Combatting veteran homelessness is at our fingertips, according to a new initiative called Project REACH.
Real-time Electronic Access for Caregivers and the Homeless, or REACH, is taking submissions of mobile and website apps that will help homeless veterans find health clinics, food banks and housing -- rewarding the contest winner with $25,000, ABC reports.
The contest is being launched by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Jon Bon Jovi's Soul Foundation.
Pete Dougherty, acting executive director of VA's homeless veterans initiative, thinks that besides the money, there's a lot to be won in this challenge.
"Innovations that get information about services right to the point of contact in real or near real time using smartphones and Internet technology are going to have a big impact," he told Nextgov.com. "They are going to help us defeat veteran homelessness by 2015."
Veterans currently make up around 14 percent of the homeless population -- about 67,495 adults last year alone, according to REACH. The app actually targets volunteers as opposed to homeless -- many of who may not have phones.
"The expectation here is that we reach caregivers and volunteers [with the app]," Bon Jovi told ABC, citing that street teams could benefit from this technology immediately.
Besides the big grand prize, the top five finalists will receive $10,000 for their work.
Project REACH will take app submissions until July 27, with winners announced Nov. 3. To learn more about the contest, click here.

Net Neutrality is the principle that internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications, regardless of the source and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites.
During the most recent comment period, the Federal Communications Commission has received an overwhelming response from the public on this issue. In addition, Google as well as other companies are in support of the initiative. Orion Czarnecki Founder/Director of the security company known as Threat Level. He says when it comes to "paid privatization," a phrase that's at the heart of the issue, an ISP can charge a service provider or edge provider an additional fee for faster access by end users.
"The issue comes down to options," Czarnecki explains "Mr. and Mrs. Smith on any street of America, don't have a lot of options when they sign up for internet service at home. So what we essentially have is this market where we have very few options, and when they sign up for internet service, it's up to their ISP to dictate to them in this new world of fast and slow lanes, what services they'll get. Slower or faster according to what they're looking for, so far we haven't had to deal with that. Everything's been open, everything's been neutral in terms of traffic."
July 18th was the end of the initial phase of the FCC public comment period. Now Czarnecki says we're now in the public response period, where the public can respond to comments that have been posted so far. Visit http://www.fcc.gov/comments for more information.

From America OnLine:
My six year old son was diagnosed with diabetes on Monday. He has been having symptoms that are associated with diabetes, but not constantly. When he became sick with 104 degree temperature I took him to the doctor and I told him that he has been having some of the symptoms and being that diabetes does run in my family I was concerned.
So his doctor gave him a urine test and it was positive for sugar in the urine, he also sent it to the lab and again it was positive. Now when I got to the endocrinology office on Friday the urine test and the blood test was negative. They sent the blood out to be tested also and I have not gotten the results as of yet. But this has me very puzzled and concerned. Can he still have diabetes and it just doesnt show up all of the time?
I also have to inform you that whenever he becomes ill he has a very strong smell of alcohol that comes from his mouth this I have noticed happens whenever he is sick.
If you could please try and help me understand why this would happen. I am very concerned.
Occasionally children will have transient high blood sugar during an illness. If the blood sugar becomes normal very quickly, only 25% of these children will go on to develop true, permanent diabetes later on. Approximately 75% will never develop a high blood sugar again.
We know that the pancreas gradually stops making insulin before the blood sugar actually becomes high in true, permanent Insulin Dependent Diabetes. During an illness, more insulin is required than usual to keep the blood sugar normal. If the pancreas is failing, it may be able to make enough insulin to keep the blood sugar normal when your son is well, but may not be able to make extra insulin to keep his blood sugar normal when he is sick.
If your son develops signs of diabetes: thirst, frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, or fruity odor of the breath, you should contact his doctor immediately. You may want to ask his doctor if you should test his urine for sugar and ketones if he gets sick.

Getting the Brightest LED Flashlights
Acquiring the brightest LED flashlights appears to be an easy enough job on the surface, yet it is much less straightforward in practice compared to at first blush. Evaluating the brightest flashlights, LED or otherwise, rests on what one uses as the interpretation of brightness. In this article we aim to make clear the significance of different meanings and also to demonstrate how to narrow one's search to the best choices in an unbiased manner.
Designating the brightest LED flashlights as the ones produced by them (according to some unknown and even potentially manipulated set of signs), particular manufacturers cater to clients' general acceptance of marketing cases. This dishonest method is sadly all also usual. However, the sharp buyer can review between the lines without much difficulty and even dissipate the smokescreen.
The basic problem is that in some circumstances an unit gauging total luminosity (or lumens) is utilized and in various other instances one of luminous strength (lumens each area or candlepower) is used. The first action is more appropriate for wide, scattered beams created to light up sizable areas. The second action is a lot better if the light beam is narrow and intense, like a spotlight that illuminates nothing in the perimeter.
Our subjective sensation of illumination likewise depends on the application. We often relate a degree of illumination with how much and also just how clearly we can see in our visual field. But also for spotlight and streaming applications that indicates intensity within a tiny area, and even for general browsing applications it translates into a much bigger area.
So the key is to evaluate not only the total lumens sent out by a flashlight yet likewise the light beam size and even desired application. The luminosity it produces is identified by both the luminous effectiveness of the light bulb used and also the electrical power supplied.
Incandescent bulbs give off regarding 15-22 lumens each watt. The light sending out diode (LED) can producing hundreds of lumens each watt. To puts it simply, LEDs are a lot more efficient at converting power right into light than incandescent bulbs.
Conventional flashlights using incandescent light bulbs had the ability to control light beam size somewhat by differing the parameters of the parabolic reflectors used. Their illumination was directly proportional to the number of batteries linked. Due to the fairly low luminous effectiveness, the brightest flashlights were bulky, heavy, and also tough to handle.
On the other hand, LED flashlights are extremely intense despite minimal battery power. Given that emitted light is monochromatic, white light is manufactured by integrating three individual LEDs, each producing a different primary color. Beam of light size is controlled generally with faceting methods and even with shaping of the semiconductor substratum, though parabolic reflectors could additionally be used.
The LED synthetic white light is cold (bluer) and even has a little bit so much more glare compared to the incandescent light. This particular impacts the subjective sensation of illumination, making it hard to compare the two sources based upon complete lumens alone. However the LED is winning in the market for an entire host of lights applications merely since it is a lot more effective.
Designers at one time had to give up portability for brightness. However nowadays they don't need to compromise anything. They can make a flashlight that is light-weight, effortlessly operable with one hand, mountable on a rifle, and as bright as you want, even up to 1000 lumens.
So if you are in the habit of searching for the very best as well as brightest on the market, you might want to change your song. Brightness is no more the whole story; there are numerous various groups of flashlight applications, and so one's key objective ought to be leading in thought.
Nonetheless, specific parts of customers require remarkable illumination as their critical attribute. Those in police as well as the armed forces want tactical flashlights that can causing brief blindness on the opponent. Ladies crazy about protection are also fascinating in getting the brightest LED flashlights they can discover.

