Amur Leopard Conservation
To promote the survival of Amur leopards in China and Russia both in situ and ex situ
The Amur Leopard or Far Eastern Leopard, Panthera pardus orientalis,
with a total wild population of 30-35 individuals, is one of the most -
if not the most - endangered large cat on earth. There is an ex situ
insurance population of about 180 individuals in zoos. The European
Breeding Programme (EEP) is coordinated by Sarah Christie, London, and
Tanya Arzhanova, Moscow.
Significant progress in conserving Amur tigers and leopards has been made over the last decade. A coalition of 13 international and Russian NGOs have pooled resources to help create ALTA. ALTA members have been co-operating for many years in developing, financing and implementing conservation projects in Russia and China. The main anti-poaching team has been operating in the Amur leopard's range since 1998 and was the first conservation project for Amur leopards financed by NGOs. The team has been very successful and poaching has been much reduced.
ALTA has been working to provide equipment to repair the firebreak system around the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve 'Kedrovaya Pad'. Fires reduce forest habitat, replacing it with grasslands that Amur leopards avoid. ALTA has also implemented a large number of educational projects and has been very successful in increasing conservation awareness among local villagers.
In order to realise plans to conserve and recover leopards in Russia and China, and to successfully establish a second wild leopard population, we need to learn much more about how leopards live in the wild, including how to increase their survival rates, whether in-breeding is a health risk, and how leopards interact with tigers.
There is great potential to increase the leopard population across the border in Northeast China, where efforts are underway to support the Hunchun Tiger Leopard Reserve, improve anti-poaching, increase local capacity to monitor leopards, and implement education programmes.
Zoos can contribute to the survival of the Amur leopard by participating in coordinated ex situ breeding programmes, raising awareness, carrying out or enhancing research, and financially contributing to in situ conservation efforts.
WAZA Conservation Project 08015 undertakes regular fundraising activity and raises awareness for the Amur Leopards through its charitable arm 'Friends of Paradise Wildlife Park' (FoPWP). The Wildlife Heritage Foundation (WHF) has recently completed a purpose built breeding facility. Dr John Lewis is taking the lead on the co-operation and monitoring of the situation in the wild; he regularly travels to the Russian Fareast liaising with our counterparts, to provide veterinary expertise, undertake sampling, radio collaring and to monitor prey species. Dr John Lewis also works very closely with The Wildlife Heritage Foundation monitoring blood, hair semen from their Amur leopards.
Peter Sampson, Director and Owner of Paradise Wildlife Park and Chair of Trustees of The wildlife Heritage Foundation takes a personal interest to ensure that both organisations are at the forefront of the Amur Leopard Project. They are providing support and co-ordinating efforts to maintain an Amur leopard population in captivity which will enable the possible re-introduction back into the wild in the future. Safari Beekse Bergen (The Netherlands) also supports this project.

Babysitting: Where are the Boys?
Should parents hire more boys as babysitters, as a way to stop reinforcing gender roles? Weekend Review contributor, Charlotte Alter, tells WSJ's Jason Bellini that she thinks it's time to teach boys that child care is their job too. Phtoto: Getty Images

I ... three girls in America ... babysitting acts as a first step toward adulthood ... offering lessons in responsibility and even parenting ... but where are the boys are just a ... Charlet ulcer is here with us and she just penned ... an essay in which you argue that while it's only good for the boys or girls but that there's gender inequality ... in babysitting now first off I wanna ask you ... why isn't there so many more girls than boys to our babysitters because ... goals or more grunts in babysitters ... I think it's a problem it's probably that but ... but ultimately I think it's that ... more girls are being ants people call around thinking of girls in a neighborhood that can be nice and I don't think that most people think about ... their male friends and relatives and neighbors as suitable baby sister you're putting it on the parents you don't think is that the boys themselves ... or word that they're going to be teased by their friends if their babysitters that is ... that they think that it's a little too feminine of a job for them to be doing the things that the terrorists themselves who are at fault here ... I'm sure that there are some boys who feel that way by most of the place that I've talked to ... who had a decent experience have loved it and have sort of wish that they've ... been able to do it more and ...

Former Chicago Bear Steve McMichael said today that he intends to run for mayor of southwest suburban Romeoville.
He announced his mayoral plans this morning on 1340 WJOL, a Will County talk radio station, and later confirmed his political intentions when contacted by the Tribune.
"I am dead serious about this," said McMichael, a member of the 1985 Super Bowl champion Bears who has lived in a townhouse in Romeoville since April. "I am not a politician. I am someone who will not delegate over the people. I will listen to them and act on what they want to see in the community."
McMichael, owner of Mongo McMichael's restaurant and sports bar in Romeoville, said he was encouraged to run by his customers.
McMichael said many of his customers are unhappy with various issues in the village including a lack of businesses and empty store fronts, especially on the east side of town.
McMichael said he has a plan to spruce up the town but did not want to share specifics yet. He plans to seek signatures in October to be on the mayoral ballot and expects to run against Mayor John Noak in the April election.
Noak defended the east side of the village, saying there are plans to build a new downtown area and community center.
"Good things are happening in the village," Noak said.
As for McMichael, Noak said everyone has a right to seek elected office. Noak, who has been mayor since 2008, said he will make a statement in the coming months about whether he plans to seek re-election.
McMichael, who has a 4-year-old daughter, said he used to live in a condo in downtown Chicago but moved to Romeoville so his daughter can grow up in a small town environment.

