Great school, but diversity is lacking - I was a student there - class of '82
Our experience at St. Joan of Arc has been nothing short of outstanding. We moved from the City to the Evanston community ten years ago. We were embraced by the school and it has been an exceptional experience. The community embraces all students, stresses the importance of education, respect, committment, giving to others, leadership and community involvement. We believe this is the best kept secret on the North Shore. A hidden jewel among several other choices. The Principal and Teachers are firm, committed and caring. Every student matters at St. Joan. We have been so fortunate to have landed in such an outstanding community!
We thank God our three young men had the experience of St. Joan of Arc as a child. In this every changing world with all the pressures youth endure, the school provided a consistent basis of morality, respect, spirituality and service to others. I am very proud of how my boys have matured along with their school mates. The kids got a solid education and I was truly impressed at their HS graduations to realize that the majority of their grade school friends were in the top ranks academically as well as honors for their service to others and extracurricular activities in which they were involved. St. Joan of Arc is a unique and dynamic school with a caring, connected staff led by a top-notch principal.
I have had three children attend this fabulous "treasure" of a school; two have graduated onto high school and college and one is just finishing at SJA. I would highly recommend this school to all parents---it is the perfect combination of academics and caring. Ms. Hampson, the current principal is incredible. She has a great vision for the future while ensuring high quality education on a daily basis. Also, Ms. Hampson along with the teachers really get to know the students, care about them and instill a love of learning--verus just getting grades. They also have the abilty to differentiate learning so that a child can build on its strengths while working on their weaknesses. You notice a major difference in the children who attend and graduate from SJA--they are articulate, poised, caring and hard-working. We can't truly say enough good things about SJA.
Both of my children have attended St. Joan of Arc School (SJA) from K-8th grade. Both tested into honors in HS and felt they were well prepared for their course load. SJA has a strong focus on academics and student leadership that is unparalleled in our area. Class size is small so teachers have the ability to use progressive teaching techniques that support the highest achieveing students in the class as well as those who may need extra assistance. Manners, community service, and a respect for all are instilled in the children from the moment they enter the school and reinforced throughout their tenure. I feel very lucky that our family has had the oppotunity to experience a truly fantastic K-8 well-rounded educational institution.
My two kids have come through St. Joan and it has provided a tremendous foundation for them as they moved into their high school career. St Joan kids consistetnly achieve at a higher level in high school than students from other middle schools. Tuition is lower than most Catholic schools on the North Shore as well!
We have four children who attend St. Joan of Arc school. They range in age from pre-school to 6th grade. Our children have really thrived in the early childhood program. The teachers have provided a safe and nurturing environment for the kids to learn and play with new friends. In the elementary grades, our children have been challenged by excellent teachers, developed great study skills, and made long-lasting friendships. They love being part of all the SJA sports teams and enjoy the meaningful extracurricular activities that are offered each day! I would highly recommend this school to any parent!
I have 3 children enrolled here and since the beginning (pre-school) we have found this to be a wonderful, nurturing environment for all of them. The school has challenged my kids academically and offers a variety of extracurricular activities (ie: band, Science Olympiad, sports. etc...). There are numerous school events where all students can participate allowing each of them to "shine" and as a result my children have grown to be quite comfortable when required to speak in public. I find the teachers to be outstanding; a trend that has continued when a new hire is brought on staff. Parental participation is also a big reason this school works! Great school!
I have 3 children at this wonderful, Catholic school and believe it to be the best decision we ever made. I have witnessed how well prepared children who graduate from SJA are for high school (public and private) and beyond. Support and participation is necessary from families to make it work and personally we have found that whatever we put into this school we get back ten fold. You get what you give...
I graduated from SJA a few years back. Attending school here was one of the worst experiences of my life. The teachers shamelessly chose favorites out of a class of 21 students and would call out the others while allowing the favorite exemptions from homework and consequences. There is an extreme bullying problem at this school. The students form clicks and are highly exclusive. Many of the graduates have ended up in very bad places in the high school years; drug use and suicide attempts being common- of course not entirely the school's fault but in many circumstances it did play a large role. Despite the title of "Catholic" school, religion is seriously minimized and takes a backseat as the students homeroom teachers who specialize in other subjects attempt to teach a course they know little or nothing about. Overall, if you are considering sending your child here, I would highly not recommend it.
I would give it 10 stars if I could! I have two children at this school, one in 1st grade and one preschool. We count finding this school and this community as one of our life's greatest blessings. It is a rich, academic environment paired with a family-like atmosphere. We never doubt for a moment that through SJA we are offering our children the best education and childhood experience possible.
I have two children at the school. From the first day when we transferred my children here, the staff and parents have taken us into their circle to make us feel included in all activities inside and outside of school. Their extended care program is also wonderful in that it is affordable and well managed. Looking at their population of teachers and students, you'll find generations of families that attend and who come back to teach. I am confident in saying that my children feel safe and motivated when they go to school everyday.
My daughter started at St. Joan of Arc two years ago. What a special school - involved and dedicated families, teachers and staff go above and beyond to make this small school amazing. Solid academics combined with a values-based education provide students with a PreK-8th education that will carry them well into high school and beyond.
Saint Joan of Arc is a wonderful small school within a vibrant Christian community. It offers strong academics, a great extracurricular program, and teaches children about service to community.
I have three children currently in St Joan of Arc School. It is an excellent private, Catholic school with passionate, highly educated, professional and caring teachers led by a talented experienced spirtual principal. I feel the teachers really know the children and what will help them be their best. Parents are active and support the school and staff. Families share common respect and values for each other and feel part of a community. It is a mighty little school.
the little school that could. yes it is small, like any smaller institution there are imperfections, BUT,this is a seriously wonderful community that is rarely found.The new principal is phenomenal to say the least.
It is a great school and a wonderful sense of community. They are especially committed to early child development of the fundamentals.
I am the parents of three SJA students. The school has a wonderfully supportive, loving and enthusiastic staff. Acadmeics are solid, particularly in the lower grades. Sports and extracurricular atciivties such as Chess club and Mad Scientist attract many students. Parental involvemtn is encouraged in areas such as classroom reading, being a room parent and lucnh/recess duty.
The school is good academically to a certain extent. For instance, the curriculum does not have a solid foundation of providing art, music and a strong language curriculum. The children form clicks, in the classroom, because the classroom size is small. Also, clicks extend beyond the classroom and even occur between the parents and administrators. This in large part can be attributed to the community of parents that have grown up in the area for years and who have graduated from the school and decide to send their children to the school. If you are a minority, I would not send my child to this school, because of the ridicule that occurs from other children based on cultural differences.
Quality of education was good, however the small number of children makes the social enviroment poor. Clicks are created and the children can be very mean to newcomers. Not a good school for any child with a learning disability or any disabilty of that types as services for this are also poor. Sports are very popular here. unfortunatley there seems to be a lack of drama music and art. This would be a good school for students that are very strong in their studies however with only about 2o kids in each grade there is a real lack of social interactions and some kids seem to lack social skills. They end up graduating the eight grade being with the same 20 or so kids for eight years and it is all they know. The real world hits them fast.

