Just two weeks after extending its Power Pack Club program at Valley Elementary, the Steven A. Hunter Hope Fund added another school to its program last week — West Elementary.
West marks the fifth school participating in the Hope Fund's Power Pack Club program, which provides needy students a weekend-worth of food to take home with them every Friday after school. Students become eligible based on the free and reduced lunch program, and upon recommendation of the children's teachers. The program is already active at Portsmouth, New Boston, and Northwest schools, now providing food to more than 330 children.
The program is done after school hours in a private room to protect the child's privacy so they won't be mocked by others.
"Actually kids at this age take ownership of the program. Especially hungry kids. This is their food, and what you wind up with is kids who aren't in the club will ask 'why can't I be in the club?' There's really no conception of what we're really doing," Mark Hunter said.
Hunter created the Steven A. Hunter Hope Fund with his wife, Virgie, in memory of their son Steven who passed away suddenly in 2006 while attending Milligan Christian College in eastern Tennessee. In addition to the Power Pack program, the non-profit Hope Fund also provides shoes, coats, clothing, school supplies, college entrance exam fees, ACT/SAT fees, field trip fees, tutoring, vision or dental exams, and more, to financially disadvantaged students.
The Hope Fund relies entirely on donations, and fundraisers such as their annual Steven A. Hunter Hope Fund Tennis Tournament, to help pay for these programs. This year's sixth annual tennis tournament, held last month, collected $13,000 for the Power Pack program.
"God has blessed us so much in the way we've been able to increase. When we started the food program in January of 2010 in the Portsmouth system, there's no way we would have thought we'd be able to be in five school systems in just a little over two-and-a-half years," Hunter said at the tournament.
The Hunter's were at West Elementary School on Friday, meeting with kids that receive food.
"This is our favorite time; when we can see the kids and the looks on their faces and everything comes together," Mark Hunter said.
West Elementary Assistant Principal Linda Shaw said the school was thankful to participate in the program.
"We are very grateful for the generosity of the Steven A. Hunter Hope Fund, for Mark and Virgie Hunter and their contribution to our community and our school. It means so much to know that these students that are so much in need will have this food that they can open themselves. In the past we have gathered it up through teachers and other avenues, but now that we have this it just meets a great need," Shaw said.

text: The Show Catwalk Fashion Shows Spring/Summer 2002 Ready-To-Wear Issey Miyake 09 October 2001 ISSEY MIYAKE's latest collection, unveiled by current designer Naoki Takisawa yesterday, was an explosion of colour. The man who took over the reins from Miyake in October 1999 opened on geometric shapes in a rainbow of stripes. Trousers were cut wide and above the ankle to show off textured jack-in-the-box knee-length socks and blurry multi-coloured plimsolls, and splash-printed chiffon sari-dresses came in a spectrum of bold and more intricate patterns. But at Miyake, whose founder studied graphic design and still creates his own original fabrics for the house, the focus is always on textiles. Tiny apron-front tops and belts made from plates of sheer Perspex petals in neon shades were shown alongside tunics of waffled cream organza. Gold zip-up jackets were also waffled, across their chests and down the arms, while black laminate patches ran from the bodies of slim red T-shirts onto their matching drainpipe trousers. Meanwhile Miyake's signature pleats appeared on ankle-length powder pink and black dresses. The show closed on a spectacular series of "works in progress": straight trousers and hotpants made up of rings of different coloured ribbons of shiny raw silk were worn under beautiful tops of tattered chiffon that hung in threads to the floor.

Young is one of about 2,000 youthful offenders potentially affected by the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling last year that mandatory sentencing rules requiring defendants under age 18 to serve life in prison without the possibility of parole is cruel and unusual punishment and thus unconstitutional.
The court split 5-4 in its ruling on Alabama and Arkansas cases, with the majority saying a judge or jury "must have the opportunity to consider mitigating circumstances before imposing the harshest possible penalty for juveniles."
The court previously ruled the death penalty for juvenile offenders unconstitutional in 2005 and decided in 2010 that sentencing a juvenile to life without parole for a non-homicide crime violated the Eighth Amendment.
Attorney Ed Lopez has filed a motion seeking a resentencing for Young. Court documents indicate the evaluation of Young is expected to be completed by early April.
Young was 17 when arrested and charged with the murders, which occurred on Nov. 29 or 30, 1988.
His father, Lucas, was shot to death; his mother Rebecca and brother Chris were stabbed and their house on US 190 East burned.
A juvenile killer in an equally notorious Eunice case has not filed re-sentencing motions.
Andrew J. Hundley was 15 when, according to a jury, he killed Terri Pitre, 14, on July 23, 1997. He was convicted of second-degree murder on March 4, 1999.
Hundley at trial denied killing the girl near the former site of the Mowata Store, pointing the finger a someone else.
Jurors, however, believed the state's case, buttressed by a confession from Hundley after, in his father's presence according to court documents, he had waived the right to silence and to having a lawyer present.

Particle Tracing Module
The Particle Tracing Module extends the functionality of the COMSOL Multiphysics environment for computing the trajectory of particles in a fluid or electromagnetic field, including particle-particle and particle-field interactions. Any application-specific module combines seamlessly with the Particle Tracing Module and gives you access to additional modeling tools and fields to drive the particle motion.
Loss or gain of mass, spin or similar quantities may be represented as auxiliary variables and equations for each particle along its trajectory. Secondary emission of particles is included as an option, where the emission may depend on incident velocity and energy. Particles can be massless or have mass, where the movement is governed by Newtonian, Lagrangian, or Hamiltonian formulations from classical mechanics. Low-level access to the mathematical formalism is available for highly customized simulations.

