I usually get into shows like this because of the characters and complicated relationships, but it usually takes longer to develop. It's amazing how quickly I've gotten into our heroes on Sleepy Hollow.
Abbie and her sister Jenny, for instance. We learned a lot about Jenny this time, and most specifically, that she knew she was a danger to Abbie, so she sacrificed her freedom over and over to keep Abbie safe. And yet, she didn't deny what the demon said about wanting Abbie dead. I so want things to work out with Jenny and her newly repaired relationship with her sister, but they're giving us hint anvils that she won't survive the season finale next week. Damn.
Frank Irving felt responsible for his daughter's accident and permanent disability and kept trying to fix things and protect her, very understandable for a parent. And yet, when Macey was endangered and even when she went all Linda Blair, Frank kept his head while those around him were having theirs twisted off, kept the demon away from the Washington Bible, and trusted Ichabod and Abbey to save Macey. In the end, Frank was finally able to acknowledge Macey's inner strength, and accept her as she is. I like Frank more with every episode and was worried that he would die, especially after that set-up scene with the priest in the previous episode. I even thought Macey and/or Cynthia might die, too. Maybe Cynthia will turn into an ally now. Our heroes certainly need all they can get.
Before I get to my favorite part, I should probably talk about the demon Ancitif. Despite the fact that it was an obvious Exorcist homage with Supernatural trappings, I thought it was still pretty effective. I kept yelling at them that they needed holy water and salt and that they should have realized anyone could be possessed. I especially thought it was creepy that it preferred to possess children, and that it skipped from body to body faster than fleas.
You know what my favorite part was, don't you? The opener with Abbie choosing clothes for Ichabod was adorable and I giggled through the whole thing. I completely understand why he was reluctant to give up his old clothes, though. He's stuck in a strange place and a strange time, and changing how he looks will take him even farther from who he was. And Abbie got that. The lack of conflict between them isn't boring — it's lovely.
And yet, I completely believe that something will make this whole Moloch soul betrayal thing happen in the finale next week. And I don't like it. Gee, I can tell I'm a lot more into this show than I was just weeks ago.
Bits and pieces:
-- One thing they could have done to make the audience a bit more tense is not make the demon transferring from body to body quite so obvious. They pretty much hit us over the head with it.
-- Woo hoo for a flashback with Clancy Brown!
-- Is Morales dead?
-- This week's man-out-of-time bits were the concentrated lemon and the skinny jeans. I wish he'd stayed in them. The jeans, that is.
-- Flashback to Benjamin Franklin! He's one of my favorite historical characters. I hope they bring him back.
-- Seventeenth century invisible ink, with glow worms. Cool.
-- December 18th, 1799. Washington didn't die when they said he did?
-- Ichabod knows ancient Aramaic?
-- I thought Ichabod still looked like Ichabod in modern clothes. Maybe it's the clubbed ponytail.
Quotes, and note what they all have in common:
Abbie: (seeing Ichabod in modern clothes) "Hell hath frozen over."
Ichabod: "Indeed."
Abbie: "You ever heard of a boondoggle?"
Ichabod: "If it's another type of constrictive trouser, I'd rather not."
Abbie: "If you're going to keep wearing that damn thing, I have two words for you. Dry cleaning."
Ichabod: "Pick two words I understand."
Ichabod: "Got it!"
Abbie: "Did you find something?"
Ichabod: "The pause button."
Abbie: "Mastering the remote. You are officially a modern man."
Abbie: "Crane, remind me later to have a chat about what your founding friends were thinking when they crafted our right to bear arms."
Ichabod: "True. There was concern among us that it could lead to perverse consequences."
Ripped from the headlines.
Abbie: "The place is booby trapped."
Ichabod: "That sounds unpleasant."
Another good episode, and it definitely felt penultimatey. Three out of four glow worms,

Uphams Corner Health Center staff member recognized for her work to promote literacy
(Image courtesy Uphams Corner Health Center)
The associate medical director of the Uphams Corner Health Center will be recognized by an area non-profit for her work to promote literacy.
Dr. Elise Henricks will be presented with the Medical Champion of the Year award at a ceremony May 7 by Reach-Out and Read, a local non-profit organization that works with medical providers to boost early literacy rates and encourage school readiness in pediatric exam rooms.
"I have witnessed the power of this program to introduce families to a love of reading," Henricks, a Dorchester resident, said in a statement.
Through the program Henricks "prescribed" books to children to encourage families to read together and share stories. Over the past year Dorchester's Uphams Corner Health Center has distributed close to a 1,000 books to area children, according to Reach-Out and Read.
"One of the best parts of my job is handing a book to a child and seeing the joy and wonder in her eyes as she begins to explore it. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to take time to be together, which we need now more than ever in our community," she added.
Although Henricks will be honored in May, Dennis Lehane, a bestselling author, Dorchester native, and supporter of the program, made a stop at the health center Monday to tour the facility, congratulate Henricks, and talk with staff and patients.
Established in 1971, the Uphams Corner Health Center officially opened on Columbia Road in 1973. The center provides high-quality, low-cost, culturally sensitive medical and social services to the surrounding communities including Roxbury and Dorchester, according to its website.

The NYPD says the little girl was reunited with her parents, but she was left alone inside St. Catherine's Park on the Upper East Side for 3 hours.
Police say during that 3 hours she was not reported missing by her daycare or school.
While unattended a nanny noticed her and called 911. The little girl told police she was on a field trip with her class and got separated but only knew that her teacher name was "Miss Vicki" but did not know what school she was with.
The little girl who said her name was Chloe was given ice cream and bubbles to calm her down while officers called nearby schools.
After 3 p.m. a woman was escorted to the park by police and she left with the little girl.
"She said the camp left her, so we bought her ice cream and gave her water and called the police," said one Eyewitness.
The NYPD has not said what daycare or school she attends but said the field trip was with 10 kids.

