What's on Your iPhone? (For Your Kids...) | KCET
What's on Your iPhone? (For Your Kids...)
Last November, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center released a report titled Learning: Is There an App for That? which looks at the ways in which families are using mobile devices with their kids. The study expands on a 2009 report titled Pockets of Potential, which shows that exposure to educational media - like the terrific Super Why iPhone app - through mobile devices at a young age can have a positive effect on kids and their learning as they enter school.
In the newer report, the authors, Cynthia Chiong and Carly Shuler, identify the "pass-back effect," in which young children play with iPhones and other devices with touch screens that belong to their parents. Often this is in grocery stores, at bus stops or in restaurants, and the authors highlight the potential for this activity to promote "anytime, anywhere learning," as well as its ability to impact kids who may not have access to computers, helping level the technology playing field somewhat. They highlight many drawbacks as well, but overall, champion wise use of mobiles with kids.
With this in mind, I asked a few LA-based parents who also work in some capacity with new media, what their kids use on mobile phones.
Daniel says his daughter likes the phone's camera feature best, but also uses SketchBook. "She also gets a kick out of Google Earth, where she especially likes to find Hawaii and Brazil."
Susana Ruiz, who created the critically acclaimed social activist game Darfur Is Dying, offered this amazing list of apps favored by her 6-year-old:
"¢ Robo Logic - engages and teaches simple fundamentals of programming via the act of controlling a robot.
"¢ Charadium - a networked draw-and-guess game. We were all completely hooked on this for several weeks. I think it had an impact on my son's drawing/visual communication abilities.
"¢ Electric Box - nicely designed puzzle-like game where you're also learning about sources, types and flows of energy/power.
"¢ Jelly Car 2 - my son doesn't use this now, but was totally into it for a long time. It's very well designed and has a great Level Editor that allowed him to really be creative and make his own levels, which in turn, helped him conceptualize game design itself.
"¢ Puppet Pals - allows you to put together a whole show. Choose actors, backdrops, add movement and sound and it records it for playback. Good storytelling tool.
"¢ StopMotion Recorder - stop motion animation creation app. In one short afternoon, he was creating quite great stop motion videos, but more importantly, it taught him the concept of stop motion which led to all kinds of ideas.
Susana says that, based on the fact that she and her partner are artists and filmmakers, they try to expose their son to art-oriented games and activities. These include abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz, a kinetic alphabet artwork, Yellowtail by Golan Levin, Erik Loyer's work and Kometen by Erik Svedäng.
For Erik Loyer, who has contributed to innovations in app design himself, bringing new gestures and interactivity to storytelling, the apps favored by his kids include
In the conclusion to Learning: Is There an App for That?, the authors note that "trends suggest that preschool- and elementary-age kids may soon be using smart mobile devices seamlessly - first at home and then perhaps in the classroom of 2015 as a normal part of growing up in a digital age." They call on developers to create smart, compelling and innovative apps that will support learning. Many of the apps noted above move in this direction, but by using drawing, design, music and more poetic approaches that spark curiosity, which in turn may contribute to learning.

Honesty is the best policy for your business …
Self-deception is the process or the point whereby we deceive ourselves, to assume what's false or inaccurate as true or valid. In short, self-deception is a way to justify ourselves to our false belief. In a time of fundamental and rapid changes, from 2009 and specially in this year 2012, we are dealing with the fact that we have to change our everyday assumptions.
80% of our responses are based on our subconscious, which leads our conscious behavior. Is that self-deception?
It is clear: the subconscious I'm referring to here, is not the irrational, dark unconscious of Freud, where our repressed sexual desires reside.
Edward de Haan, Professor of Neuropsychology at the University of Utrecht, states, it's an adaptive, information processing system that allows us to adapt to new environments. The mind works most efficiently by 'outsourcing' a large part of the information processing (selecting, interpreting, evaluating information and learning) to our subconscious. (Source: Intermediair)
'Certain circumstances in the past with positive or negative consequences, are stored ', says De Haan. ' If we have to take decisions, they weigh on a subconscious level. That allows us, quickly and effectively, to function in a situation with too much information and too many uncertainties to follow consciously. '
And there is almost always too much information.
In my opinion, it is self-deception to believe in a continuous progress and growth of our economy. And to maintain that as a ' Holy ' belief in processes of decision-making. If our current system is based on growth, we deceive ourselves if we do not think seriously which method suits the current phase of life.
It has grown over our head as banks are held afloat with citizens' money. Savings and investments are now going to be separated in banks.
To consider self-enrichment as an approved measure of an economic system, implies self-deception. There is a human scale of things that bring joy. A friendly gesture has more meaning than simply focusing on ones own revenue. Greed is a property, contrary to what we as human beings need.
Greed generates terrible things in humans and destroys much of value.
More and more people realize that a crucial turning point in their lives is required and have the courage to do so. To join and meet on pathless roads. Soulmates meet and appreciate each other. Encouraging. There's a reason for the popularity of pilgrimage places and hiking trips.
To meet yourself and others, who have something to say. Discovering what is, always has been, but which we passed by already.
Deception, self-deception, mean abuse of the circumstances, misleading.
To take responsibility in the world, in this 21st century, is a first step and truly to see what else we can do to provide a fair distribution. Honesty is the best policy …

text: In this book, prominent authors from disciplines as diverse as biology, philosophy, and the social sciences have assembled to consider the nature of cooperation and prosocial behavior at levels of social complexity ranging from the individual to the international. Successive sections cover key topics such as the relations between cooperation in animals and humans, the development of prosocial propensities in humans, aspects of the situation and of personality that increase the probability that individuals will behave prosocially, the relationships among trust, cooperation, and commitment, and cooperation between groups and nations. Three case studies that illustrate the important issue of international cooperation are also included. The chapters are integrated by a series of useful editorials that emphasize that a full understanding of cooperation and prosocial behavior requires us to move among different levels of social complexity.

