Ray LaMontagne
"Empty"- Ray LaMontagne
Well, I looked my demons in the eyes
laid bare my chest, said "Do your best, destroy me.
You see, I've been to hell and back so many times,
I must admit you kind of bore me."
There's a lot of things that can kill a man
There's a lot of ways to die
Yes, and some already dead that walk beside me
There's a lot of things I don't understand
Why so many people lie
Well, it's the hurt I hide that fuels the fires inside me.
Will I always feel this way
So empty, so estranged?
(source: 500daysoffuckyou, via rockandrollandrobin)
I can't seem to get enough of this song tonight.

As some of you may know, Campus Outreach Raleigh partners with The Summit Church in Durham, NC. This means our staff are considered Summit Church staff as well as Campus Outreach staff, and Campus Outreach Raleigh is under the authority of The Summit Church. Our students regularly attend Summit Church services on Sundays and have reaped many benefits from sitting under the teaching of JD Greear. Currently, we are going through a sermon series called Sent. Sent is a series that travels through the book of Acts to investigate what the early church looked like and how our church should look similarly. We have learned about the boldness of the early church, how the gospel is for all people not just Jews, the foundation of the early church, and much more. This series could not come at a better time as seniors have been challenged to be "sent" after college and are now meeting with God to make the decision of where they will go. At the end of November, they will give us their final decisions. Please pray for guidance and wisdom for these seniors as they decide what they will be doing for the next two years of their lives.
While seniors are still deciding what the next steps will be, some of our graduates are preparing to actually begin their commitments. In January, five graduates that were members of Campus Outreach during college will be going to Kenya for two years to reach students that go to college in the surrounding area and seven graduates will be moving to Southeast Asia to accomplish the same goal. I am confident that the culture of The Summit has highly influenced these decisions. The Summit does a great job of challenging college graduates to do something for the kingdom of God. We are so thankful to have a church that wants to see people grow with God and also send them out to tell others about the love of Christ. Please pray for The Summit Church as they continue in this mission, and pray for team unity and spiritual and financial provision for these teams as they take a step of faith. Below is a picture of the 12 graduates that will be sent out in January.

Long but warm

Member since
It is pretty warm and comfortable and looks great, however I did not anticipate it being so long. I have a fairly large head (7 5/8s in fitted hats) and the length at times is a bit much. The regular doyonator is a good fit if you are looking for something with less hang on the back
Real Tall

This is a really comfortable beanie and real warm. However, I did not realize that it would be this tall. In comparison to the Coal Frena beanie the King Doyonater is about 6 inches taller. So if you like that steeze, stop thinking and go for it!

whats the difference between this and the normal Doyonator?
Member since
If you think this hat is going to be huge just because it says King then don't be fooled. It runs true to size & the color comes as pictured. Great solid hat to add to your collection.

Super comfy and warm hat. Extra length so you can get your steez points in many different ways. Ride with it all the time, has a tighter fit to keep you warm all the time.

Power Rankings: On the Move
La Lumiere moves into the Top 25
Each and every week, FiveStarBasketball.com will be recapping the movements in our Power Rankings. As the competition begins to heat up, expect the rankings to fluctuate based on the performance of each individual team. As seen in this version of On the Move, the loss of one Top 25 team means that other teams have a chance to gain ground in the rankings.
Movin' In: La Lumiere
La Lumiere participated in the Midwestern Classic in Merrillville, IN and reamed Reda Prep (Canada) by the score of 116-59 while also notching a 62-53 victory over IMG Academy. These two wins, supplemented by No. 22 Notre Dame Prep being blown out by No. 1 Brewster, means La Lumiere is deserving of the No. 25 spot in the rankings.
Movin' Out: Notre Dame Prep
The aforementioned blowout loss to No. 1 Brewster is the main reason that the Fitchburg, MA school has dropped from the rankings. Combine that loss with the fact that 7-0 New Zealand-native and Pittsburgh commit Steven Adams is joining the team in January, and you have a team that is on it's way out of the rankings … for now.
Movin' Up: Christ the King (1 spot), Wichita Heights (1 spot) Columbia (1 spot)
The Columbia Eagles beat one of our watch list teams Southwest DeKalb by the score of 83-58, while Christ The King and Wichita Heights both moved up one spot because they were idol.
Off the radar: Southwest DeKalb
As a result of their 25-point trouncing at the hands of the Eagles, DeKalb has moved off of the Power Rankings radar. With the talented duo of Memphis commit Shaquille Goodwin and Auburn commit Jordan Price, DeKalb could work it's way back onto the radar if they pick up their play.

The FDA has given the go-ahead to a new drug to fight Hepatitis B. The makers of Hepsera say the drug can suppress the virus and improve liver function. It works by entering cells and interferes with a crucial enzyme and stop it in its tracks. Researchers say the drug greatly reduces levels of the virus in the blood and allows the liver to repair damage caused by the disease. More than one million Americans suffer from Hepatitis B.
A study out of Harvard University has found people who snore are twice as likely to develop diabetes as those who don't. The study involved 70,000 people over a ten year period. Researchers say snoring impairs a person's oxygen intake. Now, experts say that lack of oxygen apparently triggers the production of Catecholamines in the body. Increased levels of those compounds can decrease the effectiveness of insulin produced by the body.

