— Kokomo-Center Schools announced Monday it would use a $750,000 grant to open five after-school community centers focused on math and science education.
The district received a highly competitive 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant.
The federally-funded grant program supports schools that want to provide places for their students, especially impoverished ones, to go after school to receive academic enrichment, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
"This grant truly is for the kids," said Dave Barnes, director of communications for the district.
District officials envision places where elementary school students and their parents can go after school to get extra help with homework and participate in hands-on activities related to math and science.
"This is not a day camp; it's not baby sitting," said Dawn McGrath, director of programs for the district. "This is an academic experience."
A family advocate will be on hand to offer classes for parents. A special education teacher will be available to help students with disabilities. And a robotics coach will involve groups of elementary school students in the Lego League robotics competitions, something that's not available to them now, officials said.
"This is huge," McGrath said. "There's only so much the schools can do during the day."
Initially, the district intends to serve at least 100 elementary school students from across the city on a regular basis, McGrath said. If the effort is successful, the district will expand the program.
Officials said they have no doubt the program will be successful, especially when 15 local organizations and businesses are already on board to help.
The city of Kokomo has agreed to help with public transportation.
Indiana University Kokomo will host parent workshops and field trips. Purdue University College of Technology Kokomo has offered up college students to serve as mentors and staff members to help with engineering activities.
The Kokomo Chapter of the Indiana Black Expo will support the center in Kokomo's northwest neighborhood and help write grants to secure other funding sources.
Kokomo Urban Outreach and the Neighborhood Community Churches United volunteered to promote and market the after-school centers in the neighborhoods and churches they serve.
AndyMark Inc. is offering to provide hardware for students to build robotics and staff for robotics education programs and events.
The Kokomo Housing Authority will offer its Homework Club teacher for about 10 hours a week and use of its Garden Square Community Room and computer lab.
The list goes on and on.
"It was amazing all the services they were willing to provide in-kind," said Assistant Superintendent Pennye Siefert. "That makes it a community program."
Their willingness to step up and help out may have been the reason the district received the grant.
McGrath said the support of all of these community organizations and businesses shows that the program is sustainable and more likely to succeed.
"This is about community investments," she said. "They were essential. Is there a stronger word than that?"
Siefert said the partners were probably so eager to jump on board because the community centers fulfill some of the goals they've had, too.
But before, these organizations didn't have the funding or the resources to take on such an endeavor.
Deb Cook, executive director for the Kokomo Housing Authority, said that's true.
She's always looking for ways to help her residents in Dunbar Court and Garden Square apartments get extra education and training to help them become self-sufficient.
"This will bring in extra resources," she said.
They have two teachers for their Homework Club. But the services they can provide with two people is limited.
"This is huge for us, for our children," she said. "This will really enhance what they're learning in science and math."

SILVER CITY — The defense attorney for Thomas Manning, the Albuquerque teen who allegedly shot and killed his father on a hunting trip to the Gila National Forest nearly three years ago, has asked to postpone the July trial because a witness critical to the defense will not be available.
Stacy Ward, who first took the case when she was with the Capital Crimes Unit in Albuquerque but is now handling the case as a private attorney since leaving that office, told the Sun-News Monday that she is waiving the time limits for a speedy trial between now and the next setting to allow time for her witness to be available to testify.
"It's a critical witness to the defense, who is a consultant witness at this point, and who is not available until the beginning of next year," she said.
District Court Judge J.C. Robinson vacated the trial set for July and is reviewing the brief Ward submitted as to the consulting expert's unavailability and will make a ruling on that at a later time.
"We are in a situation that any conviction obtained at this point could be thrown out," Ward said, had she been forced to go to trial in July.
Manning, who last appeared in court at his preliminary hearing in November, is now 18 years old, and has been moved from a facility for teens to the Grant County Detention Center. He appeared in court in an orange jail suit, with a close cropped hair cut and black framed glasses.
On Nov. 14, 2010, the Albuquerque teenager was on a hunting trip with his father Jeffrey to McKnight Canyon in the Mimbres area of the Gila National Forest when he allegedly shot his father in the back of the head with a high-powered hunting rifle. Manning then left his father's body and hiked out of the forest and back to his father's Toyota 4Runner and drove down the road to Bryan's Pit Barbecue on Highway 35, where he asked to use the phone and call his mother, and told the owners and several customers what happened. It later took Grant County sheriff's deputies, Search and Rescue volunteers, Border Patrol, New Mexico State Police, and the U.S. Forest Service two days to find Jeffrey Manning's body. He was found by a Border Patrol K9 unit lying near a tree in McKnight Canyon.
The case has dragged on for nearly three years for several reasons. First Ward asked for more time to review the 77 pages of reports she received from the Grant County Sheriff's Office, then a software glitch prevented her from opening the sheriff's department's video files, and then Ward raised the issue of Thomas Manning's competency, which delayed the case further. But in March 2012, he was determined to be competent to stand trial and at his November preliminary hearing his case was bound over to District Court to stand trial on the charge of an open count of murder.
Manning is being tried as a serious youthful offender and Chief Deputy District Attorney George Zsoka said previously that he planned to seek a first degree murder conviction against Manning.
If convicted of first-degree murder, Manning will be sentenced as an adult, with the maximum he could receive being 30 years. A jury could also find him guilty of the lesser charge of second-degree murder, which carries a sentence of 15 years, or manslaughter, which carries a sentence of six years. Or he could be found not guilty. A new trial date has not been set.