NHL: Bruins overcome Devils in shootout
BOSTON — Brad Marchand scored the decisive shootout goal after teammate Nathan Horton forced overtime late in the third period and the Boston Bruins rallied for a 2-1 win over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night.
Boston's Tyler Seguin and New Jersey's Ilya Kovalchuk scored on their teams' first shot during the shootout. Then both teams failed on their next four attempts.
But Marchand put the puck between goalie Johan Hedberg's pads and the Bruins won when Marek Zidlicky's shot hit Tuukka Rask's left pad.
David Clarkson had put New Jersey ahead with his fourth goal of the season on a power play at 8:30 of the second period. Horton tied the game with his third goal with 4:05 left in regulation.
The Bruins are 5-0-1 and lead the Eastern Conference with 11 points.

X5 HairLaser 38 40
excellent value Have been using the X5 HairLaser for a month now and already our hair seems thicker and fuller.Product is easy to use and convenient to travel with even with the recharging base.We have taken before photos and in a month or two will take after photos to compare.With a money back guarantee, what have you got to lose? More hair! June 7, 2011
Proved me Wrong I come from a family where baldness is hereditary. Being 44 years old, about 8 months ago, I noticed my hair starting to fall limp on my head (lacked the body I was used to). I developed a constant itch in my scalp area. I noticed more and more hair in the sink and the tub daily. My self confidence was gone, I figured "this was it" I am going bald, and there is no lonelier feeling. I came across this product while flying home in the skymall magazine. Skeptical, I kept the catalog, and did some research and liked what I saw. But I was still skeptical. I ordered it, and began using it 3 days a week. The results were NOT instantaneous, but I have had results after 2 months of loyal 3 days per week use. Number 1 my scalp no longer itches! Number 2 my hair is fuller than it has been in 5 years. Number 3 the amount of fallout has been reduced to maybe 7 - 10 hairs in the sink (yes I was counting them!), down from 50 to 70 hairs worth of fallout per day! I went to the barber shop last week, the same barber has been cutting my hair for over 1 year. He made a comment about how my hair has gotten much fuller. That did for me, I will never stop using this product.! As for new hair? Not sure, my existing hair is so full now, i can't tell if there is any new growth. I have tried everything, Kevis, Rogaine, nothing worked until now! If you have noticed that your hair isn't what it used to be, save what hair you have left and get this product! Take care of the hair you have! Oh one last thing, I have also noticed that any gray hairs I had starting to pop up, are now GONE! This product will rejuvenate your hair follicles! November 23, 2010
So far so good I've been using this product now for about 2 weeks. I have seen already a change in my hair line. So far, I would recommend this product. I do have little concerns about the long term use. June 3, 2013
I being using the laser for three weeks it seems working for me. April 23, 2013

Spencer: Just can't believe in this 'Promised Land'
You gotta see this new movie about fracking.
It's written and stars in by Matt Damon and John Krasinksi and it's called "Promised Land." It's set right here in Pennsylvania and it turns out the charming and lovable environmental guy (played by Krasinski) really, get this, works for the evil fracking company!
How about that for a plot twist! Clever, huh?
What I just did there is called a "spoiler alert." Only I spoiled the surprise before I issued the alert. So now I've ruined the movie for any of our readers who were looking forward to see it. You know what that makes me? That makes me a really lousy human being. But then I work for a corporation. And working for a corporation does that to people. It takes your soul away. If you too work for a corporation you may have noticed.
It makes you willing to lie and cheat, and even kill people in the pursuit of the almighty dollar. That, at least, is the Hollywood idea of what corporations do. And, as we all know, that's true of some corporations more than others.
The energy industry is full of companies willing to kill people in pursuit of profits. (See, "The China Syndrome," "Silkwood," "Syriana," etc.) Big Agriculture with all its genetically-modified foods is awful, too (see "Michael Clayton").
Executives at the highest levels of these corporations order people who threaten their evil schemes assassinated. They assess the risks of getting caught, figure them to be in their favor, and annihilations are ordered. There is nothing to which they will not stoop to make a buck. Or so we learn from truth-telling filmmakers like Matt Damon.
His "Promised Land" gives us a would-be decent but ambitious salesman for a fracking giant called Global Crosspower Solutions. It gives us a poor farming community and its residents anxious to sell their drilling rights. It gives us a wizened old farmer, who also happens to have a Ph.D. in physics from M.I.T., questioning the health and safety of fracking. It gives us an earnest environmentalist (see above) who comes to town to warn the good folks that fracking poisons water, kills cows, and destroys communities. It gives us a love interest and a happy ending. It even gives us a cute lemonade-selling little girl who refuses a 75-cent tip because, well, she has the kind of good, old fashioned values that farm people are supposed to have.
What "Promised Land" doesn't give us is the science and the multiple environmental studies that show that fracking is safe, highly monitored and a boon to local economies. What it doesn't give us is any sense of the breakthrough this process has been and what it means for the energy future of the United States; the jobs (more than 1.7 million of them) the 90 percent fewer carbon emissions, and less dependence on foreign oil. (No wonder the oil-rich nation of Abu Dhabi was an investor in a film.)
I went to see the film with low expectations and they were well met. Continued...
No doubt there was a decent and intelligent film to be made about the trade-offs and conflicts that arise in communities when industrialization and economic opportunity come knocking. But "Promised Land" isn't it. It's pure anti-development propaganda.
Unlike "The China Syndrome," which basically stopped the growth of the U.S. nuclear industry in the 1980s, "Promised Land" will fail to have the same effect on America's natural gas industry, if only because it isn't nearly as good a melodrama. But it is certainly ironic that the environmental types who want to protect the planet from the burning of fossil fuels today, are the same ones who screamed about the dangers of nuclear power 40 years ago.
"Michael Clayton" was an entertaining movie. But it required any thinking person to suspend disbelief in a big way. After all, to believe that today's risk-averse corporate executives would order people killed and thereby put their own comfy lifestyles at risk just to win a lawsuit requires a child-like ignorance of how big business and big businessmen actually operate.
In that film, the evil agri-giant was trying to hide the dangers of genetically modified (GM) food.
However, just the other day, in real life, one of the leaders of the anti-GM movement, British environmentalist Mark Lynas, admitted how wrong he had been to "demonize" an industry that has allowed millions of people to be fed world-wide.
"As an environmentalist, and someone who believes that everyone in this world has a right to a healthy and nutritious diet of their choosing, I could not have chosen a more counter-productive path," Lynas said in a mea-culpa speech to fellow greens. "I now regret it completely."
He continued: "So I guess you'll be wondering — what happened between 1995 and now that made me not only change my mind but come here and admit it? Well, the answer is fairly simple: I discovered science, and in the process I hope I became a better environmentalist."
Maybe one day Matt Damon will discover science and come to realize that his anti-fracking efforts are ignorant and counter-productive to human health and progress.
Spoiler alert: He won't.

