New York - The creators of television's satirical "South Park" animated show are set to cast their brash brand of humour on the Mormon church in a new musical comedy on Broadway, producers said on Wednesday.The Emmy-award winning South Park creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, will write and direct the musical, called The Book of Mormon, according to producers of the show. It is set to premiere on Broadway in March 2011.It centres on two young Mormon missionaries sent to Uganda to spread the gospel of the church, which is formally known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A subplot revolves around Joseph Smith Jr, the church founder.Calling it "a dream come true for us," Parker and Stone said in a joint statement: "Growing up in Colorado, a lot of our friends were Mormons and we always thought their book would make a great musical."Parker, 40, and Stone, 38, previously co-wrote the songs for the South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, a musical movie based on the hit television show. The cartoon series, famous for its politically incorrect humour, debuted in 1997 and will celebrate its 200th episode this week.The pair will team up with Robert Lopez, creator and composer of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Avenue Q. The show is being produced by Scott Rudin and Anne Garefino, an executive producer of the South Park television series.Controversial"It really is in many senses a big traditional musical comedy, with, as you might expect, untraditional subject matter. I can't wait to see how Broadway audiences are going to react when they experience it," Lopez said in a statement.HBO recently apologised after an episode of its polygamy television drama Big Love, starring Bill Paxton as a member of a fictional breakaway Mormon sect who has three wives, prompted calls and e-mails from angry Mormons.None of the characters from the South Park television series, which mostly follows four young boys and their adventures in a fictional town called South Park in Colorado, will be transferred to the Broadway musical, according to a spokeswoman for the show.Parker received an Academy Award nomination for best song for South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut. He and Stone also created the parody Team America: World Police that Parker also directed.Church spokeswoman Kim Farah declined to comment on the making of the musical.
What, no mention of Cannibal: The Musical?
"Joseph Smith he was a prophetdum dum dum dum dum"- the Mormon song, South Park
Cannibal! The musical is awesome!!!

Back in April after the Great Cloth Diaper Change the awesome Stacy Avery Photography did mini sessions for those who wanted to get great photos of their sweet little ones in cloth. It was SO fun!
What makes it even more fun? When you have THREE babies about the same age (within 2 weeks of each other), just getting good at sitting, in their fluff, with two moms really close to avoid any injuries, and the other mom taking the photos.
Let the chaos ensue, and enjoy some of these outtakes....
From left to right is Ember (mine), Ryan (Stacy's), and Kate (Shelly's)
|Ember: Yeah, I'm pretty happy
Ryan: Here, Kate, Let me just take that for you
Kate: What are you doing? I'm trying to sit here like a big girl - NO you can't have my necklace!
|Ember: Yep - I like to smile - CHEESE!!
Ryan: Fine. If you aren't going to share your neckace you can just leave!
Kate: Whatever. I like my fist anyway.
|Ember: Woohoo! Wait. What?
Ryan: Hey - what's over here?!
Kate: Hi there - I'm pretty adorable!
|Ember: Woah!
Ryan: WTF!
Kate: Ha! I'm still sitting :P
|Ember: What the....?!
Ryan: Kate, I really like your hair.
Kate: What the....?!
|Ember: Look what I can do!
Ryan: So? I don't even care.
Kate: I'm so friggin cute I can hardly stand it.
|Ember: What are you doing? Leave my ear alone!
Ryan: I'm the strongest baby in the world!
Kate: Ryan! Stop it!!
|Ember: Let's be friends - here, hold my hand.
Ryan: I'm the studdliest baby around...I have TWO girls on my arms
Kate: I suppose I can forgive you for pushing me.
|And.....the finished product. Are they cute or what? :)
I hope you enjoyed these as much as we have!

What I loved most: When librarians heard students say, "Ahhh, look at that!" or "This is cool!", they knew students were truly excited. When librarians heard students say, "Oh, I've got to do this first. Now I solved it!", they knew that students were thinking critically. And when librarians heard, "Yes-I did it!", they knew students were truly persevering.

How was your Hour of Code week? I'd love to hear about your experiences and next steps.

Iwas checking Twitter, Facebook and email this past weekend and came across the following things from some of the librarians in my district:

"I was at my library conference and heard an idea from another librarian. It involves several volunteer staff coming up for an hour during the summer so that kids can come up with parents to check out books to read. Can you give me some feedback on this idea, pros/cons please?"- Email to Principal & Library Coordinator from Diane Rausch, Leander ISD

"I'm learning that LISD is pretty much on the forefront of technology in the field of librarianship. Makerspaces and coding are not new to us at all. Most of us have been doing them already. So proud! Of course, we still have room to improve. That's why we are here!" –Facebook post from Brenda Speck, Leander ISD

"It was a great day! I loved Matthew Winner's thoughts. #bethehero" –Facebook post from Karen Jordan, Leander ISD

 "Last day of TLA conference! I'm sooooo tired, but it's been a great week of learning! I've learned new stuff and I've learned I'm above the curve in a ton of other stuff!! Yay me! And the BOOKS! Holy cow, the BOOKS!!"! – Facebook post Beth Brymer, Leander ISD

These are just a few of what I read but the rich learning and many resources either purchased or obtained for free was obvious. I also noted that many librarians were already sharing what they learned via blog posts or newsletters. Here's an example:

Check out What I learned at TXLA Tech Camp! (via http://t.co/jCkpuW2Z3P) https://t.co/RGIA9pGAP8 #txlatechcamp15 #leanderisdlib

— Dee Porter (@librariandee) April 14, 2015

I really enjoy reading over everything my librarians pass along but I also remind them to share their learning with their campus principals and teachers upon their return to campus. Sharing new ideas and inspiration learned from conferences is an advocacy opportunity everyone can easily do. This opportunity affirms your librarian position as a resource for others in the area of literacy and tech integration and how you see it supporting your campus and/or district goals-who wouldn't want to spotlight that? Also, telling your principal a simple "thank you" for allowing you to attend is another opportunity you won't want to forget. With all the knowledge you've gained and passed along, this could afford you an additional opportunity to attend conferences in addition to TLA in the future.

