Who am I? I am B.D. Bronco. The "B" stands from Boise. The "D" stands for Denver (I live in Colorado). The "Bronco " speaks for itself.I've been lurking for awhile trying to get a sense of who you all are before I dared show myself. I am pro-playoff, pro-going to the Big Weast (thank you Patrick Starr), and pro-free animal crackers for everyone. Yay! I prefer College Football over pro, because it's just so much more exiting --but football is football and I have to root for our boys after they graduate, so I watch also pro. I've been following the Broncos ever since their win over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. Before that I was never really much into sports, but seeing the Broncos comeback like that against the neighborhood bully was so freaking exciting it made me a football fan. Seriously. My heart dropped and I suffered depression for several days after the Nevada loss last year. My heart leaped and I was in football nirvana when we destroyed UGA. I bleed Orange and Blue. And I whole heartily believe that God loves the Broncos. That's why sky's are blue and sunsets are orange. GO BRONCOS!
I shall now turn my delicate body over to your gentle loving care for the customary poking of the noob.

Apple iPad (3rd generation, Wi-Fi)
Reviewed by tannerpowell (Currently owns)
I had to totally nitpick to make this a 9—this device is incredible, on many levels. I think it's going to further change the segment, in which Apple has a sizable lead already. High-res text looks significantly better.
I downloaded:
ArtRage — The painting app from the commercial. Paint over a picture. It works surprisingly well.
AirSupremacy — Immersive flying/dogfighting game, solid graphics, too.
MC3 — 1st person shooter, awesome graphics but hard to get the hang of using touch for me.
Penultimate — Can a drawing/notebook app be fun? Yes.
RealRacing2HD — Again, graphics feel like a console, wish I had a better car starting out.
Garageband — Totally worth $5 for smart strings alone.
I got iMovie and iPhoto, too but haven't really played with them. Load screens look slick.
I don't regret any of the purchases, I'm really impressed by what it's capable of. Battery life isn't as good (on a wifi model), but I'm comparing to 1st gen one I had before which I hardly used because of the resolution and weight. This is a pretty powerful machine now.
The screen looks like glowing seamless liquid or something, everyone is having a difficult time describing it for a reason. It makes interacting with any content a delight. Mentally, it seems to have removed a subtle layer of abstraction from the interacting with software that I hadn't noticed before, but now I do.
The *experience* feels more seamless than anything else I've ever, uh, experienced. The attention to detail is incredible, and so is the potential. Like the iPhone before it, it's an iPad world from now on.

Radishes are very popular vegetables in Germany and eaten both raw and cooked. Radishes made into a salad are often served alongside Pellkartoffeln (simple, boiled potatoes) for a light meal and this match-up continues as a potato soup with radish. Winter radishes are more common for cooking, but white, summer radishes can be used, too.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 6 - 8 servings
- 1 c. diced onion (1 small)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 T. olive oil
- 1 1/2 lb. potatoes
- 6 oz. white wine
- 3 1/2 c. vegetable broth
- 3/4 lb. Black Spanish or white, summer radish
- 3/4 c. table cream or substitute (such as Mimiccreme)
- 1 tsp. salt, or to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Optional - croutons or sliced sausage for garnish
Dice the onion, garlic and peel and dice the potatoes. Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the potatoes and continue to cook for a few minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
Pour in the white wine to deglaze and cook, stirring until the wine is almost gone. Add the broth and simmer until the potatoes are soft.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel the radish and cut into thin slices. Add to the potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, or until soft.
If you wish, puree the soup and then return to pan. Add the cream (optional) and salt and pepper to taste. You may also leave it chunky.
Serve with buttered croutons or add sliced sausage and heat through.
Serve hot.
Vegan Style: You can add a cream substitute such as Mimiccreme, or leave out the cream entirely, since the puree is quite thick and does not need it for substance. Mimiccreme can be ordered from Walmart or may be at your local natural foods store.

On lookers cheered for all eighty-five veterans that traveled to Washington D.C. this weekend as part of the Big Sky Honor Flight.

