Shelly Penn teaches importance of uniqueness and individuality in The Geoma Tree.
Parkersburg, IA (PRWEB) February 25, 2014
Who better to author a childrens book than a busy mother-of-three and in-home childcare provider?
The Geoma Tree is an uplifting, educational childrens book, intended to both educate children on geometric shapes and the importance of uniqueness, individuality and acceptance of others. For toddlers through children in elementary school, the books universal message will appeal to and benefit any child.
With colorful, whimsical illustrations, The Geoma Tree follows Circle, a melancholy shape left feeling a little insecure alongside the other shapes. Over time, Geoma Tree demonstrates the beauty in differences, teaching Circle that every shape is to be celebrated and adored.
Penn hopes the book can be used to establish a dialogue with children on the importance of self-esteem, inclusion of others, overcoming jealousy and teaching acceptance of all.
A teacher, parent, or grandparent could easily help a child relate the story to his own life, thus teaching a personal lesson in tandem with an educational lesson, Penn said.
About the Author:
Shelly Penn graduated from Upper Iowa University with a degree in elementary education and an endorsement in early childhood education. Penn opened her home- based childcare program, Stay and Play Daycare, in 2004. She lives in Parkersburg, Iowa, with her husband and three children and has lead or assisted with childrens ministries since 2008.

text: You are viewing Shop Talk - 9 of 14 The 6 Board-Game Movies Hollywood Is Planning Next By Shelby Fero, matthew moore, Nate Maggio It seems Hasbro has convinced Universal Studios to sign a six year deal that will produce four movies based on a series of Hasbro children's games, such as Monopoly and Stretch Armstrong, but excluding G.I. Joe and Transformers. Basically every toy that cannot be made into a movie. Of course, a bad idea has never stopped Hollywood before and "Battleship: The Movie" is set to release in 2012. So we thought we'd give Universal a head start, free of charge, with some of our own ideas for your upcoming movies.

Women, houses, cars â you name it and he's bought it. But that's just life when your father owns the entire city and every property on it. But when Mr. Monopoly Sr signs a deal that would put the city's less fortunate in direct danger, a feisty young journalist convinces his son that there's more to life than money. Hungry Hungry Hippos Power, money, revenge â humans all hunger for something. But in the animal kingdom there is only one hunger: that for survival. Join BBC and Morgan Freeman as we take you up close and personal with one of the biggest gluttons on the planet in Hungry, Hungry Hippos. Ouija It seems like the perfect ending for the perfect family when they move into a sleepy Colorado neighborhood. But when the two young children discover a mysterious board in an upstairs cupboard, they unwittingly give voice to horrors they never could've imagined. Can they figure out a way to quiet the spirits once and for all, or will it be âGoodbyeâ? Clue When your family is more prolific than the Kennedys' and more secretive than the Knights Templar, reunions can be a tedious affair. Especially when the mysterious, estranged patriarch is discovered dead before dinner can be served. Now in two days the Von Clu family must try to find a killer without murdering each other first. (Will be a quirky reboot of the storied Clue franchise) Candyland It's a tale of sweet gone sour when Lord Licorice descends upon Candyland. Slick as syrup and vicious as a viper, he concocts a plan to take control over the Kingdom and the inhabitants â starting with its King and Queen. But what he doesn't know is hidden in the Gumdrop Mountains is the true heir to the throne: a princess hidden away by her mother long ago. Now on the eve of her sixteenth birthday Princess Lolly is discovered by the evil Lord, and she embarks on a journey (along with a few faithful friends) to win back her home. Stretch Armstrong Growing up as a kid, Stretch always knew he was...different. Even before his adoptive parents revealed to him he had been a stem cell and rubber band experiment gone awry, Stretch understood he was not like other children. Maybe that's why, as an adult, he's had a string of girlfriends but could never really find the one. Until he meets Liza â a sexy scientist who just wants to understand him. But is it his soul she wants to search, or his molecular structure?

The Swerve: How the World Became Modern
Stephen Greenblatt, PhD, Cogan University Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University
1 Session: Monday, January 27, 7:00–8:30pm | Hunnewell Building
Nearly six hundred years ago, a short, genial, cannily alert man in his late thirties took a very old manuscript off a library shelf, saw with excitement what he had discovered, and ordered that it be copied. That book was the last surviving manuscript of an ancient Roman philosophical epic, On the Nature of Things, by Lucretius—a beautiful poem of the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functioned without the aid of gods, that religious fear was damaging to human life, and that matter was made up of very small particles in eternal motion, colliding and swerving in new directions. One of the world's most celebrated scholars, Stephen Greenblatt has crafted both an innovative work of history and a thrilling story of discovery in his book The Swerve, in which one manuscript, plucked from a thousand years of neglect, changed the course of human thought and made possible the world as we know it.
Déjà vu all over again: Denialism of Climate Change and of Evolution
Eugenie Scott, PhD, Director, National Center for Science Education
Monday, February 10, 7:00–8:30pm | Hunnewell Building
Both evolution and global warming are "controversial issues" in education, but are not controversial in the world of science. There is remarkable similarity in the techniques that are used by both camps to promote their views. The scientific issues are presented as "not being settled", or that there is considerable debate among scientists over the validity of claims. Both camps practice "anomaly mongering", in which a small detail, seemingly incompatible with either evolution or global warming, is held up as dispositive of either evolution or of climate science. Although in both cases, reputable, established science is under attack for ideological reasons, the underlying ideology differs: for denying evolution, the ideology of course is religious; for denying global warming, the ideology is political and/or economic. Eugenie Scott will deconstruct the arguments and identify the ideologies that hinder widespread understanding of evolution and responsiveness to climate change.

