"The love of a child goes beyond time, culture or boundaries".
— Angelica Awayan, funeral attendee - during the 2016 reburial ceremony for a child's remains left behind during the City of San Francisco burial relocation of the 1920's.
Miranda Eve
The child loved around the world
"If no one grieves, no one will remember."
Find A Grave Memorial# 163371918
Our greatest treasure is our family, not only the warm circle around the Christmas tree, but all those whose lives gave us life, and those who will carry our love into the future. ~ Anonymous
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity. ~ William Penn
Those we hold closest to our hearts never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they have shared and the love they brought into our lives. -Author Unknown
Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy. -Anonymous
"A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory."
Leonard Nimoy 1931 - 2015
"Family is not an important thing. It's everything."
Michael J. Fox
"Let us before we die, gather up our heritage, and offer it to our children." Will Durant, "The History of Civilization"
Genealogy, begins as an interest, becomes a hobby, continues as an avocation and in the last stages, is an incurable disease.

The only thing you absolutely have to know is the location of the library.
Albert Einstein
We inherit from our ancestors gifts so often taken for granted. Each of us contains within ... this inheritance of soul. We are links between the ages, containing past and present expectations, sacred memories, and future promises.
Edward Sellner
Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.
Albert Einstein
Any photos, bios and or other information that I have entered is avaialble for free use - no paid only websites. I would perfer that credit is given, but I put those materials and images here to be both saved for the future and to be used.
The web site TimeandDate.com offers date calculations for many of those little genealogical problems and more.
SO much of what is placed on Find A Grave is searchable, but in order to assist others in their research, I also use GenDisasters.com.
Disasters strike us all, and it helps to put family moves into context when they abruptly move, relocate or - frankly - just disappear!
I also note to Find A Grave when I can find an applicable memorial.
Please take a look, it's an interesting site.
In the eastern United States you can often "discover" old cemeteries by the daffodils.
Daffodils are not a feast for deer, they multiply and spread on their own and were often the flower of choice to plant at gravesites.
And I love the sunny, bright daffodil, reminding me the long winter will soon be over and I can get out again to seek and document ancestors - both my own and for others living too distant to be there in person.
If I have "planted" a daffodil on a memorial, it is one which I have directly touched or made an addition.
My Find A Grave 'anniversary' date is 12 June 2007
"Remember me in the family tree, my name, my days, my strife; then I'll ride upon the wings of time and live an endless life."

RE: Raunser Memorials
You are very welcome...I only wish I could have found out more about George Frederick Raunser (1842, Prussia- Sep 1879, Louisville). I don't know who he is related to.... I looked on MyHeritage as well as on ancestry. But my subscription to ancestry has ended, so I can't see all of the records that are there.

ByTeacher of the Year
July 29, 2016
We had a great overnight stay at the Staybridge Suites near the Buffalo International Airport. We were going to a wedding reception nearby and the bridal party had reserved a bank of rooms for the guests. Our stay was very pleasant. The suite was clean and the bed was comfortable. We appreciated the layout separating the vanity/sink area from the room with the toilet and shower. We made use of the shuttle service transporting us to the reception venue as well as picking us up and returning us to the hotel. That was a very nice convenience. Breakfast the following morning was very nice. There was a variety of breakfast items from which to choose as well as pleasant personnel assisting guests. We would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking to stay in the Buffalo Airport area.

Excellent Stay
July 25, 2016
I stayed with my family and everyone including my 2 year old son enjoyed the stay. I do not find any single reason not to choose Staybridge again.
Cleanliness, Breakfast, Room comfort, Staff courteousness and many other factors exceeded expectations.
Nice Place

