Tobacco/Cigarette Smoke
Tobacco smoke from people smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipes has been regulated by WISHA since 1994. Also known as "environmental tobacco smoke" or "second hand tobacco smoke," this mixture of thousands of substances is a known health hazard. The WISHA Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) regulation, WAC 296-800-240 (2.83 MB PDF) prohibits smoking in workplace offices, except in specially ventilated areas. Since the adoption of this regulation, most employers have banned smoking in their offices and office buildings. However, WISHA continues to receive inquiries about the ETS regulation and how it applies to particular work settings or conditions. The question and answer section below addresses the more common questions we receive about ETS and where to go for further information.
Regulatory information
- WAC 296-800-240 (2.83 MB PDF): Environmental tobacco smoke in office work environments — summary and definitions.
- WAC 296-800-24005 (2.83 MB PDF): Control tobacco smoke in your building.
- WAC 296-800-24010 (2.83 MB PDF): Control tobacco smoke that comes in from the outside.
Questions and answers
What does the rule on environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) require?
WAC 296-800-240 (2.83 MB PDF) affects offices only. For these areas, employers with one or more office employees are required to protect these employees from the hazards of exposure to ETS, commonly referred to as secondhand smoke, by:
Eliminating indoor smoking entirely, or
Establishing a designated smoking room that is specially engineered to prevent ETS exposure to those outside the designated room.
These protections also extend to areas such as a company lunch room or meeting rooms that are associated with office areas. Enforcement of this regulation began in 1994 and affects public and private office worksites in Washington state. See regulatory information.
What is ETS?
Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is a mixture of smoke emitted from burning tobacco products and smoke exhaled by the smoker. ETS is also commonly referred to as secondhand smoke. Exposure to ETS is often referred to as passive smoking or involuntary smoking. ETS is a complex chemical mixture, made up of thousands of different substances.
Are all worksites with offices required to comply with the new regulations, no exceptions?
The definition of an office worksite under the new rule is quite broad. It includes any indoor or enclosed occupied space where activities such as clerical, administration or business are transacted. All worksites with offices that fall within the jurisdiction of the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA) are required to comply. This includes a large number of office worksites in the state. There are some worksites where WISHA has no jurisdiction because no employees are present or the federal government has jurisdiction rather than the state.
Do employers of office workers have to create designated smoking rooms?
No. Employers may choose to eliminate smoking in offices by requiring any smoking to occur outside. Because a properly engineered designated smoking room requires dedicated space, equipment and construction costs, as well as maintenance costs, most employers have chosen to not allow smoking indoors. The responsibility for establishing and maintaining a designated smoking room under the regulation lies with the employer, not a building owner.
Why is ETS considered a health hazard?
Studies over the last 15 years have documented significant adverse health consequences of ETS exposure. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified ETS as a Group A carcinogen - a substance known to cause cancer in humans. The U.S. Surgeon General, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and others have joined the EPA in drawing this conclusion. Of the 16 pollutants that have been identified by EPA as Group A carcinogens (including asbestos, radon, and benzene) only EPS has been shown in studies to cause cancer at typical environmental levels. Get more information on ETS from the EPA (www.epa.gov).
Will penalties be assessed if an employer does not comply?
Enforcement of this rule will result from employee complaints or referrals to L&I from other agencies or programs. Upon receipt of the first complaint or referral, a letter will be sent to the employer outlining the ETS rule and necessary corrective action. A second complaint could result in penalties between $50-$200, depending on the size of the employer. In situations where an intentional or reckless violation of the rule can be documented or the same violations are repeated the penalties could be significantly higher.
How will the rules be enforced?
Inspections will typically result from confidential employee complaints. Under WISHA all employees and employee representatives who believe that an unsafe or unhealthy condition exists in their workplace have the right to request an inspection by L&I. The names of those filing complaints will be kept confidential upon request of the employee. Employees may not be fired or discriminated against for filing safety and health complaints or for exercising any of their rights under WISHA. Employees who believe they have been discriminated against may file a complaint with the department within 30 days of the alleged discrimination. To request an inspection or for additional information, employees may call the Labor & Industries office nearest them, or call the safety and health toll-free information number: 1-800-423-7233. Get more information on worker rights.
Why aren't other types of workers provided the same protection from ETS?
This rule is limited to offices because it was adopted out of a much broader proposal that addressed specific indoor air quality hazards of office work environments. The department cannot expand the scope of the regulation to other work environments unless a new proposal is developed and a mandated public process is followed, including an opportunity for all those affected to make formal comment.
Is Washington State alone in its new regulations to protect employees from ETS?
Although Washington is one of the first states to require widespread smoking controls, many states, counties, and cities in the United States have enacted controls through legislation or other means that eliminate or reduce exposure of employees and/or public to ETS.
Are volunteers in offices covered by the new rule?
The definition of an employee under WISHA includes any person who provides services for and is under the supervision of an employer for a specified salary, wage, stipend, or other benefit. Many volunteers would be considered "employees" under this interpretation. Therefore, the employer would need to comply with the rules.
What other smoking regulations are currently in effect in Washington?
- Washington Clean Indoor Air Act of 1985 prohibiting smoking in public places except in designated smoking areas. This act also prohibits smoking in a number of public places including the public areas of retail stores, buses, elevators, and the lobbies of financial institutions, to name a few.
- 1989 Governor's Executive Order prohibiting smoking in state facilities and buildings and state vehicles.
Regulations prohibiting smoking in all licensed daycare centers and private daycare homes, in vehicles used by the daycare while transporting children and prohibiting the use of tobacco products on school property (K-12).
In addition to these statewide regulations, some local jurisdictions have adopted regulations that prohibit or restrict smoking in certain areas.
How will this regulation be applied to buildings that have mixed uses, such as a single building with both offices and production areas?
Because the new rule is limited to office worksites, it only applies to the office areas in this situation. No smoking can occur in these areas unless a specifically engineered designated smoking room is provided for the smokers to use. Company cafeterias, lunchrooms, or meeting rooms that are directly associated with the office areas also would be covered. Production areas (or other non-office areas) within the building are outside the scope of the regulation. In non-office areas smoking is allowed unless there is a fire hazard or it would contribute to the toxic ingestion of chemicals, and if allowed by the employer. In buildings where the office(s) is not physically separated from the non-office areas by walls, employers would still need to apply the new regulations in the office area.
Is smoking around entrances and exits to buildings prohibited? What distance is considered a "close proximity" to openings allowing airflow directly into an office?
The regulation includes a section which prohibits direct ETS contamination of indoor office work environments from smoking areas located outside the building. Typical problem situations include:
An outside smoking area adjacent to an outside air intake, and ETS is drawn directly back into an office area.
A smoking area around entrances and exits to an office, but the airflow patterns around these areas allow ETS to be drawn directly back into the office.
If the problem is noted from direct ETS infiltration around an air intake or entryway, moving the smoking area further away should help in most cases to prevent the situation from reoccurring.
Can an air cleaner substitute for the separate ventilation of a designated smoking room?
No. Under the new regulation an air cleaner cannot substitute for direct exhaust of the designated smoking room air to the outside. However, air cleaners can be used in addition to direct outside exhaust for the designated smoking room if the employer chooses.
Can smoking be allowed in an attached parking garage?
Yes, assuming the parking garage is not an office area for any employees, or a direct part of the office area, and smoking is not prohibited for other reasons. The new regulation addresses only office worksites.
If an employer has a (smoking-allowed) lunchroom in a production area but employees that work in offices use or occasionally use it, would the ETS regulation apply?
No. The new regulation applies to office work environments only. Only company lunchrooms that are directly associated with offices would be affected.
Can an employer be issued a citation if a customer comes into an office and smokes?
Ordinarily this should be handled by simply informing the customer that smoking is not allowed in the office or is confined to a designated smoking room. In cases where an employer does not inform and require the customer to follow the policy in effect, a citation could be issued on the basis that office employees were allowed to be exposed to the known hazard of exposure to ETS at the worksite.
Are intermittently used quality control offices at industrial sites covered by the rule?
Yes. As long as employees have regularly assigned office work in this area. If an area is just a transitory recording station, in most cases it would not be considered an office worksite.
Can a private office be separately ventilated and become a designated smoking room for an individual or small number of individuals?
The new rule doesn't explicitly eliminate this possibility, though it could be relatively expensive to create a designated smoking room for a single individual or a few individuals, and difficult in many cases to work productively because no employee in the office can be required to enter a designated smoking room to interact, pick up work, etc.
Why aren't employers required to have Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on tobacco products?
Although employers are required to maintain MSDSs for hazardous materials under the Hazard Communication Standard (WAC 296-62-054), tobacco products are specifically exempt.
Who can an employer call about application of the ETS rule?
Employers can contact safety and health consultants in the Department of Labor & Industries' Regional Office nearest them if they have questions about the new rule.

