NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Some sentiment readings suggest investors may have jumped the gun in anticipating another weak May for stocks, meaning perhaps the opposite is more likely.
Concerns about European sovereign debt and a slowdown in the U.S. economy have sparked sharp market declines starting in May of the last two years. Since worries about Spain's debt and economy have increased recently, investors appear to be assuming the worst once again. Some analysts feel this could work in the bulls' favor this year.
The S&P 500 SPX, +1.32% fell 8.2% in May 2010, and another 5.4% in June. In 2011, the S&P 500 fell just 1.4% in May, but another 16% over the following three months.
Ahead of those May declines, the S&P 500 rose 1.5% in April 2010 and gained 2.8% in April 2011. With the index down 0.5% at 1397 in midday trading Monday, the index is so far on track to end with a 0.8% decline in April.
"When a trend worked well two years in a row, many investors...will jump on the trend and not only look for a three-peat but wipe alternative thoughts completely away," said James Meyer, chief investment officer at Tower Bridge Advisors.
The American Association of Individual Investors said the percentage of retail investors who are bullish for the next six months dropped to 27.6%, well below the long-term average of 39%. That's the lowest percentage since the week ending Sept. 22, 2011, which was just 1 1/2 weeks before the current bull market began.
And the latest reading showed that short interest on the NYSE as of the April 13 settlement rose to 12.93 billion shares, up 2.5% from March 30, and the highest level seen so far in 2012. Investors will "short," or borrow shares and then sell them, as a bet that prices will fall so the shares can be repurchased later at a lower price.
What makes this year different is that despite recent signs of some slowing, Tower Bridge's Meyer said the American economy is stronger than it has been for years and still improving. "Since most of us are more interested in America than Spain, that's good news," Meyer said.
Other chart watchers have different reason not to expect a repeat of recent history.
Tom McClellan, publisher of the McClellan Market Report, said his Democratic Presidential Cycle Pattern, which he builds by averaging together the performance of the S&P 500 during four-year periods when the president was a Democrat, suggests that, while stocks aren't poised to rally in May, the downside is limited.
"It appears that we have seen all of the real price damage that we are likely to see for this correction, even though there is still more time needed to finish the corrective period," McClellan said.
Basically, the old Wall Street saying of "sell in May and go away" doesn't seem to work during Democratic election years. "Instead, one should be buying in May, ahead of the anticipated big June rally," McClellan said.
Support levels to watch for the S&P 500 start at the April 23 low of 1359, followed by the March 6 low of 1340.
Meanwhile, resistance remains close at 1422, which was the multi-year high seen in intraday trading April 2.
"While technical speed bumps remain in place, we are encouraged by the sentiment backdrop, as there is sideline money and short-covering potential to push major [market indexes] through resistance," said Schaeffer's Investment Research Director of Research Todd Salamone.
If the 1422 level is surpassed, the technical picture would be clear for a rally back above the 1500 level.

Santa Barbara, California Travel Guide
Santa Barbara Summary
- Cozy, small-town vibe with a walkable core
- Beautiful setting between the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Mountains
- Pleasant climate, with temperatures ranging from mid-60s to mid-70s year-round, and late summer climbing into the mid-80s
- Lush environment -- a mix of redwoods, cacti, and sweet-smelling wildflowers
- Highly-rated, world-famous wineries
- Renowned fine dining restaurants
- Eclectic cuisine, from fresh seafood, to authentic Italian and Mexican
- Beautiful Mission-style architecture -- a local ordinance requires all commercial construction to abide by the Mission style
- The Funk Zone -- a formerly industrial, now Bohemian area with art galleries an a surfing museum
- Accessible by Amtrak and Greyhound buses
- Only about 90 miles away from LAX airport
- Popular hiking trails at Mission Canyon
- Pricey, especially during the summer months, when the area is in its peak season
- Downtown bars cater to the nearby university crowds (a pro for some!)
- Some may find the downtown area a little stodgy
What It's Like
This red-roofed town, only an hour or so outside of Los Angeles, might as well be on another planet. With stucco, Mission-style buildings, mild temperatures, local restaurants, and beautiful views of the ocean and mountains, it doesn't feel like you're in the most populated state in the U.S.
Casual and laid-back, Santa Barbara echoes a Mediterranean-like song. Despite its small size, there are a surprising number of significant tourist attractions. Namely: The Santa Barbara Mission, a wonderful illustration of California's Franciscan-Spanish architecture; Stearns Wharf, a long deep-water pier with restaurants, shops, and the Ty Warner Sea Center; the Santa Barbara Zoo; and the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. State Street is the town's main drag, and features boutiques, the shops at Paseo Nuevo (including a Nordstrom), art galleries, and quaint restaurants.
Numerous beaches offer surfboard rentals along with small waves, perfect for beginners. The "back country" has an outstanding collection of wineries, and wine tasting excursions depart daily. Outdoor enthusiasts will find kayaking, paragliding, hiking, and golfing. Nightlife is pretty happening, thanks to the nearby university crowd that frequents Santa Barbara, especially on Thursday nights.
Where To Stay
Many hotels are clustered near the picturesque waterfront west of Stearns Wharf and State Street, offering easy access to the beach and, in some cases, ocean views. But they'll cost you dearly. More hotels are clustered near the waterfront east of State Street, near the Santa Barbara Zoological Gardens; they're less convenient to restaurants and shops, and less expensive. Downtown Santa Barbara is a long walk or short trolley ride to the water, and staying here means being close to great shopping and dining. Visitors traveling to Santa Barbara for wine tasting might want to stay in the Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Barbara County's main wine country.