Allegheny Technologies Earnings Curbed by Lower Volumes
Allegheny Technologies Inc. (ATI), a supplier of specialty metals to Boeing Co. (BA), said third-quarter earnings were curbed by lower shipments and prices.
Excluding its tungsten-materials business, which is being sold, Allegheny will post a loss of 27 cents to 30 cents a share for the period, the Pittsburgh-based company said today in a statement. Sales, excluding tungsten, were about $970 million, it said.
Jet-engine manufacturers continued to reduce inventories in the quarter, hurting demand for metal components, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rich Harshman said in the statement. Global economic uncertainties affected demand for the company's flat-rolled products while margins on stainless-steel products were squeezed by higher raw-material costs, he said.
Allegheny also said that after completing a strategic review, it closed its fabricated-products business and decided to sell its iron-casting unit. As a result, it will take a $9 million pretax charge in the third quarter, largely comprising a writedown on asset, the company said.
Kennametal Inc. (KMT) agreed in September to buy Allegheny's tungsten-materials unit, which makes counterweights and industrial alloys, for $605 million. Allegheny said today it expects the deal to close in the fourth quarter.
Allegheny dropped 1.8 percent to $30.37 at 10:07 a.m. in New York. The company is scheduled to report third-quarter earnings on Oct. 23.

text: Firstly, I must stress I'm no expert when it comes to photography. I just enjoy it and love capturing those elusive shots. I bought a G5 back in July of this year, just prior to going on honeymoon. Compared to my previous camera - a Kodak CD290 - it had a lot more features, and so it took a short while to get familiar with everything it could do. The things I particularly like about it are the good battery life, the swivel display screen (meaning that I can take photographs from more unusual angles than I might with a fixed display) and the ability to add a lens adaptor and get closer in on the action. The only gripe which I've noticed so far is that with the additional Canon zoom lens, I lose a significant portion of the view on the corners when I 'pan out'. I had read about this before buying it though so it came as no surprise. For me, it gives me a 'point and click' camera but also more advanced features to get 'stuck into' when I have time, which you don't get from the budget range. I picked up the basics of the camera fairly quickly but I am still at the learning stage with many of the features. All in all, I'm delighted with the purchase. Within a week of getting it, I was capturing shots like these! No masterpieces, I don't suppose, but some OK first efforts perhaps. If you are interested, you will find more shots - and video footage - pretty much all shot with the G5 camera (one or two were with the Kodak DC290 but very few) - on our Africa Honeymoon website. Regards Aaron

It seems that Elin bought the private $2 million home late last year, and it was in need of some major TLC, which Elin is definitely putting into it.
Rumors say that Elin might make major renovation on the property due to fact that she might leave Tiger and move back to Sweden in summer.
While Tiger Woods returned to competitive golf at last week's Masters, his wife, Elin couldn't be found.
Whatever the reason, they're taking separate vacations right now, and while you can't count out a reunion, things have definitely been on a downward trajectory.

