Froggy Memorabilia is highly prized, it is, it is! If "Andy's Gang" wasn't on TV, kids could sit around flickering
To the left, the Froggy Flicker toy in simulated action!
Buster Brown's promotions included a Froggy ring, a pinback button, and Froggy on the shoe box (part of a "game"
you could play if you cut out cardboard figures and had plenty of time on your hands).
One of the better items is this full-size Froggy the Gremlin mask. It'll fit most any face, even yours.
$15 for a button. $50 for a paper mask. It's
FROGGY FEVER, it is, it is!
Two more odd items. To the left...Whacking it to Froggy....the
Froggy the Gremlin PADDLEBALL set, that is. After all these years, the paddles are hard to find, especially with balls still
And bellow...
It's the Froggy the Gremlin Glider. The idea here
is to blow through the tube, and have Froggy go sailing off into the distance.
Check back every day and see if there's more Froggy memorabilia on this page! Do you have anything better to do? I doubt it,
I do I do

Move-in in February and pay no rent until March! (13+ month lease term)
The cleanest turn of an apartment I've ever moved in with very minimal prior damages. Completing paperwork was very simple and the leasing consultant was upfront with any fees and charges written into the lease. With Canal side lofts I don't feel like I'm getting scammed out of a ton of money like I did from a popular college living apartment.The staff is so nice and they treat/talk to you like you are one of them. This isn't a place where the staff sits on a pedestal above tenants.
The office staff are so kind and helpful, always making sure to take care of any issues I am having in a timely manner. The maintenance team is great, too, and gets things fixed quickly. The community is relatively quiet. I've had no noise complaints about my neighbors, which--coming from a large apartment building in the DC area--is such a relief. I love the location, too!! Being so close to the Vista is a huge bonus.
Gabriella A.
Love the place except I don't understand why my bedroom didn't come with a light fixture. Apparently it only comes in the upgraded apartments. But a bedroom light isn't a luxury, it's more of a necessity.
Here is the feedback I wish I had before living at CanalSide:
First, I missed a payment by several days and found a note on my door stating eviction proceedings would begin and that I owe a $125 late charge. Didn't even receive a reminder or a note- they went straight to eviction warnings. I spoke with staff twice to remove the fee and they would not.
Second, there are ~$50 of "hidden" fees, one of them is for cockroach spraying which does not work, as your apartment will be crawling with cockroaches for most of the year.
Third, you can't get packages sent to your door because they will be stolen. I had to get everything sent to my work.
Fourth, the walls are very thin and even if your neighbors are not being loud, you still hear them all night.
Fifth, be extremely careful with the contract. There are MANY terms in the small writing that will cause you difficulties down the road. For instance, even if your term is 9 months, they still require 60 days notice before you can leave. I gave them 30 days notice thinking this was enough, now I have to pay a drastically higher month-to-month rate for the apartment for an entire month that I won't even be living here. Not even in this case were they willing to cooperate.
And finally, once you sign the contract, the management is extremely rude and refuses to work with you. There are better, and much cheaper, options in Columbia.
Until recently, I lived in CanalSide lofts for about 2 years. During the first year I had a great experience; however my second year was less than stellar. The Management Office has experienced unbelievable turn over lately which has bred incompetence on their part. There is a clear lack of communication and awareness among the management team.
I sent an email about getting paint to do touch ups in my apartment and the leasing agent's response was "Hey, yep you could do a paint match at lowes, I think." As expected, that was largely inaccurate (not to mention, unprofessional) and you can indeed get touch up paint from maintenance.
The mail at this complex is an absolute nightmare. I started just shipping things to my office to avoid the headache. They make you pay an extra fee per month to access lockers where packages are stored yet I still received at least one email a day from other residents who were missing packages.
I work the early morning shift and there was one week where the fire alarm went off 3 times in the middle of the night. I sent an email to the "property manager" inquiring about what the cause may be, and she could not even bother to respond.
I also had a huge issue with the lighting in my apartment. The last couple months of my lease I had to send a maintenance request every other week because the bulbs in my track lighting were constantly burning out. I kept requesting that the engineering team look into the problem further, because it was clear to me that the issue was beyond the bulb itself. They repeatedly ignored my request.
Lastly, a note was left on my door that I was going to be fined because I forgot to take my valet trash can inside before I left for work one morning; however, the apartment below me had 2 8ft boxes laying in the middle of the walkway for over a month.
The bottom line is that I would recommend this complex to college kids. I just don't think it is a good fit for working professionals.
Adjacent to Riverfront Park and the Three Rivers Greenway in downtown Columbia, CanalSide Lofts is the new way to live. You'll fall in love with the open floor plans, soaring ceilings and spacious interiors of the CanalSide Lofts. And the impressive skyline views alone are sure to dazzle your friends. Multiple floor plan options and living spaces are available in this one-of-a-kind neighborhood.

