In grown-up money, Matthew Lio's donation to cancer victim Paula Bean would translate to a chunk of a life's savings.
In grown-up money, Matthew Lio's donation to cancer victim Paula Bean would translate to a chunk of a life's savings.
To Bean, the little boy's gift from his big heart was a pricelessly overwhelming act of adult humanitarianism.
It caused her to weep through a night and into the next morning. Only just recently has she been able to discuss it without breaking down.
After hearing of Bean's plight, the 8-year-old plucked from his piggybank $40, funds he was saving for a Batman Lego set, then went about delivering it to her door.
It is not as if the Southmont Elementary third-grader is a frivolous spender. On the contrary, "he's very tight with his money," explains Matthew's dad, Raul. "He's been taught to save more than he spends. That's the golden rule at our house."
Matthew first heard about her condition and the family's subsequent medical expenses last month through classmate Seth Bean, who is Paula's son. At school, Seth passed around breast cancer awareness bracelets, and Matthew came home wearing one.
At the dinner table that night, Raul commented on his son's bracelet, and Matthew explained the circumstances.
"He looked very upset," Raul recalls. "He said he wanted to do something for her." Discussing how cancer had stricken others, such as his uncle and others outside the immediate family, Matthew even became a bit angry.
"He said he wanted to give her money, and I asked him if he was sure he wanted to do that, and he said he did," Raul said.
Keenly aware of parental bias toward their own, the elder Lio said he tries to step back and remain objective about his children. "But, I have to tell you, Matthew is a very warm-hearted, very generous and humble guy. He's just a great kid."
Not to go unnoticed was Gianna Lio, Matthew's 3-year-old sister, who took $10 from her savings to make the gift an even $50.
"But, I said, 'you can't just give her money, you need to get a card, too,'" Raul said.
After purchasing the card, Matthew proceeded to write a note. "We sat in the parking lot while he wrote on the card … the words crushed me. It was all I could do to keep it together," Raul said.
Arriving at Bean's home, also in the Southmont community, Raul said he sat in the car while Matthew and Gianna went to the door. "She (Bean) came to the door. I still don't know what took place in that conversation."
"I saw a car in my driveway that I did not recognize," Bean remembers. "The man proceeded to tell me his son had something he wanted to give me. I invited them up to the house, but the man said he wanted to hang back, that this was about his son.
"The little boy said, 'I have something to give you,' and handed me a card. I asked if I could open it now, and he said, 'yes.'"
Bean said Matthew stood and watched while she opened the card. It read: "May God's grace be with you today and bring you renewed health and brighter tomorrows. Get Well soon."
On the opposite side, Matthew had written: "Dear Paula, I hope you feel better. Get well soon. The money was out of my piggybank. I hope it helps. Matthew Lio."
Bean says she told Matthew she could not accept the money, but he insisted, "'No, you take it.' Then he went off to play with Seth," Bean described.
Bean said she asked Raul if there may be a way he could slip the money back into Matthew's piggybank without Matthew knowing. "He said, 'no.' He told me it would hurt Matthew's feelings if I didn't accept the money."
As they discussed the child's benevolence, they both wept.
"Needless to say I cried all evening and into the morning every time I shared this story," said Bean, a former volleyball coach at Central Davidson middle and high schools. "We hear all the time about the bad things that go on in the world, and I feel we need to hear about the goodness of a child. This child touched my life in a way I cannot describe, and all he knows me as is Seth Bean's mom."
Matthew reasoned succinctly, "I just wanted to help because my friend's family was just getting broke."
This, however, was not Matthew's first gesture of kindness. Recently, he worked alongside his father to refurbish a mobile home for a homeless family who was living in a tent. Matthew also took part in a fundraiser at school.
He is a two-time winner of Southmont Elementary's Laker Award, which honors a student for overall academics and character.
Aside from the mounting medical bills of the Bean family, the story has a happy ending.
Paula Bean, 45, and suffering from an aggressive form of breast cancer, this past February opted for a treatment known as Cryoablation, where a needle is inserted to freeze the tumor. The treatment was performed by a doctor in Gulf Shores, Ala.
"I have not been sick one day," she reports. "We drove down Thursday. I watched him perform the procedure. I was back at home Saturday morning, and 24 hours later I was back to normal."
The best news is the tumor is expected to be completely dissolved by year's end and her lymph nodes back to normal.
A fundraiser organized by her friends last month generated $11,668. The Beans, who have four children, however, had to hand over $17,000 once they arrived in Alabama for the treatment.
The Lios operate a real estate company. Matthew's mom, Amanda, is a full-time student pursuing a nursing degree at Davidson County Community College.
In addition to enjoying his Legos, Matthew says he likes school as well.
"I like science and social studies, recess and lunch," he said, before pausing to reflect. Then, his integrity won out.
"I like recess and lunch the best."

