"Everybody in my building is on drugs."
So said a nine-year-old boy, who delivered this bit of news with a heartbreaking air of acceptance, of resignation to the way things just were. He was referring to the eight-unit apartment building where he and family found themselves living after moving halfway across the country. His assessment of his neighbors conformed with my own, for the building was known throughout the neighborhood as being home to trouble.
I met the boy one summer day while taking refuge from the heat. I had parked my police car beneath the spreading boughs of a large tree, one of the few spots in the neighborhood that offered a patch of shade. He rode his bicycle down the sidewalk past me two or three times, slowing a little with each successive pass to allow himself a better look inside the car and at all the hardware it contained. I recall doing much the same when I was his age.
On the next pass I called him over and invited him to sit in the front seat, which he did with great enthusiasm. He checked out the car's computer and my flashlight, but of course he was most interested in the emergency lights, which he delighted in turning on and off and on and off.
We continued to meet in this fashion once or twice a week over that summer, and before long I met his sisters (one of whom was his twin) and their parents. They had moved from Colorado, they said, to be near relatives in southern California. They had heard that things were rough in parts of Los Angeles but they weren't prepared for the life they found in this building and on this block.
They couldn't afford much. The father was disabled, and the family got along on government assistance and charity from their church, so when they found the apartment on the tree-lined street they considered it a blessing. But they could smell the marijuana and hear the loud music coming from the other apartments all day and all night, they said, and some of the young men in the building sold drugs on the street.
The kids adopted a stray puppy, a scrawny little mutt they found wandering the street one day. They named him Lucky. But even inexpensive dog food was a luxury beyond the family's means, so they fed it whatever meager scraps were left from their own table. I took to dropping off cans of dog food from time to time, and sometimes I chipped in for the family's food or medicine or for some little toy for the kids. When I dropped in my presence was greeted with stony silence from the other tenants in the building.
One day I was parked in my usual spot under the tree and saw my little friend riding down the sidewalk toward me. But instead of stopping at my car as I expected him to, he just kept on riding as if he didn't see me.
Some of the boy's neighbors, I came to learn, took a dim view of the boy's friendliness with the police, and they had dispatched an older, larger boy to teach him a lesson. My little friend had taken a beating, one that achieved its intended purpose. It was many days before the boy would so much as look at me again, and even then it was only when he was safely out of the view of his neighbors.
At the other end of the block lives a man named Curtis, with whom I also visit when I'm in the neighborhood. Curtis and his wife live in the very house he grew up in, having inherited the place when Curtis's parents passed away. Curtis went to Vietnam as a young man, then came home to raise a family and pursue a career building helicopters for Hughes Aircraft.
One day I was talking with Curtis in the front yard of his home. Across the street and down the way a bit is a house that, like the apartment building at the end of the block, is known for trouble. Three or four young men sat on the front steps of the house, eying us as they often did with wary contempt. I told Curtis what had happened to my little friend. They were getting the little boy ready, he said, motioning to the young men on the steps. They were getting him ready to be just like them.
Whether he turns out that way or not I'll never know. The family moved away last year, one hopes to a better, safer neighborhood. It would almost have to be.
The street today is much different from when Curtis was a child. "When I was growing up," he said, motioning up and down the block, "every one of these houses had a mother and a father." And, he said, any one of those mothers and fathers had the implicit authority to discipline any of the others' children. "These days you can hardly find a father anywhere."
The result, on this block and on countless others around Los Angeles, is feral packs of young men roaming the streets, governed only by their most primal of appetites.
Alarmed at a recent rise in gang crime in Los Angeles, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and LAPD Chief William Bratton have announced a series of new anti-gang initiatives for the city, on which they will spend millions upon millions of tax dollars. Most of it will be wasted, of course, for the government simply cannot replace what families are unable or unwilling to provide. They could spend a billion dollars, or a trillion for that matter, but unless someone finds a way to keep all those fathers involved in their children's lives, nothing much will change. Not ever.

Emotional Trauma Possible at Lone Star College - North Harris Campus
Mental Health America of Greater Houston is deeply alarmed by the shooting that took place yesterday at the Lone Star College-North Harris campus—a place in our own back yard. We are thankful that there were no casualties; and our thoughts are with those who were physically and emotionally injured during this emergency situation. With this incident occurring only weeks after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, we are certain that the intensity of this dangerous situation caused many at Lone Star College, another educational institution, to feel extreme fear and anxiety about their safety and security as gunshots sounded on their own campus.
While we believe students, faculty, staff and others on the Lone Star College-North Harris campus will successfully cope with their trauma, we know that some individuals may have trouble getting beyond the negative emotions brought on by the stress of living through this frightening event.
As wellness advocates, Mental Health America of Greater Houston is concerned about the emotional and psychological distress that experiencing the threat of harm or witnessing serious harm can create. We encourage friends, families and others to be good listeners to someone who has gone through a traumatic event such as the shooting. When a person talks about his or her experiences it helps them to cope with what has happened to them. If it seems that they are having trouble working through the trauma, direct them to a mental health professional such as a counselor or therapist. A mental health professional can offer additional help which would include an evaluation for a mental health disorder. In some instances, being overly stressed after tragedy or a scary event, places a person at risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD—a treatable medical condition.
A person experiencing symptoms of emotional distress or possibly PTSD could have:
• Recurrent nightmares or flashbacks of the event or having the sense of reliving the experience
• Intense distress, fear, helplessness, or horror in response to cues that trigger recollections of the event
• Efforts to avoid thoughts, feelings, or conversations associated with the traumatic event
• Efforts to avoid activities, places, or people that trigger recollections of the event
• Developing phobias of situations, activities or objects that serve as reminders of the event
• "Blocking out" memories of the event or an inability to recall aspects of the event
Health and mental health professionals suggest that when symptoms of stress and anxiety persist for longer than four weeks following a traumatic event a person may be diagnosed with PTSD. Sometimes symptoms of stress may take a bit longer and can emerge months after the event.
Although the memories of a traumatic event do not go away, a mental health professional can help those who have experienced trauma to manage the responses to the memories and the feelings they bring up. People who hear or see trauma in the media, or who are associated with people involved in a dangerous event can also be at risk of developing mental health concerns. A mental health professional can also help them cope with their feelings.
For more information on coping with trauma or PTSD or to find a therapist or counselor, visit the resources link on Mental Health America of Greater Houston at www.mhahouston.org or contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 713-522-5161.