In 2006 I went to the Darfuri refugee camps as a member of the i-ACT team. I will never forget the hundreds of children who ran toward us as we entered the camp. Their eyes were filled with hope and excitement as they greeted us. They would surround us with smiles, hugs and a sense of joy that seemed impossible under the circumstances. I would come to learn that this was a hallmark of the Darfuri people despite so much loss. Most of the children older than three years old were carrying their baby siblings on their back. Their mothers were off tending to the dangerous task of gathering the necessary wood outside the camps while many of their fathers and older siblings had not even made it to the camps. There are specific faces that have never strayed far from my heart since that visit. I got pregnant with my oldest daughter right after I got home. Home—- that word had taken on a whole new meaning for me after meeting so many who had lost theirs in a way I could hardly imagine.
Today, I am a mother of two who continually navigates the decisions that I feel are in my children's best interest and worries that I might make a mistake in choosing the right meal, doctor or school. When I wrestle with these decisions my heart goes back to the friends I made in the camps. I remember the mothers and children left without any choices. Research has proven that one of the best investments we can make in a child's life is quality early education. The children in the camps are no different than our children, no less deserving of the best possible chance in life and they will one day share the world we leave to them. That is why I believe in, support and teach my own children about Little Ripples. I have met, come to care about and been inspired by the community that Little Ripples supports and if I leave my own children nothing else, I hope it is a legacy of participation in their world.
I invite you to join me at my home on March 6, 2014 for an Intimate Gathering of Educators for Global Good to explore how your community can be part of Little Ripples. For more information and to RSVP by March 1 visit our event page here.

Apr 13 11 InstaDJ – a quick way to assemble YouTube playlists
I made a website that lets you create YouTube playlists easily – and share them, too.
Everybody is online nowadays. Nobody uses CDs anymore. So at parties it's common to see a laptop hooked up to a stereo where people go up and select songs on YouTube during the night. It kinda sucks though:
- Music starts and stops randomly as people get drunk and start searching for songs while another is playing.
- You need to get up and change the track when it stops.
- It's too hard to make a playlist on YouTube. You can't really make one on the fly.
- What's more, you have to be logged in with your Google ID to make playlists. I don't want random people to mess with my account (e.g. Gmail), especially drunk people.
Sure, there's Grooveshark. But people who aren't nerds can't figure out how to use Grooveshark and will just go to YouTube instead. It's too easy to interrupt a playlist, especially when you're drunk. The add to playlist button is easily missed.
Grooveshark is also missing many songs due to silly record companies.
Other sites exist, I know. But no matter which one you use, people will inevitably go to YouTube because it's got all the content and it's what people know and love.
Even other "Youtube DJ" sites exist. I've been through a few. They either a) require login, b) are hard to use, c) can't autoplay, d) don't work.
So I got fed up with all this and made InstaDJ. It's a dead-simple Web site where you can add YouTube videos to a playlist on the fly. Even drunk people get it.
InstaDJ allows you to search and queue YouTube videos, using a simple interface everybody understands, in a way which doesn't interrupt the music.
What it does
- Search YouTube videos
- View user uploads and favorites
- Queue YouTube videos
- Auto-selects HD video if available
- Generate URL to playlists
- Share playlist
- It's free and there's no ads
- Easy to use, minimalist interface
I even find myself just using InstaDJ instead of playing music from my iTunes library.
Don't you want to try it out? Just click here to go to InstaDJ.com.
For the technically interested, it's built with the YouTube API, Twitter Bootstrap and jQuery. Enjoy.

This year for Christmas Henry and I gave his mum a clock becasue she needed a new one. We thought she would like a bit of an opulant clock so we searched on ebay and found a good rococo gold one. When it arrived I re painted it a nice gold as I thought the original gold colour wasn't that nice. Also it had spots all over it to make it look vintage or whatever. But I didn't think the spots looked very good. Why would you put spots all over a lovely gold clock?!
So yes it got a new coat of gold paint. Then Henry varnished it and then I decorated it with gems! We were both very pleased with it. it is very sparkly. I think it is beautiful and I want one for my own future house now!
Theses photos don't really do it justice. It was a bit of a hard thing to photograph.
Celestine was extremely jealous of the clock. It is exactly the sort of clock she would like for herself in miniature. To appease her I made her a gold dress with gems on it.
Here's what the clock looked like before:
Celestine was very sad to see it go. But she'll at least get to see it again next time we visit Henry's mum!

A Dangerous Example of Javascript Hoisting
Javascript is certainly a popular language these days. Unfortunately it has tons of razor-sharp edges that will rip your fingertips to shreds like scorpions on a ceramic knife. It's important to be on the watch for patterns that are common in other languages which can cause a lot of trouble in Javascript. This can happen especially if you switch between languages a lot.
The example du jour that I wanted to share is variable hoisting. This phenonemon (where variables are 'hoisted' to the 'top' of the function) is caused by Javascript's declaration of variables in a function scope, meaning that variables declared in a function are available anywhere in that function, even before they are assigned a value.
Ok, makes sense, the above code uses the variable 'n' that's created inside the function, which hasn't yet been assigned a value the first time it's printed. In many places you may not even notice, or get a big ol' undefined, which you can fix. But somewhere this can really screw you is in loops where you're closing over a variable that ends up being declared in function scope outside the loop. See the following example:
This example demonstrates that 'msg' is shared between the three invocations of 'alert'. Avoid this fate by getting in the habit of explicitly declaring the variables that your closure is closing over by passing them in as arguments and binding them at the time the closure is created, as below.
Successful programming is about releasing correct, useful features quickly. The more preventative habits you get into while using a hard-to-debug, dangerous language like Javascript, the happier you and your users will be.