President Barack Obama appointed Eric L. Hirschhorn to be an Under Secretary of Commerce, heading the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), on March 29, 2010. Mr. Hirschhorn was sworn in April 2, 2010.
Mr. Hirschhorn most recently was a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Winston & Strawn LLP.
Mr. Hirschhorn oversees the Commerce agency that advances U.S. national security, foreign policy and economic objectives by ensuring an effective export control and treaty compliance system and by promoting U.S. strategic technology leadership.
From 1980 to 1981, Mr. Hirschhorn was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Administration at the Department of Commerce and oversaw U.S. export controls for items having commercial and military applications, antiboycott compliance, restraints on imports for national security reasons, and the department's participation in the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).
Earlier, while a member of President Jimmy Carter's reorganization project staff (1977-1980), he worked on reorganizing the government's international trade, public diplomacy, and foreign assistance mechanisms. Before working in the executive branch, Mr. Hirschhorn held several congressional staff positions, was in private law practice in New York City, and was a legal services lawyer.
After returning to private law practice in 1981, Mr. Hirschhorn represented foreign and domestic clients on a wide range of commercial and regulatory matters. His practice included advising and assisting clients regarding export and embargo regulations, as well as about financing and other aspects of international transactions.
Mr. Hirschhorn is the former Executive Secretary of the Industry Coalition on Technology Transfer (ICOTT), a group whose trade association and industry participants are affected by U.S. export control and embargo rules. He is the author of The Export Control and Embargo Handbook, whose third edition was published in 2010 by Oxford University Press, and numerous articles on export controls, embargoes, and related topics. Outside the international trade area, Mr. Hirschhorn's practice included trial and appellate litigation, along with lawyers' professional responsibility matters.
He also is a member of the New York City Bar Association and the Thurgood Marshall American Inn of Court. Mr. Hirschhorn received his B.A. degree from the University of Chicago, where he majored in Political Science, and a J.D. degree from Columbia University, where he was a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar. He has chaired two committees of the District of Columbia Bar-the Legal Ethics Committee and the Rules of Professional Responsibility Review Committee.

Weekly golf tip
Weekly golf tip
As the season progresses, I see many golfers at the practice range who are curving the ball too much in the air. The culprit most of the time is poor alignment. If you are hooking the ball, you may be aiming right of your target and flipping your hands over to compensate for this basic mistake. If your miss is to the right, chances are that you are aiming too far left of your target which promotes a swing path that creates that awful slice. The good news, your alignment can be easily corrected.
Try this tip at the range: Set up to hit your shot, close your left eye and tilt your head. Can you see your target without lifting or raising your head? If so, you are aimed correctly. If not, you need to work on your alignment. Place a club or stick down at the range and then place your feet, hips and shoulders parallel to your target line.
Alignment is critical to golfers at all levels of the game, including the best in the world. Watch Rory McIlroy's pre-shot routine. He tilts his head and looks at his target just before starting his swing. That quick glance to the target is his final check of his alignment.

A Little Glittering
Added Sep 16, 2013
Mykolayv, Ukraine
A bias skirt, pretty long, slightly widened to the bottom, very simple: flattering for any figure and any sewing skills. And I hope it will be good to wear regularly if I found enough things to match:-))
I refused from the facing for the hem because my fabric is dense enough just to make double rolling. But the top edge is processed with facing exactly because of the same reason – my fabric is dense enough to use elastic.
Now, after taking pictures, I think that I had to narrow it to the top because I got it quite loose at the waist and it will probably live on its own life rotating around me:)
The blouse is not new – from Burda 2/2005, #127.
Material Notes
Stretch cotton sateen, the right side is very shining as if it's silk.
Crepe-georgette for the blouse.

The skirt is classic and chic, it goes well with the top, they have the same colour elements. And I love your top, so delicate, the fabric is great!

Thank you! The fabric is really delicate and as it is transparent, I omitted the interfacing for the front edges, at the same time the buttons are pretty heavy so the front edges of the blouse are soft and it always tempts me to pin them to the bra: your blouse keeps the shape:-)

This track entitled "Enslavement of Man" quickly became a fan favorite and paints a picture of a world left in ruins as this new power arises to imprison the human race. Director Will DaRosa helps bring this story to life with his vision of a post-apocalyptic Earth in which humans now live in a contaminated world struggling for survival, starring Playboy Centerfold Veronica LaVery.

The Reverend Horton Heat
January 24th, 2014
The Reverend Horton Heat
Years Active:
'80s, '90s, '00s, '10s
The Reverend Horton Heat
The Reverend Horton Heat is perhaps the most popular psychobilly artist of all time, really rivaled only by genre founders the Cramps. The Reverend (as both the three-man band and its guitar-playing frontman were known) built a strong cult following during the '90s through constant touring, manic showmanship, and a twisted sense of humor. The latter was nothing new in the world of psychobilly, and Heat's music certainly kept the trashy aesthetic of his spiritual forebears. The Reverend's true innovation was updating the psychobilly sound for the alternative rock era. In his hands, it was something more than retro-obsessed kitsch — it had roaring distorted guitars, it rocked as hard as any punk band, and it didn't look exclusively to pop culture of the past for its style or subject matter. Most of the Reverend's lyrics were gonzo celebrations of sex, drugs, booze, and cars, and true to his name, his concerts often featured mock sermons in the style of a rural revivalist preacher. First performing as the Reverend Horton Heat in 1985, his backing band solidified around 1989 with bassist Jimbo Wallace and drummer Patrick "Taz" Bentley. Their initial recordings were released by that bastion of indie credibility, Sub Pop, at the height of the grunge craze; both 1991's Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em and 1993's The Full Custom Gospel Sounds of the Reverend Horton Heat helped build an enthusiastic underground audience. That resulted in a spell on major label Interscope, starting with 1994's Liquor in the Front (Bentley was subsequently replaced by Scott Churilla). After two more for Interscope, 1996's It's Martini Time and 1998's Space Heater, Heat returned to recording for independents, still a highly profitable draw on the concert circuit.

Bronze medal-winning bobsledder Steven Holcomb hit back after newly-minted "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon made him the butt of an Olympic joke.
During a segment on the Sochi Games on his inaugural "Tonight Show" broadcast Monday night, Fallon handed out high school yearbook-style "superlatives" to athletes. He chose Holcomb, a 5-foot-10, 225-pound former Utah National Guardsman of seven years, as "the most likely to be found with a chicken wing in his pocket."
Other American Olympians who drew Fallon's attention: snowboarders Chas Guldemond (most likely to host an interior design show on HGTV) and Danny Davis (most likely to turn water into weed). Ice dancer Charlie White was deemed "most likely to say, 'Fear not! For I bring tidings of great joy.'"
Holcomb, given the chance to respond, told NBC's Dan Patrick, "I actually did offer Jimmy a ride [in the bobsled] at the beginning of the season and he declined. He said he was scared."
He didn't go much further though, simply adding that "It is what it is, he tried to take a jab at me and that's fine," he said. "It happens. We'll work something out."
Later he took to Twitter with a more playful attitude.
I'm a little offended @jimmyfallon. Seriously, how dare you assume I'm a teriyaki wing guy? I only eat Buffalo style.
— Steven Holcomb (@StevenHolcomb) February 18, 2014
Holcomb's bronze medal win with bobsled partner Steven Langton was a huge personal victory as well as a history-making run. The pair became the first Americans to win the event since 1952. Holcomb, meanwhile, had overcome severe vision problems and a long battle with depression to make it to the medal podium.
After finishing his final run Holcomb hugged his coach and said, according to The Associated Press, "Thank God, man. There was a lot of pressure on me out there."