Another victory on road to cure
By Kenneth Fine
Published in News on February 1, 2013 1:46 PM
News-Argus/TROY HERRING
Ethel Barnes holds up a sign displaying money raised by last year's Relay for Life teams during the annual Relay for Life Kickoff held at First Pentecostal Holiness Church Thursday.

Eunice Massengill describes her experiences as a caregiver.
News-Argus/TROY HERRING
Jake May describes his experiences as a cancer survivor.
Bobby Massengill didn't cheer when a Relay for Life official announced that last year's main event saw Wayne County residents raise more than $420,000 to help fund cancer research.
He didn't hear his wife, Eunice, choke up when she referred to him as her "soul mate."
He didn't see the tears that fell from the eyes of those who converged on a Goldsboro church Thursday evening when a local teenager talked about the battle that has defined his life since he was diagnosed with leukemia.
Bobby lost his own fight with cancer several years ago.
But when Eunice delivered remarks meant to underline the significance of caretakers, the hundred-plus in attendance came to know a man who was taken from his greatest love far too soon.
"I don't regret one minute of the time I spent with him," she said. "And that's why I Relay. I don't want people to ever have to look in their children's faces, or their grandchildren's faces, and see what I saw. I don't want anyone else to have to feel like I do."
Some came to celebrate another day with friends and loved ones -- a day that, for the cancer survivors and those sitting beside them, wasn't guaranteed.
Others wanted to honor the memory of those not so fortunate -- the men, women, boys and girls they were forced to memorialize.
And while they came from different walks of life, they stood together against a common foe.
So when Ethel Barnes held up a banner that read, "$420,322.82" -- when she formally announced that, in 2012, Wayne's Relay had, again, raised more money than any event of its kind in the state -- those in the crowd boasted.
"That's what we did in Wayne County," she said, as the room erupted in applause. "And I just want to say, 'Thank you very much.'"
When Brenda Robinson compelled them to "work extra hard" this year to ensure the organization's $450,000 goal for 2013 is met, they, through nods and one-liners, complied.
And when, just before the conclusion of the Relay Kickoff Banquet, they listened to recent Eastern Wayne High School graduate Jake May unwrap his journey from cancer patient to survivor, they rose together and cheered the young man on.
"Go Jake," one woman yelled. "You go, boy."
His story, in the year-plus since he was diagnosed with leukemia, has spread across the county and beyond -- the local high school baseball player who fell ill his senior year and the community that wrapped its arms around him.
But Thursday, many, for the first time, got to hear it in his own words.
They learned that he had put off seeking treatment for a sore throat so he could make it through his pre-winter break exams -- that local doctors sent him to Duke University when they couldn't put their fingers on just what his body was attempting to fight off.
They heard the emotion in his voice when he talked about being diagnosed with cancer -- when he accepted the reality that he wouldn't be able to join his teammates on the diamond.
"I think that was the most I've cried probably in my whole life," Jake said.
And he walked them through 14 months of treatment -- a time period he characterized as "the new normal."
"You know, before, it was go to school, go to baseball practice, work out and hang out with friends. And now, the new normal was go to Duke every Friday, the next four days, lay in bed suffering the effects of chemo, then, maybe you get a couple of good days and go to baseball practice, but when you go, I still had to wear a mask. I couldn't shake hands," Jake said. "Wherever I went, cancer came with me."
But then the young man did something people didn't expect.
He told them how lucky he felt, despite all he had endured, to be alive -- that the death of fellow high school baseball player Kevin Wise made him realize just how fleeting life can be.
"I mean, he had the whole rest of his life to look forward to. It made me realize that pain is temporary. You know, whether it's six months of treatment or three years, this, for me, is temporary. I pray to God that it's temporary," he said. "But Kevin won't get that opportunity. ... It reminded me that I can't take things for granted."
And he, again, perpetuated his reputation as one of the county's most inspirational figures by, instead of cursing the hand he was dealt, embracing the man he said his cancer fight molded him into.
"It can be hard to stay positive. I mean, the first thing you're gonna ask is, 'Why me? This isn't fair. I'm young. I'm healthy. Why me?' But ... it was so easy to stay positive because of all the support I had," Jake said. "I never thought it would happen to me, but it did. Things knock you down like that, but you've got to roll with the punches.
"You know, sometimes I think, 'I wish this didn't happen. I wish I had never gotten cancer.' But if (I hadn't), I wouldn't be who I am today. It made me a stronger person."
The 2013 Relay is scheduled to take place Friday, May 10, at the Wayne County Fairgrounds.
Jake will be there.
Eunice will, too.
And Mrs. Barnes is confident that thousands of local residents will join them -- that this year's main event will shatter organizers' $450,000 goal.
It is, after all, far more than just a fundraiser, she said.
"It's about more than just money. It's about research. It's about a cure."