WASHINGTON - A prominent American insurance company is sounding the alarm over changes to the testing system for new agents in Canada, warning that ordinary consumers could end up being harmed.
The new testing system could lead to higher costs, less agents, and less people buying life insurance, according to Primerica, which bills itself as the largest independent financial services marketing company in North America.
The company is upset the new national testing system will be administered by the stock-market regulator in Quebec, where there are significantly higher testing fees than other provinces.
It says Canadians already have less insurance coverage than most OECD countries, and Quebec is at the lower end of that range. It says the testing system to be implemented in 2016 will only make matters worse.
The company says any additional barrier to new licences will disproportionately affect working-class and immigrant communities, which it views as its target market. If less agents sign up for the tests from those communities, it says fewer people from those communities will buy insurance.
"Our representatives sit at the kitchen tables of middle-income Canadian households, rural Canadians, new Canadians — under-served communities," said Karen Sukin, the company's head of government relations.
"The new licensing system will reduce the number of licensed life insurance representatives available to help families. It also will kill jobs and the livelihood of thousands of Canadians."
The company points to two particular concerns — the potential fee hike, which would be passed down to prospective agents and consumers; and the new four-module exam system, which will test people in separate areas unlike the all-in-one system that currently exists in most provinces.
But the company can't put a number on how much the changes would cost them, or how many people would be affected.
Primerica says that's part of the problem — it can't quite gauge the impact because it says regulators acted in haste, without consulting them or conducting a thorough impact assessment.
The Canadian Insurance Services Regulatory Organizations calls those concerns blown out of proportion.
The new exam will cost $65 to do the test, with an additional $65 fee for next five years to help recover the costs of the reform, and course providers will also charge additional fees as they already do, said CISRO chair Ron Fullan.
He says that's far cheaper than the $700 figure being floated by some opponents of the new system. In return, he says, Canada will get a single, harmonized testing system that will simplify things for interprovincial call centres and for people who move between provinces.
Another benefit, he said, is that the new four-part test will ensure agents have minimal knowledge of various aspects of their industry, while also allowing them to retake one module should they fail it — instead of having to redo the whole exam, like they do now in most provinces.
"We believe the changes made are going to enhance consumer protection, on one side," Fullan said. "And some of the revisions will also make the exam experience better for applicants. We believe it's a win-win."
One of the companies that writes the current licensing manuals and course materials, however, warns that it could go out of business.
Toronto-based Oliver Publishing Inc., which employs 20 people, says insurance manuals are a main revenue source for its operation — and it can't believe a regulatory body might be allowed to steal its business.
It says CISRO and Quebec's Autorite des marches financiers are expropriating their livelihood.
"They're gunning for private business," said Callum James, vice-president of Oliver Publishing.
"We actually build the market, show it's viable, and then they come gunning for us.... This should be of concern to anyone who runs a business that is regulated."
Primerica won't say whether it might seek legal recourse. For now, it says, it's hoping regulators might back down, or be forced to do so under political pressure.
One expert on Canada-U.S. trade, who conducted research on the issue for Primerica, said the $4 million cost to implement the new system might have been worth it — if it was actually fixing a real problem.
"You can handle paying more for a test, or a new administrative system, if there's a problem that you're solving — if there was a fundamental flaw with the previous test, if the insurance regulators are getting complaints, if consumers are unhappy, if there's a real impetus across the country for harmonization," said trade consultant Laura Dawson.
"But none of those things is actually happening... Is it really a solution looking for a problem?"
She said most of the country's testing system was already harmonized, but Quebec's wasn't. So the rest of the system moved toward Quebec, she said.
CISRO bristles at the way the new system is being characterized as some kind of Quebec takeover. Fullan says the new system will incorporate ideas from different parts of the country. The four-part exam system comes from Quebec, while ideas from other provinces will be incorporated such as group-insurance on the exam and mandatory pre-test courses, which currently aren't required in Quebec.

'Saturday Night Live's' 'Almost' Pizza Ad Reveals What's Actually in Store-Bought Pizza
Have you ever taken home store-bought pizza like DiGiorno and had a revelation that maybe, just maybe what you're eating is not actual pizza? Of course you have. Everyone has, which is why we can all relate to 'Saturday Night Live's' "Almost" Pizza commercial.
So what is actually in "Almost" Pizza? From the looks of it, probably the same stuff that's in that 'Harry Potter' Monster Book of Monsters. Instead of feeling a sense of the utmost shock when the slice shatters on the floor like glass only to rebuild itself and crawl around growling, we're more like, "Yeah, that's totally happened to us."
And yet, we can't help but go back for more. It's the same reasoning behind fast food. Despite all that "pink slime," we still have those midnight cravings for Big Macs.

