The hard-luck peoples of Easterville, Manitoba, scratch out livings any way they can. Some hunt in the Canadian wilderness like their forebears. Shelly Lynn Chartier allegedly did her fishing and trapping on the Internet.
That's where she snagged the Heat's Birdman.
Chartier is the 29-year-old trickster and Internet hacker who stands accused of nearly ruining the name of basketball player Chris Andersen, Miami's colorfully tattooed forward who became an unlikely star of the team's championship run in June. Next month, she is scheduled to appear before a court in her small Manitoba town facing charges of possessing and transmitting child pornography, personation, extortion and uttering threats. For about a year, she allegedly posed as Andersen and others on the Internet.
As the Miami Heat embarks on their new season and with his name cleared of any wrongdoing, Andersen is feeling enormous relief to have his personal nightmare behind him, says Mark Bryant, Andersen's attorney and agent. Andersen declined comment for this story, deferring to Bryant.
"Chris is very melancholy about it," said Bryant. "There's no celebration in being a victim."
The bizarre and complex tale of how Andersen went from cult icon with the Denver Nuggets, to having his Colorado home raided for suspicion of child pornography, to unemployed before the Heat took a chance on him and signed him last January begins with Chartier.
Bryant says authorities told him and Andersen that Chartier hacked his client's computer, assumed Andersen's identity on the Internet and then assumed the identity of a 17-year-old girl who had been sending Andersen fan mail. From there, according to Andersen's attorney, Chartier allegedly impersonated both Andersen and the 17-year-old and played one against the other in an effort to extort Andersen for money and gifts, including a Victoria's Secret wish list.
The Winnipeg Free Press newspaper reported that Chartier's mother, Delia, took to Facebook last week to defend her daughter. "I'm shaking my head in disbelief at how people around here are so quick to judge, when in fact they don't know the whole story," the mother wrote. "I love my daughter. I believe she's a good person."
Said Sgt. Line Karpish, a spokesperson for Royal Canadian Mounted Police, which arrested Chartier last January: "On the Internet, people do not always communicate with whom they think they're communicating with. I don't know how it is in Miami, but up here in Canada we have plenty of people always trying to find some way to scam you out of your money or your identity."
Chartier, who is out on bail until her court appearance, lives with her mother in a remote Canadian fishing village of less than 100 people. Easterville, a speck of nearly nothing on the shores of Cedar Lake, is populated by displaced First Nations people whose lives and culture and history were uprooted from their native lands in the 1960s to make room for a hydroelectric dam.
"You blink and miss it," Karpish said. "It's a small, small aboriginal community here."
It was there, in a little bedroom, in a little house, in a little hamlet that Chartier allegedly put into motion a Birdman-catfish-butterfly effect that started with a reply on Facebook but ended, after months of chain reactions that would astound even the most ardent subscribers of chaos theory, with Andersen clutching the Larry O'Brien Trophy inside AmericanAirlines Arena.
So, how exactly did she do it? How did Chartier impersonate two lovers at the same time and allegedly pull off what is known colloquially as a "catfish hoax" so complex that it makes the duping of former Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o seem mundane by comparison?
First, picture a triangle. Now picture Chartier representing the top of that triangle and Andersen and the 17-year-old representing opposite sides of the triangle's base. Bryant said all Internet information between Andersen and the teenager was controlled by Chartier, who hovered constantly like some grand Internet puppeteer.
She allegedly engineered the exchange of explicit photos between the 17-year-old—who authorities have not identified—and Andersen. Chartier, according to Bryant, later orchestrated a meeting between Andersen and the teen, who then flew to Colorado for a tryst with the Birdman. The legal age of consent in Colorado is 17.
The teenage girl then returned to her home in Los Angeles following her fling with an NBA star, and that's when things took another twist.
Chartier went back to work under her assumed identities, but this time she allegedly began threatening both Andersen and the teenager, according to Bryant.
Chartier allegedly sent graphic photos to the 17-year-old from Andersen's email account. Frightened of the threats she believed were being made by Andersen, the teenager went to the cops in California and implicated him. Police in California then contacted law enforcement authorities in Colorado because the photos were potentially evidence of child pornography.
That's when Andersen's world imploded.
Armed with a warrant of search and seizure, investigators raided Andersen's Colorado home in May of 2012. Andersen was playing for the Nuggets at the time and was in the middle of a playoff series against the Lakers. The Nuggets initially suspended Andersen from team activities and then later released him.
But Andersen was never charged with any crime. Instead, he suffered in limbo thinking that his basketball career might be over. People close to Andersen believed his story, that he did nothing wrong, but the investigation was a lengthy one and Andersen's reputation appeared ruined.
"You can imagine what this was like for (Andersen)," Bryant said. "Every eye you're looking at, you're thinking, 'Oh, does this person think I'm a pedophile?' He was never arrested. There was only a warrant executed on the house under the suspicion of child pornography."
After confiscating all of Andersen's computers and smart phones, including his X-Box, Douglas County, Colorado, authorities with Internet Crimes Against Children Unit hit a dead end in its investigation of Andersen. Nothing incriminating could be linked to any of his electronics.
"They weren't finding the IP address they were looking for," Bryant said.
Bryant says police in Colorado learned fairly early on that Andersen wasn't to blame, but asked for cooperation from Andersen not to talk about the case while the true culprit was being unearthed.
"It just kept getting more bizarre," Bryant said.
That's because the entire scam allegedly was being pulled off from somewhere in Manitoba, Canada. The Colorado investigators eventually got wise to the ruse and contacted Canada's Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The Mounties took it from there. Chartier was arrested on Jan. 15. Andersen signed with the Heat on Jan. 20.
"They did their risk assessment," Bryant said of the Heat. "I flew down there and told them what I knew: 'I can tell you, he didn't do anything wrong.' Holy hallelujah for the guru Pat Riley."
