Saturday, September 24, 2011, 1:30pm - 4:30pm.
Each year the BLM Campbell Creek Science Center hosts an Open House that's organized around a particular theme and provides opportunities for people to explore that theme.
On September 25, 2010, approximately 600 people joined us for an afternoon of activity designed to promote the DOI's "Let's Move Outside" campaign and encourage people to exercise more in the great outdoors. The event featured more than a dozen activity stations, including gold-panning, fly-tying, a rock-climbing wall, outdoor Tai Chi and yoga, birding, orienteering, an obstacle course, a bear-spray clinic, Moms/Pops/Tots (encouraging new parents and toddlers to explore the outdoors), biking, running, geocaching, s'mores by the fire, and kayaking.
There was also a "Jump!" activity at which people could have their pictures taken jumping into the outdoors. Participants were invited to email their photos far and wide with a "get outdoors" message. People turned in activity sheets for prizes from the President's Challenge (water bottles, pedometers, and stopwatches). They were also invited to make a pledge to exercise more in the outdoors.
Join us on September 24, 2011, and pick up your copy of the newest CCSC poster/calendar!

Reikan FoCal looks good - anyone used it?
Yeah I recommend it for any lens that has a wide aperture. If anything you can see how consistent the AF is. The software is automated and it does repeated tests and then averages it out. What's interesting is how the focus at these wide apertures varies - click +10, click again +6 and so on. So that means at any given time, even with a calibrated lens you're not gonna be hitting the target with 100% accuracy every time. All your doing is increasing that probability or getting it closer to accurate. Some lenses may only be slightly off in which case you might get away with leaving it at zero. But some will clearly be off when you see Reikan in action.
Forgot to mention it also depends a lot on your typical shooting distance. The further the subject is from the lens the more likely it is to be in sharp focus as the dof increases. So calibrate the lens at your working distance.

multiple installation on localhost
10 September 2008 at 3:11am
I'm new to SilverStripe and have to say... it's great! I have a site/project up and running perfectly on my localhost.
I now want to start a new site on my localhost. I'm not sure how i should be doing this? I tried to download SilverStripe again (renamed folder) and followed same instructions to install on wamp server however this messed up my first project.
If someone could clarify this for me.
Very much appreciated.

I don't know how WAMP works , but maybe the easiest solution would be to put the different Silverstripe installations in their own subdirectory in the webroot.

10 September 2008 at 4:35am
Thanks Fuzz10. My current project is installed in /wamp/www/project1
I tried to install fresh silverstripe files into /wamp/www/project2
but this seemed to mess up my first project for some reason. After installation, it used the default blue template but picked up the content of my first project. Then my first site lost some of it's formatting.
Is this the correct method... and i did something wrong?
Am i trying to install into the incorrect directory?
Thanks again.

Should work fine if you have them in separate folders eg projecta, projectb and you should also install them on different databases so if you make a change to the code in 1 it doesnt affect the other.
Re: multiple installation on localhost

Thanks Willr. How do i go about installing on different databases? When i initially installed Silverstripe it created it's own database automatically. Is this new database something that i can create an installation set-up of Silverstripe or do i configure it prior to installing?
Thanks again.

When you run the installer it will ask for a database name. You can just make this a different value every time. Thats if you run the installer for each project.. If instead you just copied the files from 1 folder and pasted again in the new folder then you will need to edit the database config file - in /mysite/_config.php you need to edit the "database" => "MySite", string so that each project has a separate database.

Brilliant. Thanks Willr.