Virus Bulletin (VB) conducted its latest test in July, posting the results this month. The security research company evaluated 35 anti-malware products for the 32-bit version of Windows Vista SP2 Business. The basic requirements for a product passing the test is detecting, both on demand and on access, in its default settings, all malware known to be "In the Wild" at the time of the review, and not detecting any false positives when scanning a set of clean files. The products were pitted against about 3,000 unique samples of malware that fall into four categories: WildList viruses, Worms and bots, Polymorphic viruses, and Trojans.
A third of the products did not manage to meet these requirements: 23 products passed the test, leaving 12 products to fail. Here are the ones that passed and failed, as well as the reason for not passing:
- Pass: AhnLab V3 Internet Security, Alwil avast! Professional, AVG Internet Security, Avira AntiVir Professional, CA eTrust ITM, eEye Blink Professional, ESET NOD32 Antivirus, Fortinet FortiClient, Frisk F-PROT antivirus, F-Secure Client Security, F-Secure PSB Workstation Security, G DATA AntiVirus 2010, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009, Kingsoft Internet Security 2009 Advanced, McAfee Total Security, McAfee VirusScan Enterprise, Microsoft Forefront Client Security, MWTI eScan Internet Security Suite, Nifty Corp. Security24, Norman Security Suite, Quick Heal AntiVirus Lite 2009, Sophos Anti-Virus, and Trustport Antivirus 2009.
- Fail: Agnitum Outpost Security Suite Pro (one false positive), CA Internet Security Suite (960 polymorphic viruses misses), Filseclab Twister AntiTrojanVirus (2612 wildlist misses, 38 false positives), Finport Simple Anti-Virus (2897 wildlist misses, two false positives), K7 Total Security Desktop (one false positive), Kingsoft Internet Security 2009 Standard (228 wildlist misses), PC Tools AntiVirus 2009 (1188 wildlist misses, one false positive), PC Tools Internet Security 2009 (1355 wildlist misses, one false positive), PC Tools Spyware Doctor (1355 wildlist misses, one false positive), Rising Internet Security 2009 (43 wildlist misses, one false positive), Symantec Endpoint Protection (two wildlist misses), and VirusBuster Professional (one false positive).
An interesting thing to note in this test is Kingsoft's results: the Standard version failed the test while the Advanced version of the company's product passed. PC Tools, on the other hand, saw all three of its products bomb. Symantec's failure is particularly unacceptable as the security giant is often talked up as the top dog in the market. Microsoft's success with its Forefront product is promising not only for business users, but for consumers as well, given that the upcoming Microsoft Security Essentials product is closely tied to it.
The next VB test results will be posted two months from now and will be for Windows Server 2008, though actual testing will be conducted in September.
"In the past ten years, Symantec has earned 44 consecutive VB100 awards, something no other vendor has come close to matching," a Symantec spokesperson told Ars. "In the August edition of Virus Bulletin, Symantec did not receive the VB100 award certification due to missing an extremely rare replicant of a highly polymorphic file infecting virus in the VB lab test. We have received no reports related to this issue from any customers. This has been fixed in our signatures for all customers."

Derek Lamar Fisher (born August 9, 1974) is an American professional basketball point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). His NBA career has spanned more than 14 years, during which he has won five NBA Championships. He currently serves as the president of the National Basketball Players Association.
Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Fisher started out his basketball career at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Selected with the twenty-fourth pick by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1996 NBA Draft, Fisher spent his first eight seasons with the franchise. During that time, he played a role in the Lakers' "three-peat", and was the third-leading scorer on the team behind Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal. After his success with Los Angeles, Fisher signed with the Golden State Warriors, but was later traded to the Utah Jazz, where he helped lead the team to the Western Conference Finals. Due to his daughter's health, he asked to be released from his contract and rejoined the Lakers in 2007. In 2010, he won his fifth NBA Championship with the Lakers. Only he and Kobe Bryant have played in all five of the Lakers' most recent championships.
As of 2011, Fisher had played in 209 career playoff games, the fourth highest total in NBA history. He ranks second all time in NBA Finals three-pointers made (43), behind former teammate Robert Horry. He has the highest three-point field goal percentage in NBA Finals history (42.6%). The NBA listed his "0.4 Shot" as the 18th-greatest playoff moment of all time.

The book presents in a comprehensive fashion European film policies in the context of both EU and international law. It relies on a broad survey of national and EU film policy measures, the EU practice in the areas of state aid, antitrust and merger law with respect to the sector and the application of international trade law to film policy instruments. These three different bodies of law are systematically analysed to assess how cultural policy considerations underlying film policy can be married to market forces. The EU experience is studied in depth as the book argues that it can effectively serve as a model to reconcile these sometimes conflicting goals in the global trade arena. This justifies the attention paid to the way in which cultural objectives of film policies are accommodated within the EU competition law framework. The book contributes valuably to the current debate on cultural diversity and free trade by providing a more harmonious if not a symbiotic vision of this relationship.