The 2014 BET Awards took place last night and boy was it long, clocking in at just under four hours. There were some great moments, like Lionel Richie receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Usher turning out the crowd with an entertaining medley of classics from his catalog. Host Chris Rock was on fire the whole night too, reminding us why he's one of the greatest comedians of our generation.
Performances aside, the actual awards given out were pretty predictable. Drake was an obvious lock for Best Male Hip-Hop Artist, and Nicki Minaj winning Best Female Hip-Hop Artist? It's only her fifth time...in a row. To spice things up, we'd like to hand out our own awards. Here are The Awards That Should've Been Given Out at the 2014 BET Awards. #NoShade.

This blog is part of a continuous series that highlights experiences, insights, and tutorials from fledgling developers at Flatiron in Web and iOS.
At The Flatiron School, we use Macs. As far as I know, every student in the class uses a borrowed Macbook Air from The City of New York. Before starting at Flatiron, the last time I used a Mac was in the mid 2000's. My elementary school PowerPC (not Intel) Macbook ran OSX version 10.4 "Tiger". The only reason I was able to determine which version it was is they added the Dashboard in that version and my 10 year-old brain thought it would be important that I remembered that.
Since then, much has changed in the Apple world (including Apple completely changing the world with the iPhone). I feel like it's a pretty stellar time to remind myself how to use a Mac and hopefully learn some new tricks to make productivity a bit better.
I started writing the rest of this post without knowing how to take a screenshot on a Mac. I'm not sure how I would ever figure out how to do that if Google didn't exist.
- Command + Shift + 3 = Full Screenshot
- Command + Shift + 4 = Interactive Screenshot
Finder Sidebar
Finder is Mac's file manager. Its fairly similar to Windows Explorer and Nautilus (for all of you Linux users), but being a product made by Apple, Finder is designed for a group of people that use technology completely differently than everyone else. Finder's default settings make it completely useless to a developer. Let's fix it.
By going to Finder > Preferences or pressing the Command + , keybind, you can access the Finder preferences. Under the Sidebar tab, you can add a home folder. While you're here, you can also remove some of these completely useless options.
Next, drag your development folder into the list as well.
Looks great!

3 Ways to Make Your Own Ice Melt
Chances are you already have the necessary ingredients for the homemade ice melt that can free you from the big freeze this winter.
Solid ice can bring your everyday life to a grinding halt, if you don't have the means to get rid of it. Sure, you rely on shovels and picks to remove ice, but it's a laborious process that can damage the underlying concrete or stone. And while ice melt works wonders, you're out of luck if a storm catches you off-guard. The next time that happens, try homemade ice melt. Read on to learn three ways to make homemade ice melt with ingredients homeowners often keep on hand.
1. Salt
Scattering handfuls of salt over an expanse of ice isn't going to do you much good. To be effective as an ice melt, salt must permeate the ice, not rest on top of it. For that reason, it's best to spread salt while pouring hot water over the ice. As the hot water melts the ice, the salt kicks in to prevent the liquid water from re-freezing. You can use ordinary table salt, but the best option is rock salt, which in addition to the other role it performs, provides traction for shoes and tires.
Note: The salt-and-hot-water method works to unstick tires, but do not use very hot water on a car windshield; the sudden temperature increase might cause the glass to crack. Also, bear in mind that high salt concentrations can be toxic to plants (though not as toxic as most store-bought ice melts).
2. Fertilizer
A common ingredient in commercial fertilizers, ammonium sulfate works by lowering the temperature at which ice melts. In other words, it doesn't melt ice immediately, but it hastens the process. And unlike salt, it can be spread over the ice surface. Check your garage to see if you have any fertilizer left over from spring, and on the package label, confirm that ammonium sulfate is listed as a component.
Note: While fertilizer may be safely used as a homemade ice melt for lawn and garden areas, it's best not used on driveways, paths, or in any instance where the fertilizer, once it combines with liquid water, might land in the municipal sewer. Famously, fertilizer runoff is an environmental concern.
3. Rubbing Alcohol
At -20 degrees, rubbing alcohol has a much lower freezing point than water. For that reason, alcohol often appears as one of many ingredients commercial ice melts. But if you have rubbing alcohol in the home for sanitary purposes, you can harness its ice-melting potential in a couple of ways. First, you can simply pour the alcohol on any icy areas you wish to break up. Or you can combine the alcohol with water in a spray bottle, creating a longer-lasting and easily portable ice-melting solution. Keep it in your car and use it the next time your door gets stuck or your windshield gets frosted over.
Additional Notes
No matter your chosen homemade ice melt, it's best to simultaneously lay down a substance that adds friction, at least to surfaces anybody might walk upon. Sand and salt—and kitty litter—all do the trick.

Noel Gallagher) =================== from "Definitely Maybe" Its taken me ages to figure out that he goes to Ab at the bridge type bit (pre-chorus). He throws in these unexpected chords fairly often it seems (see the Supersonic transcription at OLGA which is fine except it goes to D not E on the chorus as is written). Most (if not all) of the chords are barred, the B at the 7th and theres a lot of taking off of the barre (fore) finger so it adds an E and an A. Other than that just turn up the overdrive. intro: B (mess around) then B A->E B B I live my life in the city - there's no easy way out A E B The days moving just too fast for me, B Need some time in the sunshhyynnnnne - gotta slow it right down A E B The days moving just too fast for me. Ab E I live my life for the stars that shine B People say its just a waste of time Ab E When they said I should just feed my head B That to me was just a day in bed Ab E I'll take my car and drive real far B To where they're not concerned about the way we are A In my mind my dreams are real F# Are you concerned about the way I feel ? A E B To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star A E B To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star A E B To-night I'm a rock'n'roll star.

