Newly established Australian online magazine, On The Streets Of Sydney, features model Zach Vickers in their first editorial rightfully titled "Somewhere, Sydney". Dressed in some simple yet noteworthy denim looks and filled with a melancholy angst that makes us think of Sofia Coppola's Somewhere, this editorial makes us wish we were pool-side right about now. We're loving the drama of sheer top layered over the studded denim shirt, and without a doubt the long denim tail shirt adds to our longing to be lounging about with nothing but our swimsuits on under. Starving for Summer yet? We are too! Meanwhile, editorials like this one will have to do.
For more of the editorial go here.

To start, I will take a bit of advice from the policies of the Obama administration, which follows a general directive from the President offering the guidance, "that the perfect should not be the enemy of the good." So with that said, please remember my criticisms are not of the positive step that the actualization of this park is, but of the understanding of the malleable aspects of urban places and the desire for eventual improvement via direct identification of the potential flaws.
Main Street Garden's greatest strength is its very existence. The amount of effort against many odds is a tremendous acheivement in itself, especially when you realize that certain people wanted to put a parking garage below it. 1) downtown has TOO much parking and if you don't realize that, unfortunately, you shouldn't be making decisions regarding any downtown anywhere. 2) LA tried to put parking under Pershing Square and the curb cuts and ramping system off the entrances doomed the park in the same manner that AT&T plaza originally failed because of the bus shelters in front of it until its recent redesign. These elements created visual AND physical barriers. Cities are creations of interconnected webs creating positive synergistic effects. This is why a poorly constructed or rundown building in downtown is still more valuable per square foot than newer or better buildings that lack a synergistic "quilt."
As a bit of a history lesson, the Mercantile building sat empty for about fifteen years and the firm I used to work for (and the colleagues that in some cases still work with) had looked at this building and this portion of the city many, many times for various developers, all of which saw the iconic potential in redeveloping the "Merc." For various reasons all of these plans fell through, however the strongest idea remained.
An urban designer and landscape architect named Paul Shaw recognized the handsome buildings of this area forming a square around what was essentially rundown one and two-story junk. These buildings were the Merc, Titche-Goettinger aka 1900 Elm and the Indigo Hotel, the Statler Hilton, and the stately Old City Hall. Part of his redevelopment plan was addition by subtraction, revealing the historic architecture by removing the junk and creating a public square for each of these buildings to frame.
The moment these buildings were scraped you could see how important this decision was, it looked like a great park when it was nothing but dirt. However, I recommend the addition by subtraction method of urban design VERY rarely. Dallas has already done too much "urban dentistry," having pulled a few too many of its own teeth out sans anesthesia.
I came along after this particular plan for the park was created (which at the time was named Commerce Gardens - The name change is the one improvement.), but when Forest City came calling I put together the original presentation to sell them on the massive redevelopment before we were shown the door for the exorbitant international corporate firm fees.
When Forest City was given development rights, part of their
While it is great to have a new and substantial green space in Downtown Dallas, that attempts to do something more than mask a freeway, unfortunately it's primary strength is simply that it is a park. However, the design of the park's greatest weakness, which is debatable as I'll get into, is that it is trying too hard. It is over-programmed, which is something that I, and every single person that I've talked to have commented. It looks as if somebody went on a supermarket sweep shopping spree through landscape architecture magazine, replete with a bizarrely placed, Martha Schwartz-y earthen mound (which I'll also discuss in a bit).
I want to first discuss some of the general issues before showing and discussing some of the more trivial design details which may or may not exist in twenty years as we adapt the park to better suit our needs.
Frankly and foremost, it has too much stuff in it. The best program of any urban public space is the people; letting people define how it can best put to use for their own needs. Many of the best urban squares and plazas in the world are actually quite barren, until they are full of people. This is why so many roman piazzas have become parking lots and why many of the piazzas turned parking lots have reverted seamlessly back to piazzas.
I find the root of such over-programming or over-designing stems from a self-conscious lack of confidence, from the designers or the city officials which are largely indicative of the collective feeling of the community they represent. It's a natural tendency. The fear is noone will use it, so the design and in turn, the park, end up with a cafe, a dog park, a hill?, child's play area, a fountain, a metal wire xmas tree (?!), doilies, doodads, and follies that will probably end up in a scrap heap or reused in a private garden someday.
Lesson: show some restraint. It's a park in a downtown of none.
As for some of the more worrisome elements of the park, these actually have less to do with what is inside the park itself (although that is not completely off the hook), but with its immediate adjacencies and connections.
As I've discussed many times, cities that work are a collection of many things, each contributing in the creation of a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. This comes from the interface between buildings, uses, and conduits aka streets typically. When this machine that is "space" is orchestrated properly (purposefully or accidentally) it generates an energy, which induces what I call "urban magnetism." Notice the best places in the world can draw more people to them than it can physically support in terms of full-time residents.
Both building design and conduit or street design is critical in the creation of magnetic spaces, because if either is overly flawed they can each become barriers diminishing the multiplier effect of the regularities of urbanity. In the case of Main Street Garden, it unfortunately, has one terrible street, two bad streets, and one good street forming its boundary. Commerce would be the terrible street, with its five one-way lanes offering a quick escape. Yay for congestion relief!
My specific worry about the park, is that the interrelation between the adjacent buildings and streets to the park is only a visual one rather than also being a physical one. To improve this park, down the road, we will need to scale down each of the bad roads currently enveloping it by ensuring wide sidewalks protected by street trees and on-street parking as well as eventually converting the one-ways to two-way. Furthermore, I would specifically recommend that Harwood be bricked between Old City Hall and the park to create a "plaza" like feel and a physical connection between at least one of the buildings and the park. This would maintain bollards defining the traffic flow between building and park which could be shut down during special events.
As for the park itself, along the wide or north south sides of the square, I feel like the planting, the terracing, and the fencing create unnecessary buffering effect as well. I know the streets are bad, particularly commerce, but perhaps we shouldn't be so afraid of them to completely turn our back on them. This isn't the creation of Central Park at the height of industrialism and tenement housing. We're not trying to completely escape the city, nor create a central "lung." A good urban square should remind us what is so great about cities, about urban living. It must be welcoming and inviting on all sides. At the end of this post, we'll look at a similarly scaled park that redesigned itself to become one of the great urban squares in the country, if not the world.
Before getting to the photos and the details, I want to get one more petty, aesthetic difference off of my chest. Once in a while, can we please refrain from the arbitrary plan view geometries? Peter Walker does his concentric circles, as with the next downtown Dallas urban square Hargreaves does his faux alluvial patterns (even though there is no water), Martha Schwarz does her psychodelia, in Main Street Gardens we get very sharp angles, which could be fine, except for two things.
First, most of the great parks of this scale in the world have some symmetry to them. In the world of urban design, it is ok to copy. It's called empiricism and using what works, which has been proven through the ultimate of tests, time. Being different for the sake of being different is the sometimes scourge of both architects and landscape architects, as Bill Hillier writes, "sometimes with experimentation, you can be wrong." In this case, humans prefer order, symmetry. I'm all for some crazy shapes and experimentations in design occasionally, but those are best suited within the context of urban art. This is a public square. Design for the public, rather than littering the world with your own self-referential aesthetic. Very baby-boomerish.
Second, a lack of symmetry or the arbitrary selection of angles and axes can lead to oddball pieces and a general lack of cohesion. I'm sensing this is partially why the overall park feels disjointed, lacks cohesions, and is overprogrammed. As you'll see with the comparison at the end, a similarly sized park has a good deal of programmed elements but one finds them within the imposed order and hierarchy created by the formality. Taking a conventional hierarchy and arbitrarily skewing the angles is post-modern which is why Main Street Gardens feels cluttered. We left the 90s ten years ago along with our oversized blazers, shoulder pads, awful sweaters, flannel shirts, ripped jeans, doc martins and birkenstocks along with post-modernism behind. Now is the time for something more hopeful, more optimistic, more purposeful.
Sorry for the personal side trip into the world of pet peaves. On to the imagery and details:
Excuse the low quality. This is iphone imagery.
Okay. First of all, you might get a sense of the clutter here. And perhaps, the nature of child play areas and their acid-tripped designers lends to that. But, does the cafe area have to look like an abstract alien from War of the Worlds eviscerating all those who dare dine beneath it? What is with the thirty plastic support columns? This looks like it is from the scrap heap of rough drawings of patio furniture.
The earthen mound. Or as we like to call them in Dallas, Grassy knolls. Or it might be if the sod carpeted around it would ever take root. But it won't because the slope is too great as with Martha Schwartz's plaza in Minneapolis, which have never really grown grass well, and are, well...dirt mounds. But piles of dirt are fun for kids to roll around on, and we saw this in Landscape Architecture magazine, so let's throw one of them in here, even though it is completely contrived and arbitrary and has nothing to do with glacial formations.
My favorite part. These green things, which I suppose are to keep parents dry while they force their kids to play in the rain and roll around on the mud hill. Only problem is these things don't cover the benches they are above, nor will the cast shade during the summer sun. oopsie. Play you stupid kids, PLAY! Or I'll lock you in the refrigerator again to give me some peace and quiet!
From inside the dog park. I don't care for the metal benches of choice, especially when we see some of the other benches in the park. Also, you get some disconnect between Commerce and the park in this image via elevation and fencing. Is a dog park really needed here? I've used it, but I can also easily go to the much larger one under the freeway where, like all dog areas in the City, never have any baggies.
Fountain. Fine.
I love the hardwood benches and patio as well as the crushed gravel walk.
I'm all for follies in a park, but these? I have a hard time seeing people find usefulness in these.
Your guess is as good as mine, but somebody sure is proud of that banding, I'm sure.
Two things. This sign has no place in the park. First, it is hideous. Second, do we really need a giant blinking sign stating "park" while looking like it is advertising a parking garage? Was the grass and trees not a hint to us mongoloids?
This is what I mean by the sharp angles and skewed lines. We get leftover pieces like this. What to do with it? Uh, I dunno boss, let's throw some stupid plants in and a big ol' blinky sign to distract'em with the bright lights and all.
Now as for comparison, I present Bryant Park. Yes, it has the advantage of being in NYC. But, not more than fifteen years ago it was considered an abject failure, a haven for crime and drugs. Now, it is elegant. It has order. It is maintained. I recommend this site at Project for Public Spaces for more info. The key passage:
Bryant Park was rebuilt in 1934 under the direction of Robert Moses, Commissioner of the New York City Parks Department. Because of the stacks of the library located beneath it, The park was raised above the surrounding busy streets and conceived of as an "urban sanctuary." However, this design created isolation - and invited crime. The park grew to become a haven for drug dealing and other negative activities. After analysis by urbanologist William H. Whyte and Project for Public Spaces in 1981 - their report was titled Intimidation or Recreation - a plan for Bryant Park's reconstruction was developed. It addressed issues such as opening the park's constricted entrances and removing hedges along its perimeter so that people could more easily view the interior from the sidewalk...
Another of Paul's ideas is to project movies on the giant blank facade of the UNT building facing Main Street Garden.
Sometimes all a park needs to be is some green and a few chairs.

