Hello everyone! Are you up to an adventure? I am Abby the Monkey, the friend you know from a highly-successful application series by 22learn, and I have prepared one for you! If you want to EXPLORE a strange animal island and LEARN PHONETIC LETTER SOUNDS, you shouldn't wait a minute, and come with me!!!
But first let me tell you a story….
Once upon a time, there was an island, an island of indescribable beauty and magnificence. There found a shelter the animals small and large, slimy and furry, savage and tame—all protected from evil hunters and curious eyes, supplied with food from the bountiful earth. Each year, a special event was held, when one, and only one, person from the whole humankind was selected and transported to the island (blinded, to preserve the island's secrecy) to appreciate its beauty and spread the word about it, so that the island would never be forgotten.
The legend has it, that deep inside the rocky hill on the island, a treasure is kept. Yet, no one knows its secret anymore because the last humankind representative had enraged the animals on the island, and since then, the animals decided never to invite anyone again, and the island got lost in time and space.
All that remains from our knowledge is that through the whole island, a very special train goes. The train has a mind of its own and likes it when the passengers' names start from certain sounds! It is said, that if someone was ever capable to fulfill all the train's wishes, the train would transport the lucky being deep inside the rocks and reveal the island's precious treasure!
But, you are asking, what does all this have to do with me, monkey Abby? Well, imagine what happened to me just recently! I was flying around with my plane when, out of the blue, the storm hit and my plane got lost!
And now, I am on this weird island that looks exactly like the legendary Phonics Island I told you about! Wohoo, how exciting! But I need someone to help me with all the strange tasks the train asks me to do! Do you want to be the one who will help me, and discover the island's treasure together with me?
Thank you for your purchase! We hope your children will enjoy this engaging educational application the same way our enthusiastic beta-testers did!

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
CRECENT CITY — With massive, fossil-fueled vessels ruling today's modern seas, it's humbling to be reminded of the wind-powered tall ships of the past.
South Coast residents will have that chance next week when the tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain, high-masted replicas of past maritime ships, return April 21-28.
As the May 20 primary election nears, Curry County voters puzzling over commissioner and circuit court judge candidates, and the Home Rule Charter ballot measure, may want to attend a series of several public forums that start today and continue through next week.
The Brookings Tea Party will host a county commissioner candidate forum at 2 p.m. today (April 19) at the Chetco Activity Center in Brookings.

State House Bureau
Republicans in the Maine House of Representatives have held to a trend so far this legislative session: They've sustained Gov. Paul LePage's vetoes, even if it has meant defeating measures they've previously supported, in some cases unanimously.
It happened again Wednesday, when House Republicans backed the governor's rejection of a bill that would study how the state addresses the housing needs of developmentally disabled residents.
A legislative committee endorsed it in a unanimous vote. It passed the Legislature without dissent. All 55 Republicans in the House voted for it, but they all flipped to sustain LePage's veto.
As a result, Democrats have attacked their political courage. In a statement, Rep. Drew Gattine, D-Westbrook, said "The flip-flop we just witnessed was disgraceful."
In the past, legislative Republicans have stood up to LePage in veto overrides. Notably, at the end of the 2012 legislative session, the Republican-led Legislature overrode his veto of a teacher-training bill.
The same day lawmakers sustained the governor's vetoes of three other bills, including a research and development bond package. But in the House, 20 Republicans voted to override that proposal.
Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, said he wouldn't question Republicans' courage, but "what you can't question is who's in control of the Maine GOP." LePage is up for reelection next year.
"That serves the governor's interests really well, but you've got to question how it will impact these legislators," Brewer said. "They've got to come up for re-election in 2014, too."
A reporter working for an alternative news site was asked to leave the floor of the House during floor debate on the hospital repayment-Medicaid expansion bill Tuesday. Andi Parkinson of the New Maine Times, a Bath-based alternative news site, was asked to leave by House leadership after House Minority Leader Kenneth Fredette, R-Newport, complained of her presence, according to the news site, which said he cited her past writing for a liberal blog.
House Majority Leader Seth Berry, D-Bowdoinham, and House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick, complied and asked Parkinson to go to the gallery, the site said. But after the vote, Berry and Eves apologized to the New Maine Times. Eves told the site that "clearly this was not our finest hour," assuring that it wouldn't happen again.
The press is part of an exclusive group -- composed mostly of members and staffers -- allowed on the House floor during debate. Jodi Quintero, a spokeswoman for Eves, said the speaker is the one who interprets the House rules.
From now on, she said Eves will allow representatives of most online-only news sites to be on the floor, regardless of their partisan bent.
"We want to err on the side of transparency," Quintero said.
A new candidate declared for the 2014 Maine governor's race earlier this month. His motto? "I'm running for governor, but not really."
The hopeful -- 57-year-old independent Lee Schultheis of Freeport -- is running a particularly tongue-in-cheek campaign for the Blaine House. Schultheis' campaign website says the "but not really" piece "is about realistically not expecting to win, but rather wanting to focus on improving the dialogue of our broken political process."
"His primary focus is not on winning the election," a campaign press release said. "In fact, he's really not looking for your vote next November at all."