SANTA FE, N.M. (Legal Newsline)-A $14.9 million jury award to the family of a New Mexico man who was killed in an fiery explosion has been upheld by the state Court of Appeals.
John Everett Stapleton was killed in an explosion after he backed his vehicle into an unfenced gas well near the city of Farmington.
A Santa Fe jury awarded his family $1.92 million in compensatory damages and $13 million in punitive damages.
Energen Resources Corp. had argued before the three-judge appeals court panel that the jury award was unconstitutional because of its excessiveness.
After a trial in 2006, the Birmingham, Ala.-based gas company was found to be negligent and its conduct reckless in the death of 19-year-old Stapleton.
Court papers say after Stapleton backed his car into the wellhead, it exploded.
The appeals court found that the gas company "knew that there was a hazard of someone colliding with the wellhead, knew that if that happened serious bodily harm or death could result, knew that the well site was in a highly-traveled area, knew that erecting a barricade or fence would prevent the hazard, and still chose not to barricade the well site."
The $13 million punitive damages award is "appropriate to achieve the dual goals of punishment and deterrence in this case," Judge Michael Vigil wrote in the panel's opinion.
The family of Cody Amezcua, 20, also of Farmington, who was also killed in the incident, settled its lawsuit against Energen Resources before trial for an undisclosed amount.

This is a post that originally appeared on the Change.org Social Entrepreneurship blog last March.
With all the excitement and energy around social entrepreneurship, there's a tendency to dismiss the sector that was working on social impact long before it was cool: the nonprofit world.
These days, nonprofits get far less airtime in the social innovation movement than their for-profit, social entrepreneur counterparts. Perhaps that's because the for-profit form of social change is new, so it seems more interesting, sexier — more apt to create change. And, of course, the idea that business can be reworked to address public goods is incredibly compelling.
But often the older nonprofit sector is left behind, partly because the sector tends to be risk- and change-averse. Again and again, Ive heard again that innovation will never become part of the nonprofit system — that nonprofits are too set in their ways. Or that the sector is too broken to emerge anew.
That attitude, though, is unacceptable. There's great danger in dismissing the sector. Sure, it's inefficient, dysfunctional and broken. Yet it has tremendous potential for innovation. Indeed, without innovation in the nonprofit sector, the broader movement to solve social problems is doomed.
The current hype around for-profit social entrepreneurship sometimes reminds me of the dot.com bubble, or even the more recent unbounded speculation in the financial markets. We have to be careful of the hubris that accompanies new trends. The nonprofit sector is an enormous part of our economy and has a long history of working towards social change. If we were to cast it aside completely, we'd lose the tremendous resources (money, people, mind-share) that are being invested in that sector every day. Without its oldest component, the social innovation movement is weakened.
So instead of tossing it aside, let's remake it, re-envision, restructure and reinvent it.
What does that mean? It means that the best and the brightest in the social innovation field need to figure out how to innovate in the nonprofit as well as private sector. It means that the social capital market that's being created to provide financial vehicles for budding social businesses should also include support for social entrepreneurs in the nonprofit space. It means venture philanthropy funds should share investor prospects with social venture funds, and vice-versa.
What's more, innovation requires that investors interested in a social return own portfolios that include not only social businesses, but also nonprofit deals. Foundations should invest in both for profit and nonprofit social impact organizations. At social innovation conferences, speakers and attendees should come from both sectors. Nonprofits interested in growth should have access to capital and management expertise to scale. And a nonprofit that's solving social problems should get just as many resources, respect and mind-share as a social business that's doing the same.
All of this will require a shift in attitudes, not to mention changed laws and accounting standards that can help social entrepreneurs look at both for-profit and nonprofit structures, incentives and restrictions.
There's no magic bullet for anything out there, particularly social change. But by focusing all of our energy on just one piece of the social innovation puzzle, we run the risk of less change — or none at all.

text: Hey everyone, I've made this thread with the goal of finding out how Oxygen Sealers are working in the latest build. I've rewritten almost all of the sealer code between 2.0.5 and 2.0.6, and increased the amount of blocks you can seal with it, also eliminated some crashes by running sealer checks in separate threads. In the latest version (2.0.6), one sealer can seal a 1250 block area. This sounds like a lot but you'd be surprised how fast that is used up. Multiple sealers should stack that amount properly, e.g. 2 sealers within range of each other will combine to seal a 2500 block area properly. The sealers check every 300 ticks (5 seconds if there's no lag) for a properly sealed area, so don't give up if you see unsealed right when opening the GUI. I'm looking for some feedback using the latest build only. If you are unable to seal an area, please post a screenshot of your room. If you can seal your room, you can feel free to also post a screenshot, just make sure you mention whether you got your room to seal or not. Thanks