Darwin in the City: How Modern Civilization Drives Evolution
Carl Zimmer, Columnist, The New York Times
Monday, March 24, 7:00–8:30pm | Hunnewell Building
When we picture evolution, we think of fish crawling from the sea hundreds of millions of years ago, or birds evolving into new species on remote islands. But evolution takes place today, in the most unexpected places–in city parks, in farm fields, and in hospitals. Humans, scientists now recognize, are a powerful evolutionary force, pushing life in new directions. Now, researchers are wondering where we're headed. Carl Zimmer, author of Evolution: Making Sense of Life, will present some of the ways that modern civilization drives evolution and current thinking about humans as a force of change.

Uncorking the Past: The Quest for Wine, Beer, and Extreme Fermented Beverages
Patrick E. McGovern, PhD, Scientific Director, Biomolecular Archaeology Laboratory for Cuisine, Fermented Beverages, and Health, University of Pennsylvania Museum
1 Session: Monday, April 14, 7:00–8:30pm | Weld Hill
Fermented beverages have probably been with the human race from its beginning in Africa. Following a tantalizing trail of archaeological, chemical, artistic, and textual clues, Patrick E. McGovern, the leading authority on ancient alcoholic beverages, will describe how enterprising our ancestors were in concocting a host of beverages from a vast array of natural products (honey, grape, barley, rice, sorghum, chocolate). As humans spread around the planet, this had profound effects on our cultural and biological development. Some of these beverages, including the earliest alcoholic beverage from China (Chateau Jiahu), the mixed drink served at the King Midas funerary feast (Midas Touch), and the chocolate beverage (Theobroma), have been re-created by Dogfish Head Brewery, shedding light on how our ancestors made them and providing a taste sensation and a means for us to travel back in time. The talk will be followed by a tasting of ancient beers recreated by Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales. Participants in the tasting must be 21 or older.

This page contains procedures for a classroom demonstration that illustrates the concept of inertia. A dollar bill is placed between two soda bottles, with the top bottle filled with water. The currency acts as a water sealant, creating a system of balanced upward and downward forces. The water remains at rest until the demonstrator yanks out the dollar bill. Background information and reference material on Newton's First law are included.
Phun Physics is a collection of physics demonstrations which introduce basic physics topics, are approximately 45 minutes long, and can be varied for presentation to grades 3-12. SEE RELATED ITEMS BELOW for a link to the full collection.

Unit Title: Newton's First Law & Inertia Cool classroom demo for illustrating inertia at rest. A dollar bill is placed between two soda bottles; the top bottle is filled with water. Upward/downward forces are balanced because the dollar acts as a sealant. Quickly removing the dollar bill creates a net unbalanced force on the water, which whooshes into the soda bottle below.

These columns about recommended restaurants aren't in any way my reviews of the establishments.
They are simply personal preferences - places I've eaten and found specific menu items that I find delicious and diabetic-friendly. The choices are healthy and fit into anyone's everyday dining.
If you are watching what you eat, by choice or by diagnosis, you should have already been given the clues to menu wording on foods to avoid: creamed, breaded, coated, fried, in butter sauce, with bacon or bacon drippings (think spinach salad dressing) and so on.
Eating is scary when you are first diagnosed, particularly when combined with a weight-loss plan. Am I getting enough nutrition? How much can I have? After I consume it, what will this food do to me? Will I ever cook and eat again as a "normal" person?
And those questions are just when at home. Dining out poses other problems and temptations, but what I want you to learn is that eating out promises much pleasure.
My suggestions don't apply to the special-occasion, go overboard treat, when we momentarily stray from diets, but to eating out in general, trying to adhere to sensible choices. There's some great food waiting.
Be sure to consult your diabetic professionals about the particulars on what and how to eat. But as a layperson, I'll tell you where we go and what I have.
The restaurants aren't ranked from lowest to number one. Each menu is unique in its own way and the offerings are equal to another in appeal. All are tops in taste. A few may be unexpected.
Since some of the places I'll discuss aren't available statewide, I'm starting with a restaurant that is. Ours is in Charleston Town Center. It's Chick-Fil-A. Yep. The fast-food emporium.
A scan of their menu board one day revealed something new - a chicken salad sandwich on whole-grain sliced bread. I'm a sucker for anyone's chicken salad, tuna salad and coleslaw, and this sandwich fit my numbers (33 carbs). Of course I added their slaw (17 carbs), which I love and a small fresh fruit cup (17 carbs) and that made lunch.
Depending upon your carb allowance, you may eat the sandwich open-face, which reserves the right to a little more of something else.
You may also enjoy the chicken salad alone on a lettuce bed. To make a salad plate, ask for one scoop, along with a serving of tossed salad or slaw and fruit salad.
Other good selections at Chick-Fil-A that I want to get back to are the whole-grain wraps (I checked if they were) with chargrilled, Caesar or spicy fillings; an even newer (than the chicken salad) chargrilled chicken and fruit salad combo; chargrilled chicken sandwiches (their regular sandwich buns are whole-wheat); carrot-raisin salad; and chicken soup.
Complete nutrition information on all their items is available for the asking.
You can calculate and mix and match your own preferences, keeping correct portions per serving in mind.
Food allergies aside, remember to not concentrate so intently on what you can't have and instead uncover tasty bites that are allowed. The search is well worth it.
And please don't hesitate to let me know what you order when dining out and where you like to go.

