It's too early to tell how much miscommunication was created in the shooting pf a 34-year-old Marietta man in Dunwoody because of the separate roles of DeKalb Fire and Dunwoody Police.
Both are operated by two distinct dispatch centers, a division that came about shortly after Bradley Almy was shot.
After it incorporated, Dunwoody chose to contract with Chatcomm for police emergencies.
Listen to a retellng of the transcript and acommpanying story here of the energecy call. Stay tuned for a full upload of the 911 call - as we have ben attempting to find a usable format.
Chatcomm receives all initial calls, and then manually transfers it to DeKalb call takers in the case of fire and paramedic emergencies. That adds up to 1 minute 30 seconds to a 2 minute 20 second average dispatch time, according to city officials.
The 3-minute, 50-second maximum average response for DeKalb Fire was exceeded by at least a minute and a half in Almy's case, according to dispatch records.
Based on the police dispatch logs, DeKalb fire trucks were unclear where to go in at least one case, and didn't know how to get there after a road closure in a second case.
It's unclear if fire and police talked directly on radios or only through their intermediary dispatchers, based on the Dunwoody log.
Kimberly Greer, assistant to the city manager in Dunwoody, said that the city is still working to make the dispatch centers streamlined. Asked if a unified dispatch center could have helped in this situation, Greer deferred.
"There's a separation between DeKalb and Dunwoody ... we provide certain services and they do to. We try not to duplicate."
Greer also said that Dunwoody's release of its 911 call did not detail the actions of DeKalb Fire. The department has not released its call record as of this time.

- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in egg, then stir in vanilla. Gradually blend in the sifted ingredients. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Roll in remaining sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Criss-cross with fork tines.
- Bake at for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool slightly, and remove from pan.

Ok, I am angry. I wanted desert. It was cold outside. I didn't want to go out so I made something. This. And it was good. Now I know that I can bake, I am going to get fat. Seriously - really good cookies and I don't even like peanut butter. It was just the only thing in the house that could be turned into a cookie (my husband likes it). PS: I didn't roll them in sugar - I ran out, but I did sprinkle a little confectioner's sugar on top once they were done. Pretty.
this is THE pb cookie recipe for me ... i love it! it tastes just the way a peanut butter cookie should :) if you want them to stay soft, freeze or refrigerate your dough before baking (and i mean, once they're on the sheets, not before shaping them. just pop them into the freezer for about 5 minutes and then into the oven to bake.) they stay really soft that way (as long as you don't overbake!) if you like 'em crispy (like i do!), don't do that step. anyway, great cookies! last time i put reese's pieces and it added a nice chocolate touch without being overpowering. also, it makes like 28-30 normal sized cookies (48 would be little bite-sized guys!) Enjoy!
I put rounded balls into medium muffin tins and baked for 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies looked and tasted even better ;) A definate crowd pleaser.

Students at Shades Valley High School had a first-hand experience Friday of the dangers texting while driving can cause.
Through the use of a virtual texting and driving simulator, students were seated in a car connected to sensors. The driver navigated a virtual road course while texting, and the results were surprising.
"The law I
sponsored outlawing texting while driving is important, but it's also
important to raise awareness of the dangers of texting
while driving with events like this," said Rep. Jim McClendon, who authored Alabama's texting while driving law.
Students signed a pledge to not text and drive.

Cipher's first run was last year in Tulsa, but because of statewide interest, has come to the metro. The show boasts works from artists belonging to every realm, from highbrow art to graffiti art.
Nathan Lee, Inclusion in Art director and exhibition curator, said that Cipher is the first show of the nonprofit group's "Element Four" series, covering the four components of hip-hop culture: rapping/lyricism, deejaying, break dancing and graffiti.
Cipher breaks from the norm of other exhibitions in its field because of the variety it offers. According to Lee, it goes beyond the expected, opening its doors to artists who may not have experience in hip-hop culture.
"I think it's fascinating to base art around lyrics, because audiences will see that this music is actually viable and it does have something to say," Lee said.
Cipher's primary goal is to bring about an understanding of the power hip-hop lyrics can hold, Lee said, so for those unfamiliar with the genre, the exhibition may be an eye-opening experience.
"Hip-hop has been commercialized," said Lee. "Some of it is just plain fun, but not all of it. We offer a variety and give insight."