text: Hello, I started writing Lisp bindings for a C library with CFFI, but I'm not sure that this is the best way to go, or if I should use SBCL FFI instead. I couldn't find any good information about the advantages and disadvantages of CFFI compared to the SBCL FFI (except that these are limited to SBCL of course, but this isn't a problem for my use-case). Is there any recommendation which one to use? Is maybe one of them (probably SBCL FFI) only kept for backward compatibility and its use not recommended for new projects? I'd be very glad about any help on this topic. Thank you, Arne

Heart of Lions kept snapping at the heels of leaders Asante Kotoko with a 1-0 win over Medeama to cut down the point difference to seven in second place.
A stoppage time winner by Prince Acquah separated the two sides as Lions are now in contention to win this season's First Capital Plus Premier League.
Medeama were close to earning a point but were undone by Acquah's 89th minute winner as the Tarkwa-based side picked up three points from four outstanding matches.
Lions are now three points better than third-place Hearts of Oak.
The league resumes on Wednesday and Lions face a difficult trip to relegation-threatened Amidaus Professionals.
Leaders Kotoko also travel to New Edubiase.

Romney Regains Lead in Florida, as Newt Faces "Coordinated Attacks"
According to an Insider/Advantage poll:
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney apparently has reversed a surge by Newt Gingrich to retake the momentum in the Florida primary...The poll shows that Republicans most likely to vote in the state's closed primary now favor Romney over Gingrich by 40 to 32 percent. Rep. Ron Paul has 9 percent, while former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum has 8 percent.
According to Rush Limbaugh, Newt is the victim of "coordinated attacks," which have clearly done serious damage.
Ann Coulter, on her own, has spent the last month castigating Newt as the anti-Christ, while propping Romney up as the lone savior of America and conservatism.
Likewise, Glenn Beck has spent the last several weeks disparaging Newt as a "progressive" (according to Beck, if one does not agree with Ron Paul's strict prescriptions for domestic libertarianism, then they are a progressive).
Respected foreign policy expert Elliot Abrams wrote a scathing piece about Newt for National Review, accusing the Presidential candidate of "misleading" the public on his relationship with Reagan. (Check out this PJ post for a rebuttal to Abrams account).

Food quality
Room quality
After all the hype I was totally underwhelmed.
The room that we had was of average size and overcrowded by a large kingsize bed. Certainly nothing like the website photo's and more like a premier inn, with the exception of the individual wallpaper. The room had no windows looking outside just two rooflights which closed during the night waking us up. This gave a claustrophobic atmosphere to the room. Whilst breakfast was tasty it left me hungry and certainly not enough to start the day. The website shows a beautiful old building, which is what we expected, only to find a modern, characterless establishment with no ambiance. Value for money - this was not.

We didn't stop in for dinner, but will on our next visit, but the breakfast was gorgeous!!.

ATLANTA -- Empty seats and dampened enthusiasm colored four days of meetings by the Governor's Education Reform Commission this week as members considered how to improve a sweeping school-reform law that won't even affect the first student for months.
Many chairs sat empty throughout the week, with 20 of the 57 commission members missing their appointed committee meetings. Staff gave the commission three weeks notice of the meetings, yet several members had already made travel plans, including Gov. Roy Barnes who was leading a delegation on a trade mission to England and Israel.
Officials spent four days priming the commission's committees on the current state of public education so they could advise the governor on matters not fully addressed in the reform bill passed in March. But several members questioned the legitimacy of the commission and weren't clear about their roles.
''The rules and responsibilities make sense to me and seem to be clear,'' said Sonny Walker, during Tuesday's committee meeting. ''Why exactly are we here, and what is our purpose?''
Ron Newcomb, the governor's education aide, reassured the members their input was needed to help further school reform, but Walker said he wanted to know how their suggestions would be used.
''The education reform bill didn't even scratch the surface,'' Newcomb said. ''The governor is asking a group of citizens to give him some advice and council on several very key issues.''
Among the topics to be addressed are the leadership training of principals and the success of teacher colleges in preparing educators. Last year's meetings dealt more with monitoring and improving student achievement.
Walker said he questioned the commission's role after discovering many items in House Bill 1187 weren't brought before the commission for discussion. For example, the controversial provision to end tenure for new teachers was never debated during the commission's meetings last year before the bill was introduced.
State school superintendent Linda Schrenko said, ''I feel like there have already been some decisions made, and I don't think there is a lot of value placed on the commission's input.''
The Republican superintendent was a member of the commission last year and was highly critical of the bill produced by Barnes, a Democrat. She hasn't been assigned to a committee this year, and though she was in town, she didn't attend a single session of the commission. Thursday she said she wouldn't be very visible at the commission's summer meetings.
Despite her feelings, she said she planned to work with Department of Education staff to develop presentations for the commission and would be involved with presenting ideas and suggestions.
A full commission meeting is scheduled for July. Committees will meet again next month to discuss position papers presented on the key issues facing each group.
State officials said while attendance wasn't perfect at the meetings, they were pleased with the turnout.
''The level of interest with this commission hasn't been a problem,'' Newcomb said. ''Not a single member has stepped forward and said they don't want to serve anymore.''

