An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but bananas were always what kept us kids coming back for more! Mom would buy them by the bunches to keep us in the yellow. In fact, I never saw a brown banana until I was an adult...because us kids would gobble them up as soon as she brought them home!
Well, it seems that I'm not alone in my fruit fancying.

The Community Playhouse of Lancaster County is bringing "Aladdin Jr." to stage July 19-22 with all the magic, mayhem and flying carpet rides as the popular Disney tale.
Directed by Elaine Reese, "Aladdin Jr." has an all-kid cast in a stage adaptation of the 1992 Disney film with the well-known songs, "A Whole New World" and "Friend Like Me."
When Zan Garris Raymond found out "Antiques Roadshow" was taping in Atlanta, Ga., she gathered several pieces from her collection of Catawba Indian pottery and set out with her husband for the series taping.
"I've always been a fan of 'Roadshow,'" Raymond said. "It was a fun experience. I had no clue if I'd be on TV."
PAGELAND – Every Thursday night in June the lights went up on Watermelon Idol, Pageland's annual music competition. Present each night of the event was Emily Moody, 18, of Lancaster.
Moody is the daughter of Melanie Vaughn and Fred Moody Jr. and began competing in pageants as a young girl, before taking time off.
"At one point I was just like I don't want to do this anymore, so I stopped and just restarted in the last year," Moody said.

The Carolinas Literacy Network's (CLN) goal is to provide the Lancaster community with different resources to promote literacy in all of its forms.
One way it does that is with the Second Glance, Second Chance book exchange, a bookstore that lets readers come and select books to read and keep for free.
The program started in November 2009, and has more than 9,000 books to choose from.
From mystery to history, and biography to romance, there is something for everyone.
Retired teachers and staff members from Erwin Elementary School met on Sunday, June 23, at the Wagon Wheel to reconnect, share memories, renew old friendships, catch up on each other's lives, laugh and brag on grandchildren.
Based on the response, It was decided to make this event an annual reunion.
Many of these teachers helped open Erwin Elementary in 1975.
The group represents more than 800 years combined years of teaching and guiding children in Lancaster County.

It's a new year, and Mandy Lippman is feeling better about her company's prospects.
Since launching Environmental Cost Efficiencies, which primarily sells BigBelly Solar compacting and recycling stations, out of her Rockville office in 2007, Lippman has distributed the systems to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Cassidy Turley in Reston, Va., and other clients. In the last two months, interest has grown, with repeat business from both private and public customers, she said.
"There is a market if you have a product that fulfills a need," Lippman said Wednesday after demonstrating the solar-powered station's capabilities at the Universities at Shady Grove. The Rockville campus was the first university in Maryland to purchase the system several years ago.
"There is increased interest in products that can save clients money through innovation," Lippman said. "There has been a change in how receptive people are to innovative products."
That heightened receptivity is translating into the potential for hiring more contractors to install and maintain the trash compacting and recycling systems. With its compacting capabilities that utilize a solar-powered sensor, the units can hold up to five times the volume of the average trash receptacle, she said.
"Based on the type of jobs, I am looking to work with additional contractors," Lippman said. "And for other aspects of my business, I am looking to work with additional independent contractors, such as a bookkeeping service. I have found that independent contractors are a better bet [than hiring full-time employees] for my small business, and that is the direction I am focused on."
Lippman's optimism is being felt by many executives in Maryland and nationwide. About 22 percent of companies in Maryland plan to hire more employees in the first quarter this year, up from 17 percent in 2012's first quarter, according to a recent survey by employment services company Manpower Group.
The Maryland outlook is rosier than the nationwide one, where 17 percent of businesses say they plan to grow their workforce by March 31. Job prospects are strongest in professional and business services, as well as information technology, according to Manpower.
However, the more sanguine outlook hasn't really translated into a big hiring increase so far. In fact, job growth slowed in 2012 as Maryland added only about 15,000 jobs from January to November, down from 35,000 and 24,500 in the same periods in 2011 and 2010, according to federal labor figures.
Employers that have been piling up profitable quarters say factors such as the fiscal cliff and a lack of qualified employees put a damper on their hiring plans last year. But data show that the job shortage is occurring at all levels of education, Heidi Shierholz, an economist with Washington, D.C., think tank Economic Policy Institute, said in a report this week.
"Workers with a college degree or more still have unemployment rates that are close to twice as high as they were before the recession began," Shierholz said.
"Unemployment is high not because workers lack the right education or skills, but because employers have not seen demand for their goods and services pick up enough to need to significantly ramp up hiring," she said.
One reason for the slower hiring trend could be that profit margins for many businesses still are down, said Ylrico Alexander, COO of Aries Enterprises. The Upper Marlboro shredding, construction and recycling company has a stronger hiring outlook this year and hopes to grow to 25 employees from its current 15 by the end of the year, he said.
"We are seeing the economy turning," Alexander said.
Still, clients continue to be more price-focused these days.
"That's something we all are having to deal with," Alexander said.
The four-year-old business also is looking at health insurance plans as it prepares to exceed 50 workers in the future, at which point it will need to provide employees insurance or pay a penalty under the Affordable Care Act.
"We believe we will eventually grow to beyond 50 employees, so we are planning for the future," Alexander said.
Gaithersburg food and facilities management company Sodexo is another employer that plans to hire in the near future, adding about 50 jobs over the next three years and agreeing to keep its North American headquarters in the city. Company officials were persuaded to stay, in part, by loans and other incentives from the state, Montgomery County and the city totaling some $4 million.
In White Marsh this week, executives of academic, business and governmental certification testing company Prometric announced plans to hire about 100 more people in the near future as it builds a $12 million support facility near its Baltimore headquarters. Prometric, which now has more than 450 employees in Maryland, has seen seven consecutive years of revenues and profit growth.
Sparks engineering firm KCI Technologies and Brotman Financial Group in Timonium are other Baltimore County employers seeing a hiring uptick.
"We're doing very well," said Michael Myers, operations manager of KCI, which has some 1,100 employees in more than 25 locations, with about 400 in Maryland.
M&T Bank of Buffalo, N.Y., the second-largest depositor bank in Maryland, is coming off a "tremendous" 2012, "positioning us well for continued success in 2013," CFO Rene F. Jones said this week in a conference call. M&T's Maryland deposits grew to $18.0 billion in 2012, up about 4 percent from the previous year.
Construction, an industry that has been slow to recover from the Great Recession, should see a more robust year, especially in Maryland, according to a recent Associated General Contractors of America survey. Some 56 percent of construction companies in Maryland plan to add jobs this year, the most among states and well above the national average of 31 percent.
The positive outlook from construction companies in the state comes as many report a decline in government projects. Hospitals and higher education buildings are fueling the surge. However, Gov. Martin O'Malley's proposed capital budget for fiscal 2014, announced this week, includes $336 million for school construction and upgrades, which would support more than 8,100 jobs, according to his office.
The stronger outlook in Maryland stems not just from its proximity to the federal government, but an optimism about more specific markets such as water and sewer, transportation, private office and schools, said Brian Turmail, executive director of public affairs for the Associated General Contractors of America of Arlington, Va.
"Those are all markets where nationally contractors are a lot less optimistic," Turmail said.
Still, there are some signs of trouble for all builders; for example, the large majority of construction companies report an increase in the cost of raw materials.
Many companies in Montgomery County still are concerned about what is happening with the federal budget, said Georgette Godwin, president and CEO of the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce. On New Year's Day, Congress put off for two months across-the-board cuts in projected federal spending increases known as sequestration.
But the county still is well-positioned to capitalize in key areas such as information technology and cybersecurity, she said.
"Businesses are by nature optimistic," Godwin said. "I would say there is a cautious optimism about the economy this year."
The emphasis on reducing the federal budget deficit will weigh on job growth in suburban Maryland and the Greater Washington, D.C., region, according to the 2013 first-quarter economic report from PNC Financial Services Group.
"Job growth will be close to the national average [in Greater Washington], instead of leading it, as was the case during the previous expansion," PNC economists said.
Even though sequestration is a concern, it's not as if federal agencies aren't going to spend any money, Lippman said.
"The key is to submit proposals that fulfill their needs," she said.