< Return To Hearing
Ken Vander SchaafOctober 3, 2007 Railroad Antitrust Issues NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNTIL Statement of Ken Vander Schaaf Chairman Kohl, Senator Hatch, and distinguished Members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the issue of rail transportation costs and the quality of service experienced by a captive customer. ATK (Alliant Techsystems, Inc.) is the captive customer at two of our locations: Radford Army Ammunition Plant in southwestern Virginia, and ATK Launch Systems in and around Promontory, Utah. I am Ken Vander Schaaf, the Director of Supply Chain Management at Radford Army Ammunition Plant. In my testimony today, I will address the captive customer issues at these two facilities. The first is the Army's Radford Army Ammunition Plant, which ATK operates under a GOCO (Government Owned Contractor Operated) arrangement with the U.S. Army. The second is the ATK Launch Systems facility in Promontory, Utah, a private facility that supplies large solid rocket boosters for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Space Shuttle program, the Department of Defense's Minuteman and Trident strategic missile systems, and other large defense, commercial, and civil rocket programs. Radford Army Ammunition Plant, Radford, Virginia Radford is the nation's sole producer of single-base propellants for all military, law enforcement, and civilian ammunition. We annually produce 21 million pounds of nitrocellulose, eight and a half million pounds of propellant and four and a half million pounds of commercial powder. These products are used in the production of all small and medium caliber ammunition, tank ammunition, artillery and tactical rocket motors, explosives, and a variety of other ammunition products. Radford is the only domestic source of nitrocellulose, which is required in the production of all ammunition products, including those utilized by the military, law enforcement, and civilian sportsmen. In order to support the production of propellants, significant quantities of chemicals must be safely transferred, stored, and processed while ensuring strict compliance with environmental standards. Since the plant was first opened by the Army during World War II, Radford has relied almost exclusively on rail shipment to receive needed chemicals. The Army and ATK have established and implemented procedures to ensure the safe receipt and handling of these chemicals from the railhead throughout the production cycle. Those deliveries are critical to the ability of the facility to supply the Army and other services with propellants to support operations and training, and for ATK to meet the delivery requirements of its firm fixed price contracts with the Army in its role as the single manager for conventional ammunition. Of increasing concern, and one that is directly addressed by this hearing on the pending legislation (S. 772), are rising transportation costs and the decreased quality of rail service experienced by ATK at Radford. Over the years, Alliant Techsystems has had a fairly constant relationship with our sole rail carrier, the Norfolk Southern Railroad. Historically the Radford Army Ammunition Plant was served by two railroads, the Virginian and Norfolk Western. As you know, the Virginian was acquired by the Norfolk Southern, and we are now a "captive customer," relying on a single rail provider for the receipt of large quantities of chemicals. Rail Service at Radford: Over time, we frequently have experienced rail schedule slips due to weather, equipment breakdowns, and competing rail priorities. As a result, we plan around these potential schedule slips by building excess inventory into our business plans so that operations will continue uninterrupted, and so that we can meet the Department of Defense's expected delivery schedules. This practice is not atypical for many companies that rely on rail service for their inbound raw materials, but it adds cost and overhead to those operations. However, given these service issues, we have looked for alternatives. ATK ships out finished propellants by tractor-trailer; for that reason, we have also considered inbound shipments of chemicals into the plant via highway as an option. Although via highway shipments occur occasionally when rail service is interrupted or delayed, there are a number of considerations that make this an undesirable option in regular practice. First, the plant lacks a facility for the regular receipt and transfer of large chemical shipments by tractor trailer. In order to pursue that option, the Army would have to fund and construct such a terminal. In addition, for every single rail car of ammonia, five tractor trailers are required to transport an equivalent amount of chemical. This translates to increases in loading and shipping time, increasing the possibility of accidents, potentially requiring additional hazardous materials facilities along highways and delivery routes, and incurring added environmental and safety concerns. In summary, for large chemical shipments to Radford, we prefer to rely primarily on rail shipment. For this reason, we strongly advocate measures to address our rail carrier's sometimes ambivalent attitude towards schedules, costs, and customer needs. For mostly environmental and safety reasons, we would strongly prefer that highway shipment remain an occasional exception to the rule, rather than become our primary means of transportation. Rail Pricing at Radford: While suffering from decreased quality of service by our rail carrier, Norfolk Southern, price increases at rates substantially higher than inflation have also given our Radford facility cause for concern. Over the last three years, rail tariffs have changed and commodities have shifted within the railroad's groups, resulting in multiple, new pricing rules, each within a consistent pattern of increased costs to the customer - and leaving the customer with no means of seeking redress. For example, prior to three years ago, although pricing generally increased on an annual basis, mostly consistent with inflationary patterns, we viewed those price increases as both realistic and relatively justified. However, in May 2006, Cherokee Nitrogen, ATK's supplier for ammonia, advised us that they had just been notified by Norfolk Southern that their "zero mileage rates" had been cancelled. Effective June 1, 2006, Cherokee, which simply passes on the rail increases, was forced to raise its freight rate for shipments to our Radford facility from 39-dollars per ton to 65-dollars per ton for all future shipments of ammonia. Our first notification of this 69 percent rate increase came within 30 days of its effective date. This massive price increase demonstrates the ability of the railroad to levy price increases with little if any notice, and virtually no time for an effective rebuttal or discussion by a captive shipper (in this case, Cherokee Nitrogen), or captive customer (ATK). We understand