I'm not a real fan of math. I blame a grade five teacher that used competitive multiplication games that humiliated me. Before that, I liked math. Ever since I've felt that I have some sort of a math disease. I was so happy when I discovered the word "dyscalculia" in teacher's college. That's what I have! My brain is just not able to process math…
Bollocks! I'm bad at math because I fear it. It has nothing to do with the cells in my brain. If I train my brain with more mathematical thinking, I'll get better at it, just as it is with most things. Half the population wasn't just born with the inability to do math. "Oh, I'm not a math person." What you mean is, you don't enjoy math, you're scared of it, and you haven't worked at it enough.
I see strong parallels to using technology. I hear the same,"Oh, I'm not a computer person." As an eLearning Contact in a small school board, it's part of my job to try to convince teachers to use more technology in their classrooms, so I encounter this a fair amount.
It seems to be that some people believe that their body emanates some kind of negative electrical impulse that causes computer technology to go wrong. "That stuff never works for me." "I don't want the hassle." "I can't be bothered." Well of course you're not going to be a pro if you continually avoid using it because you feel you're not good at it.
The truth is, just like math, if they work on it, they can master it. And they'll probably discover that it's not all that hard. People aren't born being bad at computers; it's just a learned skill. We just need to not fear it. Fortunately, the computer user-experience has come a long way (lead mostly by web-applications, in my opinion). It's much less likely that people will 'break' something in the computer by exploring. What one needs, however, is merely the courage to explore. There is so much that technology can do to make your life easier, more efficient and, in the case of teaching, can help increase student learning. It's worth it; it's necessary.
Take heart, computer fearers; it won't hurt you. Muster up the courage to explore and learn; it'll get better.
(Fortunately for me, my courage in embracing technology has mitigated the damage caused by my fear of math!)

Greetings Triangle fans!! It's that time of the week again, and I'm sure you know what to do . . . Last week, Cici, Only and myself were left speculating if Young Dal's quick, yet risky rise to the top of his local crime boss ladder would leave him in a position of power, or if it would leave our young dreamer in a position of peril. Join us as we sit down and sift through an episode filled with much inner turmoil, yet still laced with many a sweet moments . . . which, unfortunately, only makes every decision made that much more meaningful for our dear brother trio . . .
Turning over a new leaf
Cici: Young Dal really is sweet when he's with Jung Hee. He is so earnest in his attempts to please her! He dresses up, borrows a nice car, and makes reservations at a fancy restaurant out of town. He even thanks Jung Hee for spending time with him in spite of his bad reputation. And to her credit, she does consistently defend him whenever anyone looks down on him or refers to him as trash. She is willing to actually get to know him as a person, without any preconceived ideas. At last he has found someone who makes him see the error of his previous ways and inspires him to be a better person. And the way she puts his mind at ease, telling him that her past is no better than his, really made me appreciate her. Now it's time to ramp up the romance!
Take care of me . . . and I'll take care of you.
Only: So . . . is it just me, or does it seem like Dong Soo may have figured out who Yang Ha is? Yay for progress! He must be feeling a whole range of emotions, meeting his younger brother as the adopted son of his worst enemy. Given his antagonistic personality, I can't even imagine how Yang Ha is going to react when he finds out, or what kind of reasons the Chairman had for adopting the son of a man whose murder he ordered. One thing we know for sure: There's no way Dong Soo is going to let this slide.
Outnumbered but never outfought
Firnlambe: I've said it before, and I'll say it again . . . this side of Lee Bum Soo's acting is awesome!! It's always fun to see an actor really understand and work on their character by doing as many of their own stunts as physically possible. Lee Bum Soo is totally believable as Dong Soo and he makes kicking gangsters to the curb look easy . . . unfortunately there were just too many thugs for him to handle on his own. And while I do feel horrible for Dong Soo, being kicked while down had gotta hurt, I felt worse for Shin Hye who witnessed it all yet could do nothing to assist. Thankfully she was able to remember the license plate on the thugs' van.
This is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you . . .
Cici: This broke my heart. Go Bok Tae commands Young Dal to "take care of" Dong Soo, and it clearly tortures him to comply. Dong Soo knows he is going to get beaten up out of retaliation for his attack on Bok Tae, and he is willing to let Young Dal do it in the hope that it will increase Go Bok Tae's trust in him. It's a sacrifice he's willing to make, and one more way that he cements his relationship with Young Dal. But it sure is painful to watch.
Byung Soo lays down the law
Only: The shameless Byung Soo is rapidly becoming my favorite character. Even after a full meal of beef rib-eye BBQ, he still tells Young Dal to back off his sister. But then, I think everyone in this episode had something to say about the two of them getting together, including Jung Hee's friend, her evil co-workers, Young Dal's lame sidekicks, Madame Han, and especially the jealous Yang Ha. The only problem is that I'm not seeing any chemistry between Young Dal and Jung Hee; they're still acting more like friends. Seriously, would some hand-holding kill them? I'd even settle for a significant look at this point.
With friends like this, who needs enemies?
Firnlambe: OH MY GOD!!! If I could travel through space and time, I would slap the living daylights out of this man . . . seriously dude, shuuut UP . . . is that really too much to ask? First your loose lips lose Young Dal the biggest cash flow either of you will ever see, and now *sigh* now you're spilling secrets . . secrets that could completely ruin Young Dal's future plans, your father, *extreme sarcasm* and I'm sure he's a man who can keep his mouth shut waaaaay better than you can. How Young Dal places any amount of trust in the man is beyond me. I would have dropped him like a hot sweet potato after he lost me the 50 million won to Go Bok Tae.
Disaster . . . or opportunity?
Firnlambe: This could go one of two ways . . . Yang Ha gets the outcome he's hoping for, locking Young Dal up in handcuffs right in front of Jung Hee. OR since Young Dal has now seen Jung Hee, he decides to forgo any plan he might have had and instead takes a hit to his pocket book, and then just waits for another opportunity to strike the casino. Personally, I'm hoping Young Dal knew they were being taped and has some other plan to hit the casino with. I can totally see him doing that, leading on those around him into thinking they know what he's got planned and instead doing something COMPLETELY different.
So readers . . . Did you tear up when Jung Hee told Young Dal not to be embarrassed in front of her? Were you angry when Go Bok Tae made Young Dal beat up Dong Soo? Or were you on the edge of your seat when Yang Ha met Dong Soo? Let us know in the comments below which scenes had you cheering and which ones had you cringing.