By Sandra Harwitt, special to USTA.com
LONDON – When the first boys' singles final between two Americans to take place at Wimbledon since 1977 ended, there was one champion, Noah Rubin, and one runner-up, Stefan Kozlov.
But while the two of them wore their game faces during the match, urging themselves on with "C'mon's" and fist pumps, after Rubin laid claim to the title with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 victory, the good friends presented a united front of country pride.
"Stefan brought the flag," said Rubin, who then invited Kozlov to join him on the traditional victory lap around the court, with each one of them holding one end of the stars-and-stripes.
"He said, 'I have a flag, I have a flag. I was like, 'Dig it out,'" said Rubin. "It's been a long time since an all-American final, so might as well support it. At the end, when we were holding that American flag, I was like, 'This is pretty special.' Hopefully we'll keep rising together and none of us will fall off, and just we'll as a group get to the top and show the results America wants."
Indeed, it was a momentous occasion. After all, neither the 18-year-old Rubin nor 16-year-old Kozlov were even close to being born when Van Winitsky defeated fellow American Eliot Teltscher for the Wimbledon junior boys' title 37 years ago.
It was also a tough result for Kozlov, who lost in the Australian Open junior boys' final earlier in the year. It must be said, however, that Kozlov showed great maturity afterward.
"That was actually easy," Kozlov said of taking out the flag his father had given him that morning. "I don't know why it was easy, but everything else was pretty tough. I didn't want to think about it for those 15 minutes. I was just going to praise the guy – I'm happy for him."
What Kozlov meant about everything else being difficult was that later in the day he teamed with Andrey Rublev of Russia as the top seeds in the boys' doubles. That outcome also didn't go in Kozlov's favor, as he and his partner lost to third seeds Orlando Luz and Marcelo Zormann of Brazil 6-4, 3-6, 8-6.
Besides for sharing a patriotic stance, Rubin and Kozlov, often are roommates on the road, were both in awe to find a crowded stadium of fans awaiting their match. The 11,000-seat capacity Court 1, which was about three-quarters filled, wasn't a free pass for spectators either – watching the junior finals came with a steep price tag of 28 British pounds, which translates to approximately $50 per seat.
"Really, people paid to watch me? Interesting," said Rubin, smiling. "I didn't expect it to be that packed. I actually thought nobody was going to come out to the match, but that was not the case. They were all very enthusiastic to be out there. Just the atmosphere was unbelievable."
The fact that Rubin even played in this Wimbledon junior event, not to mention win it, would've been unexpected just a few months ago. When he left the 2013 US Open Junior Championships, the teen had declared his days in the juniors were over. He was moving on to the lower-level Future tournaments, although he would remain an amateur so he was still eligible to play college tennis in the fall.
The key moment in Sunday's match came midway through the decisive third set. On serve at 3-2 for Kozlov in the third, Rubin won the final four games to be permanently etched into Wimbledon history.
"I kind of choked at 3-all in the third and gave away a service game I should have won and that was it, then the match was over," Kozlov said. "It was 100 percent me, I was 15-40, played two good points and then played carelessly."
Rubin's road to victory did not come easily here in London.
He lacked the proper junior credentials – his ranking wasn't high enough. And he didn't have the proper ATP credentials – his ranking was lower than the 550 needed to be straight into the junior main draw.
So Rubin rolled into England early and played the qualifying event to earn his spot in the main draw. There was no doubt that playing eight matches in a row – six in the main draw and two in the qualifying – had taken its toll as Rubin stood outside the press area bending and massaging his cramping legs before heading in to talk to the media as a Wimbledon champion.
In truth, Rubin hasn't had great results until this Wimbledon at the Grand Slams. He never made the trip Down Under to the Australian Open, and his best other outing was reaching the 2012 French Open quarterfinals. But this year, on the grass, it just clicked for the Long Island native.
"You know, I didn't expect much coming into these tournaments," said Rubin, who also played the qualifying and made it to the second round at the recent French Open. "Just wanted to get out here and enjoy myself. [I] haven't had the greatest results in the past, as people know."
As he left Wimbledon, he knew he'd not be back as a junior again – he would be too old. But he was already thinking ahead to the future, saying, "I'll always remember this time. Hopefully [I'll] be back [playing] in the seniors shortly."

