Recipe by LARANEFF
"This is a great 'guy' recipe, because you simply mix, assemble, top and bake; and it's a big hit on the table. It doesn't require lots of prep work, just a minimum of measuring of ingredients found in any grocery store. She will think you slaved all afternoon!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

4 ounces
cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup
sour cream
1/2 cup
green salsa
2 (6 ounce) packages
seasoned cooked chicken cubes
1 cup
shredded Mexican-style cheese blend
1 1/2 cups
white cheese sauce, or queso dip
6 (8 inch)
flour tortillas
It's my recipe, of course I love it. Some quick notes: a jar of Tostitos Monterey Jack Queso dip (in the chip aisle) works great for the sauce. Also, depending on the size of your tortillas, sometimes a larger baking dish works better. Enjoy!
I'm sorry, but my hubs and I didn't care for this at all. :( Your recipe definitely earns points for being easy to throw together, but is barely worth 2 stars tastewise. The queso was off-putting, there was too much of it and the enchilada filling was excessively creamy. Every bite was mushy and artificial tasting (it goes without saying that pre-processed ingredients are convenient but tasteless). Maybe these will float your boat, but it certainly didn't ours. Thanks anyways, LARANEFF.

Oh man. I just made this recipe as a gift for my brother, who doesn't cook, and my mother, who just started radiation treatment for breast cancer and is too tired to cook. I doubled it and sampled an enchilada for myself, and it's one of the best things I've ever made off this website. I followed it to the letter. It's got the perfect amount of "kick" to it. The filling was easy to make. The enchiladas were easy to put together. I don't think I could have asked for anything more!
We really liked this - with a few tweaks it could be perfect! Next time I'll try adding jalapenos or chiles as we thought it could use just a little more kick.
These were fabulous and SUPER easy! I made my own white cheese sauce because I did not have any jarred sauce on hand, and it was still delicious. I also put some re-fried beans in the same baking dish and it made it a great one-dish meal. I will definatley be making them again!
This recipe was very good., I put some spanish rice with black beans on the bottom of the pan ,then placed the Enchiladas on top. The mix was great!
Ridiculous. The only enchilada I would use the word "decadent" to describe. I used a 9x13" pan though, and stuffed 6 very fat enchiladas in it. As an added toping, I spread some remaining filling on top, followed with a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese and a thin layer of bread crumbs to give it a nice baked crust that added some nice crunchy texture.
Love it!!! used the queso suggested, and it was fabulous. Uses low fat/no fat sour cream/cream cheese/tortillas and it still tasted great. Will make again & again.