I was astonished to read this in Jennifer Dunning's review of Symphony Space's Wall to Wall George Balanchine: "It was Lincoln Kirstein, who brought Balanchine to the United States from Paris in the 1930's who said, 'But first a school,' a famous dictum attributed once again to Balanchine in this program." She called the supposed misattribution "one of the few disappointments" of the day.
Jennifer Dunning wrote a book, published in 1985, about SAB called "But First A School." The first lines of her preface are these: "'Would you come to America to start a ballet company?' The question was simple and direct, posed by Lincoln Kirstein to Georges Balanchine in London in 1933. 'But first,' Balanchine is said to have answered, 'a school.' That response is almost as firm a part of the Balanchine legend as his much-quoted notion that 'ballet is woman.' Their origins may be lost in time and embellished in myth."
Has Ms. Dunning acquired new information cutting through time and myth to definitively identify the source of the quote?
Personally, I think "Ballet is woman" was said by Maurice Bejart.
"But first a school."Who said it?

Farrell Fan, I think a lot of the bon mots attributed to Balanchine were phrased by Lincoln Kirstein -- but he did so accurately reflecting Balanchine's thoughts. This is the current state of the lore, at least. Since Dunning's book came out quite a while ago, she may well have found new information -- she couldn't possibly have written today's article not rememering her own book. (I don't know this - I don't know Dunning - but I can't imagine a writer forgetting a key point of her own book.)
I love the Bejart attribution!
I thought Balanchine watched Westerns -- that's the lore I grew up on. I can imagine him watching Wonder Woman. Perhaps that would have been a ballet.....

Yes, Anna -- Farrell Fan and I were making a joke, but fogot the wink
Posted 22 March 2004 - 03:39 PM
Yes, Balanchine said, "Ballet is Woman", and he said it on the cover of Newsweek magazine. That journal has nurtured a negative attitude toward male dancers ever since. Those of us who were around in the male dancing business at the time are still smarting a little from it.
Posted 22 March 2004 - 05:07 PM
Yes, it's a very famous saying. And Bejart is known for making dances for men. As I wrote above, I think Farrell Fan's comment was meant as a joke, realizing that most people here would know the original. My comment was also made in that spirit.
Posted 22 March 2004 - 05:16 PM
Thanks, Alexandra. I'll be sure to post an appropriate smilie the next time I try to be funny. :rolleyes:

Gloria Govrin says that balanchine came over to her apartment to watch Gunsmoke.
But then she herself IS Wonderwoman.
But then she herself IS Wonderwoman.
Posted 24 March 2004 - 07:44 AM
Francia Russell was speaking recently about working with Balanchine. She said when rehearsals were going slowly or choreography was not flowing, Balanchine would start asking whether it was time for coffee and then launch into an enthusiastic discussion of Wonder Woman.

Marshwood repeats as Class A Wrestling Champion Massabesic comes in second; Noble, fourth
Thursday, February 21, 2013
SANFORD — For the second time in as many seasons, the Marshwood High wrestling team captured the Maine Class A State Wrestling championship, easily outdistancing all opponents including its closest challenger Massabesic which finished second.
Sanford's top wrestler was Josh Downs who finished third in the 138-pound division. Downs began the day with a 2-0 overtime win. After taking a loss in his second match, Downs went on to defeat Mount Blue's Drew Blanchet 11-8, then captured third place by defeating Westbrook's Scott Kirkpatrick. The only other Sanford wrestler to record a win was 182-pound Justin Roberge who pinned his first opponent at the championships.

