Two of the nine dishes sampled by folks attending the 1993 Fall Food Festival at Peaceable Kingdom School proved especially popular, though all have earned plaudits for Zenaida Alejandro, the school's food and beverage manager. Zenaida credits her mother, Martina, the school's head gardener, for the Cactus Shrimp Soup recipe. For the Rose Petal Pound Cake, the school's extensive rose garden yields the petals. Festival-goers also enjoyed Zenaida's way with such dishes as Day Lily Soup, Wild Greens Salad with Edible Flowers, Yaupon Coffee, Pickled Purslane, Herb Bread, Herbal Iced Tea, and Cilantro Pesto.

The Rio 2016 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony was held at Rio's legendary Maracana Stadium, built for the 1950 World Cup. One of Rio's oldest 'favelas,' or informal communities, Mangueira stands on a hillside above the stadium. In Rio the striking gaps between rich and poor are often clearly visible, with 'favela' communities located alongside wealthier neighborhoods.
We felt it was important to register life outside of the stadium at the moment the fireworks were lit, given the economic and political situation in the country.
I was invited to photograph the fireworks from the rooftop of a Mangueira resident's home. The view was spectacular, but the warmth and hospitality of the people from Mangueira was much more memorable. I was welcomed with open arms and I won't forget how kind and welcoming the folks of the community were. I have been there several times now and the community remains an incredibly strong historic and cultural anchor of Rio, in spite of serious problems including poverty, gang and police violence.Visit Getty Images for up-to-the-minute coverage of Rio 2016 and follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat for live Olympic updates

"Source:See, I wouldn't lie to you.
#Dodgers moving toward a one-year deal with left-hander J.P. Howell. Contract still hasn't been finalized."
Buster Olney went one step further.
"J.P. Howell agreed to terms with the Dodgers. A left-hander for a very deep bullpen."and
"Howell gets a one-year deal with LAD, for just under $3 million in base salary, and performance bonuses."This is a minor move for the Dodgers. It's decent, but not a move that's going to put them over the proverbial hump.
Howell isn't a flamethrower by any means, as his fastball averages 85.2 MPH for his career. He also uses a high-70s curveball and changeup. His change might be his best pitch.
Howell, 29, was drafted in the first round of the 2004 MLB Draft by the Kansas City Royals. He spent one season with the Royals, posting a 6.19 ERA in 15 starts. He was traded to the-then Devil Rays in 2006. The Rays tried him as a starter for parts of two seasons, making 18 starts and struggling (6.46 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, 11.7 H/9, 1.2 HR/9).
Tampa moved him to the bullpen in 2008, and he flourished. He posted a 2.22 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 9.3 K/9 and 3.39 FIP in 89 1/3 innings. He was the Rays' closer for a portion of 2009, posting 17 saves and similar numbers to his '08 campaign.
However, a balky shoulder ended his 2010 season before it began. He pitched poorly in 2011 (like, 2005-07 poorly) in his first season back. He had a decent 2012, but his FIP was an alarming 4.78 because he gave up seven home runs in 50 1/3 innings. He's also WAR'd -0.5 and -0.3 the last two seasons, which is never a good thing.
When healthy, Howell can be an asset out of the bullpen. He posted a 9.9 K/9 prior to the surgery and, while walks were a problem (4.2 BB/9), he was still a weapon out of the Rays' bullpen. But if his last 81 innings are any indication, that Howell may never resurface.
His splits are pretty similar for his career against lefties and righties, but it's no surprise to see his OPS nearly 75 points higher against righties.
This signing means one of two things:
- The Dodgers aren't sold on Paco Rodriguez being the primary lefty out of the 'pen
- The Dodgers aren't convinced Scott Elbert is going to be 100 percent to start the season
If Howell can regain any of that 2008-09 magic, this could be a really good signing for the Dodgers. Until he does (if he does), he's just another lefty who breathes and can throw a baseball adequately well.

Perth, WA (PRWEB) January 10, 2013
Perth web development company Anahata Technologies Pty Ltd announced it will be defaulting to Java EE 6 for enterprise application development. Robert Nagajek, Director and Technical Lead of Anahata, explains this decision: "Java EE 6 for web application development provides significant features for developing client server and web applications with minimal glue code. Core features such as CDI, EJB and JPA allow creating applications quickly with lean and well structured code that is easy to maintain and comprehend."
Features such as singletons, timed beans and asynchronous calls allow for advanced client server and web applications with minimal glue code required. Frameworks such as Lombok allow for code generation to further reduce code size and improve code comprehension, which software companies find extremely useful.
The use of CDI facilitates a domain driven approach and powerful inversion of control for flexible implementations. Built in security features allow declarative security for an application. Third party UI frameworks such as primefaces for web applications allow for easy and quick creation of rich user interfaces.
About Java
Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented computer programming language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning that code that runs on one platform does not need to be recompiled to run on another.
About Java EE
The Java EE platform provides an API and runtime environment for developing and running enterprise software, including network and web services, and other large-scale, multi-tiered, scalable, reliable, and secure network applications. Java EE extends the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE), providing an API for object-relational mapping, distributed and multi-tier architectures, and web services. The platform incorporates a design based largely on modular components running on an application server.
About Anahata Technologies Pty Ltd (as below)
Founded in 2010, Anahata Technologies Pty Ltd is a Western Australia privately owned application development consultancy specializing in the analysis, design, implementation and support of cost-effective, custom built software applications.
Anahata's preferred delivery approach is an iterative, customer centric software development process where business analysts visit customer premises to gather requirements, outline the current business processes and design an improved flow. Once the system requirements are complete, a continuous integration development process allows customers to test the application regularly as it is being built.