The Affordable Care Act: The name alone is enough to make the eyes of clinicians and patients alike glaze over. Yet the impact of the ACA (colloquially called Obamacare) has the potential to be massive when it comes to access to clinical care for HIV-infected people in the U.S. And with more ACA-related changes on the near horizon, the importance of staying informed has never been greater, particularly for health care providers who work in settings supported by Ryan White CARE Act funding.
To discuss the real-world effects of the ACA and offer guidance to HIV health care professionals, we spoke by phone with two leading experts: Michael Saag, M.D., a professor of medicine and the director of the Center for AIDS Research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, as well as a former chair of the HIV Medicine Association; and Michael Wong, M.D., an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and the board chairman of HealthHIV, an education and advocacy organization for frontline care providers.
Inside This Discussion
HIV and the ACA: Primers
The following Web pages and documents make excellent starting points for learning more about the intersection of HIV care and the Affordable Care Act.
Myles Helfand: Let's dive right in with a question that is probably unfairly binary, because this does not seem like the kind of issue that is easy to parse in yes-or-no terms. But from each of your perspectives -- and let's start with you, Dr. Saag -- is the Affordable Care Act ultimately a good thing for HIV patient care?
Michael Saag: I think, overall, it's a good thing. Number one, it will put, generally speaking, more people into insurance plans, be it Medicaid or some other kind of plan. And it creates more options. In essence, there's more money flowing to clinics and flowing to cover the costs of medications, so it will give some relief to the Ryan White CARE Plan -- and we'll get back to that, I'm sure, later. But the bottom line is, it's a good thing.
Myles Helfand: Dr. Wong?
Michael Wong: I have to agree with Dr. Saag completely. I think with some of the other experiments that other cities and states have been able to do to date, it's proven to be a really positive approach. I think the devil will be in the details of the transition from our current state of affairs into a full implementation of the Affordable Care Act across the country, though.
Myles Helfand: Looking back over the past few years since the ACA was first approved, and the changes that have been implemented in that time, can either of you discuss how the ACA has already altered HIV care?
Michael Saag: You may want to take that, Michael, because you're in Boston and you guys have been experiencing something similar to it for quite a while now.
Michael Wong: For us in Massachusetts, it's not so much ACA; the state has been ahead of the health care reform game. We've had almost-complete, universal health care coverage -- either a combination of state-federal insurance or private insurance -- for over six years. And that portion of the coverage has been helpful.
But taking a step back a little bit: Even before this started, I think there were some fortunate decisions that were made, both legislatively and through our department of public health. Prior to our foray into health care reform and health care payment reform, certain conditions were recognized as being high-cost, high-profile conditions. And existing payment schemes, including safety net programs, weren't going to be quite sufficient to cover the population that was projected to exist. So, some of the things that Massachusetts did early on was to recognize HIV as a chronic condition and put it into the state Medicaid program so that it became covered under state Medicaid. This was probably a good seven or eight years before health care reform was even discussed in the state.
By doing that, the state opened the opportunity -- as Dr. Saag was referring to -- for patients, particularly those who were economically or medically disenfranchised, to actually have coverage, and have the opportunity to enter into care.
At the same time, the state started investing fully into the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. Actually, rather than calling it an ADAP, because of the inclusion of HIV into the state Medicaid program, they actually called it HDAP: the HIV Drug Assistance Program. It very quickly evolved to the point where they used that money, and leveraged that money, to help pay for insurance premiums and insurance copays. So, rather than just drugs, it actually managed the access-to-care portion, and had the medications paid for out of the plans that the patients enrolled in. By doing this, it really amplified the ability for that money to go far.
Then we moved into our equivalent of the Affordable Care Act: payment reform. And in doing this, it's been really impressive, in terms of how we've been able to keep patients in care -- actually reach out farther, engage patients and get them into care.
So I think, in the states that have been able to roll out their insurance programs, and critically looked at their payment coverage schemes and created programs that allow their insurances to be very portable -- but also looked at what they really want to include, in terms of important medical conditions with associated programs that need to be covered, and thoughtfully defined their essential health benefits -- those states are going to be moving ahead very nicely, and probably encounter relatively little pain in the process.
I think the smaller states, or those that have not been able to tackle this in any real, big-picture vision, are going to be the ones that are going to have some problems trying to implement. [Our next steps need to focus on] really trying to help bring those states along in a way that allows them to have more reasonable care across the board for their HIV-infected population, and their marginalized self-care population as a whole.
Michael Saag: If I were in charge, I would model a system after Massachusetts' experience. Oh, wait; that's what the Affordable Care Act is.
Massachusetts has been a great standard-bearer model for the actual basis of the Affordable Care Act. The success that's been there has been continued. If we can somehow depoliticize the whole implementation of the Affordable Care Act, I think everybody would be better off. That probably will never happen.
But even as recently as this week, more and more states are waking up to the benefits of having the federal government help underwrite the costs of adding these additional people onto the Medicaid rolls. That delta -- that difference between what they're currently paying for through their state coffers (in our case, it's about 20% of the federal poverty level) -- if we could get an additional 80% of people into the system, why is that a bad thing, especially with the federal government paying for it? If we can wake up and depoliticize this a little bit, we could go a long way to helping people who really need the help.
Myles Helfand: And you're saying this in the context of your practice in Alabama, where I believe the last word was that the governor did not want to expand Medicaid with the Affordable Care Act because the money wasn't there.
Michael Saag: Yeah. That was one reason. Later, this shifted to: "We didn't have the right infrastructure within Medicaid." And actually, that's a true statement. So, at the last legislature session here -- not to get too much into the weeds in Alabama, but I think it does speak to a lot of other states -- Medicaid was revamped structurally. Now, I think it is in a position, or will be in a position, to participate in the ACA. Hopefully, other states will act and, ultimately, come around.
If we think back to the implementation of Medicare in the '60s, there was probably equal resistance to implementation in several states. Ultimately, folks came around, because they saw the benefit of it and stripped away the politics more and more. Hopefully, that will happen here.
Michael Wong: I'm sitting here, silently nodding my head up and down.
Michael Saag: [Laughs.] I saw that.
Myles Helfand: Dr. Saag, have you seen, in the interim, an impact on HIV care in your area? Have you seen more people getting into care? Have you seen the quality of care improve?
Michael Saag: I can't say that I have, yet, because it's been kind of slow. The types of things that have been implemented so far are very incremental, such as increasing the coverage of people's children to age 26.
Frankly, our basic health care to HIV patients in the state of Alabama is mostly carried by the Ryan White CARE Act. There are several Part C clinics very nicely distributed across the state. We get some support from our Part B money -- that is, beyond ADAP -- to help support these clinics. There are also a few community health centers that are participating, but it's mostly the Ryan White CARE clinics. So there hasn't been a lot of change yet. Over the next two to three years, there will be some changes, and I think that will play out.
One other thing I forgot to mention: All of the patients who are seen as outpatients in the Ryan White CARE clinics, that's working OK. But when those patients need hospitalization, the Ryan White CARE Act does not cover that. And that's where Medicaid coverage will help enormously.
One of the leverage points to the states is this notion that it's expected that the states will implement the Medicaid expansion -- and, therefore, that disproportionate share payment to certain hospitals for taking care of a large number of indigents will be ratcheted down. That's part of the way that the Affordable Care Act pays for itself. For places like Birmingham -- and I'm sure there are several other hospitals around the country, especially in the Southeast, who are really dependent on disproportionate share funding to their hospitals -- that will start going away. It's been delayed because the implementation has been a little slower. But ultimately, that's the leverage point.
I can promise you that the state of Alabama cannot afford, for example, UAB Hospital to go out of business. And I'm not saying they for-sure would do so without disproportionate share, but we take care of a lot of indigent patients. The biggest difference, I think, that the Affordable Care Act brings to the table for HIV -- and for all types of care to indigent patients -- is hospitalization coverage.
Michael Wong: I couldnt agree with Dr. Saag more on that, too. As the Chapter 224 Payment Reform bill went through a couple of years ago, some of our safety net hospitals had real concerns that they were going to go bankrupt. Some of these are big institutions that are well-known across the country.
Fortunately, with reform -- and, as he had mentioned, the indigent care population that previously were what we refer to in this state as "free care" -- they got either into the state or the federal government's insurance programs, or actually managed to get into some of these private/public partnership insurance programs. It offset a lot of the "free care" dollars; those actually ended up getting freed up. The payments to the hospitals continued. And they haven't closed.

After a three-year hiatus from coaching, Shea succeeds the man who replaced him
Greg Sullivan
Herald News Staff Reporter
FALL RIVER – His batteries recharged and with the required thumbs-up from his wife, Bill Shea is back as head boys' basketball coach at Bishop Connolly High School.
The Connolly graduate replaces the man, Matt Coute, who replaced him three years ago. Coute this past spring left Connolly to take the head job at King Philip High School.
Under Coute, the Cougars won the state Division 4 championship in 2013 and went to the state semifinals last winter. They also qualified for the playoffs in 2012.
Shea had coached the previous 27 years at Connolly, the last 21 of those as varsity coach.
Shea, 53, said he had no comeback notions until Coute, Connolly's career scoring leader and one of Shea's former players, left for King Philip.
"First I got my permission slip from my wife to think about it," Shea said. "I guess three years off kind of re-energized me. It took about a week or so before I decided to throw my hat in the ring."
Shea said he is very familiar with Connolly's personnel. Over the last three years, he watched many games and some practices and actually helped Coute out in practice a few times.
While Connolly just graduated a very strong senior class of basketball players who enjoyed successive trips to the TD Garden, Shea has a rock-solid foundation in all stars Konrad Bradbury, a 6-foot-6 center, and 6-1 sharpshooting guard Dylan Bradbury, the team's leading scorer last winter. Shea termed the duo two of the best players in Division 4.
"And a lot of these kids came to my (basketball) camp. I'm certainly familiar with their game. They'll just have to get used to me," he said.
They may find Shea the high school coach and bit different from Shea the camp coach. Laid back was a term rarely used to describe Shea during his previous tenure at Connolly.
"But my wife told me to remember I'm 53, not 33," he said. "Maybe it'll be a kinder, gentler version."