The Wheeling Jesuit baseball team was swept aside soundly in a weekend series against the Concord Mountain Lions, dropping the third and fourth games in Sunday's double-header 9-0, and 7-0.
WJU dropped all four games of the series, only managing one run while the Mountain Lions piled in 27, and move into second place in the MEC standings.
In game one of Sunday's double-header, CU jumped out to a 3-0 lead and didn't look back taking the 9-0 win. WJU's Ben Standiford picked up the loss on the mound, allowing four earned runs and taking three K's from facing 25 batters, before being relieved by Josh Kernik.
The WJU batters only managed two hits in the shut out loss from the bats of Patrick Ammar and substitute 2nd basemen Chad Burge. Concord pitcher Chris Kelly pitched a complete game and took six strikeouts.
In game two's 7-0 shutout loss, Cardinal pitcher Ethan Weiss picked up his third loss of the year (5-3 overall) allowing five runs on seven hits before being relieved by Dillon Sunnafrank who pitched an inning before Joe San Fellipo came in to close.
CU Pitcher Zach Kelly threw a three-hitter trough five innings, striking out four Cardinals before being relieved by Tim Leather to close the game out for Concord.
WJU's Tony Connacher led the Cardinals with two base hits.
The Cardinals return to action on Wednesday in a mid-week double header against the visiting Blue Knights from Urbana, who sit in third in the MEC standings. First pitch is scheduled for 1pm.

Strong commitment
At Bankia we are determined to build a business based on strong principles, in the belief that values such as hard work, team work, innovation and solidarity create value for the society in which we live. Supporting social initiatives in the world of sport, culture and business therefore helps us to express these principles and engage the whole of society.
Bankia understands the importance of young people and creates specific programs to support them. This is the reason behind Bankia's unwavering commitment to providing vocational education. Since the start of 2014 we have signed collaboration agreements to provide vocational education and internships with ten regional governments, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, and with private associations, to carry out projects which, in turn, enhance the reputation and strengthen the vocational education available in Spain.
The company recently reached an agreement with the Bertelsmann Foundation to work together to develop vocational education and internships in this country, promoting an educational model that aligns education with companies' needs, helping to reduce youth unemployment in Spain. Bankia also sponsors the "Andalusian Awards of the Future" and "Young Talent Awards" –celebrating their eighth and third editions this year respectively– as a way of recognising young people in Andalusia and Valencia who are outstanding in their fields of sport, science, social action, culture and enterprise. Furthermore, the company also sponsors the "Carné Joven" (a young people's discount card) of the regional governments of Valencia, Castilla y León, the Canary Islands, Castilla–La Mancha and the autonomous city of Ceuta. The card offers young people a variety of discounts and exclusive benefits in their regions, but can also be used as a financial card at no additional cost. More than 800,000 young people currently enjoy these advantages.
Bankia has created a specific program to support Valencia's music associations (Bankia Escolta València) in order to develop musical activities that help to boost, protect and promote Valencia's musical culture, represented by the band associations. The program seeks to develop Valencia's musical culture through a high-impact initiative that helps to drive social change.
To encourage employment among young musicians and as a way of promoting music among Spanish society, in 2015 Bankia created the Bankia Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra seeks to discover new musical talent, recognise dedication, offer continuous training and work, and to help the most talented young instrumentalists who have completed their formal training to find employment. In 2016 we are continuing to support the employment prospects of these young musicians, in recognition of their hard work and talent, by creating a new program to help instrumentalists, focussed on the concerts due to take place across different parts of Spain this year.
Bankia also sponsors other projects in the world of business, such as events promoted by the Association for Management Progress (APD), business conferences with the media, and a comprehensive program of conferences, discussions and round table events that bring together managers and companies in search of progress in today's difficult environment. We also take part in various trade fairs and exhibitions throughout Spain, such as FORINVEST, Salón Mi Empresa, Spain StartUp, etc.

Get Valentines Day Ideas 2017 For Him/Her, Romantic Sweetheart Girlfriend or Boyfriends. Your girlfriend has been emailing you, pinning on Pinterest or sweetly whispering into your ear, here's the message loud and clear: Valentine's Day 2017 is coming!
What you do depends on how long you've been bearing in mind one another and what level of romance you want to bring to Cupid's day. So if you're out of Valentines Day gift ideas - or can't even think of one! - We have you covered. Here's what to do this Valentine's Day 2017 to ensure it's not only awesome, but will likely, make you lucky, too.
Valentines Day Ideas Her, Romantic Girlfriend
Valentines Day Ideas For Her…
So you love the girl, she likes you, you haven't made it official, but you could see it heading that way. A good way to turn up the heat and move, could-be long distance relationship forward is by inviting her to dinner. Though you might be one of the 62% of men who think it's just a Hallmark holiday, 55% of women disagree. Invite your girlfriend to go to dinner and grab Valentines Day cocktails, and if it goes well, suggest a night-cap at home.
Recently You've Just Said "I Love You'
If you're at the point where you're finishing phone calls with those three words "I Love You', Valentines Day 2017 is likely one of the first romantic holidays that you and your girlfriend will share together. In this case, sending Valentine's Day Love Messages or flowers to her office will really flatter her. When she receives them, not only will her co-workers ohh-and-ahh, making her feel special and loved, but I bet she'll surprise you with something sexy in return.
Valentines Day Ideas For Her: Dinner on the Beach
Celebrate your love with a romantic 'toes-in-the-sand dinner' at incredible beachside restaurants. Imagine a moonlight dinner and a sky filled with brightly shining stars reflecting on the water; these magical conditions will surely create the most romantic Valentine's day 2017 of your life.
Valentines Day Ideas For Wife:
Give your wife a dozen roses. On each stem attach a note for a future date—to do something that she would enjoy.
- Happy Valentines Day Messages
- Valentines Day Quotes For Her

- Give a Kinky Kards
- For Special Naughty Knot
- Personalized Teddy Bear in a Gift Tin
- Personalized Heart Keyrings
- A special Chocolate Bar