From what I can tell there are 3 important steps:
- Selecting your chickens (did you know hens start laying eggs at 5 months old?)
- Housing (portable pens are the way to go - "Portable pens make keeping chickens easier and less messy or smelly. The manure is spread around for just a day or two, and then the pen is moved so that your fowl can eat the bugs and fertilize the next patch of lawn or pasture.")
- Feeding (whole grains retain their nutritional value no matter what - "Whole grains retain all of their nutritional value, and nothing is ever wasted. What hits the ground does not dissolve. It stays there until a) it is eaten, b) it sprouts and is eaten, c) it sprouts, grows and is eaten. Either way, you win."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
the only group exp i ever have is with my own guild.. too many pug nightmares and i am sure all here know what i am talking about. In kara (or anywhere else for that matter) we give all tank upgrades to the MT if she needs them.. then to plate wearing OTs if they need them. Leather tank stuff goes to the druid main OT. Everything else is the standard greed on BoE and speak up if you need it, pass and dicuss on BoP.We always have an enchanter and unless someone needs the mats we just put the shards in the guild bank for whoever may need a chant in the future (that is how i get all of mine). BoE epics go to the guild bank for a deserving player or an alt if someone in the raid could use it for one of theirs. I guess it should be said that the ppl i raid with i have known for years either in game or in RL so there is not alot of blind greed between us. Also boss drops are always master looted to prevent accidents.

Can dirt, bacteria and rat urine found on aluminum soda cans really cause deadly diseases, including leptospirosis?
UNCONFIRMED: Unwashed soda cans themselves haven't been proven to cause deadly diseases.
Fortunately for the ever-growing population of soda drinkers, cold, hard surfaces don't hold bacteria for long and the organisms likely are rejected by aluminum, according to retired microbiologist Dr. David Hentges and Answerbag.com.
Ongoing hoax
An email has been circulated over the years — most recently in June 2012 — stating that a woman out boating drank Coca-Cola from a can, was hospitalized a day later, then died later in the week. According to the email (read it here in its various forms), the woman died from leptospirosis. The email goes on to say that the disease was caused by dried rat urine.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, diseased animals such as rodents may indeed carry bacteria in their urine that cause leptospirosis.
Yet the widely circulated email about the woman dying from leptospirosis after drinking soda from a can is a hoax. The Leptospirosis Information Center dismissed the warning as fake, as found on Hoax-Slayer. A search of news stories reporting the woman's death turned up no results.
According to About.com and the rumor-debunking website Snopes.com, the details continue to change as well, similar to the game Telephone. One version says the woman was from Belgium; another says she was from Texas. An early iteration of the email claims a study was conducted in Spain showing that the tops of soda cans are "more contaminated than public toilets"; another claims the study was done at "NYCU." According to Yahoo!, the acronym NYCU is shared by New York City Underground, News You Can Use and North Yorkshire Credit Union, and none claimed credit for the announcement.

Budapest, Hungary
My Rating
This trip gave a good overview of the city for a newcomer. Commentary was rather difficult to follow. Ticket for the boat trip was really thoughtful as we used it the following day and the trip to St. Margarets island was well worthwhile.There is some walking to do on this trip and visitors should be made aware of this. Taxi transfer from the hotel to the start of the bus tour but not back to the hotel afterwards.

Red Farmer's Biggest Win
Racer Red Farmer began his career in the 1940s and is still going strong at age 75.
Red Farmer deserved to be in the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, but normally a driver must be retired – or passed on – at least five years before becoming eligible. Since Farmer – now 75 and who used to list his age as "past halfway" – has no intentions of slowing down, the IMHoF committee decided to let him in sooner instead of later.
"I'm glad they decided I could go ahead and qualify while I could still enjoy it," says Farmer, who joins four other motorsports greats set for induction in April. "I've been fortunate to be in a lot of halls of fame, but this has to be the biggest because there's nothing left after this."
The announcement was made in October during a press conference in Birmingham, with Farmer on hand for the festivities. He'll join Bill France Jr., Shirley Muldowney, Bill Muncey and Bobby Rahal in this year's class, which will be honored during an induction ceremony at the Speed Channel Dome at Talladega's spring race.
Based on Farmer's resume – one that began in the late 1940s – granting him eligibility without meeting the standard criteria seems like a small concession.
While racing in seven different decades, Farmer has taken more than 740 feature victories on asphalt, dirt and superspeedways. He won the NASCAR Modified Championship in 1956, then claimed three Late Model Sportsman crowns in the late 1960s and early 1970s. That series was the forerunner of what is now known as the NASCAR Busch Series.
Aside from Thursday's honor, Farmer is also a member of the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Dirt Track Hall of Fame and Talladega/Texaco Walk of Fame.
In 2000, he was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers.
"All of those were special," Farmer says. "Especially being named one of NASCAR's 50 greatest. But this is the ultimate for me."
Needless to say, a career that has spanned more than 50 years has featured plenty of highlights, but Farmer says one stands out in particular.
"In 1971 I ran in the Daytona 300 Permatex race," says Farmer, referring to an event sanctioned by the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) circuit.
"The last eight races they had held there had been won by the NASCAR (Winston Cup) guys, but I won it, and it was my first superspeedway win.
"But what made it even better is that my mother was there, and it was the first time she'd ever seen me race. Plus, it was her birthday (Feb. 13), so things couldn't have worked out better."
France Jr., the son of NASCAR founder "Big" Bill France, got the nod due to helping the sport outgrow its regional bounds and become an international phenomenon. France Jr. served as a rule maker, promoter, ambassador and salesman for NASCAR, and he engineered the series' record-setting $2.4 billion television contract.