Funding opportunities
In Vivo Control and Visualization of Stem Cell-Driven CNS Regeneration
Funding Type:
Tools and Technologies II
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$1 564 418
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
Stem-cell mediated therapy is a promising candidate for an extensive array of central nervous system (CNS) diseases including, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and spinal cord injuries. The ability of stem cells to potentially regenerate non-dividing cells such as neurons holds great promise for the development of new therapies to restore damages caused by such debilitating diseases. Recent development of induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC) further increased the societal viability of such therapeutic strategies by removing the ethical concerns inherent with embryonic stem cells (ESC). IPSCs are derived from cells that form the bodies of organisms as opposed to sperm or egg cells. They also offer the advantage of the possibility of being derived from the patients receiving the treatment, and therefore remove the risk of rejection, requiring no immunosuppressive drugs. However, despite such great potential and the urgency of the calls for cure, the actual number of approved stem cell therapies to date remains insignificant. Primary reasons for this under-utilized potential include the highly varying therapy efficacy, and the possibility of serious side effects resulting from interference with normal CNS functions. One of the main difficulty lies in the fact that the CNS, mainly consisting of the brain, is a highly complex structure which consists of approximately 100 billion neurons and 300 billion cells supporting the function of these neurons with various cell types and dense connections. Without a way to precisely monitor how these stem cell transplantations perturb the complex CNS system, proper placement of these regenerating elements (stem cells) in the brain and spinal cord becomes an extremely difficult task. In this proposal, we seek to provide a break-through in a search for the development of stem cell mediated therapies by developing a method to directly visualize the effects of the stem cell transplantation. This will be achieved by combining genetic techniques that will introduce modulatory capability to neural cells based on its cell type. We will strategically introduce capabilities for the underlying neural circuit as well as transplanted stem cells to be modulated by light. For stem cells, we expect our proposed technique to allow modulatory capability from only those developing into specific cell types. This cell-specific modulation capability will then combined with a novel imaging technique called passband b-SSFP fMRI, permitting non-invasive and high-resolution visualization of the regeneration processes. This project, upon its success, will provide direct functional assessment capabilities for the regenerated nerve tissue. This in turn will provide key guidance for developing novel stem cell therapies for CNS diseases.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Stem cell mediated therapy is a highly promising technology that gives us hope for a cure of many debilitating central nervous system (CNS) diseases that do not have an alternative for cure. With recent outstanding developments in stem cell biology, we are accelerating towards the search for a viable therapy. However, one of the main road blocks in developing a full blown therapy utilizing these advances in stem cell biology is the lack of tools to quantitatively monitor the direct effects of the stem cell transplantation. We seek to be instrumental in this search for a cure by introducing a completely novel way of directly assessing the functionality of stem cell driven neural circuitry in vivo. This project, upon its success, will allow accelerated development of novel stem cell therapies for a wide range of brain and spinal cord diseases that include Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and spinal cord injuries. This technology will function as a bridge between the many outstanding efforts in stem cell biology and the development of stem cell mediated therapy, accelerating the search for a cure. Such accelerated development will not only provide help for many patients in urgent need for care in California, it will also greatly help the California economy by placing the state at the leading edge of the therapeutic method development. This technology will lead to accelerated search for new reagents, protocols, and technologies associated with cell therapy, which will stimulate the economy through patents, royalties, licensing fees, formation of new businesses, and adaptation of the technology by existing biotech companies, increasing California tax revenue and creating new jobs for Californians. The high impact of the proposed research will provide the much needed care for the Californians with debilitating diseases while holding a great promise for placing California at the leading edge of stem cell therapy and care.
Review Summary:
The goal of this proposal is to develop a tool to both modulate and monitor activity of transplanted pluripotent stem cell-derived neuronal populations and their effect upon host neuronal circuitry. It is hoped that this will enable the quantitative assessment of functional changes in the brain following cell transplantation. First, the applicants plan to genetically modify induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from a patient with Parkinson's disease (PD) and a normal sibling control with an inducible, light activated molecular switch. This tool enables researchers to use light to modulate the activity of specific neuronal cell types derived from these cells. The cells will be transplanted into an in vivo model of PD with and without light-mediated activation, and the effect on neuronal circuitry will be monitored using a novel, high spatial resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging technique (fMRI). Behavioral measures of PD will also be performed, and the applicants will correlate the behavioral data to the neuronal circuitry activation data with the ultimate goal of predicting therapeutic outcomes. Overall, the panel appreciated the sophisticated genetic engineering aspects of the project and described the combination of the molecular switch and fMRI technologies as innovative, creative and synergistic. However, they also agreed this tool does not address a current translational bottleneck. They felt that the proposed technology, if successfully developed, could enable the identification of relevant transplant related events in animal models and ultimately have a beneficial impact on the field. Reviewers were uncertain of the rationale for using both PD and normal cells in these proof of concept studies, as the applicant did not clarify whether the phenotype of PD cells is expected to differ from those of normal controls when transplanted into the PD model. Reviewers appreciated the convincing preliminary data supporting the applicants' ability to perform fMRI in vivo, utilize the molecular switch in brain and generate iPSC. They expressed strong concern, however, that no preliminary data were provided to support the challenging cell biology and transplantation related elements of the project. Data substantiating the applicants' ability to achieve dopaminergic neuron differentiation, transplant cells and perform behavioral testing in the animal model were all lacking, thus dampening reviewers' confidence the applicants could successfully complete the proposed studies. Beyond the genetic engineering aspects, reviewers found the experimental plan to be critically lacking in detail; they stressed the stem cell and transplantation portions of the project were particularly weak. Reviewers highlighted a lack of information regarding the stage at which dopaminergic neurons would be transplanted, or whether applicants would indeed differentiate the cells prior to transplantation. Specific Aim 4, correlating therapeutic outcomes in the PD model with changes in neuronal circuits, was noted as especially under developed and ill justified. The applicant fails to discuss expected outcomes, potential pitfalls and present alternative plans. For example, reviewers questioned how the applicants define a therapeutic outcome in the PD model and how they would interpret a subtle phenotype. One discussant asked how the applicants would assess effects of transplanted cells should they migrate away from the injection site and integrate in areas beyond the region interrogated by fMRI. Taken together, these weaknesses further eroded reviewers' enthusiasm for the proposal. The principal investigator (PI) is well trained and funded, and reviewers noted this promising individual has received recognition for innovative contributions to the imaging field. However, they raised serious issues regarding the rest of the team. The paucity of expertise in stem cells, dopaminergic differentiation, neural transplantation and the PD model decrease the likelihood that the applicants could achieve the goals of the project. Reviewers also noted the bulk of this technically demanding work would be performed by a small staff of junior scientists, and expressed concern regarding the logistics around sharing a student between the PI and co-investigator at different institutions. Finally, the application does not include letters of collaboration from the stem cell expert and the co-investigator, both of whom are listed at very low levels of effort at 1% and 2%, respectively. In summary, this application describes the use of a method to control the activity of transplanted neurons and detect the effects using high-resolution fMRI methods in a model of PD. While reviewers appreciated the innovative method and the applicant's expertise in imaging, they did not feel the application would resolve a translational bottleneck. Further, reviewers concluded the applicants would not be able to successfully complete the goals of the project owing to critical stem cell and transplantation expertise deficiencies of the team as well as flaws and omissions in the experimental design. Thus, the application was not recommended for funding.
Programmatic review:
- This application scored below the initial scientific merit funding line, no programmatic reason to fund the application was suggested, and the GWG voted to place the application in Tier 3, Not Recommended for Funding.