Lessons from 'El Chapo' – 5 Hidden Tips and Tricks for Closing 80 Percent of Your Sales
I'm known as a Jail-Breaker. This provided us with a talking point when I attended the National Speakers Association conference recently…
In case you have not been following the international news, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman has become the USA's most wanted man following his audacious escape from a high security prison. It is alleged that a $5 million tunnel was built under his cell over the 12 months prior to his escape. At the time of going to press, at least 7 prison officers were released from their positions.
Local commentary indicated that this escape would have cost closer to $20 million when you consider that a number of people may have been paid off for their services and involvement with this escape.
So, how does El Chapo's escape relate to growing sales leadership and making more profit? Well, just like his tunnel, there are 5 hidden tips and tricks for closing 80% of your sales that I'd like to write about today.
Know Your Clients Inside Out
I suspect that El Chapo spent time researching the prison guards and other inmates who could help him execute his daring escape. He would have needed to know their motivations and understand the value that they would require to get involved with his escape.
How well do you understand your clients? Have you taken the time to understand their requirements and relate that to both soft and hard benefits that your solution or service can offer?
When it comes to successful sales, there needs to be a cultural fit between both organisations. Are you taking the time to understand this and articulate this internally and can you confidently identify the relationships that key decision-makers have with your competitors?
Don't Underestimate the Cost of Sale
People are speculating that the overall cost for El Chapo to break out of prison could be as much as 5 times the cost of building the tunnel. What you have to remember is that for any significant sales opportunity, you will be undertaking a marathon – not a sprint!
The key here is to pace yourself. Make sure that you set a realistic expectation on the decision-making process within your client's environment. It is not unusual to receive a Request for Pricing (RFP) that defines milestones and key deliverables within the evaluation process. For the most part, the front-end deliverable is the date and time that your response needs to be lodged or submitted. For many organisations, this is becoming a fixed timeframe that cannot be shifted.
There are two things for you to consider here. The first is whether or not you have enough resources to enable you to meet that timeframe. In many cases, if your proposal arrives 10 minutes late, you could be automatically disqualified!
Add some 'fat factor' into your planning and try to finish your documentation a full 24 hours prior to your 'absolute-drop-dead' time when the proposal needs to be couriered out. This can help you cater for some last-minute unforeseen circumstances that could derail you.
Secondly, assume that the evaluation timeframes detailed in the RFP will probably extend significantly. Therefore, be prepared to have your experts on call for an extended period to account for this. After all, you don't want an 'expert witness' to be out of town on the day that their testimony can condemn or reprieve a plaintiff!
Identify Your "Inside Man" (a.k.a. Key Stakeholders)
There's no doubt in my mind that El Chapo didn't break out of prison by himself. He needed help. Securing a sale has a similar requirement… you'll need help from the 'inside.'
Chart out the key stakeholders and quantify their position – are they pro, against or undetermined in their support for you and your solution?
As described earlier, make sure that you know of any relationships that they might have with competitors (especially if there is a bloodline relationship). This becomes one of the most common reasons that organisations lose sales. A decision to award the contract is not made on the merits of your solution, its cost-effectiveness, return on investment or features and benefits. It is awarded because a cousin or an in-law is connected to the senior executive that you didn't have a relationship with.
Ensure That You Are Aligned with Other Suppliers
According to the Wall Street Journal, nearly 14 months before El Chapo escaped from his maximum-security cell through a tunnel, one of his Sinaloa Cartel lieutenants broke out of another prison in the same way.
The bigger the sale, the more important it is to have a solid sales team surrounding you.
In today's age of complex solutions, you will invariably have other suppliers' products and services intertwined with yours. Demonstrate the compatibility between your organisations and make sure that there is clear visibility that you are aligned. If possible, share a documented process flow that will give your clients security in the knowledge that escalation paths and service level agreements are in place should anything unforeseen go wrong!
Don't Leave Any Stone Unturned
It was reported in TIME that at least 7 people – including Librado Carmona Garcia, the head of the maximum security prison Guzman had been housed in – have been arrested.
A sales proposal needs to go through a similar thorough evaluation of the client, their relationships and potential stumbling blocks of political alliances that could stop the sale.
You might want to make sure that you use a sales planning tool like the Target Account Selling (TAS) Tool to help you map strategic individuals, relationships and alliances before, during and after the sale.
This is a software tool that can help you map the key decision-makers, stakeholders and relationships internally and externally. Features like the 'Political Map Express' can help you to identify the right people, gain access, and develop support to give you a competitive advantage to win the business.
I believe that this is one of the most critical aspects that is often overlooked in the sales process. Just by getting this right up-front, you can evaluate the realistic chances of winning the business. Even to the point of concluding that your chances of success are too slim to justify submitting a proposal.
So, take a leaf out of El Chapo's book and ask yourself, "Have I understood all my key stakeholders, identified and neutralised my opponents, and am I willing to carry on with 'business-as-usual' until it is time to pull the plug and go to the next phase?"

I spilled what must have been at the most a ml or two of e-liquid on my laptop keyboard last night, I mopped it up in seconds and though I was okay because I got it so quick, it was so little and it's fairly thick. It was working fine, absolutely no issues whatsoever afterwards.
Today I powered on the laptop and the keyboard was acting odd, keys not working, when they did inputting characters from all over the keyboard, an m might get you an m, a plus sign and a zero. You get the picture. I powered it off, took out the battery and put it upside down in the airing cupboard. I know I'm probably looking at a replacement keyboard here but I'm freaking out in case anything else might be or could be damaged, I won't be able to get it to the computer repair store until Tuesday because it's a bank holiday here, I'm debating opening it up myself and trying to clean it off, wouldn't have a massive amount of experience but it might be better than leaving it sit. So annoyed right now, can anyone advise me on what to do? It's a Samsung 5v511
E- liquid is the stuff that you put into an electronic cigarette or personal vaporiser.
mmm opening up a laptop needs to be approached carefully; especially when dealing with the keyboard assembly...
Likely the stuff you spilled into the laptop is of an oil based nature... and that will have "clotted" or coagulated to some degree. It will be pain to remove... but can be done; and yes the keyboard assembly may well need to be accessed/removed in order to do it.
If it's just one or two keys that appear to be a problem - and you seem to imply that is the case - you may be able to remove the individual key caps and clean out some (hopefully most/all) of the guck that is around each of those particular keys?
Isopropyl alchohol may may be decent and safe solvent. Apply with a Q-tip (ensure the tip is not shedding fibres); and/or a small paint brush (think of an artist's water colour or oil paint brush) - possibly use both Q-tip and paint brush.
Some of the oil may have penetrate deeper into the system innards; but I'm not inclined to think that at this juncture. My own experience with users spilling liquids into a keyboard (tea/coffee/water etc. - and it happens way too often in broadcasting environments...) is that generally it only gets into the immediate area around the keys... Each key is usually in its own mini well as it were... which to some extent limits to the chances of liquids getting further into the innards; and if the liquid is of more viscous/thicker than water etc. by nature, then likely it will be even less inclined to get there?
You have nothing to lose if you feel up to removing the indivudual key caps and cleaning out as above?
Ensure there is absolutely "no power" of any sort going into the laptop; mains or battery. Remove both completely and wait a minute or two before proceeding with cleaning efforts.
What make and model laptop is this?
And of course... in future keep all such liquids - in fact any liquid - well clear of any keyboard and computer in general... And maybe even use this experience as a good time to start cutting down on e-cigarrettes etc. if that is what was actually happening at the time of the spilage? Besides the health benefits, think of the cash you'll save - for other more useful "toys etc..."?
message edited by trvlr
I favor opening the laptop, removing the keyboard, and then cleaning with a high quality rubbing alcohol, leaving it to dry and reassembling. When you open up, you will be able to tell if the liquid has gotten anywhere else and clean those areas also. Do NOT put power back into the laptop until it is clean and dry. If you decide it is beyond your ability, leaving it without the battery will not cause any further damage, but it might make the liquid thicker or stickier. I knoe that HP has full disassembly and part replacement instructions available for download on their website, but I do not know if Samsung is as smart, though you might actually find You-Tube videos on nearly anything these days so that may offer more options.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

Best blending sponge you can find online for this price. I ordered twice, and always order at least two at once so i have a backup on hand. I've tried several different sponge blenders and all of them were too firm and didn't blend my makeup right. This one is really soft. I suggest you wash it with bar of soap before or after every use. Some dye will run out of it.