The Townsfolk of Templeton g g g g g g g 1864 No, they didn't want the school. The town was noisy enough, what with the hammering down at the tinshop making a rhythm to which Templeton had adjusted its pace for forty years. It wasn't that the townsfolk were ungrateful to John Boynton or that they were unsympathetic to education. They had supported a high school for several years, long before other towns of their size had voted such munificence. An unusually large number of their boys had traveled great distances to go to college, and some of them were giving Templeton a reputation for breeding brilliant sons. Christopher Columbus Baldwin had become librarian of the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester. And just two years before, in 1862, Jonathan Turner had brought credit to Temple ton when the nation had adopted his plan for federally-supported state institutions to be known as land-grant colleges. Now the young Alden boy down on the Partridgeville Road was soon to enter the Scientific School at Harvard. George Alden's mother deserved a lot of credit. Although this year, for the first time, the town records had listed the boy now that he was old enough to pay a poll tax, there was no one to breathe a whisper of criticism in face of the dignity with which Priscilla Alden had brought up her son. She had been accorded every possible courtesy and had been given the five-hundreddollar tax exemption usually reserved for widows. When she had had to mortgage the homestead farm, the words had blazed out from the page almost in defiance: "Know all men, I, Priscilla E. Alden of Templeton, single woman . . ." But she wore no scarlet letter. Often young George had climbed the hill to the maple stump marking the boundary line of the Turner farm, there to look across the valley toward the mountain which separated him from an unknown world. All his life he had lived in the shadow of this mountain. Now Wachusett seemed almost friendly, for soon he would be able to walk around to its other side. This was what "going to school" helped boys to do. How George Alden could manage to go to college there was no one brash enough to question. He had worked for several months in the chair factory, and he planned to live with his Uncle Harvey, overseer of the Union Railroad stable in Cambridge. But even so, going to college was almost a precedent and it did cost money. It was possible that someone was helping the boy. Perhaps even John Boynton was planning to pay the bills. He had been known to
New England is probably the only country in the world, where every man, generally speaking, has or can have the means—that is, the money, the intelligence, the knowledge, the power—to choose his career; to say where he will live, what profession he will follow, what position he will occupy. —Samuel Griswold Goodrich, 1857
He [Boynton] wished to make the avails of his industry a permanent means of aiding the young in obtaining advantages and privileges in preparing for active life which had been beyond his reach. —David Whitcomb There has been scarce anything which could be called education for practical life. —Edward Everett, 1869
He [John Boynton] was always thoroughly devoted to his business and gave less thought to other matters. —History of Worcester County, 1889
help many a such lad, and he had an obsession—not that every boy should go to school, but that every boy should be given a chance to go. Recently Mr. Boynton had given ten thousand dollars to the town of Mason in New Hampshire, his birthplace, for the support of the common schools. He did not know that a coterie of grateful students would one day climb the winding hills to that little town, there to erect for him a memorial stone with the inscription: "He opened the door of opportunity to youth." There was now a rumor that Mr. Boynton intended to establish a special kind of school, different from the public schools, for boys who planned to be manufacturers and mechanics, or even farmers, instead of lawyers, clergymen, or physicians. No wonder the townsfolk of Templeton declared it "all nonsense." What was wrong with the old apprentice system that had served so long so well? No, they really didn't want the school. But they might have to take it, because no one was in a position to refuse Mr. Boynton. There was scarcely anyone in town to whom he had not loaned money at one time or another. Even the town had borrowed from him, and the State, and other towns, and other States. For two years he had been president of a bank. He was listed as owning more than one-eighth of the town property. And the books in the County Courthouse revealed him as being the grantor and grantee of nearly one hundred and fifty pieces of land. Even now, when he no longer lived in Templeton and his business had been transferred to other persons for almost twenty years, the big white-pillared house on the Common with its second-story door opening nowhere, reminded the townsfolk of John Boynton. "You ought to build a veranda up there," advised a bystander, when the house was being built. Although this had been his original intention, John Boynton was incensed at the interference and vowed no upstairs veranda would ever be added. No one was going to tell him what to do. Now John Boynton was all alone in the world, and childless. He was getting old, reaching his seventy-third birthday on May 31 of this year, 1864. People thought him sometimes dour and strange. As so often happened, he had lost touch with his eight brothers and sisters. His money, as well as his time, lay heavy on his hands, and he had become almost a recluse in his personal habits. Mr. Boynton lived now in Leominster with relatives of his first wife, but he often came back to visit the town which had, for him, "opened the door of opportunity." Sometimes he traced the trail back to the day in 1825, when he had first arrived in Templeton. As miles go, the little town had not been far from his New Hampshire home in Mason or from New Ipswich, where he first learned about making tinware. But it had been far enough away to give him, at thirty-four, a new start in life and to initiate many another future far off into other centuries. When John Boynton started his shop in Templeton, there was no more promising a business in America—for two reasons. It in-
volved the manufacture of tin products and it involved peddling. Tinware had just begun to supersede crockery. This was no light succession, for compared to the thousands of ingenious articles used by the householder in the eighteenth century, the gadgetry of the twentieth seems almost inconsequential. Before 1820 the few pieces of tinware in this country were considered as treasures, high priced and highly prized. With the importation of cassiterite, the raw material from which tinware is made, and the discovery of a small quantity of it in this country, tinware became popular. Its shiny cleanness appealed to housewives who were tired of the drab pewter, black iron, and heavy crockery with which their buttery shelves had been burdened. Making tinware was an extremely uncomplicated process, requiring no more than an anvil, hammer, and a charcoal fire to heat the soldering iron. In fact, John Boynton had first set up a shop in his own room at the Templeton Tavern. When later a device was invented by which it was possible to stamp out the pieces of tin (much as if making a batch of cookies), production began to catch up with demand. Tinware became less costly, more decorative, and John Boynton erected two shops, one for stamping out the tin and the other for adding color and design. The woodenware of a previous age was split into kindling; crockery was relegated to the root cellars. Every household need seemed to adapt itself well to tin, with its articles ranging from foot warmers, churns, bathtubs, candlesticks, roasters, milk pails, pots and pans, and chests, to lanterns, trunks, and farm implements. There was little waste in the manufacturing process, with the scrap pieces of tin being hammered into nutmeg graters, jewelry, and toys. Probably nothing increased production so much as the Government's order for canteens and army utensils. Templeton became a prosperous town. It had no more people than did Worcester, the shire town of the County, but far greater promise, chiefly because it could boast of almost twice as many mill privileges as could Worcester. Moreover, there were many valuable by-products from the tin shop. Scores of townspeople worked in the shop itself, hammering, soldering, varnishing, and polishing. There were always "floaters" who roomed and boarded in the big house on the corner of the Common. Then there were the carts, the harnesses, the horses—all necessary for the distribution of tinware—to say nothing of the occupation given to as many as a hundred men on the road, who traveled north to the Canadian line and as far south as New York. These men were called "pedlars," a word which in a hundred years would change its spelling and lose much of its prestige. In the early eighteen hundreds, pedlars were the proudest men in the land, responsible for much of the country's distribution and communication. Sometimes pedlars acted as real estate agents, arranging for the sale of farms, of livestock, and lumber lots. Pedlars were always welcome in New England. Never did they
The profit is greater than that which is made by the sale of any other merchandise of equal value. —Timothy Dwight, speaking of tinware
Only once did I stop at a hotel. —Pedlar, after forty years
David Whitcomb
As regards my own history, I would say I left Hancock when quite a lad, with pack on my back and staff in my hand, without father or mother, and without home and no one to care for me. —David Whitcomb, 1882
He [David Whitcomb] was one of the best types of New England character, faithful and true and strong and wise. —George F. Hoar, 1887
have to pay more for a night's lodging than a tea kettle or a dishpan, and these were considered as gifts rather than payment. The business itself was negotiated with barter of every conceivable product that could be made or owned by a householder. On Saturday nights the tincarts would rumble back into town dragging an unwieldy mowing machine or hay rake. There were sure to be several hens, a couple of hound puppies, or a turkey gobbler. There were butter and cheese, eggs and maple syrup, butternuts and chestnuts, honey and spruce gum, homespun woolens, furs and mittens, hides and yarns. One pedlar reported his payment ran the gamut from sewing needles to silos. Templeton became a veritable merchandising center, but the chief medium of exchange for the Boynton carts was rags and paper, always in great demand by paper manufacturers. For twenty years John Boynton's business prospered so handsomely that he decided to retire in 1846. He relinquished the ownership of the shops, but never his interest. This was not an awkward continuation, for the new owner was no one less than his own cousin, David Whitcomb. Genealogy reached a precarious point when it came to David Whitcomb, by such slight margin was he even included in John Boynton's story. Four times married, David's father was seventy-five years old when this twelfth child was born to John Boynton's Aunt Abigail. When David Whitcomb first asked his older cousin for work in the Templeton shops, John Boynton, no party to nepotism, refused to hire him. Later, in 1830, he called the boy back. He may have had plans for David, but it hardly seemed so when David was required to make several payless trips on the road to prove his worth. In the first year of his apprenticeship, David Whitcomb earned only a hundred dollars, a vest pattern, his room and board. But in the next year the two cousins became partners. In the next, David took charge of all the carts and also a branch of the business in Leominster. Much like his predecessor, David Whitcomb decided to retire after twenty years of the tinware business. He, too, had what was considered an ample fortune. No one, not even David Whitcomb, would have guessed that two of his biggest business ventures were still ahead of him. The tinware business was kept in the family, transferring to Mr. Whitcomb's son-in-law. The shops continued to thrive, watched over with close scrutiny by both Mr. Boynton and Mr. Whitcomb. Several new buildings were added, and there were still twenty men in Templeton who made a very good living as pedlars. A few pedlars who had retired had meanwhile become influential men in business. Significantly, several of them had become bankers. But something was disturbing the monopoly of the tinware shop in Templeton. Every day, when the four-horse wagon with its extended sides made its trips to Otter River to pick up and deliver
freight, the townsfolk were reminded of the change. Puffing into town with the steam engine there had come a new way of life. People were moving about with great ease, not only because of railroads but also because of better roads. Merchandising had been revolutionized by mail order houses such as the Salisbury store in Worcester. And already there were signs that tinware might not always be so popular. Just as in an earlier year, when tinware had pushed crockery and stoneware into the background, it was now feeling the nudge from glass, from steel and from other metals. Even the town of Templeton had not grown as had been expected. Of all the towns in the County, Worcester had taken the lead, becoming a City in 1848. Now it had as many as 25,000 persons. It was to this City of Worcester that David Whitcomb moved in 1854, becoming a partner in a hardware business which prospered in spectacular fashion during the Civil War. Now he was working hard to set up the unprecedented manufacture of envelopes. He had arranged to finance a machine which would not only cut envelope blanks but also fold and glue them, all in one operation. But he had not yet disposed of the hardware business. It was in this store on the corner of Main and Pearl Streets that John Boynton found David Whitcomb one day in the fall of 1864. Mr. Boynton was restless, drifting about from one relative to another. For one term he had been prevailed upon to serve as Representative in the General Court, but he had not further pursued a political career. "Not agreeing with the assessors" in Templeton, he had lived in Phillipston for a time, then in Athol. Periodically, however, he had gone back to be listed as a resident of Templeton. After all, Templeton was home. This was perhaps where he should provide the school of which he so often dreamed. He wanted to talk about this school to Emory Washburn, who had been Governor of the State at the time Mr. Boynton was president of the Miller's River Bank. But perhaps it would be easier to talk to David. So it was, that fall day of 1864, when John Boynton came to visit David Whitcomb. He spoke modestly in terms of "a few thousand dollars," and he mentioned Templeton, or perhaps even Mason. He could see the wisdom of Mr. Whitcomb's suggestion, however, that Worcester might be a better location. Worcester was becoming a city of manufacturing and needed just the kind of school he had in mind. But he made two strict stipulations. First of all, his part of the plan must be kept a secret. Secondly, he would give the money "for endowment and perpetual support" only if the citizens of Worcester thought enough of the idea to provide the land and buildings for such a school. Fair enough, thought David Whitcomb. It was a secret carefully guarded for almost three years, until after John Boynton's death. He never knew that one day so many people would know.