Curie Metropolitan High School will not get their city championship back, but the team will be able to compete in the state tournament.
The Illinois High School Association made the decision Monday. Nine players are eligible, but three are not.
Chicago Public School student athletes are asked to maintain a 2.0 GPA, whereas the IHSA requires players to pass 5 courses and achieve a minimum of 2.5 credits prior to the tournament.
Last week the team was stripped of its city championship and its winning season after it was discovered that seven players were academically ineligible.
Curie's campus was still buzzing about it, Monday.
"It's fair because they didn't pay attention to their grades. They can't get mad, it's kind of their fault," said senior, Joseph Rodriguez.
"It was kind of unfair for everybody because the team has worked hard," sophomore, Yororia Pranch added.
The decision to take away their title and still make state is an unprecedented one, said Chicago Sun Times Prep Sports Editor, Michael O'Brien.
"Well, it's historic to have an 0 and 25 team as the number one seed for sure and they lost the city title which they're not going to get back. But, they do have a chance in the state now and their best player, Cliff Alexander is reportedly going to play," O'Brien added.
The IHSA said it is not able to release the names of the nine who will play.
The situation has many debating who should be blamed.
"CPS just has to follow their own rules. The coaches are supposed to exchange eligibility sheets before the game, which lists all of the players that are eligible. Well, that is something they have not been doing, " O'Brien said.
The nine players that are able to play are set to tomorrow night at King High School.
The IHSA says the remaining three will be allowed to travel with the team, but cannot dress in uniform or sit on the bench.

Beijing's first gay marriage between two men was held in Beijing on Saturday amid a storm of controversy over same sex unions, the Beijing Times reported. Da Wen and Xiao Qiang (not their real names) held a 'comparatively open' wedding ceremony with about fifty friends in attendance after meeting three years ago in an internet gay community.
'We just want to live a stable life as normal couples do, no matter if the wedding is held or not,' said Xiao Qiang. 'The society is more open than before, which makes us brave enough to show the public' Da Wen added.
The couple displayed marriage certificates similar to ones issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but they are not believed to be real as gay marriage is not legally recognised in China. It is thought to be the first wedding held between two men in Beijing. Gay women previously held a ceremony in South China's Guangdong province.
The wedding was held with the presence of an emcee, Xiao Dong, who works at the Beijing Rainbow Volunteer Station on HIV/Aids prevention. 'Their marriage is a remarkable move in the gay community because a settled-down relationship helps reduce the chances of Aids infection,' said Xiao.
Statistics from a 2010 Health Report conducted by the Beijing Health Bureau show among the 1,233 new HIV/Aids cases last year in Beijing, the ratio of male to female was 7.62: 1, with 60 per cent of new infections contracted by man-to-man sexual relations. 'They set a model among gay couples, to encourage more gays to have a stable relationship, which not only benefit themselves but also the whole society.' Xiao added. -- CHINA DAILY/ANN