The two authors we had were Sam Stone, author of the "Vampire Gene" series, and also David J Howe, who has written and co-wrote several Doctor Who books. The pair of them were a joy to have and the meetup was successful. For a group less than one year old, three guest authors is unusually good I think.

GUEST OPINION: New animal control manager strives for excellence
As the new manager of the Oakland County Pet Adoption Center and Animal Control, I am eager to build upon the achievements of my predecessor, Larry Obrecht, who during his tenure, raised the shelter's standards and implemented numerous innovative and successful programs.
Coming from a law enforcement background that spanned more than 25 years, my No. 1 priority will be to ensure the public's safety, which means the shelter will not adopt out any animal deemed to pose a threat to society. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis, not with a broad brush approach.
It is a tribute to Obrecht and the people who work here that the Oakland County Pet Adoption Center has attained the distinction of being the No. 1 public shelter in Michigan for the animal save rate and lost pets returned to owners for shelters that take in more than 5,000 animals annually. While we are proud of this record of achievement, there is room for improvement, which is why a strong, aggressive effort will continue to improve our adoption, save, spay and neutering and return-to-owner rates.
As a governmental operation, we serve three basic functions: providing shelter for lost or abandoned animals; adopting out as many felines and canines as possible, and to control the animal population. Since we are a public entity, we must accept every animal brought to us, which a private shelter is not required to do. That sometimes puts us in the untenable position of being forced to make some very difficult decisions with regard to the fate of the animals brought to us.
However, there are several things groups and individuals can do to help mitigate the frequency of those difficult decisions.
First, more rescues need to become involved with us and take our hard-to-place animals. Second, pet owners should have their cats spayed and neutered since felines that run away from home and wander loose have a tendency to reproduce at a prolific rate, causing an overpopulation problem of enormous proportions. Third, more people should seriously consider adopting a pet. Caring, kind and compassionate potential pet owners are desperately needed to provide a nurturing environment and loving home for our adorable furry friends.
We have made it as convenient as possible for those who have demanding schedules and don't have the time to get to the shelter during work hours. The shelter is open Mondays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. 10 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and on most Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
In my brief time on the job, I've been impressed with the dedication and professionalism of our staff. They are a very skilled and highly motivated group of men and women who constantly strive for excellence in customer service. Every one of our employees is focused on making sure that when customers visit the shelter they feel comfortable and welcome. When their business is concluded, we want them to leave with smiles on their faces and confident in the knowledge they have been well-served.
I'm excited about this new chapter in my life and hope that over the next few months you, our customers who deserve the very best we have to offer, will be pleased with the effort put forward by everyone here to make the Oakland County Pet Adoption Center the gold standard by which all other shelters across the nation are measured.
Bob Gatt is manager of the Oakland County Pet Adoption Center and Animal Control.

This weekend is expected to be fine and sunny, but the curse of Bank Holiday weather looks likely to haunt us on Monday with rain expected to spread into western parts, although eastern regions may escape with a dry day. The Bank Holiday in late May has usually been a case of sunshine and showers ever since 1967, when Harold Wilson's Government replaced the variable date of the Whitsun holiday with a spring holiday fixed on the last Monday in May. And some of those spring Bank Holidays have been truly dreadful. One of the biggest disappointments was in 1984, when a cold Arctic wind blew and l
Make the most of any sunshine because it's going to take another turn for the worse — and it's too late to bag a bargain in sunnier climes. The coming week is half-term for many families, but those hoping for an end to the unseasonably dreary weather will be disappointed. The Met Office predicts a peak of about 18C in London tomorrow, but temperatures will fall back to 13C on Tuesday as the unsettled weather returns. The coldest spring for more than 30 years has prompted Britons to flee. A record number will take breaks over the Bank Holiday and half-term than at any time since the start of t
It will hardly come as a great surprise, but this spring is on track to be the coldest for 34 years. The Met Office estimates that the UK temperature will average about 6.1C (43F). March, in particular, was 3.3C below average and the coldest since 1962. It was also the coldest Easter on record, with minus 12.5C recorded at Braemar in the Highlands on March 31. In fact, March was colder than any of the three months of winter. April saw cold snaps and heavy snow mid-month in the South and across the Channel Islands, where the early Jersey Royal potato crop was ruined. Mor
Tornados are not fully understood — one of their greatest mysteries is the appearance of balls of light occasionally flying nearby. On November 30, 1872, a tornado swept through Newbottle, Northamptonshire, tearing up trees, hedges and stone walls and sucking out the water from a pond. Thomas Beesley, a local chemist, reported that witnesses observed "a huge revolving ball of fire travelling from six to ten feet off the ground. William Marshall, a gardener at Newbottle Manor ... distinctly saw sparks of a red colour emitted from the ball about six feet from the ground, and this is confirmed b
The aftermath of a major tornado is a bewildering experience. On a survey of the damage in Moore, Oklahoma, after the 1999 tornado, the most striking feature was the scale of devastation. All that was left of many houses were the concrete plinths they had stood on, but the tornado also left some bizarre sights. Houses on one side of a road were completely undamaged, while houses on the other side had vanished. Some houses had even been scythed down the middle, with the insides of the remaining half left unscathed — kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms had been left neat and tidy but exposed to
The huge tornado that tore through Moore, on the outskirts of Oklahoma City, will undoubtedly rank as one of the deadliest and most devastating tornados on record in the US. It was more than a mile wide and estimated to have winds up to 320km/h (200mph), although this may be upgraded once the damage on the ground has been assessed in detail. The tornado was so powerful that debris from it was reported to have fallen 100 miles away. Moore was devastated by another big tornado on May 3, 1999, when 36 people were killed and 583 others injured. That one carved a similar path, and damaged or destr
This week marks the centenary of the Chelsea Flower Show. The Royal Horticultural Society had outgrown its previous show grounds at Temple Gardens near the Embankment, Central London, and on May 20, 1913, it opened for the first time at the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. That first Chelsea show opened on a cool morning, although temperatures reached a pleasant 62F (17C) later on and it remained warm over much of the three-day show, which attracted huge crowds. But the spring of 1913 had been a desperate time for gardeners and farmers across Britain, with heavy rain, floods, cold and w
May is not normally a snowy month, so it was a shock on Wednesday when snow fell in the West Country, and in parts of Shropshire snow was up to 8cm (3in) deep. This was far from a unique winter spell of weather in May. One of the worst such episodes was in May 1935 when frosts and snow were widespread across the UK. On May 16, in the notorious frost hollow at Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, the temperature fell to minus 8.6C (16.5F) at night. Widespread snow followed, and in the Yorkshire Dales villages had to dig themselves out of snowdrifts 2-3ft deep. "Omnibus services were dislocated and ma