The Long Term section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 309 AM EDT Tue Jul 26 2016 Off and on storm chances will continue until mid way through the weekend when upper ridging reestablishes over the area. Near normal temperatures should be the rule through most of the period, with Wednesday looking like the warmest day with highs in the upper 80s to around 90. && .NEAR TERM /Today/... Issued at 955 AM EDT Tue Jul 26 2016 Some adjustment to pops required per radar trends, but otherwise forecast in good shape. Previous dicussion follows. Issued at 309 AM EDT Tue Jul 26 2016 Could see some patchy fog near daybreak with dew point depressions of only a degree or two in several spots across the forecast area, but that should burn off or mix out quickly after sunrise. Hi res guidance shows a line of showers and thunderstorms forming along a boundary currently stalled out across southern central Indiana by if not before mid morning and hanging around into the afternoon/evening hours before moving off to the southeast. Think coverage could be somewhat overdone given several runs have been showing more currently than what is seen on radar over Illinois and moisture looks overdone. However enough potential there to bring in high chance pops along the southern border this afternoon and ramp up to it this morning. For temperatures most solutions are in the mid 80s, and think this is reasonable given the potential for cloud cover throughout much of the day and some rain. && .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Monday/... Issued at 309 AM EDT Tue Jul 26 2016 Tonight will see the boundary shift south and the storm chances should go with it. Will leave a slight chance in the south as a wave moves along the front. On Wednesday increased to a chance along the far southern border as the front could start to move back north. For Wednesday night through Thursday night, a stronger upper wave should combine with the front to produce some solid thunderstorm chances Wednesday night and with likely PoPs in the south and southeast Thursday. Chances continue to Thursday night and beyond. For temperatures think mainly mid 80s are a good bet given the potential for thunderstorms and cloud cover through most of the period and cooler 850 mb temperatures. Possible exception to this is on Wednesday when PoPs are confined to the southern counties and thus could see upper 80s especially north where ample sunshine is possible. At this point looks like axis of heavy rainfall will set up south of the area, but will need to monitor with upcoming forecasts repeat development along the boundary if it becomes stationary rather than meandering. && .LONG TERM /Friday night through Tuesday/... Issued at 200 PM EDT Tue Jul 26 2016 Pops will be the main focus for the long term. Long term will start off as a frontal system slides southeast overthe area Friday night before stalling over the Ohio Valley late inthe weekend and early next week. Meanwhile, broad upper trough willprogress slowly from the Mississippi Valley to the Ohio Valley thisweekend and east of the area early next week. With plenty ofmoisture in place and a front nearby, feel regional blend chancepops look good through most of the period. Sunday night may be anexception. Low level thermal progs, ridge moving in early next week andexpected cloud cover suggest temperatures will start off normal orslightly below and then warm to normal and slightly above by earlynext week. && .AVIATION /Discussion for the 261800Z TAF Issuance/... Issued at 1240 PM EDT Tue Jul 26 2016 Would not rule out a few pop up thunderstorms at HUF and BMG this afternoon, however chances too low to mention.

When we drove into this resort right next to Lake Naivasha, we were eager to go for the safari walk . It was touching evening when we reached but the staff obliged us with coffee and tea on the house. The rooms were clean and had a sunken living area and the windows afforded a view of the waterbucks grazing just outside! Walking to our rooms when dusk had settled , we were thrilled at catching sight of a herd of waterbucks that had decided to adopt this resort for camping/ grazing at night!
Our adventure started there and then! We booked our Early morning Walk Safari and our boat ride as well at the reception.
We let the staff know that we were there to celebrate my so in law s birthday!
Dinner time when the food had been cleared away, the lights were dimmed and a candle lit procession of the staff swaying and singing weaved towards our table . They made the occasion so memorable! Even some guests joined in!
I mentioned that we were not beef eaters nor v fond of pork so they went out of their way and our table had an extra chicken dish courtesy the chef every time!
Next day the walk safari ( right next to the resort) had us spot hippos, giraffes, water bucks , zebras , etc etc and a number of birds!
The boat ride was awesome. The boat itself was a good one and we saw a number of hippos and the national bird of kenya steadfastly guarding its eggs! Herons and cormorants were in abundance! The weather was perfect with just a little chill. When we reached back, we saw five six giraffes, a number of zebras and waterbucks canter past and frolic in the dust! Awesome! A must Visit! And only about three hours by road from Nairobi!
This hotel is recommended for its Staff, Its cleanliness, its food, its service and its location.And Yes Do Not forget to tip generously everytime. They expect it but they are worth it!

As much as SIXKILL entertained me, it also made me a little sad. We lost Robert B. Parker last year, and this is his last completed Spenser novel. Last week his publishers announced that his detectives, including Spenser, will continue in stories written by other authors. I hope those books are half as good as Parker's. I've been reading this series all my life, and Spenser, Hawk, and Susan are almost like family. It takes a great artist to create fictional people who can seem so real, and I'm grateful for all the wonderful books he gave us. He will be missed.
Sixkill is described on the flap as "the last Spenser novel completed by Robert B. Parker". A reasonable mind could take that to mean there will be more, perhaps, and that it will completed by someone else. Amazon is already taking pre-orders on a Jesse Stone novel written by the guy that does the Selleck TV-movies. So clearly there are plans. But, well, you know. Not the same.(UPDATED 10/4/11--Ace Atkins has been hired to continue the Spenser Series)
Point being, we should take no finality poignance from the events in Sixkill, as it was clearly not meant to provide any. But poignant is exactly what Sixkill becomes. Its' point is redemption/renewal and it's made in classic Parker style, going back to Early Autumn in more than one way in telling the story of one Zebulon Sixkill.
Z, as he comes to be called, is a Cree Indian bodyguard that Spenser puts a beat-down on while commencing the novel's case: the death of a young girl in Z's client's hotel room. Spenser is brought into the case by Capt. Martin Quirk, whom you've met.
Quirk is pretty sure that one Jumbo Nelson, Hollywood Miscreant/Icon, is being railroaded for murder, so he asks Spens to sniff around and see what stinks. Enter Rita Fiore, who happens to be defending Jumbo, and the stage is set for what Parker did better than just about anyone.
After Z gets canned by Jumbo for getting whupped, he consults Spenser, who agrees to help train him as a mechanism to among other things, get his help solving the case.Read more ›
And it's simply OK. The primary plot is reminiscent of Fatty Arbuckle. There's Jumbo, a ginormous star -- both in profitability and girth -- with a dead girl in his room. How did she die? Who is responsible? Quirk of the Boston PD isn't 100% sure that Jumbo is guilty and persuades our man Spenser to investigate. He uncovers a lot that's spooky and unsavory. He cracks wise and annoys people. He works out at the gym and plays with Pearl and continues the maddening (for me, that is; highly satisfying for him) relationship with Susan Silverman.
Then there's a subplot that gives the book its name and its rather stale feel. It revolves around Zebulon Sixkill, the Cree college football star Spenser takes under his wing. Though a new character, there's something disturbingly familiar about Z. That's because he's Paul Giaccommin crossed with Hawk. Their "banter" is racially saturated and hopelessly dated (at one point, while discussing race with a Hispanic character, Spenser references a JACK BENNY routine!) and feels as forced as the "sho 'nuff" talk with Hawk.
So it was an OK book. It was fine. But not one of Parker's best. At the very end of the book, when our hero talks about life and illusion and metaphor, and heads off toward the sun and Susan, I was reminded anew by how well Parker could write, how fond I am of Spenser, and how much I will miss these characters.