Whether you write a thank-you note, send an email, or simply stop by your principal's office, don't forget to express your appreciation and share your learning-it can really go a long way!

I woke up last Saturday morning and checked my Facebook page and found author, Will Hillenbrand had posted a newspaper link to an author appearance he was making on April 7 at St. Peters Township Public Library. The write-up shared info about Pennsylvania's One Book, Every Young Child program which highlights the importance of early literacy development in preschoolers ages 3-6.

Back in 2010, Jane & Will Hillenbrand's picture book "What a Treasure!" was selected to to lead this initiative. Since becoming a grandma just over a year ago, I decided to find out more about this book and found this video from PBS Media where Will, the illustrator reads the book aloud.

Well, I instantly fell in love with this book! I found myself going online afterwards to purchase and add to my "future gifts to grandkids" pile-everyone knows you can never have enough gifts!

Once ordered, I got back on Facebook to share how much I enjoyed the wonderful message and Will Hillenbrand responded right back, offering me a link to get the book autographed. I then shared info about the book being ordered but he instantly offered to send a book plate and asked where to send and who to autograph it to. Well, I happily passed along names and this is what arrived early this week:

Front of the card which is illustrated by Will Hillenbrand

His note to me; I especially love the bonus Mole drawing.

And here's the bookplate:

I can't wait to share this book with my sweet grandkids but I'm especially excited to share the story behind how I found this "treasure" of a book! Will Hillenbrand-thanks so much for sharing your writing and illustration talents with us all!

What reading treasures have you found lately?
-BeckyBecky Calzadahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290030543668790571.post-86721862446067489392015-02-08T20:34:00.000-08:002015-02-09T11:49:25.537-08:00Where Can You Find a Reading Yoda?This past week was a whirlwind of learning! The district I work for hosted it's 23rd Annual Continuous Improvement Conference. It's two days of learning from outside presenters and consultants; we also provide our own staff with the opportunity to share their learning with everyone that attends through choice sessions. It's a great way to learn from one another and see what's happening on other campuses. We even have a conference hashtag (#LISDCIC) that connects everyone to what everyone else is learning.

My two days of learning were spent with Donalyn Miller, who's also known as "The Book Whisperer". She shared many insights over the 2 days but the thing that resonated with me most was the influence teachers can have on their students. This really isn't a new concept to me; as a librarian, I know and have witnessed the influence I have had with students when they come to the library. But I've also noticed that not all teachers harness the influence they have with students when it comes to talking about their book recommendations, books that influenced them as students, or even shared times when they didn't particularly like a book. It's entirely possible that teachers just haven't thought of doing this!

Teachers today have many daily tasks and demands so reading opportunities and recommendations could easily be pushed aside. Teachers need to remember that they are the "Lead Reader" in their classroom and should leverage every opportunity to share their love of reading whenever possible with their students. Doing this not only promotes literacy but also builds relationships, a key component in building a reading community.

But what if a teacher is unsure about where to start? This is where your campus librarian fits in. Donalyn recommended partnering with campus librarians to get reading lists, genre recommendations, series information and so much more. Librarians have a deep knowledge base about books and teachers and students often forget that librarians can be a resource, a "reading Yoda" of sorts. We are VERY willing to share our book knowledge and have conversations about great books to read anytime. Our goal is increase everyone's knowledge base about the many books available and ultimately build each person's reading compacity to become "reading Yoda's" for each other.

This was only one take-away; there were many additional ideas. If you've not read her book, please consider adding "The Book Whisperer" and "Reading in the Wild" on your "to-read" list; you will not be disappointed! I'd love to hear what other professionals do as the "Lead Reader" in their classroom-please share in the comments so we can all continue to learn from one another.

PS-Those were the first two days of my week; the rest of the week was spent at TCEA. I'll be posting that learning later this week!

PSS- I'm currently reading "The Fundamental 5: The Formula for Quality Instruction" and "El Deafo" which was recently awarded The Newbery Honor at the ALA Youth Media Awards.

Striving to share my literacy passion,

-Becky

Becky Calzadahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290030543668790571.post-47901618946180330332014-12-11T20:22:00.000-08:002015-02-08T20:39:39.017-08:00Choosing to Use TechnologyA few weeks back, I had the opportunity to visit our newest elementary school to check in with the librarian and observe a lesson. She was working with 4th graders during this time and after students completed checking out books, she passed out laptops to do a review of Destiny Quest and introduce eBooks in Follett Shelf.

The lesson went well; students explored and learned to navigate as they read their eBook selection. For some, this was a new experience!

It was soon time to put everything away, but I happened to notice one boy lingering, admiring and stroking the laptop he was using. I approached him and reminded him that it was time to go. He looked up at me and said, "I love using computers! They are so cool!" I quickly agreed with him and asked him if he had one at home. His response: "We don't have computers at my house. That's why I love using them at school."

I didn't want to make too big a deal about the lack of access, but instead asked if he had other family members with computers. He told me about an uncle with a computer so I encouraged the boy to share his eBook learning with his uncle and show off the great things available at their school library. He smiled and said "Okay" and was off to get in line with his class.