Cuban Crafters Contraband Doble Corona cigars are naturally sweet, creamy and full of flavor. After smoking this delightful Doble Corona you will believe that it's a contraband cigar from Cuba, but we assure you that it just tastes that way. Cuban Crafters Contraband Doble Corona is a handcrafted Puro produced with extensively aged Cuban-seed Habano tobacco from Nicaragua. The premium wrapper is a natural Cuban-seed Habano Criollo leaf and so is the binder. The opulent long-filler is a combination of extremely aged and flavorful Cuban-seed Habano from Esteli and the Jalapa Valley of Nicaragua.
They are hand made the same old-fashioned way as the finest cigars from Cuba. They have a pigtail cap, a folded foot and perfect construction. Contraband is for the sophisticated cigar smoker who knows quality and expects it from every single cigar. These medium to full bodied works of art provide smooth, opulent notes of sweet cream, mild baking spices, nuts and floral undetones. Doble Corona is 7 inches long with a ring gauge of 54. 20 cigars come in a wood box.
When we created these cigars, after tasting this savory blend of extensively aged tobaccos, we kept getting the same remark from all those who smoked the samples, "...is this a contraband cigar from Cuba?" While it took years to age the tobacco, and to blend it to perfection, we still did not have a name for them. Just about everyone who had smoked the samples kept calling and asking us if the "contraband" Cuban cigars are for sale. That convinced us to name them CONTRABAND. Don't think it was easy. Our own trademark lawyer, after smoking one, called us to be reassured that these cigars were in-fact not contraband cigars from Cuba. Even the attorney from the United States Patent and Trademark Office requested that we submit a statement swearing that they are not Cuban contraband.
Made with a special blend of aged Cuban-seed tobacco, Cuban Crafters Contraband will also have you convinced. They come in boxes of 20 cigars and are backed by our full satisfaction money-back guarantee. Try one cigar from the box and if they do not become your favorite, send the rest back for a full refund. Since Contraband is made in small batches and in limited quantities, we may not always have them in stock.

Star Entertainment
Mavado to star in Shottas 2
Hasani Walters, STAR Writer
We The Best Music Group's recording artiste Mavado has landed a role in the upcoming film, Shottas 2.
The sequel to the yardie-cultured Shottas, which starred Ky-Mani Marley and Spragga Benz, will see Mavado playing his first major acting role as well as Marley making a return to the big screen.
Shottas writer/director Cess Silvera will get to work again when shooting for the film begins in June.
Mavado's manager, Julian Jones-Griffith, told The STAR that several big name US rappers and actors, among them, Lil' Wayne and Chris Brown, have been vying for the part but Silvera wants to be true to 'Shottas' and not just include them for the sake of it.
"Cess Silvera reached out to me saying he has written a part for Shottas 2 that would be perfect for Mavado. It's a leading role and he believes Mavado can bring the realism and credibility to do the character justice. Cess thinks Mavado is the only person to really bring it to life and make it believable," said Griffith.
He went on to say that Silvera is a big fan of Mavado's music and he (Silvera) thinks Mavado has a strong visual and cinematic presence - something borne out in Drake's Find Your Love music video.
Silvera confirmed via Twitter that Mavado is indeed included in the cast. A comment from him mentioned that the sequel is chock-full of surprises.
"We got a couple of characters and actors that we have to keep secret and are gonna surprise everyone! Shottas 2 is gonna make the first movie look like child's play!" it read.
Mavado told The STAR that he is overwhelmed that he was even considered to be included in the sequel to the cult classic.
"I've had a few offers for movies that we have turned down, but I couldn't pass on being a part of Shottas 2. Just like everyone else I am a huge fan of the first movie so it's an honour to be a part of the production. When my manager told me Cess reached out to him I felt blessed. Acting is another way for me to express myself as an artiste so I'm really looking forward to it and will do my best to bring the character to life and make people believe in it. Shottas is such an iconic movie and brand so to be a part of the second one is going to be a great part of my legacy as an artiste," said Mavado.
He compared its mass market appeal to the 1972 Harder They Come saying that it Shottas has crossed many different generations and cultures.
His fans will surely be excited and Mavado does not plan to disappoint.
"Fans can expect what they always get from me - keeping it real. The character I am playing is gritty as you would expect so I will be bringing it to life as real as I know how," he said.
Confident that with the help of Silvera he can bring his character to life on the big screen, he told The STAR that he is comfortable with his role and will do his best while learning from the professionals.
"Yes, I am going to embrace the role and with the direction of Cess I'm confident I can bring it to life on the big screen. It's my first big role so there is a lot to learn but Cess and the team are very experienced and will help bring out the best in me. Cess says as long as I am being myself then I will do a great job!" he said.