Just the name of a new Snowdown contest was enough to draw the curious to the White Dragon Tea Room on Friday afternoon for the first-ever Pee Pee Boys Pee Off.
A few were under the mistaken impression their sons would have to relieve themselves for sport.
When assured that it would be small ceramic figures that would be spouting water, a boy holding a pitcher of water then impatiently asked for the restroom.
He looked like he had been chugging all day, said Casey Nichols of the White Dragon, in the back of Theres No Place Like Home gift shop, 820 Main Ave.
One mother, Brandi Birch, said she was pretty sure you cant (pee in public), but was drawn to see what the contest was about.
Pee Pee Boys are small Chinese toys that absorb about 2 fluid ounces when submerged for 15 minutes or more. When boiling water is poured over the head of the Pee Pee Boy, it shoots water from an anatomically correct part of its body.
More than 40 people of all ages packed the tea room with 14 competing. Local sculptor Ron Andrews made a figure of a tea drinker for the contest.
White Dragon owner Michael Thunder poured the boiling water over the ceramic figures while wise guys in the crowd cracked jokes like This (Pee Pee Boy) has a prostate problem or This one is pee shy.
In the two competitive categories, Birchs son Brian Fitch, 11, took first place for distance with a 10-foot arc of water, landing inside Theres No Place Like Home, and Susan Champany of Farmington won for duration with a time of 22.9 seconds.
Susan and her husband, Rick Champany, came to Durango for a day of Snowdown activities.
Rick Champany had seen the Pee Pee Boy contest on the schedule and wondered what it was about, too.
I pushed (Susan) into competing, he said.
It was fun, Susan Champany said. This is something I will show my children.

Learning Numbers in Spanish HD
What is it about?
Early learning.
App Screenshots
App Store Description
Early learning.
Babyskool is the first line of entertainment applications for babies and infants for the iPad. It has been created to develop the learning capacity of children through slow, colorful and easy to assimilate images.
Learning Numbers in Spanish.
It provides for the stimulation of the logical and analytical thought process, which is responsible for organizing information and sending relevant stimuli from the brain. Thus, the child becomes familiar with numbers in order to develop the processing power they will need later on in school for calculation and analysis functions.
They will learn the meaning of everyday objects, observing groups of numbers, series of numbers, shapes, etc. All this is accompanied by a narration in order to recognize each of the numbers, and allowing them to learn how to count and even carry out simple operations such as "remove" or "put" which in the future will aid them in understanding things such as additions and subtractions.
This app contains more than 40 minutes of video and music especially composed for small children and babies. Recommended for children aged 0 to 5. Tested by specialists.
1. First Numbers
2. Colors
3. Fruits
4. From 1 to 10
5. Let's count
6. Shapes
7. From 11 to 20
8. Countdown
9. Toys
10. Quantities
It is the educational application that all parents want, since it entertains babies from the first months. Parents and educators agree that babies do not understand the mechanisms of a toy, as they tend simply to grab it and play around with it. However, video images keep them entertained through the projection of fun figures, shapes and colors they want to interact with. At the same time these images develop their intelligence via the visual impulses and stimuli they receive.
Supervised by teachers, psychologists and educators.
All video sequences have been performed under the supervision of a team of teachers, psychologists, educators and parents, picking up the latest developments to stimulate both emotional and creative thinking as rational and logical.
It is also an aid for parents because they will know what activities stimulate their child and which games grab their attention, thus allowing them to better communicate with their baby.
Educational content.
With Babyskool, children look at the screen amazed by the images they see, inviting them to play. They'll think they are not alone and that someone is playing with them.
The Babyskool collection will allow babies to become familiar with numbers, colors and the shapes of objects.
Parents will find it to be not only a way of entertaining their children but also to help them relax and sleep thanks to soothing music and images.
In addition to these entertaining and educational videos, this App has a wide array of fun interactive games that will test your child's memory, reflexes and comprehension skills.
This app supports the following menu languages: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish and Norwegian.
AppAdvice does not own this application and only provides images and links contained in the iTunes Search API, to help our users find the best apps to download. If you are the developer of this app and would like your information removed, please send a request to [email protected] and your information will be removed.