How do you follow your heart when it feels divided? Stacy Keller had always said no to good-looking guys, until Jeromy wormed his way past her resistances. She discovered that, beneath the handsome facade that had all the other girls chasing him, he was caring and generous. She'd never wantto hurt such a kind man. When his job sends him back to Texas, she leaves her native Tulsa to move with him.
If only she hadn't met Billy Snow, Jeromy's childhood friend. Her attraction to him feels like water flowing to meet water, a destiny burieddeep in her cells. But is it real and lasting? Should she stifle her desire for Billy to save her relationship with Jeromy, the man she thought was perfect for her? While she's deciding, what does fate have in store for her? She hadn't known love would hurt so much.

"Be still my heart"
It's hard to answer a question like this without giving away spoilers so I guess I'll just say what I loved best is that it's nice to read a romance novel with a love triangle that doesn't lead to lies and cheating. I'm not someone who would ever do that myself so I like a character with some character.
There are a few other rock and roll fantasy stories like Fall For Me, Effortless, but this one isn't really exactly like either of them just happens to also include a story with a sexy guy who is in a band.
I've never heard anything with TL Gray prior to this story but thought she did a good job.
I cried like a baby towards the end of the book. I was really surprised at the turn the book took. Obviously like most romance readers I like my happy ending and thought for awhile there, I wasn't going to get it. I was however pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the twist the book took to take you to the very final ending.
It was a sweet story about love and the struggle to do the right thing. I liked it.
"A Hot Mess."
I was all set to listen to a triangle love story. Wonder who Stacy would end up with after a back an forth time. The beginning starts out with that feeling. Then they get to Houston and Stacy starts acting a bit slutty. Even going so far as getting a lap dance from a girl. One would think that would lead into an interesting moment of conflict with one of the 3 but nothing. Making that whole long scene unnecessary. Stacy spends more than half of the book with Jeremy & for the most part happy, flirty with Billy in a way that makes her seem like just a two timing tramp and then after Stacy jumps to the wrong conclusion about Jeremy….That's when she realizes she loves Billy. Not a well thought out story in my opinion.

Experienced Westwood ready
Playing in his eighth consecutive Ryder Cup, Lee Westwood is the most experienced member of José María Olazábal's European side and the Englishman is ready to act a leader both and off the course.
Having made his debut 15 years ago at Valderrama in Spain, Westwood has been on a winning European side on five occasions since, winning a total of 19 valuable points in the process, and the World Number Four recognises his role as European talisman while insisting it that it is Captain Olazábal who holds the reins at Medinah.
"I'm the most experienced player on the team, but José Maria is the leader," said Westwood, who was full of praise for the Spaniard with just two days left until the competition proper begins.
"Even if you set The Ryder Cup captain thing aside, I just think he's a really great fella. He's a good, solid man. He's honest. He'll tell you what he thinks. He's calculated.
"And then you bring into it his passion and his flair, I guess a bit of the Spanish influence there, and the fact that he's played in numerous Ryder Cups, teamed up with Seve Ballesteros, and that's bound to have rubbed off on him a little bit. He's the all round package."
Westwood, a rookie under the stewardship of Ballesteros in 1997, has since then served under a plethora of golfing greats in the biennial contest and the Worksop man knows on a personal level that it is equally as important to act as a leader both in golfing terms and in the team room.
"I think both are equally as important really," said the 39 year old. "This is my eighth Ryder Cup and eighth different Captain, so I've experienced more than any other player I think in Ryder Cup history, different captains at different Ryder Cups, and seen the way different captains do it.
"The way they do it right and maybe some mistakes that captains make – because everybody makes mistakes. You're not going to get it right all the time.
"If I'm asked my opinion, then I'll give it. It will be considered – I won't say educated – but I'd have a fair amount of background and knowledge of the experience."
During the second day of practice in the Chicago suburb, there was plenty of talk of potential partners for Westwood the opening Foursomes and Fourball Matches with Spaniard Sergio Garcia's name firmly in the mix.
The duo has played together eight times in their Ryder Cup careers, claiming an impressive six points in the process so Olazábal could be certainly considering a reprisal come Friday morning.
"Sergio is a world class players and one of the best Ryder Cup players I've certainly partnered," Westwood commented.
"He helped me at The Belfry when I was struggling with my game. He was the bouncy sort of exuberant partner that I probably needed to take my mind off the seriousness of The Ryder Cup and just sort of go out and just hit the ball and find it and hit it again and try and make a few putts.
"He's great for that. He's good fun in the team room and he's very passionate about The Ryder Cup. He gets stuck in."