If it were't for the fact that the first novel is in chronological order, I'd have said that the weird order was to recreate the sort of WHAM! episode feel of the novels. Except the Novels don't have a WHAM! episode feel to them... : /

achronological order was fun the first time around, just 'cause it seemed completely random and you had no idea what was going on. Trying to guess what was up was fairly engaging.
But as I've said before, that effect only lasts as long as the first watch through, and in terms of character development, the chronological order is much more satisfying. So although I won't say that the achronological order is a bad thing, I will say that the chronological order is the only proper way to watch the series (assuming you're willing to give it more than one run through).

the first time i saw it i saw it in aired order. when i rewatched it i did the chronological order.
i found the aired order to be better because that way the best episodes are generally at the end of the show, while the chronological order has boring episodes toward the end.

I guess it'll be best to watch it twice:
the first time is to get the impression, so you must watch it according to the TV series which gives more impressions in the last episode.
The second time is to know the storyline, so you must watch it chronologically.
By doing this, we can get both the impression and the storyline completely

I watched it all as aired minus episode 0. I kinda like how they did it, as I didn't need to rewatch it to get the plot. Then again, I'm the kinda guy who is able to remember plotlines well... so maybe it was just me.

If you haven't seen the show yet, I'd definitely reccomend watching it in chronological order. But if you have and you're watching it again for the English or Japanese dub (depending upon which dub you watched the first time) I'd recommend watching it in the order aired on TV.

Ahhh, the great debate. "How does one watch this series?" someone might ask, and thus I would have close to no answer. I started out watching it in broadcast, but then inadvertently switched to chronological after Ep.4 (broadcast). So to say the least, my opinion is a bit skewed.
Anyway, looking back on it, I wish I would have just stuck with broadcast order the first time around. Even if it's a gimmick, it's clever, and interesting for a first view. And I have to agree that it just spreads out the story better, seeing as how in chronological order the main story finishes early on with the first six episodes.
I'm thinking about testing this anime on an audience of people who have never seen it before, to see their reactions. But anyway, the order isn't that big of a deal. Just sit down, watch it, and enjoy!

I've had several comments on the different episode orders from people who watch it for the first time (on DVD). It's mainly from recommending the anime on a non-anime forum.
Interestingly, there's about an equal proportion of those who watched it in chronological order and those who chose broadcast order. There's also a roughly equal portion from both sides who wished that they watched it the other way.
The reasons have been brought up before: chronological order feels like lots of plot followed by lots of filler, while broadcast order is too confusing to keep track of.
I suspect, without proof, that if one watches the series all in one go, or at least plenty of episodes at once, then it's best to watch it in broadcast order: the plot points will remain fresh in one's mind, the way we kept talking about it when the series was first being aired and fansubbed. If one watches it a bit at a time, maybe one episode every week or more, though, then chronological order might be much better.
This is anecdotal evidence only, though. Please don't take it as absolute statistics.

I have seen it in both orders, but could someone please enlighten me as to which order is the proper one? I am an extreme Haruhi fan but I just did not know which way the episodes should have been officially shown.
Am I right in assuming that the 'proper' final episode is the one in which Haruhi and Kyon are trapped in an enclosed space in school and he then kisses her to get out? Because that was the order in which I first viewed them in and liked. Although I will say that I did like the other order too as the ending seemed a little bit peaceful and relaxing for a final session. Nontheless, what I am assuming is the correct order made more sense.

Yes, I looked it up just after I posted that actually. I apologize. ^_^
Their is a "Broadcast Order", a "Chronological Order", and a "DVD Order".
I have seen it in the chronological order and the DVD order, which is obvious as I have the DVD set of the series. I must say that I quite liked the DVD order as they made the "Someday in the Rain" episode last, which made a calm and quite nice impact on how the series ended as not a lot went on in that episode. Still a great session though. Just my opinion.

I watched it in chronological order. I don't regret it, because I hate not knowing things. Can't stand it. It would've got in the way of my enjoyment, and so I have a feeling I would've not liked the show in broadcast order. But that's just me.

I say random order for rewatching, as aired on TV for first time. The confusion and the fact that it's not chronological adds to the anime which gives excitment and a feeling of a "what just happened????" then you go on to see and say "ohhhhhh." Though, as long as episode 14 is last, watching them randomly is even more exicting and makes even less sense, just make sure you didn't JUST finish the anime or else it'll be relatively boring.

Hi there. :)
I am Becky from a little blogging corner called Creatively Content
I am totally smiling from ear to ear to get to be here at Sun Scholars. I am an American living in Turkey and have adopted a theme 'use what you have, living where you're at'. Cardboard boxes, tp tubes are some of the favorite craft supplies in our house. Living here in Turkey has put my life in perspective and I am very glad at times for not having everything at my finger tips. It is good to live simply and 'use what I have'. I love color, originality and being real. I have 3 crazy and fun kids, 2 girls and a boy.
My two older girls attend the Turkish schools here during the school year. So Summer time is our time to work on English, unless of course we want our children reading & writing like Tarzan, summer school is a must. (No offense Tarzan!) I am always trying to find ways that work for each of my girls learning styles.
One of my girls is very visual and the other kinestatic (shes a mover). So I went to work at creating a puzzle that could help them learn. The Turkish language is very phonetical and so my oldest daughter struggles with spelling in English... especially our last name. :) Schneider.
Thus the last name puzzle was born!
How I made our Homemade 'last name' puzzle:
I prepared the letters on construction paper and used a large piece of card stock to start off the process. Also Mod Podge is not available here (someone gave this to me, lucky me!!) Before Mod Podge arrived at my house I would make homemade Mod Podge: using white glue and water to water it down a bit.
I glued each letter to the construction paper
I had cut and prepared.
|After cutting the card stock to a size I liked, it was time for some mod podging .I applied the first coat and let it dry and then applied the second coat.
Again I cut the card stock to size.
I free handed the puzzle pieces on the back.
I started with large pieces and then drew a line down the middle to create smaller pieces.
One mistake I made on this first puzzle - not all the pieces were nobs!
(the green arrow above points to what I mean by a "nob")
As I do it again I will do it all this way.
I cut the pieces with an X-acto knife into the random pieces on my cutting mat.
Tada, Tadum delightful puzzle pieces.
I could stop here. However I wanted a frame for the puzzle.
Follow on down to view the
2nd part of this tutorial.
Homemade puzzle Frame:
*For the frame I used a piece of sturdy cardboard that
I have from one of the cardboard boxes I am
hording collecting.
*I measured the size of my 'lastname' puzzle and marked accordingly on my cardboard frame to be.
I then used my X-Acto knife and cut out the center.
*I glue gunned a piece of card stock for the backing.
I did try my puzzle pieces several times to assure
they would fit properly and without bulging.
Something I added at the last minute was to add some color
to the inside of the frame (the backing) where the pieces fit.
I color coded them.
You will see the example of this if you scroll down to the finished product.
The above and following pictures are the fun part;
making it visually fun.
I am a dot lover.
After I decorated it,
I then put modge podge on it one more time for a shine.
Here is the end result.
Pure visual, manipulative learning fun.
Ok ~ so you can tell it's the one that looks homemade among our puzzle stash. However, I am willing to bet this one wins out on the amount of love given when being made. ;) Plus I think homemade is super cool.
*I am also in the process of creating a few more puzzles to fit into this same diy frame:
phone number, address etc.
Thanks for allowing me to share a bit of our cultural life and learning with you all.
Much care from our little corner of Turkey.
Rachel I look forward to seeing all the fun creative things you come up with living in China.
I will be anticipating your posts.