VP8 Codec: FSF Encourages Free Video Standard
In an open letter to Google, the Free Software Foundation suggested that the software giant freely release the VP8 HD video compression format after having acquired the On2 video technology firm.
"Just think what you can achieve," said the Free Software Foundation (FSF) in their letter to Google, "by releasing the VP8 codec under an irrevocable royalty-free license and pushing it out to users on YouTube?" There's more to it than just free release, however. Google now has the opportunity to end the dependency of the Internet on license-based video formats and proprietary players. Everyone from users to video producers and software and hardware developers would have a viable alternative to patents, fees and usage restrictions, the foundation asserts. Pointing to the YouTube video platform, which has been in Google's hands since the fall of 2006, the foundation reminded the Internet giant of its own growth based on free software and suggested, "You have the leverage to make such free formats a global standard."
On2 was behind VP2, released in 2002 and the basis for the Ogg Theora codec. On2 is also the originator of the HD-capable VP6 codec, which has been a part of Adobe's Flash format since 2004. On2 provided this version free for noncommercial use and is a part of the Ffmpeg project's libavcodec library. The new VP8 version came out September, 2008. VP is a competitor to the equally proprietary H.264 HD compression that is part of the MPEG format, whose licensing the MPEG LA organization maintains. Adobe's Flash plugin supports VP6 and H.264. Free software such as Mozilla Firefox can play the free Theora format, but not VP6 or H.264 on account of the licensing.
Google announced the final takeover of On2 February 19, 2010. The Web video technology company is worth about $125 million to the search engine giant. A motivation for the takeover is Google's interest in the Clifton Park, NY company's compression technology, with Adobe among its clients as well. The intent to purchase goes back to August, 2009. On2 stockholders struggled with this at first, as the WSJ reported, filing a damage claim against On2 and its board in Delaware court that the purchase price of $107 million was too low.
Way to not over reactSeriously buddy above me, way to not over-react...maybe you should calm down instead of raging so freaking hard?
Yeah i think you should...
VP8 and googleTheora was initially based on the vp3 codec source, not vp2. I don't know how much similarity the two still have. The problem with VP8, and any wouldbe alternative codec, is that it starts from the starting line and h.264 is many laps ahead. Hardware decoding is absolutely necessary, especially for mobile devices, and a hardware or multithreaded encoder would be needed too. These that time and resources to code. You'd have to think that Google had some kind of plan in place before spending the money to acquire the IP, and they have a history of releasing projects or code in beta form, so it's surprising that there has been no announcement yet.
downloadWhere the fuck I can finally load this fucking codec down?
I mean. These faggots talk about this codec since six months, and it's not out yet.
What the fuck is this`?

Top ten most romantic place names revealed - but how many can we boast locally?
Updated 9:52am Wednesday 6th February 2013 in News
Though some say romance is a dying art, our forefathers obviously had love on their mind when naming the places they founded.
Valentines Gardens in Bognor Regis, Wedding Drive in Welbeck and Gate in Burton Pidsea are just some of the places gifted with heart-warming names down the centuries.
And now, to celebrate Valentine's Day, the AA has released a 'top ten' of romantic place names across the country, that each reveal a romantic connection to their past.
They are:
1. Lovesome Hill near Northallerton
2. Lover in Wiltshire
3. Hearts Delight in Kent
4. Loversall near Doncaster
5. Loves Green in Essex
6. Lovington in Somerset
7. Love Clough in Lancashire
8. Lovedean in Hampshire
9. Lovegroves in Basingstoke
10. Wedding Hall Fold in North Yorkshire
But the real question is, can you think of any local places or streets that have love at the heart of their names? We are keen to hear from you if so.
Send in your suggestions, and pictures if you have them, to email@example.com

Who is the bigger badass that was chosen 11th overall in the NBA Draft: Robert Horry or Reggie Miller?
Why are we talking about Yao and Cleveland a whole year in advance?
Those in Cleveland can stop dreaming about getting Yao Ming. He's not going anywhere!
Kobe Bryant is a top 10 player of all time. I can't believe this is actually seen as a debate. The real debate is how Shaq is NOT in the top 10 yet people think he is.