Last week, Bryant went on a media blitz to clear Andersen's name before the start of training camp, which begins Tuesday in the Bahamas. The Douglas County District Attorney's office also released a statement confirming that it was not pursuing charges of any kind against Andersen.
Bryant said investigators for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Douglas County had contacted him during the Heat's playoff run to schedule a meeting with Andersen and explain how he was duped. To avoid causing an unwanted distraction for the team, Bryant said he and Andersen delayed their meeting until after the post-season.
"Seven or 10 days after the championship he's unhappy as hell," Bryant said of Andersen. "He's like, 'Dude, I want my name back,' and I said, 'Dude, that's my championship. I'm getting your name back.'"
At the meeting with the case's investigators, a constable with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and a Douglas County detective explained with charts and graphics how Andersen was scammed.
"He and I kept looking at each other like, 'What and what and what?'" Bryant said. "Chris is looking at this chart and saying, 'Why am I over here?' and he's just shaking his head and I said, 'Dude, they couldn't make this - - - - up.'"

Catalpa notes
June 21 will be Father's Day and I wish a happy day for all the fathers. I will write more about them next week.
Several of our events have taken place and the weather was nice for most of them.
The Morgan School (1885-1949) and Petersburg High School (1950-1970) Reunion had a beautiful day Saturday, June 6, with a good attendance of around 220, I have been told. I didn't make it there this year for the first time since the first reunion. I always had gone with Doyle and he never missed one until 2006. He passed away Aug. 13, 2006, and he really loved going to the reunion. I enjoyed helping register every year until this year. The Petersburg High School did a fine job this year with the registration starting at 10 a.m., the welcome at 10:15, lunch at noon, announcements, awards, and Alma Mater, and 2 p.m. visitation with friends. I'm sorry not to have all the day's awards, etc.
According to the In Memoriam, 30 people, who were alumni or friends of the schools, have passed on since last year, 2008. Doylene had to work, but Janice was there and I appreciate so many asking her about me, and still reading my column, with some getting it online and enjoying it.
We enjoyed going to the Petersburg Senior Center on Railroad Street Saturday evening from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. There was a crowd there to enjoy the delicious food and to hear the Melody Five of Rogersville, Alabama's gospel singing. They donated their time and talent and this was greatly appreciated. Over $560 was taken in and the Senior Citizens wish to thank all who attended and helped make the event the success it was.
Next Saturday, June 13, will be another great day in Petersburg: the 5th Annual Chicken Festival by the Lions Club. They are planning this year's festival to be bigger and better at Lions Pride Park (formerly the football field of Morgan School).
The music portion of the festival will be greatly enjoyed with four bluegrass groups entertaining the crowd, beginning at noon. The evening will begin at 7 p.m. Many games and contests will be taking place and the winners will receive good pay for winning. Seeing is believing, so be sure to be there for the Chicken Festival.
Another great event on the square in Petersburg June 13, beginning at 6:30 p.m., will be Old Glory Celebration. Free hot dogs and hamburgers. Take your lawn chair and listen to bluegrass music; all musicians will be welcome until 9 p.m. when there will be a professional fireworks display by Michael Head.
I hope the weather will be nice and many people will enjoy the good food, good music, and good fellowship with friends and neighbors who are supportive and proud of Petersburg.
The Church of Christ at Howell invites everyone to a Gospel Meeting from June 14 to 17. Bill Cantrell will be the speaker.
Bledsoe (Po-Grab) Church of Christ invites everyone to a Gospel Meeting, also from June 14 to 17. The speaker will be Stan Butt. Services Sunday: 10:30 a.m. with lunch afterwards and another service at 2 p.m. (no night service). Monday through Wednesday, the service time will be 7 p.m.
Robertson Fork Church of Christ will also have a Gospel Meeting from June 14 to 18. Paul Sain will be the speaker. I'm sorry to not know the time of the services, but I think it will be 7 p.m. each night.
Cornersville Vacation Bible School will be from June 14 to 18. Time: 6:30 to 8 p.m.; the theme: "Fishing with the Master." There will be classes for all ages. The adult speakers will be: Sunday, Charles Hardison; Monday, Rick Rolin; Tuesday, John Tracy; Wednesday, Benny Burns; Thursday, Corey Barnette. Ice cream after Sunday night service; Thursday night picnic at 5 p.m.
The Diana Singing will be Friday and Saturday nights (June 12 and 13) at 7:30 p.m. This will be the 40th anniversary of the Diana Singing.
Our Sunday morning at Catalpa was low. Several were out due to sickness, or sickness in the family. Jeff Pack preached at Delina Sunday morning, but came back to Catalpa Sunday evening.
Last Sunday, June 7, was our 32nd anniversary with Bro. and Sister Carpenter. Mr. and Mrs. Meriel Pack were hosts to lunch for them at Horton Park Restaurant. In the afternoon they all visited Mrs. Williams, Tony's mother, in Oakwood Nursing Home. Tony and Melissa were called to the home Sunday due to his mother's serious illness. Let us all remember her with prayers. Mrs. Tammie Kellar was not able to be at our Sunday services. Teri Lyn Pack continues to not come to services due to health reasons.
I hope we can attend the gospel meetings in progress. Some from Catalpa went to the Vacation Bible School at Farmington. We were so glad to go hear Milton Stephens of Lynnville Tuesday night, and so proud he is recovering satisfactorily from a recent heart attack. Our prayers are for him to keep improving. He is a good preacher and song leader.
On Sunday Doylene, Janice and I went to Lincoln Care Center to visit my sister-in-law Verna Sawyers. She is doing much better and is well satisfied there, we are happy to report.