Industry Groups
Establishments involved in forestry operations are classified in NAICS Code 113. 15763In 2012 there were 15,763 forestry establishment listed under the NAICS Code 113. These establishments are divided among three distinct industry groups:
Timber tract operations (NAICS code 1131): This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in the operation of timber tracts for the purpose of selling standing timber.
Forest nurseries and gathering of forest products (NAICS code 1132): This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing trees for reforestation and/or (2) gathering forest products, such as gums, barks, balsam needles, rhizomes, fibers, Spanish moss, ginseng, and truffles.
Logging (NAICS code 1133): This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in one or more of the following: (1) cutting timber; (2) cutting and transporting timber; and (3) producing wood chips in the field.
Forest Land
The U.S. Forest Service defines a forested area as "forest land" if it is at least 1 acre in size and at least 10 percent occupied by forest trees of any size or formerly having had such tree cover and not currently developed for non-forest use.(Examples of nonforest uses include areas for crops, improved pasture, residential areas, and other similar areas.) Forest land includes transition zones, such as areas between heavily forested and nonforested lands that are at least 10 percent stocked with forest trees, and forest areas adjacent to urban and built-up lands.
The United States has about 751.2million acres of forest land. (U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2012; 2007 data) Of that land, approximately 249.1 million acres (33.8 percent) are owned by the Federal Government. The remaining 487.6 million acres are owned by nonfederal entities, such as State or local governments, private citizens, or companies.
The majority of Federal forest land is managed as the national forest system (NFS). The NFS includes:
- National Forests reserved from the U.S. public domain,
- National Forests acquired through purchase, exchange, donation, or other means,
- National grasslands,
- Other lands, waters, or interests administered by the U.S. Forest Service (FS) or designated for administration through the FS as part of the system.
The NFS manages 155 national forests and 20 national grasslands and contains 193 million acres, (193/112) or 77 percent, of Federal forest lands. The NFS is contained in 44 States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands and employs 30,000 people. Of the remaining nonfederal forests, privately held commercial forest lands make up the largest portion, accounting for 347 million acres (71 percent). (National Forest Service)
Seven-Tenths of U.S. forest lands, or 514.2 million acres of the total 751.2 million acres of forest land, are classified as timberlands. Timberlands are defined as forest lands used for the production of commercial wood products. Commercial timberland can be used for repeated growing and harvesting of trees.
Of the 514.2 million acres of timberland, Federal, State, and local governments own 112.7 million acres (22 percent) and non-industrial private entities own 401.5 million acres (78 percent). Private timberlands are mostly on small tracts of forest land. (U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2012; 2007 data)
Consumption of Forestry Products
The United States is one of the world's leading producers and consumers of forest products. Before the 2008-2009 global recession, which pushed the forest product industry into a recession as well, the United States was the world's leading producer and consumer of forest products. In December 2012, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reported that the global forest products industry began recovering from the economic crisis and China has begun to emerge as a leading producer and consumer. Other top producers include Canada, Brazil, Russia, Germany, and Japan. The United States is the world's largest producer of industrial roundwood, sanwood, and fibre furnish (2011 Global Forest Products Facts and Figures).
The U.S. forest products industry produces $200 billion in sales a year and employs about one million workers. The forest production industry is also the leading generator and user of renewable energy. In 2011 the U.S. forest production industry recovered 66.8 percent of paper consumed.

Cooperative Forestry Assistance
Cooperative Forestry Assistance helps State Foresters or equivalent agencies with forest stewardship programs on private, State, local, and other non-Federal forest and rural lands, plus rural communities and urban areas. This assistance is provided through the following programs: Forest Stewardship Program, Stewardship Incentive Program, Economic Action Programs, Urban and Community Forestry Program, Cooperative Lands Forest Health Protection Program, and Cooperative Lands Fire Protection Program. These programs help to achieve ecosystem health and sustainability by improving wildlife habitat, conserving forest land, reforestation, improving soil and water quality, preventing and suppressing damaging insects and diseases, wildfire protection, expanding economies of rural communities, and improving urban environments.

Forestry Incentives Program
The Forestry Incentives Program (FIP) is intended to ensure the Nation's ability to meet future demand for sawtimber, pulpwood, and quality hardwoods. FIP provides cost-share monies (up to 65 percent of total cost) to help with the costs of tree planting, timber stand improvements, and related practices on nonindustrial private forest lands. In addition to ensuring a future supply of timber, FIP's forest maintenance and reforestation provides numerous natural resource benefits, including reduced soil erosion and wind and enhanced water quality and wildlife habitat.

Forestry Incentives Program
Climate Change
The most intensively managed industry and private forestlands may be least at risk of long-term decline from the impacts of climate change because the relatively high value of these resources is likely to encourage adaptive management strategies. Private forest managers have the financial incentive and the flexibility to protect against extensive loss from climate-related impacts. They can use several available techniques: short rotations to reduce the length of time that a tree is influenced by unfavorable climate conditions; planting of improved varieties developed through selection, breeding, or genetic engineering to reduce vulnerability; and thinning, weeding, managing pests, irrigating, improving drainage, and fertilizing to improve general vigor. Such actions would reduce the probability of moisture stress and secondary risks from fire, insects, and disease. However, the more rapid the rate of climate change, the more it may strain the ability to create infrastructure for seeding or planting of trees, or to support the supply of timber if there is a large amount of salvage. A fast rate of warming also may limit species constrained by slow dispersal rates and/or habitat fragmentation, or those that are already stressed by other factors, such as pollution.