Advance Australia Fair!
Australians first made their debut in the Tour de France as early as 1914. Don Kirkham and Ivor (Iddo Snowy) Munro, having already competed in the Milan San Remo, finished a very creditable 17th and 20th respectively. However the horror of the 1st World War curtailed Australian participation until 1928 when the endurance cycling legend Hubert Opperman competed with the Ravat-Wonder Dunlop team which consisted of Opperman, Osbourne, Bainbridge and the new Zealand rider Harry Watson.
Oppermann finished in 18th spot and in 1931 returned to compete in the race with an Australian/Swiss team finishing 12th. Later the same year Oppermann was hailed as the world's greatest endurance cyclist when he defeated the cream of European endurance riders in the Paris-Brest-Paris over 1186 kilometres, setting a new course record of 24.012 km/h. It took Oppermann 49 hours 23 minutes and 30 seconds to complete the race winning from a 5 man leading group. The victory won Oppermann great fame and acclaim with 'Le Journal' being typical as describing him as 'a marvellous dynamo of human energy'.
However Oppermann chose not to ride the Tour again, concentrating on his speciality, endurance racing. In 1934, for example he travelled to England with the set purpose of attacking English National road records. Within 14 days he had broken five records in two great rides, setting a new 24 hour mileage record of 431.5 miles, and covering 1000 miles in 3 days 1 hour and 52 minutes.
Oppermanns legend was assured and to this day old timers still refer to musettes as Oppy bags, since the Australian is credited with inventing them.
However, for the next 50 years Australia had only 3 riders compete in the Tour de France, but in 1981 Phil Anderson burst into the limelight.
Anderson became the first ever non-European to hold the yellow jersey, riding for the Peugeot Esso Michelin team. On stage 5 in the Pyrenees, which saw the riders climb the Peyresourde and finish on the Plat dAdet, Anderson showed his climbing skills to take third spot and the yellow jersey.
Here is how he described the day -
"It happened in the Pyrenees. This was my first Tour de France. I didn't have aspirations of becoming the wearer of the yellow jersey or anything like that. I was given my instructions and I was supposed to look after a rider on my team, the team leader, a Frenchman, and I forgot my instructions and just sort of went into survival mode over a number of mountain passes, just staying up with some of the top riders, and before I knew it, my team director came up beside me in his car and told me, 'Listen, what happened to your leader, the guy that you've been instructed to watch today?' you know. And to help if he has any troubles, or just pace him back if he's having some troubles. And I said, 'Oh gee, that's right. Where is he?' And he said, 'He's five or ten minutes back, in the next group.' I said, 'No worries, I'll wait up for him.' He said, 'No, no, stay up here, you're doing OK, just stay out of trouble and try and hang on as long as possible.'"
"So hang on I did, and whistled down the next mountain and got to the last climb and I stayed up with Bernard Hinault; there was one rider, a Belgian rider, Lucien van Impe, rode away, an excellent climber, he rode away and so we came in a couple of minutes later, but I had enough time from some good days previously, that I climbed into the yellow jersey, and I had no idea of what the sort of yellow jersey represented, because I mean there's so much history to it, and for me it was just like, 'Oh yes, great, I don't have to wash my old jersey tonight, you know, get a new one'. But really, you're sort of at the highest level of the sport."
Anderson went on to ride thirteen Tours, wear the yellow jersey for a further nine days win the best young riders jersey and had two stage wins.
While Oppermann is credited with feeding bags, Anderson also changed the face (quite literally) of the peloton, it was skippy (his nickname and a reference to the Australian TV series about a bush kangaroo) who popularised sunglasses amongst riders.
As the 1980s progressed, other Australian riders began to feature in the race: Alan Pieper (now a sporting director with Davitamon Lotto), Shane Sutton, Michael Wilson, Stephen Hodge and Neil Stephens all raised the profile of the sport and inspired increasing numbers of Australians to try to earn fame and glory on European roads.
In 1998 three Australians rode the race and Stuart OGrady wore the yellow jersey and won stage 14.
By 2003 the number was up to 7 riders with Baden Cooke winning stage 3 and the green jersey, Brad McGee winning the prologue and OGrady winning the Prize of the Centenaire.
In 2005 a record number of Australians will compete in the Tour de France, they are:
Ag2r: Simon Gerrans (VIC)
Quick Step: Michael Rogers (ACT)
Davitamon-Lotto: Cadel Evans (VIC), Robbie McEwen (QLD)
Francaise des Jeux: Brad McGee (NSW), Baden Cooke (VIC)
CSC: Luke Roberts (SA)
Cofidis: Stuart O'Grady (SA), Matt White (NSW)
Liberty: Allan Davis (QLD)
It is an interesting mix of riders, Robbie McEwen, Baden Cooke and Allan Davis will be competing for the sprints and the Green jersey.
Meanwhile Michael Rogers and Cadel Evans go into the race with hopes of a high General Classification. Rogers, who found himself short of team help in the Tour de Suisse when he was pipped at the post by Aitor Gonzalez, he will ride for a Quickstep team that is more geared to one day racing and helping Tom Boonen than solid backing for a General Classification place. Whereas Manolo Saiz of Liberty Seguros spent time with Patrick Lefevre at this year's Paris Roubaix, hoping to learn about one day racing, Lefevre, it would appear, has lost any ambitions for the Grand Tours. Having signed two big Tour prospects, Mercado and Pecharromán, both of whom have failed to deliver the goods so far, Lefevere has hinted that in 2006 he will concentrate on the style of races he knows best.
Rogers, double World Champion in the Time Trial, is considering his options for 2006 and has been linked with both T-Mobile and Cofidis.
For the time being however, Rogers will hope that Patrik Sinkewitz can provide him some cover in the high mountains and has more luck than last year when he crashed three times in the opening stages. His strategy will be to follow the trains of T-Mobile and the Discovery Channel and profit from other teams' work, a tactic that worked so well for Paolo Savoldelli in this year's Giro dItalia.
Quickstep for the Tour de France
Tom Boonen (Bel), Wilfried Cretskens (Bel), Kevin Hulsmans (Bel), Servais Knaven (Ned), Michael Rogers (Aus), Patrik Sinkewitz (Ger), Bram Tankink (Ned), Guido Trenti (Ita) and Stefano Zanini (Ita)
Meanwhile, former world mountain bike champion Cadel Evans is also looking for a high GC place. After two seasons plagued by injury and broken collar bones, Evans' 12th place overall in the Tour de Suisse would suggest he has made a full recovery from another, less serious, collar bone injury earlier in the season. The 28-year-old has missed the last two Tours after suffering collarbone injuries, but his non-selection by T-Mobile last year was one of the shocks of the 2004 season. Evans will have good support from riders like Axel Merckx and Mario Aerts, and it will be very interesting to see how Johan Van Summeren copes in his first Tour. Interestingly, Davitamon Lotto could have fielded four Australians in their squad but Nick Gates and Henk Vogels (on the comeback trail since his near fatal crash in the USA 18 months ago) were not selected. Meanwhile former BMX champ, the "Kangaroo of Brakel" Robbie McEwen, who has already had success in the Giro d'Italia and the Tour of Switzerland, must fancy his chances for the Green jersey.
Davitamon Lotto for the Tour de France
Mario Aerts (Bel), Christophe Brandt (Bel), Cadel Evans (Aus), Robbie McEwen (Aus), Axel Merckx (Bel),
Fred Rodriguez (Usa), Leon van Bon (Ned), Johan Van Summeren (Bel), Wim Vansevenant.
Brad McGee will also be hoping for a high GC finish and like Michael Rogers ,his fellow Australian team mate, Baden Cooke will also be hoping to do well in the Green Jersey competition. McGee was in good form in the Tour de Suisse, winning stage 3, but faded on the final day and finished 12th overall. The Olympic Team track pursuit Gold medal winner has been steadily improving in the high mountains and has an exciting team in support. With Sandy Casar, and the exciting Belgium talent Phillipe Gilbert as fellow team members, the strength of the FdJ team could be enough to see McGee be the highest placed Australian rider.

Sandy Casar (Fr), Baden Cooke (Aus), Carlos Da Cruz (Fra), Bernhard Eisel (Aut), Philippe Gilbert (Bel), Thomas Lövkvist (Swe), Bradley McGee (Aus),
Christophe Mengin (Fra), Francis Mourey (Fra).
Luke Roberts was also part of the Australian Olympic Track Team pursuit team which took Gold in Athens, and after a run of good performances he finally got the nod from Bjarne Riis to take the last place in Bassos Tour de France team. Roberts will ride entirely in support of Ivan Basso and the 28 year old's Tour debut will be more about protection and water carrying than individual glory.
CSC Tour de France Team
Ivan Basso (Ita), Kurt-Asle Arvesen (Nor), Bobby Julich (Usa), Giovanni Lombardi (Ita), Luke Roberts (Aus), Carlos Sastre Candil (Spa), Nicki Sørensen (Den), Jens Voigt (Ger), David Zabriskie (USA).
Stuart OGrady has had a long and successful career since he first struck Gold in the Commonwealth Games in 1994. He made his Tour debut in 1997, and has worn both the yellow and green jerseys in the race. In stark contrast, Matt White while riding with teammates, hit a TV cable and crashed breaking his collar bone just hours before last year's Tour was about to set off. The Cofidis Australian duo will be hoping for better luck in 2005.