MIAMI — — In the tug of war for fans in a highly competitive market such as South Florida, sometimes push comes to shove.
That became evident during a panel discussion involving executives of several Florida professional teams Thursday at a sports business symposium.
Asked about the relationship between the teams in South Florida, Marlins President David Samson said, "The three Miami teams work really well together."
When further discussion suggested discord between those teams and the Broward-based Florida Panthers, Samson alluded to an incident in March when fans upset about some of the Dolphins' offseason moves protested outside the team's training facility in Davie.
According to media reports, two sales representatives for the Panthers stopped by and handed out business cards to protesters and gave free tickets to one who was wearing a Panthers T-shirt.
"Let's put it out there: What really hurt this year — and we talked about it — is what happened with what the Panthers did at the Dolphins' practice facility a few months ago. That's not what you do when you're in a market when you're working together with teams. It's just not appropriate," Samson said.
Samson was joined in the discussion by Dolphins CEO Mike Dee, Heat President of Business Operations Eric Woolworth and Orlando Magic CEO Alex Martins. Michael Yormark, Panthers president and COO, was scheduled to participate but had to leave town due to a business matter, team spokesman Matt Sacco said.
In a statement issued later Thursday, Yormark downplayed any suggestion of bad blood between the Panthers and the other teams, pointing out that he has hosted executives, coaches and players from all three at numerous Panthers events, including the recent playoffs.
Regarding the incident at the Dolphins' training facility, Yormark's statement said in part: "While we support that type of initiative in our staff members, we certainly do not condone it in that particular forum or setting. We spoke to those sales executives, underlying the respect we have for the other teams in the market, and the issue has since been rectified."