In the wake of the News of the World's depraved phone-hacking of dead soldiers' relatives, I thought it would be a good time to revisit what its daily sister paper considered such a grievous insult to our war dead it led a manipulative and nasty campaign against then Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Misspelling a dead soldiers name, poor handwriting, and worst of all, not dotting his Is:
COMMITTED four other spelling mistakes: Greatst for greatest, condolencs for condolences, you instead of your, and colleagus for colleagues.
He also wrote the letter "i" incorrectly 18 times – mostly by leaving the dots off them but once by using two in "security".
And he ended with a repetition – writing "my sincere condolences" and then signing off "Yours sincerely"
What an evil, evil man. How did he ever sleep at night?
The Sun proceeded to callously exploit the mother's grief for its own ends, to viciously attack Brown. Which is the hallmark of Rupert Murdoch's media outlets of course – exploitation, manipulation and hit jobs to try and obtain a certain political outcome.
News International: where spelling mistakes when writing an emotionally difficult letter to a dead soldier's mother is a hanging offence, but illegally invading and violating the privacy of relatives is A-OK.

HILLSBORO, Ore. -- Hillsboro police say a man shot and killed his 6-year-old son before turning the gun on himself in a field near a church.
Police Lt. Michael Rouches says a passerby found two people laying in a field behind the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 5500 block of Southeast Golden Road at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Arriving officers found the bodies of a 54-year-old man and 6-year-old boy, Rouches says.
Police say the man shot his son in the head with a handgun and then fatally shot himself. Two used shells were found nearby, they say.
The man's car was parked in the nearby lot, according to officers.
There is no connection between the shooting and the nearby church, officers say, and the motive remains unclear.
Police haven't released their identities, but a police spokesman says it's believed the man lived nearby with his sister.
Family members told officers there were no issues they were aware of.
Andy Frame says he called 911 after his girlfriend saw something strange.
"She heard a noise at about 11:30 and she didn't think anything of it. She heard it again, so she stood up ... looked out and saw the car and what she thought were two people, but she wasn't sure," Frame says. "It was shocking. It was just shocking. We're trying to think in our heads, 'Why did he do it? What's going on?'"
Other nearby residents are also grappling with the shooting.
"It's just sad," says neighbor Cynthia Anderson. "Why would anybody kill their son?"
Amy Northern lives next to the field and says she didn't hear or see anything unusual until investigators arrived.
"We saw the fire truck pull in. Then we saw someone put tarps on the body. Didn't realize that there were two of them," she says.
So sad. My dad and I used to ride around that parking lot and play in that field when I was a kid. The church is like literally within a mile of my parents house. It's really sad that a father would take the life of his son. A few years back a father drowned his kids and shot himself in a nearby wetlands as well. I can't imagine taking your own child's life.