(To rearrange the words of the title, there's a little Llewyn Davis Inside all of us, sort of the way That Barton Fink Feeling was something we could all access.) Llewyn is a bit too serious about his art to ever truly sell out; whether he's good enough to succeed without doing so isn't a question the film dares to answer. With a lucky break here, a not-unlucky-break there, who knows what might have been? Speaking with Jean (Carey Mulligan), a fellow folkie whom he impregnated and who now hates his guts, Llewyn divides the world into 'careerists' and 'losers.' And he refuses to be a careerist, which basically leaves him with one option. So, Inside Llewyn Davis is the story of the guy who didn't make it."

She was just like Yahweh: as powerful as she was petty and given to fits of spite and love and damnation. So I read and re-read Uncanny X-Men 129-138 every Christmas, because nothing else made as much sense. This is what God does: He loves us, then we're Job."

"It really is a 'movie movie.' The images are bigger, and it's a more immersive experience. Some films, I guess, it doesn't really matter. I mean, speaking for myself, projection is so bad at so many places nowadays that I'd rather just watch a movie at home, because if I'm home at least I know it's going to be in-focus. But we're going to be screening the DCP from the DI [digital intermediate], which is the most consistent picture. It's just a more immersive experience, you know? And that's part of the design of the film — everything, down to the sound, is something that works better in a theater."

Grave concerns persist for some 20 million people in the Sahel. Recurrent conflict, erratic weather patterns, epidemics and other shocks continue to weaken the resilience of households across a region still suffering chronic levels of food insecurity and malnutrition.
An estimated 20.4 million people remain food insecure at the start of 2015. At least 2.6 million people have already crossed the crisis threshold, 70 percent of whom are in Niger, Nigeria, Mali and Chad where insecurity and poverty compound food insecurity.
Epidemics continue to demand urgent attention in 2015. Besides cholera, meningitis, Lassa and yellow fever, more recently, Ebola has been posing a serious threat to the Sahel region and has already impacted Mali, Nigeria, and Mali directly.
Beyond the chronic threats of food insecurity, malnutrition and epidemics, violent conflict in and around the Sahel region has led to a surge in population displacement. The region begins 2015 with some 2.8 million people displaced; over a million more than in early 2014. With escalating conflict in northeast Nigeria, an estimated one million people have been internally displaced. Some 150,000 Nigerian refugees have fled to neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon. The volatile security situation in northern Mali continues to have a devastating impact on civilians, hampering the return of refugees, affecting markets and preventing the full restoration of basic services. Some 133,000 Malian refugees remain in Mauritania, Niger and Burkina Faso and more than 80,000 Malians remain internally displaced. As in Nigeria, high levels of insecurity in northern Mali also greatly impact the ability of humanitarians to access those in need. (Sahel: A call for humanitarian aid, 12 Feb 2015)
Due to the ongoing crisis in the Lake Chad Basin, Chad is now the seventh largest refugee-hosting country in the world with over 750,000 displaced persons, the majority of whom are refugees or Chadian returnees who fled from the Central African Republic, Libya, Nigeria, and Sudan. At the end of August, the Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Sahel called on the international community to ramp up its support in response to the multi-faceted humanitarian challenges affecting the country. (OCHA, 27 Aug 2015)
On 9 December 2015, United Nations agencies and partners launched the Sahel humanitarian appeal for 2016. The regional plan calls for US$1.98 billion to provide vital assistance to millions of people affected by crises in nine countries across Africa's Sahel region. (OCHA, 9 Dec 2015)
As of 22 July 2016, the Humanitarian Response Plan for the Sahel was 25% funded. (OCHA, 22 July 2016)