.
Now, you are probably wondering why I'm sharing this story. I could go on to speak about the lack of access for many students in our schools. This IS a reality for many students, but the real reason I share this story has more to do with the librarian that made this opportunity possible. Technology still has the ability to intimidate teachers especially when they have to use it with many students. Some teachers feel the need to wait to use technology until they are "comfortable". Device management with younger students is another concern, yet our youngest students, the digital natives, are eager and excited to use technology and share their learning with everyone!

If this librarian felt this way, this young boy would have missed out on using a tech tool to access books. For many of our students, school is the only place where opportunities to work with technology occurs.

Our district is about to embark on adding more tech in our classrooms and the reality is that Librarians can be a key player in modeling successful implementation and authentic use. We can't allow tech management fears or "waiting to be ready" to keep us from sharing learning experiences with our students and teachers. We may stumble and need support, but we need to remember to lean on each other or our students to help us through. I guarantee the pay-off in engagement will be huge!

Reflecting on the possibilities,
-Becky

What type of batiks do you use? if anyone has used Moda batiks could you tell us what you thought. Also which are better Indonesian, Bali or what. Your opinions appreciated.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What type of batiks do you use? if anyone has used Moda batiks could you tell us what you thought. Also which are better Indonesian, Bali or what. Your opinions appreciated.
i often use Hoffman batiks.
most are so close to being the same people have no idea there is a difference between Bali's, Hoffmans, .... the biggest difference i've noticed are the actual designs---block printing, color wash, drizzles, ect...visit BatiksPlus, or Bayside Fabrics---to browse a couple great selections...then check out their links-- or check out the list of shops on the fabshophop to find other quilt shops that are carrying them- some shops will allow you to order swatches so you can compare different fabrics....
hiding away in my stash where i'm warm, safe and happy
Sumatra by Blank Quilting. Batiks are produced in various areas of Indonesia. Bali, Sumatra, etc. Blank Quilting Sumatra Batiks ' are "fair trade" batiks. That means that the families that make their batiks are compensated at a recognized fair wage for that area.

Hi Katesnana,
Like me you have probably had batiks given to you by friends returning from holidays in Indonesia/Bali (and I have picked up many $2 sarong lengths at garage sales from people who obviously did not like the souvenirs that were brought home as presents!)The true batiks that I first encountered in Djakarta in 1969 had sharp, clear and intricate designs on monochrome backgrounds, nothing like the popular 'shadowy' designs of today's quilting batiks. I love both types, and often use the older type batiks for quilt backs -- the modern ones are out of my price range at the moment, but I won't be able to resist them forever.
I love the Batiks from Connecting Threads.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
I also love the batiks from Connecting Threads. They once sent me the wrong fabric, told me to keep it and then promptly sent the correct one. They have good prices too.
Thank you all for your answers. Can't buy from connecting threads as they don't post international.
Sandygirl, thank you for the heads up about fair trade batiks from Blank Quilting. I will check them out
gspsplease, Wish I had received some as present but sadly, no. Family have been traveling in Europe and America in 2012. They all consider I have too much fabric. Non quilters each & everyone of them, they just don't understand.
Peckish aka Peggi
Have you tried www.fabricfanatics.com They only sell batiks and have thousands of them. I have purchased a lot of fabric from them and have always been happy.

Feel Good Sunday: Short & Sweet, in more ways than one
"We have a brief but funny one for you on this day of rest, folks. Nothing will give you the chuckles over your morning coffee or Bloody Mary like a herd of wild minis' stampeding through a barn with a dog in the lead, ya just gotta luv it!
Have a great day with family and friends, be they two legged or four, and we will jump back into the fray in the morning. Keep the faith." ~ R.T.
Amazon Goes for Prime Equine Cuteness to Reel in Holiday Shoppers
forward by R.T. Fitch of Wild Horse Freedom Federation
Disclaimer: We are only grooving on the cuteness and not endorsing any specific product and/or service.
Several weeks ago Terry and I noticed a special little ad on TV the conjured up both memories and giggles over a little miniature horse, who reminds us of Munchie from Habitat for Horses, and the always present "herd stupidity" that permeates our rescued herd that lives with us. Our big boys, one being a Drafty, were once terrified by a little miniature donkey that was a guest when his home was threatened by a nearby wild fire. (Our boys annually spook over our lighted Christmas horses so we now either hide them from their bulging equine eyes or just don't bother to set them up…but the reaction is worth a thousand laughs)
Anyone who lives with horses will appreciate this little ad that highlights Amazon's crazy fast Prime delivery; not only an eye blurer but also a stealth holiday advert due to the current timing.
Feel Good Sunday: Tiny Horse Bringing Bales of Joy