Growing up I was always the "skinny" girl, I wasnt really into sports or fitness and just felt lucky I didnt have to watch what I ate. After the birth of my first child, I was 17 and bounced back pretty quick. But when I got pregnant with my second 4yrs later I gained 60lbs and was horrified when it didnt just all melt off my first month breast feeding. (All the forums said eat lots and still lose weight while breast feeding)
I started using Turbo Jam shortly after my sencond child was born. My wedding was three months after her birth and I wanted to look great in a dress again. My mom had seen an infomercial and introduced me to it.
At first I thought it looked cheesy and laughed but then I actually tried the workouts. I LOVED it as soon as I did it.
That was four years ago and one more pregnancy. (3 kids in total, now 9ys, 4yrs, and 2yrs). I have used Turbo Fire, Power 90 and Brazillian Butt Lift. Lost my remaining weight but since I usually am so good about tracking one week, the next two weeks I wont do anything, then back on the wagon for another week, it seems to be a never ending trend of do overs.
All in all I just want to build muscle, have more energy and feel confident in my skin. I know that sticking with these programs and being consistent will get me to this goal.

Rainbow Colored Honey Anyone?
The small town of Ribeauville that lies on a scenic wine route southwest of Strasbourg, France is known for two things - Its vineyards and 35,000 bee colonies that produce more than 1,000 metric tons of delicious amber honey each year. However, since August, while the honey has been as delicious as ever, it has lost its amber hue and instead taken on strange shades of blue, green and even red!
Mystified, the beekeepers embarked on an investigation to see what was causing the sudden change in color. While it took a few months, they believe the mystery has finally been solved. Turns out that just about 2.5 miles away from the hives lies a biogas station which processes waste from a Mars confectionery plant that manufactures - You guessed it - brightly colored M&M's!
The British Beekeepers Association believes that due to a harsh 2011-2012 winter, the bees had a hard time foraging for honey, leading them to look for alternate sources of sugar. That's probably when they discovered the colorful sweet liquid waste that the company stored in large bins outside the plant.
The biogas company has now changed their procedures so that any incoming waste is stored in covered rooms to which the bees have no access to. While that will definitely help going forward, the poor beekeepers are scratching their heads about what to do with all the colored M&M honey that nobody wants to purchase.
The news is not particularly good for the rest of us as well. With bee colonies disappearing all around the world, the golden liquid is quite precious to begin with - Losing more, just adds to the dire situation.

Book ReviewWhat: The Birth of Hot Rodding-The Story of the Dry Lakes EraWho: Authors Robert Genat and Don Cox, available from Motorbooks International, 800/826-6600; www.motorbooks.comHow Much: $34.95Robert Genat has done it again. In Birth of Hot Rodding, the highly regarded automotive photographer, historian, and author has teamed up with Don Cox to create one of the most unique retrospectives on the pre-war and immediate post-war Southern California dry lakes racing scene ever published. While Genat usually takes his own photographs, the pairing with Cox was done because Cox raced his roadster at the dry lakes in the late '40s and took color photographs of seemingly everything he saw and did. A Navy Photographer's Mate in WWII, Cox returned from his tour of duty with a secret weapon: 35mm Kodachrome color slide film, a fine-grain, archive-quality film. It was revolutionary in 1946. This 156-page hardbound book is filled with Cox's never-before-published color photos (along with some black-and-white images) and Genat's interviews with pioneers of the sport (the priceless foreword is written by Wally Parks). This writer was struck by the way color images remove the barrier of time imposed by black and white. Though many of the subjects are likely deceased by now, the photos of the vibrant young men and women look as if they were taken yesterday.
Among the chapters describing the history of the dry lakes, cars, clubs, and personalities are countless bits of fascinating information. For instance, how did Muroc dry lake get its name? Genat tells us that in 1910 a Scottish family by the name of Corum settled in the area and established itself as a leading developer of the land. At the time, the lakebed was known interchangeably as Rodriguez Dry Lake, Rodgers Dry Lake, and Rogers Dry Lake. But the Corums wanted to leave their mark and have a post office stop named after themselves. There was already a Coram, California, and it was determined that the similarity to the family's name could cause confusion so they simply reversed the spelling and the name Muroc was born. The single nit-pick we found is the misspelling of HOT ROD Magazine founder, Robert Petersen's last name in the book's index (it is mistakenly spelled with an "o"). We got over it and strongly recommend Birth of Hot Rodding.-Steve Magnante

CHICAGO, June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Stocks in this week's article include: Biogen (NASDAQ: BIIB – Free Report), Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV – Free Report), National Fuel Gas (NYSE: NFG – Free Report), Tower International (NYSE: TOWR – Free Report) and TAL Education Group (NYSE: XRS – Free Report). Kevin Matras explains why looking for stocks with upgraded broker ratings can upgrade your portfolio to a whole new level.
Screen of the Week written by Kevin Matras of Zacks Investment Research:
I'm sure we've all had the pleasure of waking one morning and seeing that a broker has upgraded one of our stocks. Unfortunately, we've probably all had the experience of waking up and seeing one of our stocks downgraded as well.
While nobody can perfectly predict an upgrade or guard against a downgrade, it's important to know how the market reacts to these things so you can stay in your upgraded winners (or buy if you're on the fence) and consider getting out if a downgrade comes your way.
One thing I've been doing lately is screening for stocks that have recently seen a broker rating upgrade. Tests have proven that stocks with broker rating upgrades outperform those that don't get upgraded. And they really outperform those stocks that get downgraded.
By how much?