(Maiduguri, Abuja: 21 July 2016): On Thursday 21 July vital food supplies were transported to Banki in north-east Nigeria when a humanitarian convoy reached the town.
The World Food Program (WFP) team in Cameron delivered 30 metric tons of various life-saving food items. The food was received by the WFP team in Nigeria and immediately distributed to the 25,000 civilians living inside the town of Banki. An additional 700 kilograms of supplementary food for malnourished children was airlifted from the state capital Maiduguri to Banki on the same day.
The situation remains stable in the Lac region, despite the resumption of military operations on the border with Nigeria and Niger.
The second report on humanitarian access in the Lac region concludes that overall, humanitarian access has been satisfactory for most partners during the second quarter 2016.
Since 2015, the Emergency Relief Coordinator has released more than US$80 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for life-saving assistance in response to Boko Haram-related violence.
The security situation in south-eastern Niger continues to deteriorate due to a growing number of attacks by Boko Haram. Since the first Boko Haram attack on the Nigerien territory in February 2015 to date, several other incursions have been reported in the region. These attacks have caused the internal displacement of thousands of people. As a consequence, the humanitarian needs in the region have increased, in a context characterized by limited resources for an adequate response and by localized access challenges

Faits saillants régionaux
Des niveaux d'urgence en matière de malnutrition aiguë sévère (MAS) et des conditions proches de la famine ont pu être constatés dans l'État de Borno, et en particulier dans 15 camps satellites où vivent quelque 275 000 personnes, et ce, en raison de l'amélioration récente de l'accès humanitaire.
Recurring natural disasters such as droughts and floods combined with the volatility of markets, pushed many households and communities into chronic vulnerability.
Conflict in northern Nigeria and CAR has displaced refugees to Cameroon, and caused internal displacements. In addition, increasing insecurity in the far North of Cameroon and along the border of CAR hampers humanitarian access.
Poor coverage of sanitation and access to clean water remain the main causes of malnutrition and water-borne diseases.
Situation Overview
The Nigerian Government and humanitarian partners jointly declared a food and nutrition emergency in Borno State. This followed reports of worsening food insecurity, severe malnutrition and deaths in Bama and other sites hosting more than 355,000 IDPs, some recently released from Boko Haram captivity. A US$ 13 million CERF funding was approved for rapid response in the more than 15 locations, prioritising food, nutrition, and protection, while partners are finalising micro plans to reach more than 800,000 newly accessible IDPs with emergency assistance.
(N'Djamena, 16 July 2016): At the end of a visit to the Lake Chad Basin countries of Cameroon, Chad and Niger, Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration of the US Department of State, Ms. Anne Richard, and EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management, Mr. Christos Stylianides, as well as UN Assistant Secretary-General Toby Lanzer, called on the international donor community to increase their financial support for populations affected by violence.


text: 000 FXUS63 KILX 270808 AFDILX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 308 AM CDT WED JUL 27 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) ISSUED AT 307 AM CDT Wed Jul 27 2016 The stationary front will remain just southeast of IL, roughly along the Ohio River Valley. A relatively weak pressure gradient north of the front under a weak surface high will set the stage for patchy fog to develop, especially in low lying areas. Locally dense fog has already begun to form from Salem to Robinson, and those conditions will linger through an hour or so after sunrise. Once the fog clears, skies will be partly cloudy with diurnal cumulus forming in much of the area. A plume of moisture streaming north of the stationary front will keep rain and storm chances going for our counties along and south of I-70 today. Storm chances will expand in coverage to include the remainder of our counties later tonight, with slight chance PoPs N of I-70 and Chance PoPs along and S of I- 70. The potential for severe wind and/or hail remains low. && .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) ISSUED AT 307 AM CDT Wed Jul 27 2016 On Thursday, another wave ripples through the NWrly flow and dives into the Midwest, interacting with what remains of the boundary, spreading showers and thunderstorms through Friday. Once the system moves to the east a bit, showers will become more widely spread, but likely linger through Saturday. High pressure ridge builds into the Midwest and have continued to trend back on the pops from the blended forecasts as well, but Monday starting to show some consistency with small disturbance moving into the region with another round of precip, particularly to the south. Will need to watch that trend. Temps trending slightly cooler through the first half of the weekend with the more northwesterly flow and the precip influence. 850mb temps not moderating quite as much, and holes/breaks in the cloud cover for the next couple days could result in some isolated warmer temps. After the first half of the weekend, the building heat in the western half of the CONUS begins to shift, putting another warming trend in place for Central Illinois into the first of next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night) Issued at 1232 PM CDT Tue Jul 26 2016 Main concern this TAF period is for potential of MVFR conditions in fog later tonight. Guidance numbers are hitting fog pretty hard at all TAF sites, but have tempered that back to just tempo/s for MVFR from 11z-13z. Mixing will start shortly after sunrise, helping to clear out any fog. High pressure will continue to build into Illinois on Wednesday, with lower dewpoints hopefully mixing out some of the residual moisture. FEW to SCT CU will develop tomorrow morning, with less CU in the east than west. Winds will remain light east-southeast tomorrow, with speeds less than 10kts. && .ILX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Shimon LONG TERM...HJS AVIATION...Shimon