JOHNSTOWN - Fulton County supervisors have authorized the county Civil Defense Department to spend more than $55,000 on new haz-mat suits, radios and other emergency-related equipment and services.
Supervisors approved the spending and adjustments to the budget at the full board meeting earlier this month. Grant funds from the state Office of Homeland Security will cover all of the costs.
Civil Defense Coordinator Allan Polmateer indicated $51,165 from a $125,500 hazardous-materials grant awarded in 2011 will cover haz-mat suits, command radios, a weather station, command boards and on-site training for first detectors.
"There won't be another grant we can get that much money off," Polmateer told the supervisors' Public Safety Committee earlier.
From an $81,000 homeland security program grant from 2011, the county OK'ed spending $1,286 on breathing masks and $929 on confined space equipment.
Using a 3-year-old $37,800 animal sheltering grant, the county will purchase a $263 weather radio and spend $3,025 on miscellaneous supplies, such as sawdust for rescued animals, Polmateer told supervisors.
In other action taken at the Board of Supervisors meeting:

SEEMS AS if movie star Robert Mitchum was in Anniston quite a few years before the night in jail I told you about in a recent column.
From Jim Jones, an email, off reading that:
"That tells me Mitchum was in Anniston at least twice. Saw him on Dick Cavett show a number of years ago, around 71-72.
"He told Cavett about being a young man riding the rails. He said he walked away from a prison farm in Georgia, 'Hopped a train, got off in Anniston, Alabama, got the hell beat out of me and thrown back on a train.'"
I did a bit of research and Mitchum, who was born in Bridgeport, Conn., was something of a drifter in his younger years and did, at one point, wind up on a Georgia chain gang.
A couple of quotes from Mitchum on his acting:
"Look, I have two kinds of acting. One on a horse and one off a horse. That's it."
"I got three expressions: looking left, looking right and looking straight ahead."
Oh, one other thing.
If experience counts, those fish are really in trouble. Back on May 1, Retha Palley reached her 100th birthday.
Anyway, put a pot roast in front of me and I'm as happy as that witch in a broom factory.
That means Thursday you're most likely to find me at Chef T's out on U.S. 431 across from Anniston Funeral Home.
That's Pot Roast Day and it's flat-out to die for. I find a booth and order a bowl of pot roast and a cornbread muffin. T's cornbread doesn't match up with mine, but it's passable.
You can thank me later.
"To jump in the river and drown."
If you can name the song and the artists who had the big hit on it, well, you probably qualify for the senior discount on your coffee at Jack's.
Let me know …
"All her lovely companions are faded and gone." —Thomas More
No friends a few days ago, but the listing of Aden Floyd McGatha of Jacksonville and Amare Dion Parker of Anniston got to me bad.
Both were listed as infants.
They are flat-out gorgeous and not a day passes I don't stand at the patio fence and simply drink in their beauty. I also keep three — just three — in a simple vase on our kitchen table.
Today is Mothers Day and roses would be welcome, I'm sure.
I wish I could send my Mom a truckload.
Thanks for visiting …