Gives you 2 kinds of volume adjustment.
The Morley Volume Plus was developed from many user requests for a switchable Minimum Volume control. Minimum Volume control allows users to use the volume guitar pedals for either a Lead/Rhythm pedal or a standard Volume control pedal. Electro-Optical Volume footpedal is consistent and studio quiet (no pots to wear out). AUDIO taper allows smooth volume control or violin type swells. Minimum Volume knob is used for a smooth transition between rhythm and lead volumes. Works with Guitar, Bass, Keys or any other instrument you need to control volume on.
Some found it inconvenient to have to turn down the Min Vol knob and then have to reset it when using either function. Now, the Minimum Volume feature is foot switchable so it can easily be used as Lead/Rhythm pedal or Volume pedal.
- Switchable Minimum Volume control
- AUDIO taper allows smooth volume control or violin type swells
- LED indication, easy access battery compartment.
- Works with Guitar, Bass, Keys or any other instrument needing volume control
Volume Plus Pedal Specifications:
- POWER: 9V Battery or Morley 9VDC 300 mA regulated adapter (center pin is negative)
- CURRENT DRAW: 2.5 mA @ 9 VDC
- CONTROLS: Switchable Minimum Volume
- TAPER: Audio
- WEIGHT: 3.3 lb./ 1.51 kg
- INDICATOR: Power LED on
- Dimensions: 9.13"(L) x 5.88"(W) x 2.75"(H)

Tottenham Have An Advantage Says Conte
Antonio Conte has urged Chelsea to use their win in the FA Cup for their upcoming premier league matches, but says Tottenham have an advantage of an extra day's rest.
Chelsea made it to the final of the FA Cup, after beating Tottenham 4-2 at Wembley. Spurs are four points behind Chelsea on the table.
Conte's men will welcome Southampton on Tuesday as they look to claim the trophy, but Tottenham have an extra day of rest, as they play Crystal Palace on Wednesday, a situation that doesn't go down well with the Italian.
Conte said: "We have to try to exploit the momentum. I think this week is crucial for us.
"They have the advantage. We have to play after two days and a half and Tottenham have one day more to rest.
"Sometimes it is difficult to understand this planning of the fixtures but we have to try to answer on the pitch.
"For sure this win is a really important win. They are fighting us for the title. We have to know that, on Tuesday, we play a tough game against a tough team. I want our fans to be the 12th player."

Greece Stability Plan 2009-2013
I've been meaning to write about Greece's fiscal situation for a while, and still intend to publish a comprehensive post on the matter soon.
But since this might be a while, I thought I'd post the forecasts from Greece's hot-off-the-oven Stability plan anyways together with some random, and - in the grand tradition of macroeconomics - not necessarily terribly well thought-through opinions:
1. Thinking mostly about 2011 onwards, I think the growth forecast might be a bit on the conservative side.
2. The unemployment forecast is definitely on the optimistic side; that said, it's worth noting that they have reasonably forecasted unemployment not falling until 2013.
3. Who on earth knows what the deficit or debt are as a percent of GDP. They are OK ball-park figures though, and in any case they are not very relevant at these levels.
4. The probability Greece will be defaulting is extremely low. Buying Greek debt now (if you are willing to hold to maturity) offers juicy returns with very little risk. Btw, this is not investment advice, the value of your portfolio can go up as well as down, you invest your money at your own risk, etc. (isn't there a law that requires me to say this?)
And a question to everyone out there: If Japan - which at the end of the day can always inflate the debt away (yes, they really can!) - comfortably holds debt at 170%-200% of GDP, why can't Greece?

Forecasting unemployment 2 years ahead seems quite ridiculous. It seems obvious that it will be higher than now, but by how much is difficult to forecast.
Why do you think that Japan holds "COMFORTABLY" debt at 170%-200%. Japanese bailouts in the early 90ies (as the US/UK did 08/09) have caused Zombie-banks that have dragged down the whole system. This enforced artificial life support has caused many unwanted side effects, e.g. the Japanese stock market is as low as it was 19 years ago! And it was that low even before the 2007-2009 crisis.
Your suggestion that nothing is wrong with this approach and that Greece should follow suit is outragous.
Fact is that Western countries are highly indebted and I do believe that one of them will default on its debt, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy or Greece, who knows. No matter who it will be, it will send shockwaves through the system with a possibility of that country to leave the Euro and the Euro potentially to collapse/dissolve.
By the way, USA and UK are in a much worse shape. If the US was a corporation and audited, it would receive a triple C credit rating.

Expensive to rebuild, expensive and hard to tune and maintain....the exhaust has to be .120+ because they love to puke flames on a downshift...EGT's in excess of 1400+ degrees are easy to do.
A well built and bridge-ported rotary can make lots of power and shoot SWEET flames...as well as burying the needle of a 10K tach before you shift....theyre impervious to boost and are lots of fun....although much like a blonde with huge boobs....fun to drive buy expensive to maintain.

Hey everyone!
I'm looking so much forward to these posts, that I've been trying to finish some products like crazy. I guess that was the point of me starting them in the first place.
Dry Shampoo by Balea
I don't really use dry shampoos and I want to avoid doing so as much as possible, but I just wanted to try this one out. The smell is lovely and it freshens up the hair really nicely, but I had a huge problem with it and the problem was the small particles flying everywhere. You literally can't avoid inhaling them - no matter if you do it inside or outside, they will stick to your lungs. That's a good enough reason for me not to buy it again.
Elseve Color Conditioner by L'Oreal
I posted about the shampoo from the same line in my last Empties post and now I finally finished the conditioner. Never in my life have I finished a shampoo before the conditioner, but I guess there's a first time for everything. The main reason for that is because this conditioner is quite heavy. I don't know if that's the correct term, but you only need a really small amount to get your hair conditioned. I have very long hair and I only used around a tablespoon of product. That being said, if you put a bit more, you probably won't even be able to get it out afterwards.
Sweet Candy Raffaello Eau de Toillette
I've had this "little" guy more than a year and a half and I've just finished it. If you like sweet scents, you'll probably love this. I probably won't get it again as I love changing my perfumes and I'm pretty much over my "I want to smell like candy" phase. Lovely product, though.
Sugar Plum & Vanilla Spray by Avon
The scent is one of my favorites so far. Smells like the jam my grandmother used to make. Really lovely and not too strong at all.
Wake Me Up Foundation by Rimmel London
This is by far the most expensive foundation that I've bought and I loved it. It blended like perfection and feels really smooth on the skin. They could probably go easy on the shimmer though as it got everywhere after application. I will surely purchase it again when I save up enough money :)
Liquid Extraction Strip by Avon
And the last thing is this lovely little product here. It's actually a gel that you apply on your nose, forehead, chin etc. in order to remove blackheads. It's very effective, but very thick and hard to apply (I used a wooden stick, because it made the process easier). Unlike the pore strips that only fit certain nose shape and they can be sometimes hard to apply, you can apply the gel wherever you have a blackhead problem.
Thanks for reading!