"The responsibilities of Koal's care is a huge team effort between family, friends, and new found friendships,"
KINGSTON, N.J. — After coming home from work one day, Dawn Marie Fry of Flemington, N.J. was surprised to find a small black newborn miniature horse foal — no bigger than a greyhound.
Fry had no idea Koal's mother was pregnant as she had only recently acquired the mare. It was luck that both the mother and the foal were perfectly healthy after birth as miniature horses have a harder time having a successful birth than normal horses, according to Fry.
"Koal," as he has been affectionately named, was rejected by his mother only a week after birth. "We learned through video surveillance the first time mother would pick Koal up by the neck and toss him, kick him, and would trample him causing him to roll in the dirt and get stepped on," Fry said.
Fortunately Koal suffered no serious injuries although his caretakers were faced with many obstacles. Without his mother's care, Koal needed around-the-clock feedings. Fry worked full time, but fortuitously at a horse farm in Kingston called Hasty Acres. Every morning Fry would drive Koal to work in her car where he calmly fell asleep on the seat next to her.
Koal learned to drink formula from a syringe. At night time, Koal was kept inside Fry's kitchen, often accompanied by her children who fell asleep on the floor together with the foal. Koal wore a diaper in the house and slept on warm blankets on the kitchen floor.
Koal is old enough now that he is no longer on milk pellets and lives outside with his goat friend, Iggy, eating "big boy" feed. "Koal has been practicing leading and he will proudly walk all over my property with me. He loves to get the mail with me too," Fry said.
At Hasty Acres, Koal has touched many lives. "He is awe-inspiring with his small size and attracts visitors far and wide who would come to see the miracle foal," Fry said. She encourages everyone who stops by the enter Koal's stall and to pet him.
Initially after losing his mother, depression set in but with the help of friends and strangers who would come soothe and feed Koal, he soon thrived. "The responsibilities of Koal's care is a huge team effort between family, friends, and new found friendships," Fry said.
Koal enjoys playing with children. "The joy on the children's faces is priceless as they frolic through the fields together," Fry said. Koal follows his new "parents," Fry and any other person he deems fit for the title, all over the farm like a shadow. Koal is fearless from being hand raised and handled by humans mostly of the time, he rarely shows any nervousness.
Fry encourages everyone to interact with Koal to get him accustomed to human touch so she may use him for therapy when he is full grown. She runs a therapeutic riding program called Heads Up Special Riders, Inc. which currently teaches therapeutic horseback riding, and equine assisted psychotherapy for battered/abused women. She hopes to extend the programs Heads Up offers and help more people — using Koal to launch a new program.
Koal will one day become a certified therapy animal and visit nursing homes and hospitals.
Not long ago, Koal made a trip to Petsmart in Raritan Township for training to get him used to automatic doors, meeting new people, animals, lights and just being in a new place in general. "I bought him little sneakers for his hooves (dog sneakers – very stylish) so he would not slip on tile floors for our visits. Not one single person could walk by us without saying hello and getting their picture taken with Koal. The store associates said they have never had a horse in their store before!" Fry said.
Koal also made a guest appearance at Eno Terra's in Princeton Farm to Table Event. Proceeds benefited charity and Koal was one of the star attractions.

Clients Melvyn and Julie Jackson owed O'Connell a $37,000 final payment for about $200,000 worth of renovations carried out by his company.
Prosecutor Peter Cannell said after getting drunk at a Christmas party last year for his employees and subcontractors, O'Connell drove about an hour to the Jacksons' horse stud at Clayton Bay and slit the throats of six miniature horses.
"The accused has entered through a locked gate … and then proceeded to one by one cut the throats of those six miniature horses," Mr Cannell said.
"The horses were discovered deceased the following day by an employee.
"His intention was to make the victim Julie Jackson pay … get the victim somewhere where it would hurt."
O'Connell later disposed of the butcher's knife and blood-stained seat covers from his car at sea.
The court heard O'Connell made frank admissions about his actions when police spoke to him about the crime a week later.
A civil damages settlement had since been reached between O'Connell and the Jackson family worth about $60,000.
Ms Jackson read a victim impact statement in court, in which she said the "blood-fuelled massacre" had sent her family's life into turmoil.
"I have lost more than six miniature horses, I have lost myself," Ms Jackson said.
"I wish everyday for a different outcome for my babies.
"How could anyone expect a house renovation to result in the death of six horses.
"How could a builder plot and plan such a callous attack and carry it out?
"This has not just tortured me, it has tortured my family.
"My life is forever impacted and my heart forever broken."
Mr Jackson told the court when he arrived at the stables he was confronted by blood-splattered walls.
"It was a scene that filled me with horror and heartbreak," Mr Jackson said.
"They were part of our family in the same way that our children are.
"They can never be replaced. We have not used those stables since that night."
Court heard O'Connell snapped
O'Connell's lawyer Nick Healy said his client had since lost about $2 million worth of contracts and was horrified by his actions.
"He simply snapped and he and the victim have been paying for this ever since," Mr Healy said.
"At no time did my client try to excuse his conduct."
Mr Healy described the married father of four as a respected member of the local community whose actions were bizarre.
He said at the time of the crime he had building contracts worth about $4 million.
He said about half of his staff had also left and a custodial sentence would see his business collapse.
But Judge Paul Cuthbertson questioned whether it was already too late for O'Connell's business.
"I would have thought his business is gone already, who would want to deal with him?" Judge Cuthbertson said.
O'Connell pleaded guilty to aggravated serious criminal trespass, which carried a maximum penalty of 20 years in jail.
He also admitted to property damage for killing the horses, which attracts a term of up to 10 years.
O'Connell's lawyer urged the judge to suspend any prison sentence.
But the prosecution called for a custodial sentence because of the seriousness of the offending.

'World's Smallest' Horse Stolen In Italy, May Be Held For Ransom
Source: The Huffington Post | By Ryan Grenoble
"We have been victims of a serious criminal act,"
Thieves in Italy may be asking the owner of the "world's smallest" horse to pony up after stealing the steed and potentially holding it for ransom.
The animal was recently stolen from the 47th annual National Horse Show in Città di Castello, located in the country's Umbria region. A representative for the show told The Local that the steed's diminutive stature made him "particularly valuable," leading authorities to speculate he may be held for ransom.
The pint-size pony's petite proportions are particularly problematic, says his owner, Bartolo Messina, because at only 63 centimeters (2 feet) tall, "Charlie" can be easily hidden just about anywhere.
This was no precisely planned heist, either. According to Messina, the world's smallest horse thieves are believed to have cut a hole in the fence surrounding Charlie's enclosure Thursday night then absconded with him through a nearby tobacco field.
"We have been victims of a serious criminal act," an official associated with the horse show told local paper Corriere Dell'Umbria. The official emphasized the event's security, noting they "have always prevented … similar incidents," and that this "shameful action … has nothing to do with the horse world and its values."
Not to knock Charlie off his high horse, but a search of the Guinness World Records for the "smallest living horse" reveals the record is currently held by "Thumbelina," a miniature mare that's only 17.5 inches tall.