We attended the visitation at Bills-McGaugh Funeral Home Thursday evening from 4 to 8 p.m. for Mrs. Georgia Williams. Georgia was our closest neighbor on Delina Road. She died Tuesday, June 2, at Maury Regional Medical Center at the age of 89. Her funeral was Friday morning from the chapel of Bills-McGaugh Funeral Home, with burial beside her first husband in Woodlawn Memorial Park.
The obituary was in Friday's paper, so I won't repeat it, but I do want to extend loving sympathy to her loved ones. She was a fine lady and a member of the Baptist Church. Her many friends and loved ones will miss her greatly, but will have precious memories to cherish of Georgia. She was a fine neighbor. May the Lord bless and comfort all her loved ones. She lived a good, long, useful life.
We have had several deaths to write about recently. In times like these the clouds are heavy and we can't understand the wisdom of God's way, and though today the way seems dark and lonely - may God send courage and faith to strengthen those bowed down in sorrow. I wrote about Robbie Lynn Sowell's death, and her obituary has come out so we can read it, but love and sympathy go out to her loved ones. May the Lord bless and comfort them. Robbie was a good Christian lady, loved by all who knew her. She formerly lived in Petersburg. She and the late Sarah Mae Hastings Williams were real close friends. She was a sister of Dot Hastings, our hairdresser.
Also to the family of Arliss Haislip, age 51, sympathy. He was the son of Frank and Nannie McCory Haislip. Mr. Frank of Petersburg is his survivor, also six sisters and five brothers. The obituary was in the Elk Valley Times, as well as in the Tribune. His funeral was May 27 from the chapel of Gallant-Riverview Funeral Home in Fayetteville with Paul Ray King II officiating. Burial was in Talley Cemetery. The Haislip family formerly lived for several years near Delina. Arliss worked for the Harden Construction Company, and he was a native of Marshall County. He will be missed by his family and friends from the town of Petersburg.
The many friends of Wayne "Boonie" Winsett are praying for his recovery from a fall. He has always been a good friend to us. Doyle loved him and we are so sad over his condition. I appreciate Mr. Tom Sumners for keeping me posted as to his condition.
Now for the recipes.

How Do I Value My Pain and Suffering?
A personal injury accident often causes physical and emotional or mental injuries. Anyone who doubts that these mental or emotional injuries are real and traumatic need only consider the depression that can set in when a person realizes that he or she is no longer able to participate in his or her favorite pastime. Or the trauma and fear that a person experiences any time he or she sits in a car after having been seriously injured in a car accident. Compensation for these mental injuries are often pursued in personal injury cases (under the name, "pain and suffering" damages). Do you know how to go about proving not only the existence of these injuries but also their extent?
Proving Pain and Suffering Damages
In some cases, the existence of mental or emotional injuries is easy to prove. Records from therapists and counselors consulted after the accident often provide a clear picture of the extent and nature of the victim's mental or emotional trauma. Where a counselor or therapist was not consulted, family, friends, neighbors, and/or coworkers (for instance) can all attest to their personal observations of the victim following the accident. This group of lay witnesses will also be necessary to talk about the victim's life and demeanor prior to the accident. For example, a friend may testify that the victim used to be lively and active and would never miss her morning run. The friend may then testify that, since the accident, the victim rarely leaves her living room, is always downcast and sullen when with others, and only talks about how much she misses running.
Therefore, when proving the existence of pain and suffering damages, it is usually necessary to establish the attitude, activities, and demeanor of the victim before the accident as well as the changes that have taken place since the accident occurred. The greater the disparity between these two periods of the victim's life, the easier it will be to establish pain and suffering.
Proving the Value of Pain and Suffering Damages
The value of pain and suffering damages is much more difficult to determine as it is so personal. How much is a constant ache that won't go away worth? What amount of money adequately compensates someone who is now in constant fear of getting into an automobile? These are intensely personal questions that will differ from case to case. The "cost" of an ache or pain to a young and formerly-healthy victim who was active may be different from the "cost" of that same ache or pain to an elderly individual who had previous mobility problems.
Unless a statute limits the amount of "pain and suffering" damages that can be sought, victims are free to pursue pain and suffering damages in any amount they believe is supported by the evidence. The greater the difference between the victim's life before the injury accident and the victim's life since the accident, the greater the amount of pain and suffering damages the victim can recover (generally speaking, of course).

Lawless possesses the experience and knowledge necessary to help you properly value your "pain and suffering" damages. He will help you to understand what amount of pain and suffering damages is realistic in your case and will fight aggressively and zealously to help you obtain an amount that fairly compensates you. He can assist you in locating the evidence and individuals you need to help prove the existence and extent of your pain and suffering damages. Contact the office of Michael R.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
On January 10, 2018, Judge Alsup of the Northern District of California issued a preliminary injunction in Regents of the University of California, et al. V. Department of Homeland Security requiring USCIS to resume accepting certain DACA applications. See our practice advisory for more information. We will continue to provide updates to this resource page as developments arise. Resources will include in-depth legal analysis, practice advisories, program tools and community outreach materials.
Parish Resources
Since the Trump administration rescinded DACA, several states, universities and non-profits have filed lawsuits challenging the rescission and termination. Here are the updates so far.
This practice advisory, written for legal service providers, answers common questions about applying for DACA in light of the ongoing lawsuits challenging the rescission of DACA and the DACA program and resulting court orders. It includes current practice tips and will be updated as legal developments evolve.
In the upcoming weeks, two federal courts are expected to issue decisions that could impact the acceptance of DACA requests. Following an August 8th hearing, a preliminary injunction from a Texas court could prevent the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) from continuing to accept DACA renewal requests.
This bilingual (English/Spanish) screening tool can help legal services providers assess whether a DACA recipient is eligible to request renewal.
Resources for legal practitioners
As the future of DACA recipients remains uncertain, practitioners who work with DACA recipients should explore permanent relief options for this vulnerable population.