The Honeywell C8600A1000 is a residential carbon monoxide alarm with the most reliable detection available. It features a biotechnology-based infrared-gas sensor which gives it the ability to detect levels of carbon monoxide as low as 70 parts per million.
It is recommended that you install a CO alarm and smoke alarm on every separate living level of the home, as well as in the basement. Some local codes require CO alarms when new heating equipment is installed, check with your local municipality for specific requirements.
CO is a toxic gas that cannot be seen, felt, tasted, or smelled. The effects of CO poisoning can cause household members to become extremely ill or even cause death. Due to damage, poor maintenance, or defects, appliances like furnaces, ovens, fireplaces, kerosene heaters, and grills may silently emit CO. Advanced warning of CO poisoning is only possible if you install and maintain a CO detection device. Note: This CO alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other type of gas. If this CO alarm sounds its alarm horn, DO NOT assume that it is a false alarm. The alarm horn requires your immediate action.

We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed every minute. Cabin was perfect for us, staff were always very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Food good , used the Grand Pacific most of the time. Teppanaki one night which was fun. Best of all was spa package use for the week @ $89 per person, we used this every day and was extremely good when you had been out for the day.
Entertainment, we only managed two shows, los Amicos should not be missed so funny. Staff in the Spinaker lounge kept us entertained nearly every night, Ian West very good in the Crystal atrium.
We did all shore visits ourselves, all really easy to arrange locally.
All transfers were with NCL and very efficient with exception of having to be taken to the airport early , arriving at airport at 11 am for a 14.50 flight, would have preferred to have stayed on the ship until at least 12.30, some clients did not have a flight until later that evening.

Chess Olympiad Tromsø 2014, August 1st - 14th.
Hnefatafl at Tromsø - article in German media.
The German weekly "Schleswig-Holstein am Sonntag" has published on Sunday, November 3rd, 2013, an interview with Frank Prohl, the organizer of the Hnefatafl tournament at Tromsø in Norway 2014.
See the article here: Wikingerschlacht in Miniatur.
19.5.2014 Rene Gralla sent this article from the Germanan newspaper FLENSBORG AVIS:
great news today, there is some extra promotion for HNEFATAFL at the Chess Olympiad 2014 in media of the border region ... since the FLENSBORG AVIS that publishes articles both in Danish (!) and German, has now published my German-language version of the interview with Frank Prohl who wants to bring back the Chess of the Vikings to the Norwegian people!

Tromsø Hnefatafl Tournament Date Confirmed, Damian Walker's blog.
Hnefatafl is also known by the names Nefatavl, The King's Table, The Viking Game, Viking Chess, Tablut or simply Tafl.

Hnefatafl in Berlin.
28th of November 2013 in Berlin there was a hnefatafl demonstration match between a Norwegian chess player and a German hnefatafl player.
See blog article about the event here.
Also Damian Walker wrote about it here.
- And not least: Rene Gralla's report from the day with photos!
The Norwegian chess website Bergens Schakklub refers from the Berlin event: Silje Bjerke spilte Hnefatafl i Berlin.
19.12.2013 Rene Gralla sent this information about a recent column in the Norwegian chess magazine Verdens Gang:
THE NEWS: Norwegian people have now learned that chess may not be a product from India (BTW, the author of the column nonchalantly talks of "Persia" in this context) but that chess may be a pure Scandinavian brand in the first place ... since the the roots of the Chess of the Vikings, that famous "Hnefatafl", that date back to LATRUNCULI which was the ancient strategic game of the Roman soldiers and which was much older than the proto-chess Chaturanga from India.
The foregoing fact has been the leitmotiv of a column on chess that has been published by Simen Agdestein in the No. 2 (!!) of the tabloids of Norway - called VG (that means: "Verdens Gang") - on last Wednesday, December 11th, 2013.
The chess columnist Simen Agdestein - who is very close to the new World Champion Magnus Carlsen - reports on his first own experiences with Hnefatafl ... and then adds some information on the "8th International Ladies Chess Gala" that had been organised by the German daily "neues deutschland" at Berlin on November 28th, 2013; as part of the program of the event Norway's WIM Silje Bjerke had played an exhibition game of Hnefatafl.
- And here a scan of the column.

The San Francisco 49ers found out their 2012 NFL schedule on Tuesday and, in a move reflective of their success last season, the team has been gifted quite a few games in primetime this season. Hopefully Alex Smith and the rest of San Francisco's success last season wasn't a fluke, as the schedule-makers did them no favors when slating this year's games.
The 49ers will open up with a three-game slate against the NFC North, two of which will come on the road, before heading into their Week 9 bye with a pair of primetime games against the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals. The second half of the season might not matter much if San Fran's unable to enter the bye week with momentum.
The team's full schedule is included below.
Week 1 at Green Bay Packers, Sunday Sept. 9, 1:15 p.m. (FOX)
Week 2 vs Detroit Lions, Sunday, Sept. 16, 5:20 p.m. (NBC Primetime)

Schwartz, who was interviewed at the opening night of the new Broadway musical If/Then, said that a timeline was still not in place for the film of his Broadway blockbuster, but that work was underway on the project. "We're starting to do some work on it. We've actually started gearing up on it a little bit," he said.
Schwartz, who collaborated with book writer Winnie Holzman on the musical adaptation of Gregory Maguire's prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," said that the team was also exploring how the stage property would be expanded and adapted for screen.
"What are we going to change? What are we going to keep? How do you use a whole new language and medium to tell the story? [We can] really look at it again and say, 'Oh, we can do this, and we've always wanted to do that and we couldn't onstage, but we can in a movie.' We're actually having a blast," Schwartz said.
Schwartz commented, "I think he didn't really understand, to be perfectly honest, how much work a brand-new musical takes. Every show he's ever done, whether it's been a musical or a straight play, has been a show that somebody else has done … When he suddenly looked at the fact that he has this other career, it just became impractical for him, frankly."