Funny thing about Bob Howsam. When you're winning, he grinds you. When you're losing, he's easy on you. The way I have it figured, he doesn't want you to get carried away with your success.
- Sparky Anderson
When Bob Howsam was hired as vice president and general manager of the Reds by new owner Frank Dale in January of 1967, it marked the arrival of the man who would bring about the most glorious decade in Reds history, constructing one of the finest clubs to ever play, the man who history would laud as "The Architect of the Big Red Machine."
Born in Denver in 1918, Howsam had crafted a lengthy resume in sports that had included management of the Denver Bears Minor League club, ownership of the Denver Broncos American Football League franchise and as a key player in Branch Rickey's Continental League venture that played a key role in forcing expansion in Major League Baseball in the early 1960s. Hired by Rickey as general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals in August of 1964, Howsam presided over that club's late-season run to the National League pennant and World Series victory over the New York Yankees. He faced withering criticism for dismantling the talented but aging Cardinal club. He was vindicated when the re-tooled Cardinals won back-to-back pennants in 1967 and 1968, including a second World Series victory in 1967, but by the time these successes unfolded, Howsam was in Cincinnati embarking on a re-working of a talented but underachieving Reds club.
Under owner/general manager Bill DeWitt, the Reds had surprised the baseball world with an unexpected pennant in 1961 and had remained largely competitive in each of the ensuing five seasons but had fallen short in their quest for a return to the postseason. A corps of strong young talent was in place, including Pete Rose, Tony Perez and Tommy Helms and a solid Reds farm system was on the verge of producing even more home-grown stars. It was at the farm system that Howsam directed his focus. He understood the vital role that a successful Minor League system played in the ongoing success of the parent club and he immediately began augmenting the Reds' system by hiring more scouts and support staff. Possessed with a keen eye for young talent, Howsam also encouraged an infusion of young players onto the Major League roster. In 1967, rookie Gary Nolan shined in the Reds' starting rotation and slugger Lee May was The Sporting News Rookie Player of the Year in his inaugural season as the Reds' first baseman. And August of that year saw the debut of a highly-touted prospect by the name of Johnny Bench who would win the National League Rookie of the Year award the next season, the first of a host of honors he would accumulate during his Hall of Fame career.
As had been the case in 1967, the 1968 and 1969 campaigns found the Reds to be a good but not great club, operating on the fringes of contention each season. Howsam believed that a change was needed and fired popular manager Dave Bristol, replacing him with 35-year-old Sparky Anderson. Anderson had an extensive history of success managing at the Minor League level but had never been a Major League pilot. The hiring came as a complete surprise to Reds fans, most of whom had never heard of Anderson and even prompted a Cincinnati newspaper to declare "Sparky Who?" in its headline the day after the move was announced. Of course Howsam knew Anderson well, having hired him as a Minor League manager with the Cardinals in 1965 and installing him as a Minor League manager in the Reds' organization in 1968. He saw something special in the fiery Anderson and believed that he was just the man to take the talented Reds to the next level.
After a 70-30 start to the 1970 season, no one was questioning Howsam about his decision and everyone knew the answer to the question of "Sparky Who?" The 1970 season is when the first incarnation of the Big Red Machine came into its own. The club's move to the new, state-of -the-art Riverfront Stadium in midseason and playing host to the city's first All-Star Game since 1953 were highlights overshadowed by the Reds' dominance of the National League. The club won 102 games (only the second time in franchise history the 100-victory mark had been reached) and claimed its first-ever division title by a 14.5 game margin. After sweeping the Pirates in the National League Championship Series, the Reds' run of success ended with a resounding defeat at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series.
The disappointing end to the 1970 season served as a harbinger of even greater frustration in 1971 as the Reds slumped to a 79-83 record (the only sub-.500 record of the decade). The Reds had been built for success in the cozy confines of Crosley Field and, over the course of an entire season, were not well-positioned to take full advantage of the more spacious dimensions at Riverfront and a general lack of team speed compromised the club's ability to use Riverfront's Astro-Turf surface to full advantage. Howsam knew that changes were necessary, a knowledge that would lead him to orchestrate the most significant trade in franchise history.
On November 29, 1971, at the winter meetings in Phoenix, AZ, the Reds announced that they had consummated a trade. Moving from Cincinnati to the Houston Astros were first baseman Lee May, second baseman Tommy Helms and utility player Jimmy Stewart. In exchange, the Reds would receive second baseman Joe Morgan, pitcher Jack Billingham, outfielders Ed Armbrister and Cesar Geronimo and infielder Denis Menke. The assembled media were stunned. The Reds, one year removed from winning a pennant, had just traded the All-Star half of their starting infield for a second baseman who, despite possessing All-Star credentials of his own, also had a reputation for being a problem in the clubhouse. The rest of the players coming to Cincinnati were little known outside of baseball circles and inside these circles were seen as being of little note. Fan reaction was immediate and altogether negative, and the press did little to quell the fans' ire. Opined Bob Hertzel in The Cincinnati Enquirer, "If the United States had traded Dwight Eisenhower to the Germans in World War II, it wouldn't have been much different than sending May and Helms to Houston." Of course, as was so often the case, Howsam knew better as did his manager who declared to him after the trade was completed, "You have just won the pennant for the Cincinnati Reds."
As history would soon demonstrate, the trade for Joe Morgan was a singular triumph of the organization Howsam had methodically constructed since his arrival. Because of not just the quantity but the caliber of the Howsam scouting department, the Reds knew that the rumors of Morgan being a problem player were completely unfounded. They also knew that he was a player whose skill set was ideally suited to the lineup of players that would surround him in Cincinnati and that his talents had barely been tapped by a Houston management team that did not see in Morgan what was so obvious to the Reds. Finally, Howsam knew from the exhaustive reports compiled by his talent evaluators that the other players acquired in the deal were special as well, with Billingham immediately upgrading the Reds' starting rotation and Geronimo being ideally suited to patrol the centerfield turf at Riverfront Stadium.
The 1972 edition of the Reds repeated the successes of the 1970 club, as the team returned to the World Series on the strength of a 95-win regular season, the victory total representing the smallest number of wins the Reds would record over the ensuing four seasons. Postseason success eluded the Reds again in 1972 as the Reds lost the World Series in seven games to the Oakland A's. The Reds' championship aspirations were frustrated again in 1973 as the club was upset by the New York Mets in the League Championship Series. A slow start in 1974 doomed the Reds to a second-place finish behind the Dodgers in the division race despite compiling 98 victories on the year.
By 1975, an air of "now or never" had descended on the Reds. They were clearly one of the best teams in the game, but many began to wonder if they would ever be able to claim baseball's ultimate prize. Off to another scuffling start, manager Sparky Anderson made the bold move of shifting All-Star leftfielder Pete Rose to third base to create more playing time for George Foster. Howsam had not been consulted about the move and though skeptical of the wisdom behind it, opted to support Anderson's judgement. The decision proved to be an inspiration as it gave rise to the Big Red Machine's fabled "Great 8" starting lineup of catcher Johnny Bench, first baseman Tony Perez, second baseman Joe Morgan, third baseman Rose, shortstop Dave Concepcion (who had been signed by Howsam's scouting department as an amateur free agent in September of 1967), rightfielder Ken Griffey, Sr. (a 1969 Reds draft choice), centerfielder Geronimo and leftfielder George Foster (whom Howsam had acquired in a trade with the Giants in May of 1971).
With the Great 8 in place, postseason success quickly followed as the Reds won the 1975 World Series and defended their championship in 1976. The back-to-back World Championships cemented the Reds' position as not only the finest team in all of baseball but the finest organization as well. Even before the Reds' World Series victories, Howsam had succeeded in building an organization that was the envy of all of baseball. His reputation for honesty and fairness pervaded all facets of the organization and his attentiveness to the fan experience was unrivaled in the game. The Reds had broken the 2 million mark in home attendance for the first time in franchise history in 1973 and did not fall below that mark for the next seven years, finishing first or second in the league in attendance five times during that span.
The 1976 World Championship would be the high point of the Big Red Machine era. After that season, Howsam, identifying a need to bolster the Reds' pitching staff following the free agent defection of Don Gullett and believing that a ready (and younger) replacement was on-hand in the person of Dan Driessen, traded Tony Perez to the Montreal Expos for pitchers Woodie Fryman and Dave McNally. In later years, Howsam would not hesitate to identify the Perez trade as the biggest mistake of his career. In a rare instance of not fully appreciating his personnel, Howsam did not fully grasp Perez's importance to the club, a value that far surpassed mere statistics. The Reds not only failed to repeat in 1977 but failed to even qualify for postseason play. Even the acquisition of Tom Seaver from the Mets that June could not save the Reds' season.
For some time Howsam had grown ever-more disillusioned with the game's direction. Long a vocal opponent of free agency, Howsam steadfastly refused to acquire or retain players through it despite the long-term competitive implications the decision might have on his club. Howsam ardently believed that the way to build baseball teams was through player development and trades. This new world of players farming out their talents to the highest bidder was not one in which he wanted to operate. And so it was that Howsam resigned his position in April of 1978 and was replaced by his longtime assistant, Dick Wagner.
The Wagner Years were generally dark ones for the club, particularly when contrasted against the bright light of the Big Red Machine when it was firing on all cylinders. The nadir was the 1982 season during which the Reds lost 100 games in a season for the first time in franchise history. The club continued to struggle the next season, prompting Reds ownership to entice Howsam out of retirement in July of that year to try and right the ship. Over the next year and a half, Howsam followed his familiar blueprint of emphasizing player development and scouting while also working hard to reenergize a fan base that had been alienated by both the 1981 players' strike and the Reds' on-field struggles. The most significant move of his second tenure with the Reds was undoubtedly the re-acquisition of Pete Rose in August of 1984 to serve as the Reds' manager/player. The Reds would return to competitiveness under Rose, finishing in second place in their division each of the next four seasons. Howsam retired on July 1, 1985, having played a crucial role in putting the Reds back on the path of success.
The legacy of the Big Red Machine and the place that club holds in the pantheon of the great clubs in baseball history is a fitting testimony to Bob Howsam's genius as a baseball executive. Unfairly but inevitably, it is a legacy that has served as the standard against which every man who has occupied Howsam's seat since his departure has been and will continue to be measured.