Local Area:
The people are incredibly friendly and there are clubs for just about anything that interests you.
Campus Quality:
The quad is not only beautiful but always incredibly active and meeting people here is a breeze.
It is Illinois weather. A little unexpected at times and the winters are cold.
Guys & Girls:
I would say it's pretty average, I grew up in a college town however it wasn't that different and there were a variety of people especially since it's a really large state school
It starts getting cold around October, and winter persists until April. It rains fairly often as well, but overall it's not horrible since we have a great bus system. However the long winters make your bike somewhat useless, with all the snow and ice on the ground and cold wind slapping you in your face. Everyone relies on the buses then, and it gets kind of crowded.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are a lot of options but they are far, and the apartments that are reasonably priced aren't the prettiest. Really average. On the Urbana side, it's far from bars and restaurants, and the ones in Champaign are a bit harder to get to, and further from campus.
It's as huge scene at UIUC. Even though I personally am not big on sports, it's so part of the culture that you are inevitably part of the buzz.
I've never had issues with the police, but people are always on guard. We're wary of the consequences.
Campus Housing:
Dorms are the best place to start your college career. You will meet all your future friends there
Guys & Girls:
Diverse student body, both international and national. Additionally all races are represented on campus. Plenty of people to meet and fall in love with
Local Area:
Urbana Champaign is primarly a college town. With a low cost of leaving, its an ideal place for students. Illinois is home to the world largest communities of Greek system. If frat and soritory life is not for you, Illinois offers over hundreds of student led clubs (Social or professional). With no need for a car, students will be close with each other and be able to socialize on a daily basisi
Local Area:
The atmosphere is very happy and open, due to how diverse the campus is and how many different majors the school incorporates.
Health & Safety:
The Health Center at UIUC is a good center, however its location makes it more unappealing. Many students simply refuse to walk/take the bus to the far location.
There are many really good computers on campus, but there are also some computers I consider average. For using engineering-based programs, the better computers perform very well.
Party Scene:
Nightlife at U of I is active pretty much every day of the week. There are a decent amount of bars on campus all within a couple blocks of one another and if you're 19 or older you can get in. There is one place called the Canopy Club in Urbana where you only have to be 18 to enter. Cover is usually only $5 and there's some kind of event every day of the week at different bars to encourage people to go. Parties are not hard to find if you know where to look. The only downside is the noise level near the bars.
I did end up getting a significant amount of financial aid but it's a tedious process. Be sure to give them EXACTLY what they ask for and check the status of your financial aid frequently. It could take months before everything is set and you see your award letter.
Varsity sports at U of I are pretty big since it is a Big Ten school. However, the football and basketball teams aren't that great. Regardless, students still show spirit by going to the games and cheering.
Winters are rough, but fall and spring seasons are sure to be beautiful. A sunny day on the Quad is the absolute best.
Only about 20% of the students on campus are not white, so consequently, in the racial and ethnic sense, the diversity at UIllinois isn't that great. However, amongst the white student body, there is great diversity in regards to economic status or sexual orientation. It's a very accepting university.
Off-Campus Housing:
Although I have only spent a semester so far at UIUC, I believe that off-campus housing is definitely great for many students. The most important aspect of renting an apartment are that they are cheaper, more enjoyable (you're allowed to throw parties), and are newer than many dorms on campus. Living in the dorm can be expensive, especially when you add food costs. Having an apartment with my brother was a great experience. It was at least half the cost of living in a dorm, we saved money by making our own food, and had a lot more freedom.
You have to make sure of paying for enough time for your parking because if you come back a minute late you will most likely find a ticket.
UIUC has a Career Center that assists you with interviews, resumes, and finding internships. I haven't have a internship yet but you could search for an internship on campus or during they summer and you will find help, you just need to look for it.
The university will still open if it is an -5 degree blizzard. Students and professors just not need to show up in order for the university to close school. You need to have common sense for yourself if you want to want in 2 ft of snow to class and there is a 50% chance that the buses are running on time. Snow days are rare and tornado warnings are common.
I am basically living off of loans. The university gave me two grants but they are not enough to buy books. I have to keep applying to scholarships in order to pay off my accumulating student debt. Start applying to scholarships now and keep ALL of your FAFSA documents because you will need them in the future.
I'm in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences studying Political Science. The courses are very informative and challenging and it's easy to find something that interests you in any field. However, registering for classes can be a hassle in case you can't find all the classes you want, or they are filled. Lectures can be big but TAs always take the initiative to get you know personally and help you in class should you need the assistance. Everyone is always good at answering emails and are open to meeting.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
One might expect some tentative and even negative opinions about any school, but this is truly not the case here at U of I. Students are proud of U of I's history, proud of is academic accomplishments, proud of the social opportunities it offers, and, most of all, they are proud to be alumni. For so many students to view their choice to come here as an unequivocally good one is a fantastic testament to the University's strength.
Of course students here have plenty to complain about—the weather, the parking, the Greek social scene, the rural location. But all things considered, the positive points of the U of I experience tipped the scale—the University's academic excellency, the safety, the social atmosphere, the athletic tradition, the city's excellent transportation system. Some students admitted that they had a hard time adjusting, that they occasionally wished they had made another decision—but in the end, they were all happy to be here. The most encouraging fact was that so many people mentioned that they were leaving as better people, more knowledgeable, eclectic, and better equipped to navigate through life. University of Illinois students do not just leave with a piece of paper in their hands, they leave with a wealth of experience that is not easily rivaled—and, for in-staters, without enormous debt burdens to face when they graduate.