First Impressions Review: "Player's Handbook" for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition
August 11, 2014 By Dave 21 Comments
The Player's Handbook – and the D&D 5th edition ruleset as a whole- feels very polished. In fact, I'd go as far to say they focused on taking everything they had from previous editions and worlds, ran with it, refined it again, and so on.

WILLSBORO — The current NYCO Minerals corporate structure has been in place since 1953.
Some four generations of local workers have been employed at the mine and at the production facility in Willsboro dating many years prior.
NYCO was established decades before the Adirondack Park Agency Act and the State Land Master Plan were written into law in 1973, even though protected lands of the Adirondack Park were set aside as "Forever Wild" by constitutional decree in 1894.
The mining company's earliest incarnation emerged in 1937 when Koert Burnham was digging for garnet on his property in Willsboro. The mineralogist found wollastonite.
Burnham went on to invent and define many uses for the unique mineral, with its needle-like crystalline structure. He supplied crushed ore for the earliest uses in welding and glass fabrication, including work on atomic weapons projects for World War II.
By 1949, he had sold what was then called the Willsboro Mining Company to local residents John Kiehl and Payson Hatch.
The mining operation has changed hands several times in the decades since.
In a 1985 interview with Don Cunnion for Adirondack Life Magazine, Burnham described how demand for the unique ore grew increasingly more diverse.
Dating to the 1940s, the effort to strike a balance between land-use development and preservation proved central to the mining company's operations.
"Burnham also gains great satisfaction from the knowledge his efforts have created jobs in an area notorious for underemployment, thus following in the footsteps of his father (John Bird Burnham)," Cunnion wrote. "At the same time, like his father, who became a world-renowned leader in the early conservation movement, Burnham maintains a dedicated interest in what he calls applied conservation."
Burnham told Adirondack Life that: "Jobs and conservation are not incompatible in places like the Adirondacks. Conservation means the wise use of our natural resources. It means planned management for the well-being of all. Man and nature can be partners working together. My father believed that, and so do I."

Webb Simpsons golf game might be returning to form at precisely the right time.
After months of struggle, Simpson a Raleigh native who makes his home in Charlotte tied for third in last weeks St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tenn., providing him a solid platform to jump into this weeks U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.
The last couple of months have been a little bit of a struggle, yes, Simpson said before the Memphis tournament. But my goal every year is to just get better by the end of the season. Even if I dont win, or dont make the Ryder Cup team, as long as I feel like Im getting better, thats the important thing.
Simpson, a former Wake Forest golfer who won the 2012 U.S. Open at San Franciscos Olympic Club, started this PGA Tour season quickly. He won Octobers Shriners Hospital for Children Open in Las Vegas and followed that with five top-10 finishes in his next seven tournaments. He spent one week on top of the FedEx Cup standings.
After that, however, Simpsons game slipped. He missed three cuts including the Masters and Players in six tournaments.
His best finish over that stretch was a tie for 38th at the Wells Fargo Championship at Charlottes Quail Hollow Club. Entering last weeks tournament in Memphis the first hed played since the birth of his third child during May Simpson was 33rd in the world, his lowest ranking since 2011, the year he hit it big on the PGA Tour.
After his Memphis performance, he has inched up to 31st as he prepares for the U.S. Open in his home state.
The question now becomes: Will whatever Simpson rediscovered in his game in Memphis carry over to Pinehurst and through the remainder of the season?
As well as things were going to begin this season, there were danger signals in Simpsons game that were being overlooked.
Looking back, there were some signs, said Paul Tesori, Simpsons caddy of four years. There might have been some bad habits that were forming. But when youre playing well, you dont want to change. Ernie Els has said in golf you try to run out your good play, run it out as long as you can.
We finally ran out of the good play.
The Masters served as a microcosm of his season. He birdied the first three holes but couldnt sustain it. He was 5 over par after two rounds and didnt make it to the weekend.
Starting with three birdies says youre mentally good enough to play well at Augusta, Tesori said. But then he got to the fifth and chipped off the green for a double (bogey). On 15 he went into the water for another double (bogey). Those are things we dont normally do. Wed made a habit of never doing those things. But its a great example of how up and down weve been.
Simpson said some of the inconsistency came from new equipment to which he still is getting accustomed. And he has worked on fixing some of those bad habits he fell into during the early-season West Coast swing.
I switched irons a couple of months ago, Simpson said. I was playing with a really old blade. I wanted something to shape and slice the ball appropriately, but that would still give me some forgiveness. So were doing some tinkering here and there.
Adding to family
Another possible reason for Simpsons slide might have been from the welcome distraction of preparing for the birth of his and wife Dowds third child, Wyndham Rose. The baby was born May 12 and named after Greensboros Wyndham Championship, Simpsons first PGA Tour victory in 2011. The Simpsons also will move from their south Charlotte home to one at Quail Hollow this month.
Theres been a lot of things happening in my life, thats for sure, Simpson said.
After Wyndhams birth, Simpson took three weeks off with his family before returning last week to play in Memphis. During his time away from competition, he practiced for a few days with Tesori in Pinehurst and Charlotte. It was the first time Simpson had played No. 2 since changes that have taken the rough off the course and added more natural areas.
Simpson has a long and emotional connection to Pinehurst. His family owns a home in the Sandhills area and he often traveled between there and Raleigh with his dad while growing up.
Thats his baby, Tesori said of Pinehurst No. 2.
Said Simpson: I love the style of No. 2. You dont have to be too long off the tee. Everything happens on approach shots and on the green.
Itll be great. I already have two hometown events (Greensboro and Charlotte), so this will be a third this year. Im excited about that.
The Simpsons second child, Willow Grace, was born shortly after he won the 2012 U.S. Open. Simpson took some time off then, too, but his first tournament back was the PGA Championship, where he missed the cut.
The last time we had a baby, my first tournament back was a major and that didnt work out too well, Simpson said. I think that by playing at Memphis and getting one under my belt, Ill be fine at Pinehurst.
Have the kinks been worked out for the U.S. Open? Simpson says whats most important is that hes making progress.
There are two kinds of slumps, Simpson said. One is where youre not seeing results and youre not confident at all. The other is when youre not getting results but feel like youre on the right track. Thats where I feel I am right now.