The Boy Who Knew What the Birds Said
Padraic Colum
$16.50Add a review
This is a gem of a book by the renowned poet, dramatist, novelist, folklorist and storyteller, Padraic Colum. No less than three of his books for children received retrospective citations for the Newbery Honor. Filled with drama, action, tenderness and adventure, Padraic Colum spins a series of tales which draw us into a world of imagination and beauty. The tales have a strong and clear storyteller's voice which is still as alive, fresh and direct as it was when first spoken.
This edition has been edited by the artist, teacher and author, Reg Down, with grade 4 to 8 students in mind. In addition to editing for clarity and pronounceability (Celtic spellings are sometimes impossible!), he refreshed the original illustrations by Dugard Stewart Walker, inserted footnotes where a word was uncommon or seldom used, added a map to show where countries and mountains mentioned in the book are located, added a section with characterizations and drawings of all the birds which appear in the book, included the Celtic Ogham alphabet referenced in one tale (plus examples for the reader to deciher and encouragement for them to write their own Ogham), and finally, added a brief biography of Padraic Colum, with a description of his dramatic life and times in Ireland and his arrival in the land of hope, America.
Outstanding! Highly recommend for ages 9 and older.
The Shifty Lad
and the Tales He Told
Retold by P. L. Snow
$19.95Add a review
Shifty Lad is sort of a Loki/Coyote figure who comes creating mischief, but also with wondrous stories to tell, so wondrous that they even save his life. In these tales of roguery and cunning, we learn about his childhood, how he longed to become a thief (and became one!), and his life as a villain of the highways and byways. We learn how he outwitted the Dark Stranger, and how his gift of storytelling saved his own life.
And, we get to hear his stories, collected by P. L. Snow from the Celtic cultures of Scotland, Ireland and Wales. They are beautiful, traditional folktales that speak of human nature and touch our hearts with laughter and tears. This is a great collection of timeless tales wrapped in Shifty Lad's delightful story - a real treat!
Ages 8 to adult.
Over the Hills and Far Away
Stories of dwarfs, fairies, gnomes and elves from around Europe
Edited by Els Boekelaar and Ineke Verschuren
Illustrations by Daniela Drescher
$30.00Add a review
Stories of dwarfs, fairies, gnomes and elves - as well as nature beings by other names - are among the most universal in humanity's storytelling pantheon. Regardless of the culture of origin, they share insights into the wisdom of nature and the effect of human morality upon it. In fact, all such stories I've ever read or heard told are in one way or another morality tales -- only here, the human's morality affects nature and her beings and they, in turn, affect the destiny of the people involved, whether for good or ill. The reverse can also be true: naughty nature beings have their effect in the world and the world and more evolved beings respond to counter it.
However, there is a warmth to these tales that most morality tales lack: even when the deeds arise out of the lower nature of people, or from a recalcitrant gnome, there is a sympathy in the telling that leads to a type of heartwarmed understanding. In short, this quality makes them wonderful for children (and adults, I might add). These stories invite the child into the heart of the world, and evoke a desire to be helpful and kind in the process.
Most of the tales in Over the Hills and Far Away are ideal for children 6-10 years old. Some of the simpler ones would be lovely for children 4 years old or older. This is a wonderful collection of stories made even richer by Daniella Drescher's beautiful paintings.

Selected and with an Introduction by Joanna Cole
$20.00Add a review
I am so happy to be able to offer this collection to you. It was one of our family's favorite treasures, containing story after story that we loved and worlds we explored. It has also been one of those books that over the years goes in and out of print. Happily, we again arrive at a time when it is available for families and teachers and, most importantly, our children.
Best-Loved Folktales of the World is a collection of over 200 folk and fairy tales from all over the world. It is also the only such collection of which I am aware that covers all areas of our planet and represents all major cultures with beauty and integrity. The stories are arranged geographically and include the familiar (to us) classics such as "Snow White" and "Sleeping Beauty" as well as their counterparts for around the world - and much more besides!
These stories are delightful, enriching, satisfying. They also offer a loved-filled feast prepared by the heart of our world. May you enjoy them for years, as we did!

The good people at WECAN are very much to be congratulated - they have produced what is, in my opinion, the finest collection of stories for young children ever published in English (maybe in any language, but others will have to judge that). Tell Me a Story brings together in one volume over 80 stories told and loved in Waldorf kindergartens throughout North America, and as such really offers a resource that can last throughout a lifetime.
Wherever there are children, the cry of "Tell me a story . . ." is heard, and in Waldorf education, storytelling is an integral (and often favorite) part of each day. Stories connect us to one another, give us a sense of who we are, and can help to guide us into the future. Tell Me a Story is filled with treasures for all ages and all occasions. Whether you are a teacher, parent, grandparent, caregiver, or just a lover of good stories, you will find inspiration and nourishment in these pages.

Norse Mythology
by Charles Kovacs
Charles Kovacs
$20.00Add a review
Charles Kovacs' curriculum notes are so wonderful - it is a recurring joy to browse through them and to see new titles appear. There is no doubt in my mind that he has planted seeds of hope for our children and the world.
In this newest collection of Norse Myths, Kovacs beautifully retells the stories of 19 of the Norse gods (including Freya, Thor, Odin, Loki and many more), 4 of the great Sagas (Nibelung, Gudrune, Frithiof, and Kvasir) and the 3 key stories of the Twilight of the Gods ("The Death of Baldur," "Loki's Punishment," and "Ragnarok"). The sweep of these stories if read in order paints a heartfelt picture of the flourishing and fall of an age where giants and gods strode across the earth itself. To read it is to apprehend anew the heartbeat of Norse mythology.
Used in Grade 4 within the Waldorf curriculum.
Tales from the Kalevala
A Prose Rendering
Irmgard Burtscher
Translated by Hartmut Schiffer
$15.95Add a review
Tales from the Kalevala is another one of those books that I have heard so very many people ask for over the years: "Is there a Kalevala in English that tells the story in a way I can use in the classroom/to teach my children?" Now I can answer "yes" - and it is a lovely, well-told tale indeed.
Rudolf Steiner recognized the stories of the Kalevala as having the clearest pictures of an earlier phase of human soul development. He also said that in addition to telling us much about the particular experiences of life in Northern Europe, the stories also offer insights into humanity's earlier time on Earth as well as glimpses of our future development. Steiner went so far as to say that he believed the Kalevala would become as important in the future as the stories of Ancient Greece have been in the past.
The Kalevala is used in the 4th grade curriculum in Waldorf Education. Irmgard Burtscher is a class teacher in Liechtenstein who prepared this prose version of the stories to help other teachers present them to their students. Schiffer's translation brings these robust tales to our door with an English that is at once modern, yet retains the flavor of the ancient world. Do enjoy!
Nordic Gods and Heroes
Padraic Colum
$11.95Add a review
One of the world's greatest storytellers has given us what I believe is the most elegant and engaging versions of the core of Norse mythology. Padraic Colum's retellings of these timeless stories of the rather raucous pantheon of Norse Gods, giants and heroes will draw you and your students or children into the story, hold you there through to the end and when it is over, leave you hoping for more stories to come. This is a reprint of Colum's book that was originally published in 1920 -- and what a wonderful thing it is to have it available here and now!
Among the many stories in Nordic Gods and Heroes are:
- Iduna and Her Apples - How Loki Put the Gods in Danger
- How Freya Gained Her Necklace and How Her Loved One Was Lost to Her
- How Frey Won Gerda, the Giant Maiden, and How He Lost His Magic Sword
- The All-Father's Forebodings: How He Leaves Asgard
- Odin Goes to Mimir's Well - His Sacrifice for Wisdom
- How Thor and Loki Befooled Thrym the Giant
- Ægir's Feast: How Thor Triumphed
- Loki the Betrayer
- Baldur's Doom
- Sigurd at the House of the Nibelungs
- The Twilight of the Gods
And many, many more!
Norse Mythology and the Modern Human Being
Ernst Uehli
Translated by Rudolf Copple
$16.00Add a review
This is a valuable study of a mythology that has as much to do with the future of human evolution as it does with these old stories of the Norse gods. Uehli moves systematically through the major figures in this ancient saga, reflecting on the deeper meaning and showing why they are so valuable for children, especially those in the fourth grade. It will provide insight for teachers, parents, and other adults who hope to answer some of the life questions of today.
Norwegian Folk Tales
From the collection of Peter Christien Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe

Jacob Grimm once said that the Norwegian folk tales "surpass nearly all others." This collection, long held as a treasure in Norway, justifies that opinion. Within these captivating tales we meet witches, trolls, and ogres; sly foxes and great, mysterious bears; beautiful princesses and country-lads-turned-heroes. Collected here in a sparkling contemporary translation by Pat Shaw Iversen and Carl Norman, these tales brim with the matchless vitality and power of their original telling. Included also are the rich illustrations of Erik Werenskiold and Theodor Kittelsen.
These tales are a delight to read and delicious to retell!
Swedish Folk Tales

$22.95Add a review
from "Leap Elk and Little Princess Cottongrass"
This dazzling collection of twenty-nine illustrated stories, retold by some of the greatest Swedish writers, includes:
- "When Mother Troll Took in the King's Washing" by Elsa Beskow
- "The Magician's Cape" by Anna Wahlenberg
- "Leap the Elk and the Little Princess Cottongrass" by Helge Kjellin
- "The Four Big Trolls and Little PetHer Pastureman" by Cyrus Granér
- "The Trolls and the Youngest Tomte" by Alfred Smedberg
- "The Ring" by Helena Nyblom
- "The Seven Wishes" by Alfred Smedberg
- "Stalo and Kauras" by P. A. Lindholm
- "The Maiden in the Castle of Rosy Clouds" by Harald Ostenson
- "The Boy and the Trolls, or the Adventure" by Walter Stenström
- "The Crofters and the Gnomes" by Anna Wahlenberg
- "The Golden Key" by W. E. Björk
- "The Giant Who Slept for Ten Thousand Years" by Einar Rosenborg
- ... and many more!
John Bauer's original and evocative illustrations bring these classic Swedish folk tales to life. His art seems to me to be a combination of earthly idealism and a fascintating evocation of spiritual reality (or perhaps "elemental reality"). It is no wonder that he is so beloved in Sweden. This collection, paired with his paintings, makes this a book to treasure for generations.
Because of the complexity of some of the themes, as well as the rather robust encounters of humans and elemental beings, I personally recommend this collection for children ages 9 and older, though some of the stories are appropriate for younger children.
Russian Fairy Tales
Illustrated by Aleksander Nickolaivicher Afanasyev
$18.95Add a review
This is the largest collection of these beautiful, rich stories that I know of. Beautifully retold, charmingly illustrated in Russian folk-art style, this is a treasure that will serve you and your children for years and years. Nearly 200 characteristic and colorful traditional folk and fairy tales are brought together in the only comprehensive edition available in English.
I especially love the Russian tales because they are so richly woven - there is a glorious "fullness" to them, with a wonderful sense of detail that never mires, but always results in the most engaging, most multi-layered folk tales I have encountered. Our children heard and read hundreds of fairy tales - these are the ones they most often mention as still living in their adult hearts.
As Eudora Welty wrote when the original edition was published in 1945, "These tales are gorgeous."
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!
English Fairy Tales
Collected by Joseph Jacobs
Illustrated by John D Batten
$12.95Add a review
At the end of the 19th Century, one of England's greatest folklorist (and a mighty storyteller!) brought to life so very many of the folk tales succeeding generations have loved as their own. The kings and queens, the wicked giants, clever youngests sons, talking animals and trees, magic cloaks - all are the ingredients of wonderful stories that stir the imagination and delight the heart.
In this volume you'll find many tales you already know and many that will be new to you. "Jack and the Beanstalk," "The Story of the Three Bears," "Henny Penny," and 40 more await you and your children.
Celtic Myths and Legends
T. W. Rolleston
with 76 illustrations from the original edition as well as background essays on the history and culture of the Celts
$12.95Add a review
For those who would like to learn something about the people behind the great Celtic myths, this edition is a gift. Originally published in 1917, it gathers together in one place pretty much the full core of Celtic mythology and historical legends. The author, in addition to lending these stories a voice through which the magic and panoply of these tales that now belong to the entire world, also illuminates the world of the Celts through his introductory essays. Those essays, in my opinion, make this book a resource to be treasured.
As for the stories, they are pure enchantment. Focusing mainly on Irish myths, Rolleston takes us into the myths of the Irish invasion and the early Milesian kings. You'll meet Queen Maev, Cuchulain the Giant, King Arthur and his knights (including the Grail quest) and much more.
In the Waldorf curriculum, these stories will fit nicely into the history and literature of the 6th grade. Outside Waldorf schools, I would recommend them for anyone 12 or older.
Celtic Folk and Fairy Tales
Collected by Joseph Jacobs
$8.95Add a review
This collection of Celtic tales is most noteworthy for its inclusion of many tales that are (at least in our day and age) "for adults only." Or, at least for those over 13 or so. For this, we owe him a great debt of gratitude, as these tales give glimpses into the life of the Celtic peoples, most often in relationship to the incoming Christian religion. This sort of glimpse into a more living history is rare and informs in ways that simple statements about the outcomes of battles, who ruled whom and when and so forth cannot do. I can't recommend reading these and other such tales to highly - they are treasures.
There are, though, several stories you may happily share with children: "Jack the Cunning Thief," "The Greek Princess and the Young Gardener," "The Russet Dog" and many others. For these tales, this book will find a place as stories at bedtime and in lessons - many are relatively unknown and quite wonderful, too.
For children ages 7 and up when wisely selected by an adult; for adolescents and adults on their own.
Great Myths of the World
Selected and Retold by Padraic Colum
Identical to Myths of the World, but in an older typesetting.
$12.95Add a review
As a tour of the world's great civilizations and the myths that give voice to their cultures, Padraic Colum's stands out as being not only sweeping in scope but beautiful in voice.As a tour of the world's great civilizations and the myths that give voice to their cultures, Padraic Colum's stands out as being not only sweeping in scope but beautiful in voice. Colum has selected what I will call 'keystone myths' from the ancient cultures that have informed our modern world:
Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Post-Christian Judaism, Greece, Rome, Graeco-Rome, the Celtic world, Finland (Kalevala), Iceland, India, China, Japan, Polynesia, Peru, Central America and Mexico, Zuni.
Colum also treats us to his wonderful essay, "The Significance of Mythology."
This one-volume edition carries within its covers more cultural heartbeats and beautiful vision than any other single book I can think of. Great Myths of the World is a book to enjoy throughout a lifetime. In Waldorf education, many of these myths are at the heart of 4th and 5th grade curricula.
Advent and Christmas Stories
A treasury of stories, verses and songs
Estelle Bryer and Janni Nicol
$28.00Add a review
This illustrated treasury of over fifty stories, verses, songs and puppet plays range from Advent and the Twelve Days of Christmas, to the flight into Egypt. Estelle Bryer and Janni Nicol tell their favorite Christmas stories with an approach that is both simple and profound. They draw on their lifelong experience as Waldorf kindergarten educators, puppeteers, and as mothers. These stories will delight young children, and invite parents and teachers to become more confident storytellers.
Estelle Bryer and Janni Nicol offer a treasury of Christmas stories that create a peaceful, enfolding space for our children, where wonder can do its healing work. Each of these tales inspires us to take a deep, fulfilling breath of imagination and let Christmas radiance grow in our eyes, words and hearts. They lead us beyond the ordinary laws of nature into the truth of miracles and wonders: we discover the holiness of rabbits and birds, turtles and trees as they guide the holy family.
Nancy Mellon, author of Storytelling with Children
Warm, wonderful, delightful! Highly recommended!
Stories for the Festivals of the Year
Told for Children
Irene Johanson
$19.95Add a review
I had never heard of this little treasure of a book until a few weeks ago. In fact, I had never seen a copy until those I had requested sight unseen arrived at my door.
It's been a long time since I was in a community where simple yet deep and beautiful stories were told at festival times -- Irene Johanson has brought that all back to me and offers it to anyone who opens her book. Although these tales for the Christian festivals are indeed told for children, it is hard for me to imagine anyone who could listen to or read these stories without loving them.
Most of the stories are quite short, which is good not only because they can be told at bedtime, but because there is so much imaginative gold contained in each that these small portions allow the heart to wrap itself completely around the stories and lets the mind imagine each one to the fullest.
- Easter, Ascension and Whitson - 9 different stories
- Legends about St. John (the Baptist) - 10 stories
- The Marriage of the King's Son (for Michaelmas) - 3 stories
- The Animals' Joy at Christmas - 6 stories
- Star Legends for Epiphany - 6 stories
- Holy Week - 6 stories
Puck the Gnome
Jakob Streit
$15.00Add a review
Written by master storyteller, Jacob Streit, Puck the Gnome is one of the most delightful children·s stories to appear in quite awhile. Puck is a hard-working fellow whose one foot faces forward while the other faces backward (something many of us can relate to, I suspect). Streit's delightful tale illuminates the world of the hard-working gnomes through the courage and antics of the one who's literally coming and going at the same time. The moral insights, wisdom, humor, and true goodness found in Puck·s adventures will delight both children and adults. The illustrations by Georges Feldmann are truly magical.