Rescue Pony Delivers Joy to Hospice Patients

"There's something about horses that seems to soothe her…"
"It is, once again, 'Feel Good Sunday' and our very, very good friends at HorseTalk have published an article that strikes deeply into my heart and also into the lives of valued volunteers and members of WHFF and SFTHH.
We, meaning family and friends, lost my mother to cancer several years ago and the very last words I ever heard passing her lips were "thank you" as she held the head of a miniature pony that we brought into her room to comfort her; her very last words and this story is about another human soul, comforted by the equine spirit. It is real, in your face and tangible. The horses bring us peace, hope and comfort.

Debbie Hillery rode horses growing up in Minnesota – carefree summer rides through the prairie on a palomino named Sundance.
Now the horses come to her – specifically, a 30-inch tall, 250-pound miniature horse named Lilly.
On a Monday morning in August, Lilly and her owner, Brook Mortensen, arrived at Hillery's MoonValley home in north Phoenix. They are a volunteer pet team for Hospice of the Valley, which is caring for Hillery.
After nibbling a little Bermuda grass in the front yard, Lilly sauntered into the family room, enticed by apple treats. Over the next hour, Hillery and her family members enjoyed petting and grooming Lilly, placing pink and white flower clips in her mane as they chatted with Mortensen.
The pet therapy visit was arranged by Hillery's hospice home care team members after they heard how much she likes horses.
"It's just so fun!" Hillery exclaimed, brushing Lilly's white mane. Lilly responded with a soulful look and pawed the floor with her hoof (a signal for "more apples, please").
Hillery, 59, was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. She's had chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and has opted now for hospice and palliative care. Married and the mother of two grown daughters, Hillery had a career in sales and is a former cheerleader for the Minnesota Vikings.
A decade ago she served as a Hospice of the Valley volunteer.
"There's something about horses that seems to soothe her," said Margi Cook, Hillery's sister. "In the last couple of months, she's been talking about horses and enjoys being with them."
Hospice of the Valley has about 200 pet therapy teams – mainly dogs and their "people" – who visit patients and families at their homes or wherever they reside. The visits perk up patients' days and evoke pleasant memories of pets they have had in the past.
Like Hillery, Mortensen grew up with horses, but didn't have much contact with them as an adult until three years ago. That is when her husband, who owns a pool company, brought home a video of a client's miniature horses. "I said, oh, I have to have one!" she said. "But I knew miniature horses can't be glorified pets – they have to have a job."
Mortensen bought not just one but four miniature horses from a farm in Minnesota, including Lilly, a rescue horse purchased at auction.
Now the ponies' day job is entertaining children at birthday parties and special events – Story Book Ponies, which can found on Facebook under that name or at storybook-ponies.com – based in the Northwest Valley.
Last spring, Mortensen started searching the internet for a charitable activity she could do with the ponies. She came across Hospice of the Valley's website and learned about the Pet Connections program. Within a month, Lilly became a registered pet therapy animal and Mortensen completed the requisite volunteer training.
"I can empathize with these patients," said Mortensen, a breast cancer survivor. "I've been there. I've been bald. I haven't felt well. That was my main motivation. These horses bring me so much joy. I want to bring joy to someone else."

Wisconsin Mini Horse Rings Bell for Salvation Army
"It's 'Feel Good Sunday' folks and today's installment, again, shows how our equine companions touch the hearts and spirits of so many…enjoy." ~ R.T.
"He knows that this is his job and he does it very well…"
WEST BEND, Wis. – Tinker may be miniature — as in a miniature horse — but he's a big money raiser for the Salvation Army.
He uses his mouth to hold and ring a red bell and also picks up with his mouth a "Thank You Merry Christmas" sign. He can also bow and give kisses.
Major Roger Ross, a Salvation Army commander, said Tinker is one of their biggest money raisers in the area: He brings in 10 times the amount of a regular bell ringer.
"A good kettle for a couple of hours brings in about $250, and for the same time period (Tinker and his owners) have been known to bring in $2,500," he said. "They line up to put money in the kettle."
The 13-year-old horse, who's brown, black, grey and white, has been ringing for four seasons.
"I actually save up all my donation and give it to Tinker because I have such a soft place in my heart for him," said Karen Hammen, who gave money while Tinker stood outside a West Bend craft show on a recent Saturday morning.
One of Tinker's owners, Carol Takacs, said she and her husband got Tinker 12 years ago. She said she went to look at a property, fell in love with the miniature horses there and asked that one be part of the deal.
"About three or four years ago I was walking out of a store and there was a bell ringer and I gave," she said. "I started thinking `I wonder if I can, if I can help make this even more interesting.' So I went home and I started working with Tinker."
His name was Tinker when they got him, Takacs said.
"As fate would have it, I could not have named him more appropriately if I had tried," she said.
Before appearances, she spends a half-hour vacuuming his mane and fur and puts glitter on his hooves, a bell on his backside and a Santa hat on his head. And — of course — Tinker wears the Salvation Army apron.
She also made pins with his face on it — a gift for every $5 donation.
While most people are wooed by Tinker and his decorations, she said some don't believe he actually holds and rings the bell.
"We don't do that with Velcro or glue. There's nothing on his bell. He knows that this is his job and he does it very well," she said.