Spanish Garlic Shrimp on Skewers
Summery Seafood GrillingSpanish Garlic Shrimp on Skewers is an ideal recipe for a summertime fiesta—a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Our tantalizing shrimp and garlic recipe sandwiches scrumptious seafood with red bell peppers for a party delight. Grill up this Spanish Garlic Shrimp as an appetizer or main course and watch the neighbors flock to your backyard.
Serves 4
Prep time: 20 min.
Total time: 25 min., plus marinating time
2 tbsp. GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp. GOYA® Adobo with Pepper
1 tsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic or 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Ľ tsp. GOYA® Crushed Red Pepper
1 lb. jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 16 pieces)
1 large green and/or red bell pepper, cut in 1" pieces
1 lemon, cut into 8 slices
4 skewers
|In zip-top plastic bag, or plastic container with a lid, mix together oil, Adobo, garlic and pepper flakes. Add shrimp, tossing to combine; transfer to refrigerator. Chill shrimp at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes.
|Remove shrimp from marinade; reserve any remaining liquid. Alternately thread peppers, shrimp and lemons on skewers, so that each skewer starts and ends with peppers and contains 4 shrimp pieces. Using pastry brush, brush reserved marinade onto shrimp and vegetables.
|Prepare grill to medium-high heat, or heat a heavy-bottomed grill pan over medium-high heat. Place shrimp on hot surface and cook until shrimp turn pink and opaque, flipping once, 3 – 5 minutes.
Keep Shrimp Stable on the Skewer
If your shrimp slip or spin around the skewer when you try to flip them on the grill, the result could be an unevenly-cooked crustacean and unnecessary frustration. Next time, make sure the shrimp stay put by using two skewers: Simply thread the shrimp with the first skewer and align second alongside to form two parallel lines. Then, grill with ease.

So the Party Like Us Records guys have made their decision. The winner of the GDD™ 'Stumble' Remix Competition is Detroit native/LA resident, Rob Darke. Rob actually just recently got into EDM in the past couple years, saying that he really got into it after using it as a sleep deterrent while writing essays in college, but since his first few dance music experiences, he knew musical production was something he wanted to do. With the help and guidance of his brother Brian, Rob Darke has quickly become keen to the ways of making a solid electronic track, and with influences such as Canblaster, Wolfgang Gartner, and Tony Senghore, it's safe to say that a bright future lies ahead for this up and comer. Here's what Udachi had to say about the winning remix:
"I think Rob Darke's remix is a good example of a nice solid tune, nothing overdone, just straight good. The vocal on the original is tricky because it starts a quarter note late from the 1, and I think it threw a lot of people off. But Rob Darke's remix makes sense musically and has his own personal flair. The mix is nice and clean, and I love the big build into the 4×4 tease into the soca snare bit. I can hear this in a variety of DJ's crates; from sunrise sets, to setting the pace for the night. Real classy and gleamin'!"

If the Shoe Fits
"I ordered this shoe in an 8 (my normal size). It seemed like it would be very comfortable if only it fit but it was a little too short for my foot. I returned them to the store and the sales person was very helpful. She ordered me an 8.5 to be shipped to my home (they didn't carry the shoe). It was too long. The arch support didn't line up well so if this fits your foot right it should be comfortable. I guess it just wasn't meant for my foot."

Plans move forward for new building
Green River has long been in need of a new community center. The old community center practically fell down around the occupants as they tried to keep the old building in as good of shape as possible over the years and provide quality activities for the youth of Green River.
Since the demise of the old building, the center has been utilizing the old senior citizen building which belonged to Emery County. Emery County donated the building for use by the community center as they work towards construction of a new building.
Final plans for a new community center building are being finalized and excitement is growing for adding this state of the art facility to Green River City designed by renowned architect Marlon Blackwell. It will be built where the old center was located and enhance the Main Street, drawing tourists and townspeople for community events, and more importantly providing education facilities, physical activities, and a place for safety for the young people of Green River.
The building will house a HeadStart classroom, pre-school classroom, areas for art activities, music, sports, and quiet areas for students to get help with their homework. The kitchen will continue to provide Meals On Wheels, a Kids Cafe, and snacks. community events, receptions, banquets, and other needs would also have space available to use.
The building is especially appealing in that it incorporates "green" technology and will be energy efficient (they are seeking LEED Platinum designation). The use of these techniques will reduce the cost of maintenance and be an example to other cities in Utah.
A mock-up model and drawings are available for the public to see at the Center on 125 South Long Street in Green River.
Finding funding for the building is the main pursuit currently and there are many sources that are being looked into. One fundraiser in the near future is the annual golf tournament being held on Oct. 10 at the Green River Golf Course. Businesses in Green River and surrounding cities are being asked to contribute sponsorship donations and money or prizes to help make the tournament a success. Contact Joni Pace at 435-564-8199 to find out more information on how you can help.

