Black bear invades Wayne County neighborhood, snacks on bird seed
DOYLESTOWN, Ohio - A black bear made a Wayne County neighborhood his home for the night.
Friday at about 9 p.m., Doylestown police said neighbors reported seeing the bear on Homan Drive.
Police said the black bear made its way into the area, ate some bird seed and was just hanging out in the area.
The bear was spotted again by Doylestown police early Saturday morning, and then around 10 a.m. a resident spotted the bear on Kepler Road in New Franklin and shared the picture with NewsChannel 5.
No injuries or damage have been reported.
Officers are in the area trying to assess the situation.
There's no word yet if this is the same black bear spotted in other northeast Ohio communities – Bath Township, Stow, Cuyahoga Falls Wickliffe and Willoughby.
If you see the black bear, you should call police. If you happen to catch a photo of it (we strongly caution you to not put yourself in danger to take a photo), email it to us at firstname.lastname@example.com

The revolution in the life sciences has been progressing for several decades. But it has now moved into a new phase. New opportunities and challenges are emerging, and these warrant the close attention of the international community.
Developments in biology, information technology, and the physical and engineering sciences are now coming together to spawn new inter-disciplinary areas in the life sciences. Almost limitless possibilities for new applications of biotechnology in health, agriculture, energy, industry, and the environment are opening up, but there are also new safety, security and ethical concerns.
It is on this basis that a new Biotechnology Initiative has been developed at the UN Secretariat. The programme is coordinated by the Strategic Planning Unit of the Executive Office of the Secretary-General.
These web pages aim to provide information to a global audience about the work of the Biotechnology Initiative, and also give objective summaries of the various technologies, their applications in key sectors, and the policy and ethical issues that relate to them.

Players Choice Awards
The Players Choice Awards are annual Major League Baseball awards, given by the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA).
The Players Choice Awards are given following a secret ballot by players.[1][2] Four awards go to a player in each league, while two awards each go to one player in all of Major League Baseball. Prize money is donated to a charity of each winner's choice.[3]
The first Players Choice Awards were given in 1992, to the Comeback Player in each of the two major leagues. There were no other awards that year. In 1993, the Comeback Player awards were replaced by an Outstanding Player award for each league. Then, in 1994, two more categories were added: Outstanding Pitcher (in each league) and Outstanding Rookie (in each league).
In 1997, the dual Comeback Player awards were again named, along with the first ever single award — the Man of the Year — for one player in all of Major League Baseball. In 1998, a second non-dual award was added, Player of the Year. In addition, the Man of the Year award was renamed in honor of Marvin Miller, former executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association. Besides, in 1999 a special Player of the Decade award was given.
Since 2015, the Always Game award is given to the player who – game in and game out – constantly exhibits positive energy, grit, tenacity, hustle, perseverance, relentlessness and sportsmanship; all for the benefit of his teammates and fans.[4]

Very nice pool. Rooms are fair. Some little bugs in the room, the toilet doesn't flush well, and a chair broke when I sat in it. Internet was intermittent. Actually slept well though, as bed was comfortable. Can't really recommend however.