Stéphane Augé (Fra), Frédéric Bessy (Fra), Sylvain Chavanel (Fra), Thierry Marichal (Bel), David Moncoutié (Fra), Stuart OGrady (Aus), Janek Tombak (Est), Cédric Vasseur (Fra), Matthew White (Aus).
Allan Davis seems to have been around a long time yet the Liberty Seguros rider is still only 24 years old. Building on last year's successful season, Davis has scored two victories in the Vuelta a Murcia and a stage and points classification in the Vuelta a Aragon so far this season. You dont often see kangaroos in the Basque Country, but Allan Davis is an exception. He has lived in Oiartzun for the past two and a half years. He arrived here from Italy, after 5 years, where the Australians have an amateur cyclist development program. He will be looking forward to his second Tour and will be hoping to leave his mark.

Wild card team AG2R have picked their own wild card in the shape of Simon Gerrans. The 25 year old in his first full year as a pro has had a cracking debut season winning the Tour du Finistère in April. It is unusual for a first year pro to ride the Tour de France, but Gerrans may still be unkown enough to slip away with a successful break away.

It's not the kind of thing you generally discuss in the company of others, and perhaps that is why so many women suffer from pelvic floor prolapse without knowing that there are treatment options available.
Pelvic floor prolapse is a condition in which the pelvic organs herniate (become displaced) through the vagina—hence the reason you probably won't think about discussing it at your next lunch date with friends—and can range from something you don't notice at all to something that is bothersome, painful and may be putting you at risk for other health complications.
"A lot of people don't talk about this," said Dr. Audra Hill, an assistant professor in the Division of Urogynecology at University of Utah Health. According to Hill, many women believe that symptoms often associated with pelvic floor prolapse — such as urinary leakage or a bulge in the area of the vagina — are completely normal and that it's the price you pay for getting older or having children.
"It is common, and some consider it to be normal," Hill said, "but you don't have to live with it. I find a lot of times people have no idea that something could actually be done to help these problems."
One of the biggest challenges with raising awareness about pelvic floor prolapse is that there is no specific event or risk factor that causes it.
"There are a lot of risk factors that can go into prolapse, such as having children, being older, being overweight, being certain races—Caucasians have a higher incidence—as well as chronic constipation and genetics," said Hill.
However, just because you have one or more of these risk factors doesn't necessarily mean you will suffer from pelvic floor herniation. On the flip side, someone with absolutely no risks factors can suffer from this condition.
For most women, the first sign that there might be a problem is feeling a bulge down in the vaginal area. It feels like sitting on an egg or a golf ball, Hill said. For some, it's a painful sensation; for others, it's just bothersome. Additionally, urinary leakage can occur at the same time as vaginal prolapse , although you can have leakage without prolapse and vice versa.
"The good thing about prolapse is that it's a quality of life problem — it's not life-threatening," said Hill. That leaves a lot of options for treatment, and treatment plans can be tailored to each patient based on how much or how little it bothers her—including the option to do nothing and monitor it to see if it gets worse over time.
On the less-invasive side, patients can opt for non-surgical treatments such as pelvic floor physical therapy, a process in which the patient works with a trained women's health pelvic floor physical therapist who helps her identify the Kegel muscles and prescribes an exercise regimen to strengthen these muscles, which can help improve the sensation of bulging.
"It usually entails maybe two or three visits with the physical therapist but then a lot of self-work doing their personal muscle regimen," said Hill. A physical therapy program usually lasts about three months with regular checkups to see if it's helping relieve pressure and symptoms.
If the exercises alone aren't enough, patients can opt for a pessary, a plastic ring-shaped device that you insert into the vagina (similar to a tampon) that will support and hold things up down there. There are various pessary shapes and sizes, including ones that are inserted and remain in for several months to those that a patient can insert and remove on her own.
For the most extreme cases, surgery may be required, but that generally only occurs when the prolapse is extremely bothersome. Additionally, if the prolapse is severe enough that it's impacting kidney function, impeding the ability to urinate normally, or causing sores to appear on the skin around the vagina, surgery is usually recommended
If you've noticed symptoms of pelvic floor prolapse, it's a good idea to bring up your symptoms in a discussion with your primary care provider or gynecologist. Often a primary care provider will refer you to a specialist, either a gynecologist or a urogynecologist. Some gynecologists who have experience with this condition feel comfortable treating pelvic floor prolapse, while others will refer you to a trained urogynecologist who has additional training in diagnosing and treating pelvic floor disorders.
The most important thing for people to know, says Hill, is that pelvic floor prolapse is really common—but just because it's common doesn't mean you have to suffer through it.
"There are some non-invasive methods available that can really help improve the quality of life," said Hill. "Their life is so much better after they do something, and many people don't even know that it could be fixed."