Yumminess!!!! – I don't care what the rest of these folks say, bu tI have been a patron here for over 20 years and the food is outstanding. I live in Brooklyn and I take 3 trains to get uptown for this food and it is worth the travel every time. The chicken should be a part of the one of the wonders of the world and the peruvian chicken with broccoli in black beans sauce is amazing. You must come here to be consider a real new yorker!!!
Not real Peruvian food – I am from Peru and I can tell you that if you are looking for ceviche mixto, this is not the place to order. I order over the phone and requested ceviche mixto which cost $11. When my food arrived I was very shock to see a small (6") plastic container filled with half onion 2 pieces of lime and 10 pieces of mix seafood.
Should I have expectation on the rest of the menu?
Just my opinion... good luck with your order.
Here is a picture : https://picasaweb.google. com/108467656125051850573/FakePeruvianCeviche?authkey=Gv1sRgCNmm4fqG39r7twE#5604050353516000386
An Hour Late and No Apology – I have had mixed experience with delivery from Flor De Mayo before but thought I'd give them another shot. After 40min without receiving my delivery order I gave a call and was told my order was on it's way. 20min later, I still didn't have my food. When I called back, all I got was an earful of excuses. I understand restaurants get busy, however, not giving any warning that your food will take over an hour to be delivered is unacceptable and without even an apology. If you want to actually eat, I suggest ordering from a different place.
the best food ever – i love this place , the food is great (real good) the people there make fell good the drink are surper good . this place is a good spot to be with friends and fam .
Chicken me silly – It's all about the chicken at this Peruvian restaurant with something of an identity crisis. No matter – the food, based around its delicious rotisserie chicken, known as "pollo de brasa," certainly overcomes that issue. In fact, its not really a problem: the restaurant also offers Chinese, Spanish, and Caribbean cuisine. This might seem like an odd combination, but it works. A wide variety of dishes are available to go with the chicken; I would recommend the fried ripe or green plantains, which compliment the meat in a sweet or savory manner, respectively. They also offer Peruvian, Dominican and other regional beers, an ideal addition to cool you down with any such meal serving hot Latin fare. In addition, the portions are enormous, easily feeding two hungry diners, or yourself for two days. Nearly everything on the menu, especially the specials, like the chicken served in a pot with Peruvian green rice, are very affordable. Best of all, here you can impress your friends – or a date – with your trilingual abilities by speaking to the staff in Chinese, Spanish, and English. Buen Provecho/Enjoy!
chicken was stale, rice was hard and sauce wasn't even spicy. Would not recommend to anyone.maybe next time everything will be fine.
AMAZING! – Flor de Mayo is my new favorite restraunt! This is a good neighborhood spot where the food is delicious and not to mention affordable! The service is very quick and the staff is superb! I definitely recommend this place to everyone!
Best food for your buck! – I am amazed that some people would write bad reviews about this place. First of all this is not fine dining but is a neighborhood spot that does a hell of a job when it comes to cooking great. The service is just as good as any other place. The peruvian dishes are delicious and price accordingly. Being in the food business myself, I can confirm that the prices are cheap and that the cooks do a superb job at their skill level. Of course everything is not done the tradiotional way as one person commented for example the paella and the broiled shrimps were not good along with the service. We must rememver that everyone has their own personal touch in any dish they create. If you want repetition well just walk in to Mcdonalds where food is always the same and if you want fine service then go to Per Se.
We need more places like this one were we can count on the cooks putting the right amount of salt and seasoning on the food or just cooking the rice correctly. I am happy with this place and I am a loyal customer. If you want decent food at a decent price then this is your place!
BEST PERUVIAN FOOD EVER – omg..
i been to this restaurant ever since my MOM was pg of me!!!
this has so many different food dat anyone can choose..
its just the best ii love it and the people are the best