That's not my...
That's not my donkey...
"Helps very young children develop language and sensory skills."
Sheffield City Council 'Recommended Reads for Babies and Toddlers
Age: 6 months+
Board book:
12 pages
160 x 160mm
Author/Editor: Fiona Watt
Illustrator: Rachel Wells
Practical Pre-School Silver Award 2009
The award is decided by Practical Pre-School product testers, who said of "That's not my puppy": "This book had immediate appeal for all the children. It is great for a wide age range as the babies enjoy the pictures and textures and the older children enjoy reading the words themselves and developing their vocabulary. It was also good for raising awareness of differences and similarities. It retained appeal for the children throughout the testing period."
Prima Baby Reader Awards "Best Buy" 2004 and 2006
Usborne That's not my... Touchy-feely books were voted Best Buy in the Toddler Book Category of the Prima Baby Reader Awards in 2004 and 2006.
A simple idea that has stretched to all kinds of themes. Chunky boardbooks with textured pages take a child through a simple narrative: "That's not my dinosaur/teddy/dolly/tractor". And on each page there's a reason why not - like bumpy skin, shiny hair ties, squashy wheels, until eventually we arrive at the right item. As well as the touchy-feely experience, the basic vocabulary repetition is a valuable - and enjoyable - early learning tool.
Junior Magazine Top Hundred Children's Books voted by readers
From That's Not My Monkey, to That's Not My Car...or Princess... or Bear — you'll be spoilt for choice with this excellent collection. The books are brimming with bright pictures and patches in all different textures, and are specially designed to develop sensory and language awareness. They're great for teaching colours — and it's always a proud day when your child is eventually able to 'spot the mouse' in this ingenious series.
Irish Daily Mail
With everything from 'angel' to 'truck', there's sure to be a subject to fascinate your little one from this touchy-feely range. With myriad textures, it's a great concept, and a really lovely presentation.
Waterstone's Guide to Kids' Books 2008
A valuable and enjoyable learning tool.
Junior Parenting Magazine Top 100 Books 2007
The brilliantly simple concept is a winner with very young children, trusted by parents and still one of the best baby series on the market.
The Bookseller
Absolutely lovely series of touchy-feely books. Great illustrations and nice textures.
Warwick Books Newsletter
A fantastic range of indestructible chunky board books designed to appeal to inquisitive little fingers. The books feature bright and colourful illustrations, with different textures to touch and feel on each page. With books in the series on a wide range of popular childhood themes, from Pirates to Princesses, there's something for everyone.
Mel Harris of Waterstone's
[Usborne's] excellent That's not my... series of baby books- with their touchy-feely segments- have kept baby amused for hours as he explores new tactile sensations... There are six examples in each book and there are many, many books. That's not my Pirate, That's not my Penguin, That's not my Robot... the list is endless.
Bishop's Stortford Observer
Almost everyone with kids of a certain age is familiar with the That's not my... range of children's books – memorable, instantly recognisable and, most important of all, great fun for little ones. They have become a classic series and definitely one of our favourites.
Tesco Books Blog
Little man has a little basket full of books but none have yet grabbed his attention like this book, which I must say is because it is a touchy feely book. The pages are very clear and bright. P has just started to learn how to read and loves that she can read most of the words in the book to her brother. The book is great for getting you in the Christmas mood and would again make a great stocking filler. Through out the story you search for the author's donkey on each page they point out different features on the donkey like their blanket, ears, hooves and how they are not quite right.

Do you agree or disagree with the reviews below? Why not write your own?
Thats not my books
As a parent of an 8 month old boy, I have yet to find anything like these books. Fantastic. My son has Down's syndrome - his development has been fantastic, which I truly believe these books have had a great help with.