Thanks to the dedication of the PTA and our PS 199 faculty and staff, our students benefit from a variety of curriculum and cultural enhancements in each grade. Many programs are parent run, such as the math and chess clubs; other programs are driven by the efforts of PTA committees, like the Healthy Child, Healthy Planet and the Diversity Committees.
PS 199 is fortunate to have the resources to enhance each grade through supplemental programs that are integrated with the curriculum. These programs bring in outside facilitators or teaching artists who work with our teachers to expand the learning opportunities for our children.
The programs include a 5th grade class trip to Frost Valley, Central American culture from Symphony Space for 5th grade, bullying prevention programs for students, parents and teachers, National Dance Institute for 4th graders, New York Philharmonic for 3rd, 4th and 5th grades, New York Historical Society for 4th graders, Center for Architecture Foundation for 2nd grade, and a new program this year, Circus Arts, for first graders. Vital Theater works with both Grades One and Two and Lincoln Center Institute has a Kindergarten program that is also part of our enrichment classes.
These programs are possible because of the enthusiastic support and commitment of the PS 199 community.
Lincoln Center Institute
Lincoln Center Institute (LCI), the educational cornerstone of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, is a global leader in education and the arts. Founded in 1975, the Institute is known for its inventive repertory, and brings dance, music, theater, and visual arts into classrooms. Each year a teaching artist from LCI comes to PS 199 to teach dance to our kindergarten students. The culmination of the program is a performance for the parents.
Center for Architecture Foundation
The Center for Architecture promotes public understanding and appreciation of architecture and design through educational programs for K-12 students and teachers, families, and the general public.
National Dance Institute
The National Dance Institute aka NDI provides a comprehensive in-school dance program for the PS 199 Fourth Grade. NDI teaching artists work with a theme throughout the year, which they integrate into lessons and which inspires the design of a cohesive culminating performance. There is also a mid-year performance in which the students can showcase their growing skills.
New York Philharmonic School Partnership Program
The New York Philharmonic School Partnership Program stimulates students' creativity and understanding of music through the experience of symphonic music. In studying great musical works, attending live performances of the New York Philharmonic, and composing music of their own, students acquire focused listening skills, performance skills on recorder, musical literacy both symbolic and verbal, strategies for group work, knowledge of cultural history, and a personal relationship to the art of music. A teaching artist from the NY Philharmonic works with the students in grades three, four and five each year.
Vital Theater
The Vital Theater Company is located on the Upper West Side. Their program, Vital Voices: Arts in Education, fosters self-confidence, creative independence, and artistic growth by encouraging students to unearth their authentic voices. A teaching artist from the Vital Theatre comes to PS 199 to work with the second grade, teaching them hands-on skills in the theatrical arts. The program culminates in a final performance for parents and friends.
Wellness in the Schools
Wellness in the Schools (WITS) is a grassroots, non-profit, community based organization founded in 2005 with the goal of improving the environment, nutrition, and fitness of children in NYC public schools. In partnership with local Departments of Education, Wellness in the Schools operates the Cook for Kids program in public school cafeterias and classrooms to promote healthy eating.
Through the Cook for Kids program, WITS hires culinary graduates who work as partners with the cafeteria staff in preparing daily scratch-cooked meals using healthier food items from the Department of Education's SchoolFood. This program also aims to help inform families about the importance of eating healthy food. WITS cooks teach children and their families how to cook healthy, delicious, and affordable recipes featuring whole, unprocessed foods through WITS Labs, a series of seasonal cooking classes.
The WITS Cooks for Kids Program at PS 199 includes the following:
- Dedicated chef 1 day per week to work with the SchoolFood staff
- Two WITS Cooking Labs per year
- Seasonal Cafe Days
- WITS Bits-Educational classroom programs about healthy eating
Dedicated Chef
Our WITS Chef in Residence, Anne Williams, works alongside our PS 199 cafeteria staff to train, inspire, and support their preparation of the salad bar items and fresh homemade meals. Anne is dedicated to improving the meals served in our cafeteria and encouraging the children to try new foods. Her enthusiasm and spirit ensures that every Cooking Lab and Café Day are as fun for the children as they are educational.
Guest Chef
Jenifer Lang and her late husband were the owners of Café D'Artiste, a landmark UWS destination restaurant. She is also the author of several cook books including those for children. Jenifer will participate in several WITS related events, including Cafe Days.
WITS Cooking Labs
Four times a year, Chef Anne conducts a series of cooking labs with the children. Starting in October Anne and the kids will be making simple and healthy recipes. The children have the opportunity to prepare recipes from scratch and then sample what they've made. In the process they have the opportunity to learn how to read a recipe, measure and learn simple cooking skills such as chopping and mixing.
Whole Foods Market has donated all of the supplies for the classes and parents are encouraged to volunteer to assist with the labs. Keep checking back to this site for updates. We will be posting the dates of the labs as well as the recipes so families can enjoy them at home.
Café Days
On Café Days at PS 199, students and faculty have the opportunity to sample new tasty and healthy meals prepared from scratch by Chef Anne and our own kitchen staff. PS 199 parent volunteers assist in serving and making Café Day a special event! You will receive information in your child's backpack announcing Cafe Days.