I do not know much about the 2C - 280 Runner Planter but I couldn't pass up old IH Blue covered in many years of dust. 4 of them still have the crating wired to them. 2 still have the manuals. I did notice that 2 are missing parts but the extra 2 I picked up have the missing part to make 4 complete units as far as I can tell. Can anyone bring light to these, are they still being used?

I've told you before about my love for Christmas (that was 'what Christmas means to me pt 1').
Christmas for me is that thing I start yearning for around the time the Americans around me are putting out their Halloween decorations. I cannot wait for December.
It's the 'big present' I get for managing to make it through another year.
And by saying that, it's not Christmas Day or the presents I love, it's the silliness, the fun, the plans and preparations in the 24 days before it.
It's time with my husband and kids, making extra special time together to have fun, to do things together, and my big one 'to make memories' whilst we have the time. I'm only a couple of years to 'losing' Goth Child going away to university. Once she gets a taste of freedom and the wonders of the world she might never come back. I want to build memories of happy Christmases before she goes for her and for me. None of us know how long we've got on this planet, so for me it's vitally important to grab every opportunity we can and not wait too long, because we might not have that 'tomorrow'.
Some of you know that I have tried to take my life a couple of times (don't worry, I haven't had suicidal thoughts for nearly a decade, when I'm very depressed with my cyclothymia I do often wish I wasn't alive (the voices convince me everyone could live happily without me 'ruining' their lives) but that's very different from wanting to die).
One year when very depressed, unable to leave my bed I curled up on the Bed with a small Goth Child (Goth Toddler actually) and watched 'It's a Wonderful Life', cried buckets and realised that the voices were lying to me. I wanted to live again.
I watch it now every Christmas, it's still just as powerful. It helps keep me alive.
When I came to the USA, I returned to 'It's a Wonderful Life' when I was feeling a useless add-on to Mr. D, me not having a job. I grew up with both of my parents working full-time (and ridiculous hours into every evening and weekend). Because of what I saw at home I grew up believing mothers (or fathers) who stayed at home to be lacking in work ethic, not complete, not proper. Having matured and seen life away from my childhood, I know this isn't true. Bringing up our kids and letting them know that whatever they're going through now, no matter how life-shattering and 'crucial' it seems as a kid, it all gets better with time and they are safe and loved and important enough to stop everything I'm doing for them when they really need me. And watching 'It's a Wonderful Life' I saw that Mary Bailey actually rose to being a homemaker, to making a loving, happy home for her family: "day after day she worked remaking the old Granville house into a home" is one of the most powerful bits in the movie for me. Creating a safe place to come home to for you and the rest of the family is valuable work. And making your kids feel loved and wanted is absolutely invaluable.
So anyway, I totally relish and luxuriate in Christmas, and I don't apologise for this. I'm making up for lost time.
And it's not about having things, it's about doing things.
It doesn't have to be perfect, it doesn't have to match up to anyone else's Christmas, it just has to be time-out at the end of the year when I look after myself and those I love and strive to fit in as much fun as we can, without making it stressful. If I don't get to do everything on my annual Christmas Bucket List, that's cool. Doing one thing is better than doing nothing.
I also welcome the general better feeling in the world at this time. There does seem to be more kindness and generosity, willingness to help our fellow man (which we all know should be there all year around but we are not perfect people, we're often far from perfect) and lots of more obvious ways that charities step up to publicise how we can help.
So anyway, here's my Christmas Bucket List for 2013. Split into things we do every year, so are 'more essential' than others....but again, if life throws a spanner in the works, I won't stress, the main thing is being together and making the most of our precious time:
(Update: I'll be crossing these off as I do them....that's why some are crossed through)
Every year traditions:
- making and decorating Christmas cookies for Father Christmas on Christmas Eve,
- staying in our pyjamas all Christmas Day,
- watching Christmas movies under duvets with hot chocolate and marshmallows,
- tracking Father Christmas on Christmas Eve on the NORAD site,
- Elfing ourselves,
- making paper chains in front of the telly together,
- going on Christmas lights safaris (driving around the streets at night with Christmas music blasting on the car radio hunting down the best front garden/yard displays,