Then at the end there is a bit of a free-for-all - it goes first to an A (slide up from G) then I *think* it is E (fingered at 1st fret) and an E shape slid up two frets (so a sort of F#) - I may be wrong on this bit though - so any takers ? ************************************************************************** * Shaun Lawson email: firstname.lastname@example.com * ************************************************************************** * Mechatronic Systems & Robotics Research Group * * Dept. of Mechanical Engineering * * University of Surrey tel: (01483) 259681 * * Guildford UK fax: (01483) 306039 * * GU2 5XH www: http://robots.surrey.ac.uk/ * **************************************************************************

You'll probably be keen to get back to the things you did before being diagnosed. But you may still be coping with some side effects of treatment and with some difficult emotions.
It's important to talk about any concerns or questions you have with your cancer specialist and breast care nurse. After treatment, you may want to know what to expect, whether there's anything you should avoid, how to make the most of your health and where to get support.

It was another great Halloween bash. We did not have too many ghosts and ghouls this year, but we did have plenty of sexy lingerie girls, mixed in with some silly people. Ramon was the big rescuing fireman. There was a cowboy cheerleader that just needed a good strong fucking. Halloween should be at least four times a year. The girls can dress up like they secretly love to always dress, and the guys can just get away with being themselves. The ladies were having the time of there lives as Ramon was fucking the cheerleader. Everybody was smiling after this party especially the cheerleader.

A man was arrested and charged in the execution-style murders of two women inside a Northeast Philadelphia home. James Mears, 25, is charged with two counts of murder, robbery and other related offenses.
Mears allegedly killed Dollie Evans, 67, and Ruby Nell Thomas, 57, inside Thomas' home on the 4700 block of Vista Street in the Holmesburg section of the city just before 6 p.m. Saturday.
Thomas' body was found in the living room with a cord around her neck and a gunshot to the head. Evans' body was on the floor in an upstairs bedroom. She was also shot in the head.
Evans had an open-door policy, according to homicide investigators, and was known to let people from the neighborhood stay with her. Police say Mears knew both Evans and Thomas and was allowed inside the home because he needed a place to stay.
According to investigators, Mears' motive was robbery and he stole $500 from Evans before shooting her in the head. Mears also allegedly tried to strangle Thomas and then shot her in the head.
"It's very disturbing," said Philadelphia Police Captain James Clark. "It's a very coldblooded act, a heartless act. You have an individual that these two females let into their house out of the goodness of their hearts. He turns on them, goes to rob them and then ultimately takes both of their lives away from them. We're just very happy we were able to arrest him."
Mears was brought in for questioning Monday and officially charged Tuesday. According to investigators, Mears had a criminal record prior to Tuesday's charges and was just released from prison a few months ago. Mears is currently awaiting his arraignment.

People Before Profits
The article by Thomas J. Massaro, S.J., and Mary Jo Bane, Compassion in Action: A Letter to President Bush on Social Policy (3/12), was much needed. In recent weeks public dialogue has focused on across-the-board tax cuts and other proposals that do little to foster a just economic system in our country.
The electorate should impress upon President Bush and Congress the need for an economy that provides access to jobs and services that enable all people to support themselves and care for their families. We also need assurance that natural resources are protected for the universal common good in a sustainable and mutually beneficial way.
In short, we need an economic system that focuses on people before profits, a sustainable economy that addresses the needs of present and future generations. If people take up pen and paper now to demand this of their elected officials, we can all play a part in achieving this vision of economic justice.

Sexuality and Spirituality
In his recent article in America, Gerald Coleman, S.S., writes about the issue of Catholic school teachers coming out (3/19). I have the highest esteem for Father Coleman and his writings on homosexuality and pastoral practice. But I would like to raise some questions regarding this particular article.
He makes it very clear that homosexual youth are particularly challenged, since they often lack role models who can assist their efforts to integrate their sexuality. He goes on to say that for these youth an affirming environment does not usually exist at home, school or work; and homosexuals then almost inevitably face various forms of ignorance and prejudice from others. He speaks of sexual orientation as one component of who one is, rather than a secret that keeps one feeling isolated, lonely and ashamed.
For those very reasons I want to ask why gay and lesbian youth and also other students who may lack understanding regarding sexual orientation as an integral part of one's identity as a person should categorically be deprived of authentic role models in a Christian setting? I agree that the decision to reveal one's homosexual identity is not lightly made or done casually in a classroom. Much work remains to be done in Catholic schools to educate teachers and staff, as well as students and parents, on both the meaning of sexual orientation and the various teachings of the Catholic Church that pertain to this subject.
All that being said, are we to leave the experience of role models and coming out for only a secular setting, where support for the integration of sexuality and spirituality may be lacking?
In their article Three Passages of Maturity, James and Evelyn Whitehead spoke of a public witness of homosexual and Christian maturing and a gift to the next generation. It is precisely this witness and gift that is so needed in order to avert the tragic emotional and physical harassment and violence that gay and lesbian youth and those thought to be gay are experiencing daily in public and Catholic schools.

Power of Faith
What a remarkable journey Patrick Malone, S.J., has shared with us in his most eloquently communicated Lessons Learned (3/5). I laud him not only for the courage to endure his cross but to embrace it in a manner that sheds so much light on the power of faith. Thanks for such an inspiring literary contribution and for being yet another light that enables us to see more clearly the path to our God!

Thank you for the editorial Saying No to Israel (3/5). I was heartened to read it. This message is needed in American politics, and it is a viewpoint widely felt by my friends. Thanks for the courage to voice it, given our current political climate.