BAYOU CORNE, LA (WAFB) - Two teenagers are behind bars after burglaries were reported in the evacuation zone near the giant Louisiana sinkhole in Bayou Corne, LA.
Residents reported several items missing: jewelry, electronics, food and miscellaneous yard items.
A concerned citizen contacted the Sheriff's Office and stated that she had received property that she felt may have been stolen.
Deputies were able to track down several different residents and were able to verify that the items were in fact stolen. The investigation led to the residence of two teenagers who live in the same neighborhood.
A search warrant was executed at the residence and two arrests were made. Billy Gros, 18, was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center and a 14 year old juvenile was arrested and booked into Assumption Parish's new Youth Detention Center.
The burglaries remain under investigation and detectives are trying to determine if these individual are responsible for other crimes in the area.
It has been 10 months since hundreds living near the giant sinkhole were forced from their homes.
Bubbles were spotted in Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou in June 2012. Two months later, the ground opened up.
Most affected residents began receiving weekly checks from Texas-Brine in the amount of $875 per week.
Nine months after the sinkhole first appeared in Bayou Corne, Texas Brine began making offers to buy out the residents living there. Forty four of the 92 buyout offers were accepted by residents near the giant Louisiana sinkhole.

- Make a unique medal for Battle Royale victories
- Make it different from the standard "General Achievement medal you get for winning one.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
- Look at someone like KingofGods who has won like 10 BRs. Instead of getting a generic General Achievement medal, why not make winning a BR a super achievement? Or at least make it a unique medal?

Our winter session of homeschool co-op is just five weeks of classes, so I'm offering an animal classification class for ages 5-8. This is a really fun age group, very enthusiastic, and while it's called "animal" it's really vertebrate classification. We're learning about one class of vertebrates–mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians–each week.
I wanted something for the kids to write in and keep. (Some of the kids really like paperwork.) After hunting around on the Internets a little bit, I decided just to go ahead and make my own, which I'm now sharing with you, because, well, why not? What you see there is just the cover. It's a PDF file designed to be printed landscape on regular printer paper so you can fold it into a booklet. Print pages 1 and 2 back to back, and pages 3 and 4 back to back. Assemble and fold together. Each page has room for the kids to write down the characteristics of that particular vertebrate, and the back cover has a little bit of matching. All the images are from the fantastic image library at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
I also plan to share my full lesson plan with the activities and resources I'm using. Coming up: Mammals and Fish.

El Soplao, a jewel in the depths of Cantabria
A weird and wonderful formation, typical of the interior of El Soplao
A spectacular ceiling in one of El Soplao's galleries
Light, shadow, colour and sound fill the cavern
Feel like an explorer to another planet and discover an unknown universe hidden underground. Come to El Soplao Cave, in Cantabria, northern Spain, and admire a natural treasure of light, shadow, sound, and weird and wonderful formations. A stunning place, carved out by mother nature.
Cantabria is a region of stunning landscapes facing the sea, both in its inland mountains but also underground. Beneath its meadows and mountains there is a hidden world of caverns and caves that will take you to places straight out of science fiction. One of these magical places is El Soplao. 60 kilometres from Santander, you will find this wonderful place that inspires awe in all those who go and visit. It is an incredible work of nature made up of wells and underground rivers, vertical gorges, crystal clear lakes, labyrinthine galleries and rocks of different colours and formations. A delight hidden from the eyes of man for centuries, shaped by the action of water and moisture over thousands of years.
You do not need to be an expert to enter El Soplao. One and a half kilometres of the cave has been made accessible to all, from children as young as six. You can visit the cave all year round and it has disabled access too. You do not need to take any special equipment to begin your adventure. In an hour's walk, children and the elderly alike are fascinated by the stalactites and
stalagmites that rise up from the cave floor and hang down from the ceiling and walls. It is the abundance and grandiose nature of the weirdly-formed helictites, however, that make this cave unique. A guide will accompany you along the galleries, where you can also see the remains of an old mine.
The best, though, is yet to come. Wednesday-Sunday, the more daring can explore a deeper part of the cavern. The only requirements: you must be over 16, have full mobility and be keen to learn and have fun. Six new kilometres of galleries have been opened up to the public. To explore this area, which is a little more demanding, you need to take some equipment that will be given to you in the cave itself, comprising a waterproof boiler suit, a helmet with lamp, socks and waterproof boots. Two expert guides accompany the groups on a walk that lasts two and a half hours. On the way you will have to jump, crouch, squeeze up against the walls... in short, live and feel the cavern to the full. Because the place emits its own noises and silences, and you can hear the cavern as though it were a living being, in constant formation by the ceaseless dripping of water.
As you can see, there are a host of sensations awaiting you in this underground Cantabrian gem. In any case, to book your ticket in advance and obtain further information about the different tours of El Soplao available, you should call the booking and information line (902 820 282).