Using the Subcontracting Directory
Who the GSA Subcontracting Directory is for: The GSA Subcontracting Directory is published for small business concerns seeking subcontracting opportunities with General Services Administration (GSA) prime contractors.The directory lists large business prime contractors who, by law, are required to establish plans and goals for subcontracting with small business firms.
Who's in the directory:
- Large prime contractors who have received federal contracts, other than construction, valued at over $650,000
- Large prime contractors who have received federal contracts for construction valued at over $1.5 million
How to use the Subcontracting Directory: Eligible GSA contractors are listed alphabetically by name within each of the eleven GSA regions. Each listing contains:
- Company's name and address
- Place of performance
- Product/service code
- NAICS code
- Date signed
- Action obligation
- Vendor phone
- PIID (contract number)
- P/S Description
- NAICS description
- Effective date
- Estimated completion date
Small businesses are encouraged to contact prime contractors directly for subcontracting opportunities.
Regional assistance: Looking beyond the directory? The eleven regional GSA Small Business Centers offer more information regarding these opportunities.
If you want insight into what GSA expects from prime contractors when crafting a subcontracting agreement, review GSA's template model subcontracting plan (Section 508 compliant version), which it offers to prime contractors to help them frame their objectives.

These two saws were a gift to my BB guy to hang in the cabin. I painted them. The inside of the cabin has had no work done to it really, not even walls so for now they are just hanging above the patio door.Some time ago I posted this picture of the sun/moon medallion on my deck. I had several comments on how nice it was. I got it in Mexico and have never seen a similar one here.
When my BB guy and I came back from the trip to the Island last week this is what we found...

I have treasures hanging on the "zap strap" things.
They'll hold forever, I tell myself with fingers crossed.
Think of this as another treasure-hunting opportunity as you get to shop for something new [old] to fill the space.

OH NO! What a shame -- and no way to piece and glue it back together? It could be Scarface Sun/Moon then.
The saws are very nice -- you do good work!

Oh, the Wisconsin Northwoods girl in me LOVES that first saw with the snowy cabin scene, and YOU painted it???? WOW, you go girl!!!
I feel so bad about the broken sun/moon medallion. I'm over here giving you all the Awwwwwwwwwwwwww's I've got!