In 1981, while visiting the Holy Land, Mum and I were taken to see Jacobs Well. There was ongoing tension in nearby Nablus. It was powerful to stand in this ancient holy place, where Jesus met the Samaritan woman. The historical conflict between Jews and Samaritans was mirrored in that between Israel and Palestine, and the subsequent plight of Palestinian refugees in the camps.

In Defense of Going Diaper-Free
A study on baby motor skills—namely, walking—suggests that diapers might be getting in the way
Do diapers get in the way of learning to walk?
According to new research on infant motor development from scientists at NYU, the answer appears to be yes.
The study compared the walking gaits—meaning foot placement and leg and hip movement—of 60 babies who were either naked, wore a thin disposable diaper, or a thick cloth diaper. Half the babies (30) examined in the study were 13-month-old beginner walkers. The other half were 19-month-old tots with a little more walking experience under their belts.
The results? When the 13-month olds walked naked on an approximately six-meter track, only 10 fell. When these same babies were put in disposable diapers, 17 fell. And in cloth diapers? All but nine fell when they tried to walk. Among the 19-month-olds, the results were a bit better: only four fell while naked or wearing disposables, but double that number fell when wearing cloth diapers.
To explain why diapers seem to be a detriment to walking, scientists point out that diapers tend to push babies' legs apart, forcing them to take wider and shorter steps—both signs of immature walking skills. "Simply put… infants walked as poorly while wearing a diaper as they would have done several weeks earlier had they been walking naked," the NYU team, led by psychology doctoral student Whitney G. Cole, wrote in their findings.
And here's where it gets interesting. Scientists now think, based on this experiment, that walking naked could speed up how quickly a baby reaches this milestone.
How much time does your baby spend walking naked? Among the babies in the study, most infants averaged only 41 minutes per week of naked walking and nearly one third had never walked au naturel. Ideally, babies would spend most of walking practice time naked, say scientists.
As for whether or not diaper-free time will catch on, Christina Maston, a Georgia mom of a one-year old just gearing up to take his first steps, says, "It makes sense that a big, bulky diaper would make it difficult for a baby to walk, and I actually will double-check to make sure our diapers are the thinnest possible."
But as for more naked time? As Maston adds, "I know that some moms practice elimination communication and go diaper-free… I just can't get beyond the question of, 'Who's going to clean up the mess?'"

A couple in South Carolina has been arrested for abuse of a 7-year-old boy, who was beat repeatedly with a belt and shoes. The victim told police that he was "spanked" on numerous days, and forced to keep soap in his mouth. He had multiple bruises on his shins and rear end.
The alleged abusers, Amber Tyler, 27, and Coolidge Mike McDaniel, 29, were charged with child cruelty and released Sunday on a $1,000 bond.
The police report said that the little boy was afraid to go home because he might get "spanked" again for telling.
Let's be very clear about something before we go any further: This kind of abuse is not, I repeat, NOT spanking. I know that some people would argue that all spanking is abuse, but I can't think of any sane, responsible adult that would classify blows that leave bruises as spanks.
Parents that choose to spank their children should have rules regarding the use of it as a punishment. First of all, it should be used for discipline only. The child should know why they are being spanked, and if they're anything like my kids, they'll know exactly why before even being reminded.
Spankings should always be followed by love and forgiveness. Isn't that the point of punishment? To correct bad behavior so we can get back to having fun? My kids aren't often spanked anymore (they're growing out of that stage), but they've always been back to happy play within minutes. They usually recover from the trauma of it all much more quickly than I do.
The parameters should be decided on with the parenting partner, and made known to the children, before such discipline is used. In our house, the kids get between one and three swats on the rear (depending on the offense), and they get to choose between dad with an open hand or mom with a kitchen spoon.
Spankings should never, ever, ever leave bruises. Ever. A spanking that leaves a bruise is not a spank. Spanks should be swift and sting, but a quick swat is not the same as a punch, kick, or even slap. That's abuse, not discipline.
Shame on anyone that justifies child abuse by labeling it "spanking."
Do you spank your children? Do you cringe when you hear of violent abuse mislabeled as spanking?
Image via BackgroundNow.com/Flickr
Some would say that "spanking" your kid with a kitchen spoon is bordering on abuse. Da fuq?
I think if spanking is going to be a form of punishment, it should always be done when the parent or spanker isn't angry. It should be done in a manner of control. I was rarely EVER spanked, really none of use were. I do spank, but for the most part I use time outs. My son works wonders when he has time outs, my daughter can care less. But a swat on her hiney and its over. Its all in the way that the spanking is approached. Mainly its just important to have consistency. But to lash out on a child... with words or physically is wrong. And I'm sickened it.
Way to set you your daughters for tolerating domestic abuse "spankings should always be followed by love and forgiveness"
I use spankings solely for my children when they are between the ages of three and five and only for deliberate disobedience. For example, I told my three year old to stay out of the pantry until lunch time. I came back to find him sticking his hand in the peanut butter jar. After cleaning him up, I reminded him what I had said and he confirmed that he remembered. He got three swats (because he is three years old) and a three minute time out. He came out afterwards to apologize and we moved on. By the time my kids are five, deliberate disobedience does not occur.
Kelticmom, I agree 100%. Very well said.
Husbands and wives are equals, parents and children are not. I think that is a silly comparison. As is claim that it is setting kids up to be ok with domestic abuse. When I was a kid my mom only spanked me when it was something REALLY serious (ie:running into the street), and it was one quick, painless swat on my behind to shock me and get her point across effectively. It was ALWAYS followed up with love and reassurance. As in "I love you so much, that is very dangerous and I need you to understand that, that is why I spanked you". Never did it again. And for the record, I dont believe in spanking my kids, I just don't agree with that line of reasoning.