Urging public to avoid shows with wild animals
As long as people continue to pay to attend circus shows with wild animals, wild animals will continue to be exploited and abused. It's not natural for wild animals to be confined, transported constantly, subjected to cruel training and forced to do stupid tricks. They're wild animals and it's just sad they have to live that way.
It's not remarkable that these animals can do tricks, it's remarkable that we continue this barbaric ritual and call it entertainment.
Please boycott the circus shows with wild animals when they come to town. Call them and encourage them to use other acts; human or domesticated animals.

The Miami Dolphins travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts in the second week of the season. It will pair two old friends against one another. Dolphins rookie pass rusher Dion Jordan played in the Pac-12 at Oregon and second year quarterback Andrew Luck played in the Pac-12 at Stanford.
Jordan and the Oregon squad never lost to Andrew Luck, at least when Jordan played as a starter.
"Yeah, me and Luck know each other pretty well," Jordan told reporters this week, per The Miami Herald. "I never lost to Andrew Luck. I don't plan on it."
Colts quarterback Luck is looking to reverse that trend.
"I try to forget most of my matchups against Oregon, so thanks for bringing those up," Luck said. "I just remember [he's] fast, athletic, eats up space and physical. A lot of respect for him as a player."
The storyline adds more motivation for Luck than for Jordan. Nevertheless the Miami defense looked fairly well in week 1. They held Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson to 47 yards rushing last week. The flip side of that is that Brandon Weeden threw for 289 yards and imagine what Andrew Luck could do. The Dolphins did intercept Weeden three times as well though.

Co-Q 10 with L-Carnitine, Natural Orange Flavor, 16 oz. From MRM
Regular: $29.99You Save: 50%Online Sale Price: $14.98
Buy With Confidence
This energy support supplement helps support cardiovascular health along with helping assist the body in cellular energy transport.
Co-Q 10 from Metabolic Response Modifiers (MRM) is a combination of Co-Q 10 with L-Carnitine in an advanced liquid delivery system. This Energy support supplement helps support cardiovascular health along with helping assist the body in cellular energy transport. Use this supplement to help support a healthy lifestyle and maintain overall whole body wellness. Each serving also contains 5mg of Vitamin B5 which is 50% of the daily recommended value. Because of the unique way in which Co-Q 10 and L-Carnitine both function to aid as natural energy boosters this product can also compliment a weight loss program where you are looking to mobilize stored fat for a more trim and tone appearance.
Co-Q 10:
Liquid Delivery System.
Provides Heart Healthy Co-Q 10.
Amino Acid L-Carnitine Boosts Energy Transport.
Compliments Lean Muscle Training and Weight Loss Programs.
Ideal for Anyone Pursuing a Healthy Lifestyle.
Benefits of Co-Q 10
One of the most intriguing aspects of Co-Q 10 is that every cell in the body utilizes this coenzyme. It is found inside organelles of cells that are known as mitochondria. This is essentially the engine of each and every cell. Co-Q 10 helps assist the performance of mitochondria in regards to energy output. Most commonly the whole foods that contain Co-Q 10 are meats. Things such as beef, poultry, and fish all contain modest amounts. While you can find sources of Co-Q 10 from vegetables and legumes the amount is less than that from animal sources.
Because this coenzyme decreases as we age and yet plays such a significant role in each and every cell of the body, it is important to supplement it into the diet. Most of the body's critical organs, such as the heart, contain the densest populations of Co-Q 10. For that reason if you are looking for a supplement that is going to help protect your body and promote cardiovascular health, Co-Q 10 is a must-have.
L-Carnitine Amplifies Energy Utilization
L-Carnitine is an amino acid that is responsible for the way in which the body uses stored fat for energy. Many bodybuilder's and athletes supplement with L-Carnitine to help them shed extra fat. While it is commonly used for weight loss this amino acid also helps cardiovascular health and overall wellness. By combining it with Co-Q 10 you get a supplement that is going to truly help assist the way in which energy is utilized in the body.
This is not the sort of stimulant based energy you would expect from a diet pill or other weight loss supplements. It is a more naturally based means for the body to utilize stored energy on its own terms. When coupled with a healthy diet and an active lifestyle it has the capacity to help you burn more fat and feel more uplifted and upbeat.
Advanced Liquid Delivery System. Supports Energy Production From Fats. Promotes Cardiovascular Health.

Testing The Validity Of Economic Growth Theories With Seemingly Unrelated Regression Models: Application To Turkey In 1980-2010
AbstractContrary to the Simultaneous Equation Systems, there is not any type of relation between equations in the Seemingly Unrelated Regression method. What is intended with the correlation state, indicating whether correlated or not, of regression models within the equation system, is the correlation state, indicating whether correlated or not, of error terms related to the models in question. With the help of different exogenous variables, economic growth theories are trying to explain the same endogenous variable, namely, economic growth. The primary objective of this study is to test the joint validity of the growth models, introduced by Solow, Harrod-Domar, Barro and Romer, for the Turkish economy by applying the Seemingly Unrelated Regression method.

Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Jarvis Jones is one of the top prospects in college football and he has decided to take his talents to the NFL, according to CBSSports.com's Jeremy Fowler. Jones has led the SEC in sacks for the past two seasons and recently broke the single-season sack record at Georgia with 14.5.
Jones also led the nation in forced fumbles with seven.
He began his college career at USC, before the school's doctors recommended he give up playing football because of spinal stenosis. He then transferred to Georgia and returned to the field in 2011. Jones has been cleared of any further neck problems.
Many scouts believe that Jones has the ability to become the first overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
If Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs new general manager are looking for a dynamic player that can rush the passer at the next level, Jones could be the name on the team's card when Roger Goodell marches out to the podium at Radio City Music Hall in April.

Have you heard of these "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" books by Jeff Kinney? Are your kids into them? Are you?
There were three books in the series and the fourth book, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days," was released this week. The books chronicle the misadventures of two middle-school age boys trying to work through adolescence, home life and school with as little effort as possible.
The plots revolved around slapstick, laziness and ethical lapses that 8 to 12 year-old really enjoy but parents aren't so sure about.
"The words 'moron,' 'jerk,' 'dork' and 'hot girls' are used in the first five pages," complains a reviewer on Amazon of the first book. "This is a poor choice for good character building in your children."
But many experts disagree.
"It really captures the struggle of a child that age trying to figure out what it means to be a person," said Dr. Joshua Sparrow, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Sparrow read the first Wimpy Kid book after a young patient told him about it.
Dr. Lawrence Rosen, a pediatrician who founded the Whole Child Center in Oradell, N.J., says he has talked about the series with his third-grade daughter, who says she likes that the main character is "not perfect."
"The power of the book is about the wimpy kid, a regular kid with regular problems, just dealing with what life brings him," Dr. Rosen said. "For parents, I suppose reading the books or at least discussing them with our kids will give us a more realistic idea of what their lives are like, the struggles they face every day."
I have not read any of these books so I am definitely going to check it out.
Are you familiar with the "Wimpy Kid" series? Do you like it, hate it, have problems with it? Do you think it can help kids worth through ethical dilemmas in life and/or help parents have a dialogue with their kids about making ethical decisions?

Whether you agree with the plot lines in the "Wimpy Kid' series or not, you have to admit, that children who are reluctant readers are really flocking to these books. I have read all the books in the series and have to admit that I love them. I was an awkward preteen and teen and can identify with Greg's problems. Many times in the books Greg is portrayed as over confident and even sometimes a bit sarcastic, but he also is self conscious and afraid of normal every day things. He is a character whose point of view is very easily seen by readers children and adults alike. I remember those crazy years as a teen and wish I had "Wimpy Kid' books to see me through the difficult times. Thanks to Jeff Kinney for the millions of children and adults who can now look on those years and not cringe and who can turn to these books for some laughs at some pretty embarrassing situations!

My son identifies with the "Wimpy Kid" and enjoys these books. As a parent, I can't tell you how excited I was to actually have him ask me to take him to the mall to buy the book! I read the books as well, and I enjoyed them. I haven't read the newest release yet but I know I will. The entire series is a good one in my opinion. Like the earlier poster commented, reluctant readers are reading these books. My experience has been that it is harder to keep my son interested in reading once he hit the pre-teen stage.

These books are phonies…. Give your pre-teen the real McCoy and freak all parents out with Salinger's CATCHER IN THE RYE instead of the latest flash in the pan author who is standing on the shoulders of J.D. Salinger.

Photius, I agree that all children should be required to read the classics, but that not all will unless required at school.
I think it's great that there are books out there getting kids to read but that once they start reading, keep it going. Take them to the library to keep it going. Most of these books use "course" language or the slang that kids hear everyday to grab their attention while relating to them on their level. I remember reading a few Judy Blumes in my day that some parents thought were a bit risque'. The book isn't meant to step in and parent, but allow kids to know that they aren't strange or weird because of things that all kids go through. You have to remember that at that age a childs world is a whole lot smaller so little things seem huge.

I have not read the books, but agree with some of the others. If you can get your child interested in reading, that's a good first step. It may not be a classic, but it will help engage their imagination!

Photius – I have to agree with the others. My daughter has latched onto this series and really enjoys them. Her birthday is coming up and I know this will be one of her presents. There will come a time when she moves on to "classics".
Theresa – I would imagine that, given your children's ages, they are into "Magic Tree House" and other series. This series seems to be targeted toward Middle Schoolers.

My 8 year old loves these books. He started reading them when he was 6, which is right around the time we moved. These books, along with many others, helped him get through a tough time.

My 8 year old has enjoyed all of the books in the Wimpy Kid series and we will definitely be picking up a copy of the 4th book this week. While I don't want him walking around calling people "dork" or "moron," these are words he has already been exposed to in every day life. Any books that get kids excited about reading are okay with me.
October 13th, 2009
9:43 am
I haven't heard of these books, but I am for children reading, with almost no regards to what it is they read.
I like the idea of reading books that we don't agree with.

I read EVERYTHING as a kid and a teenager -trash, classics, Judy Blume, many adult novels, etc.If you're bothering to actually raise your child, then you should be able to get the message across that just because a character in a book, movie, cartoon, tv series, etc. does something a certain way doesn't mean THEY have to do it that way. I'm also for kids reading just about anything. When I taught I would have been thrilled for my students to read Penthouse Forum because at least they would have been reading something! There are far worse things out there (Iike Penthouse Forum) for pre-teens and middle schoolers to read as well, so I think the helicopter parents should (as usual) chill out and get over it.

I've never heard of them….but they sound funny as hell! You must relate to a kid on their personal level. As badly as we wish it….most of our kids aren't interested in the Literary Classics just yet. If a book series laden with geeks and morons rouses their curiosity..so be it. Its no different than us reading…and LOVING and totally identifying….with works such as The Outsiders.