This is a 2 in 1 case. First, it is a Hard Plastic durable snug fitted case for your iPhone 4. Second, it has an attachable door to put your Credit Cards in. We have found many things can fit in the door not only credit cards. Drivers License, Business cards, Health Insurance Cards, Concert Tickets, Sporting Event Tickets, Gum, Coat Check Tickets, Folded Cash, Hotel Room Keys, Keys, and anything else that you can think of thats under 4 inches and not too thick.
Unlike other wallet cases, no one knows that this case carries Credit cards because you cannot see them. They are fully hidden out of site, which makes this case safer than the others.
Through research and development we have found that when the door is attached to the case, if the case is dropped, it tends to fall on the back side of the phone first. This helps prevent the phone from cracking the glass. This case is very durable because of the plastic we use to make it. It is also a sleek snug fitted case intended to make your life easier by eliminating the need to carry your wallet.
This is the perfect gift for everyone. Get your friends and family organized this year and give her this one of a kind case!

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — One.IU, Indiana University's new app store for its online services, has been named a finalist in IDG's Consumerization of IT in the Enterprise (CITE) awards program. One.IU joins six other finalists in the Best Internal App category: Cerner Corporation, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Equinix, GlobalTranz, Interactions and True Value Company.
With more than 30 finalists in six categories, the awards program recognizes organizations from a range of industries that are using consumer-inspired technologies to solve real business problems. Finalists were selected based on their projects' outcomes, complexity and innovation. Winners will be announced at the CITE conference and expo in San Francisco this April.
"Indiana University is honored to be the only university named a CITE finalist, and this affirms the inspiring innovation of IU's many IT professionals who can be creative in the culture of a great university," said Brad Wheeler, IU vice president for information technology and CIO. "I'm very proud of our development team and the speed of developing One and rolling it out to all IU campuses."
One.IU will supersede OneStart, the web portal developed in 2001 to provide wide-ranging access to IU services. OneStart has served the university well, but the IU community needed a new approach to simplify getting things done. One.IU replaces navigation with search in ways that were previously impossible.
Led by Brian McGough, IU director of enterprise integration and chief software architect for enterprise software, the team found inspiration in the modern IT landscape and integrated best practices into One.IU: A core search function like Google because people prefer to search to find things, a browse function that behaves similarly to an app store, and a site that works on a desktop and a handheld device equally well.
"By keeping the One.IU interface simple and intuitive, people are able to find what they need quickly, get their business done, and go on with their lives," said McGough. "It's Search, Click, Done. That's what we're trying to accomplish with One.IU."

Their very first kiss was shared as the clock struck twelve – and now this couple will make history when they wed at midnight.
Kyle Emerson, aged 25, and 28-year-old Richie Wood will be the first same-sex couple in Sheffield, and potentially the country, to get hitched under new equal marriage laws which come into force on March 29.
The pair, who have been together for seven years after they met in a Manchester club on New Year's Eve, and engaged for one, jumped at the chance to tie the knot in Sheffield Town Hall.
Richie, speaking as the couple registered their intent to marry yesterday, said: "The marrying at midnight is what resonated and makes it so special for us because that's how we came to be.
"We are excited about the prospect of being the first in Sheffield, it's a real honour, but we always said from the start that we are more interested in celebrating the equality that's been achieved and our love and commitment to each other."
The couple – who live in Hillsborough, and both work for Sheffield Hallam University – had considered a civil partnership.
Kyle added: "For us it is about the equality, I don't see my relationship as any different so why should it be called something different?
"I love history and am so excited about marrying in the Town Hall and being the first couple."
Sheffield Council and independent businesses are supporting the nuptials.
The running order will happen backwards to build up to the big midnight moment, with canapes before a sit-down meal. Dignitaries are invited from 11pm.
Kyle and Richie have been thrown into a whirlwind of planning since they found out the news.
Richie added: "The last week has been mental, it's hard work but we are so excited, and all the stress is condensed into three weeks.
"My niece is four so she's probably going to walk us down the aisle at midnight, – all depending on whether she can stay awake!" LGBT Sheffield secretary Coun Neale Gibson said the couple would be the first in England to marry under new laws – beating Brighton's bid.
He added: "This is huge for Sheffield, it puts us on the map as a city of equality. We are very excited about it and the council is supportive. Sheffield was the first city to make steel, lead new technology, and now to have the first equal marriage."

Despite Dire Predictions, Report Shows Decline in Wildfires
September 9, 2014 1 Comment
Despite Dire Predictions, Report Shows Decline in Wildfires.
>Sorry Al! I know you IMAGINE yourself the inventor of the internet and I know you invented the Church of Global warming. I also know you don't really care that your big LIE has been proven to be a fantasy because you are laughing all the way to the bank. If there were any justice in the world (HUGE IF) you would be convicted of global fraud and conspiracy and spend the rest of you miserable life in a cell with the heat turned up to 95 degrees.<
This is a very trying time for global warming fanatics. Their faith is being tested more and more. How bad do their fake science and phony predictions of doom have to get for their faith to be shaken? Only time will tell. Prophet Gore was sure that by now the Arctic ice would all be melted. But, unfortunately for him, the ice grew thicker. Gore was conveniently "not available" for comment. But his followers still believed. Likewise, for years, global warming believers have tried raising awareness about the coming increase in hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires. And the increase has everything to do with our record carbon emissions. Never mind the fact that hurricanes are at a 30-year low. And something similar can be said about wildfires, despite Obama's "science" advisor stating that global warming "has been making the fire season in the United States longer and, on average, more intense." Here's the Washington Times:
This year's below-average wildfire season comes as welcome news for Westerners, but it's also burning a hole in the environmentalist narrative on climate change.
Although summer isn't over, and fires are burning in California and Oregon, it has been a mild year in terms of the number of wildfires and acres burned, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.
The agency reports that 2.77 million acres have burned this year as of Sept. 5, a decline from the 3.9 million acres that had burned by the same date in 2013 and less than half the 10-year average of 6.2 million acres. The number of fires, 38,451, is also down considerably from the 10-year average of 56,278.
That reduction is even more impressive given that the Pacific Northwest was hit with an above-average wildfire season. In July Washington suffered the most destructive fire in its history, the Carlton Complex Fire, which burned 252,000 acres and destroyed 300 homes in the state's north-central region.
So far the 2014 wildfire season is on pace to be the second-least destructive in the last decade, which could put a damper on the campaign to connect elevated carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere to an increase in extreme weather events, including wildfires.
What are the warmists going to do with this report? They'll probably claim that the National Interagency Fire Center are a bunch of "science-deniers" who are paid off by the oil companies and the Koch brothers. That must be the case, because everyone knows that wildfires and hurricanes are on the rise, and the ice caps are melting. Despite what the evidence shows. Of course, to global warming fanatics, facts, reason, and evidence don't matter.