Historical Traveler Reviews Aggie Grey's Lagoon, Beach Resort & Spa Apia
Aggie Greys Beach Resort - DON'T GO
Much to say that is negative.
Accomodation OK, staff not fully trained, food pretty awfull overall, adjoins noisy airport, good pool but man made beach. Beach is strewn with rocks and mud. So if you want to snorkel/swim find another place.
Furthermore if you want to eat well and safely go somewhere else.
An example of the standard of food - one lunch we ordered a toasted andwich with salad and french fries off the Chef's set lunch menu for the day. What we got was a plate with chips and the so called toasted sandwich. This comprised 3 slices of dry toasted bread with a sliver of ham between the bottom and middle slices and a piace of lettuce and a slice of cucumber between the middle and top slices.
Buffet menus varied between OK and disgusting. Avoid the Mongolian Barbeque theme night whatever you do. Breakfasts OK but you do get sick of lukewarm bacon and sausages and cold hard poached eggs. Fresh Island fruits often unripened or disintegrating. 'Samoan' squeezed orange juice was junk Fresh Up from NZ
Difficult to sum up except to say if you enjoy good food, like to swim in tropical waters and explore the surrounds then don't bother to go. If you like eating rubbishy food, enjoy swimming in a pool and just lying around then it will suit you fine.
Awesome Samoan Holiday
The new Aggie Greys resort was great, we had great food and the service from the young staff was great, friendly and very courteous to us. We found the pool to be lovely and the facilities to be excellent, the spa was sublime and very classy!
Apart from bery little shade at the Resort we would highly recommend it to our freinds and go back once the golf course was up and running!
Thanks guys, we had a great time!
A place to avoid at all cost
A disaster from the start. Before we got there our agent had problems with the phone unobtainable for 2 days in a row. When we disembarked at the airport nobody to greet us in spite of our having a transfer voucher. So we got a taxi instead.
When we got to the hotel we found we were booked in a downstairs room instead of upstairs as we had requested and had been confirmed. The rooms are to a good standard and the maids do an excellent job BUT
Be clear there is no usable beach - just rocks and mud with a little sand which has been deposited to create a beach but is mostly now washed away. The pool area had about 20 loungers and there were none elsewhere.
The food varied from reasonable to mediocre to atrocious. The waiting staff were totally unprofessional.
My wife noticed a deposit in her cup just as the waiter was about to pour coffee. She pointed this out to the waiter who then carefully picked up the cup and wiped the interior with his thumb leaving a great greasy mark. He was about to pour the coffee into the 'cleaned' cup when my wife said she would prefer a new one. He carefully picked one up from another table then replaced it with the 'cleaned' cup.
Breakfast was supposed to start at 6:30 am but on several occasions it did not start until 20 minutes or so later. On other occasions not all food was laid out. Worst of all, however, I saw hot food taken in from around 6:00 onwards whence it was set out in unheated trays and so became cold by the time the restaurant opened. Cold poached eggs for breakfast anyone!?
Worst of the many Monty Pythonesque performances of the waiting staff was that of one waiter who snuffled, sniffed and occasionally sneezed over you when he would insist on unfolding your napkin when you sat down, then on folding it up again when you got up for the next course, then ...etc ...etc. I'm sure he was the on that gave me the cold that I arrived home to.
The front office staff often tried to hide themselves away in their office thus avoiding any conflict arising from cancelled trips and the like which continually happened.
The Hotel only provides a shuttle to Apia 4 days a week and there is no car hire on site.
All in all a great disappointment. I could have forgiven all if there had been a beach. Perhaps it should be renamed Aggie Grey's Airport Inn!
Nice service with friendly smiles
Nice place. Especially liked the church service. Staff were always warm and willing to assist.
Rooms were very comfortable, probably because the place is only new. No complaints.
Great service
We stayed there 2 weeks ago and were very impressed with the friendliness of the staff. They were always there to assist, gave us friendly smiles and so forth.
The rooms obviously were very clean as they are brand new.
I've read quite a few bad reports on this hotel, but we didn't experience any of this. Keep up the good work Aggies!
We Loved Samoa
we stayed at the new 7 week old resort in auguts and felt the EFFORT by the young staff and managemnt put places like coconuts and sinalei to shame, they were always in your face trying and trying, in fact over kill of service but we loved the new Resort,the views, the blue lagoon, happy staff and not to mention the spa, has to be the best we have ever seen and we have travelled, keep up the good work at the new resort, every week these guys get better and better and in 6 months theyll be competeing with the big boys in fiji
did not like oconuts and sianlei, one was unfriendly, the other had no smiles at all and poorly trained staff
good luck samoa!!!!!!!
Do Not GO
Aggie Grey's lagoon resort is brand new. In the opinion of most of the guests, it should not yet be open. The staff were untrained and really struggling with very long hours.- obviously not their fault. The rooms were nice.
The resort is on a man made beach and there is an obvious problem with sand moving away from the beach.
BUT the worst thing was the food - absolutely atrocious. If you have paid for a package deal with food included, then my advice is DO NOT GO! Management treated guests with contempt with the food on offer. Recycled salads, spagetti without any sauce, frozen fish fingers, frozen ham sandwiches - really inedible. This was not just my opinion. Most of the guests at the end of 7 days were laughing - there was not much else to do.
Samoa is beautiful, the people are great. Just don't go to this resort. There are several we visited (mainly to have a good meal) - Coconuts and Sinalei are beautiful and the food at Coconuts was fantastic.
The new Aggie Grey's
We have just returned from a week at the new Aggie Grey Lagoon Resort on Upolu, Samoa. It opened quietly in July 2005 and has a long way to go to achieve completion. The rooms all indeed have a sea view but look as though they have been built in a hurry with little attention to finishing details (new accommodation blocks are still under construction and the golfcourse site is barely evident). I would recommend staying in block 3 (which is next to the main dining fale), otherwise you could end up next to a noisy construction site or at the far end of the resort. The minibar fridge contains complimentary water only, so remember to take all your duty free plus wine glasses etc as there are none in the room. The lagoon is manmade and as a result is squelchy underfoot and cloudy in appearance - not at all like the promotional photos of the resort. I recommend the pool as an alternative. There were endless admin systems problems with rooms being booked out twice/conflicting information being provided by front desk staff/problems with the rooms etc. but apart from these gripes, the general feeling was that they are working hard to please. Families in particular are well catered for. Food was standard buffet fare with very little traditional samoan influence which was a disappointment, and there is no umu. When we queried this, they said they were prioritising other aspects of the resort development. It is located just near the Savii'i ferry terminal for Savii'i so handy for day trips and of course just next to the airport landing strip. Suprisingly airport noise was not a problem. We would probably visit again but treat it as a gateway hotel before moving off to other, more beautiful and authentic parts of Samoa.
Give Aggie's Beach Resort a go
We stayed at Aggie's new beach resort the first week in August. There are TWO Aggie Grey hotels - one in Apia, the other near the airport. The airport one is Samoa's attempt to get into the Fiji-style resort market and for a poor country like Samoa is an attempt that should be supported by all good-willed people.
Aggie's Beach Resort has just opened and obviously has had some early problems. As part of the deal for building on the site, local village young people are employed and we felt as if we were assisting with work experience for the new staff. But they were so friendly and so much wanting to make it all happen; we enjoyed helping them to understand what needed to be done and having a laugh about it ourselves. Loosen up, you folk who can't enjoy a bit of Polynesian Fawlty Towers all in a good cause.
They finally had the gym up and working, and the spa, and the swim up bar will be ready soon. The deal was fabulous - all inclusive tours, beaut new water sports equipment, fia fia night (a total knockout performance), all meals (we thought the food was fine - no fish fingers, pig from the uma oven, lots to eat and plenty of choice - didn't notice too many people with unladen plates either!). Rooms of good quality all had water views (not yet obscured by coconuts), and the turquoise waters from the restaurant fale made a tropical paradise. Thanks Aggies, we enjoyed it, and when you have sorted out the little hitches you will have a great resort - yes it's near the airport but there are about four planes a day, so who cares?
Aggie's was great!
we thought aggie's was great. everyone was very friendly. the rooms were very clean,the showeres were great, had a little bench in it, very roomy, the food was great. it was very nice to have a gym, as running in the humidity isn't fun! the gym was clean and had air conditioning. the only piece of equipment that didn't work was the stair climber. the sunsets are beautiful. we thought the new part in the front was nicer. some guest said their room smelled musty. central to everything walking distance. getting around was easy and the streets signs were posted well within site. i would reccommend it.