I too read just about anything as a young child/teen..There was never anything that I wasn't allowed to read..I'm with others, as long as the child is reading, it's ok..
@Photius, I have never read Catcher In the Rye and I turned out just fine thank you..Kids don't always have to read "the classics" to survive..

They have sparked some interesting discussions in our house. I have not read them but will often ask what is up with Greg when my oldest (daughter) is reading them. I also recommeneded them to a co-worker who's son is a reluctant reader. The son is in to Capt. Underpants so I thought he might like Greg. Another co-worker says her son is into them. I also recommend the Bailey Street School series to reluctant readers.
I hear worse language on the Disney channel. They hear worse on the school playground.

It sounds sort of like a modern day Sweet Valley High with a more boy central theme. I read that series for several years in middle school and they really enhanced my love of reading and got me talking about books with my friends. At that point in my life, I was also reading the SE Hinton novels, Judy Blume and Shakespeare. Now I still read just about anything I can get my hands on and try to mix romance, classics, chick lit, modern fiction with "meat to it," crime/mystery, etc. If these books get kids to read, I say go for it and use the coarse language as a learning opportunity.
We are lucky, my stepdaughter can read a 300 page novel in a day because she loves to read. I hope our little one loves to read like that too!

It took the Twilight series to get my oldest niece reading. She hated to read until those books came out. She was a junior in high school when she started her love of reading. What a shame….all that lost time.
Her parents never read to her as a child.
My daughter reads EVERYTHING she can get her hands on. Both my parents were heavy duty readers, and our house looked like a library. I love to read, but can only read one book at a time. Both my parents, and my mom still today, can read two books at the same time. So I've always been a reader, and I was reading to my child before she was born……

JJ, I usually have one book in my car that I read while at lights, one book in my desk at work (for lunch) and one book on the nightstand..I have 2 brothers that are big readers also..My parents never read a book to any of us, so I guess thats why out of 10, most of my family doesn't read..

Rose might like Ramona series by Beverly Clearly. Especially if she sees Lili as Ramona and herself as Beezus.
Miss Popularity and other Candy Apple books.

Theresa, I liked the Anastasia Krupnik series at that age too. Ramona Quimby books rocked too.
October 13th, 2009

Theresa, My daughter is reading the Junie B Jones and Judy Moody (although my daughter is about a year behind yours) They love the American girls series as well as Eloise.
October 13th, 2009
1:28 pm
I can second Junie B and the American Girl series. When I was Rose's age, I loved "Little House on the Prairie" and the other books in that series. I tried to get my daughter interested in them, but no luck. I also loved "Little Women", "Little Men". What about the Boxcar Children series?

My now 5th grader loathed reading..until we brought him copies of Wimpy Kid in 4th grade…it was amazing what happened! One year later, he's reading abridged versions of the Red Badge of Courage and Moby Dick.
I am not making this up. (we couldn't believe it either)
October 13th, 2009
1:35 pm
Are the Wimpy Kids books focused solely on a boy or are there girls being focused on? Are any of the characters Black? Not trying to start a race conversation but if one of the things people like about the books is that their kids can relate to the characters, I think this is a reasonable question.
October 13th, 2009
1:37 pm
The American Girl bboks are fantastic. There is not another organization, in my opionion, from churches, schools, girl scouts etc. teaching girls more about being themselves and being smart. Their fiction books are great and we have found that their life skills books are outstanding as well (money, development, divorce, manners are all covered in different books).
October 13th, 2009
1:40 pm
Anne, I also read all of the Little House books. Loved them..Does anyone have chidren that have read Anne Of Green Gables? I bought them for my niece and she wouldn't read them, so I did..She did enojy the American Girl books..
October 13th, 2009
1:43 pm
My son has just started asking for the Wimpy Kid books. I think he likes that they are hardcover, too. He is also into the Flat Stanley books right now. I remember loving not only the Little House on the Prarie books as a little girl but also Nancy Drew and Encyclopedia Brown.
October 13th, 2009
1:45 pm
I'm just glad they don't have the word "underpants" in the title! :)
October 13th, 2009
1:47 pm
Becky – how could I forget Anne of Green Gables?
My daughter is also reading the Rick Riordan series of books, starting with "The Lightening Thief". She liked them so much, she said "Mom, you've got to read these books!" Haven't had a chance to start them yet.
October 13th, 2009
1:51 pm
I grew up working at my mom's used bookstore so I read everything (well except Western's). Anne of Green Gables were always my favorite when I was young, I still have the entire series on my bookshelf today, that's disappointing that kids today aren't as into it…guess it just shows out age!
October 13th, 2009

"I usually have one book in my car that I read while at lights" – I'm all about reading but the driver of a vehicle should not be reading a book.