Magento Enterprise Edition has some great features. Some of which are improvements to the CMS section. In the backend of Magento we can see under CMS > Pages > Manage Hierarchy a great system to manage CMS pages into a hierarchy which can be used as an organization tool. This systems lends itself to the idea that somehow on the frontend these pages will be organized in the same fashion. They are – to an extent. We can access these pages from a specific URL which will structure itself in the same structure of the hierarchy. However, the breadcrumbs on these pages are still structured like this: "Home / Current Page Name". If we want to add our own breadcrumbs which replicates the hierarchy, we can use the method
You can download the module here and follow along.
If you open up app/code/local/Demac/BananaBread/etc/config.xml you can see that we're rewriting the Mage_Page_Block_Html_Breadcrumbs block. Our _toHtml() function is quite similar to the original, but we will check if we are in the CMS route and if we are, generate our own breadcrumbs via getCmsBreadcrumbs(). Let's have a look at how this function works…
1. We begin by adding the "home" breadcrumb as it always comes first.
2. The hierarchy is stored in something called "nodes". For each page in the hierarchy, another node is added. Nodes contain information regarding its level in the hierarchy, path, and associated page ID.
3. We then iterate through all nodes which are associated with our current page and take the node which has the longest path to construct the breadcrumbs
4. Once we've obtained our node, we want to break apart the Xpath (the path of node IDs which we will use to construct the breadcrumbs) We will use these node IDs to obtain all of the associated nodes to the current node to obtain all of their page IDs
5. We use these page IDs to get a collection of CMS pages, iterate through them, and if the page is active (not disabled) we will add it as a crumb to our protected $_crumbs array.
6. The code checks to see if the page is active. If it's not but still in the hierarchy, don't link to it in the breadcrumbs
7. We then add the final crumb which is the current page to the end of the breadcrumbs.
8. Finally, we return the crumbs and the parent _toHtml() function adds extra data like defining which is the first and last crumbs.
Mage::helper('cms')->__('Home'), 'title' => Mage::helper('cms')->__('Go to Home Page'), 'link' => Mage::getBaseUrl(), ); // #2 $hierarchyModel = Mage::getSingleton('enterprise_cms/hierarchy_node'); $collection = $hierarchyModel ->getCollection() ->addFieldToFilter('page_id', $this->getHelper('cms/page')->getPage()->getPageId()) ; // First get the current CMS page's hierarchy // #3 foreach ($collection as $currentNode) { if (!isset($node)) { $node = $currentNode; continue; } // Take the largest xpath for the current breadcrumbs if (count(explode('/', $currentNode->getXpath())) >= count(explode('/', $node->getXpath()))) { $node = $currentNode; } } // We may get a CMS page which actually has no nodes if (!isset($node)) { $crumbs['current_page'] = array( 'label' => $this->getHelper('cms/page')->getPage()->getTitle(), 'title' => $this->getHelper('cms/page')->getPage()->getTitle(), ); return $crumbs; } // #4 $hierarchy = array(); $hierarchy['parent_nodes'] = explode('/', $node->getXpath()); $hierarchy['level'] = $node->getLevel(); if (isset($hierarchy['parent_nodes']) && $hierarchy['parent_nodes'] && $hierarchy['level'] > 1) { $nodeFilter = array(); for ($i = 0; $i < count($hierarchy['parent_nodes']); $i++) { $nodeFilter[] = array('eq' => $hierarchy['parent_nodes'][$i]); } $parentNodes = $hierarchyModel ->getCollection() ->addFieldToFilter('node_id', $nodeFilter) ; $pageIdFilter = array(); foreach($parentNodes as $node) { $pageIdFilter[] = array('eq' => $node->getPageId()); $pageIdAssoc[$node->getLevel()] = $node->getPageId(); } // Get the pages so we can echo their title and full URL // #5 $cmsPages = Mage::getSingleton('cms/page') ->getCollection() ->addFieldToFilter('page_id', $pageIdFilter) ; // Make sure we're getting back the same amount of pages as we asked for if ($cmsPages->count() == count($pageIdAssoc)) { for($i = 1; $i < count($pageIdAssoc); $i++) { $doNotAddPage = false; // Begin putting the pages in their proper order foreach($cmsPages as $page) { if ($pageIdAssoc[$i] == $page->getPageId()) { // #6 if (!$page->getIsActive()) { $doNotAddPage = true; break; } $currentPage = $page; break; } } if ($doNotAddPage) { continue; } $crumbs[$currentPage['title']] = array( 'label' => $currentPage['title'], 'title' => $currentPage['title'], 'link' => Mage::getBaseUrl() . $currentPage['identifier'], ); unset($currentPage); } } } // #7 $crumbs['current_page'] = array( 'label' => $this->getHelper('cms/page')->getPage()->getTitle(), 'title' => $this->getHelper('cms/page')->getPage()->getTitle(), ); // #8 return $crumbs; } protected function _toHtml() { $request = $this->getRequest(); $route = $request->getRouteName(); if (strtolower($route) == 'cms') { $page = $this->getHelper('cms/page')->getPage(); // Ripped from Mage_Cms_Block_Page in _prepareLayout() as we override their breadcrumbs with ours if (Mage::getStoreConfig('web/default/show_cms_breadcrumbs') && ($breadcrumbs = $this->getLayout()->getBlock('breadcrumbs')) && ($page->getIdentifier()!==Mage::getStoreConfig('web/default/cms_home_page')) && ($page->getIdentifier()!==Mage::getStoreConfig('web/default/cms_no_route'))) { $this->_crumbs = $this->getCmsBreadcrumbs(); } } return parent::_toHtml(); } }

As the sons of Strider's founder Ryan McFarland, Jesse and Bode have been the willing test riders for Strider since day one. If 'necessity is the Mother of invention' than 'teaching Bode to ride a bike was the Mother of Strider.' Ever since they were old enough to walk, they've been on two wheels of one kind or another.
Starting at three years old they were both on an Oset electric mini dirt bikes. Here are some great photos of Jesse and Bode decked out in Yamaha blue on their PW50 and TTR 90 respectively.
Their progression is moving along every day as they get older...but they both still love to ride Striders!

Clarkson University Civil & Environmental Engineering Professor Poojitha Yapa (left) received the Director's Award from the U.S. Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior for exemplary service to the nation during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and fire. Here, Yapa is congratulated by Civil & Environmental Engineering Chair Professor Stefan J. Grimberg (center) and Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering Dean Professor Goodarz Ahmadi (right).
Clarkson University's Professor Poojitha Yapa Receives Award for Exemplary Service to the Nation
Clarkson University Civil & Environmental Engineering Professor Poojitha Yapa has been honored by the United States government for his work during last year's Deepwater Horizon crisis. He recently received the Director's Award from the U.S. Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior for "exemplary service to the nation" during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and fire.
During the Deepwater incident, USGS Director Marcia K. McNutt served as chair of the National Incident Command Flow Rate Technical Group. In a letter commending Yapa, McNutt, said, "Under difficult circumstances, you and the other team members set your personal and professional lives aside to tackle these challenges. Your answers and insights helped guide important decisions and made a very real and positive difference during the response to this unprecedented oil spill event. The nation was privileged to have a cadre of such dedicated government, academic and independent scientists to call upon during this disaster."
A computer model developed by Yapa was used to predict the flow of oil and natural gas released into the Gulf of Mexico. He advised officials based on his insight into the problem and simulations using his Comprehensive Deepwater Oil and Gas (CDOG) blowout model to predict where the natural gas and oil released by the explosion might end up.
Professor Yapa and Clarkson University are heavily involved in deepwater related work, particularly with gas and hydrates in deepwater. Yapa is recognized worldwide as a major expert on modeling oil and gas released in deepwater.
Clarkson University Professor Igor Sokolov Synthesizes the Brightest Fluorescent Nanoparticles
Professor Igor Sokolov
Clarkson University Physics Professor Igor Sokolov and his team have discovered a method of making the brightest ever synthesized fluorescent silica nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have potential applications in medicine, biology, materials science, forensic studies, and in various other areas.
The scientists reported on this first successful approach to synthesizing ultrabright fluorescent mesoporous silica nanoparticles last fall. Their work is described in the leading interdisciplinary scientific journal Small. The abstract and full article are available at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/
doi/10.1002/smll.201001337/abstract .
Fluorescent materials are already used in many applications. However, having much brighter labeling particles will allow for finer detection of environmental pollutants, signals in biosensors, identification of diseased cells, and even the detection of explosives.
In fluorescence, an initial ignition light energizes molecules, and then the molecules reemit the light with a different color. This phenomenon can be used in many different applications because it is easily detectable, using optical filters to remove the ignition light, leaving only the particles' light visible.
"The particles should have a significant impact in the biomedical area," says Sokolov. "For example, you can create particles of different colors, which can be made to stick to particular biological molecules inside cells. Then you can see and trace those molecules easily with existing fluorescent microscopes. This fluorescent labeling helps to identify diseased cells and may show what is causing the disease. The particles are more stable against photo-beaching than typical fluorescent dye. This means that one can trace the particles for a very long time."