A nominating committee has named three finalists to serve as district judge in the 6th Judicial District, which includes Archuleta, San Juan and La Plata counties.
The finalists are William Herringer and Todd Norvell of Durango, and Todd Starr of Pagosa Springs.
They were selected Feb. 27 by the 6th Judicial District Nominating Commission. In addition to the three finalists, four others applied, including District Attorney Todd Risberg, La Plata County Magistrate Sarah Law, Durango lawyer Steven Boos and lawyer E. Michelle Sylvain.
Gov. John Hickenlooper has until March 14 to appoint one of the finalists.
The vacancy is being created by District Judge David Dickinson, who retired last month.
Starr, 49, is county attorney for Archuleta County. He also is serving as interim county administrator. If selected, he would be the first non-Durango resident to serve as 6th Judicial District judge, he said.
He grew up in Colorado, was admitted to practice law in 1989 in Nebraska, moved to Cortez in the 1990s, and moved to Archuleta County in 2009.
Starr said he has broad experience in law, including commercial litigation, family law, probate work, representing governmental bodies and some criminal work.
If appointed, Starr said he would draw on his diverse background and try to treat all people equally.
The role of the judiciary is to adhere to the facts and apply the law, not to create the law, he said. I would foster an environment that would promote justice.
Herringer, 47, has a private practice specializing in criminal defense, divorce and family law.
He was admitted to practice law in 1993 in Colorado. He served as a deputy public defender for five years, mostly in Durango. In addition to criminal defense, he has practiced civil law and criminal law in federal court.
He moved to Durango in January 1994. He was arrested that the same year in Durango for drunken driving. He received a deferred judgement and sentence.
I made a mistake, and I accepted the responsibility for that mistake, he said. Its not conduct that I condone or approve of. Its a distant part of my past, but still part of my past.
Herringer serves on the Durango Nature Studies board of directors and has served on other boards.
I have a very strong commitment and love for our community, he said. Durango and all the counties in the 6th Judicial District are very important to me.
Herringer described his judicial philosophy like this: Its important that judges strive to treat everyone with dignity and work toward getting the right results in all types of cases, he said.
Norvell, 48, is an assistant U.S. attorney in Durango.
He was first admitted to practice law in 1991 in Texas. He also practiced in New Mexico before moving to Durango in 1997.
He worked as a deputy district attorney for the 6th Judicial District from the late 1990s to 2001. He then became a special agent with the FBI from 2001 to 2003. He returned to the District Attorneys Office from 2003 to 2007, before becoming a federal prosecutor.
I believe strongly in the integrity of the judicial system, and that everybody deserves to be treated with fairness and respect, and that judges should follow the law, he said.
He added: Its a great opportunity for public service and to give back to the community and the legal system that I care a great deal about.

Cyber 10B/Helps minimize damage to drive train.
A huge selection of new option parts for the Cyber 10B are now available for racers and bashers wanting to optimize the tuning capabilities of the buggy, or make it even faster for club racers. Racers will love this Adjustable Slipper Clutch Set because it will allow them to fine-tune the traction settings of the Cyber 10B for optimal traction and getaway on all types of track surfaces. Set it tight for high-bite tracks, and set it looser for low-grip surfaces. The slipper clutch allows you to worry less about precise throttle control and get more power to the ground as quickly as possible. Racer Tip: If you can hear or sense the slipper slipping for more than a couple of metres, tighten it by 1/8 of a turn for extra grip and acceleration.
Used properly and with the right skills, the Cyber 10B can put more expensive race-bred 4WD buggies in their place! And with these cool new options you can get the ideal dialled-in setup for your local track.

Travis Rice
Age: 24
Sponsors: Quiksilver, Lib Tech, DC, Red Bull, Grenade Gloves, Jack's Garage, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Plantronics
Years snowboarding: A baker's dozen
Roots: Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Home: Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Stance: Goofy, around 23 inches wide with nineteen degrees angle on my front foot and negative-nine on my back foot.
Forward lean: Not too much, not too little. Forward lean does help your cause. Basically if you're looking for some hot jibs then zero it out, but if you're looking to dial in some serious grooves on the pristine corduroy then dial that shit up!
Board: I've spent the last three years dialing in my board with Lib Tech. The Travis Rice MTX ($490)is a fine-tuned high-performance machine now! I have a 153, 157, 161, and 164. I usually ride the 157 for park and resort and the 161 for pow days and AK. The real secret though is my Banana Hammock! It's hands down the best powder board I've ever ridden. It has reverse side cut and reverse camber (Banana technology). It's a little scary to ride on hard pack, but unreal if you have any type of soft corn snow or deep powder. It's epic because you have no toe or heel cup resistance. It's a full twin and is the butteriest thing this side of margarine.
Boots: I ride DC's Allegiance Double Boa ($325). Super convenient and super comfortable. This boot will last you two years and just gets better with time, just make sure to wear clean socks.
Bindings: Bent Metals New Juice ($239).
Personal Settings: I basically rock my gear stock, FOB (fresh out the box).
Tuning techniques: I wax a lot. If your board isn't slick, then you're just selling yourself short. We have spent many years getting Bluebird wax to where it is today. It is rider owned and operated. Stick it to the man and support the cause.
Outerwear: I like an insulated jacket personally and I designed the most bamba ass Rasta jacket with Quiksilver this year. Bap bap. Matt French did a custom-art piece for the inside as well. Bonus! It comes with a secret pocket too for all you dirts.
Jacket: Quiksilver Mule Kick in black ($200)
Pants: Quiksilver Scorpion pant, in red ($150)
Gloves: Grenade you fool (XXX).
Goggles: Quiksilver Q1 ($79)
Riding style: I would say my riding style is just a wee bit left of center. Except on Wednesday of course. And um, powder.