Love the two saws, they are both just gorgeous. Wow, how awful that the moon face is so broken. Very sad, it really was gorgeous. Hugs, Marty

Sorry about your sun guy, he was gorgeous. Maybe he can be turned into something crafty, a mosaic? Love the saws, very creative.
In response to your comments, yes I am trying to feel better, already up and moving, better than yesterday. Thankfully.
The cat, well.....he just helps himself to the food in the fridge. And the bowl of cat food on the kitchen floor. After all, he is king of the Catstle.

Lori - so sorry to see the destruction of your Sun/Moon!! Love your saws. Many years ago two of my friends kept telling me "anyone can tole paint". I didn't believe them -- until I took some lessons -- no where near as good as your artwork but I did surprise myself.

Bizarro Back Issues: The Hundred-Year-Old Robot That Stole Batman's Girlfriend in 1977
Batman is not exactly what you'd call a normal man. In pretty much every respect, he's at least steps beyond the average guy, and when he has problems, they go beyond the average too. For example, a normal people develop a crush on someone and not be sure how to express their feelings, or have the object of their affection spurn their advances, but that's generally where the problem stops

The 911 Carrera models offer advanced airbag technology in the form of full-size driver and front passenger airbags, which are inflated in two stages depending on the severity and type of accident (e.g. frontal or offset frontal). In less serious accidents, the airbags are only partially inflated, thereby minimising discomfort to the occupants.
In addition to the central airbag control unit on the transmission tunnel, a pair of impact sensors are located near the headlights. This allows a crash to be detected and evaluated not just sooner, but with even greater accuracy.
Coupé or Cabriolet, the 911 models are equipped as standard with the Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP). It comprises side impact protection elements in the doors and two airbags on each side. An integral thorax airbag is located in each seat side bolster, while the door panels each contain an upwardsinflating head airbag. Each thorax airbag has a volume of 10 litres and each head airbag 15 litres, ensuring excellent protection in the event of a side impact.

Recipe by Sally Renz Cummings
"My Aunt Jerre won THIRD PLACE with this recipe in the St. Louis Slow Cooker Cook Off in the past couple months! We are proud, proud, proud!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 1/2 pounds
pork tenderloin, cut into 2 inch strips
1 small
onion, coarsely chopped
1 small
red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
3 (15 ounce) cans
black beans
1 (16 ounce) jar
1/2 cup
chicken broth
1 teaspoon
dried oregano
1 teaspoon
ground cumin
2 teaspoons
chili powder
This was very good. I did make a few changes. My husband, a Chef, said you should use loin and not tenderloin. I used a loin roast and was perfect. I added cumin, coriander, a dark beer (fat tire, my favorite), and a spoon full of peanut butter. Sounds strange, but you only want enough fot the nutty flavor, helps bring out the flavors of the beans. Added hot sauce too. Severed over lime flavor chips, toped with black sour cream, cheese and black olives. To me, it was almost a gormet natchos not a chili, but the word chili is different in every place. I think I would take the lid off for an hour, to much liquid or add a little less broth, or even less beer, can always drink what you don't use, right.
I followed the recipe exactly and it was rather bland and watery, more like soup than chili. I then started adding other ingredients. For flavor and to thicken, I added one small can of tomato paste, half a bottle of beer, half cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup jalapeno slices. I probably will not make this recipe again.

Yes! My Auntie Jerre's! I love it made it several times. Last time, I added a bottle of beer, green chilies and then hot sauce at the end. Nice versatile recipe. She knows cooking...
I had some pork stew meat that I bought on clearance that I used in this recipe instead of a pork tenderloin (I am a mom on a very tight budget!). I did double the meat in this recipe only because I had two 1 1/2 pound packages that I needed to use. I tossed the stew meat with a little flour and the spices, then quickly browned the meat in a little EVOO before adding it to the crockpot. The recipe didn't specify which kind of salsa to use so I used salsa verde. This is cooking away right now--smells amazing. I'll update my review once we've had a chance to eat it. EDITED: VERY good. I liked this quite a bit. Next time, I think I'll add more red pepper and add a little more spices, maybe some fresh garlic, too.
A very different recipe for chili. A nice change. Make sure you don't add more chicken broth than the recipe calls for. Also, don't drain the black beans.
Love this recipe. I made it with "Smokin' Hot" Cilantro salsa and it was quite tasty. Please note, the nutrition information on the side looks to me to be off considerably. Based on the ingredients and 8 serving portions, I calculate it closer to 400 calories per serving rather than the 644 shown on the nutrition information. Do your own math!
This was very good. I used a pork roast instead of tenderloin to save money. I added 1 can of mild green chilis and adobo seasoning. Served over chips with sour cream.
I thought this was great. I also added green chilies like others recommended. Though I did serve this over a cilantro lime rice. The combo was really good.