A. No.
A. He's not a secret socialist. He's not any kind of socialist at all. He's not challenging the power of the corporations. The banking reforms that have been suggested are not particularly far reaching. He says we must have room for innovation. But we had innovation -- look where it got us. So I just...I can't...I mean laugh out loud, really.
I was on Glenn Beck recently and he said Canada is a socialist country. Well, there is a party in Canada that's called "socialist" within the Democratic party, that's won some provincial elections, never won a federal election. It would be news to them that Canada is socialist. So it's just unserious.
They always use socialism to try to defeat moderate reforms...just because something is government run doesn't mean it's socialist. I've never heard anybody say we have a socialist army.

Caroline Baum photo by David Corbett |
Rodolfo is texting, waiting for Marcello to show up for a music rehearsal for La bohème.
Maestro Christian Badea paces the Opera Australia rehearsal room, cracking jokes. He may be Romanian by birth but when he speaks he sounds like a don in a Scorsese movie. There's a ripe 'don't mess with me' roundness to his vowels, an accent that betrays years studying in New York and then working in Savannah. It's his first time in Australia.
He picks over the score of acts three and four in forensic detail, a musical detective sifting through evidence to examine the nuances of every phrase, correcting tempi with a hint here and there about emphasis and diction.
'I know you are a great Tosca, Takesha, but right now I need you to be shy and gentle as a wallflower. You will die beautifully and with passion,' he adds, ' but not just yet!'
He keeps the mood in the room light, energetic - serious and playful at the same time. It's quite a skill to be authoritative without being heavy and makes the process, which is very detailed and focused, look deceptively easy. I realise what I'm really watching is the building up of trust to make the singers feel they are in safe hands.
To Takesha: 'That was good, it was about sixty per cent, but I want you to go for broke here, really push me backwards. Don't worry, I'm not going to make you sing too much or you'll kill yourself.'
To Marcello: 'It's Mi-Mi , not Mi-Mee - too heavy.'
And : 'Sing out more! She's the one who's sick, not you. You are the good guy, you care about her so be generous , you are like an older brother to her, don't be too reserved.'
And: 'We have to milk the money notes not the transitions.'
And: 'Marcello, here the character is rather edgy and kinda crunchy'
Takesha laughs: 'Crunchy... I like that'
The Maestro again: 'You are both young, too many ralentandos and you will end up sounding middle-aged!'
To Musetta: 'I think you should slap him (Marcello) at this point otherwise what he's doing is domestic abuse. Is Gale asking you to do that?'
Musetta nods.
'Great, then he gets excited and they can have lovely make-up sex later,' jokes the maestro.
Which is probably exactly what Puccini was thinking.
Read the next installment of 'Backstage with the Bohemians', or skip to part 1...3, 4, 5, 6.
Book tickets to see La bohème at the Sydney Opera House, from 31 December 2012.

A low audio video cabinet as room divider
"We ripped out all the walls of our living room, dining room and kitchen and then added a new kitchen. We ended up with a living/dining area 33 feet long and almost 19 feet wide. We needed a cabinet to house all the AV system including the front speakers that was not tall so that the space still felt large. So we dug a channel through the concrete floor and installed a tube from the attic to an island cabinet. The tube carries power, rear speaker wires, speaker wires for the library and a component A/V cable to a projector for projection to a 7' wide pull down screen that is recessed in the ceiling above the cabinet.
The cabinet was designed to use Ikea kitchen cabinets. They are actually the same cabinets used in our new kitchen with different hardware. It consists of four 24" sink bases with the sink frame cut off the tops. This brought them down to 24" high. There is one 12" cabinet that was also cut down to 24" high which created space for a center speaker. The layout is two 24" cabinets at each end with the 12" cabinet in the center. Since wiring A/V systems is a hassle, to say the least, we decided to have the back of the cabinet facing the dining area all doors that accessed all the equipment.
Ikea was smart enough to make the shelf support holes in the back of the cabinet the same distance from the outside edge as the front holes so the backs could be eliminated and replaced by doors. However, this created a horizontal stability problem so panels were installed in the middle of right speaker cabinet, the 12" center cabinet. A shorter internal panel was installed in the left speaker cabinet to permit the woofer to pass under it.
Doors for the cabinets that have loudspeakers were purchased from the cheapest line that has framed panels. The inner panel was cut out leaving only a hinged frame over which speaker cloth was stretched. Only one cabinet on the dining room side need speaker cloth to permit maximum sound out put form the woofer whose cabinet has speaker cloth both sides.
The ends and top of the cabinet were constructed from 88" high cabinet end panels. We lucked out as there was shipment damage on quite a few of them and got them from the defective goods section.
The cabinets with doors back and front created a problem in that they are about 25" deep. The tall end panels are 24" and we wanted a little overhang both sides. The system is built with Nexus yellow brown doors. To make an "extension patch" seem like a design element we cut the yellow brown top down the middle and installed a 2 1/2" "stripe/extension using Nexus black-brown which gave us the overhangs on both side we wanted. The top could have been made with one 88" high cabinet end cover panel and one 36" high end cover panel but due to the damaged panels the top had to fabricated in three parts. All joins were made with biscuit joiners. This was my first use of biscuit joiners which are great but I'm yet to master perfect joins."