Management Measures To Control Nonpoint Source Pollution from Forestry
This guidance document is intended to provide technical assistance to state water quality and forestry program managers, nonindustrial private forest owners, industrial forest owners, and others involved with forest management on the best available, most eco-nomically achievable means of reducing the nonpoint source pollution of surface and groundwaters that can result from forestry activities. The guidance:
- Provides background information about nonpoint source pollution from forestry activities, including where it comes from and how it enters our waters.
- Presents the most current technical information about how to minimize and reduce nonpoint source pollution to forest waters
- Discusses the broad concept of assessing and addressing water quality problems on a watershed level. By assessing and addressing water quality problems at the watershed level, state program managers and others involved with forest management can integrate concerns about forestry activities with those of other resource management activities to identify conflicting requirements and provide balance between short-term impacts and long-term benefits.
The guidance is national in scope, so it does not address local or regional soils, climates, or forest types.

Managing Non-Point-Source Pollution in Coastal WatersEPA specifies management measures to protect coastal waters from silvicultural sources of non-point pollution.
Management Measures
"Management measures" are defined in section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments of 1990 (CZARA) as economically achievable measures to control the addition of pollutants to our coastal waters, which reflect the greatest degree of pollutant reduction achievable through the application of the best available nonpoint pollution control practices, technologies, processes, siting criteria, operating methods, or other alternatives.
These management measures will be incorporated by States into their coastal non-point programs, which under CZARA are to provide for the implementation of management measures that are "in conformity" with this guidance. Under CZARA, States are subject to a number of requirements as they develop and implement their Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Programs in conformity with this guidance and will have some flexibility in doing so.
Management Practices
In addition to specifying management measures, EPA also lists and describes management practices for illustrative purposes only. While State programs are required to specify management measures in conformity with this guidance, State programs need not specify or require implementation of the particular management practices described by EPA. However, as a practical matter, EPA anticipates that the management measures generally will be implemented by applying one or more management practices appropriate to the site, location, type of operation, and climate. The practices have been found by EPA to be representative of the types of practices that can be applied successfully to achieve the management measures. EPA has also used some of these practices, or appropriate combinations of these practices, as a basis for estimating the effectiveness, costs, and economic impacts of achieving the management measures.

Guidance Documents and Manuals
Pollution Prevention / Environmental Impact Reduction Checklist
Forestry activities can have a variety of impacts on the environment. Sediment concentrations can increase in waterbodies due to accelerated erosion; water temperatures can increase due to removal of overstory riparian shade; slash and other organic debris can accumulate in waterbodies, depleting dissolved oxygen; organic and inorganic chemical concentrations in the environment can increase due to harvesting and fertilizer and pesticide applications; and air quality can be affected by dust from road construction, site preparation, harvesting, and hauling activities and by particulate release from prescription slash burning. A major consideration in many ecosystems is the impact of monoculture forestry that simplifies the ecosystem, leaving it vulnerable to disease and other environmental factors. The use of pollution prevention in forestry activities can reduce these environmental effects.
Wetlands Silviculture
A long-standing silvicultural issue affecting forested wetlands in the Southeast has been resolved by adopting an innovative approach, developed in coordination with forestry industry, environmental community, and State and Federal representatives. The resolution clarifies the applicability of forested wetlands best management practices to mechanical silvicultural site preparation activities for the establishment of pine plantations in the Southeast. Mechanical silvicultural site preparation activities conducted in accordance with the best management practices discussed below, which are designed to minimize impacts to the aquatic ecosystem, will not require a Clean Water Act Section 404 permit. These best management practices further recognize that certain wetlands should not be subject to unpermitted mechanical silvicultural site preparation activities because of the adverse nature of potential impacts associated with these activities on these sites.