October 13th, 2009
2:01 pm
@MomsRule, when you are sitting at a red light for 5-10 minutes, there isn't anything wrong with reading..Or when you are sitting on the interstate for a half an hour without moving, there isn't anything wrong with that either..I did not say that I read while driving..Someone always wants to read something into something that isn't there..
October 13th, 2009
2:07 pm
"Are the Wimpy Kids books focused solely on a boy or are there girls being focused on? Are any of the characters Black?"
The primary characters in the books are white, male, middle class pre-teen boys.
October 13th, 2009
2:09 pm
Val, thanks! I loved reading Encyclopedia Brown
many years ago but had not been able to recall the
name of the series for some time. I just remembered
enjoying the stories and wished I could recall. Now
I might have to get some of those books for the kids just so I can read them again!
October 13th, 2009
2:11 pm
my child read the first two "Wimpy Kid" books at age 7, and moved on. they're now in the the "garage sale" box. like it or not, words like jerk, moron and dork are part of the elementary school vernacular. a word only has power if adults give it power, and discussing a writer's decision to use such words can cover everything from self-expression to the First Amendment. at the end of the day, any book is better than no book. at this age (5-12) reading is a tool for learning, and if a child can handle (comprehend) a book, he/she should read it. "Catcher in the Rye"? C'mon, I read it in H.S. and it bored me to tears. Narcissistic whining has it's place, but I never understood why it is a "classic".
October 13th, 2009
2:13 pm
Reading IS fundamental….remember. Thought is still free . If you try hard enough you'll find somebody that thinks Dr. Seuss is a conspiracy to implement socialist dogma….
October 13th, 2009
2:14 pm
It's better to be a wimp, avoid altercation at all costs. Then as a man the kid can be a real man and walk away from a fight or work it out. If that A.J. Jewell character would have walked away instead of being a big man by fighting he would be alive today. His 6 kids would still have a father and the 4 mothers would still have a paycheck.
October 13th, 2009
2:15 pm
My 10YO loved these books. He's not a reluctant reader — devours everything in sight — and he ripped through them. The 7YO is now asking for them. I don't find the sarcasm any more or less grating than on many kids shows, and far more innocuous than on a show like "Drake and Josh." And they're not as … well, dumb as the Captain Underpants books, which I despised. As an aside, I can't believe anyone would be silly enough to suggest Catcher in the Rye for the tween set. C'mon. Most of us read it in HS or college. My 10YO could handle the vocab, but not the plot line. Personally, I found Holden tiresome and self-absorbed. But, then, most 17YO boys are.
October 13th, 2009
2:18 pm
Becky, I don't believe Photius meant that the survival of mankind depends on kids reading the classics. The classics are, well just that, classic! And they make many other books pale in comparison! And 60 years from now will we be talking about the modern day authors in the same way we talk about Salinger or Golding?? I seriously doubt it!
October 13th, 2009
2:26 pm
My son LOVES them, and have never seen him pick up a book and read it all the way through like he has this series! I was at the bookstore bright and early to pick up the newest book for him yesterday. He can definitely relate to the character, and he enjoys the books. I see nothing wrong with them.
October 13th, 2009
2:44 pm
Becky, some things should not be done by the driver while operating a motor vehicle. Stopped at a light or not. If your nose is buried in a book – you are not watching what is going on around you. Its very simple.
October 13th, 2009
2:45 pm
Don't create an issue where there isn't one. Quit panicking over imagined self esteem issues. At least the kids are reading something. Most kids simply won't pick up a book.
October 13th, 2009
2:46 pm
My middle school son really likes these. He thinks the illustrations and situations are really funny. I read the first one to make sure there was nothing horrible. They are funny and silly in a slapstick kind of way. I don't mind him reading these because he's also reading Three Musketeers, Tale of Two Cities and Pilgrim's Progress this year so he's got both sides covered.
Theresa, as far as girl series go my daughter is 4th grade. We've enjoyed
the Fairy Realm series by Emily Rodda (starts with 'The Charm Bracelet')
'Marigold and the feather of Hope' by Sweet (another series)
Also, mysteries like A to Z mysteries by Ron Roy – about same reading level as Magic Tree
the Judy Moody books
Clementine by Pennypacker
a series called 'Classic Starts' that has books like Little Women and Anne of Green Gables cut down to be read more easily.
The Ordinary Princess by Kaye
anything by Edward Eager (Half Magic, 7 Day Magic)
anything by Andrew Clements (we usually do these on audio so the whole family can enjoy)
Catwings by leGuin
The Tail of Emily Winsnap by Kessler
The problem I have found with girl books as they get older is they become so wrapped up in boys, relationships and cliques that they stop being a 'just for fun' reads.
October 13th, 2009
2:46 pm
The books are really cute. I started reading one and couldn't put it down. I didn't know these books were controversial. From a biblical/moral perspective, wouldn't Harry Potter be considered much worse? At the end of the day…to each their own.
October 13th, 2009
2:46 pm
I love books that encourage children to read but as a language arts teacher, I do not recommend these books for formal reading projects.
October 13th, 2009
2:51 pm
@MomsRule…you are correct!
October 13th, 2009
2:53 pm
I haven't read this series, but if there are those out there who think the tone and language of the citations above are offensive and inappropriate for children, those folks should think twice before they let their kids thumb through Bible in their pews on Sunday mornings. There's all kinds of light reading to get them through a sermon they're not listening to anyway: Incest, cannibalism, child sacrifice, genital mutilation, chopped up body parts, genocide, impaling, burst intestines and more! IT'S A HOOT for little johnny.
October 13th, 2009

Theresa, When I was in 3rd/4th grade, our class was reading the Chronicles of Narnia. We also discovered the Anne McCaffery Dragonriders of Pern novels. There are a few she wrote that are geared toward younger kids and our teacher read one out loud to us. I liked them so much, I read the entire series- even reading the adult ones.
I spent a lot of time at our local library, going there after school two or three times a week. These are the ones I remember reading when I was about your daughter's age. If you google any of these authors you'll see that most of what I've listed are classics, many from the 30s, 40s and 50s, you may have read some of them yourself. The Shoe Books (made a comeback after being mentioned You've Got Mail but, I read them in the early 80s) by Noel Streatfeild, the Magic Books by Edward Eager, any Beverly Cleary book- she's written dozens. Lois Lenski books from the American Regional series and her historical novels. The Wrinkle in Time series by Madeline L'Engle. She may want to branch out to others L'Engle wrote after working through the five books in the series. I also would like to chime in on the Little House on the Prarie books, my parents bought them and I wouldn't read them until they started showing reruns after school. Then I tore through them. There is a new adaption of the book on Hallmark channel- 6 hours long that is great!