Most parents hope to see report cards full of A's. Maybe a B here or there isn't all that bad, but we believe that if our child gets A's in all his subjects, then we know he has mastered the material and is well along the road to success.
However, straight A's may actually be a sign of something else. Yes, those A's might tell us that our child has mastered the material, but they may also be telling us that our child hasn't learned the value of hard work. What leads to success is not just knowledge, but a willingness to work hard. When those straight A's are earned too easily, a child may not understand how to put forth the effort it takes to be successful in life. To be successful, one needs to be able to cope with failures and continue trying even when the going gets a little rough.
Persistence is at least as important as knowledge. If those A's come too easily to a child, they don't learn how to persist and deal with the frustration one can feel when they run into a problem. Giving up does not lead to success.
- August 29, 2011 at 9:55 am(1) Rita says:
Children that get good grades easily and are always at the top of their class, are often in for a rude awakening when they enter college or some type of gifted program.
They are used to being the smartest kids in the class. It is hard for them and quite a shock when they realize everyone else in the class is just as smart or smarter than they are.
It is at this point that they either develop coping skills or they don't and give up.
- September 2, 2011 at 1:23 am(2) Carol, Gifted Children Guide says:
You're so right, Rita! It's hard to get people to understand this, though. On the one hand, gifted kids can be criticized for having everything come easy to them, but then on the other hand, their parents can be criticized for asking that their kids get more demanding work!

VDOT will provide recommendations for improvements that can be built or substantially under way within four years, can be accomplished within the approximately $200 million already dedicated to Route 29 improvements in that area, and to bring the recommended solutions to the Commonwealth Transportation Board this spring.

Nobody really exciting taking the bump today. I wish Feliz was still starting, because the only starters I'll stop down for these days are Perez, Font and Ross.
Bad night for Boscan, as he put up an ugly line of 4/7/4/3/1/2. Jefry Marte made his 35th error in 92 games this year, but Leury Garcia said "You ain't seen shit son" and made his 20th error in 43 games.
What happened to Beltre? Not in the lineup again.
Kiker put up a pretty strong line: 7/5/3/3/2/5. Strop pitched the final 2, giving up 2 hits (no runs) and striking out 2. Moreland went 2/5.
Davis with a homer, double and a K in 4 PAs so far. Moscoso: 6/6/3/1/1/9...2:7 GB:FB ratio though. Smoak's 0-3 and Borbon's 1-4.

Like most, I have a fear of falling. Perhaps this fear is the result of my five-year-old endeavors to base jump from a tree house, but today my concern is for the one plunge merely hours away: the fiscal cliff.
The looming deadline has provided about as much media entertainment as taxation and fiscal policy usually affords, which amounts to the same kind of entertainment an individual gets by watching people shred tax dollars—his tax dollars. In the past few days, President Obama has sworn to a Grand Bargain, Senators Reid and McConnell have practically sworn at each other, and Speaker Boehner has achieved the heights of irony by aborting a Republican plan named after a contraceptive. Now we're told that Senator McConnell has chosen Joe Biden to be his "dancing partner" for a new mini-deal, and that, according to a statement by the President, "it appears an agreement" is in sight. In the meantime, says Reid, House Republicans are poised to "hang loose" until a deal is presented. That's because he wants them to be the first to drop when the country goes over.
My trepidation about the cliff remains because, as a college student, I am completely aware of humanity's infinite capacity to procrastinate. The announcement of a solution, which will likely raise the tax burden on individuals making more than $400,000 and families making more than $450,000, has emerged only after weeks of deadlock and indecision. Although a thorough policy has the potential to save each taxpaying household from having to fork over an additional $3,446 a year, the hastiness of Congress and the President to accomplish something will likely implement only a temporary measure. I liken this predicted result to 2011's negotiations about the debt ceiling, which, by the way, needs to be increased again.
Don't get me wrong: like many Americans, I fervently hope for the establishment of a better directive that can dig us out of the Marianas Trench-sized hole we've made for ourselves. I believe that our system is fundamentally secure, and as long as Washington takes the right steps to realize the goals of financial responsibility we won't have to swan dive into pools of our own liabilities. But even as I wish for the best possible outcome, I recall the old adage "politics is the art of postponing decisions until they are no longer relevant." Unfortunately, no amount of postponement will make the fiscal cliff any less relevant.
Let's wish for the very best come tomorrow. Until then, I'll be readying my parachute.