Local History and Genealogy Notes
The Ghosts of Floods Past
Posted on December 18, 2014
The recent storms that took Foss Creek through downtown Healdsburg and put the Russian River just above flood stage at Guerneville were nothing to sneeze at for anyone living or working in low-lying areas, but...for anyone who's lived in Sonoma County for a while, floods have always been a recurring adventure. And while not a major theme in the Library's collection, we do have a good sampling that show the effects of our big storms.
We've typically experienced major flooding every ten to 15 years (though sometimes more often), with really big ones roughly every twenty years, including the 1986 flood on the Russian River that crested at 48.7 feet in Guerneville.
|Record flood at Guerneville, 1986 (SCL photo # 7741)
60 years earlier, Petaluma was inundated.
|California Garage at 10 Washington Street in Petaluma under floodwaters, 1912 (SCL photo # 13693)
Floods during the late 1930s and early 1940s affected towns up and down the Russian River watershed, leaving piles of debris everywhere once the water receded.
|Debris piled against Hacienda Bridge near Forestville, 1937 (SCL photo # 16409)
|Flood damage at Riverview Lodge, Guerneville, California, 1940 (SCL photo # 16415)
In the flood of 1955, an airlift was necessary to get stranded Guerneville residents out to drier land.
|Helicopter in the Safeway parking lot to air lift people during a flood, Guerneville, California, 1955 (SCL photo # 20164)
The 1964 flood wreaked havoc throughout Northern California, hitting the Eel River watershed particularly hard, but doing a lot of damage in Sonoma County as well. This flood, following the 1955 flood, was one of the main factors behind the push for flood control efforts throughout the county, including Warm Springs Dam (Lake Sonoma).
|Flood waters surround the Barlow Company buildings on McKinley Street, Sebastopol, 1964 (SCL photo # 3078)
Despite flood control, the 1986 flood was nearly as bad as the 1964 floods. Even Spring Lake filled higher than ever before.

Santa Rosa's library history includes several short-lived libraries between 1859 and formation of the Santa Rosa Library Association in 1875. An 1878 offer of this library to the city under the Rogers Act was declined; it was 1884 before the combined efforts of women's organizations and the newspaper editor succeeded in the city taking over the library and providing space in City Hall. In 1890 Santa Rosa hired the county's first professional librarian, Bertha Kumli, who guided the Carnegie project through from the application for $35,000 and acceptance of the offered $20,000 in March, 1902. Community leaders purchased a lot and Sacramento architect E. M. Hoen designed the building in the Romanesque style. The builder was William Peacock of San Francisco. The cornerstone was laid on April 14, 1903 and the building opened on March 10, 1904. Miss Kumli next joined the State Library and achieved a statewide reputation for her work for the county library system and in helping small communities establish public libraries. The Carnegie building was extensively damaged in the 1906 earthquake, and Carnegie provided $6,900 in additional funding for repairs. The building then served as library until 1960 when it was condemned as unsafe. The books were moved to temporary quarters, the old building was demolished in 1964. A new library on the same site was completed in 1967.

The rebuilt library served the citizens, including the children, of Santa Rosa well for many years. Toward the end, Children's Librarian Dagney Jewell and her staff could barely squeeze their young patrons into the children's room.

...but on the inside, deferred maintenance had taken its toll and in 1960, the building was condemned.

The library moved to (very tight) temporary quarters in rented second floor space opposite Courthouse Square on Exchange Street and a successful campaign was launched to build a new--and larger--public library for Santa Rosa (see the video at the top of this post).

Meanwhile the old Carnegie library was reduced to rubble for the last time and the site prepared for the new library that serves Santa Rosa and Sonoma County to this day.