Second, some got theres when they orderd later say on the 15th.(first come first served) Third they all knew, being xmas time, that we would buy one for our child and then get another bought for someone else. (THE TIMING) SAY not as many would be sold if it was at another time of the year. They choose this time. Fouth It looks like they allready had there little cards all set to go knowing this was the plan, and the 30 days to cancel your order, is up.Remember I orderd the 12th of November. The first day! And I really dont care how much they are on ebay, who buys anything from them anyway. not me And I'm certanly not in it to make money. So now I either have to go out and buy my child another expensive gift here at the last moment, as the other boys are getting 1 expensive gift, (then he will get two) or just hand him this printer card and call it even and he can wait till January or Febuary for his present. This is called being slaped in the face for being nice and I hate it.

The use of emergency contraception is up, as more women have been using emergency contraception, also known as morning-after pills, according to US News & World Report.
Emergency contraception is a high dose of progestin that prevents pregnancy by delaying ovulation. Some research has suggested that emergency contraception may make it more difficult for sperm to get past the cervix and into the uterus, and may make the uterus less hospitable to sperm.
Emergency contraception has been available by prescription since 1999, before regulators approved over-the-counter sales of the drug in 2006.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 4.2 percent of women in 2002 said they had used the pill, but between 2006 and 2010 that figure had jumped to 11 percent. This jump translates to 5.8 million women who were between 15 and 44 years old.
US News reported that in 1995, it was less than 1 percent. The report was released earlier this year by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics using data from the 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth.
CBS News stated that the report was based on in-person interviews of more than 12,000 women in 2006 through 2010. It was the agency's first in-depth report on that issue.
Of those who used emergency contraception during those four years, 59 percent said they took it just once, while 24 percent said they used it twice. Seventeen percent said they used it three times or more.
Young women were most likely to use morning-after pills. Nearly one in four of sexually-active women between 20 and 24 had used emergency contraception.
In the study, half the women who used the pills said they did it because they'd had unprotected sex. Most of the rest cited a broken condom or worries that their other birth control method had failed.
CDC's findings also showed that the reasons for emergency contraception use varied depending on race and education levels.
The research showed that white and better-educated women used the drug the most, usually due to worries that another birth control method had failed.

A newspaper article about school lunches around the world inspired this recipe. While our kids are eating turkey hot dogs, students in France apparently are feasting on ham and lentils, a traditional French combination.
A newspaper article about school lunches around the world inspired this recipe. While our kids are eating turkey hot dogs, students in France apparently are feasting on ham and lentils, a traditional French combination.
Jealous of that Gallic entree, I modernized the idea with this salad, in which the ham is moved from main focus to accessory. Diced apple adds an American accent.
The change in proportions makes this a well-balanced lunch dish when served with whole-grain bread or as a side at dinner with roast chicken.Lentils With Applesand Ham
Makes about 8 servings
The dish can be refrigerated for up to three days. Bring it to room temperature before serving.
1 cup dried green lentils
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup finely diced onion
Kosher salt
1 large or 2 small sweet, crisp apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 11/4 cups)
4 ounces low-sodium smoked ham, trimmed of all fat, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (about 1 cup)
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon honey
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Place the lentils in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover them by at least 2 inches. Partially cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low or as needed so the water is barely bubbling at the edges.
Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the lentils are just tender. Drain the lentils and transfer them to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, heat half of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, stirring to coat; reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 4 minutes, until the onion has softened.
Stir in the apples; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until just softened.
Add the ham and stir to incorporate. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the ham has heated through. Add the mixture to the drained lentils.
Whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, the vinegar, mustard and honey in a liquid measuring cup to form an emulsified dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour over the lentil mixture, then add the parsley. Toss gently to incorporate and coat well. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Space here for 3-4 cars. Ballaghisheen is at just over 300m so the climb to the top at around 551m is not a great strain. There is a sign advising that access is prohibited however the broken fence and tracks uphill indicate access must be frequent. Head uphill skirting around the mountains east side initially which will being you to the bottom of a deep, wide cleft in the ridge. It is pointless trying to climb up before this as you need to descend into it and climb out of this cleft in any case to access the summit route. Climb up then skirting the steep edge of a corrie-like cliff (no water though) before heading directly for the flat grassy summit. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/364/comment/5123/ Picture from simon3 : Rough and low route to Coomura Picture: Rough and low route to Coomura simon3 on Knocknacusha, 2005 by simon3 2 Aug 2005 A visit to Knocknacusha is probably best seen as a short trip, not as part of a longer route. The sort of place you can try if you want an easy walk, but not without its rewards. You can start at Ballaghisheen, a mountain pass. There's space for just a few cars here, if you are driving. Ballaghisheen is at just over 300m so the climb to the top at around 551m is not a great strain. The summit is unexciting -- there is a small pile of rocks at the top.The view south is towards Coomura Mtn (666m) over an area of very broken ground with a lot of bare rock. Just right of centre near the top of the picture is a big glacier flattened slab. On the way up to Knocknacusha there's a couple of similar pieces of glacial handiwork to look at.

You can go over 600m without dropping much. The view is great for so little work. To your right Cloon Lough will come into view between you and the well known Mullaghannatin area. To your left Colly mountain and the southern arm of the Glenbeigh horseshoe. The picture shows the front view including the south side of the Reeks in the clouds on the left, the sharp peak of Broaghnabinnia just right of centre and the lumpy mass of Stumpa Duloigh (784m) to its right.

Picture: Coomura Mtn from Knocknacusha. After you... Peter Walker on Knocknacusha, 2009 by Peter Walker 19 May 2009 As Simon has suggested, this works well as a short trip from Ballaghisheen (671792 A), a short boggy and bumpy section giving way to an easy-ish climb. But I think his picture doesn't dissuade any aspirant ascentionists thinking of doing Coomura via this top nearly effectively enough, so that's my excuse for posting a pic looking in much the same direction: it looks VERY impressive from here.

Picture: The Reeks and Coomloughra Horseshoe from afar. Nice end to a day out. by muddyboots 23 Feb 2017 Similar to the other contributors, this is not a single summit day out. I did it after Colly. It's an hour or so with a coffee break. Start at the Ballaghasheen pass (spectacular drive in & out) and head slightly westwards starting at a metal pylon. No broken fences or signs here. Skirt slightly on the west side until the first few rock shelves are climbed. I advise going up on the lefthand side (steep) and down on the left hand side (less steep). The views are superb! Summit is unremarkable.