Virgin Blue To Launch Jet Service To Ballina - Byron Bay Special $69* Launch Fare For Flights To Popular Paradise11/02/2004
Airline Calls On Canberra To Protect Regional Jet Services
Canberra - Virgin Blue has announced it will land its modern red jets at Ballina Byron Gateway Airport from August 5 bringing low fares, great service and true competition to the popular Far North Coast region.
Speaking before a 'Friends of Tourism' Members and Senators lunch in Parliament House today, Virgin Blue Head of Strategy and Communications, David Huttner said "We've been focussing on the Ballina-Byron Bay region as a potential jet destination for some time as it is much more convenient, not just for Ballina and Byron Bay but also for other communities in the region such as Casino and Lismore."
A special launch fare offer of $69* one-way on the net from Sydney is now up for grabs for flights booked between today and February 22 for travel between 5 August and 15 September 2004.
The airline is enthusiastic about introducing the only jet service to passengers using the Ballina Byron Gateway Airport and will be offering low fare convenient connections to and from southern capitals and New Zealand, opening the door for domestic and international tourism.
David Huttner said, "We have always maintained that regional destinations deserve a jet service and that people prefer to fly on a larger aircraft and that has proven true in all the regional centres we fly to. We are confident the people of northern NSW will enjoy the benefits of a more efficient and comfortable flight as much as their counterparts in regional destinations around the country."
David Huttner also called on the government to take steps to ensure that the low fare jet services to regional centres do not become untenable due to unregulated airport charges at the hubs and the increasing burden of security costs that are meant to protect all Australians and not just air passengers.
He noted that many Virgin Blue Guests flying into the Gold Coast were really fanning out across northern NSW.
"We revolutionised air transport for communities from Launceston to Proserpine and we have found that the people of these regional centres have supported the airline that backed them with comfortable and affordable jet flights."
Presently, Qantas fares between Ballina and Sydney start from $152 one-way on the net and require passengers to fly on a small turbo prop aircraft. Virgin Blue's new faster jets will offer more comfort but also shave the flying time by almost half an hour.
Virgin Blue's Mid-Week Mini-Fares will start from $79* one-way on the net, with a Fully Flexible Virgin Blue fare of $229* one-way, 35% cheaper than the Qantas fare.
The Ballina Byron Gateway Airport offers passengers easy access to surrounding communities with Byron Bay and Lismore an easy drive of less than 30 minutes.
Virgin Group Chairman Sir Richard Branson, back at work in London after his recent surfing holiday at Byron Bay said, "Virgin Blue beginning flights to this region is absolutely brilliant news. I had such a fantastic break in Byron. I definitely plan on returning and now many others will be able to do the same."
"When I was there, so many people asked me why they should be forced to drive north to the state border to fly south to Sydney at affordable prices. But our team didn't even tell me about this planned announcement until after I left as they weren't sure I would be able to keep such great news a secret."
Pg 1 of 2
Ballina will be Virgin Blue's 21st Australian destination and the service will operate daily giving Guests a reliable and convenient schedule.
The low fare carrier will operate a daily service with the flight departing Sydney at 11.35am, landing at Ballina Byron Bay Gateway Airport at 12.45pm before turning around and departing Ballina at 1.15pm, touching down at Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport at 2.30pm.
The airline will add over 140 seats each way each day on this route offering a larger, quieter and more comfortable aircraft that flies higher and faster than the turbo prop aircraft offered to regional travellers until now.
David Huttner continued, "It's not about pinching passengers from other airlines, it's about making flying within reach of those people who would normally drive, catch a train or bus or just stay at home."
"We are very keen to give the competition a serious run for its money. People know which airline has been about low fares since day one and we are certain these flights will prove a boost to travellers, including International tourists connecting from our recently launched flights from Christchurch in New Zealand", he finished.
For tens of thousands of Far North Coast locals, it means they will no longer have to travel to Coolangatta to enjoy Virgin Blue's low fares, instead flying direct to Sydney and connecting onwards be it for business, shopping or to catch up with family or friends.
Virgin Blue is hopeful that business travellers and commuters will also find its sleek, modern Boeing 737–700 jets with 144 leather seats a comfortable and efficient alternative to the existing turbo prop aircraft currently operating on the Ballina-Sydney route.
Convenient connections will be available from Ballina Byron Bay Gateway Airport to other Virgin Blue destinations including Adelaide, Cairns, Melbourne as well as one of the newest destinations, Christchurch in New Zealand.
Furthermore, the arrival of Virgin Blue will also mean additional jobs at the airport as well as a boost to tourism with the anticipated rise in the number of visitors. Past trends have shown a significant increase in tourist numbers following the introduction of Virgin Blue flights in new ports emphasising the low fare carrier's strategy of stimulating the market and enticing people to travel by offering affordable fares.
* All fares are for flights booked on the Internet. $10 more by phone. The $69 launch fare offer is on sale from today until 22 February 2004 and flights are for travel from August 5 to September 15 2004. Mid-Week Mini-Fares are for travel on Tuesday and Wednesdays. Fares are subject to availability and may not be available on all flights or peak days.

I love how light this shoe is!
"This shoe is so light, and it has great arch support!My only critique is that it seems like the shoelaces are on the shorter side, which means I really need to double-knot them to keep them from coming undone while I'm out running."

it's been forever but i think ima give it another read.
Also CHAPTER 220 marks the end of the full circle, yes at the end of chapter 220 we finally reach to the beginning of this story.
I have checked a bit of the future chapters and so:
Jin doesn't seem to go on a killing spree, but Alfash... damn he even attempts to kill his mother, little sister and even a baby :O.