This work in all browsers? And is this new? I tried site searches but "tab" and "key" show up all over the place. Including a really weird misspelling of "tabke," can't figure out that one. ;)

FYI: Go to Google or just about any other web page - hit the tab key repeatedly and you will move about the page from link to link (look for the dotted 'focus rectangle') - hit the enter key and you will navigate to that link. You can actually navigate about most web pages without a mouse - just use tab and enter. (There are some additional complexities involving iframes, the tabindex attribute etc but you get the idea.)
Lynx did this in the early 90s
They didn't do what I'm talking about, they did what BigUns thought I was reporting.
But at this point, I can't tell if anyone (other than martinibuster) has a clue of what I'm actually talking about... so I'll just shut up and move on. If someday, someone actually goes and sees the javascript based feature that yahoo has and MSN just added which I described above and wants to confirm that I'm not insane, feel free to sticky me. :)
Very similar in nature to the old days where people would make the font color/size different when you hovered over a link.

Re: "Israeli strike leaves 11 dead" (TNT, 11-19).
My husband and I just returned from a two-week vacation in Israel, where both Israeli citizens and U.S. tourists have been under long-term daily rocket attack from Gaza.
This did not start or restart a week ago when the leader of Hamas was killed. I have seen the playgrounds that have colorfully painted bomb shelters as part of the playground equipment, and bomb shelters for bus stops, because the Israelis have only 15 seconds to reach shelter from the Gaza rockets. The Israeli military finally responded by taking out the leader of Hamas in a surgical strike.
Israel did not escalate the violence; it was Hamas that has was increasing the daily rocket attacks until it finally forced Israel into responding. The Israeli families that live near Gaza are shellshocked from the terror of rockets, and even the children suffer from PTSD.
Israel has demonstrated restraint in an effort to minimize killing of innocent through surgical retaliatory strikes, but this is difficult since Hamas practices human shielding. Hamas has the same goals as Hitler did: to murder the Jews. The only difference is now Israel has the power to fight back, to a point.
If someone feels sorry for the Muslims who want to kill the Jews, you may as well feel sorry for the Nazis when they lost World War II. Israelis just want to be left alone, but they are continually attacked by Muslim countries. Israel has the right to protect itself.

After David Knell started off the bottom of the third inning with a walk for Ripon, Alex Gustin broke the stalemate with an RBI double that lit the fuse for an Indian rally that quickly put the game out of reach.
Ripon tacked on five more runs in the fourth inning to break the game wide open, and scored in both the fifth and sixth innings en route to its 10-1 victory.
"I felt that we played with confidence and we played much better as a team today," Ripon head coach Mitchell Evans said. "We put the ball in play and moved guys over and gave ourselves some opportunities.
"Ripon Christian is a tough team, and I know that they'll be looking to end things differently when we meet again later this season so we're just going to have to work and be ready when that day comes."
A pair of back-to-back singles and a Ripon Christian infield error loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth inning, setting the table for Jared Macedo to bash in a base-clearing double that served as the main explosion of Ripon's offensive attack.
Knights pitcher Wes Lown inherited the bases-loaded situation after Prins walked in a run and handed Ripon (1-1 TVL, 3-7) a 2-0 lead.
Lown accidently grazed the shoulder of Matt Ratto late in the count to send another run home and managed to produce an infield fly-out before serving up the double that cast the fate of the Knights (1-1, 3-4) in stone.
"We've been pitching such lights-out ball so far this season that we were bound to have a game like this," Ripon Christian head coach John De Visser said. "Once we settle down we can start to put things together, but that just didn't happen today – it got way out of hand in a hurry and we couldn't recover from it."
Justin Scott went the distance for Ripon and surrendered only an unearned run in the sixth inning. He finished the game four strikeouts and a pair of walks.
"Justin dealt for us today," Evans said. "When he did give up a hit it was when there was nobody on base and nobody in scoring position, and if he did get himself into a jam he pitched his way out of it. I think that's a testament to his hard work – he just had a great day today."
Macedo finished the game 2 for 3 with three RBIs, a double, and a run scored, while sophomore Jake McCreath finished 3 for 4 with a pair of runs scored. Knell walked in all three of his plate appearances, and reached home plate twice.