France did the following:
1) Supported Nazism by not fighting it (French Resistance was 95% Jewish immigrants sent to work in the factories, 3% mountain peoples from Itally and French border, and 2% french).
Seems like you know firsthand. I will not ask for proof on that.
2) They have more whores than the rest of the world combined.
Again: proof.
4) They lie, oh how they lie. They try to say the Iraqi Liberation is all about oil, yeah...FRENCH OIL! They're losing 60billion dollars in deals with Saddam.
Resistance. Prove they didn't.
5) Can I stress enough that they did nothing to end NAZISM?
You surely are not that *old* to remember. Proof.
6) They spat on our soldiers as we poured in through Normandy.
Yeah, and made satanic rituals, umm yeah. Boy, you are not making any sense. Send proofs.
7) They desecrated the Normandy Cemetaries.
Nothing is a serious word. Are you sure of that? (not about Joan of Arc, I agree she was incinerated. In your country the women accused of sorcery were hanged *or* incinerated. That makes a difference)
8) They've done almost nothing for JUSTICE, even to the point of killing their ONLY saviour, Joan of Arc.
Vietnamese people fought against the Frenchs to gain independence, and then against USA to gain again independence.
9) They are the whole reason Vietnam is Communist. Ho Chi Min came to America and asked for our aid to fight against the French, and he would model his government after ours. Because we were "allies with the French" we refused, which ended up in 50,000 more American deaths. All thanks to the worthless French.
At that time, the clero was like the mafia. At least they did something against it.
10) They killed two popes in the late 1200s and put a puppet pope into power "Pope Clement V". And thus destroyed the Knights Templar.
Instead, you succeded in economically conquer Europe. I almost forgot: you succeded in killing hundred of thousands of native Americans, Mexicans, French, English and even yourselves to conquer most of North-America.
11) They tried to take over Europe with "Napoleon". Killing, hundreds of thousands.
You seem to travel a lot, not to say anything about you being on a French jail.
12) And their prisons are beyond reproach. Worse than anything in Camp X-ray.
The French as a nation can kiss my butt. They have a lot of "Civilizing" left to do.

Our vision is to create Eldership in Australia by 2020.
By "create Eldership", we mean that Eldership is healthy, functional, recognisable in all aspects of our culture and making a genuine contribution to the way we live.
We think this can happen if hundreds of locally-generated Eldership projects spring up all over the country and slowly take effect. (And we think this is better than having one body or agency driving it and one definition of Eldership).
We're defining an "eldership project" as any initiative that draws on the Eldership qualities of older people and actively applies them.
This website has several purposes:
- To offer some ideas about the qualities and roles of Elders and encourage further discussion
- To show you how other people's Eldership projects are working
- To inspire you to create your own Eldership project
- To support you if you choose to do so
- To network the people who are driving the projects – for encouragement, support and ideas
- To connect projects with resources
- To be a contact point for the media
The Eldership Project website and this vision come from Andrew Horabin and Janet Foreman at Horabin Company. The content of this website comes from hundreds of contributors, to whom we're grateful.
Contact: email@example.com

The Eldership Project website is full of resources to help you run your project.

Singer Niall Horan has denied he's followed in the footsteps of his One Direction bandmates and got a tattoo.
The Irish star is the only member of the boyband who has not indulged in body art, with Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne boasting several inkings.
Rumors recently circled that the star had initiated himself into the tattoo-loving clan with a cheeky design on his butt, but Horan insists the reports are false.
On his Twitter.com page, he writes, "Gettin (sic) a lot tweets about tattoos! I didn't get a tattoo! Not plannin (sic) on gettin one for a while either haha."
The star revealed last year (12) he came close to getting 'Made in Ireland' tattooed on his butt, but the artist in Los Angeles refused to do it.

Diners at the Wishbone restaurant applaud Oprah as she announces that her show will end next year. (Alex Garcia/Chicago Tribune)

"Why walk away?" she said at the end of her show. "Here is the real reason. I love this show, this show has been my life, and I love it enough to know when it's time to leave."

One more time before …
Let's back up a handful of years.
At that point, me and TheWife™ had been married for going on ten years and were living out here in the country in our big 'ole house, working and taking care of my parents (read: just make sure they eat enough, remember their doctor's appointments, and get out of the house once in a while). There were good days and bad, just like everybody else. Before we had moved out here, there we other family storms that made our then current state of things seem like a relative calm … which it was.
But then my mom got sick with what at first seemed like some sort of infection, which turned out to be a recurrence of uterine cancer. There was no cure, though there was some hope that chemotherapy might help. The reality was that the disease never gave her a chance to make it that far. In those short three months (which somehow seemed like both 3 days and 3 years), we found out what they mean when they say that somebody dies from "complications due to cancer."
When there were a handful of weeks left to go, there were visits from various friends and relatives. One night after my dear in-laws said their goodbyes to JoAnna, they took us out to dinner. I can't remember the exact details now, but something had been left in Mom's hospital room. We swung by after leaving the restaurant and TheWife™ went in to retrieve the item. She came out in tears, not because of anything in particular, but just that sometimes the enormity of the situation can just suddenly overwhelm you. She also said that when all of this was over, we were going to move away.
Several years have passed and "all of this" is indeed over. Until recently, there were no plans. We've been so busy with work that there has been no time to put the future in focus. This past spring was the first chance we had to take a real vacation. Despite nearly two weeks of non-stop rain, it felt very good. But it felt like something else. It felt like home. And when we left, it hurt. I don't mean this in a whiny, oh-gee-this-is-so-beautiful-I-don't-want-to-leave kind of way. No, we really felt like we belonged. It was an odd, but not unexpected feeling. But what to do about it?
Well TheWife™, who is a teacher by trade, saw an opening at a local school. It looked great. It also didn't work out. But then there was one more avenue to explore. As usual, her application was met with silence, which is sort of what we've come to expect. But then there was a phone call, and a frantic trip for an interview, and … a job offer. Stunning. A writer friend of mine recently said that she was tired of just taking the cards she'd been dealt. Yeah, so were we.
I've reported often on our trips to the coast of Maine. Not too long ago, as we crossed the border into the state, I said that someday it would be nice to be heading home when we crossed that line. So no more vacations on the coast of Maine … because we'll be living there. Home.