Although the men's cross country team did not send enough runners to be scored at the Quinnipiac Invitational, several Bulldog athletes put up strong performances at the event.
Nathan Clute was the Elis' top finisher, coming in at 18th with a time of 27:36.9. Teammates Stephen Carden and Miles Farmer came in 23rd and 25th with times of 27:59.3 and 28.08.4, and Reed Mauser rounded out the Eli group with a time of 28:26.7, good for a 27 overall finish.
There were 84 total runners in the men's competition. With four entrants, the Elis were one short of having enough people to be scored, but the meet was good practice early in the season.
University of Connecticut edged out Quinnipiac for first place overall, 26 to 32 points.

Languages, Literatures, & Cultures
A Message from Lauren Jensen '10
|Lauren Jensen
Class of '10
1. Are you currently employed in the work force or continuing your education? If so, where?
I am currently a graduate student of speech language pathology at MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, MA.
2. Do you enjoy what you're doing?
Absolutely! I feel so lucky to have found a field that is a perfect blend of all of my passions: language, science, art, and working with children. I can honestly say that I enjoy all the demands and challenges that graduate school and working in a clinic throws my way.
3. What are your plans for the future?
Once I graduate with my MS next August, I will have to complete a 10-month clinical fellowship before I can be fully certified as a CCC-SLP through the American Language and Hearing Association. As of right now, I am most interested in the developmental aspects of speech language pathology. I ideally want to work in a private clinic focusing on language delays and disorders in young children. Given my background in French, I am particularly interested in bilingual language development, so the opportunity to work with a bilingual French population would be amazing!
4. Have you ever been able to use your knowledge of French language/culture?
Not as much as I would like, but I am constantly surprised at the amount of francophones in the Boston area- I hear French in passing several times each week. I was also lucky enough start babysitting for a 2 year old girl who speaks French, English, and Swedish. She speaks only French with her mother and attends a bilingual French/ English preschool, so listening to her speak French and analyzing her language development is a great experience.
5. Do you find that the understanding of cultural differences that you've developed as a French major/minor plays a role in your life?
Yes, and I find this perspective is even more essential living in a metropolitan area such as Boston and as a future Speech Language Pathologist. With an ever-growing amount of multilingual and multicultural populations in the United States, so much of what I will need to do as an SLP is to distinguish between and language disorder and language difference so that a client can be diagnosed and treated in a culturally sensitive way. This includes being aware of the cultural and pragmatic norms of different groups, so that for instance the expectation for an Arab child to avoid eye contact with an adult is not misconstrued as a symptom of autism. Knowledge of Francophone cultures developed through my French education serves as a basis of this understanding. In addition, my French courses required the analysis of standard French and various dialects. This served as my first introduction to descriptive versus prescriptive language use: language as it is actually spoken versus language rules enforced by society. This is also important to me as an SLP because I need to be aware of and validate the linguistic equality of a client's native dialect while still teaching Standard American English.
6. Is there anything you'd like to share about your personal life?
While I have tried to keep up with my French by reading books, I haven't had many true opportunities to speak the language since graduating in 2010. Several weeks ago, I met a native French speaker and I was pleasantly surprised that I was still able to have an extended conversation with him. The vocabulary I learned in French courses to describe the nuances of language was quite useful when he asked all kinds of questions about my field! In the future, I hope to have more opportunities to practice my French in more conversational contexts. Several people in my graduate program were actually French majors or minors in undergrad as well, so we hope to start a discussion group to keep up our skills.

Royce White fighting for NBA spot, mental health
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Royce White leaned back in a chair in the Sacramento Kings locker room, looked at the veteran players around him and joked about why he'd be the one getting an interview request.
"I'm just a guy on a 10-day contract," he said, chuckling.
The 16th overall pick of the 2012 draft best known for his contentious and public disagreement with the Houston Rockets over how to treat his anxiety disorder, which includes a fear of flying, is trying to make a new name for himself with the Sacramento Kings late this season.
Not only must he prove he can still play, White has to show he can handle the rigors of the league's schedule, including his first road trip this week. He's on his second 10-day deal with the Kings this month, and he knows nothing beyond that is guaranteed.
"Those thoughts do come where it's like, 'If this doesn't work out, will I even go at it again?'" White said.
The Rockets knew what they were getting when they selected White out of Iowa State two years ago. The 6-foot-8, 260-pound forward freely acknowledged his condition in pre-draft interviews, most notably a plane phobia that triggers panic attacks — which can speed up his heart rate, send a tingling feeling to his extremities and lead to a cold sweat.
White sat out the first week of training camp after asking for special protocols, including permission to travel by bus on road trips. He also wanted an independent physician to have the final say about when he could play.
The dispute between Houston and White, who often took to Twitter to express his displeasure, could never be resolved. He was traded to Philadelphia in July, and the 76ers waived him before the start of the season.
The 22-year-old forward's stay in Sacramento, about as far removed from the national NBA landscape as one can get, has been far quieter than his previous stops.
Sacramento first signed White to a 10-day contract March 6, and he immediately reported to the Reno Bighorns of the NBA Development League. He started four games for Reno, averaging 8.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 24.8 minutes before getting called up to the Kings last week.
White has played in the final minute of the past two games — his first action ever in the NBA — after the outcomes had been decided.
"It feels a lot different," White said. "In all fairness to Houston, they were in a much different position. A lot of things, they couldn't make a ruling on themselves as much as the league. They had to wait on a lot of OKs and things from people. It was a real complex situation. But it feels very different. Everything's different. The organization's different. The city's different. The people are different. My teammates are different."
Is he different?
"I'm probably the least different out of the entire equation," White said. "But I'm in a different place. I'm definitely feeling more comfortable with the ability to have a successful career in this league."
Whether White can carve out a career remains unclear.
Kings general manager Pete D'Alessandro said he doesn't want to make too much out of White's addition, that he's just a player on his second 10-day contract and the team is giving him a chance. Kings coach Michael Malone echoed those sentiments, saying White's signing "is about him as a basketball player."
White stressed that he's thankful for the opportunity to play for an NBA team again but, just as importantly, to play for an NBA team that is willing to discuss and address his mental-health concerns. He also said he will be at every Kings game if he's signed for the rest of the season, though travel details still need to be worked out.
After hosting New York on Wednesday night, the Kings head out on a three-game road trip: at Oklahoma City on Friday, at Dallas on Saturday and at New Orleans on Monday.
White said the Kings will decide whether he makes the trip, and he has no problems traveling across the country. He declined to discuss what steps he'd take before boarding an airplane, but he noted that he took a flight from his hometown in Minneapolis to Sacramento after the Kings signed him.
How long his latest stint in the NBA lasts will not define him, White said, and it will not change his stance as an outspoken advocate for the mentally ill and their legal rights in the workplace.
"My advocacy for mental health will be there regardless of whether I'm playing or not," White said. "If it takes this platform to boost or activate what we need to do mental-health wise, then that's not good enough, then somebody else isn't doing their job. Those questions will be there, and I'm still willing to answer those questions. But right now it's just about the Kings and playing."