This Blog is a Children's Book Week Champion.
May 2 – 8, 2016
Established in 1919, Children's Book Week is the longest-running national literacy initiative in the country. Every year, commemorative events are held nationwide at schools, libraries, bookstores, homes — wherever young readers and books connect!
Children's Book Week is administered by Every Child A Reader, a 501(c)(3) literacy organization dedicated to instilling a lifelong love of reading in children. The Children's Book Council, the national non-profit trade association for children's book publishers, is an anchor sponsor. Find out more about it here:
Life is a journey fraught with distractions, detours, and setbacks. Sometimes we can hardly imagine where we're going, hardly remember where we've been. This blog is my place to share the bright bits I've found on my journey.
A life of reading and looking at art has helped me cultivate a sense of wonder. Here's where I offer many reviews of illustrated and art books for all ages, including lots of children's books (where some of our best artists are working.) I focus on books that belong in print — that you can hold in your hands, flip through, and return to again and again.
I love going to art galleries and also finding art in unexpected places. I share links of interesting websites I've found.
I share insights from my lifelong writing and drawing practice which has helped me get a handle on my slippery identity.
This is also my place to share my musings on living in the intentional community Bridge Meadows, a multi-generational community in Portland, Oregon, that helps families adopt children out of the foster care system.
So, welcome.
Your insights and stories are part of this conversation. Please feel free to join in.