The pitch invader who mobbed George North during Wales' RBS Six Nations victory against France was the winger's father, David.
North had just scored a try when his father jumped over the barriers to join his son on the Stade de France pitch. North Snr however was allowed to return to his seat after he explained to understanding stewards who he was.
North Jnr said: "He (David) was in that corner in a big group of Welsh fans. He just lost his head in the excitement. To be honest, I can't understand why running on to the pitch was the first thing that came into his head!" he added after the 16-6 win.
"My back was turned and I was jogging back to the halfway line for the kick-off. I was oblivious to it. A couple of the boys were saying, 'Is that your old man?' And everyone was like, 'No, it can't be'."
David told the Mail: "It was a freezing night and we were sat in that corner, right in front of where George caught the ball. I was just so happy and overwhelmed watching him score."
"It was such an important game for the team and I know first hand how hard they have been working to get that victory. Before I knew it, I was on the pitch.
"Thinking back, I know it was a silly thing to do but I just got caught up in the excitement of it all."
North's try contributed to Wales' first win after eight successive Test defeats as they won 16-6 in Paris.

Wolverines split twinbill at W&J
WASHINGTON, Pa. -- The Grove City College baseball team moved to 8-5 in the Presidents' Athletic Conference Monday evening by splitting a conference doubleheader at Washington & Jefferson's Ross Memorial Park. W&J won the opener 11-7 but Grove City (13-12 overall) rebounded for a 10-5 triumph in Game Two.
Grove City collected 13 hits in the nightcap as eight of the nine starters had at least one hit. The Wolverines broke open the game with a six-run second inning and then added an insurance run in the seventh to help put away the game.
The Wolverines grabbed a quick 3-0 lead in the top of the first when senior DH Marcus Magister (Allison Park, Pa./Hampton) cracked a three-run homer to center field.
In the second, Grove City pushed the lead to 5-0 when senior shortstop Scott Moran (Columbia, Md./Chapelgate Christian) worked a bases-loaded walk and freshman third baseman Tom Hawley (Aurora, Ohio/Aurora) hit a sacrifice fly. The lead swelled to 7-0 on a two-run single from freshman first baseman Ryan Parker (Houston, Pa./Chartiers-Houston).
Sophomore catcher Doug Wells (Staten Island, N.Y./St. Peter's) closed the rally with a two-run homer, his second round-tripper of the year.
Parker scored Grove City's 10th run when he came home on a seventh-inning single by senior left fielder Butch Kriger (Pittsburgh, Pa./Montour). Parker went 3 for 4 while Wells also doubled. Kriger and sophomore right fielder Josh Sacks (Columbia, Md./Chapelgate Christian) both had two hits. Moran scored twice.
Senior pitcher Chip Hasek (Valencia, Pa./Mars) made his first start of the season and picked up the win after allowing five runs in four-plus innings. Sophomore Max Vickerman (Zelienople, Pa./Seneca Valley) recorded his second save of 2011 after pitching three scoreless innings of relief.
Kriger launched a grand slam in the top of the second to give Grove City a 4-3 lead in the opener but W&J rebounded with four runs in the bottom of the second to take the lead for good.
Sacks and senior DH Kyle Wolff (Centerville, Ohio/Centerville) both went 2 for 3 in Game One. Senior second baseman Andrew Patterson (Akron, Ohio/Cuyahoga Valley Christian) doubled and freshman Evan Hoskinson (Uniontown, Ohio/Green) added a two-run double in the seventh.
Senior Andy Klimek (Oakdale, Pa./South Fayette) started and took the setback for the Wolverines. Klimek pitched 1 1/3 innings. Senior J.T. Seelman (Pittsburgh, Pa./Thomas Jefferson), senior Matt Smith (Albany, N.Y./Loudonville Christian) and junior Andrew Krull (Imperial, Pa./West Allegheny) all pitched in relief.
Grove City will visit Waynesburg Tuesday afternoon at 1 p.m. for a conference doubleheader.

The site for demolition- Bonny Watson parking lot to John St on the east side of Broadway, Old Chang's building and parking lot on the west side of Broadway.
There are trees that will need to be removed for construction. Currently all trees being removed are right at the wall that will go up around the site or that are above the construction site. There is a Chinese Scholar Tree that will be protected. According to the construction bid, any time work is done around the tree a certified arborist must be on site to monitor work.
ST is working on a tree restoration plan with the Parks Dept.
There was a request by a community member to hire a plant pathologist because the trees surrounding the Chinese Scholar have interlocked root structures, that removing those trees could damage the protected tree. There was also a request that ST bring in a large tree arborist to remove some of the trees noted for demolition.
People can still get plants from construction sites- contact gro.tisnartdnuos|hconnum.ffej#gro.tisnartdnuos|hconnum.ffej for details.