- do the Peanuts 'I'll be home for Christmas' jigsaw with Goth Child and Melchett one week when Mr. D is away for the week with work,
- putting down 'snow' footprints around the house on Christmas eve because Father Christmas doesn't track snow into the house anymore us living in the desert,
- 'annoy' the kids by singing the whole of Sleigh Ride every time it comes on the radio despite only knowing an 1/8th of the entire lyrics,
- tuning the car radio to KEZ 99.9 Phoenix's Holiday Station from mid November,
- having enough spare change on me so I can give to every charity collector or chugger as we call them in the UK that I see.
(I might explain and show you pics of these over the years in the next few weeks).
Christmas extras wish to-do list:
- Watch as many cheesy Christmas movies as I can whilst doing things around the house or now with Netflix, whilst waiting to pick up kids from school or appointments,
- Watch with the family our Christmas classic movies: Elf, Die Hard, Home Alone, Scrooged, The Santa Clause and A Charlie Brown Christmas.
- Take out special time to watch It's a Wonderful Life,
- Introduce Goth Child to MST3K's version of Santa Claus vs. the Martians,
- Make handmade Christmas tree ornaments for my Sewing Lair Christmas tree as the new Dining Room tree has stolen the ones it had (we are up to 8 Christmas trees this year.....I'll definitely post you pics of these next week),
- Do a 'Christmas letter' for 2013 on fanbloomingtastic.com,
- Write a letter to Father Christmas,
- Read How The Grinch Stole Christmas,
- Listen to Tim Curry reading A Christmas Carol,
- Bake mince pies, (twice)
- Bake cheese and bacon twists,
- Drink eggnog,
- Decorate Hartley (my car) for Christmas,
- Update my Christmas snowflakes post as it regularly gets the most hits throughout the year, it could do with some more links to templates,
- Go to Zoolights,
- Go to the Tumbleweed Tree Lighting Ceremony and Parade of Lights,
- Make a gingerbread house with Melchett (this usually ends in complete wrecks but it's fun....a gingerbread house isn't a gingerbread house, a gingerbread house is the fun-together-doing of it, to misquote Souffle Girl),
- Do some random acts of kindness,
- Buy at least one present from a charity alternative present site like Oxfam Unwrapped (here's the UK site, here's the US one, and I know there are AU and NZ versions too), or UNICEF's Inspired Gifts, or World Vision, or any of these suggestions,
- Give to the local food bank,
- Make paper snowflakes and decorate a room like in Elf,
- Update the Christmas past photos on the electronic photo frame,
- Change ringtones to Melchett's recordings from when she was a toddler....including this beauty:
OK, that's about it....off to make some Christmas decs out of buttons for my Sewing Lair tree.
If you're a Grinch (pre-heart growing two sizes) or a Scrooge (pre-ghostly visits) you might want to avoid this blog for the rest of the month.....I LOVES ME CHRISTMAS and I WILL be sharing it with you :)
Laters, have a wonderful weekend, hug someone you love....

It may not be worth anything, but I'd like to die knowing that I've tried my best. Hence I have submitted this text to Abolish Adoptions without Parental Consent online to the EU Petitions Committee. More can be provided offline later.
It comprises input from 'key players' and expert Ian Josephs who still gets between 3 and 6 calls a day, sometimes up to 10.
This is our position:
- the next Committee meeting is on 19 June
- they tend to be held once a month and have LOTS of petitions to consider
- two non-UK MEPs have promised to help get our petition tabled, if it has at least 2,000 signatures.
In November 2012, the UK, Croatia and Portugal have been the subject of human rights and family courts in this report and this resolution of the Council of Europe which says in Article 4:
Children ought to be separated from their parents only in very exceptional circumstances, subject to judicial review and in line with the requirements stemming from the European Convention on Human Rights (ETS No. 5) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989.
They Council of Europe has produced
- the European Charter on the Rights of the Child (1979)
- and Rights of Children (1990).
Hence I've tried my best to gain support:
- The Secrecy of Family Courts should be lifted now has 1,435 signatures and marvellous comments
- Stop Forced Adoptions on AVAAZ has 723 signatures
- Stop Secret Family Courts encouraging Forced Adoptions on Care2 has 113 signatures
- I compiled related petitions from different platforms and counted How many people know about child 'care', secret family courts and forced adoptions? – with the latest result of 10,635 signatures and 70,689 page views.
- Thus I discovered that the most engaging platform is Change.org where I now started EU Parliament: Abolish Adoptions without Parental Consent with 39 supporters so far.
Any chance of you adding your support to getting numbers up? More