Telcos to offer Asus e-book reader in Q1 2010, hint execs
Multiple wireless options on board
Asus' upcoming e-book reader will incorporate Wi-Fi, 3G and WiMax technologies, company executives have apparently claimed.
They've said almost nothing else about the device, mind. Even the screen size - said to be 9in - and the price - hoped to be under £100 - come from speculation and gadget buyer desire rather than official leaks.
That price is highly unlikely if the e-book reader combines all three wireless connectivity modes, but there's nothing the unnamed executives said that indicates the reader will contain all three.
Asus, like all other Taiwanese manufacturers, is obsessed with multiple model numbers, so we can surely expect readers with none, one, some or all of these connectivity options. We'll have our eye on the first of these potential SKUs, but there's no guarantee any or all will make it to specific territories.
The WiMax models will only go to territories with commercial WiMax infrastructure, and it seems that the 3G model will be pitched at carriers who can then give it away with expensive airtime packages. This may happen in March 2010, the executives said. ®

VANCOUVER — Craig MacTavish has stepped down as head coach of the Vancouver Canucks' minor-league affiliate in Chicago after just one season to rejoin the Edmonton Oilers.
Shortly after the Canucks issued a release saying MacTavish was leaving the Chicago Wolves to "pursue other opportunities," the Oilers announced that MacTavish had been appointed the team's senior vice-president of operations.
MacTavish was the Oilers' head coach for eight seasons beginning in 2000. The London, Ont., native, who led Oilers to the Stanley Cup Final in 2006 when they lost in seven games to the Carolina Hurricanes, was fired in 2009 after the Oilers missed the playoffs for a third straight season.
"Craig brought a tremendous amount of experience and expertise as head coach of the Wolves this past season," Canuck general manager Mike Gillis said in a news release. "We were pleased to have him as a member of our organization and wish him continued success in the future."
MacTavish, 53, was the eighth head coach in Wolves franchise history and helped lead the club to a 42-27-4 record and a fourth Midwest Division Championship since joining the AHL.
Gillis must now find a replacement for MacTavish. Scott Arniel, who was fired by the Columbus Blue Jackets last season, is one possibility. Arniel had considerable success coaching the Canucks' farm team when it was located in Winnipeg.

NEWARK, N.J. -- Authorities say an executive with the NBA's New Orleans Hornets has been charged with criminal possession of a weapon after a handgun was found in his checked baggage at New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport.
The Transportation Security Administration says team vice president of event presentation and broadcasting Joshua Richardson was headed back to Louisiana on Friday when agents found the gun in his bag. It's unclear if the gun was loaded.
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police say Richardson was charged because he didn't have a permit to possess the weapon in New Jersey.
The TSA says passengers are allowed to put firearms and firearms components in checked baggage as long as all regulations are followed.
The Hornets said Monday they and Richardson won't comment.

TORONTO — It's essential to improve the socio-economic status of Israel's Arab minorities and incorporate them more fully into Israeli life, participants at the second Irwin Green Conference in Toronto were told.
"There is a significant deficit of resource allocation, of public attention… There is a profound under-representation, in fields of higher education and in various sectors, of Israel's minorities," said DJ Schneeweiss, the Israeli consul general for Toronto and Western Canada, at the conference organized by the Israeli Arab issues committee of UJA Federation of Greater Toronto. The theme of the conference, held at the Lipa Green Centre March 3, was "Israel's untapped potential."
"This is a drag on the economy, on our society, a potential time bomb and we have to address these inequalities," Schneeweiss said.
Amal Elsana Ahl'jooj, a Bedouin woman living in Israel, said Israel's minorities must have access to the same education and basic necessities that everyone else has. She's the fifth of 13 children, and she grew up with no water, no schools, no health clinics and no infrastructure.
"I didn't choose to be an activist. I had tasks to do," she said.
At age five, she was the family shepherd, but there was one bright side, she said – "I had the great opportunity not to be raised in the kitchen. I was raised in the mountains, by myself."
Her grandmother was the one who encouraged her to change their way of living, Ahl'jooj said. "She taught me you don't have to cry and see yourself as a victim. You have to see yourself as someone who's able to change her own situation, take the lead and do things you believe in."
Even at five years old, she became aware that women were not equal in her society, she said. "Seeing your mother giving your brother a nice piece of chicken and not you, only because you are a girl. And they got a new coat, and you did not, only because you are a girl. This is very painful for a child," she said.
She also noticed very early on that she was a second-class citizen in Israel. "I remember the day when the police forces came to destroy my aunt's house. I asked my father why and he said, 'Because we are Arabs.'"
She said she came to the conference to describe her situation and offer hope.
At 14, she started teaching women in her village how to read and write – her mother was one of her first students. At 17, she established the first Bedouin women's organization dealing with women's rights in a patriarchal society.
One of the biggest challenges she deals with, she said, is that there is "no connection between democracy and minority rights. The average person will travel from his own city to Eilat, passing through the Bedouin villages and not asking himself a single question [about] why these people living without water, without electricity."
In order to change the situation, she founded the Arab Jewish Center for Equality, Empowerment and Cooperation (AJEEC) in 2000, which focuses on strengthening Jewish-Arab relations.
It's a huge challenge – Arab Bedouins and Druze make up only a small percentage of Israel's minorities.
Raya and Maimoon Azmi, a Druze couple who spoke at the conference, believe the Israeli government needs to create more inter-communal co-operation.
"The first time you meet a Druze is in the army," Raya Azmi said. "Why don't [Jewish Israelis] have trips to our villages, and not only to eat pita?"
The conference is named for philanthropist Irwin Green, who believed that more equality can strengthen the future of Israel. In 2000, at age 90, he became aware of Jewish-Arab inequalities and he established a development centre for Arab kids, two computer centres, a soccer field, a community centre and a youth centre, his son, Don Green said.
"His last project was a vocational school for Arab women," Green said. "He passed away in Israel, a few months before he turned 100.
"He firmly believed in the importance of education [as] the key for people to advance themselves in Israel."