Going to Church--but Where?
Posted on September 18, 2014
|SCL Photo 28181
I suspect the chapel shown in SCL Photos 18273 and 28181 may be the old chapel on the U.S. Coast Guard Training Base near Two Rock, west of Petaluma. Note the cinderblock building to the right of the chapel in the Photo 28181
|SCL Photo 9736
This modest country church building in the Petaluma area, photographed around 1935 is probably long gone. This shot shows the rear of the church.

A more recent unidentifed church, again in the Petaluma area, around 1970
|SCL Photo 14910
A Sonoma County church, most likely pre-1906 -- by far the grandest of all our unidentified churches.
|SCL Photo 6426
An unidentified Sonoma County church from the 1890s or early 1900s.

This rural Petaluma area church was photographed sometime between 1960 and 1980. The building appears to be unused at the time of the photograph.
Unidentified Industrial Building Under Construction, 1975
Posted on August 25, 2014
Continuing with the commercial industrial theme, this week's set shows various stages of construction of a single, large -- and unidentified -- industrial building.The photos date from 1975 and the building may be in north Santa Rosa or Windsor, judging from the glimpses of hills in the background. Note the large pipes entering the building in Photo 2691 and the conveyor/elevator visible in both photos 2691 and 3181.
More Unidentified Commercial Buildings
Posted on August 07, 2014
This week's set comes from a large group of unidentified Sonoma County commercial/industrial buildings -- I don't have information about where they might be located, but I'm fairly confident they are (or were) in Sonoma County, and most likely in Santa Rosa or Petaluma.
1. Apartment or commercial building, circa 1940s. Note early 1940s-vintage International Harvester truck visible in lower left. (SCL Photo 6825)
2. Unidentified building in disrepair, Petaluma, California, July 1991 (SCL Photo 5370). Note on photo indicates it was(?) located east of Don's Restaurant, but i could find no trace of a Don's Restaurant in Petaluma between 1980 and 1995, nor does one exist today. The only Don's Restaurant in Sonoma County during this period was located in Sebastopol.
3. Warehouse under construction or being maintained (SCL Photo 790)
4. Unidentified commercial building, circa 1940s (SCL Photo 1572). Note roller conveyor line visible through the windows.

Uterine polyps are growths attached to the inner wall of the uterus that extend into the uterine cavity. Overgrowth of cells in the lining of the uterus (endometrium) leads to the formation of uterine polyps, also known as endometrial polyps. These polyps are usually noncancerous (benign), although some can be cancerous or can eventually turn into cancer (precancerous polyps).
The sizes of uterine polyps range from a few millimeters — no larger than a sesame seed — to several centimeters — golf ball sized or larger. They attach to the uterine wall by a large base or a thin stalk.
You can have one or many uterine polyps. They usually stay contained within your uterus, but occasionally, they may slip down through the opening of the uterus (cervix) into your vagina. Uterine polyps most commonly occur in women who are going through or have completed menopause (peri- and postmenopausal women), although younger women can get them, too.
Signs of uterine polyps include:
Some women may experience only light bleeding or spotting or may even be symptom-free.
Seek medical care if you have:
Although the exact cause of uterine polyps is unknown, hormonal factors appear to play a role. Uterine polyps are estrogen-sensitive, meaning that they respond to estrogen in the same way that the lining of your uterus does — growing in response to circulating estrogen.
Risk factors for developing uterine polyps include:
Uterine polyps may be associated with infertility. If you have uterine polyps and you experience infertility, removal of the polyps might allow you to become pregnant.
Uterine polyps also may present an increased risk of miscarriage in women who undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF). If you're considering IVF treatment and you have uterine polyps, your doctor may recommend polyp removal before embryo transfer.
Your first appointment will likely be with either your primary care provider or a gynecologist.
Because appointments can be brief, and it can be difficult to remember everything you want to discuss, it's a good idea to prepare ahead of time.
For uterine polyps, some basic questions to ask include:
Don't hesitate to ask follow-up questions during your appointment.
Some potential questions your doctor might ask include:
If your doctor suspects that you have uterine polyps, he or she might perform one of the following tests or procedures:
Most uterine polyps are noncancerous (benign). However, some precancerous changes of the uterus (endometrial hyperplasia) or uterine cancers (endometrial carcinomas) appear as uterine polyps. Your doctor may send a tissue sample for lab analysis to be certain you don't have uterine cancer.
For uterine polyps, your doctor might recommend:
If a uterine polyp contains cancerous cells, your doctor will talk with you about the next steps in evaluation and treatment.
Rarely, uterine polyps can recur. If they do, you might need more treatment.