"I recommended the sponge and store" .The pink sponge is good. There was a problem which is loosing colour. Aftre the fourth times washing it still loosing colour. But when it is wet , it is bigger and very soft. The seller sent to me second sponge which is white and it isn't loosing colour. The seller is very kind. By the way the pink one is softer than white one the tiny bite. But both of them are so soft.

К сожалению могу поставить только 4 звезды, потому что после первой стирки спонжа поняла что тяжело его отстирать несмотря на то, что я пользуюсь легким тональным кремом. и у мыла был острый конец об который я немного повредила спонж. Но я Вам скажу если у вас сухая кожа и даже супер жирный крем не помогает, а тональный крем нужен спонж просто спасение! Попробуйте он реально упрощает все.

Nato artisticamente a New York, Jono è un musicista giramondo.
Con una voce e uno stile musicale che devono al soul, al Blues e "Americana", e al rock'n'roll più tradizionale, il musicista americano ha da anni legato la propria carriera a doppio filo con l'Italia, paese che da subito lo ha accolto artisticamente e nel quale ha realizzato ben sette album per l'etichetta Club De Musique, e ancora due per l'etichetta Appaloosa, oltre a molte produzioni di artisti italiani curate in prima persona, compresi gli ultimi due dischi dei mitici The Gang, e progetti con Stefano Barotti, Momo, Barnetti Bros Band (con Massimo Bubola, Andrea Parodi, Massimiliano Larocca), Mandolin Brothers, Beatrice Campisi, Marco Corrao, e altri.
In più Manson continua a fare diversi altri collaborazioni con artisti italiani come il disco "Gamblers" , realizzato a quattro mani con il chitarrista genovese Paolo Bonfanti e, di recente, sta collaborando con Edoardo Bennato per un spettacolo teatrale che verrà presentato anche fuori dell'Italia.
La sua avventura musicale lo ha portato in oltre trentacinque anni di carriera a suonare in tutto il mondo e a collaborare con artisti del calibro di Joan Osborne, Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors (nati dalla sua stessa scena musicale), Brothers Keeper e Jason Crosby ma anche di leggende come Bo Diddley, Dr. John, Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen, Carol King e Pete Seeger.
Jono ha lavorato molto anche nel mondo del Cinema sia come attore che come compositore grazie anche alla forte amicizia che lo lega a Kevin Costner e alla stretta parentela coi fratelli Coen.
Dopo essere partito da New York e aver attraversato l'Italia, Jono Manson vive da qualche anno a Santa Fe, In New Mexico, nelle terre sacre degli indiani d'America.
Ha avviato un bellissimo studio di registrazione in pieno centro della città, dove ospita artisti da tutto il mondo e dove ha prodotto, tra gli altri, artisti del calibro di John Popper, Jaime Michaels, Tao Rodriguez Seeger, Crystal Bowersox, la band pakistana The Sketches ed è stato premiato tre volte come "produttore dell'anno" alle prestigionese New Mexico Music Awards.
"Se non fosse stato per Jono Manson non sarebbero esistiti i Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors e la scena jam newyorkese: neppure Joan Osborne avrebbe mai debuttato. Me lo sono sentito dire qualche decina di volte questo ritornello, e non da Jono, ma da diversi musicisti: la Osborne e John Popper in primis, quando li ho intervistati tempo fa. Jono che da tempo vive a Santa Fe, è un ragazzo simpatico dotato di una voce profonda che lo avvicina molto a quella di John Hiatt...Manson non è uno qualunque, la sua musica è meditata e profonda." Paolo Carù (Buscadero)
"Manson scrive canzoni coi fiocchi, muovendosi sulle mezze tinte dell'americana con gusto sopraffino. In 'Under the Stone' mette in fila quindici brani solidissimi dove strofe, ritornelli e special sono tutti al posto giusto." Musica! (La Repubblica)
"Jono Manson si conferma ancora una volta autore ispirato e cantante profondamente 'soulful'." (La Stampa)
"Le giovani band, italiani compresi, dovrebbero imparare da lui: nessuna pretesa, tanta voglia di suonare, tonnellate di passione, che bastano e avanzano per andare avanti." Marco Denti (Buscadero)
"Una coppia d'assi sul tavolo da poker non farebbe la gioia di nessuno, ma nel caso di questo 'Gamblers', la coppia costituita da Manson-Bonfanti vince la mano e porta a casa il Piatto! ... Suona maledettamente bene." Gabriele Guerra (Backstreets)
"Il respiro di New York vive nelle ballate di Jono" (Corriere della Sera)
Jono Manson is a prolific singer/songwriter and seasoned performer, with a long track record that includes major-label releases as both recording artist and producer. During a career spanning almost four decades he has performed everywhere from the local dive to Madison Square Garden, from house concerts to festival stages. He has released numerous albums and amassed a vast catalog of original material.
His songs have been recorded by Grammy Award - winning artists and have been featured in major motion pictures, on network television and in national advertising campaigns. He continues to collaborate with a wide range of artists as a co-writer and producer, and as a member of numerous side projects. He also owns and operates a recording studio in the hills north of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Last year he toured extensively throughout the continental United States as a solo artist and as a member of John Popper and the Duskray Troubadours and also performed two European tours. While not on the road, Jono spent most of his time writing songs and producing records.
Jono has also long been closely connected to the Italian music scene and has collaborated with, and/or produced records for numerous Italian artists including The Barnetti Bros, Stefano Barotti, Paolo Bonfanti, Momo, and many others. In fact, Manson became so intensely connected to the Italian music scene that he made his home-base in Italy from 2003-2006.
Recent projects produced by Manson include albums for Santa Fe's favorite alt-country rockers Anthony Leon and the Chain, Grammy-Award winner John Popper (Manson also co-wrote much of the material for this project), 2011 NM Music Award winners Jaime Michaels (Album of the Year) and Kito Peters (Best Humorous/Novelty), Southern California roots-rocker Lee Simpson, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger (grandson of folk icon Pete Seeger), Stefano Barotti, Momo (Sony/BMG) and The Barnetti Bros. "Chupadero" (Universal Records). Jono also recently recorded and/or mixed records for Italian rockers Mojo Filter, Shurman from Austin, TX, and many others. Manson was honored with a 2011 NM Music Award for "Producer of the Year" for his work with Michaels. .
