"Historically proven methods that work"
I love his style of writing...fun and chatty. Nice introductory chapters and a technique I learned while listening on the train (for half an hour) that allowed me to come home and impress my kids by having them write down a 50-digit number and then me recalling it digit-by-digit in order for them after studying it for 10 minutes.
I never thought about it before, but the book points out that before pen and paper, anything that needed to be preserved had to be memorized. That is why so many of the techniques mentioned in the book are from antiquity and continue to stand the test of time.
The mind likes sequential memories. Memories that are stored as part of a story that are made as multi-sensorial in the mind as possible are easily recalled. After finishing the book and applying some of the techniques, I can attest to the fact that my mind does operate in this fashion. Once a memory association is started vast amounts of information can be easily stored and retrieved. It is like knocking over the first domino in a series. They just lead into the next thought, which leads into the next. I was amazed how effortless it becomes once you get going.
The book also chronicles the author???s story of covering both the U.S. and world memory championships as a journalist that ultimately led to his own appearance in the tournament one year later. No spoilers here regarding how he did.
His story, the history of memory, and how to apply some of these memory methods make for an enjoyable book with practical applications in your daily life. I have been inspired to see how big of a memory athlete I too can become. Highly recommend.
"No More Mystery"
Easter Island was always a mysterious place I've wanted to see. Now that I'm getting older, it is officially a bucket list item. While still an exotic destination, this book has taken all the mystery away. Everything (the statues, the people, the deforestation) solved. Great to read about and glad to finally have answers but while all very interesting it lessens the appeal of one of my favorite places. A little mystery is good.
I don't have too much to say on this one without spoiling it, so I will sum it up with a quote from Commander Barclay of the HMS Topaz from the book. It is regarding the consequence of Europeans arriving on the shores of Easter Island.
"It is a sad fact that in these islands as in North America, wherever the white man establishes himself, the aborigines perish."
No matter how benign their intent, makes me wonder what would happen to us should aliens ever come to Earth.
"Miss the characters already"
If you like books that leave you with that bittersweet ending - glad to have reached the end but sad to know you'll be leaving the characters you love behind - this one is for you.
I loved this book! The references to the 80's were fun and brought back some great memories from my earlier years. This is one of those few books that I thought about constantly when I was not listening to Wil Wheaton reading to me. I could not wait to commute to and from work. I could not wait to do my chores around the house. I could not wait to get back to this book. Even though I don't listen to audiobooks before bed (I prefer to just read at that time), I would still find my last thoughts of the day drifting to the characters in this book rather than the typical stresses of everyday living.
This was my first experience with Wil Wheaton as a narrator and I was very impressed. I would highly recommend him as he is now one of my favorite readers.
Great story, great nostalgia, and great narration all add up to a great feel good story – yet I'm sad to have finished it. :-(
"I'm good enough, I'm smart enough"
What an affirmation! While listening to this book, I was constantly reminded of Al Franken's Saturday Night Live character, Stuart Smalley, and his mantra, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me." Well, those who understand me do. Full disclosure, according to the Myers-Briggs Personality Test, I'm an ISFJ.
There were so many points of affirmation for me—things I intuitively knew. Things I've tried to share with others mostly to no avail. This book supplies all the data I need to support my case. Unfortunately, I don't think the people who need to read/listen this book (extroverts) will.
The book is not an "introverts are superior" diatribe but rather an explanation of how we can leverage personality types most effectively. There is no right or best personality type but like life in general, we need to understand each other for more harmonious relationships. Whether these relationships are family, work, or social, applications of understanding are documented throughout the book.
There was one example in the book that hit particularly close to home. Although SAT or IQ scores do not support it, people who talk more are perceived as leaders. And, which personality type talks more? Extroverts. Now, assume that both extroverts and introverts have an equal amount of good ideas. Who is going to get their way more? Extroverts. This could be dangerous because they're going to get their way more meaning that many of their bad ideas are also going to be implemented.
Oh, another thing I intuitively knew but now have support for is brainstorming sessions. Studies show the larger the number of people involved in a session, the less effective they are. A 9-member group is less effective than a 6-member group which is less than effective than a 4-member group which is less effective than a 2-member group. The suggestion is to conduct brainstorming sessions electronically. Collect comments and then share them anonymously and build from there. One of the reasons is that most introverts are better writers than speakers.