that Norfolk Southern's rationale for rate increases relies in part on the liability risks associated with transport of toxic inhalants. In 2006, ATK was advised that those liability risks would continue to drive rail rates upward by seven to ten percent annually. While we began to adjust our planning accordingly, that rate increase estimate has proven to be significantly understated. On December 15, 2006, Norfolk Southern Railroad increased rates by 15 percent. On June 6, 2007, new rates added another 15 percent. In the last 15 months, rates have increased by over 330 percent from 39-dollars per ton (May 2006), to 132-dollars per ton (July 2007). Although we understand liability exposure, we believe that an accounting audit would demonstrate that these rate increases are excessive in comparison to actual liability-related costs. Significant fuel surcharges have also added to the cost of shipments, far out of line with any associated increases in the cost of fuel. Whenever the cost of oil increases, our rail carrier has unilaterally added a "fuel surcharge" to the cost of shipments. Norfolk Southern has then almost always then adjusted its tariff rates to incorporate the new fuel surcharges. This compounding of fuel surcharges far exceeds actual increases in fuel costs. Our experience is that railroads modify the tariff rates to incorporate the higher rates such that there is never a corresponding drop in cost of freight when the price of oil decreases. To summarize ATK's situation at our Radford facility, we believe that Norfolk Southern Railroad is deliberately trying to "price itself out" of the business of shipping chemicals at all, the end result of which will be the shifting of those hazardous materials from the railroad to the highways. Our company has several concerns with this forced path. In ATK's experience, railroad has several inherent safety advantages over trucks: railcars are constructed of stronger materials than are tanker trucks; rail traffic is more segregated from other means of transportation, whereas trucks travel on the same roads and thoroughfares with civilians; and, the number of railcars required to transport the same quantity of material as a tractor trailer differs by as much as a factor of five. Expanding on this last point, in our experience, there are significant advantages to the shipper and to the receiver when shipping with larger railcars. Each time a shipment is loaded or unloaded, the people involved are potentially exposed during the sampling process and connecting of transfer hoses. As the number of individual shipments increases - as it would if we were to ship via truck rather than rail - then the exposure time of our workers increases as well. While the chemical industry has a very good safety record in handling chemicals properly, each unnecessary transfer increases the opportunity for an incident, or an accident. For these reasons, it is the practice of our Radford facility to minimize the use of tractor trailers and truck shipments for chemicals. We use highway shipping only emergency situations, for the protection of our workers and facility, as well as the communities surrounding our facilities and through which our purchases and products travel. However, we are concerned that we may be soon forced to reconsider this practice by the policies and practices of our captive rail carrier. ATK Launch Systems, Promontory, Utah Like Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific has also demonstrated similar radical pricing trends, though our Utah carrier does not cite the risks of handling chemicals as justification for their rate increases. In 2002, ATK Promontory paid about 14,000-dollars per rail car to Union Pacific. In 2003, the rate increased by three and a half percent. In November 2005, the rate grew by another eight percent. On January 1, 2007, the rate increased by another 13 percent. In April 2007, the rate increased yet again to over 21,000-dollars per rail car, an increase of yet another 12 percent, and an increase of over 50 percent in five years. Union Pacific cites two main reasons for these rate increases: a "special train" status, and increase in fuel costs. Union Pacific recently began charging us to provide "special train" service between the shipping point and the interchange to Kansas City Southern Railway at Kansas City. However, ATK never requested this service. Rather, it was initiated in 1994 by Union Pacific to facilitate the flow of traffic across their lines. "Special train" was Union Pacific's decision, not ATK's, yet they now expect us to pay for it. The explanation given for the rate increases in April was that the Surface Transportation Board mandated that all fuel surcharges be based on transportation mileage. This increase is now permanent regardless of any future changes in fuel costs, and is on top of previous fuel surcharges that were already in excess of the actual cost of fuel expended to facilitate shipment of goods. The reasons given for rate increases reflect either services never requested by our company, or fuel surcharges in excess of rises in actual fuel costs. Similar to Radford's experiences, our Promontory facility also experiences a lack of reliability by their rail carrier. Union Pacific often misses promised pick up or delivery dates, and transit times are routinely longer than promised. For this reason, extra time is built into schedules as a matter of regular practice at our Promontory facility in order to reduce customer complaints over late deliveries. Unfortunately, because we are captive to only one rail carrier at each of our locations, we are forced to tolerate that carrier's performance, prices and attitude toward service. In addition to not having choice among rail carriers, we often do not have alternatives to rail in general. As stated earlier, a solid rocket booster shipping to Cape Canaveral in Florida is too massive to move on anything other than a railcar. The combined effect of uncertainty in rail service coupled with unreasonable price increases has proved to be a burden on our operations and our customers, and has added to ATK's cost of operation at Promontory. Those financial and schedule costs ultimately add cost and risk to our government customers at both NASA and the Department of Defense. The problem quite simply is that there is no other transportation service to use, and our observations of the feasibility of obtaining redress through the Surface Transportation Board leave us with few if any alternatives. Conclusion Thank you again, Chairman Kohl and Senator Hatch, for your leadership on this issue, and for your Committee's continued interest in looking for ways to redress these important issues. We look forward to working with you in support of this legislation, and other possible legislation needed to solve the issues facing ATK and other companies held captive by the monopoly railroad companies. I would be pleased to respond to any questions you might have. |