Rob carried out a major service on my car. He was very thorough and did anot great job. He advised me on what needed doing. Very happy with the service he provided. thank you very much.
The brake pads did not need replacing despite being told by another garage that they were 90% worn. They were in fact only 50% worn! I would highly recommend Rayments mobile garage.
Fast and efficient service. Rob is friendly and his work is value for money!
Excellent service. He was on time. 100% professional. Don't hesitate to call him.
brilliant service genuine advice 5*****
Excellent service did what they said they would do in the time frame i requested courteous and professional, Would recommend them to anyone
Good customer service and quick repair and understanding guys
Job completed quickly and at the price quoted. All the staff were polite and I'd have no issues recommending them
Sorry for late review. These guys repaired my roof on my SAAb convertable the next day.Other Garage's quoted £600+.Leelac took only couple of hours to repair.I would recommend for all SAAb repairs.They saved me a lot of money.Thx guys
Unfortunately it wasn't a pipe but the fuel pump that needed doing and these guys were great! Jaime and the others were spot on in getting the part in and fitted within a day of diagnosing the fault and at a fantastic price! Would definitely use these guys again and can't recommend highly enough
excellent service, problem solved, very experienced guy(Everton) came to fix it. Will use it again. best
Highly recomended, friedly and did a great job!
Very fast and efficient service. Excellent customer service. Fixed other issues with the car apart from the initial problem at a very reasonable price. Even offered to have my car delivered to me at home. Will definitely recommend this garage over and over.
Fast and friendly service
Good job, smooth, everything went well
Price was good, got MOT done there as well
Job completed. Many thanks.
Had an exhaust (middle section) renewed. Rob & Sam were really great, even picked up and delivered for free. Job done on time in one day, exact same price as quoted, no "and we found something else" like you get from some garages. New parts used and all works fine. Will be using again.
Great service, very friendly, professional and quick to responses
Right, first and most important factor is the price. Truly we all look for a good price and l am glad to say my wallet was not left with a permanent scar. Service was excellent, of good standard and truly according to their attraction promotional focus of `quick quality services`. The place, a neat workshop with a customer friendly waiting area designed to psychologically reduce waiting times. A free coffee machine and a few chewable things did the trick. One criticism: its rather one that can not be amended easily but l noticed the customer main entrance had a Disabled Access button. A rather nice inclusive design feature. Unfortunately right before the door, there are a set of stairs. This did not affect me personally but the lady with a push chair facially expressed her disappointment after false hope from that automatic door opened and then she realised she had to negotiate down the stairs. Overall, Excellent.
Very helpful
Great friendly service and great prices, very pleased : )
IN'n'OUT are simply best. They did a wonderful job, I am very pleased as they charged me what they quoted no hidden charges which is very rare, especially in this industry. I will definitely come next time for my car MOT and services. I will recommend them to all my friends and family. With Regards Anwar
Great garage, quick response to communications, honoured price quoted and most importantly, did a great job on my air con which was not working and is now great. Thank you In'n'Out.
Very quick well done job polite and welcoming. Will definitely recommend. Thanks a million
Friendly staff quick turn around
Excellent freindly service. Thanks very much
So we took the car to this garage as it was the cheapest quote to replace the clutch. We asked for their opinion as we weren't 100% sure it needed replacing. After taking it for a test drive the guy said "it could do with being changed, but it doesn't need to be right now if you don't want too" but as our daughter needed her car for her new job we decided to go ahead to be on the safe side. We received a phone call the next day to say a 'CV' joint had been damaged during removal as it was seized (surely we should have been informed there was an issue before it the work was done) and a new one would cost us an additional £60 (why if they damaged it) plus a labor charge (surely not as you have to put it back on before the wheel goes on) so this whacked the bill up from £320 to £435 we were also told the other CV joint had been cleaned (why is it still rusty?) and a new Bush had been fitted free of charge.... when we got home we have since found the reverse lights dont work, they were fine before it went into the garage. Overall we weren't very impressed but the staff were friendly enough and apart from the reverse lights the car seems fine. All that said unfortunately I wouldn't recommend them to family/friends (it wouldn't let me uncheck the recommend box)
great guys helped me out on the aircon

Pretty in Pink!
"I had to have a bright pink pair of shoes for the gym. I ordered my usual athletic shoe size, 9 but they arrived and were too big. I ordered an 8.5 and they are perfect. These are super-bright and seem to carry me through the meanest crunches since they give me a smile every time I see my feet. Very nice, comfy and well made too. One thing though, are all the laces getting shorter and shorter or is it just me?? Maybe my feet are fatter than I think they are. : ( Note to self, check into feet crunches."

I think that enough readers have joined us since last year that I'm not going to feel badly about this annual reblog of the first post that I wrote for a Canada Day, about my brain AVM and Canada's health care system. I'm proud of our universal health care system, despite its imperfections, and I don't mind repeating that.
I feel very badly feel American friends who haven't been able to afford care that they've needed, or whose insurance limited how much physio they could receive after a stroke like mine. I know that many people really struggle.
I know that people in Canada are struggling as well to get what they need in their health care system, even though they shouldn't have to. Elizabeth McClung opened my eyes to that. I miss you, Beth.
In a perfect world, every patient would get the care that I did. Thanks to dedicated staff in Canada's health care system, I am both a brain AVM *and* a stroke survivor. I'm a very lucky person, to be where I am right now.
My Brain AVM Story
I sometimes feel like I spend a lot of time defending Canada's health care system. I know that it's not perfect. I can tell some stories of some real atrocities that have happened to people I love, in fact.
But it was there for my mother, right from the time that she was diagnosed with cancer to her death. She was treated, as far as we as we could tell, to the best of the doctors' ability, with respect and dignity. We were treated with respect by hospital staff as well.
The medical system has always been there for me as well, in spades. Like I said, I've been very fortunate.
I had my first stroke in the middle of a job interview in British Columbia. I was twenty-two at the time. I was rocking that interview. They wanted a coordinator for a symposium on youth violence, and I could tell that they liked me (I ended up getting the job, actually).
But it was not to be, because in the middle of the interview I got an incredible headache that came on like a train – fast and forceful. "So this is a migraine," I thought, faltering over my words. I had to stop and explain what was happening. Someone on the interviewing panel gave me some Tylenol, and I managed to finish the interview, but at the end of it they wouldn't let me go until I'd promised to go to straight to the doctor.
I didn't protest. I could feel my neck getting stiff. "So this is meningitis," I thought.
I'd only been in British Columbia for a couple of months. I'd just put my application for BC health insurance in the mail that morning. I walked into the town health clinic, put my Ontario health card down in front of a receptionist who didn't know me from Adam, and said, "I think I have meningitis."
Five minutes later, I was in a doctor's office.
Five hours later, after an ambulance ride to the nearest city, I was checked into the nearest hospital. I'd had a CT scan and a lumbar puncture and I was scheduled to be transferred to a larger, more specialized hospital in the morning.
Five days later, I'd had an angiogram and I'd had been diagnosed with a brain arteriovenous malformation, or brain AVM (check the Glossary on the About Me page for definitions of unfamiliar terms). A consult had been set up for me in a brain AVM clinic in a Toronto hospital, and I was cleared to fly home to Ontario.
Five months later, I'd been seen in the brain AVM clinic in Toronto Western Hospital twice. The doctors had decided on a course of treatment based on another angiogram: embolization to reduce the size of the brain AVM, and then a craniotomy. The surgery hadn't gone as well as they'd hoped: A small segment of brain AVM could not be treated. Later, I had a stroke that significantly compromised my left side. My treatment team was arranging in-patient rehabilitation at Penetanguishene General Hospital, a facility closer to home, so that my father wouldn't have to do so much driving. They were just waiting for seizures to stabilize before they sent me.
The rehabilitation hospital kept me for as long as they could, and then sent me to Ottawa Rehabilitation Centre, which kept me for as long as they could. My in-patient rehab was seven months in total.
When It All Comes Down to Money
There's a chance that I wouldn't be here if the medical system hadn't been here to support me the way it had. My family would not have been able to afford my brain AVM surgeries, let alone my aftercare and rehabilitation, if we'd lived in country without universal health care. As I said, the system isn't perfect…and I really feel for people that have had a bad outcome because they've been put on a waiting list or because they've had to sit in an ER too long. That absolutely shouldn't happen.
But I can't imagine living in a country where people sometimes go without treatments that they need simply because they can't afford it.
It makes me grateful to be Canadian…and proud.

Dr. Michael Tymianski did my craniotomy.