"...but I'll defend to the death your right to say it… Really?"
Voltaire once said "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" Would I? Really? While maybe not dead, civility is definitely paralyzed in our country, in our communities, and in our homes. At what point did it become easier to antagonize, patronize, and vilify the "other" instead of conducting a reasoned discussion about the perplexing issues that surround us? Well into the machinations of the most recent elections it was being reported by various media sources that Americans were more divided than during any other time in history. There is simply something that does not sound quite right about that statement. Is it possible to have an honest and reasoned discussion? Is it possible to objectively consider an opposing point of view? Do we even agree on what the problems are? Disagreements are inevitable but being disagreeable is not. What do you think?

Nov 15 2012: I don't think, I know that this has much to do with neglect or deliberate exclusion of "social development" in the education models which predominate western society. As an America I even wonder if this has been long considered and deliberately avoided because social development leads to the conclusion that warfare is idiotic. We, America, of course however are dependent upon periodic conflict because our arms industries, defense contractor etc are such a big part of America's economy. There is only one "best" answer to humanities direction and that was already agreed upon over 20 years ago in formulation of the "sustainable development movement" and its charter document "Agenda 21 i.e. to invest in cooperation more robustly than preparation for foreign aggression. But this notion has been hushed up and Agenda 21 vilified as a nefarious "new world order" out to take away rights and sovereignties. Nonsense. Twenty years have gone by and no one in a blue helmet ha kicked in your door and demanded your weapon.
Social development IMO should become the top imperative of a new model of education where knowledge becomes secondary because wrapped up in social development are all the issues of motivation and why to learn. Along with that naturally comes how to value strangers and develop "synergy" whereas today even with the net we default to territorialism, one-upmanship, defensiveness, competition and the like. All of this can be turned around and we can surprise ourselves--astonish ourselves--with what's possible with this particular change i.e. establishing social development as the horse that pulls the cart of education. I'm ready. Fired up?

In an effort to secure a first-line centre, the Montreal Canadiens took on a burdensome contract and, for good measure, included a top prospect in the deal.
Numbers Game examines Montreal's acquisition of centre Scott Gomez.
The Canadiens Get: C Scott Gomez, LW Tom Pyatt and D Michael Busto.
Gomez, 29, is considered a playmaking centre, having put up at least 40 assists in eight of his nine NHL seasons. However, he's coming off a poor season in which he tallied 58 points and was minus-2 and his lack of production was all the more jarring considering he skated more than 21 minutes a night while playing in 77 games.
A perennial concern with Gomez is that, despite increasing his shots on goal since the lockout, his goal production has dropped precipitously from his career-high 33 goals in 2005-2006 to just 45 total over the last three seasons.
The 2008-2009 season was undeniably a down season for Gomez's production, even though the Rangers tended to fare better when he was on the ice in terms of shots on goal, goals for and plus-minus, so it's not unreasonable to have hopes for increased production if he ends up with a better situation in Montreal.
Part of Gomez's appeal is that he's a setup man and with the Canadiens expected to be pursuing a scoring winger in free agency, Gomez's real impact is going to be determined largely by whomever the Canadiens can get to play alongside him.
To his credit, Gomez has been extremely durable throughout his career, never missing more than ten games in a season and he's been a quality playoff performer (including 39 points in 37 playoff games over the last four seasons), winning two Stanley Cups with the New Jersey Devils, and he's solid in the face-off circle, winning 52.4% of his draws last season.
Aside from Gomez's on-ice attributes, his biggest drawback is a long-term contract that will pay him $33.5-million over the next five seasons (at a salary cap hit of more than $7.35-million per season).
It's possible that the latter years of the contract, when the actual salary drops, could make Gomez more marketable, but the Canadiens surely aren't acquiring him with the idea of only getting a couple of years of quality production.
Gomez has reached the 70-point plateau four times in his career and the Canadiens have to hope he can do it at least a few more times over the next five seasons.
Pyatt is the younger, and smaller, brother of Taylor Pyatt, who is headed for free agency after three years with the Vancouver Canucks. The younger Pyatt doesn't project to be an impact player in the NHL, but the 22-year-old finished with 37 points in 73 AHL games last season and may be able to earn a fourth-line or part-time role in the next season or two.
23-year-old Michael Busto is a complete throw-in, not making much of an impact with 11 points and a minus-7 rating in the ECHL.
The Rangers Get: LW Christopher Higgins, D Ryan McDonagh, D Pavel Valentenko and D Doug Janik.
Playing a career-low 57 games last season, Higgins finished with just 12 goals and 23 points, significant drops in production for a reliable two-way winger who had scored more than 20 goals in each of the three previous seasons.
The 26-year-old isn't especially creative offensively, but has good speed and is willing to work the corners to create scoring opportunities. He plays a sound enough game to be a reliable third-line checker, yet has enough finish around the net to be a capable performer on the second line.
A restricted free agent, Higgins made $1.7-million last season. Given his production last year, a big raise seems unlikely, but that's exactly what the Rangers needed from this deal -- salary cap flexibility that will give them more room when trying to sign their own restricted free agents, including Nikolai Zherdev, Ryan Callahan and Brandon Dubinsky.
McDonagh is just 20 years-old and was a first-round pick in 2007. As a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin, McDonagh had 16 points and a minus-2 rating in 36 games and he has decent size at 6-foot-1, 203 pounds.
Considering the Canadiens practically did the Rangers a favour by taking on Gomez's contract, it's impossible to justify McDonagh's inclusion in the deal unless the Canadiens have decided that he's not likely to make it as an NHL regular and that just doesn't seem to be the general impression of McDonagh's development to this point in his career.
On the other hand, it's a little more understandable that the Canadiens included Pavel Valentenko in the trade, if only because his decision to leave the Hamilton Bulldogs and return to Russia may have left a sour taste with the organization. Even so, Valentenko has the ability to challenge for an NHL job, should he decide to make that commitment.
Doug Janik is a 29-year-old journeyman who will be an unrestricted free agent. If the Rangers happen to sign him, he would provide organizational depth.
The Rangers win this deal, hands down, if only because of the financial implications of the trade.
Perhaps Montreal has more moves in store that will make this deal more palatable, but it's still not going to justify including a top prospect like McDonagh.