"(Published in 1977) The Learning Exchange was started in the early 1970's out of a series of seminars at Ivan Illich's center in Mexico. This document is an explanation of "what it is, how it works, and how you can set up a similar program in your community." It is a fascinating handbook that describes an educational model, but also acts as a more general resource for administration, advertising, fundraising, etc.
To keep the file size down, I cut out the 92 page appendix, which consists of lots of correspondences, articles, interviews, and so on, which provide a broader perspective of the phenomenon of the Learning Exchange, which acts as a precedent for contemporary social networks in general and The Public School (LA) in particular."

American Soft
Chris Staples
American Soft
Release Date: 8/12/2014
LIST PRICE: $16.99 (you save $1.02)
Staples wrote portions of American Soft while squatting in his abandoned childhood home, a Pensacola, FL bungalow empty save for an old piano. "I slept on a Coleman cot for two months. The yard was overgrown up to my waist," Staples remembers. "The neighbor lady across the street used to babysit me. I ran into her one day and she didn't even recognize me. I hadn't seen her in 15 years."American Soft's musical ideas are at once diverse and cohesive, the lyrics both direct and lushly impressionistic. Staples' songs are, in the tradition of the best songwriters, fantastically economical. No moment is wasted, no idea indulged beyond necessity. Instrumental breaks occur but don't linger, serving their purpose and slipping quickly back into verses. American Soft features only a single traditional bridge, on the straight-ahead almost-rocker "Needle Park," which finishes with a short dual-guitar explosion, an explosion which ends suddenly, as suddenly as it began, a fleeting moment leaves us wanting more, always more, in the best way. Chris Staples has devoted the whole of his life to fostering that illusive magic, to passing it on, to giving and giving 'til it's all gone. Fortunately for us, he's only just begun.

'Magic Under Glass' is a pretty good book. There is a sensuality to the writing that lures you in and keeps you addicted after each page. The author chooses her words carefully and precisely in order to create a world that you can almost reach out and touch. The characters are awesome and the plot is strong and flowed great. There is a tad bit of "Fallen" syndrome in this book, hence the four stars, but that is the only thing that wasn't great.

^Foreigners' in Assam and Assamese Middle Class
IT is about a year now since the movement in Assam against the presence of "foreign nationals" and the inclusion of their names in the voters' list was launched. Deletion of their names from the voters' list and their immediate deportation to their original homeland are the main planks of the organizers of this movement. Hundreds have been killed and many more rendered homeless in the movement. Carnage, pillage and devastation engulfed North Kamrup for days together in the month of January 1980. Election to the seventh Lok Sabha from the Assam Valley could not be held. Of the 14 Lok Sabha seats in Assam, elections could be held only in two constituencies—Karimganj and Silchar. For one seat, Barpeta, four candidates filed nominations. The nomination paper ofAbida Ahmed (wife of the former President of India, Fakhr-uddin Ali Ahmcd, and a candidate of the Congress led by Indira Gandhi) was cancelled by the returning officer. With the cancellation of her nomination paper, other three candidates withdrew from the fray as their main intention was "not to allow Mrs. Ahmed go uncontcsted". In the other 11 constituencies, nominees of various political parties could not file nomination papers as they were confined to their residences or party offices for days together by the agitators.
The President's rule was proclaimed in Assam on 12 December 1979, and the Assembly was put "under animated suspension". In the wake of large-scale violence, North Kamrup was declared a "disturbed area" and the Army put on the alert. But for their intervention, the crudest of genocide, the like of which Assam has witnessed only once before in the hands of the Burmese in 1816-1826, would have been perpetrated.
The movement was started under the joint leadership of the All Assam Students Union (AASU), All Assam Gana Sangram Parishad (AAGSP), Purbanchalia Lok Parished (PLP) and the