Grab your share of £2.5bn investment pot, says Business Growth FundComments Email
The Business Growth Fund (BGF), which claims to be the largest long-term equity investment company in the UK, is marking its first anniversary with a call to domestic plastics companies looking for growth funds to 'get in touch'.
Created by a number of the UK's leading banks last May in the wake of a report on business funding commissioned by the Labour government, the BGF is looking to invest anywhere between £2m and £10m in high-growth SMEs, said business director Mark Bryant in an interview with PRW.
Bryant, who had worked in manufacturing for 30 years prior to joining the BGF – including a stint running Suffolk-based packaging outfit M&H Plastics – said the fund was looking to plug a gap in the equity market and was working with a variety of trade bodies, including the British Plastics Federation, to highlight its offer.
"We have a total fund of £2.5bn to invest in growth companies which have gone beyond the start-up stage and are at the point of looking for more financial support to realise their potential," he added.
The fund has made seven investments in its first year, including monies to a software firm, a corporate travel company and a toy manufacturer.
Bryant said the BGF had seen "half a dozen" plastics companies in the UK, but had yet to lend to a company in the sector.
Suitable firms for investment were those with annual sales of between £5m and £100m, said Bryant, "plus a good management team in place; a core product that differentiated itself from the rest of the market and which wasn't fighting on price. And a business that we can be confident will grow".
The process to secure investment lasts between three and four months and the fund requires a minority stake in the business of anywhere between 10% and 40% in return for its financial support.
Unlike traditional private equity investors the BGF was "a long-term lender", said Bryant.
And while it would not seek to control a company it had invested in, Bryant said it would require that two members of the BGF team sit on a firm's board, including a non-executive chairman.
"Someone of that level of experience can add a lot of value to a company and can help accelerate the existing management's ambition for the business," he added.
The BGF had yet to invest in a plastics company and Bryant admitted that manufacturers tended to be more cautious about looking to the fund for resources.
"Some are focused on running their businesses day-to-day, while others might be suspicious [of our motives]," he said. "Some people don't like the idea of giving up some of their equity in a business.
"But ask a company owner what they would do if they had millions of spare cash sitting on their books and you can seem them recalibrating their ambition.
"There is an 'energy change' and they remember what it was that drove them to create the business in the first place," said Bryant.
The BGF invests off its own balance sheet and while it will fund capital equipment purchases it stops short of backing buyouts.
"We are interested in funding businesses that need to grow in other areas, such as sales and marketing or other ways to grow the business, such as looking at an acquisition," he added.
"We are ideal for those that have a 'big picture' view and who fit our criteria, but we're not going to be right for everybody," he added.

Covering this past weekend's anti-war rally in Washington D.C. the nation's paper of record reported that "thousands of protesters marched through Washington's streets" and that "fewer people attended than organizers had said they hoped for." That was on Sunday.
Today, three days later, the paper reports: "The demonstration on Saturday in Washington drew 100,000 by police estimates and 200,000 by organizers', forming a two-mile wall of marchers around the White House. The turnout startled even organizers, who had taken out permits for 20,000 marchers. They expected 30 buses, and were surprised by about 650, coming from as far as Nebraska and Florida."
Two reports. Two different stories.
The same was true at National Public Radio. On Saturday an NPR reporter at the Washington protest announced: "It was not as large as the organizers of the protest had predicted. They had said there would be 100,000 people here. I'd say there are fewer than 10,000."
Within the past 24 hours, NPR issued a correction for the misinformation. "We erroneously reported on All Things Considered that the size of the crowd was 'fewer than 10,000.' While Park Service employees gave no official estimate, it is clear that the crowd was substantially larger than that." NPR has since reported that at least 100,000 did in fact attend the rally.