Other examples from the business world give tips for how both introverted and extroverted leaders can best work with their subordinates of each type. Take advantage of each of their strengths. Such as how studies show that introverts "inspect" and extroverts "react". Neither adjective should be taken as derogatory but instead as strengths. Allow introverts time to examine and solve. Studies show they are more persistent trying to solve unsolvable problems. The famous introvert, Albert Einstein said, "It is not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer." My hero.
A final word on the narration—fantastic. Please listen to rather than read this book. Kathe Mazur does a perfect narration in a "Quiet", calm, soothing voice. Very appropriate "in a noisy world that can't stop talking".
"Don't understand haters"
I don't get all the haters of the Dan Brown books. Are you really going in with the expectation that these books are going to be award-winning, works of art? If so, do you critique every book you read with that same expectation? It would be a pity if you did.
Like movies, I don't expect every one I watch to be an Academy Award winner. If I did, that would certainly narrow the number of films I'd see. No, I go to be entertained (whatever that may mean on any particular day). That's the way I look at the books I read, particularly fiction and I think Dan Brown's books are very entertaining. They are a fictional escape.
We've all seen the stats that show how few books Americans are reading these days (present company excluded) and I think these types of books are an excellent way to get the masses to pick up, read, listen and get back involved in books. That's what it is all about…like starting children with books from an early age, once they're in, who knows where it can lead them. I want more of my friends to read books and if this is the hook, then I'm happy to bait it and reel them in.
My personal opinion of the Lost Symbol was that I liked it, but after reading all his other books I found this one more predictable. Still it was entertaining and I recommend it. I think many others will enjoy it as well.
"Say it ain't so"
I've read the anti-Coke reviews of this book and went in with the sneaky suspicion that the author had an agenda and I began reading with that understanding. I believe anyone could pick any company and write a book about them in a similar style.
I have to say as a marketing researcher myself, I found the history of the company extremely compelling and appreciate their marketing and branding from their earliest days. I found it clever the way they thought to get people to drink more Coke. . . bigger bottles. Seems so simple now but back then it was an innovation and now look at the sizes of the sodas we drink today--Big Gulps, Super Big Gulps, etc. It is reminiscent of how toothpaste manufactures got people to use more toothpaste. Think about it, how do you do that? Bigger holes in the tubes! Marketing genius.
So while I enjoyed all of that, I have to say I—with relief, ultimately agree with my fellow Goodreaders and can sum this up by saying, Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be Coke (or any soda for that matter) drinkers for which there are many reasons. The first being health. I still cannot believe that researchers cannot definitively prove there is nothing more than correlation (not causation) between high fructose corn syrup and obesity and/or diabetes. In my mind, the stuff is poison and it is in everything.
Second, I now feel they abuse marketing and show little ethics in this regard. Research shows that infants begin to recognize brands between 6 and 18 months of age. By age 3, children begin requesting brands. Coke manipulates this to their advantage through such marketing campaigns as the cute polar bears and Santa. For the 12 and under cohort, they target such shows as Spongebob Squarepants and for the teen group, they use product placement on shows such as American Idol as well as targeted advertising. While believing in capitalism and the goal of being an industry leader, you must do it responsibly. I don't think that Coke does this.
Then there are the Coke wars in Mexico and Colombia. We exploit these markets by manufacturing our Coke there where the people become obese through drinking it as Coke drains their water supplies leaving little clean water to drink. The result is the population has to drink the cheap alternative Coke as a water substitute. Coke also overlooks union battles in these countries. These battles ultimately lead to murder in many cases for which Coke assumes no responsibility. Ironically, these two countries ship us their "Coke" but in powered form (cocaine). While one is legal and the other not, the result is unhealthy for all.
It kills me to believe this about one of my favorite brands. While I don't think I can boycott their products as they are just too ubiquitous, I will severely limit my use of them in my household. C'mon Coke to what's right and become a good corporate citizen.
"A Life Well Lived"
Fantastic book...especially if you've read/listened to John Adams. I have to comment once again on the remarkable and mellifluous voice of Cassandra Campbell. As soon as I noticed she was the reader I was in. I highly recommend that you look for her.