Thing is a BEAST! By Chris on 3/10/12
Chris would recommend this product to a friendThey aren't kidding about it being a monster, it's a BEAST. My town water uses a lot of chloramine, so I got this for the extra assurance that nothing would get to my livestock. I gave it all fours as it was expensive and I haven't really tested the output for chloramine levels. But, just based upon the sheer size of it, it definitely gives me piece of mind that nothing is getting through.

Ask a Question About 'BRS Reverse Osmosis Chloramines Monster'
Previously Asked Questions
by Daniel on February 19, 2014, @3:26 PM
I just purchased this item and I was wondering the best way to plumb it into my RO unit.... Should it be first inline than into the RO unit or should I plumb the sediment filter, chloramine monster, than the MATRIKX Carbon Block....
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Daniel,
With this unit most folks just install it first before the entire system.
Chloramine is different than Chlorine and is used in 10% of U.S. water supplies. Standard RO filters will not remove chloramines from the water. If your household water supply contains chloramines install the Chloramine Monster before your current RO system. If you are unsure if your city uses chloramines, call your water treatment center or city hall and ask. They should also be able to provide you with a water quality report as well.
Each BRS Reverse Osmosis Chloramines Monster contains a Pentek CRFC20-BB Radial Flow Carbon Filter and is ideal for chloramine taste & odor reduction in POE (Point-of-Entry) and other high-flow rate applications. The CRFC20-BB reduces chlorine, chloramines, taste & odor, and particulates from your water.
CRFC20-BB features:
- A radial flow design that offers low pressure drop, minimal carbon fine release, and extended cartridge life.
- The huge radial cartridge of surface modified carbon provides the extended contact time that is required to properly convert chloramines into harmless chloride and nitrogen.
- At common RO system incoming flow rates (less than 1g/min) the manufacturer has informed us the Pentek CRFC20-BB cartridge will last 75,000 gallons.
- At a 3:1 waste to product water ratio this filter will produce almost 19,000 gallons of RO water.
- We recommend this unit be used in conjunction with the Pentek ChlorPlus carbon blocks in your RO system.