The Electoral Commission is in the midst of its second round of consultation on how to reform MMP. In recent days, it seems to be getting an oddly uniform message.
As you all should know, the Electoral Commission has put out its preliminary proposals for reform following on from its review of MMP. Those proposals are on the whole pretty modest - the main change it suggests is to abandon the "electorate lifeboat" exception to the representation threshold, whilst also reducing the party vote threshold that a party must cross to gain representation from 5% to 4%.
(For the sake of full transparency, my view on these matters, as indicated in my original submission to the Commission, is that the electorate lifeboat rule should be dropped but that an even lower party vote threshold would be desirable.)
Having made its preliminary proposals public, the Commission is now engaged in a second wave of public consultation on them before passing on its final recommendations to the Minister of Justice. One of the interesting things about that consultation process is that you can read in near-real time what other people are saying to the Commission about its proposals.
So out of idle curiosity, I started flicking through the submissions. And here's something that has jumped out at me.
For the first few days after the Commission's report came out, there's a pretty wide mix of views coming through. There's a fair bit of support for what the Commission is saying. But there's also some people who think it has got it wrong on one or more of the issues addressed, and tell it so. And there are a few folks who take off on odd tangents all of their own ... but such is the beauty of asking the public what they think about anything.
However, over the last few days, the submissions have begun to take on a much more consistent message. They almost uniformly call for a retention of the "electorate lifeboat" rule and keeping the party vote threshold at 5%. And what is more, many of them do so in language that looks oddly familiar.
So, for example, the Commission repeatedly is told not to abolish the "electorate lifeboat" rule as this would not be "practical" (without any indication as what this actually means). And the 5% party vote threshold is said to be necessary to avoid "bring[ing in] more minor parties into Parliament over time, making it even more difficult to form a stable Government" - without, of course, noting that this is exactly what the "electorate lifeboat" rule also does.
To see what I mean, compare the (randomly chosen) submission that Megan Green made to the Commission on Wednesday evening with that made by Jim Johnson the following day. And as you click through other recent submissions, you'll see a bunch more that replicate these views in almost identical language.
Now, I have no conclusive evidence to prove that these similarities aren't just a spontaneous outbreak of like-minded individuals who all believe the same thing for the same reasons and have chosen to express those beliefs in much the same way. But the alternative explanation is that there is an at least semi-organised attempt underway to impress a consistent message upon the Commission as it considers what its final recommendations to the Government should be.
But, so what, you might ask? Isn't everyone entitled to put their views to the Commission on their electoral system? And can't they use whatever langauge they like to do so? After all, form submissions to things like select committees and the like are hardly unknown - they are something of a staple tool of attempted influence use by (for instance) unions or organisations like Forest and Bird.
All of which is true. But here's the issue with a public consultation process on the future shape of the electoral system in which such carbon-copy viewpoints dominate.
First, if they make up a majority of the feedback that the Commission receives, these submissions might actually have the effect of causing it to rethink its initial proposals. I don't actually think this is very likely, given the strength of the Commission's rejection of the "electorate lifeboat" rule in its initial report - but it still could happen.
More importantly, however, after this final consultation period is over, the Electoral Commission will report its recommendations to the Minister of Justice. From there, for them to be passed into law (assuming the recommendations still are that there be change to the representation thresholds), the Minister will have to incorporate them into a Bill and present this to the House for enactment. And it will be much, much harder to do so if a majority of responses to the Commission's recommendations disagree with it.
Because some particular parties already have made their opposition to the Commission's initial proposals quite clear, whilst also calling into question the alleged partisan motives that underlie the recommendations. Those allegations will only intensify should the Commission appear to be ignoring what it is told about its recommended changes. Which could then give a Minister who may herself have reason to be leery of those recommendations an out from having to act on them.
So, the point of this post is not to say that those making form submissions ought to be silenced. As I say, it's their electoral system too, and they have every right to talk about what should happen with it in any way they choose.
Rather, it is to point out to anyone else who cares what happens to MMP for the foreseeable future that you have until 5:00 pm on Friday, September 7 to let the Commission know what your views are on its proposals. Because there are other people speaking up on this, and so if you don't then theirs will be the voices that may ultimately matter.
You can make an online submission to the Commission here. It takes all of a minute to do so. Go on ... it's not like you really are working anyhow.

Winter in Hiroshima: A season of all seasons
I've been wanting for a long time to snap some snowy pictures around my neighborhood. But it doesn't snow that much in Hiroshima, and when it does it doesn't often accumulate. This afternoon, though, I peeked out the window to see I'd finally gotten my wish, on the last day of the year.