STILLWATER, Okla. —
Approximately 500 elementary students jammed into a small school courtyard and burst out in their song school Wednesday afternoon.
School spirit was alive and well at Will Rogers Elementary School.
The children had reason to celebrate.
Along with teachers, faculty, staff and administrators, the students watched as iron workers installed a 27-foot, 300-pound steel beam during a "topping out" ceremony.
Students had autographed the red beam prior to the event and watched as it was hoisted by a large crane into position. The beam was adorned with an American and Oklahoma state flag. A Christmas tree, attached to the middle of the beam, was decorated with ornaments created by the students.
"This is a very exciting time," said Will Rogers Principal Cherron Ukpaka.
Construction manager Gregg Lambert said construction of the new building is approximately 45 to 50 percent completed.
Ukpaka said she is confident the Sept. 6 completion date will be met.

"But further, we err, not only in religion but in philosophy likewise, because we do not know or believe 'the scriptures.' The sciences have been compared to a circle of which religion composes a part. To understand any one of them perfectly it is necessary to have some knowledge of them all. Bacon, Boyle and Newton included the scriptures in the inquiries to which their universal geniuses disposed them, and their philosophy was aided by their knowledge in them."
Unless you spend all your time in a hole in the ground and have been spared the political advertisements of the past few months, it's no great surprise that election time is upon us once again.
Tourist No. 1: What is that awful smell?
Well, the rides are all packed up, the smell of cooking seafood and funnel cake has left the air and the dust in the Midway has finally settled. And just as quickly as it seemed to appear, the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival is over – for now.
The State Board of Regents voted recently to tighten their policies governing illegal immigrant applicants to Georgia colleges and universities, and they did it with little discussion.
From now through the Nov. 2 election day, you will see and hear a lot about ballot Amendment 2. This is a $10 car tag fee to help fund the formation of a statewide trauma network and stabilize Georgia's trauma care system. Specifically, Georgia voters will be asked to vote "yes" or "no" on the following:
Two-thirds of West Virginians approve of the job performance of Gov. Joe Manchin. In ordinary circumstances, that would be enough to get him any promotion he wants. Not in 2010.
If most Georgians hope to ensure a future quality of life at least equal to that of the past, it is clear that government accountability must improve.
Of all the things the Newark, N.J., school system needs, the last of them is more money. Newark spends more per pupil than any other city in the country, and gets dismayingly little for it. For $22,000 per pupil - more than twice the national average - it graduates half its students.

In less than three weeks, we will elect people to fill some of the most important positions in our state and nation. And while they are obviously all important, some will argue that judgeships and those who appoint or confirm judges are the most important.
In a speech at Duke University last week, U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said that most Americans have grown too detached from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and view military service as something for "other people to do."
The legislation (SB-31) that allows Georgia Power to charge small businesses and residential customers for electricity in advance provides exhibits A to Z of Republican core economic and political values; family values are exhibited in the speaker suite on the right wing at Motel 6.
It's been two months since the day of a massive fire at J&J Chemical Co. in Athens and a large spill of dangerous chemicals into a stream feeding the Oconee River. A sickly sweet odor still hangs in the air along Trail Creek, and an unnatural turquoise tint still colors the water.
Sept. 23 marked the six-month anniversary of the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, the new federal health care law. The bulk of the changes go into effect in 2014, giving state and local governments, insurers, providers and other key stakeholders time to translate and implement the new policies.
MOULTRIE - I have often used the written expression "go figure." It's kind of like shaking your head in mild amazement.
Summer definitely has arrived, as the temperature continues to rise.
Politically speaking, perhaps the biggest news story this election cycle is the historic loss of U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a primary election.
As Americans hop in their cars this summer, gasoline prices are at a six-year high. Thanks to surging demand and continued turmoil in Iraq, gas is quickly approaching $4 per gallon.
Editor; It's about time Richmond Hill City Council is seeking ways to ease drainage problems in our neighborhoods with the purchase of 24.75 acres of swamp land from Mulberry Co., LLC. I believe the purchase of this land when developed for recreational use will definitely be an asset to the city.
With the July 22 runoff elections fast approaching, I called Junior E. Lee, general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company in Greater Garfield, Georgia, to get his thoughts on the various races and to see who he thinks will make it to the finals of the November general election and who will be eliminated this round.
Ogeechee Riverkeeper Day is Saturday over at Loves Seafood. That's a good thing.
"Roll up! Roll up for the Magical Mystery Tour! Step right this way!"
I made my first visit to the workout gym in over a year the other day. As most of my readers know I like to perform my fitness regimen in my garage where it is private, easily accessible…and most important - free! I happened to be out of town and could not fit my garage in my suitcase, so I decided to make a visit to the local gym for some climate-controlled exercise. Who knew exercising in an air-conditioned room could be so nice.
As lawmakers continue debating ethics and transparency in Georgia government, with the hourglass emptying fast on the 2013 session, yet another independent nonprofit think tank has given the state a less than encouraging grade.