The Trump Administration's September 5, 2017 DACA rescission has left DACA recipients in limbo and prompted many questions on what comes next for this vulnerable population.

Was your DACA client's renewal application erroneously rejected despite timely submission on or before the October 5, 2017 deadline?
In this webinar, we discuss the latest guidance on how to resubmit DACA renewals that were erroneously rejected. We review how to rectify DACA renewals rejected due to USCIS lockbox error or US Postal Service mail-service delays. Using different case scenarios, we discuss when and how to resubmit, what to include in the resubmission packet, and how to advise clients facing a lapse in deferred action.
Learn about screening DACA recipients for Special Immigration Juvenile Status eligibility.
The future of DACA remains uncertain and it's imperative to screen DACA recipients for other forms of immigration relief. This practice advisory, written for legal service providers, reviews common forms of relief that may be available to current and former DACA holders.
The Trump Administration has announced an end to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). This webinar explores what we know about the policy so far and how it affects your clients.

Last updated 9/7/2017
The Trump administration announced Sept. 5, 2017 that it is ending Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. DACA provides temporary protection from deportation and work authorization for certain young people who were brought to the U.S. as children.
President Donald Trump's decision to phase out DACA is "a heartbreaking disappointment," said Jeanne Atkinson, executive director of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc.
Here are several ways you can take action right now to defend Dreamers.
Other useful resources
The president's Jan. 25, 2017 executive orders on border and immigration enforcement effectively put more than 11 million undocumented and other immigrants living in the U.S. at risk of detention and deportation. As a result, families at risk face challenges and difficult decisions in preparing for the possibility of being separated from one another. Planning to ensure children (as well as other dependents) and financial assets are taken care of is crucial but preparation can be complex.

The past week has been interesting to say the least. I was travelling for work all week, luckily staying in one place … Berkeley, CA. The weather there was great and this was week one of the two week taper. I wanted to try and run between 50 and 55 miles and was doing well. Got my track workout in Monday morning before my flight, then managed 7 miles Tuesday morning and 5 on Wednesday. That left 5 to 7 for Friday, late dinner Wednesday meant Thursday wasn't going to be an option.
Well Friday wasn't an option either. I woke up not feeling great on Thursday and by lunch was in bad shape, couldn't keep lunch down so I took a bite and decided that instead of staying at work for what was a really interesting discussion with a professor at Berkeley I needed some rest. So back to the hotel to take a nap and see if I could get something to stay down. What did stay down was a small pack of pringles and some water. Managed to eat a full dinner which was good and felt better as the day continued on Friday. It's safe to say that mentally on Thursday night and Friday morning I was a little freaked out given the Portland marathon was just over a week away.
Saturday was a 16 mile long run. Good run, under control and no pushing of pace at all. Today was the Silicon Labs Marathon Relay. Larry wants to compete in the distance challenge and the race is required, the time doesn't count but you have to run it … so we decided to use the race for our Sunday recovery run. I needed 10 miles so warm-up, my 10k leg and then just run a 5k leg. Pace was consistent and at 7:30 minutes/mile. I wasn't planning on running hard at all and it was nice that 7:30 minute/mile pace just felt natural, this is on the faster end of what my easy paces have been this season. The legs may be tuning up well for the race in 7 days. Portland … Team Rogue is a comin'!
On another note … Jason ran his race today in Toronto and ran a comfortable 3:09:56 to get his Boston Qualifier!

The past few days, I haven't really been doing that much work, so I've had this little biting feeling that I needed to make the most of my current time by boosting my productivity. However, I was also hit with a slump, completely ruminating over something that I couldn't possibly fix. Whenever I opened up my blog, I just couldn't do anything, because my mind wasn't into it, it was focused on something else.
I think that the thing about self-love is that there is a thin line between taking some time off for your own mental health and taking some time off just because you don't feel like doing anything. The main counter-argument against taking mental health days is that it's just being lazy and is not a sufficient enough excuse to take the day off. However, mental health days can be extremely effective, as they allow you to recharge so that you can be even more productive in the future, can help you to feel better and happier, and can benefit your health, that is, your mental health, which is just as important as physical health.
Related: 6 Signs That You Are In Need of a Mental Health Day - Huffington Post
However, while I highly believe that mental health days can be miracles to your well-being, I do understand how it could potentially be a slippery slope, which is why some people are wary of them.
That's why I believe that it's important to be able to know and understand the differences between taking a mental health day and just taking the day off because you're lazy. By doing so, you can be more sure that your mental health day is truly a mental health day, without the added guilt of "what if I'm just being lazy". So here's how to differentiate between the two.
Mental health days are planned.A mental health day should be something that you plan around your schedule in order to ensure that you get that recharge time, but that recharge time doesn't conflict with any important meetings/events/responsibilities. This means that you consider when you can take the day off that won't be work-heavy. Maybe you have an exam on Tuesday, so don't pick Tuesday to take the day off. Maybe pick Wednesday, when you have a light schedule.
Mental health days aren't excuses to skip a work-heavy day, but carefully planned days in order to recharge while still being able to attend to your responsibilities.
Mental health days are planned in order to get the positive benefits of recharging without restricting any of your other responsibilities, whereas being just plain lazy means that you don't consider the ramifications, just picking any day to take off that you feel like not showing up for, maybe even avoiding some of your big responsibilities by taking the day off.
Mental health days are taken when you feel intense anxiety, but taking a lazy day is taken for the opposite reason.When I'm lazy, I have absolutely unwilling to put in effort into anything, even things that might have fast-approaching deadlines. Somehow, I'm completely at ease, even though there are probably a million things that I should be thinking about. However, on the other hand, when you need to take a mental health day, you might be feeling intense stress and/or anxiety about everything, even the things that are far in advance and you probably don't need to worry about yet.