text: China has become an increasingly important bilateral trade partner, experts said Wednesday at the one-day 7th Middle East Investor Relations Society (MEIRS) Conference.As China is a source market for investment into stock-listed firms in the Middle East, the rise in trade between both sides is due to Arab markets opening up to foreigners.Mahmoud Salem, Middle East and Africa Head at Dubai's branch of the United State's bank BNY Mellon, said during the conference that the lender's latest 2015 investor relations (IR) survey of global companies, revealed that 54 percent of all Middle East respondents said that China is one of the most important global capital markets.IR describes a pro-active information and communications policy between stock-listed companies and existing as well as potential investors such as banks, fund managers, pension funds and retail investors."Albeit the U.S. and the UK are the most important markets according to between 90 and 80 percent of IR Middle East managers, China's third ranking is significant compared to five or 10 years ago - and continues to rise," said Salem, adding that IR for 2015's top priority (61 percent of all respondents) was increasing international shareholder ownership.Ms. Azza Abdel-Bari, Senior Markets Manager at Dubai's Regulatory Financial Services Authority (DFSA) said Chinese banks and investors are increasing their presence in the Gulf region, "China's significance is increasing in relation to setting up regulatory standards and information exchange with other regulators abroad," said Abdel-Bari.The DFSA already signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in 2007 with China's Banking Regulatory Commission, and in 2008, China's biggest bank, ICBC, opened a branch in the Dubai banking free zone, DIFC, regulated and supervised by the DFSA.The DFSA also regulates 390 authorised firms. The top four Chinese lenders run offices in the center in addition to ICBC, such as China's Construction Bank, The Agricultural Bank of China and Bank of China.Schutzmann, MEIRS Chairman, founder and CEO of Dubai-based IR advisory firm Iridium, said in his key note address that the growing role of Chinese investors in Middle Eastern firms is not coincidental, as governments in the Gulf region are pushing ahead to increase corporate transparency in capital markets and listed firms "as recent developments force them to."The UAE and Qatar have been upgraded to emerging markets from their previous frontier markets standing by global index provider MSCI in June last year. "The law in the UAE stipulates that all firms must have an IR department and manager by the end of 2015, serving market information requirements, investors, stakeholders and the public," said Schutzmann, a veteran of Dubai's financial industry.In 2014, China surpassed India, becoming Dubai's largest foreign trade partner as Chinese-Emirati trade in the Sheikhdom hit 175 billion dirhams (47.70 billion US dollars).Several UAE banks such as Emirates NBD, the country's biggest lender, and the National Bank of Abu Dhabi, have opened branches in China to conduct private and corporate banking.In June this year, Saudi Arabia for the first time opened its stock market, Tadawul, the biggest in the region relative to market capital (around 580 billion US dollars), to include foreign investors "motivating Saudi-listed companies towards increased transparency in order to attract worldwide capital," added Schutzmann.Schutzmann's Iridium IR advisory firm and Germany's EQS Group, a specialist in digital corporate communications, announced their partnership for the promotion of digital solutions for investor relations across the Middle East.EQS, founded in 2000, provides digital solutions for investor relations and corporate communications, enabling 7,000 International firms to fulfill corporate information requirements on time.Achim Weick, Chief Executive Officer of the Munich-based EQS Group, told Xinhua "We had a two-year presence in Hong Kong when we took over the IR Group, and we will soon expand to mainland China, namely Shanghai.We see tremendous opportunities in upgrading IR efforts through our Middle East stock-connect platform, as listed firms are keen to reach out to investors in China."

2013 Tesla Model S Picture
Tesla Motors announced a major initiative to improve the service experience for its customers.

Just the Facts:
Tesla Motors on Friday detailed its new service program, which includes a loaner fleet made up of fully loaded Tesla Model S Performance 85 sedans and Tesla Roadsters.
Tesla said it is also putting in place a valet service, in which the car is picked up and replaced with a loaner.
"Our service is OK, but not great, and it needs to be great," said Elon Musk, Tesla CEO.
PALO ALTO, California — Tesla Motors on Friday detailed its new service program, which includes a loaner fleet made up of fully loaded Tesla Model S Performance 85 sedans and Tesla Roadsters.
"Our service is OK, but not great, and it needs to be great," said Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, in a conference call with the media. "What's the best service and warranty that we could possibly envision? That's what we've come up with here."
He added: "I want to give people peace of mind."
Musk said the service program is critical for long-term sales.
"Service sells all the subsequent cars," he said.
Tesla will build an initial batch of about 100 Model S loaner cars. Over time, it expects to have a loaner fleet of several hundred of the vehicles or "whatever is needed," Musk said.
The number of loaners at the various service locations will depend on the number of customers and will likely vary from about two to 10 cars. When the Tesla Model X debuts, it will have the same service policy, Musk said. But he hedged on Tesla's "third-generation vehicles."
"I'm hopeful we'll be able to do that, but we may have to unbundle some things to make the cars affordable," he said.
Musk was asked about the kinds of service complaints Tesla Motors has heard about from its customers.
"It varies," he said. "It depends on which part of the country you are in. In some parts of the country we've had great service. (But) we didn't quite anticipate the right mixture of product in every market."
In Los Angeles, for example, Tesla has been operating out of one service center instead of three. Musk said that "choke point" has been eliminated and three centers will provide service in the area.
As another component of its beefed-up service initiative, Tesla said it is also putting in place a valet service, in which the car is picked up at any specified location and replaced with a loaner.
The loaner cars will also be available for "immediate purchase," Tesla said, with the aim of avoiding an "aging fleet of overused cars."
"The loaners will be available for immediate purchase at a price that is lower by 1 percent per month of age and $1 per mile," Tesla said in a statement.
The customer would pay the price differential along with the aforementioned adjustment.
"If somebody likes the service loaner more than their actual car, they can keep it," said Musk.
The annual service check-up is also optional. Even if a customer never brings in the car, the warranty is still valid, according to the company. The thinking is that electric cars don't need replacement items such as brake pads, because most of the braking energy is regeneratively captured by the motor and returned to the battery, the company noted.
Tesla also said all battery damage is covered by warranty, "including improper maintenance or unintentionally leaving the pack at a low state of charge for years on end."
Musk said the eight-year warranty wouldn't apply if you "take a blow torch to the battery pack, blow it up or use it for target practice." In other words, if the customer intentionally sets out to destroy the battery pack.
"I don't want someone worrying about whether they read the manual," Musk said. "Any product that needs a manual to work is broken."
The warranty is transferable and Tesla will replace it with a better battery if technology improves.
Musk also said a Supercharger announcement is due in a week or two.
Edmunds says: Tesla Motors spruces up its image with what it says is the "world's best service and warranty program."