A priest who was removed from his parish for improvising prayers during the celebration of Mass has now been suspended from all other priestly duties—a severe punishment usually only meted out to priests accused of such grave crimes as child abuse. The Rev. Bill Rowe, 72, had been a parish priest at St. Mary Catholic Church in Mount Carmel, Ill., for 18 years. A U.S.-based liturgy specialist and chaplain said: "Many Catholic priests now are over 65. If the church starts going around checking up on the way they are saying Mass, they may find many of them are not always sticking to the exact wording of the Mass—especially since the new translation was introduced…. It is also unpleasant to think that the bishop listened to a small number of parishioners who had been secretly recording Father Rowe. This sends an awful message to our already overstretched clergy."

This past summer I conducted numerous strategic planning sessions for bank, business and cooperative boards and management teams. Many of the engagements are repeat sessions where my opportunity to establish relationships with participants grows each year.
In one board planning session, a younger board member and I engaged in discussion. I asked him how things were going. He stated that it was a good year on the farm, which comprised both crops and livestock. However, he indicated that an unusual Black Swan event hit his business when his brother, who was of similar age, who managed the crop operation, passed away suddenly in his sleep. This young man then proceeded to discuss the following.
A farm estate plan had been established and it worked very well concerning the necessary insurances and division of assets and equity. A shortcoming of the estate plan was that they had only worked through the scenario of his 70+-year-old parents dying first. He recommended that I write an article focusing on the importance of succession planning for each of the business partners, regardless of age, in the case of possible of death or disability.
The young man indicated the biggest issue he had faced was lack of succession and transition plans concerning loss of a partner. While he managed the livestock operation, his brother was responsible for crops. He was able to manage the 14 employees on the livestock side. Now he not only had to manage those employees, but also the production and marketing of crops as well as seven employees on the crop side. He had established a system of management protocols for employees on the livestock side, but none had been established by his brother for the cropping enterprise.
Luck was on his side. A former medical worker has decided to come on as a manager to oversee the cropping operation, which will reduce pressure on this young board member. My suggestion was to get input from each employee concerning what his brother had done well to make a successful cropping operation. This input will provide buy-in from the employees and assist the owners and the new manager in developing a system of change.
He stated that more time in strategic planning needs to be prioritized towards succession and transition management rather than just estate planning. Working through "but what if" scenarios proactively can reduce stress in the event of a tragic Black Swan event.
P.S. That evening at dinner, his wife stated that he was quite stressed out about all the additional responsibilities. She stated that he wanted to pay the new crop manager a salary and bonus. His 70-year-old dad objected, saying he needs to be paid on an hourly basis because all the other employees are on an hourly basis. The bottom line is that this decision to pay on an hourly basis will cost them significantly more money in the long run. The son is frustrated. This is just another example of some of the issues that come up in farm transition management.

Adina Plastelina
Adina Plastelina, located in Yafo, Israel, creates innovated and unique jewelry. Their unique and colorful designs make them a front runner for all types of Israeli jewelry. Founded in 2002, Adina Plastelina began selling their jewelry in 2004. Today they can be found in stores throughout Israel and abroad.
Who is Adina Plastelina?
Adi Prahia comes from a background of childhood arts and crafts and has an academic training in Art History. Sami Leder started by sculpting mythical creatures out of any and every material he could find including sea shells, tree roots and flowers. Together, they make up Adina Plastelina and have created their own unique style using polymeric clay.
Materials Techniques
All Adina Plastelina products are handmade. Their unique designs are created from metals including gold and sterling silver as well as polymer clays and enamel.
Polymer clays are used to add color and detail to the designs in a technique stemming from the ancient process of millefiori. The name millefiori translates to a million flowers in Italian and is used to describe the process of creating many flowers or shapes to create a mosaic design in clay or glass. There are three stages for creating mosaic glass patterns: first, a few colored glass rods, in accordance with the desired pattern, are held together and fussed into one multi-colored rod. Second, using pliers, the rod is stretched until it becomes a long and thin tread. The formally formed design does not change, it only decreases in size. The third and last stage is the slicing of the colorful rod into slices showing a one dimensional picture on their faces. Polymer clays are naturally soft, and hence the melting and reducing process are perform by manual rolling and tightening, providing more accurate and richer results than with glass.
The metal portion of the piece is created using a variety of silversmithing techniques often including lost wax casting, the process in which metal is cast from an artist's sculpture. This technique is often used because of the intricate designs that can be achieved, primarily depending on the carver's skills.
Once the metal and clay components are completed they are combined together and the top of the piece is given a coating of clear enamel, giving it a glossy glass like finish.
Adina Plastelina's vivacious designs draw influence from the plant and animal kingdoms, Israeli culture as well as other romantic and mystical influences. Their diverse millefiori patterns are created while utilizing the widest array of natural colors including malachite, coral, mercury, and textile texture such as leopard and hounds tooth, combined with Eastern ornamenting work, as a tribute to ancient techniques such as millefiori and are inspired by the works of Gustav Klimt.