Valentines Day Ideas 2017 For Him, Romantic Boyfriends
Valentines Day Ideas Him
Valentine's Day is the occasion when you can experience both. Tell your Romantic Boyfriends, "I love you" as Valentine's Day gift.
On small pieces of paper, write down every kind of kiss that you can think of (examples: passionate, on the cheek, etc.). Then fill an inexpensive red felt bag with your "kisses" and give it to your Boyfriends.
Make a book about why you love your Boyfriends and why you are thankful for him. The girl who tells valentines day ideas for him wrote, "He loved it! Said it was the best Valentine's Day gift he has ever gotten. And it helped me to focus on the things I love about my husband and not his shortcomings."
Take your sweetie on a scavenger hunt. Ask him to answer riddles to find the clues to items that you placed somewhere around town. The last item should give instructions that lead to your Valentine's Day activities.
Fill a large box with helium balloons and special gifts for Valentines Day 2017. The Valentine's Day gifts for him included "new sleep shorts for him and a new nightgown for me, a box of chocolate-covered strawberries and red napkins ... some new candles and a romantic CD. He loved the weekend."
Make a meal with symbols of love. Examples: Write I love you with string beans, make a tart in the shape of a heart …Hide little heart candies in your partner's shoes, coat, car, etc.
On individual note cards, write why you love your spouse. Insert these cards in a small photo album.
Preferably, send a card postmarked in a town that has a romantic name such as Loveland, Colorado; Valentine, Texas; or Romance, Arkansas.
Is your guy a sports fan? Why not write why he's a catch on a baseball or a football? Just a warning: Upon opening it, he may think you scored an autographed ball from a sports legend, so don't be miffed if he's all like "Um, this is cool, too."
Valentines Day Ideas For Long Distance Relationship, Valentines Day Ideas For Workplace, Valentines Day Ideas For Teenage Couples
- Make fortune cookies out of red fruit roll-ups.
- Freeze flowers in ice cubes for a gorgeous twist on cocktails.
- Made heart-shaped ice cubes with pretty pomegranate seeds inside!
- Create an origami heart with a meaningful quote.
- Buy a cool blackboard mug and write a cute note on it in the morning.
- Wear hearts in a totally chic, non-cheesy way.
- Write a bunch of activities to do together on popsicle sticks and when you're feeling spontaneous, randomly pick one.
- Decorate with ombré glitter Champagne bottles.
Another Valentines Day idea: Give your sweetie printable 'naughty' vouchers. A little cliché, but hey, it's February 14.
Valentines Day ideas for school Sweetheart
If you've been with your sweetheart for years and you both remember carving your names on trees as teenagers, it's time to recreate that artwork in the comfort of your home.
For The Lover Of All Things Mugs
We know she means a lot to you, but we also know how much she loves her mug collection. Give her something personalized on V-Day with this hand-illustrated mug.
For The Woman Who Hates Valentine's Day
Not everyone loves the holiday of love. If your gal is anti-Valentine's Day, we're sure this hilarious phone case will either make her laugh...or just hate it even more.
Have fun on 14th February 2017, and remember: Love is not meant to be given and received just on Valentine's Day. Instead, it's to be practiced every single day of the entire year.

I offer online drum tracks for bands, composers, and singer-songwriters, and record most of them at my own studio. My drums are always set up and mic'd, and I am able to do as many revisions as necessary to ensure that you get exactly what you're looking for- we're not done until you're 100% satisfied. I can deliver Pro Tools or Logic project files, the individual audio stems of each microphone/track, and a stereo mix down of the entire drum kit. Additionally, I can often turn these tracks around in as little as 24 hours should you find yourself on a tight deadline. Contact Me to discuss your project or get a quote. Below are some examples of my work:
I also offer drum tracks recorded at Coupe Studios in Boulder, CO, where I am one of the house engineers. You can learn more about the studio here . Each of these sessions requires a unique setup and teardown of all the drums and microphones, and as a result I'm unable to offer free revisions for these tracks. To ensure that you get exactly what you need, I demo out the tracks at my studio and send you mp3 mixes until you're happy with all of the parts and performances. This ensures that you know exactly what you'll be getting before I book the session to record the final drum tracks. Turnaround time is typically not more than 2 weeks for these tracks, and often much less, but is subject to availability at the studio. Contact Me to discuss your project and get a quote.

text: OceanConnect's board of directors and shareholders reflected on two years of strong growth at the company's annual meeting, held yesterday in Oslo. "I am pleased to report to our shareholders that in fewer than two years, OceanConnect has become the only fuel service combining traditional brokerage with live, online competition. The results speak for themselves: with growth of more than 40 percent per annum, the outlook is good for continued growth," OceanConnect President Thomas Reilly said. "In the coming year we will leverage our status as the only full-service bunker brokerage, offering online transactions, traditional bunker services, risk management, and comprehensive spend analyses." Reilly and OceanConnect shareholders discussed the company's progress over the past year. In 2002, Chemoil, DS Norden, MarineProvider, Lazard, and Booz Allen & Hamilton joined OceanConnect's diverse equity base. OceanConnect expanded into Korea with the recent addition of S.I. Shim, Asia's most respected broker. Bob Fitzgerald, the founder of Bunkerfuels, joined OceanConnect earlier in the year. "In addition, OceanConnect launched a new transaction platform that allows speedy negotiation and firm counteroffers, useful for ports where there are only one or two suppliers," Reilly said. Collin Lewis, OceanConnect Board Member, noted that OceanConnect's strong annual growth was testament to the company's unique value proposition which combines the advantages of technology with proven brokerage expertise. "OceanConnect's technology brings transparency to an opaque market. OceanConnect's transparency and personal service help our customers find the best possible deal on bunkers," Lewis said. "Through OceanConnect, DS Norden's fleet is consistently saving on fuel costs in all of our key ports," said Michael Steenfeldt, Operations Manager at Dampskibsselskabet Norden A/S. After obtaining positive results from OceanConnect's services, DS Norden acquired an equity stake in the company in January 2002.