Resource Letter PhD‐1: Physics demonstrations47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11625View Description Hide Description
This Resource Letter has been prepared as a project of the AAPT Committee on Apparatus for Educational Institutions. It represents a response to questions raised at the 1978 winter meeting in San Francisco concerning sources of information on lecture demonstrations. Thus, this letter is aimed more at readers who have recently become interested in lecture demonstrations, rather than those who are already familiar with the literature. While the authors have examined a great deal of material, and have had help from many people, there are always materials which have been overlooked. Therefore, we earnestly request that any reader with suggestions or corrections please communicate with the authors so that they may be included in any future updating. Because of the introductory scope of this Resource Letter, we have not included all of the resources that are available. Most foreign works, books known to be out of print, items having small circulation, and textbooks and earlier editions bearing differing titles have been excluded. The reader may refer to the annotated bibliography by John A. Davis (Sec. I B5) for a more extensive listing of the literature. When possible, the annotations are followed by one or more reviews so that other opinions can be consulted.
Can a body pass a body falling through the air?47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11626View Description Hide Description
Galileo reported that if two balls with different densities are dropped simultaneously, the less dense ball will initially fall faster, but later lag behind the more dense ball. The authors observed this same behavior for a lead ball and a billiard ball of different size. Numerical calculations show that due to the complex dependence of the drag coefficient on the velocity and size of a ball, it is possible under certain coditions to drop two balls simultaneously and find that one initially lags behind but then passes the other. However, the specific behavior observed by the authors, and probably Galileo also, was most likely due to a systematic error in the dropping apparatus.
What is a solitary wave?47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11627View Description Hide Description
The exact solutions of classical nonlinear field equations which describe pulselike waves that are collisionally stable are known as solitary waves. The properties of these solutions are reviewed. Several of the classical equations which exhibit this type of solution are discussed. Examples of current uses in physics research are given for each field equation discussed.
Pressure‐volume work exercises illustrating the first and second laws47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11628View Description Hide Description
We present two exercises involving rapid compression and expansion of ideal gases. The exercises are useful teaching tools and illustrate the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The first problem involves the conversion of gravitational energy into heat through mechanical work. The second involves the mutual interaction of two gases through an adiabatic piston. Both local and global versions of the second law can be applied to this second exercise. Both problems are also treated by numerical fluid dynamics.
Canonical approach to the damped harmonic oscillator47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11629View Description Hide Description
We present a canonical treatment of the damped harmonic oscillator. The Hamiltonian is made simpler by means of a suitable canonical transformation. The ensuing equations of motion for the transformed canonical variables are then solved by the Hamilton‐Jacobi method.
Undergraduate laboratories in physics: Two philosophies47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11630View Description Hide Description
It is argued that experimental physics cannot be taught effectively in the traditional undergraduate laboratory which requires a student to follow a detailed set of instructions in order to ''verify'' a textbooktheory or some other ''known'' result. In place of such methods, it is proposed that the student be presented, in ascending order of complexity, a series of problems or projects in experimental physics under conditions resembling as closely as is feasible those of a research laboratory.
The design of a radiotelescope: A multidisciplinary game47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11631View Description Hide Description
The ''design'' of a simple radio telescope is proposed as a multidisciplinary exercise, bringing together radioastronomy, electronics, and the theory of structures. The telescope can be built by relatively inexperienced students and used to observe Jupiter bursts as well as the quiet sun (under favorable conditions).
Representing arbitrary boosts for undergraduates47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11632View Description Hide Description
A derivation is given for the matrix representation of an arbitrary boost, i.e., a Lorentz transformation without rotation. The derivation utilizes standard vector and matrix techniques along with the well‐known form for a special Lorentz transformation. However, it is done in such a way as to avoid a possible confusion over the meaning of parallel axes. Consequently it is believed to be suitable for students with modest backgrounds in mathematics and relativity.
Asymptotic freedom made simple47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11633View Description Hide Description
The notion of asymptotic freedom in quantum chromodynamics is ''explained'' on general physical grounds, without invoking the formal arguments of renormalizablequantum field theory. The related concept of quark confinement is also discussed along the same line.
Quantum theory of hyperfine structure transitions in diatomic molecules47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11634View Description Hide Description
An advanced laboratory experiment is described in which radio‐frequency transitions between molecular hyperfine structure states may be observed. Aspects of quantum theory applied to the analysis of this physical system are discussed.
Virial theorem and scale transformations47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11619View Description Hide Description
In this article the virial theorem, which is useful in classical mechanics,quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics, is considered. Most derivations of this result are of one of two types. Either one starts with the function r⋅p [or operator 1/2 (r⋅p+p⋅r)], or else takes a derivative with respect to the parameter of a scale transformation. It is pointed out that these two methods are closely related, since [r⋅p or 1/2 (r⋅p+p⋅r)] is the generator of scale transformations. This is demonstrated explicitly for classical and quantum‐mechanical systems. The pedagogical advantages in pointing out this connection are also examined.
Frictional force on rolling objects47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11620View Description Hide Description
An experiment investigating the direction of the frictional force exerted by a horizontal surface on a rolling object is discussed. Students generally find the results surprising; however, the observations support the predictions of rotational dynamics. The experiment is suitable for an introductory mechanics laboratory.
Reading through pinholes: A closer look47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11621View Description Hide Description
A previous discussion of placing a pinhole in front of each eye, and reading with ''relaxed'' vision is reconsidered in view of the connection between accommodation and convergence. The increased depth of focus due to the pinholes does not force accommodation to relax. Instead accommodation is free to change without blurring the retinal image. Under these conditions, the accommodative response is dictated, through the accommodative‐convergence relationship, by the convergence demands of the situation.
A simple method for illustrating the difference between the homogeneous and inhomogeneous Lorentz groups47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11622View Description Hide Description
A method is proposed for illustrating the difference between the Poincaré (inhomogeneous Lorentz) and homogeneous Lorentz groups. Representations of the Poincaré group are constructed from solutions of the relativistic harmonic oscillatorequation whose physical wave functions have been effective in describing basic high‐energy hadronic features in the relativistic quark model. It is shown that the Poincaré group can be represented by solutions of the relativistic oscillatorequation in a ''moving cylindrical'' coordinate system in which the time‐separation variable in the hadronic rest frame is treated separately. Representations which are diagonal in the Casimir operators of the homogeneous Lorentz group are also constructed from solutions of the same oscillatordifferential equation in a hyperbolic coordinate system. It is pointed out that the difference between the Poincaré and homogeneous Lorentz groups mainfests itself in the coordinate systems in which the oscillatordifferential equation in separable.
Large amplitude simple pendulum: A Fourier analysis47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11623View Description Hide Description
The nonisochronous behavior of a simple pendulum is well known. That this implies a large amount of anharmonicity is a conclusion which seems reasonable to many persons. This paper investigates this matter, and concludes that for all amplitudes the simple pendulum is highly harmonic.
Pauli principle in Euclidean geometry47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11635View Description Hide Description
A macroscopic toy of Dirac and Stong shows how to detect 2π rotations in our world. A theorem in geometry shows the toy is maximal; no device in three dimensions can measure bigger angles than this toy. Assuming then that the toy correctly models motion of fermions in our world, a ''hand waving'' derivation of the Pauli principle follows. Finally algebra is brought in to express the geometric truth. A famous sign ambiguity goes away.
Dynamic solutions for linear elastic collisions47(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.11636View Description Hide Description
By numeric integration of the dynamic equations of motion for linear elastic collisions we show that the final velocities are different from those traditionally expected. Both air‐track glider and compressible sphere collisions were modeled. Final velocities in all cases were independent of the force constants of the separating springs and the compressibility of the spheres. Experimental measurements of the final velocities for three body collisions of similar air‐track gliders and of similar elastic spheres are presented which agree well with the calculations.