The league announced on Thursday morning that former Ohio State QB Terrelle Pryor will be eligible for the 2011 NFL supplemental draft. He'll also be suspended the first five games of the season and won't be allowed to play or practice in that time.
To prepare for the supplemental draft, Pryor will be conducting a pro day on Saturday, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, tells Pro Football Talk.
The original date of the supplemental draft was Aug. 17 and Pryor had a workout scheduled a few days before that. Once the date of the draft was delayed, Pryor also delayed his pro day. With the date now set, Pryor's workout for NFL teams will go down this weekend.
Pryor's in a tough spot because any team that picks him up in the supplemental draft can't allow him to practice or play for the first five weeks of the season. That means most of his rookie year will be a waste which certainly won't encourage teams to select him in the draft.


text: First spring training game is today and I have been fortunate enough to be at work. I have a best friend who lives 10 minutes away from Jet Blue Ballpark of the Red Sox in the Ft. Myers area. He is also a Pirates fan and has been talking to me a lot lately about baseball. He seems to know a ton about Cole and loves his upside and hears about the comparison to guys like Verlander and other hard throwing pitchers. He doesn't really check up on farm systems or anything. When I told him about Jameson he seemed like he never heard of the guy... So after the intrasquad game the future two aces both threw 2 innings and no runs. I still believe in Jameson being the better pitcher with his curveball. Jameson is only 6 months or so behind Cole in being ready for MLB with no setbacks and so forth so it is shocking to me how Cole gets so much more publicity than Jameson. With Cole having about 4 or so more mph on his fastball does everyone believe he will be the better pitcher?

I'm looking at the weather forecast and debating whether or not a trip to Seneca tomorrow would be worthwhile. Does anyone know how much snow is currently on the ground there? Is there likely to be verglas? Does it dry out in winter as well as it does in the warmer months?
Was warm earlier in the week. Seneca tends to dry super fast (maybe not thais, etc). Calls for snow today and tomorrow right now. Id go! Do it dude. I've climbed in the snow there more than once and its epically awesome (beautiful)!
yeah I'm psyched to head there in the winter, I just want to make sure I can climb it in rock shoes as I don't have mountaineering boots. Is that too optimistic?
I have rock shoes that are .5 larger than I prefer so I can wear socks in the cold. Regular hiking boots are totally doable there I think on multiple routes. Do you have thin nylon socks that you could wear in your existing shoes for the actual climbing? I don't know you so its hard to say yay or nay to go but: GO! Have an adventure. even if you're cruising 5.2/3 it'll be epic in the snow there and you'll most likely be alone which is even better!
I have a pair of bigger shoes that can fit socks on underneath. My concern is just with ice, but that doesn't seem to be an issue. Thanks!
If you go post pictures! I was going to be there this weekend but switched to Old Rag next weekend so I could climb with a friend. Enjoy!