Norton Commons held its annual Charity Homes Celebration May 10th – May 25th. The tour of homes featured 12 fully-furnished new homes, each inspired by traditional Louisville architecture.
Norton Commons selected one charity per house to benefit from the fundraiser, including Make-A-Wish. Through ticket sales and participant votes, the home celebration raised $16,000 to help make wishes come true for local wish kids.
"We were so honored to be chosen again this year to take part in the charity homes celebration," says Development Officer Alana Karl. "Event goers were able to experience our mission firsthand in the Make-A-Wish house and see the valuable impact our work has on the local community and the kids we serve."
Make-A-Wish was also named "Favorite Charity" among the 12 participating charities in the fundraiser. "We have more than 170 children in Kentucky waiting for a wish come true," says Karl. It is inspiring to see the community rally around events like this to help make these wishes come true and we appreciate the support Norton Commons and everyone who came out to the event."

Procedure to kill a session
Posted by John Hallas on August 18, 2009
On the Oracle-L mailing list a user requested a procedure to allow a developer to kill his own process. This contributed quite a few comments which I will list below and I posted a method that I use when I have the same requirement.
To create the stored procedure logon as a sysdba through sqlplus and explicitly grant the required rights to system and then create the procedure.
grant alter system to system; grant select on sys.v_$session to system; create or replace procedure system.killsession (killsid IN VARCHAR2) as killserial varchar2(20); begin killserial:='none'; select serial# into killserial from sys.v_$session where sid = killsid and username = 'WES'; execute immediate 'alter system kill session ''' || to_char (killsid) || ', ' || to_char (killserial) || '''' ; EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN dbms_output.put_line('The SID ' || killsid || ' does not exist or cannot be killed'); end ;
Grant execute on the procedure to the user
For example, userxxx needs access to kill sessions so you would type the following:-grant execute on system.killsession to userxxx;
The user needs to know the sid of the session being killed. For example, if a user needs to kill a session with a SID of 140 they would type:-set serveroutput on exec system.killsession ('140');
If they get the following error then there is no SID with a username of WES currently connected:-The SID 140 does not exist or cannot be killed
The various thoughts on allowing such a procedure centred on two strands, security and practical considerations
Security issues
- Why do they need to kill jobs, what is causing the issue
What will developers want next
Sarbanes-Oxley considerations
- How do you know the developer will kill one of his own processes and not a co-worker (think apps or sysadm job)
Can you use resource profiles to limit CPU usage
Use a standby to allow unrestricted resource usage
My view is that in certain development environments, for certain users it is reasonable to allow them to kill a process that is running rogue and as such I am happy to provide such a facility. This would not be allowed either unrestricted or in any sort of controlled environment such as production and pre-production.

Another consideration is that even though the session is marked as killed in the database does not really mean it is completely killed. Sometimes the OS process on the database server has to be killed as well before it will end and release all the resources it has locked!!

HOUSTON --A 5-year-old boy pulled his severely burned 2-year-old brother to safety after a big rig rollover wreck that killed their father in the Houston, Texas, area early Friday, police said.
The horrifying accident happened at about 1:15 a.m. on the North Freeway. Houston police say the tractor trailer struck a metal guardrail and a concrete pillar before rolling over and catching fire.
The driver appeared to have been ejected and died at the scene.
His two young sons were passengers in the truck. The 5-year-old boy pulled his brother away from the wreck, which burst into flames.

Both children were transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital. The older boy had minor injuries while the 2-year-old suffered severe burns.
The children's mother was said to be completely unaware of what happened because she was traveling in an RV far ahead of the big rig. Deputies were working to reunite the woman with her children.

(My) Housing Crisis
This past spring, I almost found myself homeless. Yes, I have a Harvard Law degree, a stable career, savings, and credit. What's the stereotype, oh, yeah, that I must have substance abuse or mental health issues. I have neither. After leaving school, I never would have thought in a million years that I would experience such stress or instability in my life or my housing situation. But when a landlord is entering your apartment without notice, turning off your heat, harassing you at work, and putting down rat poison where your dogs might eat it, any educational or financial advantages you might have rapidly fly out the window. I couldn't move immediately – it was the middle of the semester – but friends helped and I found a convenient hotel. Within a month and a half I had cobbled together a rental arrangement with a colleague, and in the meantime had shipped the dogs off to a dogsitter to keep them safe.
I didn't think to look up my landlords on any of the legal databases before signing my lease – seemed like overkill. After all, the apartment seemed to be well-maintained, and that, the location, and the price were what I was looking at, mostly. After the abusive behavior started, I learned that the landlords had been sued close to a dozen times by their tenants – and they lost every time.
Unfortunately, my experience leads me now to believe that for those who rent, housing instability is just one bad landlord away. This is not necessarily based on the tenant's financial situation, although slumlords and conditions of disrepair typically tend to go hand in hand. (Of course there are plenty of people who live in very modest situations, but who have good landlords). It's common to bash landlord-tenant law as being over-protective of tenants, and you hear people complain about tenants who don't pay and how difficult it is to evict a tenant. Let me tell you that I was grateful and appreciative of every single one of those legal protections when my housing troubles began. It's the abuses, the hard cases, that the system is designed for – because housing is a necessity – and that was exactly what I was up against.
My housing story has a happy ending. But I was lucky – to have the support network and resources to fall back on that others might not. What I learned is that housing instability can happen to anyone, and that our "safety net" is made of gossamer.