Center of the universe
So every physics/astro student is told there is no center of the universe, imagine it like a balloon and every point expands equally from every point.
Except, there is a center of a balloon. Right in the middle where the air is. The universe isn't the flat surface of a balloon, it is 3 dimensions and expands in 3 dimensions. Now, if we are measuring from Earth, and pick a direction, there must be a galaxy out there that is the farthest from Earth. Unless space curves completely back in on itself. There is some debate about that. Now, this galaxy is likely too far for us to actually ever see, but it exists. And if we measure in every direction, there should be similar 'farthest galaxies'. The distances to these farthest galaxies won't necessarily be the same. But there should be a point in space where the distance to these 'farthest galaxies' is roughly the same in all directions. That point would then be the center of the universe. I'm sure this has been thought of and holes poked through it, but I'd like to hear others' thoughts. |

The balloon analogy is for a 2d universe.
Imagine you are a 2d flat creature on the surface of the balloon there is no centre. |
Nov4-09, 09:27 PM | #3 |
It all depends on definitions really. There is a centre of the universe with regard to the fact that it's the point where it expanded from.
The centre doesn't exist in any of the three dimensions we can comprehend, so it's all a bit moot. |

Center of the universe
If a center could be identified, wouldn't it need to be plotted over time?
Nov5-09, 06:23 AM | #5 |
I have always struggled with this one
I am not arrogant enough to challenge the statement that there is no centre, as I have heard it stated before, and I am sure by much brainier people than me, but in the interests of discussion and provoking the right answers via my own stupidity, here is my (incorrect) thought process on it anyway: At t=0s, all matter is in the centre At t=1s all matter is heading off in different directions At t=1s some matter is at one side of the universe, and some matter is on another side of the universe At t=1s the universe now has a finite size with edges/boundaries Therefore, why is there not a point within the universe, perhaps occupied by nothing, that is no more towards one side than the other? And the same in all dimensions thus a true 3 dimensional centre point? |
Nov5-09, 06:58 AM | #6 |
Just like blowing up the balloon with the 2D universe, for the 2D creatures there is no centre in the 2 dimensions they are aware of. Lenth, width. To be aware of the fact the centre of the baloon lies in a 3rd dimension, you need to be aware of depth. Moving this concept to a 3D universe. The centre lies in an nth spatial dimension. Length, width, height, sometihng else. It acutally can't have centre defined by the 3 dimensions. |

there are certain parts of the analogy that are not important - I discussed it here:

I think its because our perception of what the big bang was is whats confusing. It wasnt an explosion with a center but it was the expansion of space itself. Also you couldnt even find a center since there is no definite point of complete rest. Its all relative.
Mar11-10, 10:18 AM | #9 |
Wasn't the three dimensional expansion of the universe discovered by observing the red shift, then logically reckoning that by working backwards, everything must have come from some definite point in space ?
Big Bang matter and light radiated outward in all directions, so there must be a very big dark hole left behind. (Just kidding. Or am I ? ;) Light emittted from the Big Bang must still be expanding the universe by continually creating more space (at the speed of light), and that light is continually creating the ever expanding "edge" of the universe. Physical matter (unable to keep up with C) is surely being left far behind. May I take the original question a little further ? We know gravity can bend light, but can it slow it down ? Yes, because black holes stop it entirely. So the gravitic pull of the mass of the universe must be slowing down its expansion by decelerating the light from the Big Bang. (Imagine gravity's effect if you travelled from the Earth's centre to it's surface.) So the further you are from the centre of the universe, yet still within the sphere of expanding matter, the slower light will travel in the outward direction. (Until it goes beyond the mattersphere.)(Did I just invent a new word ?)(I bet someone got there first.) But does this gravity also speed up light going toward the centre of the universe ? If so, could we construct an instrument that would compare the two speeds, and thereby indicate our distance from the centre ? If it's not actually heresy, can I ask: Has anyone figured out which direction from our solar system is "inward", back toward the origin of the Big Bang ? Or does that question naively ignore the extra dimensions ? |

BUT there is no 'definite point in space' So the rest of your post is wrong. |

There wasn't an empty black space where everything exploded out into. The big bang created the space. It was the actual universe (ie space-time and everything) being created and expanding |

Imagine INFINITE line (or surface). Now you expand (or contract it, if we "go backwards") You divide all distances by 1000, and now all objects are 1000 times closer. But still it is infinite. Go go backwards even deeper, dividing all by 10000000000000000000. Now it is extremely dense and still it is infinite and there is no 'center'. |
Mar11-10, 11:50 AM | #14 |
That would mean time would have no beginning. Please patiently correct me if I have misunderstood you. |
Mar11-10, 12:55 PM | #15 |
Big Bang has definite location in time, but not in space. If Universe is Infinite now (which is very likely) then it was ALWAYS infinite. here si a mathematical model At t=1 we have an infinite line (all real numbers) from -infinity to +infinity Going back in time, say, t=0.01 we have all distances 100 times smaller, but our line is infinite. It is also infinite at t=0.00000001 or t=0.00000000000000000001 So it was always infinite at any t>0 However, the location in time of Big Bang is clear, it is at t=0. |
Mar11-10, 02:28 PM | #16 |
Saying that "the big bang created space" is a little presumptious. I know that many people are using that as an *assumption* based on relativity, but the idea is only an interpretation - and it may not be right. This is one of the things that the Gravity Probe B is out to answer.
James Overduin, currently assistant professor at Towson University in Maryland, is keeping in close contact with the project and has published the statement that, "spacetime behaves relationally but exists absolutely", based on information that is coming in from the probe. On another note, I don't understand why people make the statement that time existed before space did. Why do we constantly forget that spacetime is a singularity? You cannot isolate one from the other. (This is another problem with Verlinde's idea. He based it on the assumption that time existed before space). |
Mar12-10, 01:10 AM | #17 |
Eternal time is another confounding fallacy, time is irrelevant prior to the big bang. As Einstein noted, time is what clocks measure. No clocks, no time.