More Thoughts
Fear is what drives me to weariness, what grabs at those roots and plays demented songs. This is what I loath about my life right now, the unbidden fears that gurgle up like swamp gas and belch their stink into my day. I really don't need this. My fears are unrealistic and, dare I say, silly. They are out of balance. Fear is valuable, it provides guidance and works to keep us safe. When it is the primary driver, when reason, compassion and love are weakened, or, worse, obliterated, my life is worsened. Joy withers, droops, and risks death. Live without joy is only an empty husk, tree bark with no tree within. It is dead, and a death I wish for no one.

Career Thoughts and Personal Observations
For many years I'd considered a career in IT as I have something of an aptitude and a modicum of interest. However, I soundly lack passion. Today on my train journey into
I understand that there are many levels and tiers to one's career, and that one can pursue a work-path remarkably different from one's passions. However, at this point at least, such is not my path. I would rather have my interests and passions before me, and driving my daily life, as opposed to being infrequent musings. Perhaps that will change. I hope not.

Local News | No rental tax for Flexcar — for now | Seattle Times Newspaper
The notion that Flexcar is in the rental car business is similar to saying a condominium is in the rental house business. People are all co-owners of the cars, and that is a critical difference. With Flexcars, they're timesharing, not renting. I'm surprised that this critical difference hasn't been pointed out yet.

Microsoft and Online Storage
This move by Microsoft is, to me, a clever and well timed one. Yes, it's a bit lacking when you consider that one can't edit the documents without Office, but excellent when you consider that they're trying to expand, not cannibalize themselves. And, I do believe, that the ability to edit online, independent of having Office software on a particular computer, will be forthcoming. They're staying relevant, but not jumping too hard on the cutting edge, which is a good way to bleed.


text: Friede Goldman Halter, Inc. (FGH) received milestone dates from the U.S Bankruptcy Court regarding the sale of Halter Marine. The Court auction date has been set for July 16th 2002 with the sale hearing to take place on July 23rd 2002. A copy of the procedures for participating in the auction is available from counsel for the Selling Debtors, Douglas G. Walter, Andrews & Kurth, Mayor, Day, Caldwell & Keeton, 600 Travis, Suite 4200, Houston, Texas 77002. The sale contemplates an agreement for the purchase of all the operating assets and properties of Halter, including the assets at Halter Pascagoula, Halter Moss Point, Moss Point Marine, Halter Port Bienville, Halter Lockport, and Halter Gulfport East including the Corporate Headquarters, Gulfport Central and Three Rivers. The closing is expected to take place in early August 2002. "There have been a number of parties considering Halter for possible inclusion in their operating platforms because of its strong market presence," said Jack Stone, Principal, Glass & Associates, Inc. and Chief Restructuring Advisor to FGH. "We're pleased with this interest; the sale of Halter Marine is a major step in providing a return to the creditors. The continued loyalty of the employees, customers and suppliers has made this possible."

New Delhi: Australia skipper Steve Smith won the toss and decide to bat first in the first Test match at Maharashtra Cricket Association stadium in Pune on Thursday.
Australia managed to reach 84/1 at the end of first session. India were made to toil hard by a confident Australia before the visitors suffered double blow just ahead of the lunch on the opening day of the first cricket Test.
Umesh Yadav gave India exactly what they needed in the 28th over by dismissing David Warner on 38. But David Warner was not the lone batsman to return back to pavilion, his opening partner Matt Renshaw had a bad stomach and declared himself retired ill to make way for two new batsmen at the crease.