He's currently working on projects with Pakistani Sufi/Folk rockers "The Sketches" and singer/songwriter (and American Idol alum) Crystal Bowersox, as well as numerous regional artists from in and around New Mexico. His song "Washed Away" was just recorded by Blues Traveler and four of his compositions are now being featured in the new family film "I Heart Shakey". Jono spent so much energy working on albums for other people and on various side projects, that he didn't have time to make a new album of his own during the last year. He does have two projects in the wings (a new "Jono Manson" album, and a collection of songs for children) that he will complete in the winter of 2012/13.
Jono comes from a family full of creative people.
For example, his mother was a principle member in the Martha Graham dance company, who also worked alongside the likes of Merce Cunningham, John Cage, and Leonard Bernstein and Jono's cousins are the filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen. So, it's not surprising that he formed his first all-original band in 1968, at the age of seven and, from that moment on, never looked back.
Manson fronted many groups throughout his teens, always playing original music. He became a full-time professional musician at the age of 19, when he began working almost nightly in bars and clubs in his native New York City. In 1981, along with legendary NYC guitarist Simon Chardiet, he founded "Joey Miserable and the Worms" (which later became just "The Worms"). The six piece band played it's own infectious blend of jump blues, funk, rockabilly, country and R&B. To this day, Manson's songwriting reflects a wide range of styles, and defies easy classification. During his ten years with the Worms, Jono played repeatedly in virtually every live music club on the New York scene, including Max's Kansas City, Dan Lynch's, CBGB, The Ritz, Peppermint Lounge, the Lone Star Cafe and, of course, the now legendary Nightingales.
While playing with the Worms, Manson also found time to participate in numerous side bands such as "The Mighty Sweetones" and "The Dogs", and the "Les Ismore Orchestra", to name just a few. These Manson side-bands also included members of other infamous NYC bar bands such as "The Blue Chieftans", "God Street Wine", "The Five Chinese Brothers", "Mumbo Gumbo", and "The Surreal McCoys". Jono recalls several years in the mid-1980's when he played over 365 gigs a year, without ever leaving New York City. Towards the late 1980's Manson did, however, begin touring outside of New York. The Worms' two independently released albums had become favorites on college radio playlists across the midwestern USA and the group followed the trail. The band had a short-lived development deal with CBS/Epic Records, who chose not to release an album, and in 1990 they played their last show. It was also during this period Manson opened his first recording studio in Brooklyn, NY, and began recording and and producing countless other artists, an activity that he continues to this day.
In 1993 Manson, feeling that he needed a change of scenery, moved from his hometown and resettled in the mountains of northern New Mexico, where he quickly set up a new home base. In no time he was up to his old tricks, playing locally, touring nationally, writing and recording solo projects and producing music for local musicians.
In December of 1995 Manson's album "Almost Home" was released on A&M Records. The album featured, among others, members of Blues Traveler, The Allman Bros. Band, and The Rolling Thunder Review.
In the summers of 1995, 1996 and 1997 Manson played as part of the H.O.R.D.E tour alongside Sheryl Crow, Dave Mathews, Taj Mahal, Pete Droge, Lenny Kravitz, Neil Young, and many others. When not on the road with his own band, or as the lead singer for "High Plains Drifter", he could be found working the clubs in his adopted home of Santa Fe NM
In 1998 "Little Big Man", produced by Manson's old pal from his NYC days, Eric "Roscoe" Ambel (Del Lords, Steve Earle, Yayhoos), was released on Paradigm Records. That same year, the Italian label "Club de Musique" released Manson's independently produced "One Horse Town", marking the beginning of the artist's European career. Jono has toured in Europe every year since, playing gigs in Denmark, Switzerland, England, Ireland, France and of course Italy where, to date, seven of his self- produced CDs have been released.
Manson has also made many guest appearances on a many outside projects, both as a instrumentalist and vocalist, ranging from homegrown indie projects to multi-platinum albums. He has also lent his voice to a growing number of voice-overs and commercial jingles. He has also been the subject of a one hour episode of the "House of Blues Radio Hour" (in which he was interviewed by Dan Ackroyd aka Elwood Blues), as well as an episode of VH-1 "Tuned In", both of which aired nationally in the USA.
In addition to all of the above, Jono has a growing number of film and television music credits to his name. Most notably, he wrote and produced several songs for Kevin Costner's "The Postman," in which he also had an on-screen role, and his recording of "Miss Fabulous" is featured in the Farrelly Brothers' hit movie "Kingpin".
Jono Manson has perfomed and/or worked in the studio with:
Blues Traveler, Roscoe Gordon, Bo Diddley, Barrett Martin, Joan Osborne, Dr. John, Taj Mahal, Bruce Willis, Carol King, Phoebe Snow, Paul Shaeffer, Mumbo Gumbo, Wally Ingram, Amy Grant, Leland Sklar, Willie Green, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Billy Bragg, Bob Weir, Buddy Cage, Bernie Worrell, Steve Earle, Taj Mahal, Kris Kristofferson, Terry Allen, Emmylou Harris, Arlo Guthrie, Bruce Sprigsteen, Patterson Hood, Keller Williams, Eric Weissberg, Joan Baez, Toshi Reagan, Ani DiFranco, Richie Havens, Warren Haynes, Pete Seeger, Tao Rodriguez - Seeger, Chris Barron, The Holmes Brothers, Kevin Costner, Warren Haynes, Mark Clark, The James Brown Horns,Tom Brumley, Nicky Hopkins, Ian Wallace, Wally Ingram, Paolo Bonfanti, Beppe Gambetta, Eric "Roscoe" Ambel, Joe Flood, James Wormworth III, Mike Merritt, Craig Dreyer, John Popper, Howie Wyeth, Kevin Trainor, Eric Schenkman, Joe Terry, Mary Lee Kortes, Bobby Sheehan, Chan Kinchla, Steve Lindsay, Ron Sunshine, Jerry Dugger, Sharon Gilchrist, Tom Adler, Peter Williams, Will Rigby.....and many many others.