Related: How to Know When it's Time to Take a Mental Health Day
Mental health days are for when you're losing sight of yourself.When you take a mental health day, you're trying to grab onto feeling like yourself again, maybe that means through doing activities that you usually love and haven't really been feeling lately or by sitting down and engaging in some mindfulness. On the other hand, when you're just being lazy, there's no reason to be taking the day off, there's no purpose for it. Mental health days have the purpose of recharging you so that you can feel like yourself again.
Mental health days are purposeful. Laziness is not.
Mental health days are for when you are losing sleep to the point of poor performance.Often, we take mental health days to catch up on some sleep. However, what seems "lazy" about that is that you're spending more time in bed rather than actually getting things done. However, the thing about sleeping during your mental health day is that you're catching up on that sleep that you had been losing for days. Let's say every day during the week, you've been coming in, totally sleep-deprived, to the point that you could not focus and produced poor work.

By having that day to recharge and catch some Zs, you are able to come back and give your best efforts into your work. However, being lazy just means spending extra time in bed, just because you don't want to put any effort into work. A mental health day of sleep is an investment for your future productivity while being lazy and sleeping the days away for no reason is the refusal of productivity.

so, i have the new job at pitt. i got my ID last night. now i have a december bus pass i don't need and a november bus pass that i don't need and will be valid for another week or so. i'm looking to sell the december bus pass, if i don't hear anything here by this weekend, i'll probably post to craigslist or something.
the story:
while i was working for the county, i got a monthly bus pass taken out of my pay pre-tax. unfortunately, this meant that it had to come out several weeks before i received my pass (first pay period of the previous month). so, this means that my bus pass was paid for on november 14
the offer:
so, normally, PAT bus passes cost $60.00. since i had it taken out pre-tax, i technically paid a little less. i'm willing to sell it for around $50.00. if you are interested, please comment on this post. thank you.
edit 11-27-2006: bus pass put up on craigslist:
edit 11-27-2006: bus pass sold.
Current Location: work
i feel: hopeful

Juggling John - Children's Entertainer for 3-4 year olds
Juggling John provides entertainment for a huge range of events and for all age groups. He is a specialist in childrens parties. Because he is aware that different things appeal to different age groups he has adapted his party packages accordingly.
Most 3-4 year olds are at the stage where they get really excited about going to parties, and then get a bit nervous when they arrive! More often than not a parent or carer will need to stay with them, at least for the beginning, and they will probably watch the first bit whilst clinging to a comforting leg.
After a while they warm up and get totally involved with everyone else. Bearing this in mind, John has developed his 3-4 year old parties to start gently so that the children can get used to him and get to know him. As they begin to warm up, he introduces slapstick and silliness which they just love. Then there follows puppets, juggling and magic. By the end of the party they are all totally involved and buzzing.
At this age John tends to leave out the dangerous sword and fire tricks, but some parents and their 4 year olds insist on a bit of fire juggling at the end! Other parents are horrified at the idea. It all depends on your child's experience and temperament. John is very flexible and is happy to accomodate your preferences.
Two hours is the ideal length of time for a kids' party. Think very carefully if you are thinking do doing anything longer than that. Juggling John has a range of options for 3-4 year olds designed to fit into a 2 hour time slot:
Juggling John's parties have 3 elements which can be combined to make 4 different party packages. The elements are:
- A. a 45 minute show including juggling, magic, balancing, mime, clowning and puppetry.
- B. a 15 minute fire juggling and fire eating show (has to be outside - possible at most venues)
- C. a 45 minute dancing and circus skills session (age appropriate)
The possible combinations are:
- 1. "A" - the 45 minute show
- 2. "AB" - show with fire at the end - total time 1 hour
- 3. "ABC" - dancing and circus skills followed by show with or without fire - total time 1 hr 30 mins
- 4. "ABCtea" _- dancing and circus skills, break for tea, then show (with or without fire) - John will be with you for 2 hours but with a break at tea time
Obviously, option 1 is the cheapest package and 4 is the most expensive. Please contact us for a quote for your particular situation.
Juggling John has all required police checks, is a member of Equity and has full public liability insurance.

Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
On-screen volume indicators are handy, but surprisingly they're not actually part of Windows. We'll look at alternatives.
I am running Windows XP home edition on a new Gateway notebook (Model MX7515). My Gateway desktop and older laptop both indicate the volume on the screen by showing green vertical bars (the same as on most TVs). My new notebook changes the volume while pressing the increase and decrease buttons on the keyboard, but there are no green vertical bars on my screen, so I don't know how high or low the volume is.
Those on-screen displays are kinda handy. I have something similar on my desktop, including the volume up/down controls on my keyboard. Quite nice.
But on my laptop? No such luck. I'm in the same boat you are.
The "problem" is that those volume indicators are not part of Windows. They're actually added by some of the additional software installed on your machine. Typically they're installed by the keyboard software for keyboards that include volume controls.
Things get a little more complicated with laptops, because they may have dedicated volume control keys, or they may have key-combinations that perform the same function. The manufacturer of the keyboard software may, or may not, elect to include an on-screen display.
It gets even more confusing, because when you purchase the same type of equipment from the same manufacturer, you might expect it to have the same feature set. Two laptops from Gateway, for example, separated by a couple of years, for example. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Even within models separated by less time, manufacturers are typically always on the look-out for better or less expensive hardware components, and if it doesn't make a substantial difference in functionality, even the same model of machine might come with different, though similar, components from several manufacturers. And needless to say, the supporting software included with those components might be different.
The only real advice I have is to check the control panel applets for both your keyboard and sound card. Look around for options that might control the on-screen display. There are so many different manufacturers that it's possible that some allow you some control, and perhaps default it off.
Past that, I'd check with the manufacturer's support to find out if your specific model even has this feature.