Security and Peace
I wish to congratulate you on your editorial, Saying No to Israel (3/5). It is a reasoned, balanced approach to the problem of security and peace in the Middle East.

Special Code
It is good that Gerald Coleman, S.S., recognizes that there are homosexuals who teach in our schools and do so ably and that homosexuals, like everyone else, have a right to respect, friendship and justice (3/19). The problem is that he then seems to establish a special code of conduct for gay or lesbian teachers that would not apply to heterosexual teachers. Whatever the rules are for a teacher sharing his or her sexual journey with a student, they should be the same for all teachers. The respect and justice that our bishops say is the due of gays and lesbians demands that they receive no less than equal treatment with that accorded all other persons. The standards for a teacher revealing sexual orientation or how a teacher acts as a role model for students are not topics for an article specifically on homosexual teachers alone. Father Coleman sets up a classic straw man so he can knock down an unreal myth.
The put-down of gay teachers as role models is especially ironic given the beautiful discussion of the new interpersonal model of marriage by Michael Lawler in the same issue of America. There is nothing in that model, whose action is the procreation of love, that cannot be satisfied by a loving same-sex couple. If that kind of love shines through in the empathy, care and interest that a gay or lesbian role model teacher displays in a classroom, so much the better.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
Kids are a funny bunch. They are often loath to change and anything new. But still, our little ones are open to so much—and so much more than we more ossified parents are!
Think of poetry: preschoolers happily read and repeat poems with ease and delights. Meanwhile, we grown-ups cannot possibly remember the last time we leafed through a volume of poems just for fun.
Now is the chance to follow our children's lead, once again. Start reading, remembering, repeating, adoring! Great fun awaits, starting with some of our favorites here:
Family of Poems: My Favorite Poetry for Children
We all probably have, somewhere upon our shelves, a weighty anthology of poetry that we last opened when studying for a college English exam. Now that we are parents, it has crossed our minds that our rhyme and rhythm-loving children might enjoy hearing some of those poems that we struggled to parse in English 101. But how to choose? Which ones, of the many thousands? We are lucky indeed that Caroline Kennedy has done the work for us, and given us her selection of favorite poems for children, each beautifully illustrated. No chronological plowing through the centuries here - the poems are arranged according to themes preschoolers know and love: animals and adventure, silliness and seasons, and bedtime of course, among others. But these familiar childhood topics usher in the greatest poets of our language, from Shakespeare to Walt Whitman to Langston Hughes to Sylvia Plath. Reading their words aloud to our little ones is pure pleasure. And small word-sponges that they are, won't our kids be pleased with themselves when it is their turn to take an English exam, and they can conjure William Blake from memories of reading on a parent's lap?
It's a silly book. It's a strange book. It's the perfect introduction to Dr. Seuss. In this most nonsensical of nonsense poems, Dr. Seuss teaches rhythm, rhyme and the delights of manipulating language. He also teaches the fundamental precept of Seussian philosophy: "Everyday, from here to there, funny things are everywhere." Our children know that already, but we parents do need the reminder once in a while. Thank goodness for Dr. Seuss!
Dog Days: Rhymes Around the Year
We do revere Jack Prelutsky's poems, even if they haven't been as close to our hearts for as long as, say, Sendak's Chicken Soup with Rice. And when Mr. Prelutsky turns his talents towards the months of the year and works through the perspective of a dog, we are really charmed. This book is funny and sweet and your little one will simply love it. The illustrations are little gems—there are some hidden treats to reward the careful observer, and the whole effect is a true success.
This quite modern take on the classic rhymes is simply breathtakingly lovely. The pen and watercolor drawings just blow us away. Some lesser known rhymes are mixed in, and many of the poems are visually linked through their illustrations (the queen in Pussycat, Pussycat is sitting next to Old King Cole; a frog celebrating the rain is shadowed by a mouse plaintively wishing Rain, Rain, Go Away). The characters are all rendered as animals, and certain especially harsh endings from the original are softened through the kind touch of the illustrations.

The conclusions drawn from this piece are solely that of aGREATER.US. Below is the introduction of a longer piece written by Harvey Rosenblum, the head of the Dallas Fed's Research Department in the 2011 Annual Report of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. It says about Mr. Rosenblum, "...a highly regarded Federal Reserve veteran of 40 years and the former president of the National Association for Business Economics."
"More than three years after a crippling financial crisis, the American economy still struggles. Growth sputters. Job creation lags. Unemployment remains high. Housing prices languish. Stock markets gyrate. Headlines bring reports of a shrinking middle class and news about governments stumbling toward bankruptcy, at home and abroad.
Ordinary Americans have every right to feel anxious, uncertain and angry. They have every right to wonder what happened to an economy that once delivered steady progress. They have every right to question whether policymakers know the way back to normalcy.
American workers and taxpayers want a broad-based recovery that restores confidence. Equally important, they seek assurance that the causes of the financial crisis have been dealt with, so a similar breakdown won't impede the flow of economic activity.
The road back to prosperity will require reform of the financial sector. In particular,a new roadmap must find ways around the potential hazards posed by the financial institutions that the government not all that long ago deemed "too big to fail"—or TBTF, for short.
In 2010, Congress enacted a sweeping, new regulatory framework that attempts to address TBTF. While commendable in some ways, the new law may not prevent the biggest financial institutions from taking excessive risk or growing ever bigger.
TBTF institutions were at the center of the financial crisis and the sluggish recovery
that followed. If allowed to remain unchecked, these entities will continue posing a clear and present danger to the U.S. economy.
As a nation, we face a distinct choice. We can perpetuate TBTF, with its inequities
and dangers, or we can end it. Eliminating TBTF won't be easy, but the vitality of our
capitalist system and the long-term prosperity it produces hang in the balance."
[Editor's note: The only argument I have heard to defend not breaking up the TBTF banks is for mercantile reasons. Other countries have "super" banks that can fund projects that could not get off the ground any other way. In-other-words we need to compete with other countries in the world market. However, consensus is rapidly forming that a consortium of regional banks, and/or even the Fed could be involved in monumental projects for the national interest. This leaves groups as diverse as the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street in agreement over Ending Too Big To Fail. Systemically, why then has this not come to pass? Big Banks fund the (re)election of two-party candidates every election cycle. So, please consider not only rating this 5 Stars, but also "#ShouldElectedOfficials Stop Taking Money From Corporations They Regulate?" http://www.agreater.us/billpage.php?id=274 ]
Op-ed Guidelines
Please bring up points that were missed, elaborate on issues not fleshed out, add ways to make the idea/bill better, suggest a companion for GREATER Raters to consider. Please check your facts, grammar, syntax, punctuation, credit sources and quotes, and keep it under 500 words unless you absolutely cannot—then never more than 700 words. Please keep your criticism constructive. We will likely not print destructive criticism although a well written partisan rant bringing up new issues in the idea/bill or previous Op-eds may be accepted if it ends on a constructive note—especially if it offers an alternative idea/bill.
Shorter "letters" are encouraged that bring a new facet to the subject. The intent of the Op-eds is to fully cover the issue for the kind reader to consider before rating, and not waste their time with redundancy or the dreaded—"people-screaming-at-one-another-while-wearing-earplugs-syndrome." Think of the idea/bill as the base with the Op-eds stacked on top to form a structurally sound argument. The goal here is to have a GREATER US for the greatest number of citizens/neighbors. We may publish your piece without notice—so please only submit completed articles. We may, also, contact you for a rewrite or edit. We might even offer suggestions. It is our intention to fairly present the views of fiscal conservatives, independents, and social liberals—to find the overlap of whole-hearted support (nonpartisan) plus the commonality of the "I-can-live-with-that" (bipartisan).