The Kershaw County School District finalized a contract Thursday with PrimeRealty Group to purchase property that housed the former Howden-Buffalo operations on U.S. 1 in Camden.
Gift wrapping -- is it a man's or woman's job?
Regulatory relief, health care, government restructuring, tax reform, and economic and workforce development are all on the S.C. Chamber of Commerce's 2011 competitiveness agenda. State Chamber Vice President of Public Policy Darrell Scott presented the agenda to the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce at its meeting Thursday morning.
The Kershaw County Board of School Trustees voted two weeks ago to spend up to $1.25 million to purchase an undisclosed piece of property in order to relocate its district office.
With the holiday shopping season in full swing, Tyrrell Coleman, the Camden Police Department's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) officer, said there's one thing people need to remember as they log onto the Internet or head out to stores during the next few weeks:
Sometimes, it just pays to be dumb.
An external independent CPA firm has given the Kershaw County School District an "unqualified opinion" during its annual financial audit.
A great honor.
Kershaw County School District Superintendent Dr. Frank Morgan's contract has been extended for an additional year, and is now scheduled to run through June 30, 2014.
North Central High School (NCHS) students are setting out to create a more sustainable environment -- and it looks like the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) has taken notice.
First, let me start off by saying that there is no chance that I will ever wake up at the crack of dawn to watch Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding next April.
The Kershaw County School District (KCSD) will spend up to $1.25 million to purchase an undisclosed piece of property in order to relocate its district office.
He was the voice of the University of South Carolina's marching band, inviting millions of people to listen to the "musical magic of the Carolina Band" for more than three decades.
With Thanksgiving Day only hours behind us -- which I'm guessing is the equivalent of a decade in "shopping years" -- the Christmas holiday season is officially underway.
Dozens of Lugoff Elementary School (LES) first-graders arrived at school dressed as Pilgrims and Native Americans Tuesday morning, all in honor of the school's annual POW WOW Day.

cole, thats gonna look great.
once its back together and you have spent some time with it I want your riding impressions. I keep thinking of trading the R11S for one.
I'd be willing to let you ride it for a couple of days if you really want. It is a 1998 T509 885cc Speed Triple. So a bit less power than the new 1050cc Speedy.
Wow, if it looks that good on the camera phone...
I know nothing about motorcycles, but I think option 1 looks a lot better than option 2. Option 2 puts a little too much gold into the mix.
How many wheels do motorcycles have? See you know something. ;D

Suzan was smart and worked with a low maintenance, James Hardie fiber cement panel and shingle siding and then added that perfect light fixture from Westside Wholesale. {it reminds me of something you'd see on an old free standing garage from the 40s}The living room is diminutive and before, you'd walk in the door and *boom* you'd run into a bed. Suzan reconfigured, raised the hearth for extra seating and sewed together old adirondak blankets to recover the existing furniture. Details such as the mantel, made from half a pine log {which used to be a part of the fascia on the roof} complete with bark still attached, and the vintage bear game board image, are some of the great attention to detail that make this such a treasure.
and did I mention, she's selling the house, as is. WITH furnishings and board games {a very important part of detachment from the real world} At her shop, in L.A. she sells these incredible Swarovski encrusted antler chandeliers. Not the best place to showcase those beauties, she placed this vintage, ode to the antler, on a Victorian sewing table which serves as a console.
Imagine waking up in this cozy bedroom to the smell of smoky bacon sizzling away while the coffee is percolating. I'm in love with this idea of the old coolers stacked as a night stand.
"The light is one of a set of factory overheads I found at an antiques fair in Nashville. It's lined with mercury glass to make it more reflective. The mug tree is made from an old iron bottle drying rack. The kitchen is very small, so one space-saving solution was to get rid of cabinet doors and cover the shelves under the counters with linens hanging on cafe rods with curtain clips."

The Best Computer Upgrade Ever
By Paul Boutin
Whether you're a PC or Mac user, the humongous 24-inch iMac that Apple unwrapped on Wednesday drives home a point: Speed is good, but spread is better. For the past year, I've been working at two offices. Office A has a fairly new 17-inch Mac I bought so I could crank out more freelance work without having to turn off iTunes. But lately, I find myself making the longer trek to Office B to use an older, slower machine. Why? Because a generous Office B colleague updated the slowpoke with a 23-inch monitor.
Speed freaks are stoked that Intel has finally replaced its aging Pentium processors with a speedier design called Core 2. Apple went for broke and stuffed the new iMac with a dual-core Intel processor and a 24-inch monitor. But it'll cost me $2,000-plus to buy my dream machine. PC users get a choice: Dell will sell you a Core 2-powered PC for $1,200 or a 24-inch flat-panel monitor for around $700. If you're feeling stymied by your computer, buy the monitor now and wait until Windows Vista comes out to upgrade the rest of your PC. You'll get more Core 2 for your money by then, and you'll already have a panoramic screen to let Vista live up to its name.
Don't be fooled by all those Intel commercials: A faster CPU isn't always the best upgrade. Dell hawks its Core 2 Duo PCs as the "ultimate multimedia and gaming experience." What bigger multimedia buzz is there than a giant screen? I'm not a gamer, but I spend a lot of time with Word, Excel, Firefox, and iTunes. I watch a lot of YouTube by day and often slide a DVD into my desktop machine at night. I'm fascinated by Google Maps and Google Earth. For these applications, a faster processor doesn't really help. But you know what's better than a million pixels of Google Earth? Two million pixels of Google Earth.
Prima donna software developers who get anything they want have traditionally awarded themselves second, third, and even fourth monitors. You could cite the industry studies that find increased productivity among multiple monitor users, or you could just accept the formula of computer graphics veteran Jon Peddie: "Can't have too many pixels." Besides, flat-panel displays have gotten so big and so cheap that you no longer need to cable together four screens. Just buy one big one. Thirty-inch mega-monitors first appeared two years ago for $3,300. Today, you can get one for $1,800 that puts more than 4 million pixels on one panel, equivalent to three or four 17-inch monitors or two HDTV screens. A 20-inch model with close to 2 million pixels is only $350.
Apple's Web site flogs a third-party study by Pfeiffer Consulting that concludes 30-inch monitors aren't a luxury. "When working on a computer, we lose much more time than we realize through user-interface manipulations," Pfeiffer's researchers wrote—even if we're handling only e-mail and Web pages and not Photoshop. I dismissed the report as marketing collateral, but after a few weeks at my own widescreen I've reached the same conclusion—it's surprising how much more work I crank out lately. Co-workers praise my newfound motivation. The truth is, I can finally see what I'm doing.
While a faster processor lets you do what you've been doing more quickly, extra display space lets you do things that were previously unthinkable. I can put two versions of an article side by side, editing one while eyeballing the other. I used to squeeze two shrunken windows onto a smaller screen or flip between edit and review windows. That doesn't compare to editing and reading both at actual size at the same time.
A screenshot of the layout on my wide-screen monitor
I bought a faster computer for Office A so I could juggle multiple windows and apps more quickly. On Office B's 1600 x 1200 pixel screen, I don't need to juggle at all. I've even got extra turf to keep background tasks onscreen. If I get an instant message while on deadline, I can scan it in my peripheral vision without moving my hands on the keyboard. If I need to reply, I don't have to shove my work aside. I can keep an eye on inbound e-mail while writing and click to zap an annoying song from iTunes without fumbling for the application. I've even squeezed an analog clock and a weather widget into a spare corner so I needn't remember to check them.
With everything in plain sight and within reach, my computer's desktop finally looks like a real desktop. That wouldn't be possible if it weren't almost the same size as one. Rewriting this article at home on my 17-inch screen, I feel cramped and frustrated. What PC makers call a desktop has been closer in size to the back of a book. Isn't it about time you threw away the book and sprawled out a little bit?