Article C2583 - March 6, 2006 « »
All of my systems, regardless of desktop or laptop, version of Windows, and sound card maker, have a checkbox in the control panel's "sounds" properties labeled "place volume icon in the taskbar" or "show volume control on the taskbar". Perhaps some sound cards don't have that option?
Actually this isn't about the taskbar. This is about a volume indicator that pops up over your screen, usually near the bottom. Typically a LED - simultion of a volume bar.
Oops. I read that in the original post, but somehow forgot it when reading your reply.
Now, I know at least one of these systems has a control panel entry to control the on-screen-display, because I know I've seen a color/font/size adjustment somewhere. If only I could remember where...
I had two HP machines that had this on it so maybe it is an HP computer as none of my other machines have this feature. Although, I liked it so much that I found an alternative, which is volumouse which can be found with a google search and offers change of volume with the mouse wheel button + a specified key , for example holding the mouse over the task bar while scrolling the middle mouse button - works great on XP.
What should I do if my laptop used to display those bars when I changed the volume, but now it no longer does. I still have the small volume control icon in my taskbar, but when i adjust the volume it no longer tells me what level I am at. I checked in both volume control and keyboard settings under the control panel, but neither seemed to have anything that helped.
i had the same problem too, i finally was able to download and install Dell Quickset, and that took care of it, you can download it here
I have the same problem with volume indicators but I have a Compaq Notebook Evo N620c.
i just got a new computer 2 days ago, the volume indicator on the screen worked fine until i installed norton securites on it and now it doesnt display. i have uninstalled it but still no luck. i will try http://ftp.us.dell.com/app/R97343.EXE and owe you if it fixes it mazzy
i have a sony viao pcg grt 25 laptop.
the volume controls do not work and i dont have the volume bars that should be displayed on the screen.
i have to increase and decrease the sound via the speaker icon in the bottom right hand corner of the task bar.
please help me to rectify this problem.
That's exactly what the article you just commented on talks about. You might want to read it.
i understand what you are saying, but should i still go to the dell site although im using a sony viao? im not that experienced with the technical side of computing as this is all new to me.
Go the site for the manufacturer of your computer. So in your case, then, the Sony site.
yes, you can still download the dell quickset on any computer whether its a dell or not. good luck
Hey if you want a great OSD volume indicator download IntelliType Pro 5.5 Keyboard Software for Windows. Just install the program and chose a random keyboard if you do not have a microsoft keyboard. You can get to the intellitype download by clicking the link below:
That dell quickset application worked perfectly on my Dell Inspiron 9300 :-D Thanks!!
Microsofts IntelliType is an ok application but going through all of the options and disabling all of the hotkeys just to use the on screen volume indicator seems a bit much. I'm fine with using the dell one with my Inspiron 6000 =P
intellitype 5.5 download worked perfectly
on my gateway computer! Thanks for the link.
I have just bought a Compaq laptop with volume control buttons and it was strange to find that there were no green bars present. I use a logitech tilt wheel mouse most of the time and found wheelsofvolume .........http://fuzlez.com/content/view/50/90 ,,works very well. This had little effect on how the tilt wheel was set up. OK if you use a mouse with a wheel but the volume buttons on the notebook did not work with it.
Hi *,
Have a laptop HP/Compaq nc8000. Just installed the SW from Microsoft regarding the volume indicator. It works great. Thanks for the tip Mitch.
The intellitype pro 5.5 worked great on my Compaq Evo n620c. I selected the generic multimedia keyboard and it didn't mess with any of my multimedia buttons I already had setup and did give me the onscreen volume indicator I was looking for.
TechRepublic has a volume indicator that works well - supports hotkeys as well - membership to site is free. Program is called Sound Volume Hotkeys - here's the link:
I ran into this problem myself. Here is what worked for me.
Laptop model: HP nx7000
Software that worked: IntelliType Pro 6.1
Can be downloaded from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=df48e271-8973-4f20-8c16-252dfb7d8f9e&DisplayLang=en
Cost: FREE
If you're using Windows XP Media Center Edition (possibly XP Pro too) file responsible for showing OS volume indicator is ehtray.exe
located in: C:\WINDOWS\ehome . Try adding it to Auto-start menu / 'Run' key in registry.
This will probably work only if your OSD volume indicator was working before and disappeared at some point.
The Dell Quickset fixed my On-Screen Display volume indicator problems! Thanks so much to Mazzy who suggested it!!! Forums are great!
Just got a new DV9320, and ran into the same annoying problem with no volume indicators/ onscreen display. I searched the web, found this site, and YES. The MS Intellitype Pro 6.1 for Vista works just fine for my laptop. Just picked the generic multimedia keyboard and no problems with my current multimedia functions.
Thanks Shamim.
That Dell Quickset tip sorted my OSD problems on my Inspiron 6000. Hadn't worked for ages and Dell Support were totally useless. Cheers guys!
if you have an Acer notebook you need to reinstall the Launch Manager...you do this by going to the Acer program "Empowering Technology"
start this program & click on eRecovery Management...type in the default password which is six zeros...click enter
on the next screen click the button that says "Recovery actions: blah,blah,blah" and click next...
on the next screen click the button for reinstall applications/drivers and click next
a window should pop up that has three things you can click on...contents, install, and guide...click on install
on the next screen you will see Windows XP on the left side of the screen...click that to expand it (works like a folder tree)...next click utility...then click launch manager...then click Install Launch Manager Now
it will ask you to restart...go ahead and restart and it should restore the "on screen volume display."
worked for me, hopefully it will work for you.
Here is EXACTLY what everyone is looking for:
It is linked as a .GIF but it is really a .ZIP
Right click and 'Save as' to your desktop, and then rename the supposed .GIF to a ZIP file and unzip it. You can install the files anywhere, then just put a shortcut to the .EXE file in your startup folder and you will have an on-screen volume indicator that was originally part of Microsoft's Media Center. The whole thing is less than 75Kb and the ONLY thing it does is display the volume in a green bar-graph at the bottom of the screen and also displays the word MUTE when the sound is muted.