Daytime Heroes: Jayce & the Wheeled Warriors (1985)
It was one of those shows where the hero is looking for a missing father, and that had been done before on Saturdays in the past (i.e. Jana of the Jungle & New Adventures of Gulliver). In this case, Jayce had all these marvelous vehicles and his friends to support him against the mutant Sawboss and his Monster Minds. Long-time ABC studio announcer Ernie Anderson paints the word picture in the open, uploaded by JediJuggernaut:
Bear in mind, this was back when DIC had cool shows with awesome animation. The quality of the animation would deteriorate around the early 90's. Small wonder, then, that DIC is no longer around, having been absorbed by Canada's Cookie Jar Entertainment within the last two years. Could Jayce make a comeback? Only if someone had the bucks to get the rights and the imagination to finish the story.
Rating: A.

I definitely remember this one!
I had a crush on Jayce (I liked the skunk stripe - it looked so cool!) and every episode was full of action.
It did annoy me that a definitive ending never came (that I can remember. Apparently the Monster Minds were accidentally created by Jayce's dad, and his little sister was supposed to be part plant as well (and would warn the gang that the evil plants were nearby).
One of the team was also a Han Solo type along with a wizard guiding them on their quest.
Definitely one of DIC's better shows.

I used to watch this pretty regularly when it first came out, and I thought Flora (I believe that was her name) was soooooo cute. Yeah, she did have some plant to her, IIRC, to explain her powers.
It's just too bad everyone was gravitating over to Transformers, She-Ra, et al, and left this behind.

7. Bring something to read while you are waiting in line when you have to go to the bank. I suggest the entire A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin, or make your own house sigil while you wait. ;)
6. After trip to said bank, indulge. I suggest the awesome dessert listed above. No oven necessary and only requires 3 ingredients. En serio.
5. Maybe you'd rather eat some dog food though....
4. Make sure you prepare everything you will need for your immigration paperwork and renewal and have extra copies of everything. I have documented some personal experiences here.
3. Always be on the lookout for robbers (or as my English students used to say, "stolers") on the metro and everywhere else. Guard your things well, especially in touristic places. Put the strap of your bag between your legs whenever you sit inside (except your house, maybe...). If somebody buzzes your apartment to be let in, do not let them in unless you know who they are. It is common here for people to ring buzzers and expect to be let in to distribute pamphlets or say they are the electric company, just to get entrance to buildings. Do not let anyone in that you do not know. Please!
2. Learn a little Catalan, it will come in handy and may just make someone's day (perhaps yours!). Get to know the culture of where you are living to maximize your experience.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand..... (drum roll please!)
|This brief interlude also encourages you to visit Carcassonne.
It's pretty awesome.
1. Pack light. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS SACRED AND GOOD. Now that I am preparing to leave for the summer, I am miserably deciding what I will try to store here, and what I must throw away. Resist the urge. Pack light! You can get almost anything you want here if you know where to look. You will thank me at some point.
Any other tips? Please post comments below to share with others.