Social Networking for Fashion Doll Lovers
Hello everyone. Kind of excited that I came across this social network. It seems very fun. New to collecting, but have had dolls all my life, Barbie, Tammy, Chrissy (who I loved!) and boy, don't I wish I still had all my dolls. I have a cloth doll from my childhood with button on limbs, but no other ones. But anyways. I have sewed all my life and am now trying my hand at making those tiny tiny outfits for some Barbie dolls that I have bought and loving it. So looking forward to doing some activities on the site and seeing other doll collectors collections.
Hello, everybody!
I'm glad to be accepted in this community.
About me, well I adore Monster High dolls!!!
and I hope to find a lot of people who adores to.
Kisses for all!
YAY!! Another Seamstress-Sistah!
Welcome, yes, I found this hobby about 1 year or so ago and love it. I had played w/Barbie, Skipper, Francie, and Ken mostly. I am working on making a vintage gown. We will see, I have a vintage sewing machine from 1961 which I like better than my new one.
Hi Babs A! Welcome.
I grew up with some of the same dolls - TNT Barbie, Casey, Christie, Mod Look Ken, G.I. Joe, Growin' Hair Chrissy and Kerry and Mia, etc. Still have a few of my childhood dolls.
I used to sew clothes for my dolls, but I have not done that recently. Tell myself that once I've reduced some extras, I will have time and space to create.
Do you create your own patterns, sew free hand, or use manufacturer's patterns? Do you prefer a specific doll body? Like TNT Barbie, Model Muse, Bellybutton or articulated?
Wish you much joy in this hobby!
Hi Babs! I'm from Philly (PA), and I've been collecting all my life, too.
I maintain a blog where I post photos of my dolls and dolls I see.
Do you have photos of your new dolls? I'd like to see what you have and like.

Local radio station wins national award
STAR 88.3 (WLAB) Recognized as the CMB Station of the Year
FORT WAYNE, Ind. –
, a contemporary Christian radio station in Fort Wayne, has been named the Radio Station of the Year for medium markets by Christian Music Broadcasters. This is the second time in four years that STAR 88.3 has been recognized with this national award.
"We want to thank the listeners for their support of us at STAR 88.3," said Melissa Montana, CEO/president for STAR 88.3. "We give God the glory for His call on our lives to bring hope to our community through this outreach, and we are thankful for the many families who partner with us."

"We congratulate STAR 88.3 for this significant recognition. This honor showcases the importance of Christian radio in our community," said Heather Barkley, director of communications at Huntington University. "We greatly value our partnership with the station because of our shared mission."
STAR 88.3 was given the Christian Music Broadcasters (CMB) Award on Sept. 4 at the networking dinner at the Disney Yacht & Beach Club Convention Center in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Radio stations were judged in five categories ranging from on-air quality to community impact and leadership in the industry. STAR 88.3's unique events, such as the Adoption Celebration and its "friendly and pleasant" tone on the air were just two of the many qualities that the judges identified as what set STAR 88.3 apart from other stations in similar size markets across the country.

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on September 30, 1924, Truman Capote went on to become a professional writer, making waves with his debut novel Other Voices, Other Rooms. His novella Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958) was adapted into a popular film, and his book In Cold Blood (1966) was a pioneering form of narrative non-fiction. Capote spent his later years pursuing celebrity and struggled with drug addiction. He died in 1984 in Los Angeles, California.
"I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true."
"To me the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it is about but the inner music that words make."
"My major regret in life is that my childhood was unnecessarily lonely."
"Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as a painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself."
"Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act."
Early Life
Acclaimed writer Truman Capote was born Truman Streckfus Persons on September 30, 1924, in New Orleans, Louisiana. One of the 20th century's most well-known writers, Capote was as fascinating a character as those who appeared in his stories. His parents were an odd pair—a small-town girl named Lillie Mae and a charming schemer called Arch—and they largely neglected their son, often leaving him in the care of others. Capote spent much of his young life in the care of his mother's relatives in Monroeville, Alabama.
In Monroeville, Capote befriended a young Harper Lee. The two were opposites—Capote was a sensitive boy who was picked on by other kids for being a wimp, while Lee was a rough and tumble tomboy. Despite their differences, Lee found Capote to be a delight, calling him "a pocket Merlin" for his creative and inventive ways. Little did these playful pals know that they would both become famous writers one day.
While he had fun with his friends, Capote also had to struggle with his nightmarish family life. Seeing little of his mother and his father over the years, he often wrestled with feeling abandoned by them. One of the few times he caught their interest was during their divorce with each of them fighting for custody as a way to hurt the other. Capote finally did get to live with his mother full time in 1932, but this reunion did not turn out as he had hoped. He moved to New York City to live with her and his new stepfather, Joe Capote.
His once-doting mother was quite different once he started to encounter her on a daily basis. Lillie Mae—now calling herself Nina—could easily be cruel or kind to Truman, and he never knew what to expect from her. She often picked on him for his effeminate ways, and for not being like other boys. His stepfather seemed to be a more stable personality in the home, but Truman was not interested in his help or support at the time. Still, he was officially adopted by his stepfather, and his name was changed to Truman Garcia Capote in 1935.
A mediocre student, Capote did well in the courses that interested him and paid little attention in those that did not. He attended a private boys' school in Manhattan from 1933 to 1936, where he charmed some of his classmates. An unusual boy, Capote had a gift for telling stories and entertaining people. His mother wanted to make him more masculine, and thought that sending him to a military academy would be the answer. The 1936-1937 school year proved to be a disaster for Capote. The smallest in his class, he was often picked on by the other cadets.