From WENN.com
Adelia Zeidler and the Ocean's Eleven star have remained close throughout Clooney's rise to fame and over the years the siblings have kept in touch via email because it is the safest way for them to communicate.
She tells the New York Daily News, ""I just generally keep him up with what's going on in my life. I don't generally ask him what's going on in his life because I don't want to accidentally say something (to the media) that I shouldn't.
""He'll tell me things that are going on here and there but mostly we gab like brothers and sisters do about inconsequential matters.
""I do not have his phone number because I wouldn't want to have it in my phone and then lose my phone. He can phone me and he does occasionally, but the email is more convenient for both of us.""

Early life
Isabella was the daughter of John II of Castile and his second wife, Isabella of Portugal. Three years after her birth her half brother became king as Henry IV. Despite the fact that she had a younger brother, Alfonso, and that her early years were spent quietly with her mother at Arévalo, Isabella was soon drawn into Castilian politics. She was brought to court when she was 13 in order to be under the king's eye. At first the opposition to Henry IV gathered around Alfonso, but when the latter died in July 1468, the rebellious magnates naturally turned to Isabella. She did not, however, play the role thus designed for her, and the fruit of her wisdom was recognition as his heiress by Henry IV at the agreement known as the Accord of Toros de Guisando (September 19, 1468).
As heiress of Castile, the question of Isabella's future marriage became a matter of increasing diplomatic activity at home and abroad. Portugal, Aragon, and France each put forward a marriage candidate. Henry seems to have wanted his half sister to marry Afonso V, king of Portugal. As between the Portuguese and Aragonese candidates, she herself, no doubt assisted in her decision by her small group of councillors, came down in favour of Ferdinand of Aragon. A third suitor, the French duc de Guiènne, was sidestepped, and without Henry's approval she married Ferdinand in October 1469 in the palace of Juan de Vivero, at Valladolid. The prospect of an Aragonese consort led to the development of an anti-Aragonese party that put forward the claims of a rival heiress, Henry's daughter Joan, known as la Beltraneja by those who believed that her true father was Beltrán de la Cueva, duque de Albuquerque. The king encouraged this group by going back on the accord of 1468 on the grounds that Isabella had shown disobedience to the crown in marrying Ferdinand without the royal consent. He now rejected Isabella's claim to the throne and preferred that of Joan, for whom he sought the hand of the duc de Guiènne. Although Isabella and Henry were to some extent reconciled, the long-threatened war of succession broke out at once when the king died in 1474.

UN climate talks extended as developed and developing nations fail to agree on targets
®Copyright MediaCorp
United Nations climate talks seeking to halt the destructive effects of global warming have gone into overtime
Delegates knuckled down for a long night of last-ditch haggling to find consensus on an interim plan to rein in climate change and pave the way for a new deal.
Negotiators locked horns on funding for poor countries and extending the greenhouse gas-curbing Kyoto Protocol.
The US and the European Union have refused to put concrete figures to the plan to raise climate funding for poorer nations
Developing countries, meanwhile, say they need at least another 60 billion US dollars to deal with a climate change-induced rise in droughts, floods, rising sea levels and storms.
Non-governmental organisations and delegates have expressed frustration at the slow pace of negotiations

RAVENS PASSING GAME: Joe Flacco has thrown two touchdown passes in three of his past four games, but he continues to struggle with his accuracy and decision making. His 11 interceptions are one shy of tying a career high. He's also been sacked 30 times this season. The poor pass protection is one reason that the Ravens have had trouble connecting on deep passes. Torrey Smith, who was targeted 14 times last week, could benefit from the absence of Bears' cornerback Charles Tillman.
BEARS PASSING GAME: Josh McCown doesn't have the arm strength or the quick release of Jay Cutler, who is out with an ankle injury. But he's done well managing the offense, completing 60 percent of his passes, throwing no interceptions and getting the ball to the Bears' playmakers. Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery have been the league's most productive wide receiver duo, combining for 107 catches for 1,521 yards and 11 touchdowns. An overhauled offensive line has allowed just 14 sacks.
RAVENS RUNNING GAME: Each week brings more frustration for the Ravens' rushing attack. Their 73.1 rushing yards per game ranks 30th in the NFL and their 2.8 yards per carry average ranks last. Ray Rice's 2.5 yards per carry average is the lowest in the league among running backs. Rice could lose some carries to backup Bernard Pierce who ran hard last week. If the Ravens can't run the ball against the Bears' porous defense, it's a safe bet that they won't be able to run the ball against anyone.
BEARS RUNNING GAME: Matt Forte, who was selected 11 picks ahead of Ray Rice in the second round of the 2008 draft, is having another strong year. He's seventh in the league with 691 rushing yards to go along with seven touchdowns. He also is a threat out of the backfield with 44 catches. Overall, the Bears are averaging 111 rushing yards per game, which ranks 15th in the NFL. With McCown at the helm, Forte figures to be the focal point of the Ravens' defensive plans.
RAVENS RUSH DEFENSE: The Ravens gave up 120 rushing yards to the Cincinnati Bengals last week but they got stops when they needed them. They have allowed a league-low one rushing touchdown this season and they've now gone five straight games without allowing a touchdown on the ground. For the season, the Ravens are giving up 102.6 rushing yards per game, the 10th best mark in the NFL. Nose tackle Haloti Ngata's health bears watching after he tweaked his knee last week.
BEARS RUSH DEFENSE: The Ravens hapless running game may finally meet its match. The Bears' run defense ranks 31st in the NFL, allowing 129.4 rushing yards per game. Chicago has permitted 10 rushing touchdowns and an opposing back to eclipse the 100-yard mark in five of its nine games. Season-ending injuries to defensive tackle Henry Milton and middle linebacker D.J. Williams, along with the recent absence of weak-side linebacker Lance Briggs, have left the Bears vulnerable.
RAVENS PASS DEFENSE: With three interceptions and five sacks, the Ravens played one of their best defensive games of the season last week and it was keyed by the secondary. Cornerback Lardarius Webb was all over the field and Jimmy Smith continued to play well. Both will have their hands full this week matching up with Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery. The Ravens have at least two sacks in 17 straight games. Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil have combined for 17.5 of the team's 32 sacks.
BEARS PASS DEFENSE: Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Tillman was put on injured reserve with a designation to return on Monday, another blow to a struggling defense. Veteran Zack Bowman will start in his place, opposite Tim Jennings, who has 12 interceptions over the past two seasons. Starting free safety Chris Conte's play has been highly scrutinized, especially in run support. The Bears have just 14 sacks this season with Julius Peppers being held to two.