Donna Korzun, a 55-year-old former occupational therapist in Dowagiac, Mich., has every reason to be disappointed with her roller-coaster ride through the real-estate market.
Korzun and her husband, a community-college music teacher, bought their modest Italianate house, built in the 1890s, for about $65,000 in 1996. Over the next decade or so, the two-story's value doubled. But, today, with the economy in southwestern Michigan hurting ("We've lost every major employer") and real-estate values declining almost everywhere since 2005, those gains all have melted away.
Now, she says, "my house is worth what I paid for it 15 years ago. I lost everything. I'm not upside-down, but I'm nowhere." In fact, Korzun says that when you consider all the improvements that she and her husband made—such as the Civil War-era shutters that the family spent years painstakingly hand-painting with an artist's brush—she would lose around $35,000 if she sold today.
And yet, Korzun says she's still glad she and her husband bought the house. They raised three children and one grandchild there, and the home is rich in memories, if not equity. "We all shared that one bathroom for showers—and, you know what, we all lived," she says. Ownership is deep in her family's veins. Her mother is just now selling a farm that the family has worked since 1877 (and only because her health is declining), and Korzun's in-laws have been in their home since 1950. "My dad would work in the factory all day and then I remember him plowing at night with the light on the tractor," she says. "So I knew that's the way you do it: Just don't get grandiose ideas."
Korzun's experience highlights a central theme in the latest Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll, which explored Americans' attitudes about homeownership. Even after a historic real-estate market upheaval that has sent foreclosure rates skyrocketing and housing values plummeting, homeownership retains a powerful, almost tidal, grip on the American imagination.
New-home starts may be depressed to historically low levels, but most Americans still aspire to a place of their own. Roughly four-fifths of those who responded to the poll say they consider owning a home a better financial decision than renting; nearly nine in 10 homeowners say, like Korzun, they would buy their home again; and seven in 10 Americans say they would advise a friend or family member to buy a home as a good way to build long-term assets, even though many economists might differ.
Those results underscore the extent to which most Americans still believe that owning a home is the correct personal decision for themselves and their family. But the poll shows that the public is much more ambivalent about whether the nation's focus on expanding homeownership remains a good thing for the country overall.
Americans have traditionally seen homeownership as a way to stabilize communities, but most respondents said they believed that the efforts to expand the dream have been destabilizing—by increasing foreclosures and burdening families with debt. And respondents divided exactly in half over whether the government should continue to promote homeownership with policies ranging from the mortgage-interest tax deduction to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's effective subsidies, or whether it should spend less money on those initiatives. Even about two in five homeowners say that Washington should revoke or retrench the mortgage deduction.
Korzun, despite all her affection for her own home, is one of many who wonder if Washington should ease off the push to encourage homeownership that has characterized federal policy since the Depression. "Incentives for homeownership give people the false idea that government thinks I should buy a house," she worries. And for those who are not "savvy starting out"—meaning most people, she believes—that assumption can lead them into dangerous waters. After the housing market's wild recent ride, Korzun may be putting it mildly.
The latest Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll is the eighth in a series exploring the ways that Americans are navigating the changing economy. The poll, conducted by Ed Reilly and Brent McGoldrick of FD, a communications-strategy consulting firm, surveyed 800 adults by landline and 200 more by cellphone from March 4 through March 8. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
Americans, the survey found, are relatively muted in their short-term economic expectations: Just 35 percent expect their finances to improve over the next year; 39 percent believe they will remain the same; and 23 percent believe they will deteriorate. That's just a slight improvement over December's Heartland survey, when 30 percent of respondents forecast improved conditions. Minorities are much more optimistic than whites. Among minorities, optimists outnumber pessimists by more than 4-to-1; whites divide equally between pessimism and optimism.

Electrolux Unveils "Vacs From the Sea" Made From Plastic Waste
Electrolux is a home appliance manufacturer and a large consumer of plastics, many of which are not recycled — but they'd like to change that. They claim that there is not enough quality recycled plastic available for them to utilize in their products, so they launched their campaign, Vacs from the Sea, to help bring about change in the industry. In conjunction with the Vacs from the Sea initiative, Electrolux has also released a new green vacuum, the Electrolux Ultra One Green-model, which uses 70% recycled plastic for the body of the vacuum.
The other half of the campaign is to help raise more awareness about the amount of plastic in our oceans, so they sponsored five teams of divers and collectors to the North Sea, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, the Pacific Ocean, and the Baltic Sea to collect plastic trash. A large assortment of plastic trash was sorted and crafted to create the front plastic panel of a limited edition of the Ultra One Green vacuums, which utilize the same chassis, engine, and bag compartment and operate exactly the same. The plastic casing on each vacuum represents the ocean from which it was collected.

@geva: – raising awareness and marketing are too separate things too.
Raising awareness can be done differently, in a productive and positive manner, ie, using 100% recycled plastic, using PLA plastic, introducing a takeback or swap-for-new scheme, …. whatever. And THEN do some good marketing with that one. But instead we continue being sold cheap vacs that will be tossed after a short while because some tiny plastic piece broke somewhere and the whole thing goes to landfill. Nobody usually even bothers to disassemble it or reuse parts. And it's mostly not designed for being reused anyway.
Why can't we make things that can be repaired instead of tossed? Repaired for a price less than a new one. That's how it was for the whole of mankind's history until a few decades ago.
I guess we have to generally think about the way we manufacture and distribute things.
October 30, 2010 at 6:56 am
@ingoratsdorf – there was obviously an excessive amount of energy consumed for this project… the point is raising awareness globally. If they had said "made from plastic we found within our local area" the message and the impact that it would make on people would simply not be the same. Raising awareness, and being sustainable are not the same thing.

Great idea!
Getting people to think about all that plastic without being browbeaten or shamed is important. Getting people to change their habits is harder.
Kudos to you!
October 27, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Nice marketing gag. Clever really.
But how much energy and fuel went into this exercise? How much petrol spent for travel, why using purpose made buckets and bags (from virgin plastic) to collect the rubbish to then use UP to 70% (could be less – it's just a max.) to manufacture new stuff for collectors.
It still does not solve the issue of having the rubbish in the oceans in the first place.
Why are we chucking and tossing it in there in the first place?
Whether this type of marketing will really change the world or just the companies revenue – time will tell.