Difficulty class
Please help improve this page.
You can help by editing this page. For suggestions, please see the talk page, or embedded <!-- comments --> while editing this page.
The Difficulty Class is a number associated with an action that represents how hard that action is to do. When the game engine checks to see if an action succeeds, it will roll a d20 (i.e., it will generate a random number between 1 and 20), and add any relevant modifiers to that number. If the resulting number meets or exceeds the difficulty class of the action, the action succeeds. A very common example is when a character must perform a saving throw, so that is what we will use as our example.
Example of a DC in game[edit]
Imagine that Arglebargle had been too busy looking at newly acquired loot to notice that the rogue in his party had stopped in his tracks and begun gesturing frantically that he has spotted a trap. Marching past his desperate friend, ArgleBargle hears a loud "click" and, with a puzzled expression on his face, Arglebargle finds himself regarding the poison dart that now sticks out of his posterior. The game engine then checks to see if ArgleBargle successfully performs a saving throw vs. poison.
This is a mild poison, with a Difficulty Class of only 10. The game engine will roll a number between 1-20, and then add Arglebargle's saving throw modifier to that number. If the resulting number is 10 or above (the DC of the poison), then ArgleBargle will walk on unscathed. If the resulting number is below the poison's Difficulty Class (10 in this case) OR if a natural 1 is rolled, then Arglebargle will have failed his saving throw vs poison, and suffer the full effects.
DC As Applied to Player Spells[edit]
The likelihood that your spells will land (their saves) is determined by a few factors:
- Your Base Casting Stat:
- Intelligence: Artificers and Wizards
- Charisma: Bards, Favored Souls, Sorcerers, and Warlocks
- Wisdom: Clerics, Druids, Favored Souls, Paladins, and Rangers
- This includes starting stat at creation, any points put into the stat at levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, and corresponding Tomes used.
- Your Gear
- The item you wear to boost your casting stat (ex: Intelligence +6 Goggles)
- Any stacking exceptional bonuses to your casting stat (ex: Shroudcraft, Dragontouched Armor Crafting, Tower of Despair Rings)
- Spell Focus Items (ex: "Necromancy Focus" or, even better, the Stormreaver's Napkin)
- Feats
- The metamagic Heighten Spell, for lower than 9th level spells
- Spell Focus, Greater Spell Focus and Epic Spell Focus if the spell is in the school specified by the feats.
DC is raised by 1 for every 2 points your main casting stat increases, so it will go up on even stats (check your modifier for the stat to see the total bonus). Regular Spell Focus items will raise spell DCs for the specified school by 1, Greater Spell Focus items will raise spell DCs for the specified class by 2. Heighten will raise the level of the spell to the highest spell level the player can cast. You can view the save for any spell by mousing over the spell and reading the tooltips.
So, in equation form:
10 + Spell Level + Casting Stat Modifier + Items + Feats + Enhancements + Epic Destiny = DC
See Spell Focus for various ways to increase your spell DC
Player A is a level 20 wizard casting Finger of Death, a level 7 Necromancy spell with a fortitude Save. She has a 40 INT, for a +15 modifier. She has Spell Focus and Greater Spell Focus: Necromancy, for +2 to DCs of her Necromancy spells. She is also wearing a Stormreaver's Napkin, for +1 to her DCs. She is using Heighten Spell to bring the level of the Finger of Death to level 9.
Plugging this into the above equation, we get:
10 + 9 (Spell Level with Heighten) + 15 (Modifier) + 1 (Napkin) + 2 (Feats) = 37
So the mob has to make a 37 Fortitude Save or die.
Spell Penetration also goes hand-in-hand with DC, as you first need to break through the target's Spell Resistance to force the target to make a save for the spell. For more information on Spell Penetration and Spell Resistance, please click the corresponding links.
DC's at Level[edit]
The DDO Information Project attempts to keep track of Spot & Search, and Disable Device & Open Lock DC's for all quests and at all general levels.

My gluten-free pot
creates a stir –

The heart of my dish

sprinkle what's forgot.

My gluten-free pot
creates a stir –
and why not?
The heart of my dish
stirs the soul:
sprinkle what's forgot.
pic credit: yayyayoy
And so the month of memory
begins to tickle my heart.
A month to delve deep
and recover my soul;
for my barest branch
to grow plump-pink blossoms.
(pic copyright: Clairev)
All the work I've done on myself:
the therapy, the healing,
the certificates I've gained,
the triumph of Masters degrees.
And still I'm blocked.
All the promises I've made,
to stay true to my talent,
seem to land on fertile turf,
yet remain fallow, dry, non-manifest.
And still I'm blocked.
All the years I've passed,
with fresh intentions each Jan
that fade to grey, nudging into Feb.
In March it's as if they never began.
And still I'm blocked.
All the distractions I excitedly seek.
New garden: tick. Weekly weeding: tock.
Jobs to take my mind off the task,
decade after decade. That's the shock.
And still I'm blocked.
All the futures I'll never achieve:
what will be my hand-me-down glory?
A creative life chronically unlived?
Or trusting what's for me won't go past me?
Knowing all of this… and more.
And still I'm blocked.
(pic courtesy of freedigitalphotos.net/KROMKRATHOG)
head in noose
wishing someone could tighten the knot
melting my feet from beneath
alone in dilemma
an over-thinking hell
i seek solace under random lorry wheels
caught in a block
seeking release from within
i instead feel lost and without
age has caught up
i have the tears of a frown
etched on my disappointed face
no eyes turn my way
avoiding glance, discovery:
i'm just a forgotten yesterday
being alone is a heart-opening thing
and the solitary self comes alive when alone,
yet the yearning of lonely brings bitter-sweet tears
that fall on a cheek with a splash and a sting.
the bitter turns sweet when a spine feels the comb
of fingertips intent on opening the heart,
yet the yearning of lonely brings tears for fears,
and that solitary self plays a part.
My response to day 14 of NaPoWriMo 2016: write a san san
"True success is love, not power."
Power is so, well, potent:
manipulating, cajoling, forcing
one's way to success.
Love seems weak, in the shade
of Power's dazzling beams.
Softer, more passive, waiting.
Love seems vague, elusive,
not out to be grabbed or hurried.
Power can be earned.
Love has to be given.
Power is impatient.
Love is empathic, considered, kind.
And what does success mean anyway?
Can one love without power,
and be powerful without love?
My response to Day 13 of NaPoWriMo: write a poem from a fortune cookie
They say the darkest hour is just before you wake,
and so with my front-garden tree:
just when I thought the fragile branches
had succumbed to the fiercest April showers
it blossomed so sweetly and suddenly,
reminding me, perhaps, that life truly goes on,
through seconds, minutes, and finite hours.
My response to Day 8 of NaPoWriMo 2016: write about a flower