Electricity is used every day but many people do not think about potential dangers of electricity.
Students at the Polo High School learned March 21 about some of the dangers during a Live Line Demo presented by Kyle Finley, Alvin.
"Fourteen years ago I quit my job as a lineman and began these safety demonstrations," Finley said. "We need to educate everyone about electric safety."
Finley asked the high school students if they knew the voltage in a standard electrical outlet in their home.
Only 15 students raised their hand to answer and the first one did not get the answer correct.
"The number one killer from electricity is your 120 volt wall outlet," said Finley. "There have been numerous safety upgrades to outlets, but your home may not have them."
Ground fault interrupter outlets will trip if the device plugged in gets wet. These outlets are required in bathrooms and near kitchen sinks.
Another type of outlet has built-in covers to make it harder for a child to accidentally put a finger, key, or toy in the socket.
Finley said the cost of these outlets are minimal considering they could save the life of someone the students know.
There are also extension drop cords with built in ground fault interrupters that available.
He also warned students about the dangers of electrical substations and warning signs.
"Don't ever go into a substation. They are dangerous. Just raising your arm inside one could cause an electrocution," said Finley. "The police and fire departments know to call the power company if they need to get inside. If you lose a football or a frisbee inside a substation, call the power company and they will retrieve it for you."
There are warning signs posted on not only substations but other electric equipment including breaker boxes.
"If you see a warning sign or tag, never go near the equipment," said Finley. "Another safety thing is to never stand in front of a breaker before turning it on."
This is done to prevent facial injuries if something were to fail in the box and cause a fire, he said.
Electricity is also a concern for drivers.
"Never drive over a downed power line," said Finley. "If you get in an accident and strike a utility pole, stay in your vehicle."
Finley encouraged students to inform the police when calling in an accident to let them know if a utility pole was hit so the power company can be called.
"The police officers and fire department are trained for electricity safety," said Finley.
Another concern with electricity involves farm equipment and dump trucks.
"You could be driving your tractor and clear the power line, but then you open your wing and hit a line," said Finley. "Crane operators and dump trucks can also hit a power line."
The electric demonstration was sponsored by Holland and Sons, Birkeys, Polo Coop, Burkardt's LP, and Rock River Energy.

How to Make "Punched Tin" Paper Angels
Submitted by Pam on Tue, 12/11/2012 - 01:47
Very simple "punched tin" paper angel ornament to make with the kids!
Since I celebrate both Guadalupe Day (December 12th) and St. Lucy Day (December 13th), I became very excited when I came up with this little ornament idea - a perfect ornament that blends two cultures whose special celebrations fall so close together.
I go to bed on December 12th with my tummy full of Sopillas and Green Chile and wake up on December 13th to Saffron Buns and gingerbread! These sweet little "punched tin" paper Scandinavian angels fit in perfectly don't you think?
You are all very busy! I will keep this tutorial short and sweet!
1. Metallic card weight paper is easy to find this time of year in the scrapbooking section of any craft store.
2. The pattern can be found here on my favorite holiday site - "Yule in Iceland".
Click on "Yule Fun" or follow this link for the pattern.
OR I have just found an angel pattern that will work quite nicely right here on The Craft Train! Thank you Kate!
3. Follow the instructions that come with the angel pattern. Cut your angels from the metallic paper.
4. On the shiny side, using a pencil, lightly draw a design on the skirt. (I found the pencil lines erase quite easily.)
5. Punch little holes in the paper following the design lines. I used a push pin.
It works best to completely punch through the paper and try to make the holes about the same size and the same distance apart.
I place a couple layers of cardboard under mine.
6. Turn your angel over and draw a design on the wings.
7. For the wings, punch from the back side of the paper following your design lines.
Design punching completed! Notice the difference in the appearance of the holes in the skirt and those in the wings. When you assemble the angel, you will see the importance of punching holes from the back and the front.
8. Fold your angel as directed on the pattern. I like to add a staple to the back as shown.
9. Thread a hanging string through the top of the head if you wish to hang as an ornament.
If you are not into punching holes into your little angels, gold metallic paper and golden stickers make a lovely alternative! See my little gold angel hanging near the bottom of my Iceland Advent Calendar Tree?
Of course any paper will work. I just happen to like the look of the metallic sheen.
Now! Go play!!! Make Christmas angel magic! And while you are at it find more holiday magic waiting behind the doors of the Advent Calendar on "Yule in Iceland".