Parking hike is a crippling blow to Halesowen traders
8:00am Thursday 26th June 2014 in News
A SECOND car parking increase in 13 months will be a crippling blow to Halesowen traders, according to the town's outraged chamber of trade chairman.
Businessman Wayne Edwards condemned the 17 per cent hike as a "kick in the teeth" to hard-pressed retailers.
He accused Dudley Council of "bleeding the town dry" and vowed to step up the campaign for free short stay on-street parking.
The increase, which will come into effect on Sunday, (June 29) follows an even bigger 25 per cent rise in May 2013.
The chamber has been campaigning for free spaces - to restore some parity with other towns in the borough – but the call has been repeatedly rejected by council bosses.
Mr Edwards said: "To increase parking charges again is outrageous and will hit retailers badly. I'm convinced parking charges have a massive impact on trade."
He vowed to launch an immediate petition to pressurise the council to allow more free parking to attract shoppers and other visitors to Halesowen.
The Less4Ink boss revealed his turnover was down 12 per cent in the first half of this year and said a photograph he took of the High Street on Tuesday showed just half a dozen shoppers.
Mr Edwards said: "Local authorities use car parking as a source of revenue, but it's not working in Halesowen, they are bleeding the town dry.
"Car parking should be seen as a vital service not a quick revenue grab at the expense of traders."
He said Merry Hill owners had fought off parking charges for many years resulting in large corporations, many not even based in the UK, benefitting from the resulting high footfall, while small town centres and retailers suffered.
Dudley's cabinet member for transportation, councillor Khurshid Ahmed, said the borough remained "one of the cheapest places to park in the Black Country".
Motorists staying up to an hour on council car parks will have to cough up 70p instead of 60p; for up to two hours the cost will rise from £1.20 to £1.40; for up to three hours it will go from £1.80 to £2.10 and for over three hours the cost will be jacked up from £3 to £3.50.
Evening charges will rise from £1 to £1.10 across the board.

The Department of Revenue, in consultation with the Department of Management, shall initiate and coordinate the establishment of a property tax implementation committee and provide staffing assistance to the committee. The property tax implementation committee shall include four members of the General Assembly, one each appointed by the majority leader of the Senate, the speaker of the House of Representatives, the minority leader of the Senate, and the minority leader of the House of Representatives. The committee shall also include members appointed by the Department of Revenue representing the Department of Revenue, the Department of Management, counties, cities, school districts, local assessors, commercial property taxpayers, industrial property taxpayers, residential property taxpayers, and agricultural property taxpayers, and other appropriate stakeholders.
The department may consider participation on the committee of former state officials with expertise in budget and tax policy. The chairpersons of the committee shall be those members of the General Assembly appointed by the majority leader of the senate and the speaker of the House of Representatives.
The committee shall study and make recommendations relating to the land tax, square footage tax, the baseline assessment for the square footage tax, and other related provisions. The committee shall also study and make recommendations on issues relating to implementation of a land tax and square footage tax, including, but not limited to, whether or not maximum square footage rates and land tax rates should be imposed and, if such rates are recommended, the imposition of rates that have a revenue neutral impact on classes of property, the property tax financing portion of the school funding formula, treatment of current property tax credits and exemptions under a land tax and square footage tax and continued state reimbursement of any credits or exemptions, implementation of urban revitalization and urban renewal programs under the land tax and square footage tax, implementation of a payment in lieu of taxes program for local government services, and maintenance of equity among classes of taxpayers and among taxpayers within the same class.
The property tax implementation committee shall also study the role of property taxes in funding local government services and the types of services currently funded by property taxes.
The property tax implementation committee shall direct three counties and cities within those counties to submit data as prescribed by the committee. The Department of Revenue, in consultation with the Department of Management, shall select the three counties and the cities within those counties that will be required to provide data to the committee. The committee shall devise a system for testing the data, including the necessary computer hardware and software to allow the selected counties and cities to prepare projected budgets, to determine the rates for the land tax and the square footage tax for those projected budgets, and to provide a sampling of the effect on the various classes of property in those jurisdictions. The committee shall use the data and the results of the projections to resolve, and make recommendations relating to, the issues described in subsection 2, and related issues, in a revenue neutral manner that will not result in a shift of property tax burden between classes of property.
The committee shall submit to the general assembly by October 31, 2003, October 31, 2004, and October 31, 2005, a report for each of those years resolving the issues in subsection 2 and other related issues for implementation of this Act. The reports shall include detailed estimates of the cost to the counties and cities of providing the data and an estimate of the cost of statewide implementation of this Act.