One game. The Atlanta Braves missed a shot at the playoffs this year by a single game. When that happens, and you think back on the season, you realize that there isn't a single player on the team that couldn't have done at least one thing different and clinched a playoff for the wild card for the Braves.
What if, on May 13, Dan Uggla hadn't struck out three times with runners in scoring position in a 5-4 loss to the Phillies? On July 3, the Braves lost 5-4 to the Orioles. What if Jason Heyward hadn't grounded into a double play in the bottom of the 5th with the bases loaded?
It would be easy to pick on Derek Lowe, or Nate McLouth, or Scott Proctor, but there isn't a player on the team that didn't screw up at some point. The Rookie of the Year contending closer blew saves and the Rookie of the Year contending first baseman struck out with runners in scoring position. The future hall of fame third baseman lost a ball in the lights and grounded into several rally killing double plays.
That's the thing you see. When you miss that chance by one game, one single game, then every mistake that led to a loss changed the course of the season. It wasn't just the bad players, or the guys who struggled. There isn't a player on the Braves who, if they had come through in the clutch just one time when they didn't, wouldn't have altered the course of the season.
Of course, the Braves have also won their division by one single game. In seasons like these, the inverse to the above is true. In a year when a team wins their division by a single game, every player that contributed to every win put the team on top. Subtract any of those clutch plays, and the season turns out different. There are no games that don't matter in a season where you win or lose by one game.
So, I'm thinking about this Francisco Cabrera play. No, not THAT play. A different play. A play in 1991. A play in a year when the Braves won their division by a single game. A play that didn't win a game, but a play that gave the Braves a chance to win a game. A play as important as any other in an important season.
Coming up through the Blue Jays' minor league system, Francisco Cabrera could do two things: he could hit and he could strike out. Throughout his career with the Braves, Cabrera was mostly used as a pinch hitter with the occasionally appearance at first and catcher. He had a great smile, he played hard, and on occasion, he had a flair for the dramatic.
There wasn't a Braves fan alive who wasn't shocked when the Braves arrived at Riverfront Stadium on August 21, 1991, only two and half games behind the Dodgers. Seven days into July, the Braves were down nine and a half games. The last six years had taught Braves fans that this was the point in the season where the Braves would fade towards the bottom of the standings, but that wasn't happening.
Instead, the Dodgers were playing around .500 ball following the All Star break, and the Braves just kept chipping away at the lead. The Braves had been playing .500 ball against the Reds up to that point of the season and had split a double header the day before. The Dodgers looked like they were starting to put things together and had won seven of their last ten games. The Braves felt that this was a win they needed.
They would get up quick in the top of the 1st. An Otis Nixon single was followed by a Jeff Tweadway walk. Terry Pendleton would then stroke a long single scoring Nixon and sending Treadway to 3rd. A Ron Gant sacrifice fly would plate Treadway. After Pendleton stole 2nd, David Justice would drive him in with a hard single of his own. Unfortunately for the Braves, the Reds would send eight players to the plate in the 1st as well, and Armando Reynoso would surrender the lead. The score stood at 4-3.
The Braves would retake the lead in the 3rd as Justice would drive in another run with another single, and Cabrera would walk the go-ahead run in with the bases loaded. Reynoso would hold off the Reds until the 4th, but Jim Clancy would relieve him and allow two inherited runners to score and the Reds would retake the lead at 6-5. The 5th would go even worse for Clancy as he would allow the Reds to score three more times. Despite a solo home run by Cabrera in the 7th, all looked lost for the Braves as they headed into the 9th down 9-6 and Rob Dibble was headed in to close the game out.
Before Eric O'Flaherty, Jonny Venters and Craig Kimbrel, there was another bullpen crew of three that dominated hitters and garnered headlines and they were known as the Nasty Boys. The year before, Rob Dibble, Norm Charlton and Randy Myers had anchored the bullpen fir a Reds team that would sweep the seemingly dominant A's in the World Series. They did everything they could to live up to their reputation. They were angry and they were mean and they could pitch. The Reds just didn't blow three run leads in the ninth with Rob Dibble on the mound.
Everything went as you would expect to start the 9th when Pendleton struck out swinging and Ron Gant lifted a lazy fly ball to center. Things would look up though as Justice pulled a double down the right field line. Dibble would then walk Brian Hunter and Francisco Cabrera would head to the plate.
Rob Dibble was not one to nibble around the edges and he would come right after Cabrera with the hard stuff. Cabrera would foul off the first pitch. Dibble would wind up, ready to send a second pitch past him. He didn't succeed though. Cabrera got his entire body into the swing and sent the ball deep to left-center. The ball seemed to carry forever, and there was no play for Billy Hatcher or Glenn Braggs to make as they watched the ball go over the fence and the Braves tie the game. The game would go on for four more innings, but the Reds looked finished from the moment the ball sailed into the seats. (Dibble's fellow Nasty Boy, Randy Myers, would give up the winning run when David Justice would double in Greg Olson, who was a defensive replacement for Francisco Cabrera.)
Before this game, the 1991 season was fun, but most of us knew, we KNEW that the fun would end. After all these losing seasons, we were all just happy to see the Braves stay in contention into mid August. After this game though, something new happened. It was a feeling unknown to the current generation of Atlanta Braves fans. We knew that our team wouldn't quit. We knew that this team could win any game. This is when we started to believe. Thanks Frankie.
And to think, he'd top that the very next season.