Thanks for sharing this amazing work!
| sg1star chapter 38 . 12/13/2012
your story was so well crafted that it took me on a journey, that allowed me to emerce myself within the pages of this amazing work of art. To giggle at the antic of both jack and sam, and to cheer when the story showed them being reunited, then stand up and shout for jacob being so narrow minded, and smiling and cheering sam on when she put him and the general in their place
Hope you will be writing a squeal as can't wait to read your next story.
| magical-mystery-girl chapter 38 . 12/9/2012
YEAH! I LOVED THIS STORY! lol it was fantastic! wow, I just can't explain how awesome this story was. You handled everything really well, and it was really realistic. The only think I could have hoped for more of would be Daniel/Jack friendship scenes...that would have been nice, but beggars can't be choosers, lol. Anyway, great job! I can't wait for more!
| R-Gomeni chapter 38 . 11/22/2012
So... this was awesome. I really enjoyed your characterisation of everyone, and how you drew all the storylines together. I love the JS pairing, but the age gap in canon is always osmething to be wary of. I like how you've controlled for that without sacrificing anything of the story.
As for the characters, I have to admit, I'm a big fan of military Sam, but you've managed to somehow make her just as kickass without being a soldier. So kudos. Charlie was similarly awesome, as you really built on his character, where he's a good friend to both Sam and Jack as well as having his own thoughts and issues. Best chapter for him was when he almost put the moves on Sam, then realised that she would always be Jack's. That was really well written and I liked how you handled it.
The other thing I really liked about the stories so far is how you didn't try to sacrifice the characters to keep to canon. I've seen a lot of these sorts of stories where the authors obviously struggle to come up with a reason for Jack to go on that original mission, and I love how you handled it: making it a conspiracy with Jacob and General West was pure genius.
While these are things that I loved about the story, I'm not sure that Jack was written with the right level of snark and attitude. The caring side and the whole soldier thing I think you did well as far as his characterisation goes, but his sense of humour is one of the best things about the tv series, and I'm not sure that that's come across fully in this one.
Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to part 3. If you're half as creative with the storylines on the show as you have been already, then I don't think it can be anything other than brilliant. To be honest, I'd like to see Sha're play a bigger role: the little characterisation you've already given her has intrigued me, and I can imagine a friendship between her and Sam blossoming should they end up in circumstances where they're allowed to have that friendship. I'm also intrigued as to what Teal'c will be like: Jack's younger than he was in the tv series, and I think it'd be awesome if Teal'c was as well. Just throwing it out there.
When all's said and done though, I've really enjoyed what you've already posted, and even without part 3 (which I know you've mentioned in the past, so I'm really hoping it's still going ahead) I think that these two make great standalone fics. Though I really really hope part 3 happens. Okay, I'll stop rambling now.
| Sonnie W chapter 38 . 11/22/2012
awesome... Thanks for posting this :)
| LadyMo chapter 38 . 11/21/2012
This was a wonderful story. I truly enjoyed reading it. And you included at the end my favorite word, their word - Always. I like the way you ended it. They are together, they will work things out, he will let her in, probably little by little but let het in. Also they understand each other a little more, so they grew in many ways. Thanks

Will there be more? :)

Someone's been watching Grey's Anatomy.
But this is a great story. I'm loving the AU twist on the original storyline.

EA Sports FIFA Ultimate Team closes to fix bugs in FIFA 13
With the growth of the complaints from its users, the company has decided to temporarily close the service title to focus on correcting common errors that have been detected. Online problems seem not to want to get away from FIFA 13 , and the company is forced to upgrade again .
Over months and months before and after its release , we've seen the benefits , improvements and innovations that brought with delivery for this season in an intensive advertising campaign to which we are accustomed EA Sports. However, once you have seen the light , users began to report errors and failures that were multiplying throughout its multiplayer .
The company responded by launching periodic updates as they are different problems were reported by users , the majority , as mentioned, in paragraph online, but offline campaign was not without errors .The latest complaints come have focused primarily on FIFA Ultimate Team service , especially in its auction . The most annoying players make different objects acquired through bids , finally unable to download your purchase to your computer , causing a waste of money.
Angry complaints also causes failures that cause the service not record a victory harvested at parties, in addition , are considered as losses and , therefore, loss of coins.Another drawback failure more visual than functional , makes objects in a row, despite having already been auctioned and purchased , remain visible in the list , unable to delete from it.
In response, EA Sports has decided to temporarily close the mentioned online service , so it is not currently available , in order to solve these problems and a number of bugs detected . How long ? The company has not yet clarified the duration of the situation and the moment and will be reopened in its statement has only said that they will try to solve setbacks around the "stack exchange " .
Still detecting problems ? Fixed Or do different updates? What bothers you the most ? Hopefully FIFA 13 finally achieved solve all faults and allow the total experience that the title has .
EA Sports has released a new football video game FIFA 13 . Once again , the company brings the best goals of the gaming community . Plays perfect , Chilean , dribbling impossible ... a demonstration of what you can do in the year sports simulator . That's right , you better train hard .
As every year, the season starts and the players squeeze the most of your favorite title . Followers test all progress : developments in the dribbling system , control and balance of the passes or the potential of dynamic control. In short , a date with which to many is elmejor scene simulator : FIFA 13 .
In the following video we can see the potential sujugabilidad . They are the best goals of the week , compiled in just over a minute and a half , enough to collect authentic prowess . Again, the dribbling takes the cake , but no shortage of shots from outside the area , earwigs , or highest quality passes . Many think they are at a game arcade and simple but the truth is that all these gamers have spent a number of hours to improve their technique. The result is as follows:
It did not we think of no better way to show the strengths of a title to let the game do the talking for itself. After the last wave of ' bugs ' and with the patch on the street , players enjoy the title , concerned only to not receive these types of goals , shows of force to which no one wants to submit .
Those who are thinking about getting with the simulator will like to know that Electronic Arts has released temporary unarebaja title. The recommended price of the game down to 59.95 euros on the occasion of the Christmas sales season . Not a drastic reduction but an incentive to consider , especially if you are thinking about getting with a simulator.
And you, what do you have like these goals? Many of the moves seem executed lowered the difficulty but, nevertheless , continue to be major goals. Can you imagine putting those guns in the extreme difficulty or against great players at online ? Surely more than GamerZona reader is capable of it .

I have an 11-year-old stepdaughter in sixth grade and an almost 4-year-old son in preschool. Before I had kids, I was the cool honorary aunt to many little ones. So I offer these links as an initial way to think about how — and whether — to discuss the horror in Connecticut.
Cole Cosgrove over at MultiCare did a quick interview with a child psychologist.
As a starting point, ask them a general question like, "Did you hear about something bad that happened today?"
If the child says no, there's no reason that a young child needs to know about this.
Asking a general question as a starting point gives you an opportunity to ask, "What did you hear?" and provide some corrective information.
Anxiety is one of those things that's very internalized, so some kids may not look or behave differently but they may still have worries.
Look for changes in appetite. Changes in routine. Things they normally would have enjoyed, they're not doing. They might be more clingy. Potentially nightmares. Tummy aches, headaches.
Go here for the complete q-and-a. Most of it is instinctual, but helpful to read if you're filled with emotions (as I am).
Another thing I found helpful to read was this page from the Fred Rogers Company, starting with this quote from Mr. Rogers:
"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of 'disaster,' I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world."
UPDATE: More links. Some of the links have other links within them, to helpful web pages and even PDFs. Thanks to those posting in the comments.
PBS parents on how to talk to kids about the news
Focus on the Family on how to help a child cope with disaster and trauma
From the American Academy of Pediatrics:
As in any frightening situation, young children should not be exposed to the extensive media coverage of the event — in other words, turn off the TV, computer, and other media devices. Parents also can use their child's pediatrician as a source of advice and support during this time.
From Common Sense Media:
Kids get their news from many sources — and they're not always correct. How to talk about the news — and listen, too.