Forgot about the Great Brain books by John D. Fitzgerald
October 13th, 2009
3:02 pm
@Denise: There are several Black children in the classroom that thoroughly enjoyed these books. If you are looking for a series geared toward a Black youth, try The Fantastical Adventures of Sleepy Steve. It is by a local author from Decatur, Deronte Smith, and he just added a new book to his series. I think the new book is the second book. We read the first one and it was funny as all get out!
The one thing I have found with both series is that the race of the main character is an afterthought. It really doesn't play into the book at all.

"The Persian snored on, sitting splay-legged on the floor with his back to the wall, his head hanging sideways like a doll's; Baal, racked by headache, fell back on to this cot. His verses, he thought, what had they been? What kind of idea damn it, he couldn't even remember them properly does Submission seem today yes, something like that, after all this time it was scarcely surprising an idea that runs away that was the end anyhow. Mahound, any new idea is asked two questions. When it's weak: will it compromise? We know the answer to that one. And now, Mahound, on your return to Jahilia, time for the second question. How do you behave when you win? When your enemies are at your mercy and your power has become absolute: what then? We have all changed: all of us except Hind. Who seems, from what this drunkard says, more like a woman of Yathrib then Jahilia. No wonder the two of you didn't hit it off: she wouldn't be your mother or your child.
As he drifted towards sleep, Baal surveyed his own uselessness, his failed art. Now that he had abdicated all public platforms, his verses were full of loss: of youth, beauty, love, health, innocence, purpose, energy, certainty, hope. Loss of knowledge. Loss of money. The loss of Hind. Figures walked away from him in his odes, and the more passionately he called out to them the faster they moved. The landscape of his poetry was still the desert, the shifting dunes with the plumes of white sand blowing from their peaks. Soft mountains, uncompleted journeys, the impermanence of tents. How did one map a country that blew into a new form every day? Such questions made his language too abstract, his imagery too fluid, his metre too inconstant. It led him to create chimeras of form, lionheaded goatbodied serpenttailed impossibilities whose shapes felt obliged to change the moment they were set, so that the demotic forced its way into lines of classical purity and images of love were constantly degraded by the intrusion of elements of farce. Nobody goes for that stuff, he thought for the thousand and first time, and as unconsciousness arrived he concluded, comfortingly: Nobody remembers me. Oblivion is safety."
The prose in The Satanic Verses is an embarrassment of riches.

Chin Up, Meriwether!Chin Up, Meriwether!: Fruition [12-inch]Fruition [12-inch] (2010)
Rumbletowne Records
Reviewer Rating: 3
Contributed by: JeloneJelone
(others by this writer | submit your own)
Taking a name inspired by explorer Meriwether Lewis' (alleged) homosexual yearning for his partner William Clark (but not, alas, his quest to discover mastodons), Chin Up, Meriwether! delivers a solid set of politi-punk à la the Jammy Dodgers and any post-Latterman band featuring Matt Canino.

Under terms of the Arcturus Agreement, the Company will retain a non-exclusive license to the technology. Financial terms of the Arcturus Agreement were not disclosed.
The Company intends to submit a FOIA Confidential Treatment Request to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requesting that it be permitted to redact certain portions of the Arcturus Agreement.

This post provoced a rather unexpected response from Marc Buyens:
"Yes, we also hate losing stuff, but most of the time, we don't lose it. We forget that we had it.
In this networked era, finding the relevant document is often much more easy on the web via something like Google than it is via tools such as Evernote, Diigo and other Delicious that we use to keep track of the relevant stuff we find.
So, yes, for convenience, we also keep some archives with recent stuff that is of interest, but we timestamp everything and when due date is there, delete all. No check. No regret."I can't interpret this response in any other way than that it is based on a misunderstanding. Maybe my post isn't clear enough.
First of all, I am referring to information that is NOT redundant. By that I mean information that does not exist one more than one location, such as on my desktop and on a web page somewhere. That means I am not referring to information that exists somewhere else, such as a blog post or image. I usually don't download or make copies of such information in the first place. I only keep references/pointers to, using services such as Delicious, Tumblr, Twitter and Blogger. Sometimes I extract information from information products, for example grabbing individual slides from presentations and posting them on Tumblr (always with credit and link to the source, if available). I also collect quotes from posts, books or articles. I only download information which is available on the web in very very rare cases. And I never print, unless I need to post something by regular mail to someone.
My post refers to information which is unique. Information which has been created by myself or someone else and which is not available on the web or in a shared space somewhere. I'm talking about personal notes, draft documents, sketches, emails...often half-baked ideas or private conversations. Things I haven't published yet. Things still to be shared.
Marc - I would be grateful if you could find the draft report that I had produced and then deleted by mistake. Obviously someone, in this networked area, has created an exact copy of it that can be found on the web somewhere. Please help me find it and send it to me.