XD sub9, eyeglass case, SS @ 0400.
Hello Folks: I'm brand-new here, so if I commit a faux-pas in posting, bear with me, I can learn fairly quickly. This may have been covered in the past, but, being new, and with so many postings to read, I'll ask: Is a Sig P232 with Cor-Bons too light a weapon to rely upon if things require use? I have a Sig P239 (with .40 and .357 barrels), but favor the P232 because of weight/size/concealability. I do have a valid Concealed Carry Permit. Thanks in advance.
Hi Tubby, I have an older P230 and it is a good backup and I carry it on Sunday but it is not commonly used as a primary weapon. I carry a HK P2000 SK 40 and am quite happy with it as an off duty (make that retirement) piece.
I have been wearing a PPK .380 but I recently aquired a S&W M&P40c and it will take over as my main carry as soon as I get a little more range time in on it. My backup is the Kel-tec P32.
I carry a Glock 19 in either my Galco paddle holster or Galco Miami Classic 2 shoulder rig.
Also carry a lightweight, 5-inch LED flashlight with tailcap on/off switch as well as a CRKT M16-10K knife. The flashlight puts out a surprising amount of light for a penlight and can easily be used in a Harries technique.
Well I temporarily benched my Warthog for some refinishing. Got this to "pinch hit" if needed.
springfield XD 45
now that is a beautiful gun. What make and model is it?
I usually carry a G27 IWB and spare mag when conceaibility is a priority. If not, a G30 IWB and spare mag or Taurus PT145 OWB.
Springfiled EMP w/spare mag. Three more loaded mags in the center console of my truck.
sig 229
Another newbie here. I have to wait another month for my ccw, but have two in waiting. Springer SS Mil-Spec 1911 for winter, and FEG PA63 9mm Makarov for warmer weather. Thinking of adding a XD in .40 before then, for variety.
Another noob on the board. Just picked up a H&K P7. Starting my search for an IWB holster now.
I carry a Kimber Ultra carry II, equiped with crimson trace sight. small, light and compact, it will print with an owb holster and a t-shirt, but in the summer it goes IWB and no print.
G19 if I must use the shoulder Holster
XD 40 - if I conceal IWB
Kel-Tech P3AT if nothing else can work.

TEDx Sheffield: No Straight LinesOctober 18th, 2011
Thank you TEDx Sheffield for inviting me to kick off your event recently.
No Straight Lines, argues that we have reached the nadir of the adaptive range of our industrialised world. Now faced with an unsustainable trilemma of social, organisational and economic complexity, we have entered an era in which the rules we have previously organised our lives around no longer apply. Leaving us with both a design problem and a design challenge which we must urgently solve. By describing an entirely new way for true social, economic and organisational innovation to happen, No Straight Lines presents a revolutionary logic and an inspiring plea for a more human-centric world.