"4.75 Stars"
I???m finding it hard to believe I am the only one that figured out how this book was going to end. It ended just the way I wanted it to! The historical fiction was interesting and I will seek out more of Susanna Kearsley???s work. The narration was excellent. The two plots were well intertwined and the end also leaves the possibilities of another story; if it comes that would be nice, but if it doesn???t that would be ok too. The romance was very well done and not graphic. There were some twists but all in all the bad guys were the bad guys, and the good guys, the good guys. I don???t understand the seemingly explosive genre of Scottish Highland stories but now I do want to visit some day. Is it a new tourist attracting gimmick?
I would have liked more development of Carrie and Graham???s relationship since it seems to have just begun and developed with little reason. Ok ??? stunning good looks and a non-abrasive personality would get things started for me too, but I didn???t catch the sudden reason for the love match??? Possibly Ms. Kearsley was more concentrated on the history part. I???ll have to listen again.
"Different and Entertaining"
Dr. Siri Paiboun is an entertaining character. I hope I can be half as openly and politely cynical as he is at 72. He has a great cast of characters that are parallel to the mysteries if not in front. I have no idea what life was like in Laos in the '70s but I'm taking the accounts as somewhat accurate.
This is an entertaining tale, with good mysteries. I will be listening to other books from this collection.
The only thing I can complain about is the names of the characters. There were quite a few with unfamiliar names, but good thing there is rewind.
I purchased and listened to this years ago, and I have gone back to it several times. I scored it, but never wrote a review.
It is just one of those kinds of listens. Caroline Lee is just wonderful but even a lesser narrator could not ruin this plot. It is complex but not complicated. Emotions from this book is very memorable. I love most of Kate Morton's books, but this one and "The Secret Keeper" are my favorites. Her others and memorable and at least 4 stars each.
I don't know if this review is of any help to anyone except to say that you will not be disappointed. A worthy listen over and over again. It is nice to revisit old, well loved titles.
"Not Her Royal Spyness"
It's okay. It definitely isn't Her Royal Spyness series. At least I don't think so; I'm not going to listen to any more.
"A Lot of Characters"
This installment has A LOT of characters, at times I had a hard time keeping up. The mystery was bizarre and I still am having a hard time figuring out what happened, or more likely why. The mystery aside, I enjoyed getting to know the main characters better, and the side stories were fun - birthday dinner at his sister's house was very funny, his bread and butter cases were good too. The author's style (I know who it is...) is very descriptive without being to wordy.
I'm not sure I like the narrator. I liked him more in Cuckoo than in this book. Don't hate him either.
I will read the next book if there is one. Worth listening to again.
""Simply to Endure is to Triumph""
This is a sad but triumphant story about a sad state of affairs all over the world. Little children from desperately poor families selling their daughters and sons into slavery. Maybe they were deceived, maybe they knew full well what was going to happen to their offspring. The end was hopeful but I would have liked a few paragraphs on what happened.
The author was kindly vague about the sex, but sex is the purpose of this practice so it had to be there.
Credit worthy, though the price was perfect.
"Minority POV"
I wanted very much to like/love this book. I didn't, I may return it for my credit though I cannot get my time back. I kept turning it off but after all the great reviews I thought it might ends up better - what was I missing? switching it back on. I never gave up but should have.
It has a great story idea. The opening, particularly once they got to the museum, is very well done. Most of the rest of the book I found incredible repetitive and overwritten. The author uses seven descriptive terms rather than choosing the best. The protagonist often walks around dazed, confused, blasted out of his mind, stoned out of his mind, and did I mention dazed and confused? It is hard to believe that someone this drug- and alcohol-addicted could make it to the age of 27 or 30 able to function in his job and without the people around him noticing. I wanted to send him to rehab.
There is some good in the book, certainly. Boris is a great character and David Pittu does such a good job with him.
I feel the book is at least half again as long as it should have been. How many detailed and exhaustive scenes of teenage boys getting blasted, stoned and drunk do we need to convey this part of the narrator's life? It just goes on and on. I wondered if I needed rehab after listening to this.
"Cannot Stop Listening Though Not Her Best"
Some reviewers referred to the author rehashing old story lines, but I found it somewhat helpful since the series started - how many years ago? The 'soft porn' that is also frequently referred to was pretty annoying - filler I agree. I have not heard any of the Lord John books outside of this series so it was nice to hear and learn more about him and his side of the family. I liked getting to know William better - but - as another reviewer put it - he really needs to grow up - then he is just gone. The end was exciting though a good deal of that was filler too - obviously not the last book in the series. Three of the story lines just ended so I found that very frustrating.
Of course I will listen to the next book but I sure hope Diana ties it in a bow and calls it done. I can always go back and revisit my old friends.
"Not what I expected"
This was more of a bio of Michael Hess than about his birth mother and her search for him. I felt deceived.
"First 3 Chapters - and no more"
First - the narrator is horrible. Second, I don't mind some hot consensual romance and but abuse is over the top. I won't be downloading the rest of this book, nor any of the others.
"I liked it - but..."
I have to first say that Jenna Lamia and Adepero Oduye did a beautiful job narrating this novel. The story was very interesting and has inspired me to read more about Sarah Grimke and her sister. Sue Monk Kid's explanation at the end of the novel was very enlightening and I enjoyed that almost as much as the novel itself.
Having said all of that, the fictional slave characters Handful and her mother were the most interesting characters in the book; I found myself anxious to get back to their story. Sarah Grimke's part of the story somewhat faded - though I'm not sure why. I think Ms. Kidd was trying to stay true to the real story without moving to many facts around. I'm not a literary scholar so analyzing what happed with the pure fiction and the fictionalized biography would be futile.
I liked this but didn't love it. The Grimke family has a few interesting historical characters but honestly - the fictional parts are where the author shines. It is worth the credit and I will listen to it again; but I am more inspired to learn more about Sarah.