Did you know that when you don't get enough sleep, you're likely to have an increased risk for:
That's right folks. When you don't get enough sleep, there's a whole lot more missing from your life than some shut eye. To sum it up, there's quite a nasty list of what you may experience:
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) 5mg: 5-HTP has been shown to increase REM sleep, deep-sleep, and reduce symptoms of insomnia and increases levels of endorphins (polypeptides) produced in the brain that contribute to mood elevation, relaxing, and analgesic effects. Clinical research has shown supplementation of 5-HTP to have beneficial effects upon anxiety, depression, obesity, seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D.), and the relief and prevention of migraine headaches. 5-HTP works to enhance sleep by increasing the cell's output of seratonin.
Melatonin 5mg: Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland at the center of the brain and secreted to help our bodies regulate our sleep-wake cycle. Studies suggest a low dose supplement of melatonin can help people sleep and ease jet-lag. With age, the amount of melatonin produced by our body decreases. Scientists believe this is why seniors often suffer from diminished sleep capacity.
Sleep Pro also contains a proprietary blend of extracts of Passiflora (Passion Flower), Hops, and Valerian root, in a base of distilled water, glycerine, alchohol, trace minerals, Grapefruit Seed Extract, potassium sorbate, and natural flavoring.

All about the Butter on the Biscuit
Belinda @ Kids Matter
When life is just butter on a biscuit, you know your world is grand! BUT… when you find your biscuit is stale and your butter dripping all in your lap, what then? Yeah, what then, oh my! Let me tell you what you do. Been there, done that, and repeat it often, so I dub myself a pro. You step back, nuke the biscuit a couple seconds, don't use so much butter this time, eat and enjoy! What? Why is this strange person talking about biscuits? Why is it even important?Let me explain… biscuits are the equivalent to your life. If you don't put a little excitement, fun, and joy in your life, life gets really stale… just like a biscuit. Now the butter… that's the joy, fun, and spice you add to your life. If you overdo it you've got a nice mess in your lap, but with just the right amount… well you know… ummm butter on a biscuit!

|L-R: Vice-Chancellor, Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Prof A. B. Okesina;
Dr Sanginga; and Chairman, Governing Council, UNIOSUN,
Prof Gabriel Olawoyin,during the 2013 Distinguished Annual Lecture
at the College of Agriculture, Osun State University
For Africa to witness a "Green Revolution," the continent must sustainably intensify its agricultural production system, use organic and inorganic inputs, and also pay attention to the youth by engaging them in every sector of agriculture.
Delivering a lecture on 'Agronomy or Brown Revolution needed in sub-Saharan Africa? Engagement of the Youth in Science-driven Agribusiness', Director General Nteranya Sanginga said, "Africa needs to avoid opening up new lands and clearing forests to increase yields which have negative consequences on the environment and lead to a loss of biodiversity.
To sustain agricultural intensification, Africa must increase food production from existing farmland while minimizing pressure on the environment. This would address the challenges of increasing demand for food from a growing global population in a world where land, water, energy, and other inputs are in short supply, overexploited, and used unsustainably.
He advocated a radical shift from the current agricultural system that is characterized by low inputs and poor scientific knowledge.
Dr Sanginga said that if Africa had been efficiently using inputs including both organic and inorganic—herbicides and fertilizers— the continent would have benefited from the genetic gain recorded by researchers over the years through breeding programs.
"For example, if you take cassava, we have had genetic gains through breeding but instead of getting 50 t/ha we are getting 15 t/ha on most farmers' fields. If we were applying fertilizers, we would have recorded higher yields…and this is the situation not only with cassava but with several other crops," he explained at the 2013 Distinguished Annual Lecture organized by the College of Agriculture, Osun State University.
Dr Sanginga reiterated that no continent on earth had ever developed its agriculture without the use of inputs such as fertilizers and stressed that Africa should never be denied the opportunity to use inputs.
"If you look at the agricultural revolution in Asia or even in Europe, inputs were used to transform agriculture…I believe that Africa should take the same path," he noted.
Tied to natural resource management, Dr Sanginga also underscored the need to engage the youth in agriculture and presented the IITA Youth Project as a model that Africa could adopt.
The IITA Youth Project engages young people from different disciplines, trains and equips them with the hands-on skills and knowledge that empowers and encourages them to go into agriculture.
Dr Sanginga said getting the youth on board was critical for the sustainability of agricultural reforms, citing current statistics that indicate that most agricultural researchers and even farmers are old.
The DG said that the Institute would continue to partner with other institutions and deliver those innovations that would improve the productivity and livelihoods of farmers. "Central to the activities of IITA is capacity building," he added.

Prof. G.A. Olawoyin, the Chairman of the Governing Council of the university, noted the need for a "Brown Revolution" in Africa, and agreed that the engagement of the youth in agribusiness is relevant to the situation of Nigeria and Africa in general.
He described the lecture as a catalyst to solving the menace of youth unemployment and food insecurity.
Dr Sanginga was accompanied by Dr Gbassey Tarawali, Godwin Atser, and members of the IITA Youth Project.

WACO - Several high-profile chains want to make it more convenient for Waco travelers to stop, shop and fill up their gas tanks.
The Corpus Christi-based chain called Stripes had bought five prime locations on which to build their 6,844-sf stores and is negotiating to acquire three others in the Greater Waco area.
The sites Stripes has acquired include the Town & Country Gardens location at 603 S. Valley Mills Dr.; South 26th St. and Franklin Ave.; New Rd. and Bagby Ave.; Sun Valley Blvd. and Bagby Ave.; and US 77 and Primrose Dr.
Meanwhile, 7-Eleven just finished leveling the former Arby's building on University Parks Dr., near I-35.