Football kills more students than school shootings
WASHINGTON, DC -- High school football killed as many students
last year as did guns -- which means politicians should either stop
using school shootings as an excuse to attack the Second Amendment or
start passing "football control" laws, the Libertarian Party said
"According to the latest statistics, a football is as deadly as
a gun," said Steve Dasbach, the party's national director. "So why do
first downs continue to be exalted while the Second Amendment continues
to be vilified?"
A new study from the National School Safety Center (NSSC)
reported that there were 15 "school-associated deaths" caused by
violent crime -- including guns -- during the 1999-2000 school year.
That number is unchanged from the 1998-1999 school year, when
15 students were killed by guns, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
There have been zero student gun deaths so far during this
school year.
By comparison, 15 high school football players died during
regular season and playoff games in 1999, according to the National
Federation of State High School Associations.
Another 11 athletes have died in high school games and
practices since late August of this year -- and that number is expected
to rise during playoffs. In addition, another 29 players this year have
suffered "catastrophic injuries" on the field, leaving them paralyzed
or seriously disabled.
These numbers have Libertarians wondering: Given the carnage on
our nation's high school football fields, why the outcry about guns --
and the utter silence about football fatalities?
"When 15 students are tragically killed by guns during a school
year, every politician and anti-gun lobbying group expresses practiced
outrage, and immediately demands new laws that infringe on the Second
Amendment," said Dasbach. "But when 15 students are tragically killed
by football, the silence is deafening.
"If the preventable death of any young person is a tragedy --
and it is -- then why wasn't there a Million Mom March demanding an end
to high school football? Why no calls from Bill Clinton for
'reasonable' football control laws? Why no saturation media coverage as
dead football players are carried off the field in stretchers? Why no
class-action lawsuits against Spaulding for manufacturing cheap
Saturday Night Special footballs?
"Could it be that politicians get more yardage attacking guns
than attacking football?"
This "outrage gap" is especially puzzling, said Dasbach,
because the Constitution doesn't guarantee an explicit right to keep
and bear footballs.
"Football is nothing more than entertainment and sport. Guns
are a Constitutionally protected civil right," he said. "While every
new gun-control law triggers a fight about the scope of the Second
Amendment, football has no such protection.
"If he wanted to, President Clinton could lobby for an absolute
ban on high school football, in order to save the lives of 15 young
people every year. The fact that he doesn't, and the fact that groups
like Handgun Control Inc. don't demand such legislation, reveals that
their real motive is not to save lives, but to advance an anti-gun
political agenda."
Of course, Libertarians wouldn't support a ban on football any
more than they support a ban on guns, said Dasbach.
"Protecting the lives of young people who play high school
football is the job of parents, school officials, and coaches, not
politicians," he said. "And protecting the Second Amendment is the job
of every American, since so many politicians have fumbled their duty to
defend the fundamental human rights -- including the right to keep and
bear arms -- guaranteed in the Constitution."
By NELSON LUND
IF the Florida Supreme Court declares that selected and subjective hand recounts should be included in the tally of that state's vote for presidential electors, the nation will be told that we must now all bow before the "rule of law." Such propaganda should be skeptically received. The rule of law is not synonymous with the rule of courts, and the courts may not get the last word on what the law is.
A little historical perspective is needed here, for the courts themselves have recently been busy promoting the false idea that they are the supreme interpreters of the law. In 1992, for example, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that the American people understand that it has the authority to "speak before all others for their constitutional ideals."
This was both presumptuous and degrading. The justices are not appointed to speak for our ideals, and they have no authority to twist the Constitution so that it fits their ideals. When a court misinterprets the law, especially for its own political purposes, respect for the rule of law requires resistance to the court's opinions, not pious acquiescence.
Resistance to erroneous judicial decisions at times requires more than polite disagreement, as some of our greatest presidents have demonstrated. When the Supreme Court decided that descendants of slaves could not become American citizens, Abraham Lincoln did not meekly defer to Chief Justice Taney's constitutional ideals. Instead, he devoted all his political skill and influence to correcting the Court's perversion of the law.
Similarly, when the Supreme Court invoked the Constitution to invalidate key elements of the New Deal program, President Roosevelt told the nation that "we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court and the Court from itself."
Some of the actions Roosevelt took may have been ill-advised, but they were perfectly legal. And he was certainly right that he had an obligation to use his authority and influence to defend the Constitution, as he himself interpreted it. Roosevelt did not cravenly treat judicial opinions as though they were the law itself, but energetically opposed those opinions that he believed were wrong and destructive.
One more example. After the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a regulation that curtailed the right of radio and TV broadcasters to exercise their editorial judgment, Congress passed a statute writing the regulation into law. President Reagan vetoed that bill because he concluded that it violated the First Amendment, and he explicitly rejected the Supreme Court's contrary interpretation of the Constitution.
The Florida controversies over dimpled chads and swinging doors may
look petty compared with some of these examples, but the election of
the president is not a trivial matter. And the Florida Legislature
may soon be called upon to emulate Lincoln, Roosevelt and Reagan.
Just over the horizon are scenarios in which elected officials may
have to exercise their own judgment about the meaning of the law,
even if the Florida courts have interpreted the law differently.
Suppose, for example, that the Florida Supreme Court compels Secretary of State Katherine Harris to accept dubious returns from selected heavily Democratic counties, and orders the slate of Gore electors to be declared the winners of the election. Additional litigation could then ensue, which might well be unresolved when the deadline for voting in the Electoral College approaches.
That situation would apparently trigger a federal statute providing that electors may be appointed in such manner as the Legislature may direct. In directing the appointment of electors, the Legislature should exercise its own independent judgment about the legal validity of any selective hand recounts endorsed by the courts.
Even if all litigation is resolved before the Electoral College deadline, Florida's Legislature may conclude that the courts applied the law incorrectly. In that case, federal law can be interpreted to authorize the Florida Legislature to direct the appointment of a different slate of electors than the one dictated by the courts.
Under these or other scenarios that can be imagined, Congress may receive two conflicting sets of electoral votes from Florida. That would generate numerous legal questions for Congress to resolve before deciding who our next president will be. Congress will decide these questions for itself, and it is therefore quite conceivable that the outcome of this presidential election will be determined by legal judgments made by legislative bodies in Tallahassee and Washington.
Would such a result be consistent with the "rule of law," even if these legislatures reject the legal opinions of the Florida courts? Let's hope that those who were so very pleased with the U.S. Senate's decision in President Clinton's trial for high crimes and misdemeanors will not suddenly decide that only courts can make valid legal judgments.