On the show Power Rangers Super Samurai, the Claw Armor Megazord is summoned by all of the Rangers using the mystical power of the Black Box to vanquish the Nighlok threat. The 284-piece Claw Armor Megazord building set lets kids build this powerful Megazord. The Megazord figure is poseable and comes with two swords. Kids can rebuild the Megazord into two different vehicles. The set also includes a Samurai Red Ranger mini figure in Shogun Mode.
The Power Rangers Super Samurai Claw Armor Megazord set has plenty of action. There's a lot of moveable and poseable parts, so it's like getting a real action figure and building set in one. This is a cool collectible for Power Rangers Super Samurai fans.
The Claw Armor Megazord is for ages 7 and up.
It took us 45 minutes to assemble the Claw Armor Megazord. The instructions were pretty easy to follow. No matter how long it takes you to assemble, remember that building is part of the fun and play.
You can only build one model at a time. So if you've built the Claw Armor Megazord and want to do one of the rebuilds, you'll need to disassemble the Megazord first.
Instructions for building the vehicles are not included. Kids must go to megabloks.com/powerrangers to download the building instructions, which diminishes the repeat play value slightly.

The basic story follows Yume, a trainee magician from the countryside of Japan, who is on study-leave in Tokyo to learn more about practical magic and complete her training. Yume (Dream, in Japanese) is a quite, gentle type of country-girl, easily confused and swept up by Tokyo. While the "Witch in Training" theme brings to mind "Kiki's Delivery Service," the tone and animation style is entirely different, being more subtle and with little overt action.
The animation is absolutely beautiful, and maybe the main draw of the series. The scenes of daily life in Tokyo are spot-on, and stunning in their realism.
"Someday's Dreamer" is definitely intended to be a girl's show, and there is a share of male "fan service," as Yume finds herself staring at her handsome roommates's bare chests. Not enough to be distracting, and the girls deserve some eye-candy after all.
The story is enjoyable, and worth watching. The animation is fantastic, and pushes this series way up on the quality bar.
Before you start drawing connections between "Someday's Dreamers" and "Harry Potter"...don't. Although the wizard-in-training bit is present and accounted for, that's about where the similarities end, and Dreamers doesn't feel or play like some kind of quick cash-in Potter rip-off.
The show itself is fairly light for now. The four episodes on this disc each stand well on their own; each episode involves Yume being faced with a problem and having to solve it, usually through the use of her magic (or Special Power, as it is called in the show.)
Technically, the show is impressive. The animation is clean and bright, and the music is perfectly suited to the chiefly gentle nature of the show. (I would recommend checking into the soundtrack CD, available domestically from Geneon-Pioneer.) Both the English and Japanese voice casts turn in solid performances in their various roles.
On that note, there's some difference between how the subtitles and the dub are presented. Pioneer makes some interesting choices with the subtitles, including leaving names Asian style (e.g. Kikuchi Yume instead of Yume Kikuchi) and leaving honorifics (e.g. -san, -chan, sensei) intact.Read more ›
This series' creator has taken a more "realist" approach to things, presenting a solid, stoically paced story with beautifully realistic imagery.
At times, the story leaves the viewers confused, but things are explained in time, and it helps us relate to the dazed, confused Yume.
Just do yourself a favor and watch it in Japanese...the dubbers' decision to give certain characters Southern drawls to emphasize that they are from the "country" was stupid.
The story has fun with the bureaucracy within which Yume and her trainer work. Yes, she starts her first official day of training watching training videos! Although rules do get broken and bent more often than not, the interesting thing is that the bureaucracy is not portrayed as simply evil-hearted or mindless; at times, it is explained why the rules exist and why they make sense. I especially loved the discussion of ethics for mages.
The series is episodic for the most part. However, the last three episodes create a darker story arc as Yume suffers a crisis of confidence as she faces her final test. On a final note, this series is an homage to the city of Tokyo. Yume comes to the city in confusion and trepidation, but as time passes, she falls in love with the city and its people. Tokyo deserves cast credit: "Tokyo as Itself."