A couple of weeks ago the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the individual mandate in Obamacare. Since then we haven't heard much about the case. I went to the Cato Institute's Ilya Shapiro, who has been front and center in the litigation, to get an update on where things stand.
The administration could seek en banc review at the 11th Circuit. Shapiro, however, says this would be essentially a stalling technique, explaining that "there's no chance it'll be granted because the panel [that heard the case] is already 2-1 against" and four of the seven remaining judges on the 11th Circuit are appointed by Republicans and considered to be conservative. Moreover, since six members are needed to get en banc review (the dissenter from the panel, the three Democratic-appointed judges and two more), he contends, "it's not gonna happen." He therefore concludes, "Any request for en banc review, "will be purely a political move to play for time and push the Supreme Court decision past the election — no legal reason to do it — and the court would probably deny it quickly. The release of a decision not to grant en banc review (which doesn't require a written opinion) could be delayed, however, by the writing of a dissent from that denial."
When could the Supreme Court grant certiorari? Shapiro tells me, "The earliest the Supreme Court could grant cert (on the petition out of the Sixth Circuit) is today. More realistically, it would be the week before the term opens for argument the first week of October, right after the so-called long conference, when they review all the petitions that have come in over the summer." However, in all likelihood, he contends the Supreme Court would wait for the appeal from the 11th Circuit (in which 26 states are represented).
As for the oral argument, there is a good likelihood, Shapiro explains that "this will get to the Court this term, with argument in the spring and a decision the last week of June."
As of now, the 11th Circuit case is the law of the land for those states. Is a stay needed? Shapiro says, "No stay is needed because the individual mandate doesn't go into effect until 2014, and that's the only provision that's been struck down. So we don't need to go into the type of analysis we did after Judge Vinson's [federal court] decision about what the federal government is authorized to do to keep implementing the legislation, in the 26 states or generally."
The bottom line: Obamacare is out of the headlines now, but it is almost certain to return as a hot controversy just as we wrap up the presidential primary season and head into the political conventions next summer. This, I suspect, suits the Republicans just fine.

Who pushed Arunachal Pradesh into a constitutional crisis?
As usual, media punditry, a curious mix of facts and fiction, personal political bias and a selective reading of available material, offers no clear answer. At the most basic level though, if Chief Minister Nabam Tuki failed to keep his flock together and the rebels rushed into the waiting arms of the BJP, it has to be his fault. The only option for him after losing the numbers is to step down gracefully.
However, the matter does not appear as uncomplicated if you factor in several decisions made by Governor Jyoti Prakash Rajkhowa.
These raise critical questions: Why did he advance the Assembly session from 14 January to 16 December? Was he within his constitutional mandate while summoning the Assembly without the aid and advice of the chief minister and his council of ministers? How can he have a say on the constitution of the House? These will, of course, be examined by the court. However, the real big question is: Is he indulging in political games at the behest of the RSS-BJP as has been alleged by the Congress? If that indeed is the case, then the role of the RSS in political matters of the country needs deeper scrutiny.
The Sangh would love to identify itself as a nationalist socio-cultural organisation, however, recent developments suggest it has hugely expanded its role in politics. If there's a joke going around in political circles that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is only the foreign minister of the country and that domestic matters are controlled by the RSS, it is not without basis. Almost all the governors appointed by the Modi government so far, are linked to the Sangh or believers in its ideology.
This is equally true of chief ministers such as Haryana's Manohar Lal Khattar. It is no secret that the RSS is fighting a political battle against the Congress and the Left through several of its arms.
The Parivar will, of course, deny all this. But look at some recent statements, on social media and otherwise, of some governors and you'll quickly get the connection.
Tripura's governor Tathagat Roy, who has not been exactly shy of flaunting his hyper-Hindutva credentials and 'Swayamsevak' background, courted controversy when he tweeted that people present at Yakub Memon's funeral were 'potential terrorists':
Governors ought to be concerned abt security of state. Intelligence keeping tab on Yakub's mourners is preventing terror. Better than cure
— Tathagata Roy (@tathagata2) July 31, 2015
Later, he tweeted:
@aruns_nambiar Whatever gave you the notion that I am secular? I am Hindu! My state,India,however is secular-since 1976
— Tathagata Roy (@tathagata2) September 7, 2015
He said he was misinterpreted.
Assam Governor PB Acharya courted controversy when he allegedly remarked 'Hindustan is for Hindus'. He claimed he was misquoted, but got embroiled in another controversy when he said Indian Muslims were free to go anywhere. "They can stay here (in India). If they want to go to Bangladesh or Pakistan, they are free to go..." It is possible they were quoted selectively, however, the fact that they raised topics close to the Parivar's heart conveys a lot.
Similar is the case of Vajubhai R Vala, Karnataka governor, who recently advised students in Mysuru to give up lipstick and fancy clothes, as they were coming to colleges for studies and not for beauty contests. It was not taken kindly by activists and women groups, even though it was meant in good humour. Such statements reflect the mindset associated with the Sangh.
The point is that while the governors are appointed on the basis of affiliation to the Sangh and are making political-ideological statements openly, what stops the RSS from coming out and clearly saying yes, we are a political organisation with a well-defined political goal? That would simplify a lot of matters in Indian politics. For example, it would make clear whether the BJP and the RSS think alike on policy and other matters or they are just deliberately confusing people by talking in different voices? Or whether the Sangh and the BJP support the activities of all elements of the Hindutva fraternity? Both have been running with hare and hunting with the hounds for long.
The arrangement of convenience would end if the Sangh made its role in politics public.
It cannot go on claiming it a socio-cultural organisation when most of its activities are political in nature by implication. Perhaps it's time someone asked it to end its double standards. It's good for the RSS too, since it won't be accused time and again for indulging in acts of political subterfuge and machinations, like in Arunachal Pradesh. It has denied any role but not many in the political circles are prepared to buy this denial.