"It is comforting to see such an enthusiastic turnout at this years fund-raiser," said Cajun Chapter chairman Larry Chiasson. " It's also reassuring to know that the lion's share of every dollar we raise is funneled directly into DU wetland habitat restoration programs throughout North America."
Chiasson went on to thank members of the community who donated time and merchandise to guarantee the banquet's success.
The Cajun Chapter is busy preparing for the General Membership Banquet that will be held at the Rice Festival Building on Ocotober 7,
The event begins at 6 p.m. with a social, followed by dinner and the live auction.
Tickets are $55 per person.
For more information contact Dean Bergeaux at 783-7200, Bryan Benoit-288-9808, Billy Beasley- 581-5581, or Larry Chiasson -581-9000.

This past weekend, my interior designer/product specialist Angela had to travel to her daughter-in-laws home four hours away to help her repair a few things around the house before she moved from there.
One such repair involved replacing an interior door. Earlier in the week, Angela told me about the upcoming trip and tasks and asked me if we could go over the details involved in replacing a door because she and her daughter-in-law were planning to tackle the project, and neither of their husbands would able to be with them.
Spoiler alert after the project was over and pictures were sent to me over the phone text, I wondered what did that matter, they had this; although I must admit, my chauvinistic side had its doubts.
The week was extremely busy. and, before we knew it, it was approaching 5 p.m. on Friday afternoon, and we hadnt thought anymore about the tools or instructions she would need.
She came in my office and said, Im about to leave, can you instruct me on how to replace that door?
At that moment, I felt really bad that we had not been able to prepare any better than this and realized as well that we would have to travel across town to the tool trailer to get the tools she would need to carry with her.
As we stood in the tool trailer gathering things like the door slab stabilizer stand, the 2?-inch hole saw, the 1-inch hole saw, the router for mortising out the hinges and strike bolt, the hinge screw centering drill bit, etc., I would tell her each step in the process, as she would respond like; uh-huh, yep, OK.
Little did I realize, she was soaking it all up and storing it in her steel trap mind, unlike the hundreds of times Ive done that with men while they respond; uh-huh, yep, OK only to call me later and ask, what did you say about such-n-such?
She gathered the information like she gathered the tools, in a flash and in a hurry and took off toward Wilmington, N.C.
As the next day unfolded, I would receive a text with a picture attached with one step down and another step to be conquered.
A little later, that step conquered with another picture sent either for approval or proof, I dont know which one, but it was amazing to watch the precision in which she conquered those steps in the process.
At one time before they started, her daughter-in-law expressed that she was nervous about taking on this project, but Angelas response was, We can do this.
In a short while, they had it all complete with the lockset closing properly and took one final picture of the finished project and texted it over. It looked great.
A short time later, she texted me a short note and a picture along with it that said, Do you have an article on how to fix this?
I was busy with something when the text came in, and I didnt look at the picture and thought she was referring to the interior door replacement, so I responded, Why do you need the article; youve already completed the task?
She texted back and said, No, look close; this is what happened to the front door while we were working on the interior door!
Now folks, Ive had continuations of lengthy articles before, but I dont believe Ive ever written a cliff hanger; but I think Im going to have to here because what happened to that front door is another article in itself.
So I will conclude the story next week.