This aerial panoramic photograph of Pebble Beach Golf
Links was taken by James Blakeway. The famous course was a vision of Samuel
F.B. Morse, a distant relative of the inventor of Morse Code and the telegraph.
Located on the Monterey Peninsula in California, Pebble Beach was designed
by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant and opened for play in 1919. Pebble Beach
is bordered by the incredible natural beauty of Carmel Bay and has a very
rich history, including 10 USGA championships and nearly six decades as
an annual host to the National Pro-Am. Unlike other courses of its stature,
Pebble Beach remains open to public play.
Welcome to, arguably, the world's most picturesque course! From James
Blakeway's breathtaking Worldwide Panoramas collection comes this
wonder of mother nature, with its beautiful combination of sky, mountains,
surf, and lush green fairways. Perfect for the wall of anyone who has played
the course, or has a dream of one day bringing the clubs out to the West
coast for a round. A truly spectacular piece for your wall!

Top Questions About Rifle Ammo
A Brief History of Rifle Ammunition
The United States and the world has come a long way to get to the performance you'll find in the 223/5.56x45 calibers on shooting ranges today. In fact, rifles have a history dating back to the early 1600's when the first flintlock rifle was loaded for King Louis XIII of France. Since then, engineering and innovation have helped rifle shooters carry lighter firearms that shoot more accurately with each passing decade.
In the early 1700's, it was long rifles that started to become popular among early American settlers. At a stout seven to 10 pounds, these firearms, called Pennsylvania or Kentucky Rifles, were used in both the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
One of the next major developments was the concept of a repeating rifle. Invented by Christopher Spencer in 1863, the Spencer Repeating Rifle held seven rounds in its magazine and came equipped with a lever under the trigger. Several years later, the concept of a lever action would be among the favored rifles of one of the most popular presidents known to be a firearms fanatic, Theodore Roosevelt. At that point, more and more Americans started to appreciate firearms for their potential in bringing down large game to feed their families.
From there, the rifle evolved into bolt action, centerfire models. These included the rifle of choice in World War I, the 1903 Springfield designed for use with 30-06 ammo. Of course 30-06 is not uncommon to see being fired at ranges even today.
Shortly after the first World War, things became a little more familiar to today's modern shooter. In World War II, servicemen used semi-automatic Garand rifles (known as M1). These .30 caliber rifles could fire one round of ammunition each time the trigger was pulled.
Today, America's rifle of choice is clearly the AR-15. Chambered in either 5.56x45 NATO or the .223 Remington civilian round these rifles are light-weight with minimal recoil and are an absolute joy to shoot. While there are few calibers that can touch the 223/5.56's popularity, shooters have diverse tastes. Calibers like .308 (or 7.62x51) and 300 AAC Blackout are all extremely popular among plinkers with each rifle caliber bringing its own set of benefits to the shooter based on his or her needs. On the other side of the world, 7.62x39 is the preferred caliber of AK-47 shooters while the smaller and lighter AK-74 is best loaded up with 5.45x39 ammo and is very popular in Russia and other areas of Asia.

After the crime: the power of restorative justice. Dialogues between victims and violent offenders
Violence, rape, murder and other abusive crimes: not usually pleasant subjects to read about, yet Susan Miller's book left this reader with a positive feeling. This is largely due to Miller herself, who presents the information in a straightforward, sympathetic but non-judgemental way; to Kim Book, who started the organization Victims' Voices Heard after her daughter was murdered; and to the participants themselves. Not all victims felt able to forgive, and this should not be a criterion for 'success'; but they followed the Amish precept: don't balance hurt with hate. Not all offenders accepted full responsibility. Miller divides restorative justice into diversion, taking the place of the criminal justice process for relatively minor cases, and 'therapeutic' RJ, where the offender is already in custody or has served a prison term. These cases are all in the latter category.

Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari may have to wait until the New Year to learn whether they have Toro Rosso race-seats for 2012.
The duo, who together scored 41 points this season to put Toro Rosso eighth in the Constructors' Championship, are by no means guaranteed a race-seat with the Red Bull junior team for next season.
In fact, they could both be replaced as Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne, both from Red Bull's stable of young drivers, are vying for a place with the team.
"It's a luxury problem, and I'm sure we'll find a solution," Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko told F1 journalist Adam Cooper.
"We will analyse it. There's no need for next year, we are talking about 2013, so we have time, and all four of them can prove something.
"We have a meeting in Salzburg later in December, and then we go through all the possibilities."
Pressed to comment on his current drivers, Buemi and Alguersuari, Marko said: "I would say they both improved from mid-season onwards, unfortunately Buemi had more technical issues.
"But still, we are not looking for a good F1 driver, we are looking for a top F1 driver."

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
One of our readers in Oregon suggested that we would be interested in this, a sermon her pastor preached a couple of years ago. She's right. Dr. Ben Cross, of First Baptist Church in Eugene holds a young earth view of creation. In this message he lays out various positions that evangelicals hold, including what he calls "theistic evolution."
In this essay, Hastings looks at "front edge" areas for promoting healthy dialogue in the field of science and Christian theology, areas which are specifically theological in nature.
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
Hastings provides a biblical and theological basis for healthy and fruitful dialogue on the theology and science of origins.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.