- happy birthdayOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/28/2014the food was great, and our server was spectacular - Rolondo was very attentive to our needs! We were a group of 8 adults plus our 2 1/2 year granddaughter. he offered the children's menu without us having to ask and offered to bring her meal first! sounds like a little thing, but it went a long way towards making it a relaxed evening. the food was excellent and plentiful - nobody went home hungry! The wait staff plated the birthday cake after a 'Harry Carey' salute! great evening, service, food and value! We will be back & would definitely recommend to friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lamb chops most expensiveLaserzxDined on 9/20/2014Not enough characters to describe the debacle.Garbage
- Holy Cow!DrchuckDined on 9/20/2014Great food! Especially the calamari. We had great service too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but overpricedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014I love Haray Carey's and have been there a few times before. I know it's an upscale steakhouse but I just think they are a little over priced for the portions that you receive. I think you should at least be able to get one side with your meal instead of it all being a la carte.
- Better OptionsBudm1Dined on 9/18/2014This was my first time and I regret to say it was simply fair. Service was not to the level I expect from a steakhouse. Appetizers and sides were good but steak was bland and not very flavorful. I even ordered their aged cut. It was cooked perfectly medium rare, but simply had no seasoning or flavor and was dry for a medium rare steak. Drinks were weak. For a $100 per person dinner, there are too many other steakhouse options in the area that would receive a better rating.Special Features:
- Holy cow, the service sucked!jorlowskiVIPDined on 9/15/2014Food was good...not great but good. Ambiance was great for a baseball/Cubs fan. Service was abysmal for the price. Waiter abandoned us in mid-service three times...when taking wine order, when opening wine, and when taking food order..."have to go service some food while it's hot"...and NEVER checked on us once our food was served until he brought the tab. One visit satisfied my desire to go...wont go back despite being at O'Hare area hotels four-five times per year.Special Features:
- Filling portions & good atmospheresheryljane80Dined on 9/14/2014My husband and dad ordered the "Holy Cow! burger". Both said it was one of the best burgers they'd ever had. My mom had the shrimp fettuccine (?) and cleaned her plate. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and couldn't finish-there was so much food. We had a quick timeline, but were able to get in and out without trouble and made it to our concert on time.Special Features:
- Hidden gemOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/13/2014Stumbled upon this restaurant on a way to a concert nearby. Not expecting much being that it was attached to a Holiday Inn. Boy was I shocked. The service was super prompt and efficient. The food was really good. We had steaks and a side of Mac and cheese and all were really tasty. Really excellent meal with attentive service. I would absolutely return. Good energy and vibe too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Large GroupsLittleskiDined on 9/13/2014We had 20 people and they were very accommodating. The bill was split 10 ways and there was no hassle.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not what I expectedGMG14Dined on 9/13/2014given the name, I expected a sports bar--which it is, but it's also a nicer restaurant as well. However, the food was just average in my opinion. We went here before a concert at Rosemont Theater. I thought the prices were high versus the quality of food. Not a bad place, but a little pricier than I think it needs to be.Special Features:
- Top Notch ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/12/2014From the time we arrived, our waitress Shelly took fantastic care of us. Great recommendations, great sense of humor and impeccable service and follow up. Every course was on par with what you'd expect from a premier steak house, but the real surprise was the kake salad. Im not kidding. It was soooo good. Thanks Harry Caray's for a great dinner.Special Features:
- You Had Us At HelloOzzy4Dined on 9/12/2014Wonderful Ambiance, impeccable service (loved the reading glasses they had for me to borrow to see the menu), smooth merlot (drinks were never empty), soft warm bread with melt in your mouth butter, great appetizer with all the fixings (calamari), food was simply fabulous (our party had steaks, fish, mushroom/steak ravioli, wedge salad, twice backed potato and asparagus). Food flowed at a great pace. Dessert of cream brulee was out of this world. Coffee was as smooth as the merlot. When we arrived we told them the time we had to leave a concert at the Rosemont and they made sure all food was completed by that time. We also sat at the bar that evening after the concert, which also had great service and a pretty view.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great option in Rosemont areaPOOH92643VIPDined on 9/11/2014This was a great alternative to other restaurants in the Rosemont Convention Center area. We had a wonderful dining experience and great service. Highly recommend it!Special Features:
- Overly attentive waiterOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 9/9/2014I had a business meeting at Harry Caray's this past Tuesday September 9th at 1 pm. I made the open table reservation. My party consisted of three. We ordered and begun talking about business. Every time one of us were beginning to speak the waiter rudely interrupted and asked if we needed something else or made a recommendation. After the third interruption I was so disappointed in this waiters involvement and interruptions I wanted to tell the manager to have him leave us alone. However, I did not want to embarrass my out of town guests. I have recommended Harry Caray's for my last four business meetings, because it is close to OHare and parking is available. The next time I may have to look for another restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- over pricedOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/5/2014Over priced food. 3 of us had the Grass fed beef. We were all disappointed. Tough piece of meat. One of our group had lamb chops and said it was best chop he ever had. One had the filet as said it was just Ok.
- A good restaurantEeeeeeDined on 9/4/2014This restaurant is a great location in relation to the Allstate Arena. Service was good and the food was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service. Good food.FoodFan62Dined on 9/4/2014The service & location was very good. The food was also very good. Excellent steak and sides. A week before I had visited a Ruth Chris' steakhouse which I must say is much better meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- kitchen closed!CanadianfoodieVIPDined on 9/1/2014I arrived for my reservation and the kitchen was closed. Granted it was Labor day, but they should have contacted me or not taken my reservation.
- Tasty SteaksSteakintheOutcomeDined on 8/26/2014Steaks cooked perfect. you won't be dissapointed. Smoking cigarettes and cigars annoyed me. attentive service was excellent, but smile...pleaseSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BlackburnVIPDined on 8/26/2014We sat on the patio on a lovely summer night. It started out wonderfully. Unfortunately we were soon surrounded by 2 cigars and a cigarette. We were unaware that smoking was allowed in the area. Instead of lingering over another drink the four of us practically ran to get out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic good and Servicefoodfan8Dined on 8/26/2014We ate outside. Food was great, service was better. We had a very personable server, which made the outing even more funSpecial Features:
- Vince the waitersleepycreekDined on 8/26/2014We've been to many nice restaurants over the years and happened to be at the Holiday Inn at O'Hare with the Harry Caray's Restaurant on our 36th anniversary. As I've always said, anyone can make a great wine list and menu but it's the server that makes the night. And Vince, the tall waiter, made it a very enjoyable night. Nice NY strip too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very accomodatingCook4meDined on 8/21/2014Not only is the food great, but we found them to be so helpful with shifting our time based on a delayed airport arrival. Then due to our hard-of-hearing friend we asked to move away from the exuberante large group and they did. The waitress (Shelly) helped and moved with us. Both she and the maitre'd were wonderful. Loved the location near O'Hare. They turned the stressful airport pick up a relaxing, happy time with friends!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ok but an expense account stopTanoburbDined on 8/18/2014Nice summer patio shaded by trees. Very expensive place just to meet your friends. Service was adequate but not really pleasant. Had salads, decent but overpriced. Recommend if you are a business traveler.Special Features:
- Allergies while diningDrDennyVIPDined on 8/17/2014My wife is allergic to wheat, dairy and eggs. They were very accommodating, and actually used separate instruments and cooking oils to prepare her meal, which was excellent.Special Features:
- Had better experiencesBrianEatsDined on 8/16/2014I have had better experiences at this location. There were lapses in service and the food was just OK. The fried calamari app was over cooked and tasted like old oil. The dipping sauce was unremarkable. The $32 filet should have been perfect, but it had chewy parts. The creamed spinach was great.Special Features:
- Memorable mealpickyeaterDined on 8/16/2014We found the service to be exceptional. Our server clearly cared about our experience and took pride in his work. he offered suggestions on the menu which we accepted and found the food to be out of this world. Perhaps one of the best steaks I have eaten outside of my own home. The vegetables were the best I have ever had in a restaurant, cooked to perfection and uniquely seasoned. We had the Kale salad, the garlic spinach and the brussel sprouts. Superb.Special Features:
- Delicious!OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/16/2014We had a great dining experience all around. We were going to a concert at the Allstate Arena and they were diligent about getting us our food so that we would be out on time. And the quality of the food did not suffer one iota!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very disappointing!!ladydiDined on 8/16/2014We have been to this restaurant many times before when we go to concerts at the Allstate arena. This time we were not satisfied. The service was very good but the food was terrible. The halibut was not fresh, over cooked and a very small portion. The filet was not worth the price it tasted like a jewel steak. The manager was kind enough to credit the amount for the fish and we were very grateful. We will not go back to this restaurant before a concert again!Special Features:
- notpickyVIPDined on 8/16/2014Wonderful food--best lamb chops on the planet with great serviceSpecial Features:
- Excellent experienceAndyVIPDined on 8/16/2014My wife and I enjoyed a great early meal before going to the Allstate Arena for a concert. Our waiter was very aware of the "concert" crowd and service was fast without being rushed. The food was excellent.Special Features:
- Wonderful Dinner experienceCromforderDined on 8/15/2014We stayed at Holiday Inn - Rosemont for 1 night and went to Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse - Rosemont for dinner. Great service, high quality food (a bit expensive, but acceptable).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A bit disappointingLeslieVIPDined on 8/15/2014Having been to this Harry Caray's several times before, we were disappointed this time. First of all, after I made a reservation, we were seated next to the kitchen, which was noisy. So they graciously moved us into a smaller room but the party already in there were loud. Needless to say, the meal went downhill from there. Server was terrific. Not the most memorable birthday dinner.Special Features:
- Nice Family LunchBuddyBradDined on 8/15/2014We sat outside and had a very nice lunch. The service was very good and everyone enjoyed their meal. It isn't inexpensive, but a nice place every so often.Special Features:
- Great place for a business dinnerJC5101Dined on 7/31/2014This location is conveniently located due to its proximity to O'Hare for out of town guests and the access to the highways. The food was great. The menu is diverse to satisfy all foodies.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great For Business MeetingsDoddDined on 7/22/2014I have brought business associates here for lunch meetings on a few occasions now and it never fails to please. Great food and service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent outdoor dining spotTravelsalotDined on 7/18/2014If the weather is nice and you want something close to your airport hotel, go eat outside at Harry Caray"s!! Food was delicious....crab cake was excellent. Even my friend who was on a cleanse could find something to satisfy her. Friendly service. Would definitely go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EDNurseDined on 7/10/2014Excellent food and service. Easy reservations. Seated immediately.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beyond DisappointingCUGRADDined on 7/10/2014The Rosemont, IL Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse has gone done hill in both ambiance and food quality. Appetizers had the look of those purchased in bulk at Costco and the $50.00 a la carte steak was nothing short of grocery store quality. If you have a choice in the area, go to Gibson's as it blows this place away.Special Features:
- Always greatAjeeVIPDined on 7/5/2014My friend and I love to eat here because the food is great and always consistent. This time they were amazing. My friend eats her steak well done and I medium rare and we wanted to share. They actually cut a piece off the rib eye we ordered and cook it to both temps. We will never go anywhere for steak but HC!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire slayer
Despite the fact that "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" makes some bold claims about the "real" life of our 16th president, author and screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith took painstaking effort to make sure the film was as historically accurate as possible.
Well, except for the parts with the fangs.
"In the opening of the movie, there's a quote that says 'History prefers legends to men,'" Grahame-Smith explains to Metro World News. "That's the truth: We've made Lincoln a legend, and we forgot that he was also a man. This film deals much more with the man of Lincoln than the myth or the legend."
While the movie's title "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is certainly absurd, the cast and crew of the film insist that the jokes end there. Instead of turning the project into a spoof of our U.S. history, the film emphasizes the flaws that made Lincoln such a great humanitarian.
Producer Tim Burton and director Timur Bekmambetov ("Wanted") use the backdrop of the Civil War to weave an action-filled tale about how one poor individual with a life full of tragedy could become one of America's most respected men. Bekmambetov explains foremost this movie is about the boy who would become Lincoln and the personal motivations that led him to change the course of history. In a way, the director points out, it's not just a historically-based film — it's a superhero movie.
"It's not about vampires," Bekmambetov says. "This is the most important part: When you see a young boy, and suddenly he becomes Lincoln and emotionally you understand it."
Grahame-Smith agrees.
"The cool thing about having a Russian director make this movie was that he didn't bring in any of that sort of emotional baggage to it," Grahame-Smith says. "He was able to approach Lincoln as a man before a myth."
In keeping with being as accurate as possible, the team decided to shoot the film in 3-D because of actual 3-D photos from the Civil War era they had uncovered from their research. Bekmambetov saw it as a way to bring people in the middle of all the action.
"Based on those photographs, it just seems completely obvious and the right tool for this particular production. It brings you there," Burton explains.
But, it's hard to deny that Lincoln's ax-wielding skills and ability to slice off people's heads with one blow are what drew people's attention in the first place. It's the element of the fantastical that changes this regular history lesson into something a bit more interesting.
"Nobody has made this kind of movie before," Bekmambetov claims. "There's no way the audience can say, 'No, I saw this many times.' No, we don't have this problem."