The chart above shows the Premier Leaguers with the highest ratios of goals to shots on goal this season among those who've both scored and averaged two tries per league game. It seems like the sort of thing you could write quite a lot about, but then the more you think about it, the less clear it is just how much of a virtue goal scoring efficiency is in a game that really isn't some neoliberal exercise in which superfluity and failure come in for consideration as inherently morally suspect. Congratulations to Spurs' Andros Townsend for having heroically hit the back of the net once in 29 tries, and to Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey for having been so comparatively precise without playing as some sort of mechanical contraption designed to prove a point about ideology.
Lots of games on this weekend to Kinja on about below.

Students who are only ever exposed to evolutionary theory may assume that it is correct and might not even know how to question it.
Theistic evolution is a significant threat to the Christian church. It undermines the very foundation of the Christian faith and causes people to doubt the truth of Scripture.
A new report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that the common value of >98% similarity of DNA between chimp and humans is incorrect.
A study is being conducted to define and measure a creationist worldview while determining factors that influence the beliefs and attitudes about origins in a Christian college student population.
This paper examines the influence of a YEC apologetics course on creation and evolution worldview attitudes of Liberty University students.
There is no doubt that the evolutionary paradigm is dominant at virtually every college/university in the United States.
Through 1979, about 8,000 people in Virginia were prevented from being able to have children because they were considered to be 'unfit.'
The issue of cloning and stem-cell research is again at the forefront of international debate.
In the mid 1800s, when Charles Darwin was proposing his theory of evolution, two other scientists were disproving a commonly held notion.
As a scientist involved in the study of Alzheimer's disease, I have followed with interest the debate on the use of embryonic stem cells.
From the hype of the press release, it would seem that evolution was finally proven once and for all and the creationists should just give up and go home.

The Business Council of New York State Inc. and the New York League of Conservation Voters have come together to endorse Mark Grisanti in the 60th New York State Senate District.
"Mark Grisanti knows that New York doesn't have to choose between a healthy environment and a strong economy," said New York League of Conservation Voters President Marcia Bystryn. "In his first term in Albany, Senator Grisanti amassed an impressive list of accomplishments in both areas. We look forward to even more progress toward a greener, stronger New York with Mark Grisanti in the State Senate."
"Senator Mark Grisanti is a strong supporter of pro-growth initiatives that will create jobs in New York. He understands that we can lower taxes and lower the cost of doing business in this state and still be vigilant in the way we manage our natural resources and conservation efforts," said Heather Briccetti, president and CEO of The Business Council of New York State Inc.
Grisanti played a key role in passing the Commercial Solar Tax Exemption bill. This legislation exempts the sale and installation of commercial solar energy systems equipment from sales and compensating use taxes and grants municipalities the option to grant such exemption from local sales and use taxes.
Grisanti is also a strong supporter of the Environmental Protection Fund, a dedicated, self-funding program that protects drinking water, parks and family farms. The EPF has economic benefits for Western New York. Since 1993, the EPF has put more than $62 million to work in Erie County, including $34 million to protect Erie County's land, water and family farms, $5.5 million to create jobs and increase efficiency at local businesses, and $4.5 million toward waterfront revitalization.

On Aug. 7, 1912, Austrian physicist Victor Hess took a ride in a hydrogen-filled balloon to an elevation above 17,000 feet over Germany, where he discovered, for the first time, the presence of galactic cosmic rays.
The instruments he brought with him -- three brass-enclosed electroscopes -- showed that there were far more charged particles higher in the atmosphere than lower, meaning that the radiation was coming from space, not from Earth.
Exactly 100 years later, the Boulder-born Radiation Assessment Detector -- which is riding on board the Curiosity rover on Mars -- successfully took the first measurements of galactic cosmic rays, as well as solar energetic particles, from the surface of another planet, said Don Hassler, a researcher at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder and the principal investigator on the RAD instrument.
"We've learned a lot in the last 100 years since the measurements of Victor Hess," Hassler said Wednesday at a NASA briefing on the Curiosity mission. "We know that there are two types of radiation in space. Galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles are driven in large part by the sun."
RAD is designed to collect radiation data that will help scientists better understand how to protect humans from damaging space radiation if they were to travel to Mars in the future.
The instrument has been turned on twice -- first for three and a half hours and then, again, for a five-hour session -- since Curiosity landed on Mars just a few days ago.
"Everything is looking good," Hassler said in an email. "RAD is healthy and working like a champ."
By next week, RAD is expected to be working on its regular schedule, Hassler said, which includes downloading radiation data back to Earth on a daily basis.
Hassler shared a snapshot graph of the raw data so far collected by the instrument at the media briefing. Spikes in the plots indicated where heavy ions had hit the detector, Hassler explained. These heavy ions are one of the things that most interest scientists when they are trying to determine how the health of future Martians might be affected by the incoming radiation.
"What we will achieve with RAD over the next days and months and years will be to characterize and accumulate the statistics and also to gather the energy spectra for each of these heavy ion events," he said.
The Curiosity science team also shared new images taken Wednesday from the newly deployed mast -- which looks like the rover's head and neck. Cameras on the mast have already taken images from every direction, which will be fitted together into a 360-degree panoramic view.
On Wednesday, scientists presented two images that had been merged to show the rim of the Gale Crater, where the rover landed, looking to the north.
"The thing that really struck the science team about the image is you could really be forgiven for thinking NASA pulled a fast one on you and we really put a rover out in the Mojave Desert," said John Grotzinger, project manager of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission. "The first impression you get is how Earth-like it seems."
Grotzinger also pointed out alluvial fans in the image, which were presumably created in the past when water worked to erode the mountains along the edge of the crater.
"It's really kind of fantastic to look out across there and see something that has really attracted people to certain parts of Mars for years, wondering, 'What would it look like if you landed on an alluvial fan crated by water?'" Grotzinger said.