This track comes from the 1986 album Cologne. I've got this on LP, which might make me the envy of a few collectors; it can go for some pretty high prices. Note the presence of Cindy (another J-Funk performer), who sings vocals in the chorus on this album.
Since there is almost no information available (in English) about Kaoru Akimoto, and I don't wish to scrounge the liner notes for various English words that I can transcribe here, I'm going to briefly share with you one of my other favorite Japanese funk groups. Omega Tribe (also known as 1986 Omega Tribe, Brand New Omega Tribe, and various others over the years) put out some great stuff in the mid-'80s. In their early career, Kiyotaka Sugiyama sang for the group. Carlos Toshiki took over that role a few years later. The group kept making music well into the '90s, and though I can't guarantee that those were their shining years, everything I have heard from them from the '80s is amazing; you'd be wise to check it out.

Gallery: Circular Hakka Houses Create Self-Sustaining Communities
Settled in the mountainous southwest of the Fujian province, these communities are known as Tulou and are essentially fortresses built in either square or round shapes. Structures typically had only one entrance way and no windows at ground level, and a building could withstand a protracted siege by being well-equipped with food and an internal source of water; they also often had their own sophisticated sewage systems.
Built from either stone bricks or more commonly rammed earth, these spectacular structures have walls up to six feet thick and measure three to four stories in height. The largest houses covered over 430,000 sq feet and today it is not unusual to find surviving houses of over 110,000 sq feet, each able to house up to 80 families.
The Tulou are a true testament to the richness that can be found in China, and an example of the efficiency, value and benefit that can be derived from a collective style of habitation. In 2008, UNESCO granted the Tulou "apartments" World Heritage Status, citing the buildings as exceptional examples of a unique and functional building tradition.

Self sustaining? Where's the crop production? Having food storage areas is no more self-sustaining than a modern house with a fridge and presses.

Most of the Tulous currently suffer from poor maintenance and hygiene problems. An entire clan would live in one single Tulou. Contrary to the peaceful idyllic appearance, neighboring tulou may be hostile to each other, i.e they are essentially segregated communities. Modern day hakka youths do not want to live in them and are shifting to the city.
Just to put some things into perspective.

World Premiere Exhibit Extends Its Stay at Orlando Science Center
GUITAR: The Instrument that Rocked the World on Display until January 2
Orlando, FL – September 13, 2011 – The National GUITAR Museum and the Orlando Science Center have reached an agreement to extend the stay of the world premiere exhibit GUITAR: The Instrument That Rocked The World. The 5,000 square foot display explores the history and evolution of the guitar and shows how the instrument became the cultural symbol it is today.
Since its premiere on June 10, 2011, the exhibit has been driving strong attendance and getting raves from guests which encouraged all parties to keep it on display through the end of the year. GUITAR will wrap up its run in Orlando on January 2, 2012 and then head to the Louisville Science Center. The exhibit is part of a national tour of 15 cities in five years before it settles into its yet to be determined permanent location.
"We have been thrilled with the performance of GUITAR," says JoAnn Newman, President and CEO of the Orlando Science Center. "Our attendance this summer was up over 20% as compared to the prior year, plus the exhibit constantly provided opportunities for events and promotions. It offers a unique combination of music and science. "