Women often leave their purses unattended. It's nearly impossible to have your hands on it at all times – especially at group events, like birthday parties.
So when a 9-year-old boy's aunt asked him to grab a purse while at Chuck E. Cheese's, he didn't think anything of it, deputies said. He just assumed it was hers.
But deputies say his aunt used him to steal someone else's purse.
It was all caught on surveillance video at the location on Brandon Boulevard on June 25.
Deputies say 26-year-old Jasmine Johnson and 24-year-old Chantel Jenkins were at a birthday party for their nephew. They say the women told the little boy to get a purse that was sitting on a counter, so he did.
That purse, however, did not belong to either of them. The boy is not in trouble.
Deputies are looking for Johnson and Jenkins.

"Auditory quality not acceptable"
This is a book I thought I knew, having been as a child exposed to the story more than once. Rereading it as an adult, expecting only to indulge my nostalgia, I was surprised by the richness of the description, the complexity of the characters, and interest of a good story well told. The book is well narrated -- good pace, good voice characterization for each of the characters. Unfortunately, the quality of the recording is very poor. For this reason alone I would never recommend it. I hope Audible reexamines and finds a way to salvage this otherwise excellent recording of a fine classic.
"Overly dramatic reading"
I love this story.
The reader has ruined this classic tale by over dramatizing all the characters. It's to the point of distraction. My 9 year old, who loves books on tape, doesnt want to listen to Heidi because of the reading treatment.

"I Waited Too Long to Read This"
This is one of the few times where I liked the movie better than the book. Not that the book was bad. I just didn't catch the vision of it. Perhaps I should have read it as a young person. I would probably have appreciated it more than I do now. I did get to see the movie with the irrepressible Shirley Temple multiple times as a child (we didn't have the capability of seeing a movie any time we wanted back then - had to wait until it came on TV, perhaps once every other year). I had a hard time believing in the deep relationship between Heidi and the Grandfather in the book, whereas the movie made it easy to see through him and into his heart. Just my observations. But I definitely think it is worth reading, especially if you are a youngster.
As this book has been recorded by multiple narrators, i was careful to choose the one I thought was best. I thoroughly enjoyed Marnie MacAdam's narration. It was natural and engaging. Some of the others I listened to had annoying pronunciations that I could never have listened to over a long period of time. I'm glad I chose her.

This season was just another in the series of videos illustrating the difficult task of CBP in protection the US border from drugs and illegals. My only complaint about this video is a defect in disc one which has failed to be corrected up to now. I generously recieved one replacement from NG but defect still existed. The defect caused one scene to end abruptly prior to completion. I was only able to watch to complete scene by manipulation with my computer. This is unfortunate because the climax the seizure of cash is missing. Maybe this report will cause NG to take steps to correct the defect.

Went on the Jewel of the Seas from Aug 3-10, 2013. The cabin was ok...great cabin attendant, otherwise, it would be nice to have some slightly upgraded amenities...maybe more than one tiny bar of soap for a week.
The biggest issue was the food...it was horrible ! I was served fish that was raw in the middle...asked for meat to be done "medium" and it was served well done. There was way too much salt and grease in everything....turkey sausages tasted like dog food...breakfast at the main dining room was uneatable. I complained...but that did not seem to do a whole lot. I was on a RCI cruise a number of years ago, and never remember the food being that bad !
If you have kids which were with me...the water slide is good, but has very limited hours.
The photographers were ridiculously bad..all of the pictures were awful.
Tried to book one of the "fancy" restaurants....it took an hour on the phone to book a table for 10 people...very frustrating and they claimed limited availability. Once on the cruise...the fancy dining rooms were empty most of the time and we called out of curiosity and there was availability at all times....so why the issue of having to be on the phone for so long before the cruise ???
Had a great time with family...won't go near another Royal Caribbean cruise forever !