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
At least two people were injured after a stabbing overnight at the University of Toledo involving a group of men.
The stabbing happened around 3 a.m. outside the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity building at McComas Village. Campus police say about a half dozen men started fighting at an off-campus bar and somehow ended up outside the fraternity building, where at least one pulled out a knife. They say it involved students and non-students, but none of them are members of the fraternity.
"We looked outside and then we saw all the cops, and we had no idea what was going on. And all of a sudden, people started coming in," said Brandon Romer.
Both were taken to the hospital. Halka was taken with non-life-threatening injuries. Hudson was taken just to be examined.
According to police, when Hudson tried to drive away from the scene, a police chase ensued. However, he was apprehended and is currently in custody.
Drugs and alcohol are believed to be a factor in the stabbing, which is still under investigation.
"What would have been a drunken fight turned out to be a little bit more serious because somebody had a knife and mixed alcohol and a weapon," said UT Police Chief Jeff Newton.
Court documents say Hudson is facing charges of felonious assault, resisting arrest for sending officers on a chase, and failure to comply. He is due in court Monday morning.
According to a campus e-mail alert sent to students, police are not looking for more suspects at this time. However, police on the scene said there is a possibility of more arrests.
The University of Toledo says Hudson is a freshmen student at the school.

With its new GridOS and no buttons, the Grid 4 looks to forge a third way between iOS and Android phones. Does it have what it takes?
Fusion Garage has stopped masquerading as 'TabCo' and announced the Grid10, a 10.1-inch tablet running a slightly confusing looking OS called GridOS.
The company behind the JooJoo and Grid 10 tablets has seemingly called it a day, closing its website, with its PR company quitting.
Available for sale in the U.S. and the U.K., the tablet has had its originally announced price trimmed by $200. The company is offering the 16GB Wi-Fi version for $299.
The Fusion Garage Grid10 has a unique interface that is ultimately the major barrier to enjoying using the tablet. Bad performance and low-quality components don't help.

The Edmonton Oilers announced the signing of Mark Arcobello this afternoon. Arcobello is a real success story since turning pro, and this season pushed through to his NHL debut. The Oilers have been hesitant to sign rfa's this spring, so the Arco signing is a pleasant surprise.
Arcobello outhit his RE by a mile (here) and posted some truly impressive numbers. Among them are his boxcars (74, 22-46-68), shots on goal (236, 3rd in AHL). The ideal slot for him would be 1line C in OKC, but I'd suggest Arcobello is also the likely first callup from the Barons as things sit currently. He would certainly be a better choice for 5C at the NHL level than Anton Lander, and with MacT likely sending out Horcoff and Belanger–while bringing in two replacement C's to play behind Nuge and Gagner–Arcobello is closer to the NHL today than he was a year ago.
He turns 25 in August, plenty of time to have an NHL career.

GMS Special Edition Bass DrumGMS Special Edition bass drums are made of select 8-ply North American maple with no gradation in the thickness of the shell as the diameter gets larger. GMS decided the thicker shells give the best performance, providing good vibrations in all dynamic situations with little to no distortion or necessity for reinforcement hoops which can cause problems with resonance. The shells they came up with are thin enough to give you wide tonal ranges, strong enough to not need reinforcement hoops, but not so thick that it raises the frequency to a higher pitch. Another unique aspect of their construction is the staggering in the seam construction so none of the ply seams line up one each other. This cross-laminating process creates an even sturdier product.GMS Drum Co. is known for creating ingenious, yet functional products for drummers. They're one of the more innovative drum companies in the market.Knowing many drummers prefer the split-lug look and to see more of the shell's finish, they developed the "SE" (Special Edition) lug. Despite its very small footprint, it provides the same musical quality and resonance of its larger predecessor, the "Grand Master lug". It also has the same swivel nut as the "GM" lug, but diverts shell stress, by tensioning from the bottom of the lug casing, as opposed to the top. This makes it visually appealing while also contributing to the quality of these Special Edition bass drum sound. They also feature the Evans EQ system.GMS bearing edges utilize a 45-degree cut on the inside of the shell and a shallow 45-degree counter cut on the outside, a graduated bearing edge around the set. In essence, the edges are sharper on smaller-diameter toms and get rounder as the diameter gets larger. This exclusive process enhances the drums' attack and sustain, while offering larger drums more low end and punch. As you can see in the pictures, these aren't just well-built drums, but visual beauties as well. To get there, they go through an intense process that starts with hand sanding of the raw shell to give the paint a better surface to which to adhere. They're then primed with a clear primer. They get sanded again until they are flat and even and ready for the paint. After they dry for 10-14 days, they are sanded with no fewer than 6 grades of sandpaper. As soon as they are deemed smooth as glass, they are sent to be buffed by two grades of imported European compounds. The end result is an unmatched mirror-like finish.Add some high-end boom to your kit, with a GMS Special Edition bass drum. It'll give you a kick like no other.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!