Oscar-Winning Portrayals
Truth is often more fascinating than fiction. Since the beginning of movies, actors have been portraying figures from history and bringing them to life on screen. Mastering the well-known mannerisms and characteristics of real world figures can be more challenging than portraying a fictional character. Enormous amounts of research and drastic physical transformations are not uncommon for actors wanting to properly inhabit their role on film. Whether playing a scheming Queen, a country singer, a temperamental boxer, or a pioneering writer, those performers who can accurately play the part often find Oscar gold as their reward. Here are the Academy Award-winning actors, and the larger-than-life people they portrayed.

Kemps Ridley -- The World's Most Endangered Sea Turtle
Objective/Learner Outcome The student will learn about the endangered status of the Kemp's ridley sea turtle. Since all seven species of sea turtles are endangered, threatened or vulnerable, this lesson will acquaint the student with hazards to all sea turtle species, as well as with specific efforts to save the Kemp's ridley. The student will be given enough information to take an active role in this species' preservation through contacting appropriate government officials by letter writing, drawing a picture or by e-mailing.
Introduction/Background Reportedly, Columbus' sailors had to use poles to push swarms of sea turtles out of the way of his three boats as they sailed through the Gulf of Mexico. Today, the Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) is the most endangered sea turtle in the world. Less than 60 years ago, the Kemp's ridley sea turtle was still abundant, with more than 40,000 turtles recorded nesting in a single day at the major nesting site in Mexico. Today, fewer than 3,000 Kemp's ridley nests are found in an entire year. The Kemp's ridley spends it life in shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico and along the east coast of the United States where it searches for crabs, its favorite food. Most Kemp's ridley turtles begin their lives when they hatch from eggs laid in northeastern Mexico in the state of Tamaulipas on a beach called Rancho Nuevo. A second nesting beach occurs in Padre Island, Texas. The female turtle lays approximately 100 eggs per nest and lay two or three nests a year between April and July. Six to eight weeks later, the eggs hatch. The baby turtles (called hatchlings) scurry to the Gulf of Mexico to begin their lives in the sea. There are two main reasons for the decline of the Kemp's ridley sea turtle, one of the most endangered animals in the world: 1) the historical overharvesting of turtle eggs by people for food and sale (now virtually illuminated), and (2) the turtles' incidental drowning in shrimp nets. The Mexican government began protecting the beach at Rancho Nuevo in the 1960s, and the harvesting of eggs of this species was effectively stopped. Despite this fact, the number of nests laid continued to decline until the mid 1980s when it stabilized and a slight increase has been noted in the years since 1994. Shrimp has become a popular food in the developed world. American shrimp consumption has risen steadily in recent years. Our appetite for shrimp is satisfied by a world shrimp fishery in whose trawl nets an estimated 155,000 sea turtles drown yearly. In the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, many of those drowned sea turtles are Kemp's ridleys. The National Academy of Sciences has recognized shrimp fishing as the largest human-caused mortality factor for sea turtles in US waters, greater than all other human-caused factors combined. Sea turtles, like most other marine wildlife, are also impacted by marine pollution (including plastic balloons and bags, which are mistaken for food), pollution from oil drilling and transport, destruction of coastal habitat for development, boat collisions, and incidental capture by various fishing activities. On their nesting beaches, the outdoor lights that come with shoreline highways and resort hotels can fatally confuse sea turtle hatchlings, whose first motion across the sand is towards the brightest light, formerly the moon glinting on the water (see activity). Scientists, conservationists, and governments have worked for many years to bring sea turtles back from the verge of extinction. Three major conservation activities have provided some relief: 1. Nesting beach protection. Since 1966, the Mexican government has protected the primary Kemp's ridley nesting beach at Rancho Nuevo in the state of Tamaulipas. Collection of turtle eggs is no longer allowed. Each year during the nesting season, Mexican and U.S. biologists work at the nesting beach counting turtles and moving eggs into 'corrals' where they can be protected from predation and poaching. 2. Headstarting. In an effort to create a second important nesting site for this species, the Mexican and U.S. governments worked together from 1978 to 1988. Each year they took approximately 2000 eggs from Rancho Nuevo in an experiment to see if the Kemp's ridley sea turtles could be 'imprinted' to the Padre Island, Texas beach. The eggs were hatched in Padre Island sand and the hatchlings allowed to run down the beach, allowing them to possibly 'imprint' a memory of the beach to which scientists hoped they might return to nest. Some were released then, others were caught to be reared in captivity for several more months. These 'headstarted' sea turtles were larger than new hatchlings, and, scientists hoped, had a better chance of surviving (less than 1 in 1,000- hatchlings are believed to survive to adulthood). After ten years this taxpayer funded project was discontinued, although Kemp's ridley sea turtles probably do not reach sexual maturity for 15-20 years. In the last few years, some of the nests that have been found at Padre Island have been traced to these 'imprinted,' headstarted sea turtles. A small but growing number of Kemp's ridleys are now nesting at Padre Island, Texas (thirteen nests in 1999). 3. Ocean Protection. Two different types of ocean protection activities have been used. The first is the creation of marine reserves around nesting beaches the other is the use of turtle excluder devices.. a. Marine Reserves: The Mexican government created a "no fishing" area in the waters off the main nesting beach at Rancho Nuevo to protect adult turtles from being incidentally captured in shrimp nets and other fishing gear. Conservationists are now trying to convince government officials to do the same thing around the new nesting beach at Padre Island, Texas. b. Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in shrimp nets: Sea turtles sometimes get swept into shrimp trawl nets and drowned. After many years of lobbying from conservationists, the U. S. and Mexican governments passed laws requiring all shrimp nets to be equipped with TEDs. TEDs or turtle excluder devices, also called trawler efficiency devices, are metal grids (like oval barbecue grills in appearance) sewn into shrimp trawl nets that allow turtles and other large marine animals to escape. Even with the mandatory requirement to use TEDs, many turtles continue to wash up drowned on Texas beaches during their nesting season. Some conservationists and scientists believe that some shrimp fishermen purposefully disable their TEDs, in the mistaken belief that TEDs reduce their shrimp catch. Some also believe that TEDs may not always be effective, especially if turtles are caught many times in a short period and do not have enough time to recover between captures.