In the aftermath of Strikeforce: Evolution, Scott Coker laid out some big plans for next year:
- Fedor Emelianenko vs Fabricio Werdum in April, from MMA Mania:
Fedor Emelianenko (31-1) will likely return to the CBS airwaves in April 2010 when he welcomes a challenge from Fabricio Werdum (13-4-1) in a bout tentatively scheduled for the next installment of "Saturday Night Fights."
- Lightweight champion (and USAT/SBN Consensus MMA Rankings #13 and rising) Gilbert Melendez against the #2 in the world, Shinya Aok and #24 Josh Thomson against #8 Tatsuya Kawajiri, per Josh Gross:
In addition to the Strikeforce lightweight title, a shot at No. 2-ranked Shinya Aoki hung in the balance. Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker will attend "Dynamite!!," Japan's traditional New Year's Eve fights, with the intention of finalizing a deal to with FEG to put Aoki and in the cage against Melendez in the second quarter of 2010. He also hopes to get Thomson back in action against highly regarded Tatsuya Kawajiri.
Or maybe Thomson will face former EliteXC lightweight champ K.J. Noons in the latter's Strikeforce debut, per Sherdog.
Jacare Souza will likely get a rematch with Jason "Mayhem" Miller although Jacare is demanding an immediate title shot against Jake Shields, per Fanhouse:
"Jacare" talked about why he thinks he deserves a title shot next, as well as potential rematches against Gegard Mousasi and Jason "Mayhem" Miller.
All in all, a lot of promising fights in the works from Strikeforce.

So, this pope vs. pope theme has been building, in mainstream coverage, during the amazing early days of Pope Francis. Have you noticed? One of the world's top reporters on all things Catholic has noticed, but we'll get to that in a minute.
Here's a classic example of the genre, drawn from a Reuters report:
Since his election on March 13, the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina has broken with the more esoteric and, some would say, ostentatious style of his predecessor Benedict, saying he wants to move the Church closer to the poor and suffering.
The key word, of course, is "ostentatious," as in:
ostentatious … adj
characterized by pretentious, showy, or vulgar display
Combine that with the dreaded phrase "some would say" and you have journalistic quicksand. Who are these alleged voices of authority caught up in that word "some"? As a regular GetReligion reader noted in a private email:
You don't see this kind of thing on Catholic news sites — Benedict might have been more traditional but so was JPII and certainly the beloved John XXIII who still was carried around on a chair and had flabella waived at him to keep flies away. It was Benedict who got rid of the crown on the coat of arms, after all. Why no disparaging comments about the exotic outfits of the folks from the East at the Installation Mass?
This Francis vs. Benedict theme has become so popular in the news over the past few weeks that it is almost normative.
Now, the more important conflict in recent days concerned the Holy Thursday rite in which the pope washed the feet of two women, along with 10 other inmates, in a juvenile detention center. The Associated Press noted that this has driven "traditionalists" — who loved the liturgical and personal style of Pope Benedict XVI — absolutely bonkers, or words to that effect.
It is clear that some conservatives are watching these events with interest, as opposed to fear. The AP story did include this commentary from an important conservative, as opposed to "traditionalist."
The church's liturgical law holds that only men can participate in the rite, given that Jesus' apostles were all male. Priests and bishops have routinely petitioned for exemptions to include women, but the law is clear.
Might I add, at this point, that it would have been good to quote the actual "law," which I would assume is actually a liturgical rubric linked to church tradition. This actually interests me because I have never been in a Holy Thursday rite in Eastern Orthodoxy in which the clergy did not wash the feet of a wide variety of worshipers, male and female.
Back to the AP story:
Francis, however, is the church's chief lawmaker, so in theory he can do whatever he wants.
Popes simply make or decree laws? That's a new one for me, as well. Reading on:

PHOENIX - Former state Senate President John Greene announced Thursday he's running for the Republican nomination for governor in hopes of ousting first-term Democratic incumbent Janet Napolitano.
Greene is an attorney who served six years in the Senate during the early and mid-1990s, including four years as president. He left the Legislature in 1997.
Greene said Napolitano has done little to move the state forward and that he would provide the state with fiscally disciplined leadership.
"Storm clouds are on the horizon and Arizona is rudderless and adrift without leadership at the helm with a vision for the future," Greene said. "Unless we make some tough choices now, get a handle on spending, and get serious about economic development, our economy will eventually collapse under the weight of the projected enormous growth and aging of Arizona's population."
He announced his candidacy by issuing a news release and a lengthy statement "rather than spending precious resources and weeks of planning for a formal announcement speech and asking very busy people to stand next to me in the Arizona summer sun while I deliver a speech."
Greene ran for state attorney general in 2002, losing in a three-way Republican primary.
Several prominent Arizona Republicans, including ex-Gov. Fife Symington, U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth and former Maricopa County Attorney Rick Romley, have considered running for governor next year but ultimately decided against challenging Napolitano.
Other Republicans still considering possible candidacies include current Senate President Ken Bennett of Prescott and attorney and financial planner Keith DeGreen.
Napolitano has not formally announced her re-election campaign but she has said repeatedly that she intends to run.

News: Funkmaster Flex's Wife Drops Marriage Bomb
Sunday, Apr 10, 2011 11:07AM
New York City radio personality Funkmaster Flex's wife has dropped an unexpected bomb on their marriage by announcing a separation after nearly 20 years together.
Flex's wife, Monica Joseph-Taylor, broke the news via a written statement.
"After almost 18 years of friendship and marriage it is with great regret that I announce my husband Aston Taylor, also known as Funkmaster Flex, and I are separated. We have tremendous love and respect for each-other, and will continue to work on our professional projects together. Our top priority has and will always be our children! I personally ask that the press keep in mind Flex is the celebrity, not myself or my children, please respect our privacy!" (Urban Mag-Online)
In early February, Flex was arrested on a domestic violence charge.
Famous hip-hop DJ Funkmaster Flex was arrested today in New York after a woman told police Flex pushed her, tried to break her phone ... and then sent her threatening messages. Law enforcement sources tell us ... cops responded to a domestic violence call from a 40-year-old woman in home in Westchester early this morning. When cops arrived, Flex was nowhere to be found ... but the woman insisted he went ballistic on her and left. Cops managed to locate Flex a short time later -- and arrested him. (TMZ)
Following the incident, Monica Joseph-Taylor asked the public to respect her privacy.
The dolled-up wife of DJ Funkmaster Flex put on a smiling face a day after she had her husband locked up for allegedly shoving her to the ground. "We're doing okay," Monica Joseph-Taylor said Saturday outside the couple's upscale home in Westchester. Asked for details about the Friday-morning marital fracas, she grinned and teased a News reporter. "You'd have to buy me dinner," said Joseph-Taylor, dressed in a black leather jacket, dark jeans, knee-high tan boots and a leather print scarf. Flex and Joseph-Taylor wed in 2000 and have a 9-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son. Saturday, Joseph-Taylor requested privacy before driving off in her silver BMW coupe. "I would love everyone to respect the privacy of my family - for me and my children," said Joseph-Taylor. After she left, a bouquet of yellow roses and white lilies arrived at the couple's home. (New York Daily News)
Flex also addressed what went down after the arrest.
At a gig in New Jersey Friday night, the New York native admitted getting into a tussle with his wife. "Yes, we had words," Flex said. "Yes, there was an argument. Yes, there was a phone broken. Yes, there were police called. "I love my fans, and I encourage all of them to work things out in their own marriages." (New York Daily News)