As with any decision you make, having an abortion will lead you to asking "what if?" kinds of questions. So will having a child. I've known many people who have had abortions (some have had several) and none of them have "suffered emotionally" from it-- they all viewed it as the best decision they could make for the circumstances and don't wish they could do it any differently (except maybe not get pregnant to begin with). It was their choice to make, just like this is yours; don't let yourself be guilt tripped into going against your instinct-- and I mean that for any decision you choose to make.
You're an adult. You being pregnant is very unlikely to disappoint your parents. Surprise, maybe. By in large, parents love their children and support them. It will help if you have made a decision by the time you talk to them (and, frankly, and abortion isn't really their business, so if that's the path you choose you don't need to talk with them about it at all). On the other hand, if you're close with your mother and value her input, don't be afraid to talk with her about this.
Based on the information in your post, having this child wouldn't be the worst thing (supportive BF, decent income, stable housing situation), and it seems to me like that's what you're leaning toward anyway. Do you have any friends you can trust to talk to about this? There are also counselors you can talk to... it sounds like you're in Canada, which I think has Planned Parenthood (Or, rather, the Canadian Federation for Sexual Health). You can find people there to talk to who will be supportive and informative, but won't pressure you one way or another.
And remember, while you're young and feel unprepared, there is no "perfect" time to bring a child into the world. Good luck and feel free to PM me if you'd like someone to talk to.

text: Celebs, Saks Pitch In for Charity: Water Charity: Water has teamed up with Saks Fifth Avenue... By Sophia Chabbott on April 9, 2008 For a decade, Scott Harrison lived the high life.As a Manhattan club promoter who worked at boîtes such as Lotus, Nells and Marquee, Harrison, now 32, partied into the wee hours. Now he calls that period in his life "selfish and sycophantic" and is out to eradicate the problem of Third World countries not having enough clean water through his nonprofit organization Charity: Water.Tonight will mark the premiere of a public service announcement starring Jennifer Connelly, who takes her kids along to collect water with two jerricans from the Central Park Reservoir. It is directed by "Hotel Rwanda" director Terry George; the cinematographer is Ellen Kuras. The public service announcement will air on Fox during "American Idol's Idol Gives Back" this evening. The musician Beck has lent his music to another PSA.In addition, Charity: Water has teamed up with Saks Fifth Avenue. Starting Mother's Day, the retailer will sell black rubber bracelets with the Charity: Water logo. Through its stores, catalogues and Web site, the store will educate its shoppers about the organization and also offer wells for sale. All proceeds from the $5 bracelets will go to drilling for clean water. A client who buys a well can choose where it goes and Harrison will provide GPS coordinates so it can be looked up on Google Maps."He is an evangelist," said Terron Schaefer, Saks' group senior vice president of creative and marketing. "This is so much more than grassroots."Harrison also is in talks to partner with other fashion companies.The Philadelphia native's life took an about face when he decided to volunteer in Third World countries. In October 2004, the New York University photography major brought along his camera on a trip to Liberia and caught on film people suffering from contaminated water-related illnesses such as diarrhea, schistosomiasis and trachoma. "One in six people don't have access to clean water," said Harrison, adding that Africa, India and Bangladesh are the main problem areas.Clean water can be found nearly everywhere by way of underground lakes. A hand-dug well that can go 60 feet down costs $5,000 and a well with steel casing can cost up to $15,000 and procure seven million glasses of water a year for up to 1,000 people. In the past two years, the organization has raised $3 million and built 474 wells.Harrison also sells Charity: Water bottles for $20 at luxury salons, hotels and spas around the world. All of the proceeds go to the cause. Charity: Water is privately funded."I've sold $350 bottles of vodka at clubs for 10 years," mused Harrison. "I had a luxury experience. A $20 bottle of water is luxury." To access this article, click here to subscribe or click here to log in. load comments blog comments powered by Disqus