This was pretty good but not a favorite as far as "Mexican" lasagnas go. My family likes the other one I make better.
My mom made this for us and it was delicious, good as leftovers the next day also. She used red beans instead of black beans and she also served it with sour cream. I loved the refried beans in there. This is definitely a keeper!
I am not a bean lover but this was really really good. I went a little lighter on the refried beans and it was awesome! And I used salsa instead of diced tomatoes. Love it!
LOVED this one. Except I left out the refried beans and mexican style tomatoes. Instead I used Fire Roasted Tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and added in Salsa. Top with sour cream. This one is to die for. I plan to make this again next week!
This was easy to make and it came out really good!!! My husband ate 1/2 the taco lasagna in 1 sitting. Adding a little sour cream to each serving is delicious!

The fun part sounds good, as long as they keep the noise down and disband by 8:30PM.

@mike B. - game doesn't start until 7 pm, so not likely going to be over with by 8:30, which by the way for a Friday night is early. And you live in the birdland neighborhood...which is on the other side of the freeway from Foothill High School, so hard to believe this could possibly disrupt your evening.

Hi: 21° Lo:9°
By Ian Dipple Thursday 13 February 2014 Updated: 14/02 09:59
THE ASSISTANT chief executive of Worcestershire County Council is set to take over control of the authority, despite criticism the move is a waste of money.
Clare Marchant has spent four years at County Hall as deputy to outgoing boss Trish Haines who will take early retirement from the top job in April, with a £95,000 pay out which allows her to leave on a full pension
There will be an immediate saving to the council as Ms Marchant will take up the role on a salary of £150,000 instead of the £176,678 a year paid to Mrs Haines who has spent six years with the authority.
But the decision has been heavily criticised by Labour councillors who say the appointment is unjustified when the council is looking to save more than £100million over the next three years and hundreds of workers face losing their jobs.
Coun Peter McDonald, leader of the Labour group on the county council, said they would abolish the post if they won control of the authority in 2017.
"The role of chief executive is not a legal requirement and the county council can easily function without one saving thousands of pounds a year that could be spent on providing much need services," he said.
"They have got their priorities wrong, looking after the young, elderly, and vulnerable and those relying on public transport should come before paying out such grotesque salaries, at a time when families are having to make choices between food on the table or heating their homes."
During a debate at County Hall yesterday (Thursday) where the appointment was approved Coun Graham Vickery, who represents Redditch North, said as the authority was smaller there was a need to review whether or not the chief executive's salary should be reviewed.
But Coun John Campion, responsible for transformation and commissioning, said by opposing the appointment Labour were sending the message the chief executive would not have their support.
"We employ hundreds of people and spend millions of pounds of public money and we need top people to do the job and that means a top salary," he said.
Council leader Adrian Hardman said Ms Marchant would bring a wealth of knowledge to the role.
"We have reduced the salary by ten per cent, we have taken a considerable amount of advice on this but it is a competitive business to get a top chief executive and in Ms Marchant we have undoubtedly got the value councillor Vickery so eloquently described and I have every confidence in this appointment."