The five worst, and best, contracts on the Leafs
Cam Charron
September 03 2012 10:48AM
I wrote a post over at Canucks Army last week that looked at the Canucks' best and worst contracts, the idea being that when the salary cap is rolled back at the start of next hockey season, whenever that is, we can pick and choose which players ought to stay and ought to go if there's an amnesty period.
Thankfully, I can do all your thinking for you here at the Leafs Nation. The Leafs have a little under $63M committed in salary cap payroll for the 2012-13 season, and the belief is that the cap should be dragged down to the high 50s, low 60s for the next few years.
Which contracts are a priority to be shipped out?
Fifth worst: James van Riemsdyk in Year 1 of a 6-year, $25.5M deal
I'm slotting van Riemsdyk on this list purely because we have no idea what to expect of van Riemsdyk going forward. His role is murky, his talent level is murky, but the good news is that the Leafs traded away probably their second worst contract for the fifth worst, so they come out ahead.
van Riemsdyk is under contract until 2018 and has yet to play a game under this deal. He has a no-trade clause, according to his cap geek page, and with less salary flexibility come the next collective bargaining agreement, this is one that could really start to pester the Leafs come years three and four onward in the deal.
Fifth best: James Reimer in Year 2 of a 3-year, $5.4M deal
Convinced that James Reimer still has value as a starting goaltender, I'm giving him more credit than a few members of the Barilkosphere. His second-year regression to the mean was a nightmare, along with his concussion, but he ought to bounce back and be a serviceable, above-average-at-even-strength goaltender in the two years ahead.
If the Leafs can get a legitimately above-average goalie for two years well below the expected price of one on the open market, this is a big win for Brian Burke. You almost want Reimer to work out just because it shows that the Leafs know how to develop a goalie in house and for cheap rather than buying an unproven commodity on the free-agent wire.
Fourth worst: Matthew Lombardi in Year 3 of a 3-year, $10.5M deal
In another lifetime, Matthew Lombardi was a speedy penalty killer with 10+ goal ability. Unfortunately, he has been hurt due to concussions and his contract was purchased last season by the Leafs in exchange for letting them dump Brett Lebda for Cody Franson.
This deal would have worked out if Lombardi could just be stuck on LTIR, but unfortunately he had to get healthy. He can still be an effective third liner, but he's simply too expensive to be worth more than a replacement in a salary cap system. Good thing he only has one year left on the deal. Unless the Leafs get Franson into the lineup, it's conceivable they may lose a trade where they got rid of Lebda.
Fourth best: Jake Gardiner in Year 2 of his 3-year ELC
Suffice to say, it's great when you can get effective hockey players on ELC's into the lineup, particularly guys with top-four potential. Gardiner is nowhere near François Beauchemin's calibre just yet, unfortunately, but he has two more years to develop into a two-way threat before he hits a payday.
Third worst: Tim Connolly in Year 2 of a 2-year, $9.5M deal
Connolly just couldn't work out. Sort of the red-headed stepchild of the 2011 free agent class, Burke scooped him up because he didn't want to pay for Brad Richards (and that's probably the smart play, seeing what Richards got). It was a low-risk move, but with just 13 goals on a 12.5% shooting rate last season, the 4th worst Corsi rate on the team and a 45.1% puck-possession rate alongside Phil Kessel, the man he was supposed to pivot for, this is one that didn't work out.
Just a year left on the deal, and Burke could conceivably move him at the next trade deadline for a pick or two.
Third best: Mikhail Grabovski in Year 1 of a 5-year, $27.5M deal
A terrific extension for a player who is one of Toronto's most under-appreciated athletes. The percentage of Blue Jays jerseys I see on the streets with J.P. Arencibia's #9 is a frightening ratio compared to the percentage of Leafs jerseys I see with Grabovski's #84.Toronto fans need to learn better how to pick their favourite athletes.
Grabovski should get 100 goals over the course of this contract, but he also ought to prevent at least 100 more. He's one of the better two-way centres in the league and as we like to mention, no Toronto Maple Leaf was a plus-Corsi player last year without Grabovski also on the ice. That ought to continue as he enters his defensive prime.
Second worst: John-Michael Liles in Year 1 of a 4-year, $16.8M deal
Not a good extension. Pre-concussion Liles was okay, post-concussion Liles was a nightmare. John-Michael Liles had the best zone-adjusted Corsi rate on the team, but he didn't face very good competition. He will be paid too much on a Leafs defence that is five players short of being an average crew. Him and his projected defensive partner weigh down the load that prevents the younger guys, Gardiner, Franson, Korbinian Holzer et. al, from working into the lineup and developing.
Second best: Nikolai Kulemin in Year 1 of a 2-year, $5.6M deal
Here's a fun scenario. How much would Nik Kulemin have got if he put up another 30-goal season coasting on a 17.3% shooting rate? He picked the right year to hit a road block for the Leafs, who could justify paying below market value for a player who is a very good second-liner or a terrific third-liner and should score north of 15 goals in each of the years of this contract.
Worst: Mike Komisarek in Year 4 of a 5-year, $22.5M deal
Clearly. Mike Komisarek should never have been given that deal from Brian Burke, and if the Leafs have any and all chance to clear him out of the lineup, that will be fine and dandy. It's not that Komisarek is a terrible hockey player; for a second-pairing guy, he may be sort of acceptable, but that contract he makes is simply too much for an average second-pairing player.
Worst of all, Leafs fans have seen three seasons from Komisarek, and it's little more than half over. Komisarek was never the mean, physical presence that came as advertised and represents the biggest flop of a decision made by Burke in his tenure.
Best: Phil Kessel in Year 4 of a 5-year, $27M deal
Since coming to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Kessel has scored more goals than all but nine NHLers, and they all make considerably more than $5.4M a year despite not being two-way players, with one notable exception in Corey Perry.
For the scrutiny faced by Burke for trading away good futures for Kessel, Kessel has lived up to his billing in Toronto. If Burke deserves criticism for the trade, Kessel doesn't. 3-straight 30-goal seasons without a playmaking centreman, and uncomplaining in one of the toughest markets in hockey.

I'd slot in Armstrong buyout who is still on the books as one of the top 5 poor contracts. Also an honourable mention is coach Wilson's contract extension.
I agree with both #1's..
But everything get's a little less clear cut
Not sure how two more years of Gardiner on an ELC contract is not #2 on this list.. You could argue that he might even be #1 for how low his cap hit and how much icetime he'll play.
If the same Kulemin show's up has last year, than I would place your best #2 contract as the 2nd worst contract after Komisarek.. cause 2 more years of THAT Kulemin would be painful no matter his contract.
On that similar note, if Pre-concussed JML shows up at the start of the season, the JML contract would be a good signing. JML is the type of veteran defenceman who can quarter back your PP and tutor your younger defenceman, best part is that he only has a $3.9 mill cap hit and he's low maintenance. but on the other hand.. if post concussed JML shows up...