Kerry Hannon, Contributor
I cover boomer careers, retirement, aging and personal finance.
When it comes to changing careers, there's lots to be afraid of. You might not call it fear. But let's face it. That's what stops you from making the move out of a miserable job, or starting over in a new field no matter how right the time is to do just that. It's paralyzing.
The biggest fears: failure, loss of money, loss of pride. Being the low-man on the totem pole, or the neophyte, when you're ego isn't prepared to, feels wrong. These are all honest and true gut-level fears. Fears that are, well, human.
It's ok to be afraid. But not ok to let those fears stop you from following a new path that might make your life a heck of a lot better in many ways-personally and financially. One refrain I hear time and time again from successful career switchers: "I never second guessed my decision. I only wish I had done it sooner."
There's an inner confidence that keeps them going even when things get jiggy. And in my heart, I always wish some of that will rub off on me when we get together.
The fact is there's a bulging file drawer full of fears that come along with the notion of changing jobs or starting a new business. Fear is far from a one-size fits all opponent to face. Each person has a unique challenge. Yet as poet Rainer Maria Rilke wrote: "One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one."
To get some advice on what you can do to address your fears, I sat down with business & work coach Patricia DiVecchio, author of Evolutionary Work: Unleashing Your Potential in Extraordinary Times (Pearhouse Press), and president of International Purpose, based in Arlington, Va., who has been helping people for over 25 years manage fear and uncover their work potential and purpose.
KH: What are some basic ways to conquer fear?
PD: First, think about these three concepts:
KH: Fear as an ally? Are you serious?
PD: It can be a great motivator, a great teacher. We don't see it like that. We tend to run away from fear, back, or shy away from it, instead of stepping into it. You need to recognize it as something you can learn from. You need to shake hands with your fear and enlist it as a friend- a force to encourage forward movement, rather than something to hide from.
KH. Why are people so anxious about work transitions even if they know it's time to do something different?
PD: It should be exciting to do something you've have always wanted to do or are passionate about, but we fear change, even if it is positive change. It's the unknown. We are afraid of the conflict that it might create, within and outside of ourselves when we stand up for our true wants and needs. There's the fear of greater responsibility. Or if you are starting over in a new field, there's the fear of a downgrade in status, at least initially. That can come with a fear of a loss of power, respect, acceptance, and money. Funny, those same things can be scary in the reverse too, people are sometimes afraid of the gain of power, respect, acceptance and money.
KH: Fear of success? Sounds so counterproductive. What's that all about? (Continued on next page)
Excellant article Kerry, totally on target.
If we were rich these changes would'nt matter as much. We would be much more inclined to take a career change.
Oddly enough the reason more people are'nt rich is because of their fear of taking a calculated chance.
The equation I run by is "whats the up side, or out", and "whats the down side if you fail?"
When you take a calculated chance you look at the "out" and factor in as many variables as possible. Then bias the career change into your favor with these variables. For example you might want to pre-educate yourself in social media to help build this career change before you make the change. Or advertise your new business before you start it.

Recipe by Amber D. Marcu
"An ambrosial sauce that is irresistible! This is excellent atop smashed potatoes or as a sauce for long, flat pasta. Adjust seasonings for a variety of complex flavors! Common substitutions include paprika and cayenne in lieu of the Italian herbs used here!"

3 tablespoons
shallots, minced
2 cloves
garlic, minced
1 (4 ounce) package
sliced button mushrooms
1 tablespoon
minced fresh rosemary
6 tablespoons
white wine, divided
1 cup
heavy cream
sea salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon
grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
This is good, it's just needs more time to cook down to a sauce consistency. It'll take more like 15 minutes rather than 5, so just give it some time, rather adding a roux affecting the delicate flavor of the creamy sauce. I made this and put in a double boiler on simmer to wait for the meat to cook. I did add a splash of sherry, but otherwise followed the ingredient listing. Forgot to add the parmesan, but it was good even without it.
As written this sauce is too lose for me (you could cook much longer to reduce the cream, but I prefer a roux), and too much rosemary (I reduced to one teaspoon of fresh so it wasn't like a pine branch), also needed other adjustments and additions to make a really good sauce. Add flour equal to butter after sautéing vegies to make a roux, add one cup rich beef broth then heavy cream and wine, simmer till thickened and serve.

Have to agree the R32 is an awesome car
Audi A4 2.0TDI S Line - Quartz Grey - Symphony 6 CD
(Under promise, over deliver....)
Honestly for the money I thought the r32 was the better bargain dont get me wrong a like s3s but am happy with what i paid for the r32 a basically saved myself like 6 and a half grand!
How does it compare with the Clio mate? As I'm thinking of one for my next car. As I do have a choice between the R32 and the Clio.
I sold my clio as I have my tt both 2 seaters bit of a ****ter 4 when my mates come to spain I have to rent a car! But the clio was heaps of fun **** handerling but fun! As far as the r32 goes top class and fun! Both are amazing carnt knock them both!Originally Posted by Pimpster

"Hummingbird Garden Buddies", Anderson's innovative project, pairs first and fifth-grade students together to create a beautiful hummingbird haven in an area of the school that is overgrown and neglected. Together, the students, along with parent volunteers and teachers, will transform a 600-square-foot plot into a landscaped area suitable for attracting hummingbirds. The goal is to bring the natural world to life with active involvement by the students. They will benefit by caring for the garden and watching their plants develop and attract hummingbirds, along with other bird species, insects and lizards. Through the program, students will learn about watershed issues, math and graphing, and will utilize their computer skills to prepare a presentation that introduces the community to the Hummingbird Garden. Anderson, who resides in Burbank, believes the peer-to-peer learning, along with gaining a sense of responsibility and appreciation for the natural world, will create more responsible and caring students as well.