Car stereo isn't just a component that you could easily fit in the vehicle. There is also a couple of attachments using the vehicle stereos. For example using the head unit you'll find different types of tweeters, amplifiers, subwoofers, along with other audio attachments to boost the seem quality of the system. You'll find high quality stereo in addition to cheap stereos. As the saying goes, you simply get that which you really purchase, so quality has a cost. Make certain you don't pay an exorbitant amount too in the a branded audio system. Also look for the sturdiness from the audio system, as installing a great system won't suit you perfectly if it doesn't work correctly.
3F displays Car Video from a variety of choice: Roof Mount Car Video, Seat Car Video, On Dash Car Video, Mirror Car Video, Car DVR, GPS Navigation. While 4F is really a column for you personally who find Car Audio. They sells 1 Din Car Stereo, FM Transmitter, Car IR Headphones, Vehicle Amplifier, Vehicle Loudspeakers.
Of car audio updates, this is often likely probably the most economical. Jacks are usually existing in nearly all car stereo systems-there's accessible, but generally, they are not used to their finest possible. Some vehicle proprietors disregard the truth these jacks may be used to produce audio or appear by utilizing outdoors sources just like a Personal stereo, an digital audio player, an I-pod, etc.Reply With Quote 18.104.22.168

This article, entitled "How to Deal with Conflict at School," comes from Annie Payne, MomsEveryday blogger from Western Colorado.
Conflicts at school are nearly inevitable. Not every day is going to be your child's best day ever. So here are a few tips to dealing with conflicts at school.
My first tip is not to be too hasty when it comes to solving your child's problem, if it doesn't have to do with their personal safety, sometimes it's just best to give it a day or two and see if things just level out on their own. Kids sometimes have a tendency to be too dramatic, what may be a big deal one day, might be forgotten about the next.
Second, if it is a conflict with the teacher, go directly to the source. Our school district has a website that allows parents to e-mail teachers directly, which makes it easy to stay in constant contact. Set up a time to talk to them directly. Teachers appreciate parents who work together with them and communicate with them, instead of letting concerns fester.
Next, remember that you are your child's advocate. Tell them you are happy they came to you with their problems. Try to listen more and talk less when they tell you what is bothering them. Show them you were listening by summarizing what they said and validate their feelings and frustrations by saying something like, "I can see how that would bother you" but don't continue to stoke the fire of their frustration, by saying things like "That kid was totally wrong" or "I can't believe your teacher did that." Model good conflict resolution by waiting to hear both sides of the story.
It's easy to let the Mama Bear syndrome take over when we feel like our kids have been slighted, but helping them deal with problems in the proper way will serve them better throughout their life than just getting angry and lashing out at others without thinking and talking it through.
Now, it's your turn. How have you helped your child deal with conflicts at school? What have been your challenges and have you worked them out?

People packed Germantown Avenue for the 16th annual Home and Garden Festival. The normally traffic-congested avenue was transformed into an outdoor market filled with an array of plants and stunning wares. This year's festival featured 170 vendors and about 90 local businesses, and community and nonprofit organizations.
According to the Chestnut Hill Business Association, nearly 15,000 people attended. Participants from as far away as Ivyland in Bucks County and Audubon, N.J., came to enjoy the festivities.
There was "dancing in the street" as live music played on two stages. No matter what your age, the annual event had something for everyone. New to the festival this year was a motorcycle show sponsored by the Venetian Social Club.
"We were very happy with the turnout," said Peggy Miller, a spokeswoman for the Chestnut Hill Business Association. "We love seeing people of all ages come together for the festival. It's a fun event that brings the community together."
A favorite of this year's festival was Berg Toys' pedal go-karts.
"Everyone gets off the cart and has this big smile," said Kent Julye, a representative for Berg Toys.
"I call it the 'Berg smile whether it's adults, teenagers or kids who are riding on the go-kart. There seems to be a switch inside that people connect with."
"It seems like a nice toy for big kids," said Mukul Talaty, of Huntington Park. "My 4-year-old son got on it and had a blast. It could be a good Daddy-and-me activity."
One of those "big kids" was Gayle Davidson, who just recently moved back to Mt. Airy.
"The ride was great – I felt like a child all over again," Davidson said.
Back again this year was Eco Alley. Noreen Spota, a member of Green in Chestnut Hill (GRinCH), said Eco Alley consists of vendors "that are doing something good for the environment."
GRinCH, which promotes sustainable practices and raises awareness about environmental issues, has sponsored recycling events such as
"Weird Waste Day." Spota said this year GRinCH decided to host a "freecycle" event.
"For our first freecycle event, we wanted to make it simple," said Spota. "So, it was just books, CDs and DVDs.
Spota said there was "a huge response," adding that the group received "thousands of books."
"The place was mobbed," Spota said. "We will definitely do it, again."
A staple of the event is the Chestnut Hill Library's open-air book sale. Angela Archer, a member of Friends of the Chestnut Hill Library, said she likes to see people "still reading off books."
"It's a joy to see what people like to read," Archer said, noting that "books have a strong connection, especially for a child. Just to see a whole table full of books reminds me of when I used to climb into a corner with a book and get lost in it."
The festival also featured a wealth of activities for kids, including rock-wall climbing, face painting and arts and crafts. Kids could paint their own Adirondack chairs.
Jessica Jenkins, director of communications at the Woodmere Art Museum said the Adirondack Chair Public Art Exhibit, entitled "Take a Seat! Adirondack Chairs Reinterpreted," is the result of a collaboration between the Morris Arboretum and The Woodmere Art Museum. The exhibit opens May 31 at both sites.
The festival also provided a chance for children to learn. The Elmwood Park Zoo captivated youngsters with a red-tailed boa constrictor, Eastern box turtle and a giant African millipede. The zoo also was educating people about how the white-nose syndrome is decimating bats.
"It's an ecological crisis," said Cindy Geiger-Jenkins, a volunteer coordinator for the Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown.
Geiger-Jenkins said the fungus, which originated in Europe, causes bats to itch and wake up.
"Just waking up," she said, "uses half of their fat stored for the winter."
The festival also offered participants the chance to learn about horticulture. Kay Morrissey, vice-president of the Outdoor Gardeners Garden Club, said the Home and Garden festival is the club's biggest fundraiser of the year. All the funds raised by the nonprofit go back into the community in the form of educational projects and plantings.
Sylvia Meyers, a member of the club, shared her thoughts on the event.
"I think this is a great day for Chestnut Hill," Meyers said. "It brings people out and into the community. It's a great day, and the weather is holding up. We are sharing our knowledge with the community as garden club members, and our prices are good."
* Editor's note: An original version of this story was titled "Hundreds attend…," which was accurate, but only if you were counting your hundreds by 150. The actual attendance was estimated to be approximately 15,000. Hence the title change above.

Various causes of a rapid heartbeat can be shocked back to a normal rhythm using electrical current. This procedure is called electrical cardioversion . The underlying mechanism of cardioversion is based on the fact that these rhythms represent circular electrical currents that keep the heart muscle—or parts of it—twitching in an uncoordinated fashion. The electric shock stops the current from circling and allows the natural pacemaker (the sinoatrial node) to take charge. Often, medications are given beforehand to assist in the procedure and protect the person from the unpleasant effects of the shock.
Cardioversion can also be done with medications called anti-arrhythmics. These medications work by restoring normal sinus rhythm. Frequently, they must taken for a prolonged period of time. Common side effects include lightheadedness, fatigue, and nausea.