Smelly Old History
Greek Grime
A cleverly conceived slant on history for children, ages 6-13, the Smelly Old History series (nine total in the series), explores three ancient civilizations in these new releases. The earthier aspects of long-ago cultures which are of burning interest to children—such as human waste, warfare, bodily decoration and corpses—are all pungently addressed in a straightforward, kid-to-kid tone which alternately disgusts and fascinates the reader.
Largely cartooned by illustrators Vince Reid and Chris Smedley with occasional supplementary photographs in black-and-white, the books ably depict the seamier, stinkier sides of life, such as battles, body odor and death, without graphic overkill or offensiveness.
One drawback is the too-similar smell of many of the scratch 'n' sniff patches. A wider variety of examples—beyond the disgusting—would have been nice, such as a whiff of cedar gum, commented upon, but not provided, in the Mouldy Mummies book. Fortunately, the books are sealed individually in plastic; once opened, they off-gas a distinct, ubiquitous odor, which may be the foundation chemical used in the olfactory recipes.
Deciphering British slang such as "loo" (the bathroom) or "pong" (big bad smell), children may relish the slight foreign flavor such linguistic differences provide. Overall, they will enjoy the gross-out nature and slightly taboo content of the books. Parents will likely be more reluctant to smell scratch 'n' sniff patches such as the one labeled "horse manure" from Greek Grime, but their consolation prize is the avid interest with which kids will read these quick, yet sensual tours of history.

Diego Costa vows to deliver trophies
Striker Diego Costa has vowed to do his utmost to deliver trophies for Chelsea.
The Brazil-born Spain striker joined the Blues from Atletico Madrid, who he helped to a first La Liga title in 18 years, breaking the duopoly of Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Jose Mourinho's Chelsea are chasing a first Premier League crown since 2010 when the new season kicks off next month.
Costa carries a heavy burden, with Mourinho bemoaning his strikers last term and Chelsea's forward recruits having a history of struggling to make a prolonged impression, apart from Didier Drogba.
"I'd say to the fans that you need to be confident that I personally will fight for this club to make sure we are in contention to win as many trophies as possible," Costa told Chelsea TV. "I'm part of a great group here of players and we will do everything we can to give the fans what they want -- and that's titles."
Costa insisted it was a straightforward choice to move to Stamford Bridge.
"It was an easy decision for me to make," he added on chelseafc.com. "We have some of the best players in the world, the best manager in the world and it's a club with great history.
"I want to improve, not only as a player but as an individual, and I believe this is the perfect place for me to do that. That's the reason I chose Chelsea and why I want to defend this shirt."
Mourinho wants Costa to perform the way he did for Atletico and the striker believes his attributes mean he is suited to the Premier League.
"One of the main things [Mourinho] said was that he doesn't want me to change," added Costa, who scored 64 goals in 134 appearances for Atletico. "It was Jose's and the club's decision to buy me and the reason they signed me was because of the way I played at Atletico.
"I don't feel I have to change much, I just have to improve fine details to become a better player, hopefully I will have a similar season to the last one."
Another Chelsea striker, Romelu Lukaku, is training with his former club Anderlecht this week in a bid to hit the ground running when he links up with Chelsea at the end of this month.
The Belgium striker has spent the past two seasons on loan and been linked with a move elsewhere, but could be given an opportunity by Mourinho this term.