US Church notes on working for Christian Unity
Father Leo Walsh, Associate Director of the US bishops' Secretariat for Ecumenical and interreligious Affairs, notes that all Christians are called to be one but it won't happen tomorrow. With that in mind, he offers:
Ten Things to Know about Working for Christian Unity
The Commandment for Christian Unity Comes from Christ Himself. On the night before he died, Christ prayed, "May they all be one…so that the world may believe." (Jn 16:21ff) Christ prayed for it. We have to pray and work for it too.
The Biggest Stumbling Block to the Credibility of the Gospel is a Divided Christianity. Sadly, modern society is not well disposed towards religion in general and Christianity in particular. As the world has become more secular, one of the chief arguments people use against Christians is that we simply don't have our act together. We need to change that perception if we want to be taken seriously.
Working for Christian Unity is Integral to the Life of the Church. The Apostle Paul constantly worked and prayed for unity in the Church. So too should today's Catholics. In his encyclical Ut Unum Sint, Pope John Paul II said: "Thus promoting Christian unity, is not just some sort of "appendix" which is added to the Church's traditional activity. Rather, ecumenism is an organic part of her life and work and consequently pervades all that she is and does..."
'Convergence' not 'Compromise' is the Key to Christian Unity. Working for Christian unity does not mean giving up what is essential to the Catholic faith simply to get along with other Christians. Rather, it is searching for ways to express the truth of the gospel. For Christians the Truth is not a something, but a someONE, and that is Jesus the Christ. Like a wagon wheel with Christ at the center and each Christian on the spokes, in the search for truth, the closer we get to Christ, the closer we get to one another.
Ecumenism Happens on Many Levels. Ecumenism can happen in a marriage where the spouses come from different Christian traditions or through a program between a parish and a local Orthodox, Protestant or Evangelical congregation. Or it could be on the diocesan, national, or international level.
The First Work of Unity is Prayer. Christians can and should pray together for unity. When we join our prayers for unity to the prayer of Christ, then unity is possible. This is a sign of the real, but imperfect communion which we share in our common baptism. However, because we are not in full communion, Catholics should not receive the Eucharist in other churches and vice versa.
The Second Work of Unity is Common Work and Witness. Working together in areas of common concern is a powerful step toward unity. What we can do together, we should do together, especially in acts of charity. Many parishes and congregations work together to run common food pantries, social service agencies, medical clinics and emergency response teams.
The Third Work of Unity is Dialogue. Once Christians have prayed and worked together, it makes sense to explore the beliefs, practices and doctrines we hold in common. Dialogue starts with seeking to know the other and often there is more that unites than divides us. When we understand where we converge, we can begin to honestly explore the theological and practical issues that still divide us.
Apathy and Proselytism are Opposed to Unity. We live in a privileged time. The animosities that brought about a divided Christianity are no longer present. Yet we cannot sit back and do nothing. Likewise, proselytism, or the deliberate targeting of another Christian or group of Christians for the sole purpose of getting them to reject their church to join another, is not allowed. Some people may feel called in conscience to change from one tradition to another, but "sheep stealing" is unacceptable.
Achieving Unity is Going to Take a Long, Long Time.We have lived in a divided Christianity for almost a thousand years. Christian unity is not going to be achieved overnight. But by praying together, working together and engaging in charitable, deliberate dialogue, we can work with the Holy Spirit so that the prayer of Christ at the Last Supper, "that they all may be one…that the world may believe" will come to fruition. We have lived in a divided Christianity for almost a thousand years. Christian unity is not going to be achieved overnight. But by praying together, working together and engaging in charitable, deliberate dialogue, we can work with the Holy Spirit so that the prayer of Christ at the Last Supper, "that they all may be one…that the world may believe" will come to fruition.

The Witness: Shady Trees Puzzle Walkthrough
Below is a guide to activate the Shady Trees laser in The Witness
The Witness is an open-world, exploration-puzzle game, offering mystery and intrigue that is answered only by exploration and solving two-dimensional puzzles. Sometimes the answer to a puzzle can be found in the puzzle itself, and sometimes you need to explore your environment.
Note: While we encourage everyone to at least try and complete The Witness without the use of guides, we understand that sometimes frustration can set in. Before spoiling it for yourself, take a break and return at a later time. If it still doesn't click, feel free to use the guide below.
The Shady Trees Walkthrough
The Shady Trees (Trophy name) laser in The Witness can be found locked behind a gate in the middle of the dense forest of yellow and red trees. As the name of the laser suggests, this puzzle's core mechanic relies on shade and relying on the nearby trees to complete the puzzles. There are two parts to this puzzle that must be completed to unlock both sides of the gate.
Hints: (if you don't want to complete spoil it):
- The first part of the puzzle requires you open a door and complete a lower portion first
- Pay particular attention to the shadows caused by the trees and the Sun. Let them be your guide.