"Sam has the knowledge that an experienced agent can rely on when I need another viewpoint. I also see Sam working with other agents in our office that need specific training and he does a great job with them too. Office has a great "face" with Sam as the manager." - M. Pahlbod
"When I met Sam Benson and started a conversation I immediately felt informed and empowered. Sam displayed unwavering dedication in helping me achieve success. With his mentorship and guidance, I had all the tools I needed to transition into my new firm with ease. I'm still amazed at how much of a difference it makes being advised by someone who I respect and trust." - Jane Z.
"Sam Benson's approach to real estate training and support has provided me with successes that I did not have at other brokerages. Sam consistently puts me in touch with agents that need open house assistance on a weekly basis. His knowledge of our forms and using our forms to keep a transaction going is very helpful." - Martin D.
"I have recently come to know Sam Benson and found him to be a knowledgeable and experienced broker. He relates well with the agents in the office and his personal care for their success is refreshing." - Samuel P.

The man is the definition of professionalism. He made me feel as if I were the most important client ever.
136 Caprice
We met Sam at an open house he was hosting in our neighborhood. Sam's professional yet easy-going style made such a positive impression on us that when we made the decision to sell our house, we called him for an appointment. He arrived fully prepared with information regarding comparable properties in our area as well as a complete dossier on himself and his company. He made suggestions as to what would bring us top dollar and by the end of that first meeting, we knew that Sam was the broker we wanted to work with. Because we were leaving the country, Sam went into overdrive to ensure that our home would be ready to hit the market as quickly as possible. His hard work and expertise produced multiple offers and his experience with international clients proved to be invaluable. Sam's business acumen and his integrity are only two of the many reasons we would recommend him. Working with Sam was an extremely positive experience!
0 Pleasant HIll Road
Sam is a thorough professional and a pleasure to work with.
3124 Moraga Cir, Farifield
Sam was great! He was very patient and committed to finding the home we wanted. Sam was also very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the home buying process as well as answering any questions my wife and I had. I highly recommend his services and would use him again without hesitation.
204 Garden Creek, Danville
Sam is smart, business like, a great guy. I felt like I was I in excellent hands with him as my realtor. He came prepared and ready to represent me the way I wanted to be represented to make the best sale possible.
Sam was extremely kind, caring, and helpful. He was very professional and went above and beyond helping me take care of the sale of my aunt's home. This was so valuable to me as I live 500 miles away and my aunt was having some memory issues. I don't think I could have found anyone better.
J. Burns
Sam is the best! He is thorough and professional as well as a great listener. He helps make a stressful process less so by his calm and reassuring manner. I highly recommend Sam for any real estate transaction.
Kelley Ct.
Sam Benson is an excellent realtor, very easy to work with, and attentive to details. He couldn't have been more helpful in selling my parents' home, despite the difficulties due to my living out of state. There were some glitches along the way, and he was calm and worked through them with us. I would highly recommend Sam.
248 Hillcrest, McKissick
Sam is a knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive professional and adds value to any real estate endeavor he's involved with.
1371 Sunset Loop
Sam brings years of experience to the transaction as well as a very easy going consultative approach that is much needed in this tricky Real Estate market.
Sam was available 24/7 for any help I needed. He went above and beyond the call of duty to help me sell the home quickly. He was always available.

Zuniga will play a cynical TV talk show producer who encounters a chameleon-like social climber (Heather Gordon). Stephen Barker Turner and David Wilson Barnes round out the cast.
Director Amy Glazer is producing the low-budget feature with Lynn Webb, Ned Kopp and Zuniga, shooting on sets built in Kanbar's San Francisco home.
Glazer and Zuniga collaborated this year during the play's West Coast premiere in San Francisco.
Jonathan Baruch of Rain Management Group, which reps Zuniga with BRS Agency, is co-producer.
The CAA-repped Rebeck is no stranger to the scene she sends up, having been a New York-based producer-writer on such hits as "NYPD Blue" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." (partialdiff)

1. Consider building the celebration around an activity you all can enjoy. Some ideas include:
- Having a family picnic
- Enjoying a family barbecue
- Taking dad to a favorite sporting event
- Go fishing together
- Go plane spotting or train spotting together
- Play golf together.
2. Make it a family event. Father's Day is by nature a family event. Use this opportunity to get everyone in the family together for a fun day. Think about including all the dads in your family, not just your own father. Could your celebration include husbands, would-be future dads, your uncles, and brothers? If so, do it—the more the merrier! And don't forget step-fathers—they're important too. You don't have to remain at home; you could go to the beach, a local park, a favorite spot of dad's!
3. Help dad to enjoy the day. Perhaps you'll let him sleep in this morning, or perhaps you won't badger him to be somewhere on time, for a change. Whatever it is, let it be his day. Some nice ways to start it include:
- Having a family picnic
- Enjoying a family barbecue
- Taking dad to a favorite sporting event
- Go fishing together
- Go plane spotting or train spotting together
- Play golf together.
- Bake a cake
- Make his favorite dinner
- Make a gift basket and fill it with homemade candies, cookies, crossword or other puzzles you've created yourself, hand-crafted woodwork objects, etc.
- If you're artistically inclined, draw or paint a portrait of your dad from a favorite photo or from memory
- Write a poem
- Write a song and perform it.
5. Celebrate your shared experiences. Look at old photos of you and your dad doing fun things together. Take a walk down memory lane by creating either a photo album or a photo slideshow. You may be surprised at how many things you both have forgotten about and how much they mean to you.
- Especially if he doesn't talk much about his life, consider recording his voice or taking notes as you talk about old times or old photographs. Make his words and memories part of the family history.
- Make a handmade card
- Write a letter
- Write a speech or prepare a toast
- Have all of your siblings explain why dad matters to them.
7. Make the day joyful. The most important aspect of the day is that you are present and attentive. It does not take material presents to make a dad happy—it takes showing your love, and reassuring your dad that you're proud of him and all he's done for you. For many fathers, the most rewarding part of being a father is feeling that your children love you, and the knowledge that each child is on a path to a successful future, no matter what age, coping well with the problems that life inevitably throws at us all.
8. End his "Fun-filled day" by telling your father you love him. Don't forget his hug and kiss!