Yale University Art Gallery
Commission brief: To accommodate the school of architecture in the Yale University Art Gallery building through an addition to the original gallery. The addition was to house classrooms, studios and additional gallery space.
Design brief: Kahn designed a modern addition to the original gallery to accommodate the specified program.
Louis I. Kahn's Yale University Art Gallery is a simple, unadorned modern structure. The building's overall plan is two conjoined rectangles—the larger being approximately 140 ft x 80 ft and the smaller being approximately 40 ft x 50 ft. The façade's primary materials are glass and brick. On the northeast and northwest facades various rectangular pieces of glass interlock to form a curtain wall that does not reveal the interior frame of the building. The southwest facade is solid brick with projecting stone courses. The building is connected to the original gallery at the southeast. A sculpture court is also incorporated into the building exterior. The interior gallery space is open plan with moveable partitions for adaptability. Two stairways are centrally located. One stairway, of cylindrical shape with triangular landings, is particularly distinctive. The ceilings and floor frames are concrete, tetrahedral shaped slabs. The majority of interior materials are left unfinished—the most significant of which is the concrete walls on which the artwork is hung.
Steel beam with concrete, brick and stone
Name of surrounding building: Yale University Art Gallery (1928, designed by Edgerton Swartout)
The Yale University Art Gallery is the first time Kahn created a major structure of reinforced concrete. Additionally, the use of cast concrete tetrahedral slabs as floor frames and ceilings was an altogether new innovation. By placing the building services in a central location with the stairwells, Kahn created an open space with moveable partitions. This provided interior flexibility that was both practical and inventive. The unfinished concrete walls provide a simple and honest surface on which to the display art.
The gallery has been used by generations of Yale students.
The gallery is an important visual and cultural presence at Yale and in the community of New Haven. Since the building was an addition, its success in relating to the existing structure is essential to its overall success. Patricia Cummings Loud notes that the gallery's dimensions, proportions and colors blend the new structure with the old. The building's most notable elements are its tactile materials and surfaces, bold geometric forms, crisp lines, and sensitive use of light. The variety and tensions that stem from the interplay of these elements (such as the play with natural and artificial light and the tension between delicate partitions and heavy concrete walls) creates a dynamic and aesthetically successful space. Canonical status: Often considered the first of Kahn's masterpieces, The Yale Art Gallery is representative of a new dimension in Kahn's work and foreshadows the works of his later career. In the larger sense, Kahn's gallery "Represented a turn away from mainstream Modernism" and, in essence, "escaped…Modernism's suffocating orthodoxies." This departure reflects the evolving aesthetic of the modern style and opened a new period of modern design. Some, such as architect Reyner Banham, cite this work as the inspiration for Brutalist architecture.

So, apparently, this had to do with drinking 'shots' and giving out pilot call signs....a normal practice, I guess. But one female pilot was given a 'vulgar' call sign that was inappropriate. The pilot did not complain about it or think it was a big deal...but somehow word got up and house was cleaned.WASHINGTON — The Air Force removed three top commanders at Laughlin Air Force Base on Wednesday citing concerns about dangerous and threatening behavior at the major pilot training installation in Texas, the service's Air Education and Training Command announced. The chief of AETC, Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast, fired Col. Charles Velino, the commander of the 47th Flying Training Wing, and the commanders of its operations group and flying training squadron citing "chronic leadership failures" raised in an investigation into widespread officer misconduct within the unit, according to an Air Force statement released Wednesday. The statement did not name the commanders of the operations group or the flying training squadron.
More to the story, I'm sure...there was also something about a threat being given to someone....no details on who threatened who or why.
Call signs should probably be somewhat professional since it actually follows the pilot through their career....I think it's a cool tradition, but always some knuckleheads will mess it up for everyone.
The Voice of Reason
The most important six inches on the battlefield ... is between your ears.
The most important six inches on the battlefield ... is between your ears.
The most important six inches on the battlefield ... is between your ears.
And with all the crap people these days, seem to get offended by, that would almost make it to where you might as well not speak to a single person in ear shot of anyone else, just to avoid the potential to not offend anyone, anywhere, ever..

When these branches go into the main phpBB repository they are renamed <category>/<user>/<name-or-id> or user/<category>/<name-or-id> to make clear from which developer's repository the branch was merged.

