a practical solution. Its a small price to pay for the peace of mind it provides.

Really Handy Reference
By belfrybounce
from Bethel, CT
This is a very handy reference for making sure toys etc are age appropriate. Good to give grandparents and baby proofing play spaces. My baby actually likes to play with it as well so it can go right in the toy basket

Gimmicky for a Parent, Great for a Sib!
By Mommy of Two
from SoCal
About Me Parent of Two or More Children
I remember seeing this thing when my son was born (3.5 years ago) and laughing. It was silly, and any parent will know what is appropriate for a baby to play with.However, now that the 3.5 year old has a baby sister, it suddenly is a useful little tool. He has trains and cars EVERYWHERE in the house, and she is starting to scoot and flip and go after those trains and cars. With the tube, he has been taught to "check" all his toys that are remotely near her, and to keep the ones that are too small (or any with wheels for that part) away from her play area. It's useful because suddenly it puts the size of his toys into perspective. It also helps him understand why he can't share his raisins and cereal with her, because they are "too small".
Works great

About Me First Time Parent, Medical Professional
Solid construction, simple to use, and works as stated. Helps identify those borderline items that you wonder if they really could choke on them. Highly recommend to prevent potential choking hazards.

Great invention!

Perfect for my grandkids!
By Nana of three girls
from St. Louis
About Me Grandparent
I recently purchased several choke tubes for my 5 and 7 year old grand daughters. They now have a new little baby sister and live in a house filled with choking hazards. Barbie shoes and accessories are everywhere along with hundreds of other tiny things. I showed the girls how to check their toys with the choke tube so the baby won't get hurt. They think it is like a game to go around and check all their big girl toys now. At least maybe they will know what is safe and not safe before they let the baby have a toy.

Wonderful tool, but a word of caution
By Mommy of girls
from Mass
I bought one of these when OSA had them before, a year or two ago. I was thrilled to find one then and am glad to see they are carrying them again because they are hard to find. Although I only choose toys labeled as not having choking hazards, if I have any doubt I can now test it myself. However, please keep two things in mind. First, toys approved as safe for under 3 must both not contain choking hazard sized pieces AND not produce them upon normal usage (i.e. must not break into small pieces easily as determined by specific tests). The purpose of this device is Not to disregard toy age recommendations or safety warnings. So just because that toy with a choking hazard warning does not fit in the tube, does not mean you should let your baby/toddler play with it. Second, if you do find a toy mislabeled (toy labeled for under 3 that does contain choking hazard(s), as did a previous reviewer), please, please please, report it to the company AND to the CPSC (simply fill out the form at [@]). Thank you! Finally, this great tool is only[$] I would have paid much more for the peace of mind it provided.
Great Tool
By Mother of 4
from Peoria, IL
I have children ranging from 15 mos to 14 years. This is great. Instead of telling my older children to pick up their small items and ensure they are not around, the babies can choke on them, we can use the tool to see what can and what can not be around the house. It is a great coaching device to help the older children understand the importance of items. Before using this, they felt the item had to be relatively small, but now they realize it is larger than they imagined. Great tool!
A must have
By Holly
from NJ
This item is cheap and can be a lifesaver. I think any parent of a baby needs to have this item. I purchased this choke tube tester because some blocks in a block set my son received seemed small. When I tested the blocks in the tube, I was indeed correct, some of the blocks were too small and it was listed as safe for his age on the box. Thankfully I had this device to test the size and removed all the small blocks, making it safe for him to play with !
Great product!
By Aiden's Mommy
from Hoosier State
This product is great. My little guy likes to play with a lot of his big sister's toys and I am never sure what is too small, but this product lets me know immediately!

Wheel power
Program helps disabled children ride bikes for the first time
Thirteen-year-old Kemani grinned from ear to ear as he successfully experienced the exhilaration of riding a two-wheel bike for the first time at University of Richmond's Weinstein Center on Aug. 16. His smile was provided courtesy of "Lose The Training Wheels," an event sponsored by the Richmond Hope Foundation that opens up a gateway of opportunities for children with disabilities. The room was filled with joyous parents and volunteers witnessing pivotal childhood moments. Thirty-one children participated in the week-long event, which offered them the freedom and confidence that comes with riding a bike. "We had been struggling for years to teach him how to ride a bike," said Kemani's mother, Noire. "It's been amazing – he's riding around, feeling confident, excited every day to come and he's come further than I have in years with him in four days. "What you see now was impossible before. He couldn't get the concept of balance. But the bike itself trains them and lets them know that they have a part in that but allows them to brake themselves. There's no pressure. They see the other children, and it's very motivating. Everyone here is so caring and loving and patient." Lose the Training Wheels is a non-profit organization that teaches children with disabilities how to ride a conventional two-wheeled bicycle and become independent riders for life. The program travels across the country coordinating camps in different cities and offers 75-minute sessions. Its success is linked to adaptive bicycles, created by Dr. Richard Klein, that have rollers instead of a back wheel. When the children first arrive, many have fear and anxiety about riding a bike. But the roller allows them to be successful from the beginning, instilling confidence immediately. As the children get more comfortable and their speed and balance improve, the rollers are changed to more tapered rollers, which require more balance and offer a little less stability each time. Most people are familiar with riding a bike, but for those with disabilities it can be a frustrating task that seems nearly impossible. The success rate of Lose the Training Wheels is high: about 90 percent of children that participate in the program master bike riding skills in less than a week. The feeling of achievement helps them gain assurance, independence, social skills and a positive outlook while riding without wheels and experiencing the thrill. During the week-long event, participants are paired with one or two volunteers – typically teens – who stay with them throughout the program. In a short period of time, a bond is formed and the relationship between the rider and volunteer is a sincere friendship that seems to motivate the kids to do better. Andrea Patrick, 24, is an employee of Lose the Training Wheels and has been working with the program for three years. "This is honestly the most amazing thing I have ever been a part of," Patrick said. "We meet people for a week and see their lives change. They learn to ride a bike, they gain confidence, they get to be included with peers and families going on bike rides, increase in their self-esteem, and they're proud of themselves. It's a really neat thing to see the effect on the participants and the families and how proud they are of them. It's neat to see how many people it affects positively." Richmond Hope Foundation raised the funds to bring Lose the Training Wheels to the Metro Richmond community for the fourth year in a row. RHF's goal is to sponsor children for life-changing physical therapy services that enrich each child's life, while helping their families by providing financial assistance to those in need. At the beginning of the week, the children bring in their bikes and a tech fits each one to the child. On the last day of the camp, each child "graduates" by riding a bike without training wheels for the first time. A family member accompanies each rider, and each participant receives a medal, a t-shirt and a picture of himself or herself on two wheels. Cindy Sharp, director of development for RHF, was excited to bring the program back. "Sometimes there's not much offered to the special needs community in terms of recreation," Sharp said. "But this gives them self-esteem and it transcends to all aspects of their daily life, as well as health issues, cardio, building up muscles and being able to have control themselves. It has been very well received. If you see them on Monday and then on Friday, it's amazing." |