Metropolitan Areas. Standard definitions of metropolitan areas (MA's) are issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to be used in the presentation of statistics by agencies of the Federal Government. OMB establishes the geographic definition of each area following detailed technical criteria developed with the advice of the Federal Committee on Metropolitan Areas, which is composed of representatives of the major Federal statistical agencies.
In 1992 and 1993 OMB redefined MA's. These new definitions are not reflected in this report.
The general concept of a metropolitan area is that of a population nucleus of 50,000 and over, generally consisting of a city and its immediate suburbs, together with adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with that nucleus. MA's are defined in terms of counties, the smallest geographic units for which a wide range of statistical data can be obtained. In New England, however, the definitions are in terms of cities and towns, because these subcounty units are of great local significance and considerable data are available for them.
By the current standards, an area qualifies for recognition as an MA in one of two ways - if there is a city of at least 50,000 population, or a Census Bureau defined urbanized area of at least 50,000 with a total metropolitan population of at least 100,000 (75,000 in New England). In addition to the county containing the main city, an MA also includes additional counties having strong economic and social ties to the central county, determined chiefly by the extent of the Census Bureau urbanized area and census data on commuting to work. New England MA's are defined in terms f a core area and related cities and towns. A metropolitan area may contain more than one city of 50,000 population and may cross State lines. If an MA has more than 1 million population and meets certain other specified requirements, it is termed a consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA), consisting of major components recognized as primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSA's).
Geographic regions. The four major regions of the United States for which data are presented in this report represent groups of States as follows:
Northeast: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania.
Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota.
South: Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas.
West: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington.
Housing Unit. A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a group of rooms, or a single room occupied or intended for occupancy as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants do not live and eat with other persons in the structure and which have direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. For vacant units, the criteria of separateness and direct access are applied to the intended occupants whenever possible. If the information cannot be obtained, the criteria are applied to the previous occupants. Tents and boats are excluded if vacant, used for business, or used for extra sleeping space or vacations. Vacant seasonal/migratory mobile homes are included in the count of vacant seasonal/migratory housing units.
Living quarters of the following types are excluded from the housing unit inventory: Dormitories, bunkhouses, and barracks; quarters in predominantly transient hotels, motels, and the like, except those occupied by persons who consider the hotel their usual place of residence; quarters in institutions, general hospitals, and military installations except those occupied by staff members or resident employees who have separate living arrangements.
Occupied Housing Units. A housing unit is occupied if a person or group of persons is living in it at the time of the interview or if the occupants are only temporarily absent, as for example, on vacation. The persons living in the unit must consider it their usual place of residence or have no usual place of residence elsewhere. The count of occupied housing units is the same as the count of households.
Householder. The householder refers to the person (or one of the persons) in whose name the housing unit is owned or rented or, if there is no such person, any adult member, excluding roomers, boarders, or paid employees. If the house is jointly owned by a married couple, either the husband or the wife may be listed first, thereby becoming the reference person, or householder, to whom the relationship of the other household members is recorded. One person in each household is designated as the "householder."
Vacant Housing Units. A housing unit is vacant if no one is living in it at the time of the interview, unless its occupants are only temporarily absent. In addition, a vacant unit may be one which is entirely occupied by persons who have a usual residence elsewhere.
New units not yet occupied are classified as vacant housing units if construction has reached a point where all exterior windows and doors are installed and final usable floors are in place. Vacant units are excluded if they are exposed to the elements, that is, if the roof, walls, windows, or doors no longer protect the interior from the elements, or if there is positive evidence (such as a sign on the house or block) that the unit is to be demolished or is condemned. Also excluded are quarters being used entirely for nonresidential purposes, such as a store or an office, or quarters used for the storage of business supplies or inventory, machinery, or agricultural products.
Vacant sleeping rooms in lodging houses, transient accommodations, barracks, and other quarters not defined as housing units are not included in the statistics in this report. (See section on "Housing Unit.")
Year-round Vacant Units. Beginning in 1990, year-round vacant mobile homes were included as part of the year-round vacant count of housing units. Year-round units are those intended for occupancy at any time of the year, even though they may not be in use the year round. In resort areas, a housing unit which is usually occupied on a year-round basis is considered a year-round unit. As indicated above, year-round units temporarily occupied by persons with usual residence elsewhere are included with year-round vacant units.
Year-round vacant units are classified in the following categories:
Vacant units for rent. This group consists of vacant units offered for rent and those offered both for rent and sale.
Vacant units for sale only. This group is limited to units for sale only; it excludes units both for rent and sale. If a unit was located in a multi-unit structure which was for sale as an entire structure and if the unit was not for rent, it was reported as "held off market." However, if the individual unit was intended to be occupied by the new owner, it was reported as "for sale."
Vacant units rented or sold. This group consists of year-round vacant units which have been rented or sold but the new renters or owners have not moved in as of the day of interview.
Vacant units held off the market. Included in this category are units held for occasional use, temporarily occupied by persons with usual residence elsewere, and vacant for other reasons. These classifications are described below.