"Super" Bo Macan took on the federal government shutdown to get blood work done at the National Institute of Health. Those results are in and, unfortunately, they aren't an answer his doctors were hoping for.
"Those test came out that part of his immune system was not attacking another part. That changed our medical management as far as what drugs we are going to use to alter his immune system, or improving it to fight the infection he has," Dr. Selina Gierer said.
Bo is recovering at the University of Kansas Hospital after having surgery Wednesday morning. A port used for access to his bloodstream had to be removed.
"The skin around it started to not look healthy. For a kiddo who has immune system problems as it is, it was kind of like an open gateway into his body for infections," Dr. Michael Lewis said.
But his mother Carolyn Macan said he's doing well.
"He's tired and on pain meds," she added.
When he's healthy enough to travel, Bo will go to Bethesda, MD, to the NIH for further testing.
"Best case scenario is we find something that can be treated. Especially with these immune deficiencies, by finding a treatment, potentially a bone marrow transplant, you can cure some immune deficiencies. There are risks with bone marrow transplant, so we make the decision very cautiously and like to know as much as we can before that decision is made," Gierer said.
While Bo's mom waits to find out what specifically is wrong with his immune system, she's searching for a bone marrow match. Shawnee Mission North is hosting a Be the Match drive at Friday's football game versus Shawnee Mission East. Click here for more information.
"It's just nice to see that they care and willing to go above and beyond to do something like this. And not just for my kid, for anyone's, there are plenty of kids who need bone marrow transplants," Macan said.
Even though Bo spent his fourth birthday in the hospital, his mother said she has hope the NIH will find the answers they've been looking for.

Krewella—composed of sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf as well as Kris "Rain Man" Trindl—are back with the PLAY HARDER EP, due out December 10. The eight-song EP features a selection of banger remixes of two of their most popular tracks—"Alive" and "Killin' It"—as well as new song "Come & Get It." A free download of "Come & Get It" is now available via the group's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/krewella).
PLAY HARDER is the follow-up to KREWELLA's #1 Beatport EP released earlier this year, PLAY HARD. PLAY HARDER features an incredible range of talent who lend their skills to the Krew's breakout productions including the East Coast's Cash Cash and Kalkutta, Danish and Swedish duo Pegboard Nerds, France's Dirtyphonics and the Netherland's Chuckie just to name a few.
Featuring their breakthrough song, a dubstep number called "Killin' It", PLAY HARD samples different subgenres of EDM ranging from electro, progressive house and moombahton. Seamlessly merging infectious pop-infused melodies with growling modulated bass, the KREW is unafraid to defy norms in electronic dance music (EDM).
Jahan, Yasmine and Rain Man burst onto the national stage via their video for "Killin' It" in early 2012, racking up Facebook likes and pinging around the globe via Twitter as EDM fans swooned over KREWELLA's unique brand of dubstep-infused electronic music with female vocals. Check the video for their track "Feel Me" here: http://youtu.be/M-mxRBdjXzA. Listen to PLAY HARD here: http://bit.ly/XwiHsT