Allegany County officials have asked local lawmakers to "oppose any attempt to institute components of the PlanMaryland initiative. The implementation of PlanMaryland in its present form- according to the commissioners- represents significant threats to local autonomy and to the economic future for jurisdictions outside the Baltimore-Washington corridor. The county has joined other rural jurisdictions in forming the Maryland Rural Counties Coalition. It includes Allegany, Carroll, Frederick and Washington counties, although other rural counties have expressed interest in joining. At its Tuesday work session the commissioners heard a presentation from its planning department- outlining specific concerns about PlanMaryland and the adverse effects it could have on the region. Commissioners President Mike McKay said this is clearly an attempt at control, rather than environmental safeguards….

Is it "The Blues" or Clinical Depression?
As the old song says, "everybody gets the blues sometimes." Feeling sad, upset or overwhelmed at times is normal, especially during the more difficult moments in life. Physical illness, the death of a loved one, family problems, or any other major loss can leave us feeling vulnerable and alone. However, normally these feelings pass and we find the strength to go on with our lives.
Clinical depression is different. Although it may feel similar to "the blues," depression is a sense of sadness or hopelessness that just won't go away and, in many cases, seriously interferes with day- to-day living. Contrary to what some people may think, depression is not a character flaw or a sign of weakness. It is a medical condition that can affect anyone. In fact, today more than 19 million Americans suffer from depression.
The good news is that depression is highly treatable. Nearly 80 to 90 percent of people with depression will respond well to treatment, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. The bad news is that many people suffering from depression do not seek help and consequently do not receive the care they need.
What Causes Depression?
No one knows for sure why some people cross the line from simply feeling "blue" to becoming depressed. Some of the most common causes may be a genetic predisposition, physical changes like menopause, a catastrophic life event, a severe illness, or even an adverse drug reaction. Depression may also result from too much stress - pressures from family responsibilities, financial problems, or separation from a loved one. Finally, depression may be the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain that may be treatable with medication.
Depression in Seniors
Because they are often faced with severe changes and adjustments in their lives, seniors are one of the highest risk groups for depression. Sixty-five percent of older adults suffer from some form of the condition. Disability, death of friends and relatives, loneliness, loss of independence, or the sense that life is drawing to a close, may leave even the strongest senior feeling depressed and even suicidal. In addition to the normal process of aging, conditions like Parkinson's disease, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and thyroid dysfunction can hamper neurological function and result in depression. Certain medications that are prescribed more frequently to elderly patients may also have an adverse effect.
Chronic illness is another frequent cause of depression in seniors. Although it is normal to be upset when diagnosed with a serious or progressive illness, it should not become an obsession that interferes with the quality of a person's life. If left untreated, depression can actually exacerbate a chronic condition in several ways. It can weaken the immune system, intensify the perception of pain and other symptoms, and increase the likelihood of improper management of the illness. In extreme cases, it may even cause premature death.
Caregivers and Depression
When the debilitating physical or mental effects of aging or illness make it necessary for a parent or older relative to be cared for by a family member or friend, the ensuing stress can result in depression, which affects everyone involved. For the senior, depression usually stems from the loss of independence and the shame of needing to be "cared for" like a child. For the caregiver, it may result from a combination of family friction, the burden of providing round-the-clock attention, and even longstanding disagreements. For both, guilt, a loss of privacy, and a sense of the overall unfairness of the situation all tend to feed depression. These feelings are normal, understandable, and even predictable.
Dealing with Depression
In a stressful situation, the most important thing one can do is to acknowledge that there is a problem. Recognize that circumstances are difficult for everyone involved – the older relative, the caregiver, and all the other family members living at home. Accept the fact that everyone has had to make adjustments to accommodate what may feel like an "unnatural" situation. Counseling and other treatments may be necessary in order to open lines of communication, air feelings, and arrive at workable solutions.
Finding Relief
Fortunately, there are a growing number of community-based programs available that can help seniors get the care and socialization they need during a portion of each day. These programs also provide at-home caregivers with some needed time for themselves. For the older adult who is relatively mobile and not mentally impaired, senior centers offer opportunities for social interaction and stimulating recreational activities. Many communities even provide door-to-door transportation for seniors to and from these facilities. For seniors who are physically or cognitively disabled, there are also specialized adult day health care programs designed to take care of both their health management and social needs.
What Kinds of Treatments are Available?
If you or someone you love experiences symptoms of depression for more than a week or two, it is important to seek help immediately. See your family doctor who can refer you to a professional counselor or specialist who can help you get to the root of the problem. If the depression appears to stem from unresolved family or personal issues, your doctor may recommend psychiatric or crisis intervention counseling. If the cause is neurological, a variety of advanced medications are available that can be effective in relieving the symptoms of depression. Recent research has also shown that one of the most beneficial treatments for depression may be as simple as a program of regular exercise.
What are Some Warning Signs of Clinical Depression?
• Loss of interest or pleasure in your family life, hobbies, or sex life
• Difficulty concentrating or remembering things
• Low energy level
• Sleeplessness or sleeping too much
• Loss of appetite or overeating
• Unusual irritability
• Loss of self-esteem or an attitude of indifference
• Frequent or unexplainable crying spells
• Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide
Remember that depression is highly treatable. If you think you may be suffering from depression, the most important step to take is to see your physician. If you're currently in crisis or need immediate help with depression, please contact a support hotline, such as 1-800-784-2433 or 1-800-273-8255.