I have a similar but diffirent "problem" - I want to get RID of the green indicators (volume and mute...) pleeeeeze...
Well Jonas, I know how to get RID of it by mistake! I turned off some "services" using services.msc to free up system resources (based on some on-line recommendations) and it's gone. As soon as I figure out which one did it, and get it back, I'll post it. :-) I'm running XP media center 2005.
I was disabling services and startup programss and accedently disabled ehtray.exe but now I put it back and it works great! Thanks!!
I used to have on screen volume control on my HD TD,thru Time Warner, then it's freakin gone. Is there some magic way of resetting it? I have tried everything they suggested,from one of those sweat shops in India, they may have told me, but who can understand? I'll buy TWO Lattes. Thanks, Larry
I still have NO answer to my problem! I have an HD tv, thru Time Warner Cable. How do I re-code something, to get the on-screen volume cont. that I used to have? Help me, and the Joe will come.
Thanks, I seem to have one of the only Dells which doesn't have a quickset app for it, but the IntelliType worked like a charm! The version I got was the 6.1 and I selected the Wired Keyboard 500 and it worked! Thanks!
This is not big deal, I mean , if you have the controls in windows, why I need do I need a bar to see the volume??????? I don't understand the consumer point of view and I never will.
The indicator bars were an add on feature from the Multi-Function Keyboard. When I purchased my computer it had Windows ME, and the keyboard volume control would show the green indicator bars on the lower right hand corner of the screen, a very nice feature over the audio icon in the task bar that isn't always displayed. At any rate, when I was forced to change the operating system to Windows XP, I lost the on screen indicators. YOU CAN CORRECT THIS BY GOING TO HP Upgrade Keyboard, and download the following file: SP26752. This will reinstall the volume indicator bars that change with the volume control knob on the keyboard. The bars will now be a gray color instead of green. (No big deal to me).
To bring back the green volume indicator, go to Control Panel>Keyboard>Key Settings>scroll down to bottom and highlight Volume>hit EDIT, check the box, problem solved. The volume indicators ARE part of windows.
well, that tip from kevin foster doesn't work because i clicked the link and the i got a page not found error. where was the link for the .gif (or .zip) moved to? i really want that volume indicator. yes, i tried that R97343.exe and no, it doesn't work because i don't have a dell. the installer fails. intellitype doesn't look anything like the volume indicator i had. mine was green bars in the bottom center of my screen and had the word "Volume" above it. it was far more useful than the stupid crap that comes with windows.
The on-screen green-colored volume & brightness indicator which previously appeared on my laptop suddenly gone since last two days... I did follow the way suggested by Manpauly but my ACER laptop does not have Key Setting inside the Keyboard page..
Really wish that anyone who have idea about this and teach me as soon as possible as it's really inconvenient without the on-screen indicators.
Actually, as far as Volume indication goes, almost any OSD application should do (that doesn't apply for, say, brightness indication).
Since I bought a Dell notebook, where this job was performed by a really ugly QuickSet application, I've been looking for its replacement.
My personal choice was to install Microsoft's IntelliType Pro drivers, but that is, uhm, illegal, since I don't have that keyboard. However, apparently there are freeware applications that do this task, for example this one called WN Volume OSD.
I have the same missing volume level indicator bars on my IBM T42....had em, then they disappeared...anyone? Cheers
I've been using volume display: http://volumedisplay.com/
ands it's worked out pretty good for me so far. Looks slick too.
I was having problems with my volume indicator display having disappeared after 3 years. I have an HP running Windows XP and I even contacted HP customer support and they couldn't help me either. During a google search I ran across this site and I did the suggestion of searching for ehtray.exe and clicked on it and voila! Thanks for all your help!
I have had the trouble of trying to get it them back as well. I'm on a Dell 1525 Inspiron and I believe that Norton is the culprit. Not sure how they do it, but it stopped when I installed. I now do not have Dell Quickset at all (if I do I can't find it) and I can't seem to reinstall. :\
i do not have a green volume indicator i have a small icon bottom rght of screen ost how do i get it back? thanks much.....
I had same problem - green volume level indicator disappeared. Running WinXP MCE.
Googled this site, found suggestion of searching for ehtray.exe and clicked on it and now it's back.
Got it! well at least for the OSD of volume in Windows Vista. Little green bars at bottom of screen on Acer 5720. C:\Program Files\Launch Manager\LManager.exe
I had disabled "Launch Manager" in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runusing msconfig.exe
For Dell users download and install dell Quickset from Dell site. Search it from onsite Seach option. The volume and brightness OSD will reappear.
I downloaded all the drivers i needed including the on screen green volume display bar but i had to format my laptop ive still got the driver but cant seem to get it working again

"Homemade" Chocolate That Will Make You Feel Fabulous
I was having one of those days when it felt like every other woman in the world was doing something more interesting, more glamorous and more important than I was.
Mostly what I'd been doing for the past 8 hours was trying to get my toddler to use a tissue and not stick a finger directly into her nose. She has a little cold and thus, a stuffy nose, and she is violently opposed to me assisting in the removal of snot in any way. A friend of mine calls it "death by kleenex" and that's exactly how O reacts every time I come at her with a tissue or try to get her to use one.
I'm realizing that two is an awkward age – no longer a baby, but definitely not a kid yet. If she were a baby, I would suction her nose or at least be able to wipe it. If she were a bigger kid, she could blow her own nose. Until now, I'd never thought about the fact that blowing your nose is a skill that takes time to master. I spent a solid five minutes demonstrating a successful nose blow to O and she just looked at me the whole time like I was trying to teach her a calculus equation.