When Someone You Know...
…Might Be Experiencing Depression
What Is Depression?
Depression is a treatable illness (called a "mood disorder") that seriously impacts our overall outlook. It can result from a chemical imbalance or as a response to overwhelming life circumstances. Estimates are that 17 million Americans of all ages and races suffer from untreated depression.
What are the Signs (Symptoms) of Depression?
Does someone you know experience these:
- Persistent, deep feelings of sadness
- Inability to enjoy things, including other people, that used to be enjoyable
- Frequent crying
- Difficulty making decisions
- Lack of motivation and low energy (Getting up and dressed is a nearly overwhelming challenge every day.)
- Can't sleep (or sleep too much)
- Can't eat (or eat too much)
- Lack of interest in much of anything
- Thoughts of, or plans to, kill oneself *
*Also see the Counseling Center brochure on Suicide
Types of Depression
Major Depression - If someone you know consistently experiences many of the symptoms listed above for over two weeks, he/she might have
Major clinical depression.
Dysthymia - Although less severe than Major depression, this is still a serious form of depression. People experience the following symptoms most of the day, nearly every day:
- Low, "down" mood
- Poor appetite or overeating
- Difficulty sleeping, or sleeping a lot
- Low energy or fatigue
- Trouble concentrating or making decisions
Feeling hopeless at times
Bipolar disorder - (Manic-Depressive Disorder) The person alternates between depression (severe "low") and mania (a frantic "high"). Changes in mood can be sudden, but are usually gradual. "Manic" symptoms are these:
- Excessive overconfidence
- Feel little need for sleep
- Excessive talking or feeling of anxiety and pressure to keep talking
- Feeling that mind is "racing"
- Very easily distracted
- Greatly increased and frantic energy and activity, especially in potentially harmful areas (spending sprees, sexual promiscuity, and foolish, grandiose financial decisions or investments).
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) - This depression can be the result of dark, gloomy fall and winter weather. There is a significant incidence of SAD in the Northwest, where we experience long periods of gray, cloudy, sunless days.
Factors in Depression Among College Students
"Traditional" Students (17-20+)
- Career direction confusion
- Identity development
- Values clarification
- Sexuality and intimacy
- Relationship endings
- Parental divorce
- Death of friends, family
"Non-Traditional" (returning adult) students
- Career, financial, and life changes
- Family and relationship issues
- Stress over returning to school
- Time management challenges
Other issues for both
- Gender-related issues, cultural issues, culture shock
- Direct and indirect victims of on-campus or off-campus violence
- Sexual orientation, harassment
- Substance abuse (often self-medicating in attempt to reduce stressful or manic feelings, but alcohol and many other drugs are depressants themselves.)
- HIV +/AIDS status
- Abuse issues: physical, sexual, emotional, verbal
- Suicide of friends/family members
What can I do to help someone I know —or even myself?
Here are some action steps to combat depression. Depression is a treatable illness!
- See a Medical doctor: Find out if physical problems are affecting your mood (hormone imbalance, thyroid problems, PMS or peri-menopause, sleep disorders, other chemical imbalances). Antidepressant medications can be very helpful, particularly when combined with counseling or therapy.
- Visit or call the Edmonds CC Counseling Center to make an appointment for short-term counseling with a professional counselor, who can help by listening, offering feedback, exploring options, and providing referrals to resources
- Make an appointment with community mental health providers (such as Compass Health
- Consult Naturopaths/Homeopaths, Nutritionists, who work with natural remedies
- Other alternative health therapies; such as acupuncture, acupressure, massage, etc. Natural herbs/vitamins might be helpful, but work with an expert for correct dosage and to avoid possible harmful drug interactions
Some Self-Help Approaches
Add these to the above suggestions, or use them to cope with mild depression (or a bad mood or a lousy day!) Be aware that people with serious clinical depression might find the following difficult to do. Take one small step at a time & be patient.
- Exercise: work out, walk, do Yoga, martial arts, swimming, stretching, aerobics
- Talk with an understanding friend or friends
- Don't expect perfection! Have realistic goals and expectations.
- Take a break: meditate, pray, relax, rest
- Treat yourself to an inexpensive, sweet treat or small indulgence
- Cuddle a pet or stuffed animal
- Try to avoid taking on new, non-essential projects that will add more stress
- Try to get a full night's sleep, or take naps
- Create and use affirmations: short, positive phrases describing how you want to feel
- Eat or drink something nutritious
- Listen to upbeat, positive, inspiring music
- Take a long, warm bubble bath
- Get into nature: ocean, forests, mountains