One of America's greatest Thanksgiving hymns is "We Gather Together"--a song which never loses its relevance. The hymn was first sung by Dutch settlers around 1625. The song was translated in English by Edward Kremser in 1877, and has been an American standard ever since.
Lyrics vary from songbook to songbook. The lyrics below are from the New American Songbook, by Marx & Ann Oberndorffer (Chicago: Hall & McCreary, 1941).
"We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing,
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing,
Sing praises to His name - He forgets not His own.
Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine,
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side, all glory be Thine.
We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader in battle,
And pray that Thou still our defender wilt be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation!
Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!"
Every week in America, many dozens of murders, rapes, robberies,
and assaults are deterred or foiled because Second Amendment activists
have done so much to restore the right to bear arms. If you have been
part of this great struggle for constitutional rights, you should take
some satisfaction from knowing how many people you have saved. Most
Second Amendment activists know that they are on the pro-choice side
of the issue. It's important to remember that for the Second Amendment,
the pro-choice side is also the same as the pro-life side. Despite
all the tribulations of fighting for freedom, Second Amendment supporters
are saving more and more lives every day. So give thanks.
That's all folks!

Butcher (a man who's wife was raped and killed by a super hero), Mothers Milk (a man who is forced to feed off his own mother's breast for his powers), Frenchman (a strange animal like man with unknown origin), the Female (of the Species) (a mute but deadly assassin with no past) and of course...poor Wee Hughie.In an interview, Garth Ennis had stated the series "may last up to 72 issues" and that it "will out-preacher PREACHER".Publishers#1-6: WildStorm (DC Imprint)#7-72: Dynamite EntertainmentSpin-OffsThe Boys had three spin-off minis, they were collected as volumes in The Boys series rather then as stand-alone stories.HerogasmHighland LaddieButcher, Baker, CandlestickmakerTrade PaperbacksVolume One: The Name of the Game (#1-6)The Boys Omnibus Volume One (#1-14)Volume Two: Get Some (#7-14)Volume Three: Good for the Soul (#15-22)The Boys Omnibus Volume Two (#15-30)Volume Four: We Gotta Go Now (#23-30)Volume Five: Herogasm (The Boys: Herogasm #1-6)Volume Six: The Self-Preservation Society (#31-38)The Boys Omnibus Volume Three (#31-38)Volume Seven: The Innocents (#39-47)The Boys Omnibus Volume Four (#39-47)Volume Nine: The Big Ride (#48-59)The Boys Omnibus Volume Five (#48-59)Volume Eleven: Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men (#60-65)Volume Twelve: The Bloody Doors Off (#66-72)Definitive Edition HardcoversVolume One (#1-14)Volume Two (#15-30)Volume Three (#31-38 and The Boys: Herogasm #1-6)Volume Four (#39-47 and The Boys: Highland Laddie #1-6)Volume Five (#48-59 and The Boys: Butcher, Baker, Candlestickmaker #1-6)Volume Six (#60-72)Digital OmnibusVolume One (#1-22)Volume Two (#23-47)Volume Three (#48-72) Font-sizeParagraphHeader 4Header 3Header 2 Quote Link Img Table TweetRemove FormatClean sizeSMLpositionLCRUDchangeCreditDeletesizeSMpositionLRUDchangetitle 1title 2captiondelete×Edit Image TitleTitle: CancelUpdate×Embed ImageWhat size image should we insert?

Last month, Sony revealed the Killzone PS4 bundle, which will include a copy of Killzone: Shadow Fall, two DualShock 4 controllers and the PS4 Camera. During the Gamescom event, Sony hinted at the possibility of more PS4 bundles being available at launch, and know thanks to GAME, we finally know what bundles will be available at launch.
GAME has sent an email to all customers who pre-ordered prior to 6th of August, offering their customers the possibility of chosing 1 of 6 bundles (which can be seen above) and add it to their order. Those that are contacted by GAME have until the 5th of October to decide on a bundle, after that the retailer will assume that the customer isn't interested in the bundles and will begin offering them to the next customers in line.
The PS4 will be released on the 15th of November in North America, arriving at Europe two weeks later, on the 29th of November. Is there any particular bundle that interests you? Share your opinion in the comments below.

"Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me." Matthew 18:5
What would it mean if our church and families were known as the people who adopt babies, toddlers, children and teenagers. What if we as Christians were known as the people who take in orphans and make of them beloved sons and daughters?
Russell Moore, Adopted For Life
Truly - What if? Orphans are dear to God's heart and He is calling us to stand in the gap in some way. Adoption just may be that way!!! :)
Where ever you are in your adoption journey we want to support and encourage you!!
When God puts the desire on your heart to adopt, just the idea is like protecting precious jewels. The words spoken to your heart by God about His call and desire for you to bring a child or children into your family through adoption are protected in your heart before you share it with anyone.
You will know when it is time to move forward in contacting agencies. Each step of the way ask God to confirm His will for your family:
-Which agency?
-Domestic or International?
-An older child, toddler or baby?
-Open or closed adoption?
The choices can seem overwhelming, but you will feel God's peace as you take steps in the right direction.
While you are waiting to be matched or are waiting for your child to come home it is good to connect with other families who have adopted. It is important to have a support network of friends that you can call when your child comes home. Some transitions to home and family life are uneventful, others are more challenging. Having that support network already in place will be a blessing.
We have a support group that meets at Timberline once a month. We can also help you connect with other support groups in Northern Colorado.

It's huge because it's a blanket, not an afghan. If you wanted smaller, you should have had Tali order a throw. Of course, the blanket I'm making for Karen will be less than 1/2 the size of yours. (Since my user name was taken I'll try this one

This blanket should fit a King sized bed with no problem. Definitely fits a Queen, hits the floor on a double and can be doubled for a twin.
Wash it in cold water and add vinegar to the wash to keep the colors from running. It is machine dryable.