These Couture Pops from Sugar Factory pretty much speak for themselves. And with the likes of Britney Spears, Nicole Scherzinger (who is ready to tie the knot) and Kim Kardashian loving these jewel-encrusted lollis, they wouldnt even have to taste good to sell. But They do. They are delicious!
Absolutely adorable, these miniature sachets are fashionable favors to dress up your event. A popular giveaway at bridal showers and bachelorette parties, these tiny handbags can be tucked anywhere to add a little fragrance.

Southeastern Region Updated Feb. 11
CLEVELAND RESERVOIR WARNING! - The Cleveland-Huntington Irrigation Company is releasing water from Cleveland Reservoir. This has created dangerously unstable ice conditions. The DWR strongly advises all winter recreationalists to stay off this reservoir until the spring thaw.
HUNTINGTON CREEK - Access to the creek continues to be tough due to fresh snow and ice. The creek is frozen in most places.
HUNTINGTON NORTH RESERVOIR Fishing continues to be slow. Ice fishing has been slow much of the winter, even though the reservoir was stocked with 600 rainbow trout brood fish on Sept. 16 and with another 700 half-pound brown trout in November and December.
HUNTINGTON RESERVOIR - (above Cleveland Reservoir) Fishing success continues to be good. Anglers have been using light-colored jigs (white, pearl or light gray), tipped with a night crawler. Tiger trout have ranged between 12-14 inches.
JOES VALLEY RESERVOIR WARNING! - Water is being drawn from the reservoir, making ice conditions dangerous! Anglers are urged to stay off this reservoir until the spring thaw.
MILLSITE RESERVOIR - Conservation Officer Mike Milburn checked the reservoir last weekend and reported fair fishing for 10- to 13-inch rainbow trout.
SCOFIELD RESERVOIR - Fishing success is variable, but has been improving. Dedicated Hunter John Hreinson checked anglers last Saturday and reported good to excellent fishing conditions. Cutthroat and rainbow trout ranged between 12-16 inches. A variety of offerings worked on Saturday. White, green or chartreuse jigs tipped with a night crawler, PowerBait, blue and yellow ice flies, and wax worms all seemed to work. Sgt. Carl Gramlich fished mid-week and indicated that fishing success had slowed down. Carl recommends that anglers be on the ice very early. The catch slowed down after 9:30 a.m. He used white jigs tipped with a worm.

Ireland take their Six Nations campaign to ice-cold Paris on Saturday, aiming to halt a four-game losing streak against France.
Ireland take their Six Nations campaign to ice-cold Paris on Saturday, aiming to halt a four-game losing streak against an impressive looking French side.
The French capital has not been a happy hunting ground for the men in green, who have not won at the Stade de France since 2000 – their only victory in Paris since 1972.
Looking back over the last ten years, these sides have faced each other 14 times and Ireland have claimed victory just twice and although the Irish have been playing some decent rugby at times it's hard to see that trend change this weekend.
The way in which les Bleus dispatched Italy last week presented a number of ominous signs for the other Championship title contenders.
It is important to remember that Phillipe Saint-André's squad had a week less than everyone else to prepare but looked very solid in defence as the Azzurri came flying out of the blocks before the hosts found their rhythm in the second half and ran riot.
No one in the French camp is suggesting that PSA has tried to revolutionise the way they operate but the common sentiment is that instructions and expectations are far clearer under the new regime than during the Marc Lièvremont era.
While on the subject of coaches, pressure must surely be mounting on Declan Kidney…or is it?
Not much has changed since the 2009 Grand Slam despite his team's slide down the standings (2nd in 2010 and 3rd in 2011) and the IRB rankings (8th). There is a growing feeling amongst Irish fans that new faces are needed to revive an ageing team but it's not like there is a long queue of youngsters banging on the door. The average age of Saturday's run-on team is 27.9 so they not exactly geriatrics either.
In Kidney's defence, with just a six-day turnaround after a game they nearly won, it would not have made much sense to make wholesale changes.
Back to the game at hand in Paris where Arctic temperatures await the players. TV scheduling commitments have imposed a 21.00 (local time) kick-off. With a handful of domestic games having already been cancelled due to frozen pitches and the mercury expected to drop to 6 degrees below freezing in the capital by the time play starts, all involved are in for an uncomfortable evening.
Vincent Clerc has already spoken of his fears that the pitch – which does not have under-soil heating – will be more suited for ice skating than running rugby. Let's hope the weather doesn't spoil the spectacle.
Speaking of spoiling and Ireland's all-Munster second-row will look to take a page out of Italy's playbook and target the French line-out. Dimitri Szarzewski will not have had loads of practice throwing at Yoann Maestri and after pinching four line-outs off the Welsh, Paul O'Connell and Donncha O'Callaghan will fancy a repeat performance.
But this weekend's result is likely to depend on Ireland's ability to stop France's very dangerous backs. Morgan Parra replacing Dimitri Yachvili does not weaken the French side at all (remember it was Parra's partnership with François Trinh-Duc that led France to the Grand Slam in 2010). Parra will also join three in-form Clermont team-mates and Vincent Clerc, who is closing in on France's all-time try-scoring record.
During the week both Kidney and O'Connell spoke of the need for Ireland to be a yard faster in defence. You don't need to be a genius to realise that giving les Bleus space is a recipe for disaster.
Players to watch:
For France: Left to make an impact off the bench while Louis Picamoles was handed the number eight jersey, Imanol Harinordoquy didn't disappoint last week with an impressive 16 minutes. It's a hard call to drop the versatile and remarkably consistent Julien Bonnaire but Harinordoquy offers everything that Bonnaire does plus a bit more. A serious threat in the line-out and a ferociously hard hitter, his addition makes the French back three positively scary. Also keep an eye on Toulouse lock Yoann Maestri who has been called on to add some fresh legs to a line-out that struggled last weekend.
For Ireland: Two years ago Jonathan Sexton was being hailed as the most exciting thing to happen to Irish rugby since a guy called Brian. But Ireland's Jonny has yet to stamp his authority on his country's number ten jersey the way his namesake did for England. Sexton left eleven points by the wayside prompting many pundits – in the French press especially – to speculate that Ronan O'Gara would be handed back the reins (again). With ROG still breathing down his neck, Sexton is due a big game and with Irish backs against the wall, now is the time for his star to shine. Andrew Trimble has been in cracking form for Ulster and will need to be at his best against a very well organised French defence.
Head-to-heads: As the old saying goes, size doesn't mean everything but 5ft 11, 90kg Keith Earls has a BIG task on his hands in trying to contain his opposite number: 6ft 4, 106kg Aurélien Rougerie. For the fans of big hits, the battle of the back-rows is set to be a highlight of the whole tournament. Harinordoquy-Picamoles-Dusautoir v O'Brien-Heaslip-Ferris: it doesn't get much better than that!