The Rise of China and the Global Future of the U.S.
The United States will no longer be a superpower, but instead will share power with rising nations like China.
According to the National Intelligence Council, the global balance of power will shift significantly by 2030. China will likely become the largest economy in the world. Asia will surpass Europe and North America in population size, GDP, military spending, and technological investment. With the coming diffusion of power, the United States is expected to become "first among equals," rather than a superpower. Jonathan Moyer, interim associate director at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for International Futures at the University of Denver, provided some of the forecasts behind the NIC's Global Trends 2030 report. Moyer recently spoke to U.S. News about the implications of the coming power shifts and how they might influence U.S. policy. Excerpts:
How is the understanding of power and influence changing?
Back in the day they would measure the relative capabilities of countries that would include things like iron and steel production, the size of the urban population, the size of the standing army. For the post-World War II era, they included things like income and overall GDP. Today, technology is a hugely important determinant of power. And it's not just having a really smart piece of hardware and software, you have to also have really well-trained people to use it.
[Check out U.S. News Weekly, an insider's guide to politics and policy.]
Why are technological shifts favoring the East?
Take what China's been able to do for the past 15 years. They opened up U.S. factories, started adopting U.S. technologies, and there's this massive leapfrogging that happens, where they don't have to go through the process of developing all these technologies on their own. They're able to leverage what other countries build.
Is the decline of the West inevitable?
It's the relative material rise of the East that's inevitable. I don't know if it's a decline of the West. Material power is only one component of what it means to be an active and important player in the international system.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
What will be the role of the United States, as "first among equals"?
[The United States] is certainly going to have to give more. Power is going to increasingly become focused on networks of allies around certain issue areas. So if you want to do something with global agriculture, there are certain key players to focus on, like Brazil. If you want to do something with global trade, there are other key networks of allies. So the important thing for the [U.S. leaders] is to move forward thinking about forming these strategic alliances, which they've already been doing. But these alliance networks are going to be much more important in 15, 20, 30 years.
[See 2012: The Year in Cartoons.]
How much will international organizations change culturally?
China is going to be the most materially powerful country in the world, but it'll still have to deal with the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO, all the other western institutions that have western values totally embedded within them. Classic liberal values of trade and cosmopolitanism and stuff like that. The rise of China just looks like China's becoming more western. It's not this contentious rise, it doesn't need to be.
How can these forecasts inform policy?
What the report does is it lays a foundation for [President] Obama to come in and say, here's the long-term context we're operating within and let's make our choices. These major transitions have a lot of inertia. You're not going to turn around global aging in the West, you're not going to turn around slow growth rates in Europe and Japan and the [United States]. Understanding that context, you can move the lines up and down based on your decision-making today.

Asda leads the way as supermarkets cut fuel prices by 2p a litre
Three supermarkets - so far - have announced cuts to the price of petrol and diesel at their pumps.
The supermarket petrol pump price war has kicked off once again.
Asda led the way by announcing it was cutting the price of petrol by 2p a litre from Thursday, taking it down to 131.7p a litre. It's also cutting the price of diesel by 2p, meaning motorists will pay no more than 137.7p.
It was followed by Sainsbury's and Morrisons announcing cuts of up to 2p at their own pumps.
The cuts follow last week's move by four supermarkets to cut only petrol prices, as we covered in Supermarkets in petrol price war again.
To make sure you're paying as little as possible for your petrol, read How to find the cheapest diesel and petrol prices.

Peroni brewery fire
On Friday 25 July 2008, a fire broke out at Peroni's Bari brewery in southern Italy at 10.15am. Everyone on the premises was immediately evacuated and this potentially disastrous event was swiftly dealt with. Very soon after the start of the fire, an internal communication confirmed that all staff members were safe.
Disaster was averted by effective procedures and the prompt actions of the staff. The contribution of Bari employees was recognised when the restored areas were reopened. Part of the inauguration was a presentation of awards to allow the company to express its gratitude to its employees and the local community. Commemorative plaques were given to four employees who particularly distinguished themselves by their courageous response. The inauguration was timed to coincide with the Italy vs Ireland football match in Bari to which all 150 employees were invited.

While it remains unclear who the men were, context clues from two witnesses to the altercation indicated that the fracas, which featured at least one kick, a handful of wild haymakers and intervention from both a local sheriff and hotel security, happened after one player agent accused another of trying to poach a client.
Stay the [expletive] away from my guy!" one man yelled, according to witnesses who described the chaotic – and amusing – scene to Yahoo Sports in exchange for anonymity.
One of the witnesses had pulled into a parking spot at the Dolphin and exited his car to the sound of words being exchanged. A family member suggested he take out his phone and record the incident, and what came of it is a 22-second snippet of a fight that the other witness believes lasted twice as long.
There was lots of yelling and pushing, including the angrier man upping the ante significantly when he said, according to the witnesses, "I'm gonna burn your [expletive] house down!" One of the men, said the witness recording the video, seemed to be apologizing – and then threw a punch to restart the fracas. The video, with the two men fighting in the distance, shows some scrapping, one man throwing a kick and the other winding up for a punch a la Super Macho Man in Mike Tyson's Punchout.

Since people seem to be perfectly willing to pay a bundle of money to a real estate agent, or in this case, to yourself, going out for estimates may be part off the territory. Probably, the customer is not trying to get 6 low ball estimates on a 1/2 day job. So to answer the question, some plumbers will quote a flat rate on the phone for "X" like replace water heater, replace PRV, install toilet. etc. I get the impression from the posts that most of our guys will not go out to your house to esimtate these types of jobs. Want to remodel a bathroom....that is worth a quote.
Let's here what the others have to say.