David Hammer / Eyewitness News
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter: @davidhammerWWL
NEW ORLEANS -- Plaintiff's attorneys say they are shocked at BP's move last Friday to sue the man who was appointed by the court to pay oil spill damage claims under a detailed settlement BP agreed to last year.
"In all my 30-plus years of doing mass torts and complex litigation I've never seen a party sue a claims administrator for breach of a contract, a contract the parties negotiated, agreed upon and wrote in clear and plain language," said Dawn Barrios, an attorney representing more than 100 oil spill claimants.
Barrios and others call it "buyer's remorse" and "sour grapes" after BP contended that claims administrator Patrick Juneau was misinterpreting the clear language of BP's settlement with a class of private claimants.
The 1,000-page agreement was meticulously negotiated, right down to a written debate over whether the phrase "comparable months" means "the same months."
During the negotiations, a BP lawyer said that is what that phrase meant. Now that the settlement is costing BP a lot more than it initially expected – and reported to its shareholders – the same lawyer is arguing it should mean something else.
At first, BP set aside $7.8 billion for the economic damages settlement, which it signed last spring. It fought for the agreement in front of U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, arguing it was the most fair settlement possible, then cheered when Barbier named Juneau as the administrator and gave final approval to the agreement.
But since then they have upped their estimate of the settlement bill to $8.5 billion, and after Barbier upheld Juneau's interpretation of how to pay business claims, BP is saying it can't reliably predict how much higher their costs will rise.
Meanwhile, other costs are outpacing what BP has reported as its liability to shareholders. The federal and state governments are pursuing a gross negligence claim against BP for the April 20, 2010, explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and the subsequent 87-day oil spill. BP only set aside $3.5 billion to pay civil fines, assuming they would only have to pay for simple negligence. A gross negligence finding by Barbier could raise that bill to around $18 billion.
Suddenly, the $40 billion BP set aside to pay its spill costs is looking like it could really be closer to $60 billion.
BP has already tried twice before to argue that it's Juneau, not them, who is now trying to reinterpret its clear agreement with the plaintiffs. And both times, Barbier has sided with Juneau.
But before BP appeals those rulings to the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, it has filed for an injunction against Juneau and sued him in a whole separate action in federal court. In those filings, BP lists dozens of claims, each in the millions of dollars, saying that Juneau has paid them all – and others, too – incorrectly.
In fact, BP argues that Juneau is paying big bucks to companies that made more after the oil spill than they did before it – all because he's misinterpreting the settlement terms.
Indeed, lawyers and accountants have websites touting the settlement as a way to get paid by BP, without having to prove that the losses were caused by the spill – and even even if the claimant made more after the spill.
(For examples, click here and here)
As the Perry Draper law firm in Clearwater, Fla., states on its website, "This is what BP agreed to."
It appears that everyone agrees that BP agreed to a formula for calculating payments based on what a business made in three or more consecutive months between May and December 2010, as compared to profits earned during "comparable months" from a year or years before the spill.
But BP first started having a problem late last year with how Juneau compared pre-spill and post-spill profits for so-called "variable profit" businesses, such as construction companies, farmers and professional service firms. BP argued that it was unfair to only compare the same months when those variable profit businesses earn comparable revenues and incur comparable expenses at different times from year to year.
As BP lawyer Rick Godfrey wrote in his filing on Friday: "The Claims Administrator … has changed the requirement that the lost profits analysis use 'comparable' pre- and post-spill periods to instead use only the 'same' periods. The effect of this error is most pronounced in, but by no means limited to, the farming industry. By using the same periods, the Administrator is contrasting months in pre-spill years in which a claimant earned the majority of its revenue to months after the spill when it earned no revenue because, for example, the farmer moved the harvest month for business or weather reasons."
But this is the same lawyer who wrote this in February 2012, while arguing with plaintiffs lawyers that the settlement should not compare all eight months after the spill with only three months from the years before the spill:
"The word 'comparable' and phrase "comparable months of" is used throughout the document in the context of comparing the months selected by the Claimant in 2010 to compare against the same months in the Benchmark Period."
Barbier used that email to rule against BP on March 5. Juneau, meanwhile, stands by his reading of the pact.
"We have been consistent and transparent with the claims process," he wrote in a statement to WWL-TV. "Regarding the Emergency Motion for a Preliminary Injunction filed Friday, all Business Economic Loss Claims have been processed consistent with the federal court order dated March 5, 2013. We will continue to process all claims until further instructed otherwise by the court."

The latest phase completed at the UW School of Medicine adds a 183,000 sq ft research facility with laboratories and offices that will house more than 400 employees. The new building is designed to be both striking and to compliment the previous two phases with a similar facade facing a shared courtyard. "We designed Phases one, two, and three to enhance the vision of the University of Washington's School of Medicine, by creating spaces that encourage productivity, collaboration and inspiration," said Anthony Gianopoulos, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, Managing Principal of Perkins+Will. "We wanted to strengthen the connectivity of UW students with the scientific community in South Lake Union and the greater Seattle area."
On the outside, Phase 3.1 is striking with it's undulating glass curtain wall and orange accents. The high performance facade features fritted glass to manage solar gain while allowing for daylighting. Rainwater is collected from the roof and hardscape and stored in a cistern to be used to irrigate plants in the plaza. Energy efficiency strategies inside the building include high-efficiency boilers, a heat recovery chiller, exhaust air energy recovery and improved lighting controls.
The state-of-the-art medical facility was designed to attract skilled professionals and retain them in the area. Research in the facility is dedicated to the study of Immunology, Rheumatology, Kidney Research, Emerging and Reemerging Infectious Diseases, and Vision Sciences. Perkins+Will is also working on phases 3.2 and 3.3 of the campus, which will complete the school's facility with 900,000 sq ft of new buildings.

Dougherty High
School celebrated a milestone Saturday.
The community
came out to celebrate Dougherty High Schools' 50th anniversary. The school
opened in 1963. Former alumni from years past came out for a cook-out on the
schools grounds. Organizers say former Dougherty students set an example for
the younger generation.
"There are some
people who made it through this same neighborhood. They made it through the
same struggles and conditions they made it through and their successful in
their lives. The kids can see that, so they'll take on some of the traits that these
older men and women done," said Coach Corey Joiner.
A pep rally in
the school's gym was held later in the afternoon.