You should always create a ticket before starting work. It is important that every commit references a ticket. It does not matter what state that ticket is in. No line should contain more than 79 characters. The first line should be followed by a blank line. This means you should not break the first sentence of your message! The purpose of this is to maintain useful --oneline logs which only display the first line of every message. A good commit message then looks like this:
[branch you are working on] A short explanation of the change. A more detailed explanation of which things exactly were changed and for what reasons. This can span multiple paragraphs for a bigger change. And it should really make clear all the changes to anyone reading this commit message without further context. TICKET-ID
An example:
[feature/request-class] Adding request class ported from ascraeus-experiment. The well known request_var function is now a wrapper that calls a method on a phpbb_request object. The class provides additional functionality. It can replace all super globals with special objects that throw errors when being accessed. They still allow isset operations to keep backward compatibility with isset($_POST['var']) checks. The phpbb_request class implements the phpbb_request_interface which is available for easy mocking of input in tests. PHPBB3-1234
The structure of a commit message which is verified by the commit-msg hook is as follows:
[<branch>] <summary> <description> <ticket1> <ticketn>
The required components are the summary, branch, and list of tickets; the description is optional. Both the description and ticket list must be preceded by a _single_ empty line. The description element is unrestricted length and may contain any number of empty lines to separate paragraphs; each ticket in the list must be on its own line. If the branch is a [ticket/] branch, the ticket list must contain a matching ticket, finally the ticket list may not contain any duplicates.
DevelopersDevelopers should fork a copy of the repository on GitHub from [1] and then clone as instructed by GitHub. That should involve a command such as
git clone email@example.com:<my_github_name>/phpbb3.git
so in preparation you'll need your own github account, then browse to the phpbb github repo, click the 'fork' button
- E-mail address:
git config --add user.email email@example.com
- Add the upstream remote (you can change 'upstream' to whatever you like):
git remote add upstream git://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3.git
NB the upstream remote url is the phpbb github repo, while you are cloning from your fork of the phpbb github repo
The phpBB repository contains some client-side hooks that can aid development. They are located in the git-tools/hooks directory. These hooks do things like preparing and validating commit messages, checking for PHP syntax errors. There is a script to set them up (which symlinks them into .git/hooks).
cd git-tools/hooks ./install
In case you get an error, stating the hooks already exist. Simply remove all files from .git/hooks and re-run the install script.
Creating local branches
To work on phpBB you need to create local branches of whichever develop branches you need, issue the following command to perform this operation:
git checkout -b develop origin/develop
Pulling in upstream changes
You will need to merge in changes made to the upstream repository for them to appear in your fork, the steps to do this follow. I'm assuming you are performing this on the develop branch, but it could be a bug fix branch or a develop release branch, so ensure you are on the correct branch using git branch and change with git checkout if required.
- Pull the changes from the upstream develop branch:
git pull upstream develop
- Push the changes back to your fork (substitute develop for the current branch):
git push origin develop
The following image visualises the phpBB 3 branching model. It may help to understand the different branches this section refers to later.
Bug fixing
Ensure you are using the correct develop branch first and not a master branch. In this example we are using develop-olympus.
- git checkout develop-olympus # Checkout the base branch
- git branch ticket/12345 # Create a new branch for your bug fix
- git checkout ticket/12345 # Switch to the new branch
- Make your changes
- git add <files> # Stage the files
- git commit # Commit staged files - please use a correct commit message: Git Commit Messages
- Make more changes & commits if necessary
- git push origin ticket/12345 # Push the branch back to github
Starting a new feature
Ensure you are using the correct develop branch first and not a master branch. In this example we are using develop.
- git checkout develop # Checkout the base branch
- git checkout -b feature/my-fancy-new-feature # Create a new branch for your feature & switch to it
- Make your changes
- git add <files> # Stage the files
- git commit # Commit staged files - please use a correct commit message: Git Commit Messages
- Make more changes & commits
- git push origin feature/my-fancy-new-feature # Push the branch back to github
Collaborating with other developers on a feature
You have pushed a new feature to github and another developer has worked on it. This is how you can integrate their changes into your own feature branch.
- git remote add otherdeveloper git://github.com/otherdeveloper/phpbb3.git # Add the other developer's repository as a remote
- git fetch otherdeveloper # Fetch otherdeveloper's changes
- git checkout feature/my-fancy-new-feature # Switch to the feature branch
- git merge otherdeveloper/feature/my-fancy-new-feature # Merge otherdeveloper's changes into your feature branch
- If necessary resolve conflicts & commit
- git push origin feature/my-fancy-new-feature # Push the branch back to github
Merging a feature or bugfix branch
Once a feature or bugfix is complete it can be merged back into the develop branch. To preserve history we never fast forward such merges. In this example we will merge the bugfix created earlier into develop-olympus. We then merge the changes into develop to keep that branch up to date.
- git checkout develop-olympus # Branch we want to merge into, pull in upstream changes first.
- git merge --no-ff remote/ticket/12345 # Merge remote branch without fast forward
- git checkout develop # Branch we want to merge into, pull in upstream changes first.
- git merge --no-ff develop-olympus # Merge to keep the develop branches in sync
- git push origin develop-olympus develop # Push the two changed branches back to github
Additionally the merge.log config setting of Git is set to true, producing a summary of merged commits.
Merging into phpbb3 repository
This only applies to Development Team Members. The following steps should be taken when merging a topic branch into the phpbb3 repository.
Note that tests should be run prior to merging to the official repository. Tests are run for each push to a pull request by Travis (Continuous Integration) but it is a good idea to run them yourself as well. For more information, read Automated_Tests
Merging only to develop
NOTE: upstream below is the remote pointing to the official phpbb3 repository, and origin points to your fork.
- git remote update upstream
- git checkout develop
- git reset --hard upstream/develop
- git merge --no-ff <author>/<branch> (example: git merge --no-ff naderman/ticket/000000)
- git push origin develop
Before continuing, look at your commit list in your fork to make sure it looks correct. If unsure, ask.
- git push upstream develop
Merging to develop-olympus
(ALL merges to develop-olympus must also be merged to develop!)
- git remote update upstream
- git checkout develop-olympus
- git reset --hard upstream/develop-olympus
- git merge --no-ff <author>/<branch> (example: git merge --no-ff naderman/ticket/000000)
- git push origin develop-olympus
- git checkout develop
- git reset --hard upstream/develop
- git merge --no-ff develop-olympus
- git push origin develop
Before continuing, look at your commit list in your fork to make sure it looks correct. If unsure, ask.
- git push upstream develop-olympus
- git push upstream develop
If you use git on windows you should disable the AutoCrlf which translates "\n" to "\r\n" automatically.
If you don't use TortoiseGit: To do that you must use the following command:
git config core.autocrlf input
If you want to apply to all repositories you may use the --global option. Like this:
git config --global core.autocrlf input
The difference is that, if you don't use the global option, any new repository you create will not have this option properly set for phpBB development which may cause errors to occur while committing or when executing any php file.
For those who use TortoiseGit (and used to work with TortoiseSVN)
NOTE: When you use TortoiseGit the first time, you need to disable AutoCrlf in Settings > Git > Config, so your line-ends are not changed from LF to CR-LF. You also need to edit the local .git/config and add the following code, so you can correctly merge branches (you need to do that on every git repository you have):
[merge] log = True
Create your own SSH key
TortoiseGit will automatically use the SSH key
Note: I used the OpenSSH option during installation, so I am not sure if this works for the other option or if you are supposed to do it some other way
Then simply clone the repository to your local system and the rest is mostly like TortoiseSVN.
- Pull
- Grab the updates from upstream
- Commit
- Commits the changes locally (you must Push or Sync to commit the changes to the repository)
- Push
- Pushes the changes that were locally made into the repository
- Sync
- Pushes/Pulls changes with more options
TIP - Always Pull first then Commit then Push, this will help you to not end up with merge conflicts.

Plans to build a new Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage store in South Jeffco are moving forward.
The Jeffco commissioners on Jan. 15 approved rezoning of land at South Kipling Parkway and West Coal Mine Avenue. Zoning on part of the 1.5-acre lot had to be changed from agricultural 1 to planned development.
The zoning change gives the green light for ground to be broken on the more than 15,000-square-foot organic grocery store, which will replace the company's store at South Simms Street and West Ken Caryl Avenue.
It isn't easy shopping with a food allergy.
Despite all the choices in the cereal aisle, products geared toward those who must be watchful of some common ingredients are somewhat limited. And Diana Jeanene knows this all too well —she developed a gluten allergy six years ago.
"First of all, a lot of gluten-free products were not good,"Jeanene said.
Jeanene felt the gluten-free choices were lacking in important attributes, like taste —when she could even find them.
The first thing visitors will notice when they walk into Koko FitClub Columbine is the absence of pumping, loud music and the lack of mirrors. Instead, visitors are greeting with quiet pop music, serene colors and gentle lighting.
"It's the world's first and only automated personal training studio," Koko FitClub owner Alex Keller said. "It's a fusion of technology and exercise and makes exercise accessible for people who have trouble, for different reasons, maintaining an exercise program."
South Metro Housing Options is ramping up its efforts to reach landlords through its new rental rehab program while it continues its regular housing rehab program.
Through a partnership with FirstBank, the housing rehab program offers 10-year, low-interest loans to low-income residents of Arapahoe County for rehabilitating their homes. The rental rehab program offers similarly low rates to landlords who have low-income families as tenants.
Walmart appears to be planning to open a second Neighborhood Market store in the South Jeffco area in the long-vacant Ultimate Electronics building at 8196 W. Bowles Ave.
Last summer, Walmart opened a Neighborhood Market in the vacant Alberstons in the shopping center at the northeast corner of Bowles and South Lowell Street.
The Neighborhood Market includes a pharmacy, bakery, deli, produce and personal products but no clothing or hard goods.
A Planning Commission hearing on the proposed rezoning near Chatfield Bluffs ended abruptly Oct. 24 after the applicants walked away at the last minute, leaving the audience and the panel of seven commissioners somewhat stunned and wondering how to proceed.
About 75 people had turned out to oppose a plan to put a car dealership on vacant property in the Jefferson Corporate Center off C-470 and Kipling Parkway.