Last Sunday I walked with my husband, my son and his girlfriend, as we joined 5000 other people in New York City, in the Walk to End Alzheimer's. As I approached the park my eyes seemed to swell, thinking about my mother.
I called her to say hello, and share with her, that I was walking in a park on a beautiful sunny day. I feared saying to her, that I was walking for Alzheimer's. I do not know if my mom knows what Alzheimer's is, or even that she has this disease, yet I could not bring myself to say the word. Regardless, mom was able to tell me in a cheerful voice to enjoy my walk, the park, as well as the rest of my day. As I hung up, I smiled thinking that she had just sounded like a woman, who did not have this disease.
She has been sounding remarkably good on our daily phone calls . The things that she has recently said, sounds as if she is at the moment reconnected . Instead of her saying that she cannot remember anything ,she has been expressing it so differently to me. She asked if I could remember what I just shared with her. She seemed to be defending herself, by stating that it was a very long time ago for her to be able to remember. When we spoke of other things she announced, that she just got a "mental block, or that it's right there on the tip of her tongue."
She seems to be reawakening. I heard her tell her caregiver Elaine, that she needed to loose some weight, since it was not good to be overweight. Elaine and I were intrigued by what she said just said. We were happy that she was aware and able to observe all of this. Just saying something as simple as this, brought smiles to our faces, as we giggled about what Ruthie had just expressed.
When I mentioned to her that my doctor's office measured me, and that my height now was, 5'3 1/2'' and I had shrunken from 5'4", she laughed and quickly said," don't be upset, you lost only a 1/2"." Her quick response left me with another smile and feeling lighthearted.
I found it interesting how she has reversed what I had said . Was she trying to transfer not remembering to me, as if it was a normal act in her life ? Can she be aware enough at this moment, to question me in reverse, as if to transfer her own feelings? All of this has left me wondering what could possibly be going on in her mind .
I guess I will never have an answer to this, and it will not make any difference. For me I want to take a few moments and try to "Imagine A World Without Alzheimer's." A world free of this dreadful disease. A world where our loved one's lives, cannot be stolen from them, as if they never existed.
Please join me in spreading awareness about Alzheimer's, so one day the world may be free of this horrific disease.

Tracks Dance offers studio 'Space and Time' to Northern Territory resident dance artists in order to investigate, explore and develop new ideas for dance performance. Up to 4 creative proposals will be supported each year via application. Our focus is on emerging and independent dance practitioners. SPACE TIME is a component of Tracks Dance Company's Dance Development Program.
SPACE TIME residencies can be for pure 'Blue Sky' research, or for creative development of new project ideas. SPACE TIME is for development projects that would clearly benefit from a residency in a fertile environment that supports the creation of new Northern Territory dance works. (A SPACE TIME residency is not for rehearsing a performance.)
The primary aim of SPACE TIME is to identify and support NT based dance makers of vision and excellence, and to provide a level of support and resources. We are interested in ensuring strong development outcomes both for the dance artists we support and for the work they create. Non-NT residents may apply if their application has at least one NT dance artist who will benefit.
SPACE TIME is one of the mechanisms that Tracks uses to identify and develop future collaborations and partnerships.
Applicants will be encouraged to seek additional support for their work and the securing of such will not be seen as an impediment to the granting of a SPACE TIME residency.
Successful residents are selected through an open application process assessed by the Tracks Artistic Directors and Dance Animateur. Applicants are encouraged to talk through their applications with the Artistic Director/s and or the Dance Animateur before submitting.
SPACE TIME has 3 tiers
1. Solar: 2 week residency (up to 80 hours) for dance artists with consolidated project ideas
2. Planetary: Up to 40 hours for dance artists with emerging project ideas
3. Nebula: Up to 20 hours for dance artists engaging in open research and practice exploration
All SPACE TIME residencies will be supported by the Tracks Dance team, who will provide assistance with the following as appropriate:
• induction session for all residents
• studio scheduling & co-ordination
• feedback & professional advice
• advocacy & promotion (via our website, social media, and newsletters, and media releases)
• future project 'mapping' if requested
• residency wrap-up including public presentation outcomes
• resident Artists will be covered by Tracks Inc.'s Public Liability and volunteer's workers compensation insurances for their scheduled dates and times.
• successful applicants will be contracted by Tracks Inc. for legal and safety purposes. However, the applicant remains the Producer of their work and is responsible for negotiating with any other artists involved in their residency.
• A clearly articulated and passionate vision with ideas that are bold, pressing, committed and relevant.
• Demonstrated plan of how a studio residency would be used to develop project ideas or pursue dance/movement research, including budgeting where appropriate.
• Suitably high standard of practice: Tracks will where necessary assist artistic initiators in identifying other potential collaborators.
• What are the development and professional practice opportunities for Northern Territory artists? (Tracks seeks to support artists that cultivate a thriving NT dance sector.)
• Who else would benefit from your residency? (Collaborating artists/dancers, community members, NT audiences)
• Tracks will, where appropriate, suggest ways to maximise the skills and profile development opportunities offered through the development.
• Tracks is particularly supportive of dance artists from Indigenous and Culturally diverse backgrounds.
• The potential to deliver quality artistic outcomes
• The use of NT Artists
• The experience of and/or potential benefit for the artists involved
• Top End dance sector development
• The potential to progress the project artistically, beyond a SPACE TIME residency
• Audience relevance – Does this development have potential to move towards performance?
• Does this project reflect contemporary expression of NT arts and culture?
The Tracks Rehearsal Studio is housed in the premises tenanted by Tracks Dance Company in the Frog Hollow Centre for the Arts, entered from the car park located at 56 McMinn Street, Darwin 0800.