For occasional use. If the vacant unit is not for-rent or for-sale-only but is held for weekends or occasional use thoughout the year, the unit is included in this catagory. Time-shared units are classified in this category if the vacant unit is not for-rent or for-sale-only, but held for use for an individual during the time of interview.
Units Occupied by Persons With Usual Residence Elsewhere. A housing unit which is occupied temporarily by persons who usually live elsewhere is interviewed as a vacant unit provided that a usual place of residence is held for the household which is not offered for rent or for sale. For example, a beach cottage occupied at the time of the interview by a family which has a usual place of residence in the city is included in the count of vacant units. Their house in the city would be reported "occupied" and would be included in the count of occupied units since the occupants are only temporarily absent. Units occupied by persons with usual residence elsewhere (URE) are further classified as seasonal vacant or year round vacant units.
Other vacant. Included in this category are year-round units which were vacant for reasons other than those mentioned above: For example, held for occupancy of a caretaker, janitor; held for settlement of an estate, or held for personal reasons of the owner.
Seasonal Vacant Units. Seasonal housing units are those intended for occupancy only during certain seasons of the year and are found primarily in resort areas. Housing units held for occupancy by migratory labor employed in farm work during the crop season are tabulated as seasonal. As of the first quarter 1986 vacant seasonal mobile homes are being counted as a part of the seasonal housing inventory.
Vacancy and Homeownership Rates. In this report several measures are shown for vacant housing units that are on the market for rent or for sale only. Measures are also shown for homeownership rates.
Rental Vacancy Rate. The rental vacancy rate is the proportion of the rental inventory which is vacant for rent. In tables 1 and 2, the rates are computed using the following formula:
Rental Vacancy Rates by Selected Characteristics. The rental vacancy rates shown in table 3 are the percent relationship of the vacant year-round units for rent with a specific characteristic (such as 3-room units) to all rental units with that specific characteristic. Excluded from the denominator are year-round units rented but awaiting occupancy. The rates are computed as follows:
For example, the numerator for the rental vacancy rate for units with 3 rooms is all vacant year-round for rent units with 3 rooms. The denominator is: (1) all renter occupied units with 3 rooms and (2) vacant year-round units for rent with 3 rooms.
Homeowner Vacancy Rate. The homeowner vacancy rate is the proportion of the homeowner inventory which is vacant for sale. In tables 1 and 2, the rates are computed using the following formula:
Homeowner Vacancy Rates by Selected Characteristics. The homeowner vacancy rates shown in table 3 are the percent relationship of the vacant year-round units for sale with a specific characteristic (such as 3-room units) to all homeowner units with that specific characteristic. Excluded from the denominator are year-round units sold but awaiting occupancy. The rates are computed as follows:
For example, the numerator for the homeowner vacancy rate for units with 3 rooms is all vacant year-round units for sale only with 3 rooms.
The denominator is: (1) all owner occupied units with 3 rooms and (2) vacant year-round units for sale with 3 rooms.
Homeownership Rates. The proportion of households that are owners is termed the homeownership rate. It is computed by dividing the number of households that are owners by the total number of households (table 5 and 6). The formula is as follows:
Homeownership by Age of Householder. This homeownership rate is calculated by dividing the number of owner household in a particular age group by the total number of occupied households in that age group (table 7).
Other Occupancy and Vacancy Rates. The percent distribution of vacant and occupied housing units, shown in tables 10 and 11, are shown as a percent of all housing units and are computed using the following formula:
For example, the numerator for the for-rent rate is all year-round vacant units for rent. The denominator is all housing units.
Tenure. A unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit, even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for. A cooperative or condominium unit is "owner occupied" only if the owner or co-owner lives in it. All other occupied units are classified as "renter occupied," including units rented for cash rent and those occupied without payment of cash rent.
Number of Rooms. Includedl in the count of rooms were whole rooms such as living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, finished basements or attics, recreation rooms, permanently enclosed sun porches which are suitable for year-round use, and lodger's rooms. A partially divided room, such as dinette next to a kitchen or living room was counted as a separate room only if there was a partition from floor to ceiling, but was not counted as a room if the partition consisted solely of shelves or cabinets. Not included in the count of rooms were bathrooms, halls, foyers or vestibules, balconies, closets, alcoves, pantries, strip or pullman kitchens, laundry or furnace rooms, unfinished attics or basements, open porches, sun porches not suited for year-round use, unfinished space used for storage, mobile homes or trailers used only as bedrooms, and offices used only by persons not living in the unit. A room used by the occupants of more than one unit was included with the unit from which it could be most easily reached.
The median number of rooms is the theoretical value which divides the housing units equally, one-half having more rooms and one-half having fewer rooms than the median. In the computation of the median, a continuous distribution was assumed. For example, when the median was in the three-room group, the lower and upper limits were assumed to be 2.5 and 3.5, respectively. Tenths were used in the computation of the median to permit comparisons.
Number of Bedrooms. Rooms used mainly for sleeping, even if used for other purposes, were counted as bedrooms. Also included in the count of bedrooms were rooms reserved for sleeping, such as guest rooms, even though used infrequently. A room used mainly for other purposes, although also used for sleeping, such as a living room with a hide-away bed, was not counted as a bedroom. A one-room apartment, therefore, was reported as having no bedroom.
Number of Housing Units in Structure. A structure is a separate building which either has open space on all four sides or is separated from other structures by dividing walls that extend from ground to roof. In double houses, row houses, and houses attached to nonresidential structures, each building is a structure if the common wall between them goes from ground to roof. Sheds and private garages which adjoin houses are not counted as separate structures. In apartment developments, each building with open space on all sides is considered a separate structure. The count of housing units in a structure is the total number of units in the structure, both occupied and vacant units. In the tabulations, occupied mobile homes or trailers, tents, and boats are included in the category one housing unit in structure.