On one hand, it's really rewarding and amazing to be teaching a tiny human basic survival skills. On the other hand, repeating the phrase "please don't wipe your booger on the curtains" seven thousand times a day can drive you mad.
What would I rather be doing?
I'd rather be sending out inspiring newsletters about "cross-disciplinary interestingness and combinatorial creativty" like the woman I read about in the New York Times. That misspelling of "creativity" is hers, not mine, but she lives in Brooklyn and therefore is very cool and smart. Which makes me think that I am so uncool and out of touch that the misspelling is probably on purpose for some very hip reason that my mom-mind can no longer grasp.
Or maybe instead of wiping a snotty nose all day I could be attending a chic cookie party, like the one featured in Bon Appetit this month. Or opening a little gourmet shop and then a restaurant, like a woman did over the past two years in my neighborhood. Or doing everything all those crafty women keep pinning on Pinterest.
I decided to make myself feel even worse by reading a few of the blogs that I follow. Surely, these super-women had been blogging like crazy and cooking amazing meals and sharing it all through brilliant prose and gorgeous photos. As I hopped from one blog to another I felt a giant wave of both happiness and relief. Posts hadn't been updated for weeks, or some cases, a month! I was more in love with the blogs than ever. You might think the authors were doing nothing at all. But I knew better. As one woman put it, "Blogging has fallen to the bottom of the list of things I get to do after I get everything else done. Because I never do get everything else done, I don't blog."
I have to admit, I'm always a little bit suspicious of mom-bloggers who consistently update their site. You can look like a brilliant mother online, but we all know that you can't be on your computer constantly updating your blog while simultaneously paying real attention to your child. I also know that if you're blogging, you aren't using your free time away from work and kids to do other crucial tasks like showering, or emptying the overflowing recycling bin under your kitchen sink or buying your brother a birthday gift (sorry, Kev) or researching how to set up a living trust like I've been meaning to do for a year.
But listen, there's no reason that like me, you have to admit to whole world that you don't have time to be as fabulous as all the other women out there. If you bring these homemade chocolate bars to even one holiday party this season, everyone will think you're amazing. If you eat the whole pan by yourself at home, you will still feel like a dessert-making rockstar, which is just as good.
I once walked into a party with these treats and someone gushed, "You made chocolate?!!" I just smiled and didn't say anything. Because sometimes you want to be that fabulous version of yourself who's making artisanal chocolate from scratch in your kitchen, rather than a person who buys chocolate bars, melts them in your microwave and passes them off as an amazing homemade dessert.
"Homemade" Chocolate Bars
Time in the Kitchen: 20 minutes, plus an hour or so to refrigerate
I know this recipe is so simple that it seems too good to be true, but trust me, they taste so much more decadent than just eating a chocolate bar straight. I love the basic recipe, which is just chocolate and sea salt, but you can also mix in other ingredients that you love with chocolate. I always keep these bars in the refrigerator and bring them out just before eating.
Ingredients for the Basic Recipe:
Three 3.5 ounce bars of dark chocolate (75% or more)
1/2 teaspoon large-flake sea salt (I recommend Maldon)
Optional add-ins: 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce, some nuts or dried fruit, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
Line a 8x8x2 square pan with parchment paper. Chop the chocolate into small pieces. I use a serrated bread knife to do this.
Melt 3/4 of the chocolate in the microwave. In my microwave, this takes 2 minutes, and I stop and stir it once after a minute.
Add the remaining 1/4 of the chocolate pieces and stir vigorously into the warm melted chocolate so all the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Pour the chocolate into the pan. If adding any other ingredient, drizzle or mix it in.
Sprinkle the sea salt on top.
Refrigerate until solid, usually about an hour. After the chocolate is solid, cut into squares. The bars are rich, so the squares don't have to be big.
Tip: If you add caramel you have to store the bars in the fridge or the caramel will get way too runny and gooey. If I add coconut oil, I usually keep the bars in the freezer so the oil doesn't liquefy.
A note about sea salt: I love Maldon sea salt, which can be found in many grocery stores. It's expensive compared to regular salt (around $6) but less expensive than a lot of other sea salts. A box lasts a really long time, even for someone like me who uses the salt almost every day. The sea salt is meant to be sprinkled on food after it has finished cooking.

Jenny, You are fabulous …and funny!
January 16, 2013 9:07 am
Wrinkling your nose at the thought of salt marring your perfect chocolate? Don't. A well-salted bar dials the flavor of the beans to 11. It's powerfully complex, and it's one of the best chocolate bars I've ever tasted–worth every penny of its (admittedly exorbitant) price.

Grenson Masterpieces for Paul Stuart's "Stuart's Choice" line.
Having staked out some promising thrifts, consignment shops and outlet stores for some time now in New Jersey, I'm happy to say that my dogged relentlessness has reaped excellent dividends so far. On the other hand, I'm sad to say that I'm becoming convinced that Essex County is where old dandies are put out to pasture.
How else does one explain a pristine - and when I say pristine, I mean the shoe trees still had retail tags attached - pair of Grenson Masterpiece wingtip bluchers in antique chestnut, made for Paul Stuart's "Stuart's Choice" line? Who donates such a thing? Well, whoever he or she may be, you are a better man (or woman) than I am, Gunga Din.
Channeled soles that don't even show signs of shopwear.
I can only assume someone passed away or there was an unsupervised closet-cleaning that went horribly awry.
Nevertheless, after nonchalantly paying the $40 (trees included), I masked my excitement as best I could and sauntered out of the shop at a deceptively casual pace.
Unfortunately, I already have an identical pair of Grenson Masterpieces for the Stuart's Choice line in a dark brown, and this pair was just a bit too snug. Which is the only reason these shoes did not move to the top of my personal "best thrift shop finds ever" list.
Anyway, happy hunting!