A Week of Pretty Flowers
My week in pretty flowers started the evening that my spouse brought me home a bouquet of flowers. They are still going strong!
Next we decided to redo the front landscaping bed, and my husband had to have his favorite flower, Columbine.
While we were shopping for landscaping plants, I saw this little potted group of succulents that reminded me of being back in California, so it hopped on my flatbed.
I'll share photos of the landscaping bed when it's completed. We still have a few more shrubs to plant, and some more pine straw to spread.

From the Mixed- up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg is a Newbery Award Winning book. It is about Claudia and Jamie Kincaid, brother and sister. They run away from home to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Claudia felt unappreciated by her parents and wanted to prove a point to them and her brother comes with her. They decide to live in the museum and carefully outsmart the guards for a week. They have many adventures inside of the museum and many things amaze them. Except, there is one thing they crave to discover, a sculpture by the name of "Angel." A controversy and mystery of who sculpted it, that they plan to solve. The children try to find Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, who had sold the sculpture to the museum to help find out who created the sculpture.
Personal reaction:
I enjoyed this book. The sibling rivalry was entertaining to read, I grew up with my brother and I can relate to the silly fights. There is a lot of suspense; the story keeps you on your toes, wandering if they will get caught. The illustrations had a lot of feel to them with the dramatic facial expressions and dark grayscale colors. The free hand sketchy style shows a lot of emotion, this emphasizes the plot of wanting to be appreciated, mystery, fear and suspense. The author uses great descriptive literary devices for example, "Your eyes are beautiful. They're like looking into a kaleidoscope- the way those golden flecks in them keep catching the light." This is a very well written book for older children to enjoy.
Classroom extensions:
1. Teach the children the importance of family and sticking together. Also teach them the importance of honoring your parents, respecting them and listening to them.
2. Teach children how to count money and how to save money.
3. Have a lesson on teamwork and unity.
4. Teach different form of art and art jargon.
I haven't read this book since I was a kid, but it's one I remember loving when I was younger (who wouldn't want to run away and live in a museum? I slept overnight in a museum once with my girl scout troop and it was so much fun!). I also remember loving the movie based off the book. From internet research, I have discovered that everyone seems to hate the movie version I saw. I also discovered that my favorite part of the (apparently terrible) movie isn't in the book at all! This was all a great shock to me, I'll tell you! My childhood was just flipped upside-down! LOL
As for the book this time around, it was a lot of fun. The children were definitely my focus when I was a kid, but now that I'm an adult, I enjoyed things both from Mrs. Frankweiler's perspective and the children's as well. And the little twist at the end was quite lovely (something I didn't remember). I loved the careful, detailed planning that went into the successful running away attempt. No one could have pulled it off the way Claudia and her brother, Jamie, did. It was fun to watch them figure things out like how to elude the museum guards, how to pay for meals, and where to sleep at night (thank goodness for comfortable, historic old beds!). All over again, I was wrapped up in the mystery of the Angel sculpture--who created her, really?
I was so happy to find this stood up to the test of time (even if my favorite bit apparently doesn't exist in it). I would happily go on the adventure again with them in the future, too.
It's a different experience, reading this as an adult, with a lot more books under my belt. Two things stood out for me this time - 1. why did they never have to dodge the janitor, esp. of the bathroom? and 2. what kind of story would it have been without the mystery of the Angel & could a simpler story about a couple of runaways, one seeking to Become and one seeking a little adventure, have been successful?
In fact, if you know a good story about kids who run away more from issues of the psyche than from abuse, please comment below.
From the Mixed files of Mrs. Basil E Frankweiler is a great book about 2 kids, Claudia and Jamie. They run away from home but they don't travel without a plan. They live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan! Will they get caught, or will they solve one of the biggest mysteries in the museum? I liked this this book because it was fun to see how two kids could possibly survive in such a guarded museum. It was also funny to see how their lifestyle was while they lived at the museum. It actually didn't seem to bad. I would recommend this book to people who like stories about funny children.
This book is about a young girl of the young age of 11, who had a good life, a loving home and loving family but felt like she was not appreciated. She devised a plan to runaway to the Metropolitan Museum of Art but knew that she would only be able to do so with the help of her younger brother. She had some money but he had a lot of money, her brother never spent his money. So after making the trip to the museum and using the limited but resourceful skills that they had by bathing in the fountain, using someones wishes from the wishing well and hiding from employees at night Claudia and her brother Jamie felt right at home in the museum. They explored every inch of the museum and where right at home until they discovered the statue that had recently been brought to the museum. No one knew who the artist was and Claudia and Jamie had to know,they researched and researched and still no luck, so off to the sellers home they when. Mrs. Frankweiler knew they moment that she saw Claudia and Jamie that they were runaways, so they deal was made, they researched her crazy, organized files to find the artists name and she would give them a ride home in her fancy car and upon her passing would leave them the file that their great adventure had taken them on.
I can relate to the book through events in my own life. I have been married and divorced and felt absolutely useless, not appreciated at all. I felt like I had to run away in order to find myself. In the course of my life I have ran away so to speak many times. Every time something would go wrong in my life I would move thinking that I had to find something to fill that void when in reality I just needed to spot, take a breath and look in the mirror and find the one staring back at me.
I can relate this story to my kids by talking about a new item in the class room and how cool it is and how it is the best thing ever but explaining that I don't know anything about it, that I can't use it because I don't know. Explain to the kids that we could go on a super fun scavenger hunt and see if we could find the person who bought it and see if they knew how to use it. Build this person up, talk about the possibilities of the person being a queen or a princess or a super hero and then let the hunt begin. Let the kids talk about the possibilities that the purchaser and the object hold and then once they find the purchaser and realize that it is someone that they see every day, such as a teacher or a coach, talk to them see if they are still excited or if they are disappointed and why? Explain to them that the hunt may have been fun but sometimes the end result isn't that cool, kind of like Claudia and Jamie running away, it was fun for awhile but in the end they still had to go home.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0689711816, Paperback)After reading this book, I guarantee that you will never visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art (or any wonderful, old cavern of a museum) without sneaking into the bathrooms to look for Claudia and her brother Jamie. They're standing on the toilets, still, hiding until the museum closes and their adventure begins. Such is the impact of timeless novels . . . they never leave us. E. L. Konigsburg won the 1967 Newbery Medal for this tale of how Claudia and her brother run away to the museum in order to teach their parents a lesson. Little do they know that mystery awaits!
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:16:48 -0400)
Having run away with her younger brother to live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, twelve-year-old Claudia strives to keep things in order in their new home and to become a changed person and a heroine to herself.