Mythmakers and world builders of the first order, the Eddingses spin tales that make imaginations soar. Listeners have thrilled to The Belgariad and The Malloreon, magic-filled masterworks chronicling the timeless conflict between good and evil. But with those sagas brought to their triumphant conclusions, fans were left hungry for more. Now at last the wait is over. With The Redemption of Althalus, the Eddingses have created their first-ever stand-alone epic fantasy....
It would be sheer folly to try to conceal the true nature of Althalus, for his flaws are the stuff of legend. He is, as all men know, a thief, a liar, an occasional murderer, an outrageous braggart, and a man devoid of even the slightest hint of honor.
Yet of all the men in the world, it is Althalus, unrepentant rogue and scoundrel, who will become the champion of humanity in its desperate struggle against the forces of an ancient god determined to return the universe to nothingness. On his way to steal The Book from the House at the End of the World, Althalus is confronted by a cat - a cat with eyes like emeralds, the voice of a woman, and the powers of a goddess. She is Dweia, sister to The Gods and a greater thief even than Althalus. She must be: for in no time at all, she has stolen his heart. And more. She has stolen time itself. For when Althalus leaves the House at the End of the World, much wiser but not a day older than when he'd first entered it, thousands of years have gone by.
But Dweia is not the only one able to manipulate time. Her evil brother shares the power, and while Dweia has been teaching Althalus the secrets of The Book, the ancient God has been using the dark magic of his own Book to rewrite history. Yet all is not lost. But only if Althalus, still a thief at heart, can bring together a ragtag group of men, women, and children with no reason to trust him or each other. Boldly written and brilliantly imagined, The Redemption of Althalus is an epic fantasy to be savored in the listening and returned to again and again for the wisdom, excitement, and humor that only the Eddingses can provide.
©2000 David Eddings and Leigh Eddings (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
Cut out most of it. Lots of pointless, boring scenes.
They seemed to have a format for all their stories, and they followed the same format which makes all the stories sound alike with only names changed. They needed to break out of their self-imposed box.
Althalus is supposed to be an illiterate, yet good natured thief but his voice is that of an aristocrat, bad Scottish accent for another set of people, and a third group who sound as though they came from Transylvania.
"Too Easy for Althalus"
There seems to be no real problems for the heroes of the story. They just go along, and everything is either provided, or just works out fine. Nobody causes them any real trouble and anything they need they just get. It's all too easy and becomes boring. I unfortunately got so bored that I stopped partway through the book. Maybe it became more interesting later?
I've really enjoyed other Eddings' novels - I read through the Belgariad and the Ruby Knight series, and what I really enjoyed was how there was difficulty and then how that difficulty was overcome.
Give Althalus some problems. At least make him hunt food and cook it, or go hungy instead of just saying, "beef" and having cooked beef appear.
I enjoyed the vocal variety for the different charactars.
I didn't actually get all the way through.
"The story is amazing"
Althalus is a thief, but in the end he is a hero. how does this happen, easy when the gods use you as the champion.
Althalus has the greatest luck being a theif, that is until he decides to look at civilization and his luck sours, we all have off days after all. but when he comes home his luck stays bad. after visiting his friends and relaxing a stranger comes in and offers him a easy job. or so we though.
the Eddings team does it again but this time writing it all in one book. the growth, challenges and dilemmas come together
I did not like the performance of Dennis Holland, he does not have the range of vocal talent needed. all you can do to tell the difference between the ladies is the horrible accent and the cadence of there speech. the men where not much better. It made it hard to enjoy a great piece of work
"Worst written book I have ever seen"
The level of writing and the story are awful. I enjoyed previous books but this was a poor effort
Bad story, poorly developed characters, no conflict, bad dialogue, repetitive to the point it was distracting and pointless
He didn't stand a chance with such poor material. The story was painful to listen to and some of the accents and character depictions were very bad
"Fun and Whimsical"
A light hearted Standalone Fantasy, with a unique god mythos, and memorable characters. Victory is never really in doubt, but the ride is amusing.
"horrlble performance"
eddings is one of my favorite authors and and I have always enjoyed this book The not quite as much as the Belgareth series. somehow the reader of this book manage to take one of my favorite books and made me unable to sit through even two chapters of his monotone and uninspired performative
throughout the whole book he reads as if he's simply doing a job and trying to get it done as quickly as possible and audible should be ashamed for not having realize this from the get-go and actually allowing this to be released on their site
"Epic, laugh out loud, fantasy "
Witty, epic, fun.
The fact that while Althalus was being "redeemed" and underwent some changes, he was still very much himself throughout the book. No male Mary Sue here!
The depth of realization that the characters really do come from different and unique areas of the world. He gives each one a unique voice, and each area/country its own accent. (And stays true to that accent with other characters from that area, while still modifying it slightly to suit each person. For example, the Arums sound Scottish - fitting, as they wear kilts. But the rough-spoken sargeant sounds different than the well-read Clan Chief.)
Several, the descriptions of which would spoil parts of the book.
Redemption of Althalus doesn't have the same in depth in world building as the his ten book (plus two) epic fantasy saga, the Belgariad and Mallorean. (Obviously.) However, it still has the Eddings' trademark wit and humor, and is a thoroughly enjoyable read in itself.
"Read Twice and How Listened"
This was my first Audible.
In the lowlands when Althalus did not recognize paper money
When Althalus found out Em was pregnant
I had already read the print book twice. Sometimes one just wants a print but my eyes are not up to long reading sessions anymore so the narrated books are a blessing for me.
"Good book Bad narrator"
The narrator does not necessarily do voices for each character but accents. The most jarring one is for the nine-year-old boy. He sounds like the stereo typical Transylvanian vampire not A young boy. And he and does not show any excitement when the characters are excited. It's all The same pitch and tone.
"a hackneyed and pedestrian tale."
I am a great fan of Devid Eddings and was looking forward to re- entering his world but something has happened to his writing in the last 10 years . The writing is good and easy to read as you would expect, but where are the characters, where are the plots and sub plots- I managed 6 hours of this tale before giving up - the first audio book I have not been able to finish. I have 3 reasons for this. I. The tale is simple and linear with no surprises and progresses at a very slow snails pace. The main character is locked in a house for thousands of years and it really felt like it! You have to care about the main character fo engage in the tale of his life but he is a hackneyed stereotype cobbled together from previous stories. Finally the narator is to scottish accents what dick van dyke is to cockeys!!.. I cannot recommend this book and am disappointed I contributed to its No 1 bestseller strap line.
"I remember the other version as better"
I got this audiobook thinking it was the original version I had years ago, sadly lost. Ok so the narrator is better he didn't instill the Norse esque feeling I got from the other narrator who inisisted on talking in a funny pretend Norse accent for allof the characters. Personal opinion only
The actual story
yes.he wasn't bad except for his Scottish ish accent
"A series in itself"
Eddings is one of my favourite authors, but Althalus is by far the most fun of all the works. It's effectively a series within a single book, and has the freshness present in the Belgariad, but combined with the depth of the Younger Gods. Lots of fun, full of interesting characters.
The biblical-style passages are fun.
Audio books in general allow you to work whilst reading. Awesome!
"Creative, Magical, A must read"
Yes I love the story line although in parts the narrator is a little boring, and seem to lose interest
The bit when he find the house at the edge of the world and starts to learn the truth
not completely it took me two days in parts the narrator seem to make me feel he was not interested in reading this book but having read it myself and loving Eddings others I wanted to hear it through
Worth a listen
"amazing story, very averagely told."
the plot of this book is second to none, but the narrator users rather dodgy accents to differentiate beten characters and it does soul the immersion slightly. i would recommend reading this book first, then listening to the audio book.
"A good read and now on audio"
Compelling read ~ hard to put down ditto with the audio version
Emmy - of course - keep em guessing at all times - I love it!
brilliant story, pretty good narrator, although he makes several characters from different countries all sound a bit like the stereotypical Transylvania vampire, but you get used to it
"well worth a go"
once you get passed the terroble accenrs the book is very enjoyable . give it atrt
I loved reading this book growing up.
I've had the experience of falling in love with it all over again as an audible.
The narrator is fantastic at bringing the characters to life.
I enjoyed this immensely.
"Good Story, adequate narrator."
The headline says it all but if I am to expand upon it I would probably say this:
I read this story once when I was a child and loved it, coming back to now about 15 years later, I find it to be an old friend I'd lost.
Yes, the writing and story is somewhat simple but it is a good simple that invite most minds to listen.
The narrator on the other hand have this strange french sounding accent for most characters, it's not that much of a bother but from time to time my mind grabbed on to it and it was like an itch you can't reach.
Other than that he performed well giving most characters an easily distinguishable voice most of them feeling quite fitting.