Caroline Hatton, PhD , a sports anti-doping science consultant, told in a Mar. 12, 2010 email that "A key concept in prohibited lists is that they avoid being finite. Instead of listing all banned drugs one by one, they list entire drug classes and name drugs merely as examples. This is to keep users who took designer drugs from claiming that they didn't break the rules because the drugs they took weren't listed."

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
Another birthday's coming up. Some special occasion. Or your preschooler just seems to be outgrowing too many of his toys -- too fast! You walk into the toy store, full of excitement. What's more fun than choosing a toy for a child? You scan, scan, scan the displays.
Thought bubble: Will this toy bring joy? Will my child learn from it? Will it last? Will it get lots of play time for a long time, or wind up in the forgotten-toys-basket? Will I find it scattered across the floor in a million pieces every night and curse the day I bought it? Oh yes, and might it expose my child to toxic chemicals, and did its manufacture contribute to the impending demise of our planet?
Time to take a breath, step out of the store, and have a look at some of these lovely web sites offering eco-friendly toys that are just as smart and fun and charming as we could wish.
Thought bubble: Being savvy and being green? Easy peasy!
Oompa Toys - A superb web site with hundreds of European and American toys made from eco-friendly, non-toxic materials. We love the layout of the site because it allows easy searches by theme, age, brand, or country of origin. They have a rewards program, blog, and wishlist. Our wishlist is long indeed. Pictured: a wooden ice cream cone from Haba. Adorbs!Child Trek - Another site that offers very lovely, natural, eco-friendly, educational toys. What sets it apart, for us, are a series of quite thoughtful articles on child development that introduce different sections of the site. Any toy site that asks us to stop and think for a moment before clicking on the next purchase has our vote. Pictured: the miYim organic musical owl. So sweet.
Little Alouette - These toys are handmade by a family in Ohio by hand using locally sourced hardwoods. They are organic and are frequently buffed without the use of finishes -- when a finish is used, it's certified organic flax seed. These are heirloom toys that are completely safe and encourage a child's creativity. Pictured: Billy the Fish teething toy. Love!
Maple Landmark Woodcraft - A 30-person , Vermont-based company makes the wooden toys found here from local components with natural finishes. The company has recycled since its inception, giving scrap wood as kindling and wood shavings to local farmers for animal bedding. Pictured: Natural Scoot, Recycling Team. Perfect.
Another great site for safe, eco-friendly and cute toys/gifts for babies and beyond: http://www.peekagreen.com
This is a perfect list. And am glad to see that there's a marketing trend going towards "greener" products for our children to play with. If you stop and think about it - it's really about going back to the basics - wooden toys and all things soft and natural. Who says flashing lights and plastic toys will teach our kids any better? It's all in the play itself and how fun we make it for our children - giving them the space to grow, imagine and create!
Thanks for the links! My problem is I'm not organized enough to plan ahead for the inevitable birthday parties and stock up on gifts that can be used in a pinch. Seems like this might be a good place to start shopping.