My Battlestar Raven Biography:
I was born an only child on Scorpia long after the first Cylon war ended. My parents were among the major stock holders of the Viper production facility in the city of Amura. My father was an avid pilot and taught me to fly at young age.
I was away from home at a boarding school on Caprica while my parents were on a cruise of the Talimar Islands in the Palentia Ocean on Scorpia. The ship they were sailing on was lost in a fast moving typhoon while the officer on watch was engaged in a drunken party on the bridge. The entire crew and passengers perished in the storm.
I lied about my age and joined the Colonial Air Force at the rank of ensign and fullfilled my childhod dream of becoming a Viper pilot. I was young compared to the other recently recruited pilots. I worked extra hard to prove that age has nothing to do with being an expert piolt. I was one of the first Viper jocks in my squadron to earn the coveted award of "Top Gun." I joined the crew of the Battlestar Raven and served under Captain Leonidas in the Spartan Squadron.
Recently I was given my first command as the Squadron Leader of the new "Flying Tigers" Air Wing!!!!!!!
My Real Life Biography:
I have always been a science fiction fan. When I was young I watched Star Trek, Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and any TV show that had a hint of SyFy in it.
I have been a fan of Battlestar Galactica since the very beginning and I never missed an episode. In fact, I couldn't wait for the following weeks show. I was shocked when the show was cancelled. I always thought its makers made a big mistake taking Battlestar Galactica off the air.
Then Star Wars came on the scene. I was a member of the Star Wars Fan Club. I went to the theater to see every Star Wars film and I wished it would become a TV series, but as you know it never did.
Star Wars came and went and I followed anything new on the science fiction scene. Then life was getting busy with work and other hobbies (Cars, Guns, Reloading Ammo, and Target shooting). Then like most of us I got married and life was good! ! ! ! !

Summer is chugging along, my friends. Here we are sliding into the last week of July and I'm desperately trying to squeeze every last minute of fun into the next few weeks. This is difficult at times because by nature, I am someone who needs to know what the plan is ahead of time. I dislike being on the spot to make a decision or pick up and head out the door without really thinking through exactly what we'll be doing. I'm just not a good-fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of girl. My kids will ask me if they can do a million and one different things in a day and these things tend not to be typical at home things around the house that they can do on their own. They are things like, "can we go to the zoo? Can we go swimming? Can we do a craft that involves something hot or sharp? Can we go camping? Can you teach me how to sew?" Then I am usually left standing there going, "um…well, let me see…um…" while desperately trying to formulate a plan for the day and still work in meals and bedtime etc.

Benjamin would better serve her audience though if she did not feel the need to offer her "unabashedly liberal, postcolonial, multiracial convictions." Symptomatic of this, she incredulously decided to devote the concluding pages of her work to condemning Israel's treatment of Iraqi Jews. Fortunately, Benjamin's views do not impair her ability to give a generally accurate historical account, though at one point she laughably describes the restrictive "dhimmi" legal apparatus formerly instituted on the Jews as "a fair deal by most measures."
Ironically, while Benjamin wrote this book to recapture her Iraqi Jewish heritage, her ideological worldview illustrates how alienated she is from her more conservative compatriots.
Despite these vexations, still highly recommended.
Benjamin integrates the historical events leading up to, and during, her family's departure from their home. The focus is on her grandmother, but we become acquainted with other members of her family. We learn of Benjamin's return to present-day Iraq, its difficulties and its meaningfulness to her.
There are many parallels to experiences I have been told of by others in the same circumstances. An excellent read to highlight a lesser-known part of the Diaspora.