Ugh,tough one crush.Padres have pitts number.
On a brighter note,texas stayed under! yeah!
Yes, should have shown some patience, being at 10 especially. Those were 4 tough baseball games on Survivor last night, and I shouldn't have forced a pick. Back on the saddle.....
You know what is so f''n annoying? Watching a simulation game through ESPN Gamecast. I'm sure you have all watched this before. We recently got the Dish Network. The wife sprung it up on me a couple of weeks ago. They had a special going on, a bunch of free movie channels, and a lot less monthly then Cox Cable. And the wife chimes in with, " they have all the sports, football and baseball channels. You can watch all the games. " We all know you can only get all the games on Direct TV. I can't even get Fox Sports West, where I could watch all of the Dodger and Angel games. I even was able to watch the Padres games. (I hate those $@%^^) Now even if there is a Dodger game on ESPN they black that shat out!!! So there I am watching this debacle on gamecast last night, wondering how the green "ball" keeps popping up even though it is in the middle of the strike box. And start to roll my eyes when there is a delay in the update because I know someone just had a big hit and scored and it takes whoever is updating this crap forever to type in the information. !!!! And how they keep catching the ball when it looks like it is at least 20 feet over the fence on there! Hmmm. And the wife asks, " how can you get so mad over a video game?"
WTF was Burnett smoking last night, 'cause it wasn't his fastball.
Tough one crush, but maybe Pliss will keep going while you, smooth & others get reorganized. Meanwhile Bunett gets his ist strike .
no streak pick for me today.full slate of games friday.
Texas U9.5 again

I don't know what rock I've been under, but there are some seriously cool fonts to be had at UK type foundry, Colophon. And for an extra twist all the of the typefaces are limited edition which I've never heard of in font-land before. Knowing just how much intense technical detail goes into each letter, and then to make the whole batch limited edition makes them all the more special. Colophon also spends a lot of love on the sample books for each face, they are works of art in their own right.
And the fonts themselves? For the most part they're simple and timeless, but with enough flair to make them unique. Want, want them ALL. Check 'em out!

from the yeah,-that'll-go-over-well dept
"I did try to explain with a great deal of candor to counsel for the North Face that the general public is aware of the difference between a face and a butt."Well, now he may get the chance to explain that in court as well. Despite all of the publicity around those original threats, which resulted in many people trashing North Face for threatening this parody operation, North Face has apparently decided to still move forward with a lawsuit against the kid (thanks Jackie). Apparently, North Face has no sense of humor whatsoever. It's really amazing that no one at North Face paid much attention to what was being said online about the company even in bringing the threat of a lawsuit. Now that it's actually filed, the backlash may be an even bigger deal. While it is true that companies need to police misuses of their trademark, this was an opportunity for North Face to act cool about it (and, hell, why not just grant the kid a license). It would have made them look cool. Instead, they look like big corporate bullies, beating up on a kid who was having fun selling a parody line of clothing.

DON Woodward is to stand down as Wanderers chairman at the end of the month.
Increasing work commitments have been cited as the reason for Woodward leaving the hotseat after two years in the role.
Andrew Howard, who was appointed to the Wanderers board last month, will be the man to step into Woodward's shoes.
Howard, owner of the North Dean-based Beechdean Dairy Farmhouse company and the current British GT3 champion, will officially take over as Blues chairman on August 1.
Woodward, an accountant by profession, was appointed chairman after the Wycombe Wanderers Trust took over the ownership of the club two summers ago following a protracted takeover from Steve Hayes.
He will remain a member of the Trust board and will provide guidance to the new man in charge.
Woodward said: "After two years as chairman of Wycombe Wanderers Football Club, the time has come for me to step down and hand over this challenging and rewarding role to Andrew Howard. "Having worked hard to provide a platform for this next stage of development, I am excited about this next chapter for the club and will remain on the Trust Board to help assist the new chairman in his role.
"I have asked Andrew to take on the role from August 1, ready for the coming season, and wish him every success in this new and exciting chapter for the club."
Howard said: "I have been working closely with Don to ensure I am fully equipped to take on the role as chairman, continuing to build a platform that the club can grow from and I am very much looking forward to Wycombe Wanderers continuing its exciting journey."
Trust Chairman Trevor Stroud said: "I would like to personally thank Don for his tireless commitment and the commendable job he has done as Wycombe Wanderers Chairman over the last two years. His efforts during the takeover two years ago and since have been an integral part of ensuring Wycombe Wanderers' future as a professional football club."
In a statement the Wycombe Wanderers Trust said: "Don took over the chairman's role at a challenging time for the club and has worked tirelessly since then to establish a platform for growth. In this time the club has gone through many highs and lows and it is a credit to Don that he has steered the club to its current position.
"Due to increasing personal work commitments Don has now decided that the time is right to step down as chairman but he will remain on the trust board and assist the new chairman.
"We would like to thank Don for his vital input to Wycombe Wanderers over the many years and his commitment to the chairman's role over the last two years."

The Contrarian Banker Who Avoided Bad Loans... And Is Now Buying Up The Scraps
from the no-gov't-money-needed dept
Of course, now that things have collapsed, he's buying up distressed assets for pennies on the dollar, and wants to buy more, planning to become a huge bank. Oh, and all that government money that's supposed to help those private companies who are buying up these assets? He doesn't qualify for most of it (no more than a token amount that's not even worth taking). Instead, it's really designed for the folks who screwed things up in the first place. This guy -- who actually saw what was going on, and prepared for it, now has to compete against those who screwed up and are being handed billions by the government.