Prosecutors are looking to cut the heart out of the defense in the Davis "sweethearts" murder case while defense attorneys want to lock up the jury, move the trial out of town and have it delayed.
Over the last week, the lawyers have bombarded each other with more than 60 pretrial motions. One filed by the defense seeks to continue the trial beyond its scheduled Jan. 30 trial date. That one brought the parents of one of the victims to Sacramento Superior Court on Friday to oppose the idea.
"As we are getting older, this is something that is in our life every day," said Kate Riggins, 76. "We feel very strongly we need to keep to the date and at least get things under way so justice can be done."
Her son, John Riggins, and his girlfriend and fellow UC Davis student, Sabrina Gonsalves, both 18, were last seen the night of Dec. 20, 1980, after a presentation in town of "The Nutcracker." Their bodies were found two days later in a ravine near Lake Natoma.
A cold DNA hit in 2002 directed Sacramento County sheriff's detectives to a Washington state prison cell, where they found two-time convicted rapist Richard Joseph Hirschfield, now 62.
The Sacramento case was filed in 2004, nearly 12 years after former Yolo County District Attorney David Henderson was forced to drop a murder case he filed against four other people in the sweetheart killings.
Henderson theorized his four suspects kidnapped and killed the Davis students to provide a bizarre alibi for the late serial sex killer Gerald Gallego. Half-brother to one of the Yolo foursome, Gallego had just been arrested at the time of the sweetheart killings for the rape and murder of another Sacramento area couple.
Fast forward to the Hirschfield defense of the present day. It says Henderson got it right. Counter with the filings by Hirschfield's current prosecutor, Sacramento Deputy District Attorney Dawn Bladet.
She said the Yolo County prosecution consisted of "tenuous facts," a "convoluted theory" and no evidence.
"Allowing the defendant to put on this evidence at trial would likely take significantly longer than the time required to put on the people's case against Hirschfield," the Sacramento County prosecutor wrote.
She said "the salacious display" of Gallego's "unrelated crimes to this jury would surely lead to confusion."
Hirschfield attorney Linda Parisi said the old Yolo theory "clearly is the heart of the defense." She said it is "beyond me" why the DA's office "would say they don't want a jury to know what happened."
While Bladet wants to keep the Yolo case out, she filed another motion to get more of Hirschfield's criminal history in. She said the jury needs to know about a pattern of violent sex crimes that includes two rape convictions, one for a 1991 attack in Washington and another for a Santa Clara County sex assault in 1975.
Among her other motions, Bladet wants to introduce a suicide note Hirschfield's brother wrote before he killed himself the day after Sacramento detectives questioned him in November 2002 about the sweetheart killings.
"I've been living with this horror for 20 years," the brother wrote. His note blamed Richard Hirschfield for the deaths, but Bladet asked to redact the mention of the defendant.
Parisi said the note would be relevant only if the brother were alive and on trial. It was excluded from Hirschfield's preliminary hearing.
As for the change of venue, Parisi said "the range of coverage has been broad" and "impacting." She asked for the jury sequestering because "there is danger" in a lengthy trial she expects it to last four to six months of panelists picking up information from outside the courtroom.
"Due process is not inexpensive," she said in an interview. "I don't just mean in dollars. I mean in significant impact on individuals."
In asking for the trial delay, Parisi said she needs more time to go through the 230,000 pages of discovery in the death penalty case.
For the parents and other relatives of the victims, it's been more than three decades since the killings.
"It's time to move on," Ginger Swigart, Sabrina Gonsalves' aunt, told the court.
Judge Michael W. Sweet seemed to agree. He told the lawyers to be ready to for hearings and rulings in early December. He said 25 of the 485 potential witnesses in the case have died.
"My goal is to press on," he said.
"Please do," said John Riggins' 76-year-old father, Richard Riggins, who drove with his wife from Pismo Beach to attend the hearing.