Living in a Retiro holiday apartment during a holiday in Spain is as close to fantasy as reality can get. Retiro is a striking neighbourhood in the southeast area of Madrid. This district is home to one of Madrid's most popular parks – the Retiro Park, also known as Parque del Retiro. It is one of the more traditional and laid-back neighbourhoods in Madrid. Those renting a holiday flat or apartment in Retiro will be sure to have quick access to the city centre and will have the added advantage of being close to one of the busiest parks in the city, while enjoying a less costly-accommodation compared to that in the centre of Madrid. Apart from large holiday apartments in Retiro, backpacking tourists will also find affordable accommodation studios; there's something for everyone.
-The Retiro Park: The park was originally created as a royal park in the Real Sitio del Buen Retiro Palace. Retiro stands for retreat, hence the name of the park and palace. It was opened to the public in 1868, and has since become a part of Madrid. In the park tourists will find two museums – an army museum known as Museo del Ejército and Casón del Buen Retiro, a museum with a collection of 19th and 20th century paintings, including works by Joaquín Sorolla. There's also a lake in the park called the Estanque del Retiro – where boat-riding is a popular weekend activity – a glass building known as the Palacio de Cristal and a rose garden called the Rosaleda.
-Museo del Ejercito: It is an army museum that cover's Spain's military history. It houses various military artefacts and aims to give a description of the history of Spain's armed forces. The museum's collection includes 18,000 items from Spain's military past, the most important being the sword (La Tizona) used by El Cid to expel the Arabs from Spain. Tourists booked in Retiro holiday apartments, especially those interested in military history will relish their time here.
-The Puerta de Alcalá: This monumental building is located in the Plaza de la Independencia in Madrid, near the city centre. It was designed by the Italian architect Francisco Sabatini; however, the six ornamental statues that embellish the top of the gate were the work of sculpture artists, Francisco Gutiérrez and Roberto Michel. Its construction was completed in 1769 and its official inauguration was held in 1778. The plaque at the gate's highest point that reads: 'REGE CARLO III ANNO MDCCLXXVIII' honours the date of the gate's inauguration by King Carlos III.
-Paseo de la Argentina: It is a road lined with statues that are dedicated to Spanish monarchs. The statues were originally built as decorations for the Royal Palace but King Charles III requested that they be removed from the palace. They were too many statues; some of them remained in the city but some were transported to other provinces. Art lovers among those residing in Retiro holiday homes must stop over here.
Spring and summer are the most popular seasons for tourism in Retiro. This is when the weather is warmest. Visitors are likely to find all corners of the Retiro Park occupied by both locals and tourists – either sun-bathing or being entertained by street musicians, jugglers, fortune tellers and painters on the park grounds.
Retiro is approximately 14 km away from Barajas airport. To get to their Retiro holiday homes from here, holidaymakers can either hire a car, a taxi or the metro – which is the fastest means of transport in Madrid. The nearest metro stops are Retiro and Ibiza. Alternatively, they can take the bus which passes through Retiro several times in a day.

Dental Care for Hunting Dogs
Tip Courtesy of Nationwide
Many hunters and dog owners don't realize just how crucial oral care is for their best friend, or just how deadly dental disease can be. Some simple preventive measures can help extend the life of your hunting dog.
"Dental care is key in maintaining a pet's overall health," says Dr. Cori Gross, a field veterinarian for Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI).
Gross says bacteria in a dog's mouth can get into its bloodstream and infuse different organs, causing infections that can potentially cause death.
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) reports the organs most often affected are the lungs, heart, kidneys and liver, and even the nervous system.
Three Simple Steps to Dental Care:
1. Take your dog to get an annual vet exam, including a careful examination of its teeth and gums.
2. Start an at-home regimen. Ask your vet about a regular teeth brushing schedule and dog food specially formulated to help remove plaque and tarter.
3. Brush Those Teeth. You can buy pet toothpaste at the pet store, or better yet, schedule dental cleanings.
Signs Of Dental Disease
The American Veterinary Dental College lists the following indicators of dental disease in pets:
• Bad breath
• Loose, discolored or tartar-covered teeth
• Your pet is uncomfortable with you touching its mouth area
• Drooling or dropping food
• Bleeding from the mouth
• Loss of appetite or weight loss
Your hunting dog's dental health should be a priority. If it shows any of these signs, you should schedule an appointment with your vet as soon as possible.

Just checked out the JimBob_Dallas fan page on Facebook, and lo and behold, we have fans in over 30 countries in the world, with the largest group (outside the U.S.) coming from, drum roll, GERMANY!
I know a few folks in Germany, mostly from the Heye Agency in Munich. I used to go there from time to time to work on the McDonald's business. The three largest markets at the time were the U.S., the UK and Germany. Since the McDonald's business in the UK was on the Leo Burnett roster, I never worked on it there. I made some great friends at Heye. In fact, it was Heye that created the "I'm Lovin' It" campaign, McDonald's first world-wide marketing idea.
Over the 25 years, I have worked in about 20 countries on various projects, from France on Dannon, the UK on American Airlines, Italy on Barilla pasta, most of the most countries had something to do with McDonalds (Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand), Colgate, Xerox, and Pepsi International. Bob also directed a number of spots in Italy and France, for Barilla and Kraft.
What I learned most about working internationally was that people everywhere are about the same. Sure, there are some nuisances, but overall, not much difference.
For now, JimBob_Dallas says "bienvenidos" to all our 462 Facebook fans (today's count) from around the world.

With over 130 schools and 25,000 student participants throughout the region, Mini-THONs are bringing hope to families in need and creating a legacy of service within their community. During the 2012 – 2013 school year, these elementary, middle and high schools raised over $2.1 million for Four Diamonds.
Mini-THONs are:
- Multi-hour, interactive, fun-filled events that are completely student-led
- Mini-THONs can be a 3 month project or year-long activity where students raise awareness and funds for Four Diamonds
- Mini-THONs inspire teamwork, leadership and creativity while empowering young people through philanthropy and service
- Mini-THONs receive support from Four Diamonds to help make their events successful and meaningful
- Proceeds raised by Mini-THONs go directly to Four Diamonds
Become part of a large and growing community of students focused on one goal—providing hope to children and families battling pediatric cancer!