Starting the first day Wilson came into being in January 1849, an uncommon effort has been required to maintain the passable flow of foot and wheel traffic. That was the first service provided by the Public Services Department which now has telescoped into an impressive list of mankind required services that, together, form a key factor in Wilson's outstanding livability.
In on of its first actions, the Town Board, 150 years ago, appointed Charles Kenyon as Overseer of Streets. From that start Wilson now has a travel complex of miles and miles of streets, and all 259 miles are paved.
In 1890, creature requirements caused the Town Council to take actions that would greatly enlarge the services being provided to the Town's offerings in Public Services. A bond issue was taken to the citizens in a positive election that resulted in the Town's Water services being created. A Water Plant was built beside what is now Corbett Avenue at Toisnot Swamp. Lines ware laid and water was soon flowing to the homes and businesses in Wilson.
Garbage was already being collected in a horse drawn wagon, which in a few years was replaced by a motor driven open body truck, then more trucks, and finally, packers similar to today's models.
The first rudimentary water plant was replaced by a new plant attached to the electric power plant adjacent to the Atlantic Coast Line Rail line and Maplewood Cemetery. Additionally water services were provided when Contentnea Creek was dammed at Wiggins Mill beside Highway 301 in 1920.
In the modern era a second water treatment plant was built beside Wiggins Mill on Forest Hills Road and Contentnea Creek was dammed, again, at Buckhorn in Western Wilson County. Meanwhile, Toisnot Swamp received two new dams, one to form Lake Wilson and another to form Toisnot Reservoir. Currently, Wilson has taken another major step in water resources with the construction of a new and larger dam at Buckhorn on the Contentnea to double the size of the reservoir there.
Wilson began its handling of human wastes with the start of a system with sewer lines that transported the waste to Toisnot Swamp. This first effort occurred about 1870. That system has developed today into a large Wastewater delivery and treatment system that serves the industries, businesses, and homes of Wilson. Actual treatment of sewage began here in 1939. The nerve center of this operation is off Stantonsburg Road on Hominy Swamp.
Public Transit began in Wilson in 1967 with the start of City bus service. This was coupled with privately operated rail service on two railroads, commercial intra city bus service, and City franchised Taxi Services. The railroads came first and the first was instrumental in the founding of Wilson. In an effort to centralize transportation services here, Wilson created the Transportation Center on East Nash and Lodge Streets, worked diligently for the restoration of the CSX Train Station across the street, and pushed hard for both Amtrack passenger services and North Carolina Stat Rail Services.
Private air traffic began in Wilson in the late Twenties with the development of a private airport along what is now Anderson Street. This was followed by the development of the Wilson Airport, converting a World War II training facility which has now been transformed into the Wilson Industrial Air Center as a result of the development of the Wilson-Rocky Mount Airport which was built to provide the first commercial air service in the immediate Wilson area.

The La Grange family is truly a classic Mediterranean style with its heavy scrolled metal frame and turned wood center column. This family of lights is finished in a Seville Iron, a blend of a dark bronze with subtle gold accents added to coordinate with many of today's interiors. The glass shading makes the difference with a very slight amber tone etching on a large bell shaped fluted shade. Unique in styling the La Grange is tasteful and graceful.

MIAMI, Fla. (Feb. 16, 2010) - Carding the day's best team score at 292, the ETSU women's golf team finished just two strokes off the lead and posted a third place finish following third and final round action in the Hurricane Invitational Tuesday at the Don Shula Country Club.
The Bucs ended the event at 896 (304-300-292) and finished two strokes back of team champion Central Florida at 894, while Georgia State finished second at 895. Individually, ETSU sophomore Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria) fired a team-best round of 71 on the final day to finish tied for fourth on the individual leaderboard, five strokes back of individual medalist Christine Wong of San Diego State. Wong finished at 217 for the tournament.
"I am really proud of how our team played today, especially shooting the low score of the day," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton. "Finishing in front of teams like San Diego State, Coastal Carolina, N.C. State, Miami, Kentucky, Memphis and Southern Miss helps get our spring off to a strong start. Our goal is to win events, but this was a good, quality effort by our ladies."
Along with Muehl's team-best effort, fellow sophomore Mayte Vizcarrondo (Cadiz, Spain) finished tied for seventh and just six strokes back of the lead after posting a final round score of 72. In addition, seniors Sinead O'Sullivan (Galway, Ireland) and Kennie Leigh Eisenhower (Newport) finished tied for 17th and 20th, respectively, while fellow senior Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia) tied for 38th.
The Bucs will return to action Feb. 21 at the Kiawah Island Intercollegiate, and ETSUBucs.com will provide daily updates throughout the event.