NSW Police have launched a strike force into alleged match-fixing in the NRL, a bombshell for the league on the eve of the finals series.
Dozens of players, officials and members of the community are expected to be interviews in coming months, with police warning the investigation is expected to be "protracted".
The news comes after NSW Police revealed in June that they were examining information relating to alleged fixing, before determining whether to take the matters further.
"The NSW Police Force has launched an investigation following a review of information into reported cheating at gambling and match-fixing in the National Rugby League," a police media statement read on Wednesday.
"Detectives from the state crime command's organised crime squad have launched strike force Nuralda to investigate the matters and determine if any criminal offences have been committed."
The NRL has confirmed they will support the investigation, providing any required assistance.
"We are not going to pre-judge any person associated with the game while this process is underway," NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said.
"But I repeat my earlier warning that if any person is convicted of match fixing they will face a life ban from any involvement in rugby league."
Reports in June linked two Manly games, one against South Sydney and the other Parramatta, to investigations.
A third Sea Eagles match, against Parramatta from this season, was later reportedly linked.

Hand Coloured - 1986
It was the early eighties and I was completely enthralled with the work of such luminary female photographers as Imogen Cunningham, Deborah Turbeville and Sarah Moon. On sabbatical from my the newspaper, where I had worked for ten years as fashion editor and photographer, I seized this opportunity to create what I had hoped would be my first solo exhibition. It was an intense and exciting time involving all the hopes and dreams of a fledgling artist. Carrying my 35mm camera, flash equipment and a portable generator I embarked on a personal journey. Listening to my heart I created semi-autobiographical vignettes. These pictures tell tales. Some are sad, some are funny and more than a few are strange.

1. Who has the honor to talk to us? State your name, rank and occupation!
My name is Steve Fawkner. I run the game studio, Infinite Interactive. I'm the lead designer of Warlords IV.
2. What was/is your involvement in the development of Warlords IV, how many people are on the team?
SF : I've been designing the Warlords games ever since Warlords 1 back in 1990. In those days I was a one-man-team, now things have grown a bit, and with Warlords IV, we have a team of 10 people (though it was probably around 20 people when we were doing the bulk of the artwork).
3. Give us a little background information on the Warlords IV game story.
SF : One of the most cataclysmic events in the history of the Warlords world of Etheria was a disaster known as the Sundering. A Dark Elven mage messed with powers beyond his control, and the result was a series of earthquakes that almost destroyed the world. Now, somebody is messing with those powers again….
4. What is the current status of Warlords IV? Any idea on when it will be released?
SF : We've just entered beta-testing. The game should be out early in the fourth quarter this year.
5. From SSG to Infinite Interactive, have there been any changes to the game concept after the SSG demise, new developer, and ending up with Ubisoft? What happened there? Does the development team still consist of the same people?
SF : SSG was always split into two offices, 500 miles apart. I ran the Melbourne office – we were concentrating at first on Warlords 1-3 and then later on the Warlords Battlecry RTS games - while Warlords IV was being developed out of the Sydney office, along with Reach for the Stars and Ardennes Offensive.
It was decided that the best thing would be to split into two separate companies, with the Melbourne office (now Infinite Interactive) taking control of the Warlords series, leaving Sydney free to work on the historical military games they enjoy.
When we took over the Warlords IV project, we stripped it right back and started again with a fresh approach.
6. Warlord IV looks quite similar to Warlords Battle Cry II. Have you used the same graphics engine and just modified it, or is it a totally new engine?
SF : It's a completely new graphics engine – a hybrid of 2d and 3d. All of the effects and lighting and terrain in the game are done with 3d, while the characters are all based off 2d sprites.
7. Will we see any of Warlords Battle Cry II units in Warlords IV? Will you be able to import your Warlords Battle Cry II hero in Warlords IV?
SF : There will definitely be some familiar units, since its set in the same world after all! The units in Warlords IV are all upgradeable though… so there might be a familiar-looking Dwarven axeman, but when he gains a couple of levels, he gets lots of armor and a bigger axe which makes him look totally new.
Although there will be no possibility of importing characters between Warlords & Battlecry, in our next incarnation of Warlords games, we will give careful consideration to this.
8. Why did you scale back the number of races you can be?
SF : We actually increased the number!
The original Warlords IV design only had 6 races. We now have 10 races.
9. Will Warlords IV come with an editor as Battle Cry II did?
SF : Yes – we will include a full scenario editor.
10. Warlords will be turn-based, correct? Why did you implement this style of gameplay?
SF : Turn-based gameplay is traditional for the Warlords series, and although I'm also a big fan of RTS games, I must admit to also enjoying the chance to sit back and plan my strategy in turn-based game.
11. What multiplayer options will there be? Will you still have complete control over the game settings, as shown in Battle Cry II?
SF : As usual we have lots of options including a full random map generator. We have tried to include everything for multiplayer (including play by email & hotseat play), by allowing players to go through the campaign in a cooperative mode. This has proved great fun so far.
12. Can you elaborate on the new "Tactical Battles" in the combat system?
SF : Because a Warlords game has literally hundreds of battles in the course of one scenario, it was necessary to invent a new, faster, way to resolve tactical battles (if we were going to add them). Our new system (STS – Speed Tactical System) has the feel of a Collectible Card Game, where players choose which troops to commit to a battle in which order. The interplay of special abilities in the game makes this a tactician's dream.
13. Will there be adjustable difficulty settings for the AI?
SF : Currently we have 4 levels of AI. I've only beaten the top level once so far – it's pretty tough!
14. Will the unit class and profession system return in Warlords IV?
SF : No – we have a brand new system.
When you create your persistent Warlord, you choose two abilities from the following list: Combat, Divine Magic, Nature Magic, Runes, Summoning & Necromancy. You can even choose the same one twice if you REALLY want to specialize. These two choices determine your class and will influence the way you play the game.
Stay tuned! Next week, we will have part 2 ....