Police believe speed and alcohol were factors in a fatal crash early Saturday morning.
According to police, 24-year-old Arnold Cheung, of Henderson, was driving a BMW 550i eastbound on Pebble Road approaching Carnegie Street around 2:20 a.m. Cheung failed to stop at the stop sign and continued straight across the intersection and struck the block wall, police said.
Cheung was pulled from the car and taken to Sunrise Hospital. His passenger died at the scene.
Police say a preliminary investigation indicated that speed and alcohol appeared to be factors in the crash. Blood was drawn from Cheung at the hospital for testing. He faces a DUI with death charge if his blood alcohol content is over the legal limit, according to police
The roadway was closed for about four hours while fatal accident investigators conducted their investigation.
The Clark County Coroner's Office will release the man's name after his family has been notified.
The man's death was the fourth traffic-related fatality in Henderson this year.

The Southampton Village Board had it out again Tuesday with one of the of a to be built in the Highway Business district.
Abraham Wallach, a village resident who has promised to sue if the Village Board adopts the supermarket legislation, came before the board during Tuesday evening's work session to pitch an alternative plan that he says would resolve the village's need for a new supermarket while avoiding changes to the zoning code and a costly lawsuit over allegations of illegal spot zoning.
"You don't need two supermarkets," he told the board.
Wallach is proposing that the village buy the existing grocery store on Jagger Lane and two adjacent lots, one with a physical therapist's office and the other a historic house owned by the . He said a combined parcel would encompass 3 acres, allowing for an expansion of the supermarket with sufficient parking. The supermarket could be two stories with an escalator, he said.
Village Board members saw the plan as fundamentally flawed.
"You have to have willing property owners," Mayor Mark Epley told Wallach.
But Wallach pointed out that , and suggested making fair market appraisals and using eminent domain to buy the Waldbaum's and physical therapist's office if the owner does not want to sell. The village would then put out a request for proposal to find a supermarket chain interested in redeveloping the lot, he said.
Wallach, a retired city planner, said he would aid the village in the process pro bono. "There are developers in New York that pay me thousands of dollars an hour, and I am offering you my services for nothing," he said.
Village Trustee William Hattrick was skeptical that they could find any developer or supermarket to get on board with the plan. He told Wallach, "Someone's got to spend maybe $20 million to double the size of the store, and suppose they don't want to do it?"
Wallach suggested developer Robert Morrow, who is so he can build a shopping center on County Road 39, would be up to the task. "He would be one of the first people who would knock on the door and say I'll do it," Wallach said.
The suggestion did not quell Hattrick's doubts. "You can't just put a gun to somebody's head," he said. And the suggestion of the village compelling the owner of the Waldbaum's property to sell by condemning the land did not sit well with him either. "Holy Jesus — and you're worried about legal fees?" he told Wallach.
Epley agreed to review Wallach's plans, but did not offer any support of the idea. "I don't know if the village wants to put itself in a position of condemning an active supermarket, a historic house and a physical therapist's office," he said.
Wallach denied a request to give a copy of the architect's plans to Patch at this time, saying he only wants to share them with the Village Board for now.