Editor's note: This is the inaugural installment of High Concept, our new pot-advice column. The idea is this: Every week we look at the arrest reports and police logs and we notice that it seems like every third person is getting busted for having weed in their car or smoking up in public. Lawmakers in many states are pushing to legalize marijuana, in some cases to solve major budget problems, or at least to deter the menace of the Mexican drug trade. And pot is thought to be America's biggest cash crop, despite the ongoing war on drugs. And that's beating things like soy beans, corn and tobacco. So, obviously loads of people smoke the stuff. Maybe even you. We thought it made sense to start a column to address questions of all the smokers out there. We're hoping the advice will be entertaining, but also useful and informative. Feel free to shoot questions about pot culture, about marijuana and health, about the law, about science and medicine, about weed quality and trends. Send your questions to email@example.com.
Sometimes I like to smoke really cheap dope, because it seems like the paralyzing effects of paranoia are lessened this way. Is there any logic to that or am I just trying to justify being a tight ass?
You're just trying to justify being a tight ass. Cheap weed works OK in a pinch, but settling for something of lower quality inevitably leads to disappointment in the long run. Smoking oregano won't make you paranoid either, but what's the point? My suggestion here would be to give the good stuff another try, but to be a little bit more careful about how much you smoke. Better quality weed yields a smoother overall high, but if it paralyzes you with fear, then you're probably just inhaling too much. This is especially true if you're used to smoking schwag and taking 10 deep hits before feeling the effects. You don't need to do this with the high-grade stuff, unless you're embarrassed that your friends will all find out that you're a one-hit-wonder. It's nothing to be ashamed of though, because the less smoke that enters your lungs, the less the health risks that come along with lighting anything on fire and breathing it in, and the less cash you will ultimately spend.
Why does weed make even bad music sound so amazing?
Weed makes just about everything, in all of existence, more enjoyable. All people, places and things go up a couple of notches on the interesting-o-meter. Colors become brighter. Ben & Jerry's tastes tastier and is more fun to eat. "Family Guy" becomes that much more hilarious. And yes, even bad music sounds quite a bit better.
The dry college textbook reason for this is that THC binds with cannabinoid receptors in one's brain, tricking neurons into making one think that happy things are happening that are not in fact happening. The affected brain regions are those that regulate pleasure, time-perception, taste and music criticism, among other things.
But now let's consider the fact that so-called "bad music" isn't inherently bad to begin with. Throughout life, we acquire hang-ups. THC can help us see the beauty in things we didn't even know we could enjoy. And if something subjective, like a song, SEEMS better, doesn't that mean it IS better? It's a matter of perception. If we get pleasure out of a work of art, then that's all there is to it. There's no need for further examination. The art has fulfilled its purpose. The overall amount of happiness floating around in the ether is greater than it would have been otherwise.
My boyfriend doesn't smoke weed because he is a Republican. How can I make smoking more appealing to his Republican nature?
As a supporter of a free market and individual achievement, your boyfriend's sparking up would be encouragement for a self-starting business owner to thrive. And if he believes in small government, why shouldn't he support total legalization, giving each person the right to choose whether or not to smoke without the government getting involved? Using taxpayer money to enforce the ban of a naturally growing plant seems like a very anti-Republican idea at heart. Besides, then all the money freed up by ending the War on Drugs could be used for other despicable things, like bombing innocent people in other countries, forcing women to have babies they can't take care of and force-feeding biblical fairytales as fact in public schools. At the end of a long day, your boyfriend should be able to pack a bowl, sit back and bask in self-satisfaction, knowing that he's made the country a better place for those Americans who were already rich, white and Christian.