The statistics reflect the number of housing units in the structure in which they are located, rather than the number of residential structures. In the quarterly surveys, data were obtained on the number of housing units in the structure, regardless of the type of structures in which the unit was located.
Year Structure Built. "Year structure built" refers to the date the original construction of the structure was completed, and not to any later remodeling, addition, or conversion. The figures on the number of units built during a given period relate to the number of units in existence at the time of interview. For both occupied and vacant mobile homes, "model year" is the year built.
Duration of Vacancy. The length of time a housing unit was vacant was computed from the day the unit became vacant until the day of the interview. The data, therefore, do not provide a direct measure of the total length of time units remain vacant. For newly constructed units, the duration of vacancy represents the time period since the date when the unit was considered a vacant housing unit, that is, when construction had reached the point that all exterior windows and doors were installed and final usable floors were in place. For recently converted or merged units, the length of time is reported from the date the conversion or merger was completed. For units temporarily occupied by persons with a usual residence elsewhere, duration of vacancy is the length of time since the last usual residents moved; if the unit was always occupied by persons with usual residence elsewhere the time is reported from the date the unit was originally ready for occupancy.
The time intervals used in the tables represent full months, calculated from a date in the month to the same date the following month. For example, if the unit became vacant on July 29 and was still vacant on the day interviewed, September 20, the time reported would be "1 to 2 months," meaning that the unit had been vacant for more than 1 month but less than 2 months. Or if the unit became vacant on August 25 and was still vacant on September 20, the time reported would be "less than 1 month."
Previous Occupancy. A unit was classified as being "previously occupied" if the unit had ever been occupied or if the unit was occupied by persons with a usual residence elsewhere. If a previously occupied unit had been converted into several housing units, each unit was classified as being previously occupied. Also, housing units that resulted from conversion of nonresidential space or from a merger was reported as being previously occupied. Only vacant newly constructed units were classified as "not previously occupied."
Contract Rent. For renter-occupied units, the contract rent is the monthly rent agreed upon regardless of any furnishings, utilities, or services that may be included. For vacant units, rent is the amount asked for the unit at the time of interview; the amount may differ from the rent contracted for when the unit is occupied. Data for contract rent excludes units for which no cash rent is paid. As in the 1980 census, the statistics are limited to specified rental units. These data exclude rents for renter-occupied and vacant for-rent single-family structures on places of 10 acres or more.
The median monthly rent is the rent which divides the series into two equal parts, one-half of the units with rents higher than the median and the other half with rents lower than the median. In the computation of the median, a continuous distribution was assumed, and the limits of the class intervals were assumed to stand at the midpoint of the 1-dollar interval between the end of one of the rent groups and the beginning of the next. For example, the limits of the interval designated $250 to $299 were assumed to be $249.50 and $299.50.
Inclusion of Utilities in Rent. The utilities included in the inquiry were electricity, gas, water, oil, coal, wood, and kerosene, etc. The statistics reflect whether all or some or none of these utilities are provided for in the amount of rent asked at the time of the interview. A unit was classified as having "all utilities included" if the cost of the utilities are included in the rent at no additional cost to the renter or if the utilities would not be used by the renter. A unit was classified as having "some or none included" if all or part of the utilities are to be paid for separately by the renter in addition to the rent asked. Data on the inclusion of utilities are limited to vacant units for which rent is reported. No data on utilities are collected for renter-occupied units.
Value. Value is the respondent's estimate of how much the property would sell for on the current market. For vacant units, value is the sales price asked for the property at the time of the interview and may differ from the price at which the property is sold. The "sales price asked" includes the price of a one-housing-unit structure and the land on which it is located. The "sales price asked" may also include additional structures such as garages, sheds, barns, etc.
In this report, statistics on value for owner-occupied units and vacant for-sale-only units are limited to specified homeowner units which includes all one-housing unit structures located on places of less than 10 acres, without a commercial establishment or medical office on the property and with only one-housing unit on the property.
The median value or sales price is the amount which divides the series into two equal parts, one-half of the units with values higher than the median and the other half with values lower than the median. The median was computed on the basis of more detailed tabulation groups than are shown in the tables and was rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.

Classic blablas
Ulysse the Horse
Blabla was created by two best friends who traveled to Peru and found wonderful handknit finger puppets knit by local artists. They then created their own designs and continue to work with the artists and local knitters in Peru. All of the dolls and animals are made of natural fibers grown in Peru. They are all knitted in Peru by local artisians. Their dolls and animals are whimsical and loving, soft and cuddly. Blabla's poetic, simple and vibrant style combined with the ancestral knowledge of the knitters allowed them to create products which look contemporary, yet feel like old friends. The blablas are wonderful gifts for new babies as well as their big brothers and sisters!
Features and specifications:
Albert the Donkey
Coco Girl
Socks the Fox
There are so many plush items out there but none caught our eye quite like the blablas did. The dolls are wonderfully soft and so well made. We love that they are handmade in Peru by local artisians who work directly with the designer and folks at blabla. There is so much detail in the dolls - from the tattoo on Otto's arm to the fish in the pocket of Cumulus. The quality is outstanding and any of the blablas would be well loved by a child that received it. All three of my children love them!