While she's been a Pilates teacher for many years, she's still a big believer in the power of cross-training. With 11 marathons and one ultramarathon under her belt, Julie shared five Pilates moves that help keep runners injury-free and in tip-top shape. Source: Endurance Pilates Swan What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Learn how to utilize all your leg muscles and keep a healthy stride with this chest-opening move: Lying on your belly, hands in front of the shoulders, pull the belly off the floor and start to lengthen the upper body away from the mat, starting with the crown of the head reaching out and then up. Draw the shoulder blades close to the spine to open the chest and to stretch the entire front of the body from the crown of the head to the fronts of the legs. When you become more comfortable with the exercise, you can add in a rock forward, which deeply challenges all of the back body muscles from feet to shoulders to maintain the deep control while stretching the front of the body. Repeat five times. 1 / 5 Leg Pull What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Open the chest and strengthen the back and arms to achieve a more upright posture with the classic leg pull: From a seated position, stretch hands behind hips with fingers facing forward. Lift hips off mat to create a straight line from heels to shoulders. Legs are turned out slightly, and inner thighs are touching. Press the hands into the floor so that arm and upper back muscles are engaged. Press into the outer edge of the right foot, and stretch the left leg as high as possible without moving anything else. Extend the leg up, and continue to reach it as high as possible. Attempt 10 higher lifts, and switch sides. Repeat four to five times on each side. 2 / 5 Side Kick Kneeling What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Side kick kneeling challenges your core so it will be prepared when uphills, downhills, or turns take the torso out of the standard upright position: From a kneeling position, tip yourself to the left and allow your left hand to securely land on the floor, directly under the shoulder. Extend your right leg to hip height, ensuring that the leg is parallel to the floor. Sweep the leg forward and back 10 times, up and down 10 times, and circle 10 times in each direction. This is one cycle. Repeat for three cycles. Switch legs, and repeat for three cycles on the other side. 3 / 5 Corkscrew What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Strengthen your obliques, core, and legs, while stretching your hips away from your ribs: Lie on your back, and pull the knees into the chest. Reach the legs up to the ceiling, and tightly squeeze them together, focusing on connecting your inner thighs. Reach the legs over to the right, allowing the hips to lift away from the floor. Reach the legs back to center but still engaged, ensuring that the lower back remains on the floor. Reach the legs over to the left, grounding the shoulders and allowing the hips to move first, the rib cage if possible next. Pull the legs back up in toward the body. This counts as one rep. Repeat 10 times. 4 / 5 Rollover What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Roll over and lengthen your waistline and torso while challenging and strengthening the backs of your legs: Lie on your back, and pull the knees into the chest. Extend the legs out to a 45-degree angle, engaging the inner thighs and reaching the legs as far out as possible without arching the lower back. Press into the upper back, and stretch the legs long as you reach them up to the ceiling. Use your core to draw them in; don't just bend at your hip flexors. Keeping length through the spine throughout the exercise and never compressing, draw the pubic bone toward the belly button to lift the hips away from the floor. The legs will reach behind the body and be parallel to the floor. Keep the legs strong and the spine stretching back into the floor. Slowly extend your legs back down to rest on the ground.

Greedy loans agent forged signatures to pocket cash, court told (From The Northern Echo)

Stockton father-of-five in court over loans fraud
4:39pm Monday 10th December 2012 in News By Neil Hunter
A LOAN agent for a finance company forged the signatures of customers to pocket thousands of pounds for himself, a court heard.
Father-of-five Jason Simms told police after his fraud was uncovered in July that he was short of money and had lots of bills to pay.
The 35-year-old avoided a prison sentence yesterday after a judge heard that he is paying back his former employers in Stockton.
Judge Peter Armstrong imposed a 12-month community order with 100 hours of unpaid work and Probation Service supervision.
The judge told Simms, of Beaconsfield Road, Stockton: "You have lost your job and you have lost your good name.
"Your criminal record may cause difficulties as far as future employment is concerned. At least you have got work at the moment."
Julian Gaskin, mitigating, told the court that Simms is earning £100 a week as a delivery driver to help pay back what he stole.
The loans amounted to £4,500 while his float was £1,000 short and further amounts - taking the total to £7,857 - were missing.
Mr Gaskin told the court that there were "issues with gambling" and Simms was motivated by financial problems in the household.
"He loses his good name," Mr Gaskin told Judge Armstrong. "He is thoroughly ashamed of himself.
"He would ask that he be given some supervision if at all possible because he would like some assistance to manage his finances do it doesn't occur again."
The court heard that Simms had worked for Shopacheque in Stockton for nine months before his dishonesty came to light.
He admitted six charges of fraud between June 8 and July 30 and asked for a further 11 counts to be taken into consideration.
Judge Armstrong told him: "There are many people who are finding life difficult as far as their finances are concerned.
"Fortunately, the vast majority don't turn to crime to assist their problem . . . I am satisfied you are genuinely ashamed. This was a breach of trust."

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- People who enjoy the feel of an old fashioned holiday season will find it at the David Davis Mansion in Bloomington.
The historic home of the former Supreme Court justice is hosting its annual Christmas at Clover Lawn celebration.
The 36-room mansion is dressed up for the holidays with several different Christmas trees as well as stylish decorations ranging from the late 1800's to the early part of the 20th century.
"We start out in the 1870s, which is the time period of the house, and we go all the way up to about 1920 describing Christmas," explained Jeannie Riordan, the assistant site manager of the mansion. "There are various time periods in different rooms and that's one of the stories that we tell here is how Christmas developed as a commercial holiday."
Christmas at Clover Lawn tours of the David Davis Mansion continue through December 31.

Litter Pan Cover 1 1
Disappointing product It took my husband and me an hour of sweating and cursing to put this litter box cover together. The latch on the front door was slightly off-center, making it impossible to line up the walls of the box and close the door. My husband wanted to return it, but I wasn't ready for the hassle of putting the whole thing back into a shipping box and hauling it to Fedex the week before Christmas. So now we have a slightly off-kilter wicker structure in our mud room. It does look better than a litter box, but not at the price we paid! January 2, 2014