Strawberries from Mexico upset local growers when they appeared in the Plant City Walmart.
PLANT CITY | The Florida Strawberry Growers Association is seeing red.
The Walmart in Plant City offered imported Mexican strawberries until a recent backlash by members of the Strawberry Growers Association, which is fighting for survival for the second consecutive season against their Mexican competitors.
"Everybody on the (Growers Association) board was appalled and disgusted. It was a complete slap in the face," said Andy McDonald, a Plant City grower and the association president.
Danit Marquardt, a Walmart spokeswoman, said that almost all of the strawberries sold in its Florida stores since late November, the start of the harvest, came from local growers.
"We typically only bring non-Florida berries into Florida when demand increases beyond the supply of local growers," she said in a Thursday email to The Ledger. "Additionally, we have supported our Florida growers this season by sourcing hundreds of thousands of cases of Florida-grown strawberries for Walmart stores in 15 other states."
McDonald and other growers said the slight came at a particularly bad time, when an oversupply of Florida strawberries came on top of a 19 percent increase in Mexican strawberries to the U.S. as of Jan. 26, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report. Mexican strawberry imports had set a record in the 2011-12 season.
"It was an insult to the very industry in Plant City to see strawberries from another country on the shelves at the peak of Florida production," said Carl Grooms, also a Plant City grower. "Every spot on the shelf taken by a foreign product takes away from a domestic product."
Ted Campbell, the association's executive director, sent a letter to Walmart complaining about sale of Mexican strawberries in the heart of the Florida's strawberry-growing area. He noted Walmart on Jan. 15 had announced a $50 billion initiative to buy more U.S. manufactured goods.
"On the same day of this press release, you were selling Mexican-grown strawberries in your Plant City store," Campbell wrote. "There is no greater disrespect to this community."
McDonald questioned why Walmart could not find Florida strawberries because local packinghouses have been full during January, traditionally a slow month for sales.
But McDonald, Grooms and other growers acknowledged they have to take some of the blame for the current low farm prices. A warm Florida winter and slow but continued growth in the state's strawberry acreage has resulted in oversupplies in January and last season.
"Even with an uptick in consumer demand, the increase in production is outracing demand," Campbell said. "If you're not growing demand and continuing to increase production, the price only goes one way."
Campbell estimated current Florida strawberry land at 11,000 acres. That's up from the most recent USDA estimate of 9,900 acres in 2010-11 and a 55 percent increase for a decade ago.
Radiance, a new strawberry variety that grows on more than 60 percent of that acreage, has been producing very well this season, McDonald said, and production has not been hampered by freezing weather typical of most seasons.
"We do it to ourselves, but if Mexico weren't involved, we'd be able to move all our strawberries at a fair price," he said. "We're all very concerned because we're picking below production costs. We're all losing money."
Wholesale prices for Florida strawberries started the season strong at $26 per flat in early December and stayed at about $15 into early January, USDA figures show. But the wholesale price for the past several weeks has stayed at $5.90 to $6.90 per flat.
Florida strawberry growers put their break-even price at $6 to $8 per flat, depending upon the size of the farm and individual production costs.
Some growers, after harvesting their strawberries and facing difficulty in finding a buyer, have accepted as little as $2 to $3 per flat, said Gary Wishnatzki, CEO of Wish Farms, a Plant City grower and packinghouse.
"I wouldn't blame Mexico totally for our market problems," said Wishnatzki, citing overproduction in Florida and low demand historically in January. "At least we got one good month under our belts. It's not unusual to go into a strawberry season with a few bad weeks."
Wishnatzki and others cited farm prices recovering this month as a reason for optimism.
Strawberry demand historically runs strong around Valentine's Day and Easter, Wishnatzki said.
An early Easter this year (March 31) favors Florida growers who remain in the market then, he added. Most of the state's growers stop picking in April, and the Easter market goes to California, the largest U.S. strawberry grower.
California recently experienced heavy rains and colder temperatures that will affect its strawberry production in the coming months, Wishnatzki said. By contrast, the forecast for Mexico this month calls for temperatures well above 90 degrees, which will hamper its production.
The combination could result in more Mexican strawberries travelling west instead of east, bolstering the price for the Florida crop in its traditional East Coast markets, he said.
Still, Wishnatzki said, "it's not going to be a great season for most growers. It will be spotty. Some will make a profit; others will not."