By CARL E. FEATHER - firstname.lastname@example.com
Star Beacon
The tradition of an International Fair at the town hall is not quite as old as that of the Peruvian carved gourds sold there.
For the origins of the latter, you need to go back 4,000 years, says Vickie Lubin, manager of the One World Shop, which supplies much of the International Fair's merchandise. The gourds, about the size of a child's fist, are carved to look like the faces of whimsical creatures and embellished with a string for hanging from a Christmas tree.
As for the origins of the International Fair itself, Rita Linehan of Harpersfield Township says it goes back more than 20 years, when the Congregational Church sponsored the market of free-traded items. After a decade-long hiatus, the fair was revived in 1999 by her daughter, Molly, who saw first-hand how vital native crafts were to helping residents of Central America improve their lot in life.
The Linehan family turned over the fair to Zonta Club of Ashtabula Area several years ago. Annette Paul, chairwoman for this year's event, said the local club hosts and promotes the fair as a service project. The only money they make from the event, from selling refreshments, goes toward the advertising bill.
The fair features items from the One World Shop in Rocky River. The shop is a non-profit store that is committed to fair trade practices. By purchasing the handmade items at a fair trade price, shoppers help improve the working and living conditions for artisans and their communities.
Doug Baird, volunteer with One World Shop, said the artisans are paid up front when the order is placed, so they do not have to put out their own capital and make goods on speculation. Because the items are handmade, no two are exactly alike.
More than 35 developing countries are represented at the One World Shop, and about 30 at the International Fair. Recycling abounds.
For example, artisans in India make picture frames from discarded bicycle chains. They also weld bolts, nuts and chain links to create dragons and other "guy" art.
Women will find the scarves made from the discarded saris of Indian women of special interest because of the accessory's unique patterns and history. The cotton sari is the traditional dress of Indian women. Buyers purchase the second-hand saris from women in the Kolkata area of India at a fair rate. The material is hand sewn into scarves.
Nature lovers will find the wool birdhouses made by artisans in Kathmandu, Nepal, a fascinating and colorful way to attract birds. The felt birdhouses are made in a clean, safe production center that meets globally socially compliant workplace standards. Lubin said the bird houses, although made of wool felt, are very durable and naturally resistant to moisture.
Although the products sold at the International Fair don't involve integrated circuits and LCD screens, there are plenty of goodies for the techno-savvy shopper. Tablet covers made from recycled materials, including rubber, and messenger/laptop bags made from mosquito netting, are offered at this year's fair.
One of the companies that makes these products is Five Accessories, which employs more than 70 persons in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The majority of the workers are young mothers who are encouraged to bring the children to work and the company-provided daycare. Workers use their wages to purchase homes and education. At least 40 artisans have been able to purchase sewing machines for their trade as a result of the outsourcing work they do for the company.
In addition to the items provided by One World Shop, the International Fair is providing space to several Fair Trade groups with local connections.
Active Blessing Uganda (activeblessing.com), was founded by county native Jane Snyder. Matt Cramer, a part-time Jefferson resident, works with Orphan Relief and Rescue, Liberia. INTO, Illuminating Nations Through Offering, of Oberlin, will sell items made by artisans from Ecuador.
Annette Paul said Zonta also will be selling their giant pecan halves at $10 per pound.
The fair is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and next Saturday. It is noon to 5 p.m. Sunday and Nov. 18. The town hall is located at 2794 State Route 307 East.

On the sixth day of Christmas,
I gave a gift to me:
Six forum comrades
Five "Thanks, but no thanks,"
Four helpful kids
Three best friends,
Two great big hugs,
And an evening out just for me.
Do you ever find that when you really need someone to talk to, everyone you might think of calling is either asleep, working, or busy? Or do you sometimes hesitate to complain to your friends about the challenges you face, because you think they just won't "get it?"
That's what I really appreciate about the Single Parents Forum here at About.com. There's always someone around, even on holidays, and it's a place where you can be honest about what you're facing, even when it's something you'd think twice about sharing with your family and friends.
So while you're making this renewed effort to be extra kind to yourself, stop by the forum and share your story.

Packed with history, firsts—and people—it is where Washington crossed the Delaware, Edison invented the electric light, and the boardwalk and baseball were born. It is home to 8.7 million residents—the small but powerful sweet spot between New York and Pennsylvania.
With its tremendous density and diversity—of terrain, communities, arts and culture, transportation, and businesses—New Jersey is now and future America in microcosm, the ideal proving ground for new ideas. And Rutgers has always been its trusted partner in moving forward.