SAN FRANCISCO --A California Department of Motor Vehicles clerk was suspended after allegedly mailing a condemning letter to a transgender woman.The unidentified DMV employee was placed on administrative leave with pay in October, shortly after 23-year-old Amber Yust said she received the letter.
The DMV is now investigating the incident.
Yust applied for a license in her female name at a San Francisco office. Four days later, she said she received a letter from the clerk who processed her application.
It was addressed to her male name, David, and referred to her gender change as, "a very evil decision."
The note said she would be condemned to hell.
She filed a claim this week against the state for damages.
Her attorney, Christopher Dolan, tells the San Francisco Chronicle the employee's suspension is not enough.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Where is your bakery?
Our bakery is now closed. You can now recreate the recipes made in our San Francisco bakery with our new 10th Anniversary gluten free cookbook! We have shared all of our juicy baking secrets in this book.
Where can I buy your gluten-free, dairy-free cookbook?
'Crave Bakery Gluten Free Cookbook: Over 60 Gluten and Dairy Free Recipes from San Francisco's First Gluten Free Bakery' is now available for your iPad through iTunes or your Kindle through Amazon.
Why don't you use ingredients like butter and wheat flour that are traditionally used in baking?
There are over 10 million people in the US who can't tolerate those foods due to allergies, sensitivities and intolerances. Crave Bakery strives to provide a delicious alternative so people don't feel like they're missing out.
What is gluten?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and several other grains. Gluten is especially harmful for people with Celiac Disease. For more info, go to: www.celiac.org
Are these recipes suitable for people who are on a GFCF diet or autistic?
Yes! Since we use no milk products, our baked goods are also casein-free. Many specialists believe that autistic children reap great benefits by adhering to a GFCF (gluten-free, casein-free) diet. Crave Bakery's recipes align with these requirements.
What is casein?
Casein, the principle protein in cow's milk, is widely used in the food industry and creates various physical health problems for those with dairy allergies.
Is soy lecithin (the emulsifier in Crave chocolate) safe for soy allergic folks?
Studies done at University of Nebraska and Michigan show that most soy allergic individuals may safely eat products that contain soy lecithin and soy oils. These substances are fat based, and persons with allergies react to the protein portion of the food. Of course, there are individuals who are more sensitive and if that's the case, even lecithin should be avoided. Check with your allergist.
Who are Crave recipes for?
We believe our recipes are so good that everyone will enjoy them. No kidding- check out our testimonials! But the people who are most excited about our venture are those allergic to wheat, dairy or gluten intolerant (Celiac Disease).
Do you use any artificial colors or flavors in your recipes?
We believe our recipes taste better and are better for you with all natural ingredients.
Are your recipes peanut-free?
Yes, all recipes are peanut-free. However, if peanuts are not an issue for you, feel free to enhance any of our recipes with peanut butter or peanut butter chips.
Do you have vegan recipes?
No. At this time, our focus is on food sensitivities, including wheat, gluten, soy and milk. However, you can feel free to try egg replacer in any of our recipes.
Are your recipes corn-free?
Most of our products are corn-free. The culprits tend to be enriched dairy-free milk alternatives, powdered sugar and xanthan gum. Check our blog for recommendations on corn-free ingredients.
Are your recipes soy-free?
Most of our recipes are soy-free. Please note that any product with dark (bittersweet) chocolate has soy lecithin. Soy Milk can be substituted with another dairy-free milk alternative of your choice.
Are your recipes sugar-free?
Our recipes aren't sugar-free. However, you can substitute Xylitol into most recipes fairly seamlessly. If you'd prefer unrefined sugar, try Sucanat or Turbinado.
Why palm oil?
It's organic, dairy-free, non-hydrogenated, cholesterol-free, a good source of Vitamin E and works like butter!
Why free-range eggs?
Eggs are the only animal ingredients in our recipes. When given the option, please choose the animal conscious choice.

Quick Reference
Was a great-great-grandson of king Ceawlin and the son of Cenberht (whom the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 661 described as king, i.e. a sub-king). His reign was brief and eventful. He was born c.659 and was therefore twenty-six when he forced Centwine from the throne in 685; the Celtic-sounding name suggests that his mother may have been a British princess. His wife was Cynethryth. Before he gained the throne, he had spent some time in exile in the Chilterns and the Sussex weald, where he had met and been befriended by bishop Wilfrid, though he remained a pagan. He and his brother Mul campaigned against the men of Kent and Sussex, killing Aethelwald, king of the South Saxons, c.680, and taking the Isle of Wight (686), where they killed the last king and his two brothers. Bede recorded, with some satisfaction, that Caedwalla 'endeavoured to wipe out all the natives by merciless slaughter', in order to replace them by Christians. When his brother was captured and burned by the men of Kent, Caedwalla returned to devastate the kingdom and avenge his death. Suddenly there was a dramatic change of heart, perhaps brought about by the onset of illness. In 688 he abdicated in favour of a kinsman, Ine, and journeyed to Rome. In a long and detailed passage, Bede related that Caedwalla was baptized by pope Sergius, took the name Peter, but survived only seven days, dying 20 April 689. He was buried in St Peter's.

Welcome to D. Talks On Games. My intention is to transfer my designs notes for board and role playing games onto the web so I can finally share everything I've been working on for the last 14 years with the world. Sometimes you just need to let it all out.
Things you will soon be able to find on my site:

It's a little late to be doing a May favourites but I've had a few things that I've had for a while but have been loving especially in the month of May. These are great products for the summer!
These Milani baked blushes have been raved about all over youtube and for good reason! They are so great and the pigmentation is beautiful! I have the shades Bellissimo Bronze, Berry Amore and Dolce Pink. They are so gorgeous and the gold lines that weave through the powder creates a stunning glow on the cheek which makes it perfect the summer!
This foundation is amazing! I used it for my wedding and I bought the bottle instantly. It comes with a pump which is convenient and its great for people with oily skin because it keeps you matte for most of the day. It has a really smooth finish and its coverage is medium coverage but can be buildable to a full coverage. It can be applied nicely with a flat top kabuki brush or a beauty blender. My shade is the colour 123 Desert.
This is the Urban Decay's super-saturated ultra intense waterproof cream eyeliner. I have tried a few different gel liners but this one is my favourite! It applies so smoothly and doesn't tug at your eyelid like other gel liners do. It sets to a matte finish and stays put the entire day.
This is the best makeup creation ever! Especially for a big-brow'd girl like me! I have really thick, bushy eyebrows and I refuse to trim, tweeze, wax, or thread them, litterally nothing! And I have my personal reasons for why I don't do them but either way they get unruly at times so this clear brow gel is a lifesaver. It keeps them put all day and I don't have to touch up at all during the day!
Tiki is an affordable high-lighter from the drug store. It was from the brand Hard Candy and I love it. Drug store bronzers and high-lighters are tricky because the colour is never spot on and they can be really powdery. But this high-light is gorgeous for the summer! I used this product in my post called Summer dewy glow! Check it out! http://lavieenmauve-jj.blogspot.ca/2014/05/motd-summer-glowydewy-look.html
I'm not a big clinique girl but everyone and their mama has been raving about this so I thought I would try it and so far I do believe its worth the hype! I love this gel moisturizer because its a gel. It sinks into my skin right away and doesn't leave a greasy residue and its a great "moisture surge" for your skin. I use it on my face and especially on my little dry patches and I can see a difference already!
Hope this gives you some ideas for things to pick up this summer. These are some items I've been loving especially in May! These products are all great for the summer and I would highly recommend them to everyone!!