Circle of Iron (US - BD)
Gabe Powers rewatches one of David Carradine's weirdest on Blu-ray Disc
Reviewer Note: Besides a few grammatical corrections, this is the same review I wrote for the two disc DVD release.
Cord the Seeker, a powerful but arrogant martial artist, competes for the right to quest for the Book of All Knowledge held by a wizard named Zetan. He loses on a technicality due to his violent nature, but follows the winner along the path anyway. Along the way, he meets strange tests and challenges by enemies and allies. When the tournament's winner is killed during the first test, Cord takes over the quest.
Who knows exactly what to expect from an original story by Bruce Lee, James Coburn, and the writer of the Stallone arm wrestling epic Over the Top (and rewritten by one of the writers of the underappreciated Peter Sellers masterpiece The Mouse that Roared)? Well I should have. Lee's fans have uniformly despised this brand posthumous work for decades, calling such films bastardizations, and dismissing them outright. As a fan of the man, but not so much his films (except as forerunners to some of my favourites, of course), I'm thinking that this 'bastardization' of Lee and Coburn's original script may be what gives Circle of Iron it's fascinatingly cheesy, oddball charm.
The finished film sits about half way between the meaningful, but still sappy brand of 'Zen Buddhism' that Lee taught in life, and the daft, everything and the kitchen sink brand of martial arts films the United States put out after the master's death. Like Lee's unfinished Game of Death, Circle of Iron (aka The Silent Flute) anticipates fighting style video games, but also features the afterglow of the insistently pointed philosophical films of the late 1960s. On top of its ridiculous imagery, and shaky plotting, the film acts as an unintentional (or perhaps intentional?) parody of Confucianism and Taoism. It's even sub-Yoda at some points, but it's continuously charming and even intentionally funny on several occasions.
Circle of Iron is not for the impatient, and those expecting an Enter the Dragon styled actioner will probably be disappointed. It is an entertaining film, but on a very strange scale. The storyline wafts around, entirely unfocused, concerned with solitary scenes and interactions over a cohesive whole. The film's universe is slightly fantastic, and the mix of time periods and styles recalls super weirdo Alejandro Jodorowsky, had he ever directed a kung fu flick. The filmmaking choices are just as experimental, dated, and bizarre as the script, and I mean this in the best possible way. Director Richard Moore hadn't and didn't direct another film ever, but he was a working cinematographer, and his visual gifts are quite clear.
Really they don't make movies like this anymore, and that is the major reason to see Circle of Iron. That and the cast, which besides the always dependable David Carradine includes cameos from B-Movie elite like Christopher Lee, Eli Wallach, and Roddy McDowell. I've personally been a Carradine fan since I first saw Q the Winged Serpent and Death Race 2000, so his bravado turn in Kill Bill Volume Two was just the icing on my cake. I never watched Kung Fu (it was off air by the time I was born, and I don't spend a lot of energy on old TV), which was the 'offense' that seems to have made Lee's more unfair fans really hate the man, so besides a few seconds of fisticuffs with Uma and some pathetic late night exercise programs, I've thought of him as a great and underappreciated character actor rather than an action star. Here the snarky long-hair does not disappoint in any of his four roles. Our lead, Jeff Cooper (in a role that was apparently offered to Lee), is pretty flat, but his detached performance is oddly appropriate.
Coming of the last Blue Underground Blu-ray release, David Cronenberg's Fast Company, I can't help but be a little disappointed in this transfer. I think that companies like Blue Underground, which put effort into older and cheaper catalogue titles. Some films can only be taken so far into clarity. Circle of Iron is grainy in a slightly disconcerting manner, but the DVD's minor compression noise has been mostly done away with. Left over noise is due to the film's limitations, not digital compression. Details are occasionally fuzzy, and frankly not all that better than the DVD, but again, I don't know exactly what else could be expected from the source material. There is some print damage during the sex scene, but overall things have been cleaned as far as I'm sure the negatives allowed. The only definitive upgrade here is found in the noticeably brighter and fuller colours. Circle of Iron is a sort of goofily colourful film, and the sort of goofy tones pop like corn. Check out the circus scenes at the centre of the film to experience the transfer at both its strongest and weakest. The colours are incredible, and the details occasionally life-like, yet the darker things get the less pure the blacks, and the more grain infiltrates the hues.
As I said in my review of Blue Underground's second DVD release, remixed Mono tracks are often an awkward affair, but for the most part this release is the exception to the rule. This Blu-ray's 7.1 DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD tracks are a pretty close match to that previous release, but are generally a little crisper, and show off the mix's more impressive feats. Carradine's Blind Man flute fight, which comes pretty early in the film, is probably the best sampling of the remixed mono track's capabilities. The bulk of the audio is clearly centred, but the flicker of the fire leaks warmly into the stereo channels, while the occasional twist of the weaponized flute in the wind makes for wispy directional effects in the rear channels. Other directional effects sometimes seem to come from the wrong side of the screen, but are deftly separated. The music is a bit tinny and flattened, and the budget row sound effects show their age, but all it all fans can't go wrong with this one.
The ported special edition DVD extras begin with director Richard Moore's commentary track. The word 'commentary' is kind of a misnomer, as this is more of a semi-scene specific interview. A moderator keeps director Richard Moore on task, and it's decent as an interview, especially considering how long it is. This brand of forced focus could've done wonders for some of the less impressive single member tracks I've heard in my life.
The first interview is with Carradine, and is called 'Playing the Silent Flute' (14:00, SD). Carradine sticks most strictly to the film at hand, and his interview is the shortest overall. Dave divulges a lot of behind the scenes information, though parts of it don't gel with things other interviewees say. He has a genuine love for the film, and even calls it his favourite among his resume.
The second interview is with co-producer Paul Maslansky (30:00, SD), who's been around the Hollywood block more than a few times. I'm not very good at paying attention to producer names, so I was not familiar with the man. Turns out he's one of the guys behind Death Line (aka Raw Meat), and Race with the Devil, and he directed Sugar Hill. His real claim to fame was Police Academy, but we can forgive him for that. Maslansky is a laid back fellow, and his story a fun one to behold.
Interview three features martial arts coordinator Joe Lewis (31:00, SD). Lewis has quite an ego, but he's earned it. The guy's a bit of a martial arts phenom; even I remember him from the magazines I read in my childhood. Lewis is the guy who invented American kickboxing, and besides a starring role in the cult classic Jaguar Lives! and a handful of smaller roles, Hollywood wasn't really his bag. Speaking of bags, this guy bags on Carradine quite a bit. Lewis was brought in to tighten up the film's weak fight scenes, and Carradine took offence. You can almost hear the interviewer rubbing his hands together in delight as Lewis all but calls Carradine out for a fist fight.
The final interview is an audio interview with co-writer Stirling Silliphant (apparently that is his real name, 23:00, SD). The interview is old, and the audio quality damaged by both time and the fact that it seems the interview was recorded during a particularly loud cocktail party, but Silliphant is engaging, and the editors keep the Bruce Lee stills coming with enough vigour that the segment is entertaining. Silliphant actually manages to offer more insight to Lee's life and personality than Rob Cohen's 1993 film, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story.
An audio interview with co-writer Stirling Silliphant, a featurette (Bruce Lee's The Silent Flute: A History by Davis Miller & Klae Moore), a poster/still gallery, and the first draft of the script are accessible via DVD-ROM.
Blue Underground's Blu-ray release comes at an unfortunate time for Carradine fans (though it's intriguingly coincidental, is it not), but what better time to revisit one of the man's stranger features? Circle of Iron isn't going to please too many martial arts or Bruce Lee fans, but fans of Carradine and those that enjoy watching admirable failures should have a good enough time. The film is profusely charming despite its lofty and pretentious stance on spirituality and life, the look is sharp and colourful, and the fantastic bit players are consistently on target. The Blu-ray, which ports the extras from the previous special edition, is informative and entertaining, with good A/V considering the source material (though not a huge improvement over the DVD). Circle of Iron come highly recommended to those who know what they're getting into.

There is simply something of interest for every child in the new Lending Library at the Havelock-Craven County Public Library.
There is simply something of interest for every child in the new Lending Library at the Havelock-Craven County Public Library.
More than 200 items from unusual building blocks to musical instruments, and theme boxes featuring community, careers and cultures of the world are available for parents of children, childcare providers and teachers to check out in the new library program.
"This is a big day for us. It means growth," said Margie Garrison, librarian in Havelock. "This is just a marvelous way to teach children."
The library held a celebration last week to open the Lending Library.
"I think it�s wonderful that through the Bate Foundation that the library was able to make this possible," said Shirley Selepes, a member of the Friends of the Havelock Library group. "Anything to make our children as knowledgeable as we can is a good thing."
The Bate Foundation provided a $10,000 grant to purchase the materials in a collaborative project between Craven Smart Start and the library.
"We�ve tried to spend our money wisely," said Pinkie Moore, Craven Smart Start outreach coordinator. "We�re really pleased to do this."
Jennifer Bolz, an education resource specialist, said the games are geared toward learning.
"We believe that children learn through play," she said. "Any thing they can get their hands on helps make new brain connections. Even when they are playing with blocks, that can be a foundation for math later."
Bolz�s husband, Staff Sgt. Jason Bolz, from Marine Attack Training Squadron 203 at Cherry Point, built the shelves that hold educational toys, books, games, puzzles, parenting materials and curriculum tools. The items are multi-cultural and are designed for all ages of children.
"What is here is different than what you would find at a conventional department store," Garrison said. "I�m really excited about it. It�s really been a dream of mine to have it here since I saw it in New Bern."
The items are checked out for three weeks at a time, just like books.
America Yu-Lee, who has 4-year-old and 14-year-old sons, checked out a half-dozen units on the first day.
"They show shapes. They show colors. They show pictures and they have games," she said. "Bright color is very important for kids, and there are easy words to understand."
For more information, call the library at 447-7509.