Few U.S. presidents have earned the kind of respect and admiration as Abraham Lincoln has. He was a man in the right place at the right time, a man willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the country that he loved. People who recognize the traits of gifted individuals can easily see that Lincoln was a truly gifted man. His life can be an inspiration to gifted kids who come from less than ideal beginnings. They can learn the lesson that it is through hard work, not just ability that people can raise themselves up from the lowliest position to the highest position an individual can hold in America. Most gifted children enjoy reading biographies, and I'm sure they will love reading about America's 16th president. There are many biographies of Lincoln, but here are some good choices for a variety of ages, from 2 to adult.
1. The Story of Abraham LincolnThis board book about Abraham Lincoln is a great book to introduce the youngest of readers to the life of this great president. Children will enjoy looking at at the lovely pictures while learning about Lincoln's childhood in Indiana, his leadership during the Civil War, and his writing of the Emancipation Proclamation. The thick pages will ensure that the book stands up to the use little hands are likely to give it! Ages 2 and up.
2. Abe Lincoln: The Boy Who Loved BooksThe book jacket reads "He loved books. They changed his life. He changed the world." What could be more true? Lincoln was a very intelligent and honorable boy who grew up to be an intelligent and honorable man. Like all biographies of Lincoln, this one tells us about his his childhood and his rise in politics to become the 16th president of the United States. What makes this one so unique is that it ties his love of reading to the events in his life. Gifted kids who love to read will surely enjoy learning about the "bookish" Lincoln. Ages 5 and up.
3. Abraham Lincoln (Dell Picture Yearling Special)This Caldecott Medal Book is a wonderful biography of Lincoln. It may be a little too "innocent" a view than more modern books of Lincoln, but it still provides a great deal of facts about Lincoln, particularly his earlier life. The story ends before the assassination of Lincoln, so parents of sensitive kids who might be upset at that part of the story don't have to worry. Ages 7 and up.
4. Meet Abraham Lincoln (Landmark Books)The simple style of this book makes it a great one for young readers. It also contains wonderful stories, some that include Lincoln's own words. Here's an example of a story from the book that demonstrates both Lincoln's integrity and his sense of humor:
Once a man in the wrong asked Lincoln to take his case. Lincoln said no. He said, "All the time I was talking to the jury, I'd be thinking I was a liar. And I believe I'd forget myself and say it out loud."For ages 7 and up

Festivity, on the other hand, is a liberation. Through it the celebrant becomes aware of, and may enter, the greater reality which gives a wider perspective on the world of everyday work even as it supports it.
Josef Pieper ~ In Tune With The World
What better to do in the face of looming snowstorms, final examinations and paper deadlines, than to step into an afternoon of festivity; a communal refresher to energize one for what lies ahead.
From ruddy-faced freshman to dignified seniors, Thomas More students recently flocked to the Thompson house for an afternoon of cheery preparation for the Nativity. Mrs. Thompson, wife of college fellow Mr. Thompson, hosted her annual Christmas Cookie decorating party, and excited attendees beamed as they took shelter from the snow for a much anticipated afternoon. Besides the traditional icing of cookies, students enjoyed sipping hot cider, making Christmas cards, a woodstove fire, and skillfully piecing together graham-cracker houses, churches, and hobbit-holes.
Christmas music played softly in the background, and all relished the opportunity of resting from studies to enjoy the company of each other and the college's extended family for a few hours.
Sophomore Isabel Anderson commented, "I had a great time decorating, and loved seeing everybody's masterpieces, whether a graham-cracker cathedral or rubber-stamped Christmas cards. This is an example of yet another heart-cheering tradition here at Thomas More. It was so kind of Mrs. Thompson and her family to host us for a creative gathering before we buckle down for finals and leave for the Christmas holiday."
After a pleasant afternoon of sprinkling, icing, glazing, stamping and munching, students packed their creations for the trip back to campus, practicing Advent hymns and filled with energy for the upcoming yuletide.

ONANCOCK, Va. - WMDT learned of yet another structure fire in Accomack County.