Hey, ladies! Wondering what to get your Valentine? Turned every store upside down but couldn't find that perfect gift you were looking for? Here is help. Founded by Ennio Capasa, CNC takes finely tailored jackets, casual wear and denim to a new height. Try this CNC Costume National Cotton Rib Military Blazer with Shoulder Detail in Clay. Long as the name is, the item is sophistication materialised. The color is pretty unusual, Clay. The 100% cotton material would go easy on the skin and ensure maximum comfort. I particualrly like the fron button down design. The minute details are even more appealing and enhance the look of the outfit. Take for instance the 'Super Slim' Side Zip Pocket Detail in Denim Blue styled with CNC Costume National Dark Wash. You can order your Blazer to be made to fit you snugly. It wouldn't look its best if it's not the perfect fit. It has a price tag for $536.00.

Home Improvement Fraud Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dillon today announced that his'office has filed charges against 32 individuals and home improvement companies, some in our area, for doing business in Nassau County without a license. This is the largest number of firms charged at one time since the law was passed in 1972. If convicted, each face one year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. Dillon said, "Today's charges are the latest in a crackdown against unlicensed contractors who fail to comply with the local law. The charges follow consumer complaints to the District Attorney's Office and County Consumer Affairs Office by residents who felt they were bilked. Some complained of poor workmanship, while others stated they lost their down payments for work which was never done. Following such a complaint, a check of the records showed that these firms were not licensed to do home improvement work in the County." . In one case, a Bethpage homeowner said he contracted with George SantuUi, owner of G & J GontractinginXpritof 1984 to remodel a kitchen. A $ 1,000 deposit was given to Saritulli, and tpdate no work has been done and the monfey has not been returned.

Mark Hertsgaard
Author and Journalist
HOT is a father's cry against climate change, but most of the book focuses on solutions, offering a deeply reported blueprint for how all of us―as parents, communities, companies and countries―can navigate this unavoidable new era. Combining reporting from across the nation and around the world with personal reflections on his daughter's future, Hertsgaard provides "pictures" of what is expected over the next fifty years: Chicago's climate transformed to resemble Houston's; dwindling water supplies and crop yields at home and abroad; the redesign of New York and other cities against mega-storms and sea-level rise. Above all, he shows who is taking wise, creative precautions. For in the end, HOT is a book about how we'll survive.
MARK HERTSGAARD, called "one of America's finest reporters" by Barbara Ehrenreich, is the author of five previous books that have been translated into sixteen languages, including On Bended Knee: The Press and the Reagan Presidency and Earth Odyssey: Around the World In Search of Our Environmental Future.

For 35 years, John Cronin has dedicated his career to environment and innovation. For his accomplishments, Time magazine named him a "Hero for the Planet" and People magazine described him as "equal parts detective, scientist and public advocate."
Cronin is Director and CEO of Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries, which is developing real-time technologies and observatories for waterways around the world. He is also Senior Fellow in Environmental Affairs at Pace University where he is helping develop the next generation of environmental and economic policy for water.
Cronin has worked as an advocate, legislative and congressional aide, commercial fisherman, professor, author and filmmaker. He is known internationally for his Hudson River work, for which the Wall Street Journal called him "a unique presence on America's major waterways." He served as Hudson Riverkeeper from 1983 – 2000, a position that has inspired a legacy of 200 Waterkeeper programs that fight pollution on six continents.
Cronin co-authored The Riverkeepers with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., published by Scribner with an introduction by former Vice President Al Gore. He has written numerous articles, including for the Op Ed page of The New York Times. He wrote and co-produced the film The Last Rivermen, named an outstanding documentary by the Motion Picture Academy Foundation. His essay, "Where Human and Nature Meet," is featured in the upcoming book, Oceans, which will be released on Earth Day by Public Affairs Books, and accompany the Disney and National Geographic motion picture Oceans.
Cronin has been the subject of three books and extensive major media print and broadcast news stories, documentaries and profiles. The Knight-Ridder newspapers praised him as a "hero in one of the great success stories of the modern environmental movement."

He has spent a quarter century covering subjects ranging from Hurricane Katrina and the Asian tsunami to the assault on the Amazon and the troubled relationship of climate science and politics. He has been reporting on the environment for The New York Times since 1995, a job that has taken him to the Arctic three times. In 2003, he became the first Times reporter to file stories and photos from the sea ice around the Pole. He spearheaded a three-part Times series and one-hour documentary in 2005 on the transforming Arctic and another series, "The Climate Divide," on the uneven impacts of climate change.
He has written books on the Amazon rain forest, global warming and the once and future Arctic. Before joining The Times, Mr. Revkin was a senior editor of Discover, a staff writer for the Los Angeles Times, and a senior writer at Science Digest. Mr. Revkin has a biology degree from Brown and a Master's degree in journalism from Columbia. He has taught at Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism and the Bard College Center for Environmental Policy.
He lives in the Hudson River Valley with his wife and two sons. In spare moments, he is a performing songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who occasionally accompanies Pete Seeger at regional shows and plays in a folk-roots band, Uncle Wade.