This is what I find difficult — developing the world before I develop the characters and the plot. I tend to start with a few characters, their interactions create the plot, and the world adjusts to whatever the plot needs. The result is an inconsistent mess. The trouble is that I find it extremely difficult to keep paying attention while I'm just imaging the world on its own; whereas I have no problem paying attention while characters are interacting.
I wish I had a solution to this form of attention deficit. I doubt this is the syndrome that ritalin addresses.Reply
I know someone who used post it notes attached to their monitor with the most important world building things! It worked really well for them because they could look at their notes at a glance and focus on what they felt was important while keeping the facts straight. You could possibly do this with a thumbtack board next to your work area too 🙂Reply
After spending a few moments reading through your guide (that I have desperately searched for), I must thank you for sharing the plethora of information here. I have pages upon pages of maps, history, and too-detailed character descriptions, but I'm lacking altogether in a believable plot. For some odd reason, your methods of organizing a story bible have inspired plots woven with subplots. Perhaps it was always there & I needed a little guidance to clear up the clutter in my brain.
Thank you!Reply
You're very welcome!! I'm so glad it helped you. :3 Good luck wrangling your stories into shape!Reply
I believe there are only two or three examples of female-dominated cultures in the world at present. There are indeed matrilineal societies, where property is passed down the female line, but this is from mother's brother to son, but truly matriarchal societies where women have control over everything are very rare. Egalitarian societies are more common, and then it tends to be women who provide more of the daily sustenance for family groups than men as hunting trips are often unsuccessful (egalitarian societies tend to be foraging societies), although as hunting is a prestige gaining activity and gathering is not, women do not gain any prestige from doing this. Just my thoughts about the beginning of your post, which is really useful. I don't know how useful it may be to any writers out there, but…Reply

The philosophy of perception investigates the nature of our sensory experiences and their relation to reality. Raising questions about the conscious character of perceptual experiences, how they enable us to acquire knowledge of the world in which we live, and what exactly it is we are aware of when we hallucinate or dream, the philosophy of perception is a growing area of interest in metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind.William Fish's Philosophy of Perception introduces the subject thematically, setting out the major theories of perception together with their motivations and attendant problems. While providing historical background to debates in the field, this comprehensive overview focuses on recent presentations and defenses of the different theories, and looks beyond visual perception to take into account the role of other senses.Topics covered include:The Phenomenal PrinciplePerception and HallucinationPerception and ContentSense-Data, Adverbialism and IdealismDisjunctivism and RelationalismIntentionalism and Combined TheoriesThe Nature of ContentVeridicalityPerception and Empirical ScienceNon-Visual Perception
With summaries and suggested further reading at the end of each chapter, this is an ideal introduction to the philosophy of perception.

Right now a massive clous is lingering over the city. Police say calls from worried residents began pouring in this morning. Witnesses say it looked like a large dark rain cloud that initially started over heart plaza. And within' hours the cloud spread. Now covering a large portion of the midwest. People in the effected regions say it looks like the workings of an incredible thunderstorm. Teh bizaar weather events being linked to the cloud. Including red lightning, black hail, and super hot gail force winds. Meteorologists remain baffledas satelite pictures and radar shows the cloud continuing to expand. Experts say that its current rate of travel is the entire nation will be completely covered in just a matter of hours. Police are asking you please to remain indoors and not panic. The president has ordered the military to be on emergency alert. And they stand by powerless, foreced to watch, wait. As the cloud expands many people are now placing spiritual significants on its appearence. Leaders from mainstream religion cal it an apocholipic cult by declaring it of the 2nd coming of grim consequence of mans abuse of nature. Viewing the speculation are reports from accross the country. That the only light piercing this churning, inky, shroud are beams of sunlight which are only falling at places of worship all religions and denominations. As the cloud continues to expand accross the nation the rest of the world looks on with growing concern.

Los Angeles, California (PressExposure) March 12, 2009 -- Currently in public beta, user friendly website Organics4u.me gives budget conscious consumers from around the globe the inside scoop on living an organic lifestyle
Organics4u.me (www.Organics4u.me), a user friendly multi-media website founded by a group of entrepreneurs and marketing professionals based in Los Angeles, California (collectively known as Organix), will offer consumers something much needed during the economic downturn: a resource for making healthy choices without spending loads of cash.
The website, which boasts content ranging from research based articles and forums to daily polls and a fun, quirky blog (the GOOBlog), fills a much needed void in the realm of organic living through its laid-back, consumer friendly approach to a highly taboo topic.
"The idea for Organics4u.me arose from a need we identified in the market, as well as a topic that was interesting to the entire group," remarked Michael Steffes, Organix co-founder and a professional website designer and blogger by trade. "This website is specifically geared towards people who think that living organically is synonymous with deep pockets and Hollywood celebs."
"What people often fail to realize is that living organically generally means one thing: less consumption," added Jennifer Belton, Organix co-founder and marketing professional. "As a consumer driven society we tend to overdo everything from eating to building to exercising. The key to healthy, organic living is the opposite of that mentality. It's a complete paradigm shift, and we offer those insights with Organics4u.me." Currently in public beta, Organics4u.me (www.Organics4u.me) is set to officially launch in early summer 2009 with increased content including videos, how-to guides, expert interviews, and product reviews.
About Organics4u.me Organics4u.me is a website that offers consumers ideas and insights for "How To Go Organic on a Budget (How To GOOBâ¢)." The multi-media platform was created and developed with the budget conscious consumer in mind. The mission of the site is to provide relevant information in an educational and entertaining manner while giving helpful tips and hints for incorporating cost-effective, practical, organic lifestyle choices.