Theatre Festival programme revealed
Published 26/07/2011
The world premiere of ten plays, including a new work by Colm Toibin, are among the pieces of theatre to be staged across the capital.
The 54th Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival will run over 18 days from September 29, with 28 shows in 25 venues.
Artistic director Loughlin Deegan said his fifth and final festival programme includes a particularly strong Irish theme, alongside many international artists and companies.
Programme and ticket details are available on www.dublintheatrefestival.com.
Opening the festival in the Gaiety Theatre is Donka, A letter to Chekhov, a feat of aerial acrobatics, multi-media illusion and circus magic.
Others highlights include Toibin's Testament, which is directed by Tony award-winner Garry Hynes and performed by one of Ireland's foremost actors, Marie Mullen.
Elsewhere the programme features international works from theatre giants Kneehigh, Les ballets C de la B, and world renowned directors Ivo van Hove, Daniele Finzi Pasca and Alain Platel.
Meanwhile Behind Closed Doors will focus on the private lives of Dublin city's inhabitants not always in the public eye, giving a glimpse into an often forgotten facet of Irish society.
And the doors of the last Magdalene Laundry to shut are set to reopen to stage a controversial play called Laundry. Laundry will feature personal stories from women confined to the notorious workhouse on Sean MacDermott Street in the north inner city.
The family season will also continue at The Ark, a cultural centre for children, with three of the best theatre companies in the world from Belgium and Denmark.

Unordinary Lives by Manca Juvan
In partnership with the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia
February 18 - March 31, 2016
Join us for a public reception on Friday, March 4th from 6:30-8:00pm
The promise of democracy and the rebuilding of the war-torn nation of Afghanistan have proven elusive. This photo display is a window into the effect the conflict has had on the Afghan people. The on-going war and instability in Afghanistan continues to diminish the hope of the Afghan people for peace, development and prosperity. This the story of ordinary Afghans and the real images of war and poverty – of lives far from ordinary.
Born 1981 in Slovenia, Manca Juvan worked as a freelance photographer and made several trips to Afghanistan between 2003 and 2009 documenting the difficult lives of the people after the fall of the Taliban. The images have been published in a book of the same title that aims to encourage continued discussion of Afghanistan particularly of the daily lives of ordinary citizens.
Juvan was selected as Photographer of the Year in Slovenia for her reportage work in 2006, 2007 and 2008 and has been twice commended for her work on Afghanistan by the Slovenian Association of Journalists. Her book Afghanistan: Unordinary Lives was published by Sanje publishers in 2010 with an English edition following 2012. In 2011 she was chosen as one of three recipients of a scholarship for NYU/Magnum Foundation Photography and Human Rights Program. Juvan has published photographs and stories on Venezuela, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Thailand, India, the United States, Serbia and the EU Countries in publications including The Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, National Geographic (Slovenia), Time.com and The European Voice.
"Afghanistan shaped me as a person and as a photographer. I don't pretend the book is about the whole country and its people - it's way too big and complex to fit it all in one book," she said. "War is terrible. It shouldn't happen. And the ordinary people are those who suffer the most. We should never forget."