For the Courier
If you heard goblins and ghouls a-groanin' on Saturday, perhaps you attended the Pumpkin Boot Camp Festival at Arapahoe Community College.
Now in its sixth year, the event, presented by Camp MissFits and the ACC Foundation, is a fund-raiser for ACC's fitness center.
Priscilla Friedlander, the boot camp director who's also connected with Camp MissFits, said the event is key for maintaining the fitness center.
In 1968, two boys fishing at a Littleton watering hole snagged an old shopping cart. To their pre-teen imaginations, it looked like part of an amusement-park ride.
The cart soon became the foundation of a basement-based haunted house that the boys created out of a plaster skull they got from their older brother, a footlocker for a coffin, bedding hanging from the rafters, string, and other props found around the house.
The Alamo Draft House is building an 800-seat theater facility in the Aspen Grove shopping center that the company hopes will change the way you see movies. For those who may be yawning at the notion of yet another movie theater in the area, read on.
The company, which opened in 1997 in Austin, Texas, bills itself as something more than the average cineplex.
Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage plans to open a 15,000-square-foot "full-service organic grocery" at South Kipling Parkway and West Coal Mine Avenue, north of the Chase Bank on Kipling. The site had previously been considered for a multi-story assisted-living center.
The proposed store will replace an existing outlet in the shopping center on the northeast corner of South Simms Street and West Ken Caryl Avenue.

It's hard to believe that this past Saturday, Asher turned 2! Remember way back when, I found out I was pregnant and this happened? And then remember how Asher decided to make things difficult as he entered into the world? Where has the time gone?
At 2 yrs old, you weigh about 26 lbs and I have know idea how tall you are because you won't stand still long enough for me to measure you.
You define the saying, "all boy." No one has ever had to force you to throw a ball. You love any kind of ball! Earlier this year, we were visiting Grandma & Paps and you, Paps & Max played basketball together. From that moment, you have associated basketball with Max & you renamed him, "Max-ball." It's so cute, that pretty much everyone in our family calls him that now!
You also gave your cousin Mia a new name too! When "baby Duuz" (Cruz) was born, you started calling her MiMi. I wish I could type the inflection in your voice when you say it. I guess it comes out like "ME!ME!"
Your vocabulary is coming along slowly but surely. Some of the funny things you say are~
Yabba-bla-bla-bla- you're trying to imitate Caleb & say Yabba Dabba Do
lelow- yellow. To you, any color is yellow & you also call any writing utensil a "lelow."
lelow truck- any car or truck that we see on the road is a lelow truck
wack wack- is your name for a duck. In fact, for all animals (that you know), you only say their sound not the name of the animal.
apple- any fruit. But the funny thing is that you and Daddy have an ongoing game between what's an apple & an orange. You are so into this little game, that when we showed you an orange crayon, you said, "it's not orange, it's apple!"
Just a couple of mornings ago, we could see the moon out one window and out the other window, we could see the sun coming up. You love to see the moon & you pointed it out to me. Then you looked out the other window and said, "look Momma, it's lelow moon!" And there was no convincing you that it's the sun, to you it's the lelow moon!
While we were at the farm, you slept on an air mattress with Chaz & Caleb. You still sleep in your baby bed at home, so you didn't do too good the 1st night. Aunt Laura found you like this:
Your two best friends- dog and baby
You love to read, especially the choo-choo train book!
Like I said earlier, you love to play with any kind of ball but you have such a love for baseball. It's amazing how this seems to be so ingrained in you. Here's a video of you hitting the baseball off the tee. When you swing, you hold your hands as if you're going to bat left handed but then you bring the bat around and hit right handed. I've tried to get you to switch your hands on the bat but in true Asher fashion, you want to do it your way! You also step into your swing and hike your leg when you throw the ball. It's pretty amazing because we've never shown you how to do that!
Untitled from Cheryl A on Vimeo.
Asher, we love you so much. Life with you is fun and challenging. You make us laugh and sometimes you make us feel like crying! But I wouldn't change anything. You are a blessing! We love you so much!

Oliver, does this line need replacing for u8_glib?Code: [Select]M2tk m2(&el_main_menu, m2_es_arduino, m2_eh_4bs, m2_gh_lc);Yes: Please replace m2_gh_lc with m2_gh_u8g_bf (or one of the other u8g graphics handler)
M2tk m2(&el_main_menu, m2_es_arduino, m2_eh_4bs, m2_gh_lc);

QuoteTime to read up on m2tklib at http://code.google.com/p/m2tklib/wiki/After all the threads, i see that a menu lib is difficult to handle (also i think it has a simple concept). I did my best to add tutorial pages to the wiki, but i also see that there is still a lot of discussion required. I am not sure how to improve this. Let me know if something is missing... and do not hestitate to ask directly...Oliver
dannix, I had the same problem, built a huge menu, couldnt get it to work, and now turning to this option. Seems like it has much more functionality just trying to learn how to use its features
Well, working functions is a start! reading this thread I noticed the GLCD support in m2tklib.

Resolution by the Diplomatic Conference supplementary to the Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademarks and the Regulations thereunder
1. The Diplomatic Conference for the Adoption of a Revised Trademark Law Treaty, held in Singapore in March 2006, agreed that the Treaty adopted by the Conference would be named ''Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademarks'' (hereinafter referred to as ''the Treaty'').
2. When adopting the Treaty, the Diplomatic Conference agreed that the words ''procedure before the Office'' in Article l(viii) would not cover judicial procedures under the Contracting Parties' legislation.
3. Acknowledging the fact that the Treaty provides for effective and efficient trademark formality procedures for Contracting Parties, the Diplomatic Conference understood that Articles 2 and 8, respectively, did not impose any obligations on Contracting Parties to:
(i) register new types of marks, as referred to in Rule 3, paragraphs (4), (5) and (6) of the Regulations; or
(ii) implement electronic filing systems or other automation systems.
Each Contracting Party shall have the option to decide whether and when to provide for the registration of new types of marks, as referred to above.
4. With a view to facilitating the implementation of the Treaty in Developing and Least Developed Countries (LDCs), the Diplomatic Conference requested the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Contracting Parties to provide additional and adequate technical assistance comprising technological, legal and other forms of support to strengthen the institutional capacity of those countries to implement the Treaty and enable those countries to take full advantage of the provisions of the Treaty.
5. Such assistance should take into account the level of technological and economic development of beneficiary countries. Technological support would help improve the information and communication technology infrastructure of those countries, thus contributing to narrowing the technological gap between Contracting Parties. The Diplomatic Conference noted that some countries underlined the importance of the Digital Solidarity Fund (DSF) as being relevant to narrowing the digital divide.
6. Furthermore, upon entry into force of the Treaty, Contracting Parties will undertake to exchange and share, on a multilateral basis, information and experience on legal, technical and institutional aspects regarding the implementation of the Treaty and how to take full advantage of opportunities and benefits resulting therefrom.
7. The Diplomatic Conference, acknowledging the special situation and needs of LDCs, agreed that LDCs shall be accorded special and differential treatment for the implementation of the Treaty, as follows:
(a) LDCs shall be the primary and main beneficiaries of technical assistance by the Contracting Parties and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO);
(b) such technical assistance includes the following:
(i) assistance in establishing the legal framework for the implementation of the Treaty,
(ii) information, education and awareness raising as regards the impact of acceding to the Treaty,
(iii) assistance in revising administrative practices and procedures of national trademark registration authorities,
(iv) assistance in building up the necessary trained manpower and facilities of the IP Offices, including information and communication technology capacity to effectively implement the Treaty and its Regulations.
8. The Diplomatic Conference requested the Assembly to monitor and evaluate, at every ordinary session, the progress of the assistance related to implementation efforts and the benefits resulting from such implementation.
9. The Diplomatic Conference agreed that any dispute that may arise between two or more Contracting Parties with respect to the interpretation or the application of this Treaty should be settled amicably through consultation and mediation under the auspices of the Director General.