There are two main attributes that define a non-admitted insurance company. First the company is not regulated in the state, and second the company does not contribute to the state guaranty fund. We will explain what each of these attributes means so that you can answer the question, am I safe with a non-admitted company for my insurance?
Non-admitted Company's Policyholders Are Not Covered by State Guaranty Fund
A state guaranty fund is a quasi-governmental organization administered by individual states to help provide financial protection for insurance policyholders in the possible event that their insurance carrier becomes financially insolvent. These funds only provide coverage for insurance companies who are "licensed" in that state. A non-admitted company is NOT licensed in that state. (Every non-admitted company approved for operation must by license in at least one state.) Every state has a guaranty association, although not every guaranty association operates under the same rules. Insurance companies are legally required to be members of these associations.
Most states have two guaranty associations: one for property and casualty companies and one for life and health companies.
When an insurance company becomes insolvent and can't meet its obligations to pay claims, the association steps into the shoes of the insurance company and pays those claims. In some states, the association will refund unearned premiums when policies are canceled. The association then will assess its membership to pay those claims and loss adjustment expenses. In many states the insurance companies are allowed premium tax credits to offset those assessments.
Insurance companies who are in "rehabilitation" are not considered to be insolvent and, therefore, claims for coverage are not allowed under guaranty funds.
The amount of recoverable loss is limited by statute and varies from state to state from $100,000 to $300,000.
In my experience state guaranty funds are political and unpredictable as to what they will do. Therefore, I think that anyone who depends on a state guaranty fund for coverage will be poorly served.
A Non-admitted Insurance Company Is Not Regulated by the State
While it is true a non-admitted insurance company is not regulated by the state where it is considered "non-admitted", it is also true that every non-admitted company that is approved to write business is admitted in at least one state. That state or states have full regulatory authority over the company and perform normal financial and operation audits.
Admitted companies must file their rates and policy forms. Non-admitted companies do not file either rate or form.
Non-admitted companies are required by states to file financial information, articles of incorporation, list of officers, and other general details. In most states non-admitted companies are prevented from writing risks that are readily available through admitted companies. Non-admitted companies tend to provide insurance coverage for unique and unusual risks. Since non-admitted companies avoid filing expenses they can economically address the needs of individual risks.
Studies show that the percentage of non-admitted companies that become insolvent is lower than the percentage of admitted companies that become insolvent. However, it is key that the insurance buyer exercised proper diligence in checking the company's financial rating through companies like A.M. Best.
Insurance companies are in business to create profits. I believe that the profit motivation is much stronger than any regulator's drive to protect. Further, most non-admitted companies are subsidiaries of admitted companies. Although the parent company isn't necessarily financially obligated for the subsidiary, many parent companies will not want the stigma of allowing a subsidiary to become insolvent.
Are you safe with a non-admitted company? You are as safe, and considering historical data, maybe even safer with a non-admitted company.
However, to sleep a little better at night you might ask your broker or agent whether of not his professional liability insurance policy will cover insolvency for a non-admitted company? (Normally and insurance agent has no liability as long as the company was solvent when the policy was purchased. However, the laws become cloudy when a non-admitted carrier is involved.)

Enhanced Insurance is not written by attorneys. If you're looking for legal advice, you need to contact a lawyer. Further, insurance practices and forms change constantly and are varied from state to state. For definitive answers in your area, contact a local agent.
While the majority of people want an agent involved in their purchase of insurance, many people want to see if they can save money by buying direct from the insurance company. Others want to try a direct quote to make sure the premium they're now paying through their local agent is fair.

All Eyes West
Chicago (USA)
The Chicago scene has always been known for its gritty and honest punk rock defined by bands like Naked Raygun, Screeching Weasel, and 88 Fingers Louie. Newcomers All Eyes West, no strangers themselves to the Chicago scene, are continuing in its great tradition with the upcoming release of their self-titled debut LP on Jump Start and Ass-Card Records.
All Eyes West came together in the summer of 2010 and is lead by vocalist/bassist Justin Miller's emotionally charged lyrics which have been a signature to bands like Arizona's Signsedso as well as well as Chicago indie rockers Hinter. Guitarist Jeff Dean is known for the sound that has defined bands like The Bomb (with Jeff Pezzati of Naked Raygun), Noise By Numbers, and Explode and Make Up. Rick Fast, who has been a staple of the Chicago indie rock scene in bands like Dialogue rounds out the trio on drums. In the year since their inception the band has managed to build an impressive resume, touring both coasts and playing with bands like Rival Schools, Seaweed, Soul Control, and Let Me Run. As if that weren't enough, the band completed their first UK tour in June of 2011 and don't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
The band's self-titled effort was recorded at Million Yen Studios by guitarist Jeff Dean and mastered by Jon Drew (Tokyo Police Club, Fucked Up). On it, the band plays homage to 90's rock giants like Swervedriver, Drive Like Jehu, Jawbreaker, and Husker Du, providing a some fresh air in today's punk rock world.