Now I have to laugh. I've been reading the reviews from the blanket on my fb page. Since I really didnt' know how to describe TM to people, I just said "friend". Figure it was the easiest way and sounded better than "that guy" or "the guy who owns the website the blanket represents.
This is the review.
Special blanket for a special friend I would say. I've been eyeing it, looks great on display & I'm sure there is a story behind each patch.
Now, this lady lived the town I worked in. Not on my route, so I didn't know her and really only started talking to her recently. I knew who she was and where she lived, but that's not hard to know when you are a mail carrier. Newtown is a very small, close knit town, compromising of Newtown, Sandy Hook (which was made famous by the Hook shooting), Botsford and Hawleyville. It' the kind of town where everyone knows everyone. Guess you could say a family type of place. Anyway, this lady lives in the hoity toity section of Newtown....you know the kind, with the multimillion dollar homes Getting her to say something nice really is a big deal. LOL
Anyway, this was my answer to her:
Each patch represents a different person that belongs to the group The person I made if for is a very nice guy and would give you the shirt off his back. He is the one that owns this group and I thought it would be a nice surprise and something he would treasure forever..
No, I didnt' tell her the real story behind it. Only a very select few will ever know that story, But I will say that there were a lot of memories tied up in that blanket....some good and some bad. Yes, I added in my name only at Tali's insistence, as I did not feel that it should be ont here. I still don't, but that is another story all together.
So TM, enjoy your blanket and know that there are many people that really do care for you and ar in your corner. Yes, in the few pictures i did post of this from TM's picture (and I do thank you for that), many people loved it. Matter of fact, it brought me back with a friend that you all know.
So, I do say thanks for allowing me the chance to be in the group and for the memories and the ability to make this blanket.
Yes, TM, you aren't a bad guy. At least not the side of you I've seen lately. (bet you never expected to hear that from me.)

While I think of it, I do want to credit TNT for his contribution to the logo. He told a story, which came to mind while I was working on the logo, So, I did some additions, then showed them to karen for her approval. From there, I decided to add just a tad more from TNT's story and a couple things of my own which were not on Karen's original logo. I did run them all by Karen, even though she did give me permission to make whatever changes i wanted and do what I wanted with her logo. So just wanted to say thanks to both of them and acknowledge them.

What TM failed to mention on this is that it came from "The island" and not from me. Those that I was able to contact saw it around the time it was mailed, although a few saw parts of it as a WIP. Not to mention, I believe the return address said The Island and wasn't my address. LOL I knew I should have mailed it in Seymour like I was going to.
Re: Stunned
on Mon Jun 15, 2015 6:15 pm by TM
Yeah that return address threw me off for at least 30 seconds.
And thank you all for the blanket CT made.

My Blog
Posts for: February, 2015
When her daughter Ashby was born in 2007, Nancy O'Dell was overjoyed; but she found the experience of pregnancy to be anxiety-provoking. O'Dell is host of the popular entertainment news show Entertainment Tonight.
After her baby was born she compiled her memories and thoughts into a book for first-time pregnant mothers. The book, "Full of Life: Mom to Mom Tips I Wish Someone Had Told Me When I Was Pregnant," covers a wide range of topics — including oral health during pregnancy.
"While my dental health has always been relatively normal, pregnancy did cause me some concern about my teeth and gums. With my dentist's advice and treatment, the few problems I had were minimized," O'Dell told Dear Doctor magazine. An example of her experience is a craving for milk that started at about the time the baby's teeth began to form. She felt that her body was telling her to consume more calcium.
As often happens with pregnant mothers, she developed sensitive gums and was diagnosed with "pregnancy gingivitis," the result of hormonal changes that increase blood flow to the gums.
"I love to smile," said O'Dell, "and smiles are so important to set people at ease, like when you walk into a room of people you don't know. When you genuinely smile you're able to dissolve that natural wall that exists between strangers."
Contact us today to schedule an appointment to discuss your questions about dental health during pregnancy. You can also learn more by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Nancy O'Dell."
For a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums, it takes a lifetime of personal and professional care. Starting your child's daily hygiene with the first tooth eruption is a must; but you should also consider beginning regular dental visits in their early years, around or before their first birthday.
There's evidence that early dental visits hold a number of benefits that could lead to reduced oral care costs over their lifetime.
Familiarity with professional dental care. Children need to feel comfortable and safe in their surroundings, especially new places. Beginning dental visits early improves the chances your child will view the dentist's office as a regular part of their life. It's especially helpful if the dental professional has training and experience with young children to put them at ease.
Early monitoring for dental disease or other problems. A young child's teeth are highly susceptible to tooth decay. Dental visits that begin early in a child's life increase our chances of detecting any developing dental problems early. In addition to treating decayed teeth, your child may also need preventative actions like sealants or additional fluoride applications to protect teeth if they are at a higher risk for disease. As the child develops, we may also be able to catch early bite problems: with interventional treatment, it may be possible to reduce future orthodontic costs.
Parental help and support. As we discuss your child's dental care with you, we'll be able to provide essential information and training for how to care for their teeth and gums at home. We'll also be able to ease any common concerns you may have, such as thumb sucking or other oral habits, as well as give you sound advice and techniques for dealing with these problems.
As with other areas of childhood development, starting off on the right foot with oral care can make all the difference to their future dental health. The sooner you begin regular dental visits with your toddler, the better their chances for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
If you would like more information on dental care for children, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Taking the Stress out of Dentistry for Kids."

Eva Krick presents a comprehensive assessment of input- and output-related dimensions of democratic legitimacy in her recent article. The study challenges the widespread assumption that the decision rule of 'consensus', whereby decisions are made by 'tacit consent', grants veto power to each participant.
This paper discusses decision-making by 'tacit consent' and its democratic qualities, arguing that this decision mode suffers from power asymmetries and opacity.

Last Monday Judy was over at our house to help watch B because I had my hair appointment on Tuesday. So Monday afternoon Landon and I decided to have a little date at the park. We went to Sonic first to get a drink and then went to the Gassville park.
So here are some of our park pictures.
We had to swing in all 3 swings they had.
We went over the bridge a few times.
He liked riding this horse...which why wouldn't he...he's a cowboy!
Here is the big, twirly slide that took him awhile to go down. I'm trying to toughen him up. He finally went down it (about 10 times) and then he realized he could crawl back up it. He had fun!
It was kind of hot if you couldn't tell from his sweaty hair.
We had a lot of fun and we will definitely continue having our park dates.

text: I am open to what works for others and understand that one lifestyle doesn't fit all. I just enjoyed this interview and was inspired by what this doctor shares with this way of eating and living, especially the results his patients are having. For those of you on the fence or curious, just give a look see.