For over a century the ringing of three large bells at St Mary Church could be heard for miles around the Grove area from May of 1895 and later, after they were moved from the old church on February 15, 1954 to the new church at 307 East Mesa Avenue, until now.
There are three cast-bronze bells, as opposed to steel bells. The largest, a three-foot bell is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin; the middle one, a 30-inch bell, is dedicated to St. Joseph. The smallest one is two feet and dedicated to St. Anthony.
The Bells have recently been silenced due to safety problems in the belfry. Restoration is costly and there is hope the bells will ring again.

Authorities investigate explosion in Farmington
Meg Hilling
October 05, 2017 05:39 PM
FARMINGTON, N.M. -- There are still many questions surrounding an explosion in the Four Corners near a family practitioner's office early Tuesday morning.
Law enforcement officers believe the detonation of a modified gas cylinder is responsible for the explosion. No injuries were reported, but a shed did sustain some damage. There are some holes from the blast as well as a blast mark extending up the wall of the shed.
"Our bomb unit came out, investigated it, collected evidence," said Georgette Allen, a spokesperson for the Farmington Police Department. "And so at this point, it is an ongoing investigation and we are asking the public for assistance if anybody saw anything or hears anything to give us a call [at (505) 599-1070] or call Crime Stoppers [at (505) 334-8477]."
Authorities are now looking to surrounding businesses with security footage with the hope of finding clues. While Dr. Dan Dunn cannot think of anyone that would want to cause him or his practice any harm, he would like some answers.
"If somebody does have something against me, I would like to know about," he said. "I would like them to come talk to me face to face."

The Serpent River First Nation is part of the unceded lands retained by the Ojibway who traditionally inhabited the North Shores of the St. Mary's River and the Georgian Bay, of Northern Ontario Great Lakes Region. The Serpent River First Nation is part of the Robinson Huron Treaty which was signed on September 5th, 1850.
The Serpent River First Nation is also known as Genaabaajiing or Cutler or in the recent past as Kenabutch [sic]. For the past three decades, traditionalists have preferred the Ojibway titles as Genaabaajing and Chi Gebebek Ziibibg Anishnabek.
The reserve has always been a relatively small community; however, recent years have showed a rapid development of community infrastructure and community services. In addition, the on-reserve population has shown a definite increase.
The Serpent River First Nation is located approximately 160 kilometers east of Sault Ste. Marie or approximately 140 kilometers west of Sudbury. It is located 30 kilometers east of the Town of Blind River on the Trans- Canada Highway 17. Two small communities flank the community: The Town of Spanish to the east and the Township of the Northshore (Serpent River) to the west. Serpent River First Nations is a twenty-minute drive from the retirement (nee mining) community of Elliot Lake. It is also bounded by the Serpent River and Grassy Lake to the north, Whalesback Channel and Lake Huron to the south and west.
The reserve consists of a land base of 26,947 acres along the north shore of Georgian Bay. It is located on the Precambrian Shield and consists primarily of outcropping igneous and metamorphic rock containing large areas of granite. This type of steeply rolling topography and its effects on groundwater limits the types and locations of developments in the community. Mining, Forestry and Commercial Fishing have been the main employment areas.
The residents are of the Ojibway Nation and have traditionally always inhabited the area. They continue to use the Ojibway language and pursue traditional ways.
The total population as of January 2013 is 1,300 members of which 371 live on reserve and 863 band members live off reserve. The large number of band members living off reserve is due to the number of reinstated registered members under the Bill C-31 process of 1985. There are 160 households.