You could hardly hear him talk.
John Wooden rasped, his voice "wearing out like everything else," he says, but not enough to silence the teasing or scolding forthcoming.
You could hardly hear him talk.
John Wooden rasped, his voice "wearing out like everything else," he says, but not enough to silence the teasing or scolding forthcoming.
"It's probably a big deal for you to reach 100 years," he's told Saturday while he sits and watches the basketball tournament named in his honor in the Honda Center.
"Ninety-nine is a long time too," he replies with authority.
Or as Bill Walton, sitting to Wooden's side, puts it: "He's a man of strong opinions," and then with a grin, adds, "although he wasn't one in the habit of listening to our opinions."
Wooden has all that experience, though, his seven grandkids and 13 great-grandchildren calling him "Papa," so I ask what advice a Papa might have for G.P., knowing the twin granddaughters will be arriving via C-section Friday.
"You going to be there?" he interrupts. "One should always put family No. 1. I don't care what the situation."
Planning on it, but Pete Carroll is in hiding and "I would still like to ask him some tough questions."
Wooden says, "I like Pete Carroll, but you should" ask him some tough questions, and I tell him, "Good, I'm going to write that down and tell Carroll you said so."
In return I get one of those Wooden "don't you dare" stares, and it's amazing how long he can lock onto someone.
Now I'm on a peacekeeping mission, and the conversation shifts to the 99-year head start on the "kids about to be born."
"Kids?" Wooden huffs, and I can't imagine what else is inside the belly of the daughter unless she's somehow managed to swallow Montana.
"Kids?" he repeats. "What are kids? Baby goats, aren't they? Try to remember they are children."
He wants to know what the children's names will be, one of them "Rylee," the same as the last name of his wife, Nell Riley, but spelled incorrectly, I would guess, because the daughter is married to a Grocery Store Bagger.
"He might be a bagger," Wooden says with an understanding pat, "but he's family."
WOODEN IS two months into his 100th year, as he likes to tell everyone, his favorite expression, "I'm here."
He spent a month in the hospital, worries about pneumonia, and upon his release instructs his family to never again take him back there.
Later he falls ill, and his daughter, Nan, a funny but crusty chip off the old Midwest John & Nell stock, has him taken to UCLA's hospital.
"Daddy says to me, 'I thought I told you to never again take me back there.' " Nan grins, the punch line coming. "I told him we didn't take him back to the hospital in Tarzana. We took him this time to UCLA."
Maybe there's a more devoted daughter out there than Nan, but until she's identified, she rules as sergeant at arms. You have to get past her to get to him, and it pains her -- as it does him -- that it has to be that way.
"I don't like it that so many people have to care for me," says Wooden, sitting in a wheelchair, every few minutes a former player or well-wisher getting the nod from Nan to wish Wooden well.
"I don't like taking these people away from their families," he says, his daughter, his son, his granddaughter, a new caretaker and the incomparable Tony Spino all sharing time at Wooden's residence so he's never left alone. "I don't like it," he says.
Funny he should say so, living a full life with an emphasis and philosophy predicated on helping others.
"Contradictory," he agrees. "There is nothing like the joy that comes with helping others, but I don't like receiving it."
No, he doesn't, and it bothers Nan too, because her father is losing his independence, and as strong and stubborn as she is, she's still a novice compared with the old man.
"It's very hard for him to accept," she says. "He's frustrated. He's always been so strong; on the other hand, he's 99. And he's still very sharp."
Sharp enough, his son Jim says, that when friends recently asked to have a picture taken with him, Wooden suggests the picture be of only him and the pretty girl.
"No more Clint Eastwood," Jim says with a laugh. "The other night he's talking Angelina Jolie."
He not only continues to have a sharp eye for talent, but if he has lost anything, it's not his sense of humor.
As Nan tells it, she has a dentist's appointment and instructs her dad not to dawdle over breakfast.
They go to the restaurant together and Wooden, who never looks at a menu, asks for one. He starts studying it, breakfast and lunch fare, a father pushing his daughter's buttons -- as any father would tell you, humor of the highest order.
"He's still got it, all right," she says, her mother dying 24 years ago on Nan's birthday, her sign that it was now her lifelong task to help Daddy. "He says he's feeling better today than he has in a long time. That's good to hear."
She tells a story, and isn't she always. The family gets together for Thanksgiving. When the day's over, Wooden is wheeled to his car, but he stops, raises his arms and tells everyone, "this has been just wonderful -- everyone getting together."

Last month I noted that the Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss were kicking off Fresh Tilled Soil's speaker series with an open-ended question-and-answer session. The infamous twins, portrayed in the movie the Social Network, talked openly about their public portrayal, the changing perceptions of entrepreneurship, and what they see coming next as they focus on investing and advising other start-ups.
It's a great video and worth a watch if you've got half an hour.

Fat-ypus G-Butter Skis
- Lengths: 166, 178
- Dimensions: 118 - 86 - 108
From the Editors of Freeskier:
Back for its fifth year, the wildly popular G-Butter from Fat-ypus stayed—well, the same. "It's soooo buttery… a great flex pattern," extolled one tester, while another said that the skis "felt effortless on jumps." Built with a snappy flex pattern and durable steel edges, the G-Butter can handle whatever the terrain park throws its way. Drop in some vertical sidewalls and a poplar woodcore, and you've got one hell of a park ski. Fat-ypus didn't need to reinvent the wheel; the G-Butter is pretty damn good.

Obama meeting with lawmakers on NSA surveillance
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is meeting with a bipartisan group of lawmakers to discuss surveillance programs run by the National Security Agency.
The private Oval Office meeting is to discuss concerns about privacy by lawmakers who are pushing to rein in the NSA's authority.
Obama's national security team is trying to keep its surveillance powers intact while acknowledging some limitations appear inevitable.
The meeting comes after Russian authorities granted temporary asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.
The White House says lawmakers from both parties will attend.