How to detect Odometer Tampering?
How tо lоok for signs of Odometer tampering?
If уоu аrе planning to buy а refurbished оr а uѕеd Car, onе thing you ѕhould check fоr is odometer tampering. Often, sellers try tо increase the car's resale value bу tampering the odometer. There are dіffеrent ways bу which fraudsters alter the Analog or Digital Odometer tо hide facts regarding car's mileage. Anyways there аre ways аnd means tо detect аnd find оut if there hаѕ beеn аnу foul play. Here arе ѕomе tips уоu mаy follow tо identify аny tampering іn Digital оr Analog Odometer.
Analog Odometer Tampering:
Relatively older Used Cars wіll have an Analog Odometer. Here аre the signs yоu should loоk to detect tampering in Analog Odometers:
- Check if yоu ѕee any misaligned digits. Check closely fоr numbers оf larger denomination.
- Check іf there аre аnу screws missing in thе dashboard near the gauge cluster
- Check if the dashboard iѕ uѕed or if it іѕ new. Check whether the instrument panel hаѕ been replaced.
Digital Odometer Tampering:
Most modern vehicles possess а Digital Odometer. Here аre а fеw signs that wіll reveal to you tampering of digital odometers.
- Examine car tires with regard to wear аnd tear, іf the four tires match onе аnothеr aѕ well as the original company sales specifications.
- Inspect the seat, gas pedal, brake pedal аnd upholstery deterioration.
- Conduct аn automobile history report that reveals the automobile's paper trail ѕіnсе it pertains to odometer issues, accidents, title brand аѕ well аs frame damage.
- Conduct an engine аs well aѕ transmission fluid analysis. Experts examine the fluid bу parts-per-million, evaluating data comparing with original maker's specifications tо determine how the car wаѕ maintained.
By carrying оut theѕе inspections, yоu сan determine if аn automobile's engine or transmission parts have bеen raced, overheated, filled wіth additives to conceal mechanical issues оr flooded
Some additional checks which will help yоu ensure thаt уou аrе gettіng vаluе for уоur money аrе аlѕо mentioned.
- If yоu are planning tо buy a cеrtain Used Car, make ѕurе tо get it checked by a trusted mechanic.
- Take а test drive оf the car. During the test drive, check whether the Odometer sticks.
- Check whether the car haѕ аnу service stickers of oil change оr tune up. These mаy reveal thе car's true age.
- Look оut fоr the vehicle's title. See whеther thе mileage ѕeems altered on thе title.
- Also check fоr thе date whеn thе title waѕ issued. See whеther the car wаs sold aѕ ѕоon аs thе title was issued. This mіght as well raise а red flag.
- Check fоr signs оf wear and deterioration all оvеr thе vehicle. Check the carpets, dashboard, upholstery, arm rests, seats, pedals and steering wheels. Often they reveal thе true age оf thе car.
If уоu detect any flaw or signs оf fraud, іt is аlwауs bеttеr to avoid the deal. Fraudsters tamper with the Odometer tо increase the used car's resale vаluе and make it аррeаr rеlаtіvеly new. Cars wіth tampered Odometers may have a high chance оf bеіng cars that have had а troublesome history. Buying cars wіthout conducting the proper checks may make you pay heavily on repairs later. These minor checks and words of caution can save yоu a great deal of money.
If you are importing Used Japanese trucks and , then you will rarely encounter such odometer tampering problems. Odometer tampering is a crime in Japan and it can be easily revealed by the documents accompanying the used car.

There were just too many positive performances in Week 3 of the college football season to put a heavy focus on the negatives, so here's my lopsided version of the stock report.
Stock up
1. Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett
Mallett completed 21 of 33 passes for 380 yards in a 31-24 win over Georgia, and no pass was more important than the winning, 40-yard connection to WR Greg Childs with 15 seconds remaining. Mallett read the Cover 2 defense, kept the backside safety honest by initially staring down a front-side receiver and then delivered a strike in the soft spot of the zone coverage between the corner and the backside safety. The safety was late arriving and thus vulnerable to Childs' double-move because he was charging so hard to get back into the play.

Oakwood, Georgia (PressExposure) January 30, 2009 -- PondExpo, headquartered in North East Georgia, offers a unique line of products to both residential and industrial customers. We have operated a design, build, repair and refurbishing pond and water feature business for 10 years, transforming high maintenance, poorly operating ponds into very low maintenance, crystal clear features that anyone would be proud of explained Bill Mason, President and Founder of PondExpo. Because of our extensive hands-on experience installing pond equipment that really works, we have been able to offer that same equipment to all 50 states at the PondExpo site. We have set new sales records every year for ten years, and we feel that since we offer a limited line of excellent products that provide our customers with the very best water quality and clarity, and low maintenance too, that prospects for PondExpo in 2009 are once again excellent, Bill said. This coupled with our willingness to discuss and analyze a customer's pond or water feature, and to make recommendations for properly sizing new pond equipment, places PondExpo in a very enviable position.
PondExpo was founded 10 years ago by Bill and Yvonne Mason in North East Georgia, and was the result of their active pond equipment design and installation business operating throughout Georgia, Alabama, and the Carolinas. We found that not all pond products are created equally, they said. That some work better than others, and so we began installing only those products that had proven themselves to be low maintenance, high quality, extremely effective products. We call them "Time Proven Products" as they have proven themselves over time. These are the products offered to all 50 states at the PondExpo site. A limited number of critical products for your pond or water feature. Products that work. Time Proven Products.
We couple this unique product offering with our ability and interest in helping customers and prospective customers size their pond equipment in order to achieve the desired results for their water feature. Volume of waterfall flow, proper pond or water feature circulation and volume turnover, rate of filtration and rate of algae elimination are a few of the issues that we regularly are helping customers with.
We will continue to seek new high quality products, test them as they are discovered, and for those products that fit the "Time Proven Products" requirement, offer those new products at the PondExpo site.

The Office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) announced that she will hold a press conference with D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray and leaders of national organizations on Tuesday, May 29, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. in 2456 Rayburn House Office Building to describe the network of 100 organizations whose members will contact members of the House and Senate appropriations committees to protect D.C.'s home-rule rights in the fiscal year 2013 D.C. appropriations bill. Joining the Congresswoman and the Mayor will be NARAL Pro-Choice America President Nancy Keenan, Center for Reproductive Rights Policy Counsel for Federal Legislation Julianna Gonen, and DC Vote Executive Director Ilir Zherka.
The focus of the press conference will be protecting the reproductive rights of women in D.C. because Republicans and the National Right to Life Committee have attacked the city's abortion laws this year, but the coalition includes organizations fighting to protect D.C.'s gun safety, marriage equality, and HIV-AIDS laws, all of which have been threatened by Republicans.
"The coalition of 100 organizations was very effective last year because it was their members, who have voting representation in Congress, in addition to D.C. residents, who were contacting their members of the House and Senate," Norton said. "The members of these organizations understood the outrage when unaccountable members of Congress try to dictate the use of local funds. They also understood that the D.C. riders at hand have important national consequences and that allowing the District to stand alone would ultimately embolden Republican members and special interests to seek ways to reach other Americans with the same far right, retrograde policies."