J2010/A Eyewear
With these designer eyeglasses, you are always perfectly dressed. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of J2010in our 2015, and 2016 Jil Sander range.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. The butterfly look is characterized by the thick semi-remiless frame. The classic shape has an enduring popularity and is always en vogue. Stars like Marilyn Monroe made the look famous. This eye-catching shape is particularly suitable for faces with broad cheeks. The butterfly shape attracts everyone's attention. Due to its extravagance, it is absolutely perfect for confident personalities. The look is particularly suitable for somewhat shorter faces because the special shape makes the faces appear elongated and, thus, more slender. Black is one of the undisputed classics. It can be combined with any outfit and simultaneously radiates elegance and naturalness.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
The model has already been ordered and will shortly be back in stock. If you order now, you will get the reduced price and once the goods arrive, we will send you your new Jil Sander on the same day. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.

Single Payer Summer: We Demand National Single-Payer Or At Least the Right for States to Do It
If the goal is providing more people with better healthcare, if the goal is not to avoid making the federal government look second best, if the goal is not to achieve a perverse hyper-simplicity of "messaging," then including the state single-payer language in August demands is the way to go.

King's Nursery in Santa Rosa
Voted the best nursery in Sonoma County.
Open for Garden Fun
9-6 Mon-Sat, 9-5 on Sundays
It's Time to Plant Veggies!
It's that wonderful, magical time of year- vegetable planting time!
Oh my, veggies and other edibles are certainly the thing right now. People really want to grow their own food, and they're so excited to plant anything and everything…….
Thinking of growing vegetable plants, from seed or starts? We carry both- high quality seeds that are guaranteed to grow, and eager young starter plants that are locally grown.
Veggies can be grown year-round here in Sonoma County, and you can even incorporate them into your ornamental landscape (this trend is called 'ornamedibles')
Since more gardeners have decided they like heirloom and unusual veggies, we like to offer stuff you don't see anywhere else, like 'Bright Lights' chard, 'Watermelon' radishes, or variegated perennial basil. We stock loads of different heirloom tomatoes, too, like 'Brandywine', 'Green Zebra;, 'Pineapple' and many more.
Some folks are devoted to reliable stalwarts in the veggie garden. If you are the type who relies on the tried and true, you'll find the classics here- 'Early Girl' & 'Better Boy' tomatoes, crookneck and patty pan squash, 'Chandler' strawberries, and a lot more.
It's wise to add compost and get the soil ready to embrace the new additions you'll soon be tending. We LOVE Paydirt, a stinky organic compost made from chicken manure and mushroom compost. An easy way to add this in is to put a 3-6″ layer over your plot, then rototill as usual. Or, if your not tilling, just 'double dig' the compost into each planting hole, leaving the rest of the compost layer undisturbed; it will act as a mulch, keeping weeds out and moisture in.
If you've ever grown tomatoes, you understand the importance of a sturdy tomato cage. Put it right over your new seedlings when they are young so they can just grow right up through the center- little to no training on your part (if you wait until the plant is larger it can be difficult to secure it without breaking some branches). We only sell the kind that will stand up to the weight of a fully loaded tomato plant- MANLY CAGES, in either the standard circular version, or a larger square-shaped style that will fold flat after the season is over.
Did you know how much of a difference it makes when you fertilize your veggie garden? If you want the most produce you can grow, throw out some granular veggie food, like Master Nursery Tomato vegetable food or E.B.Stone organic tomato vegetable food. I noticed a big increase in the amounts that were harvested through the season when I fertilized once a month, and it hardly took any time at all. I just scattered the food around the root zone of all my herbs and veggies, then watered it in- done!
Until recently, eliminating slugs and snails from my tender seedlings would require the application of highly toxic snail bait. Now there's Sluggo- iron phosphate, which is safe for humans, pets and wildlife. This product is perfect for the veggie garden, it's organic, and any unconsumed pellets even break down into nutrients that feed your plants. How do they come up with this stuff?
Plant most summer crops in the full sun, or at least 6 hours of afternoon sun, to get your plants to produce well. There are a few summertime things you can plant in shadier spots, or morning sun, like lettuce, radishes, strawberries and most herbs. Adjust your irrigation accordingly, since things that get less sun tend to be happier if they go longer between waterings.
Remember, King's is a great resource to help you along the veggie garden path. We will answer any questions, offer growing tips and advice, demonstrate and explain what you can do to have a successful harvest- just come on in!

It's one thing to fantasize about telling your boss, "Take this job and shove it." To quit a good-paying gig with no backup plan takes guts.
Hilary Beard, of Mounty Airy, did exactly that 17 years ago, after holding down corporate positions at Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson and Pepsi. She had no clue what would come next.
"I felt like I was just a liar," Beard recalled last week. "I was working for Pepsi, and I didn't drink Pepsi. I just wanted to have integrity. . . . Integrity is when what you think and what you feel and what you do are all in alignment."