18 children included among the 26 dead....what a sick mother f'n bastard. I hope he's rotting for all eternity. What the hell could ever possess a person to go in and take the lives of innocent children like that??? Kindergartners!!! Just heartless. And like Gonzo said, the kids who witnessed all of this have to live with this! I can't even begin to fathom the devastation everyone is going through in that part of the country. A sad, sad time indeed. RIP to all the innocent children and adult victims.
a 24 year old kid, wtf is wrong with this society.
there is no excuse for killing anyone in this world for no reason, but to kill little kids who are helpless, and then kill ur ing mother, the same lady who brought u into this ing world is heartless to say the least.
words can not describe what i feel should happen to this kid. i really wish he wasnt dead and that he would have been stabbed to death or had something done to him in prison so painful before his death. this was way to easy of a way for this bastard to die.
why are there smiles in my post? i deff did not make any smiles?
We need to bring back public stonings and hangings for people like this. Burn em alive in front of everyone. Laws way to lenient in this day and age. Most of these scumbags cowardly pull the gun on themselves but for those they catch need to be skinned alive. It may put a damper on some of these crimes.
The thing is, I'm not even talking about banning weapons. I'm talking about making it more difficult to acquire them, particularly certain kinds. If you have any history of mental illness or any felonies (yes, including DUI) you either can't ever be in possession of a gun in the former case or are banned from being in possession of one for a given amount of time (violent felony = never), with being caught resulting in multi-year to life sentences depending on the case.
In Texas it was easier for me to get a gun than Sudafed. That's a problem.
Sad and tragic news indeed!
Just win Phin baby!
Another attack on a school in beijing, being reported by cnn. Sad
http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/14/world/...ack/index.htmlBeijing (CNN) -- Twenty-two primary school children were wounded in a knife attack Friday in central China, authorities said.
The attack took place at the entrance to the Chenpeng Village Primary School in Henan province, according to the public information department of Guangshan county, the area where the school is located. An adult was also wounded, it said.
Several of the children are in critical condition, the state-run website Chinanews.com said, citing local authorities.
Police say they have detained a suspect, a 36-year-old man from the village, state media reported.
Initial assessments suggest the man is mentally ill, Chinanews.com said, citing Guangshan authorities.
China was hit by a spate of knife and cleaver attacks that targeted school children in 2010.
A number of measures were introduced at the time, including increased security at schools across the country and a regulation requiring people to register with their national ID cards when buying large knives.
God...kids? What the hell man. This is seriously one of the most ed up things Ive seen. Ever.

Sebastian Vettel is intent on finishing his Malaysian GP as he begins it, a feat he did not manage to achieve last time out in Australia...
Sebastian Vettel is intent on finishing his Malaysian GP as he begins it, a feat he did not manage to achieve last time out in Australia.
On a slightly drying track with intermediate tyres, Vettel blitzed his rivals to claim his 38th career pole position by 0.913s over Felipe Massa while last year's title rival Fernando Alonso was third, a further tenth off the pace.
It was an impressive showing from the German, who says even he was "surprised" by his advantage over his rivals.
"It was an interesting qualifying as we knew the rain was on the way," he said. "We expected some at the beginning of qualifying so we took a bit of a different approach to other people.
"Q2 was quite on edge and I think the rain probably helped us a little bit otherwise we would have had to go out again.
"It was just enough to go to Q3 where with the circuit drying. It was clear that it was probably better to change tyres [midway through] - we confirmed that pretty early - and I think we did the right thing.
"I'm a bit surprised by the gap. I had a decent lap and we managed to save tyres which could be crucial for tomorrow."
Vettel is now determined to finish the grand prix in the same position as he starts it, P1. The reigning World Champion, though, concedes he's in for a long and hard race.
"If you start in the front, you always want to finish there as well. It will be a long race and it's difficult to know the true pace. We confirmed what we saw in Melbourne.
"I'm happy with the balance of the car. Considering where we were here last year [in terms of performance], it's a big step forward. Managing tyres will be crucial and then we go from there.
"Hopefully we can get to chequered flag in the same position."