Developing a New Lifeline for Alzheimer's Caregivers
Ina and Arnie Feidelman, January 2000. Arnie was diagnosed with Alzheimer's the following month.
The perspectives of people caring for loved ones with Alzheimer's is "worthy of a show unto itself," as Krista put it. Indeed, many of the people who wrote to us when we first released "Alzheimer's, Memory, and Being" articulated the full range of emotions — pain, love, anger, bewilderment — that caregivers can feel. And while this week's show references the caregiver experience, it's not at the center of Krista's conversation with Alan Dienstag.
He's now in the process of developing a new therapeutic initiative for caregivers called "Ina's Story," which is based on the first person account of a former patient, Ina Feidelman. She spent 10 years caring for her late husband Arnie, who suffered from both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Here's an excerpt from that account, titled "Needing Help":
"People began to tell me that I should get help in the house. My children my brothers and friends were all concerned about me. They were worried that I was 'killing myself.'
I put Arnie in a day program 2x a week from 1-4 PM. He hated it. He only wanted to be with me. I hired an aide to do some food preparation, to shower him and so on and it was pointless. He would not accept her, and he was angry. He only wanted me. She lasted three weeks. He told me, 'I know it's hard honey but I don't want anyone to take care of me but you…I need you here with me.'
I said, 'But Arnie, I am being worn down. I can't do it anymore.'
I was it…
I cried a lot during this time. I used to cry in the shower, it was private time. That was when I let it hit me…
And I was very angry. Why had this happened to us? I actually had the thought that maybe we were too happy, that somehow things were too good and it had to be taken away from us. It sounds crazy now, but that is what I was thinking. I remember discussing it with my brother, he said "Ina, you were dealt a bad hand, that is it, there is no reason." I believe that is true, but that is not how I felt then."
Ina's story is powerful, Dienstag says, because the trajectory she experienced, both practically and emotionally, is so typical of caregivers: "Our hope is that we can use it to help caregivers who are at the beginning of the process that she has already completed."
Arnie and Ina Feidelman, August 2006.
He also hopes this new project will motivate caregivers to seek psychological support in greater numbers: "The truth is that many caregivers fear (and sometimes hope) that they will not survive the experience of caring for someone with dementia and, remarkably, many go through this without any help."
Dienstag and Feidelman are seeking funding for the project while they develop more written materials.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Castle Dale Elementary is working on a fund raising project to offer help to Haiti. When the students learned of the devastation of the recent earthquakes in Haiti the students wanted to help. They began to think of ways to raise money they could send to the country in crisis. The fourth grade class with the help of their teacher Robyn Saupan decided to organize a sucker sale during the morning and afternoon recesses.
The sale was such a success the fourth graders ran out of suckers and had to purchase more. Saupan said, "Many if not all the schools in Haiti have been destroyed. When the children learned of this, they really wanted to raise money to help in the rebuilding of these damaged schools. They hope their money can also be used to purchase school supplies for the children. We have had such good support from the students of Castle Dale Elementary. We are selling the suckers for 50 cents each. We have been holding the sucker sales for a week and we will continue to sell until we run out of suckers. It has been a quick and easy fund raiser for the children. We asked our Principal Ralph Worthen if we could do something to help the children of Haiti and he has been very supportive of this fund raiser. He is very supportive of service projects and Castle Dale Elementary students are often involved in service to others," said Saupan.
The students lined up in the commons area during each morning and afternoon to purchase the suckers. Mikaela Jensen, student at the school said, "It's nice that we can help out. We should help people who are having trouble. Some of the kids are donating money, but not taking the suckers so they can be sold again. This raises even more money."
Saupan has been checking into the organization that rebuilds the schools as well as the Doctors without Borders foundation to see where best to send the money raised by the Castle Dale students. So far the students have raised more than $245 and they hope the total will keep climbing. If you would like to make a donation to the Castle Dale students Help for Haiti project you can contact Saupan or Principal Worthen at Castle Dale elementary at 381-5221.
Saupan said, "Our students here at Castle Dale elementary do many good things and we want people to know about it."
The goal for the students was three boxes to raise $150. The final tally far exceeded their expectations with $556 being raised.

Changing Course: Teachers Impact At-Risk Haredi Teens
By the time she was 15, Sari had already cycled through several schools.
Each time, it was the same situation. Though Sari's homeroom teacher never noticed the stress she endured from the constant change and the struggle to keep up with her studies, she'd quickly criticize Sari for not upholding the strict behavioral and dress standards of her ultra-Orthodox school.
The continued rejection, coupled with her personal troubles, threw Sari into a state of emotional distress.
Then Sari enrolled at Tlamim — a high school for ultra-Orthodox girls who have dropped out of the mainstream school system. There, for the first time, she found a principal and teachers who accepted her.
Thanks to the professional training the Tlamim staff received from JDC specialists in working with students at-risk, Sari's new homeroom teacher Chani understood it was critical to restore Sari's trust in adults. Chani succeeded in helping Sari to gradually open up.
"I was a bit panicked when I first met Sari, given her forthright manner and the stories I heard about her. But from the first day, I realized that tikkun olam in Sari's case meant that I would have to work with her intensely to overcome her past," Chani said. "I both accepted her for who she was, and prayed that her behavior would be forgiven."
Chani was trained through JDC's Elecha, a pilot program that began operating in 2011 in partnership with Israel's Ministry of Education and Haredi teacher seminaries.
Elecha currently trains educators from Beit Shemesh, Betar Illit, Bnei Brak, Haifa, Jerusalem, and Modiin Ilit — all home to large Haredi populations.
Despite the Haredi educational institutions' traditional reluctance to cope with more challenging students, a new openness is emerging. It's a move that's particularly critical considering the high dropout rates among Haredi youth, the prevalence of poverty in the Haredi community, and the connection between poverty and lack of education.
Elecha trains educators to recognize and treat students' needs before they reach crisis level. The program also helps each participating school cultivate an expert to serve as a mentor and resource for other school staff in dealing with emotionally distressed students.
In 2012, the program trained 575 Haredi professionals and teachers-in-training, up from 465 in 2011. Graduates of the program worked with 1,090 students and 370 parents at ten schools this year.
Alongside the teacher training, the JDC intervention also introduced a poetry workshop for Sari and her classmates. For Sari, poetry became a way to come to terms with her loneliness and also to recognize that she can find the hope for a better future:
"The darker the night sky, the brighter the stars
I will discover stars in the skies of my life
There are times when a stream is full while still disappointing
I will discover the water when I sing my song."
Today Sari is much more comfortable within her ultra-Orthodox community and more capable of working through her feelings and thoughts.
She says she already knows what she wants to be when she grows up — a teacher for "lost" girls in the ultra-Orthodox community, like the woman who helped her.
As for Chani, she said working with Sari and JDC changed her for the better.
"Today I can say that an adult's actions and words can lead children to such unnecessary negative places," she said. "After my experience with Sari and her friends and thanks to the accompaniment I received from JDC staff along the way, I am now a more attuned mother and teacher."The Elecha program is generously supported by The Maurice and Vivienne Wohl Charitable Foundation and UJA-Federation of New York.