Anyway, Abigail Adams. What an amazing woman she was. This book presents the other side of the the John Adams story. How she coped and ran the family during his extended absenses as a career public servant.
Anyway, Abigail Adams. What an amazing woman she was. This book presents the other side of the the John Adams story. How she coped and ran the family during his extended absenses as a career public servant.
It was interesting to learn how archaic society's view of women was during that time and how she struggled for her own identity within those constraints.
From John Adams and hearing about the love letters they wrote, I had the impression that life between the two was all lovey-dovey but it really wasn't according to this. Additionally, the book details the sensitive perspective of the family trials and tribulations as they relate to family relationships. From John Adams, I knew of the key personal tragedies but they were told from John's male perspective. Not that any of the events were less painful to him but they were written with less emotion that a female does (we're just wired different).
I was most impressed with Abigail's financial savvy and contribution to the family's wealth through investing and her own business. This woman could do it all...and she did!
Remarkable...a life well lived.
"A great biography"
Not what I thought it would be???but still surprisingly better!
I had anticipated a book about UFOs and the secret testing and/or cover up of alien beings. Instead this is basically a biography of Area 51 and its environs. Well researched and documented with people who were willing to talk to set the record straight about what happens there. Some of it more mundane and some scary, but all very interesting.
The stories told are compelling and the narration by the author, professional. It made for a highly interesting and entertaining book. An amazing biography that I highly recommend for UFO buffs and those interested in history.
"Arnold Murphy's Bologna Dare"
An outstanding sequel to Swim the Fly! Like the Harry Potter characters, I loved reconnecting with these fellows and their exploits. Nick Podehl's narration is outstanding and those character voices will be forever ingrained in my head. Should there be another in this series, Nick Podehl better do the narration.
Swim the Fly was written from the perspective of Matt, who is one of the three boys whose exploits we hilariously follow. It is in this character's voice that the author/narrator tells the story.
Beat the Band, is from the perspective of Coop and therefore it is in Coop's voice the story is told. I don't ever recall this character perspective switch in any series I've previously read. It was initially a surprise since the first book had me loving the Matt character. His switch to a supporting character in this book took a little getting used to as it was so unexpected. It was this unique perspective switch that helped spark even more interest in this book and I quickly came to like Coop just as much.
There is one major character left, Sean. I sincerely hope the author has at least one more story in him regarding this series. I would love to read/listen to another from Sean's perspective so that I may love each of the characters equally.
Again, like Swim the Fly this was laugh-out-loud, young male adolescent humor which is just my speed but this time with a touch of seriousness and sincerity. I loved it.
"Good times. . . good times"
Hysterically funny male adolescent humor which is just my speed. I may have said a book or two made me laugh out loud but I think it was actually laughing in my mind. This was seriously verbally laugh out loud. The story of three friends and their summer goal to see a naked woman. The plans they hatch and their foibles, along with their interpersonal relationships bring me back to my youth of that time with my friends. Good times. I only wish we set such lofty goals.
Guys will love it for that reason and women, if they can take the potty humor, will have real insight into being a young teenage male.
I've immediately started his second book with these characters and am equally impressed thus far. LOL, really. I'm not kidding, you butt-wipes :-)

Police say they now know who has been making 'Purge' posters, and will be confronting them soon.
By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – History came to life for students in Dougherty County's gifted program Tuesday.
Students studying the middle ages got the chance today to experience life in that period. They drew their swords and fired a cross bow as they participated in medieval games. Students also learned the art of making marzipan, an almond flavored candy. The Society of Creative Anachronisms hope it gives students a zest for learning history.
"It lets them know history doesn't have to be a bunch of dates and names. It can be fun and it cane be really informative if you enjoy it," said Muegwynn Attenwode, or Megan Byrnes with the Society of Creative Anachronisms.
Students also dressed in clothes from the period and were treated to a feast made for kings and queens.

|< previous | next >Alexei Boulokhov, Our Man in CannesNCPR Home
The Sharon Stone Issue mentioned in my previous update was quickly resolved by a clever P.R. campaign stressing how much she has had to overcome in the past few years, including complicated surgery; what a wonderful mother and beautiful wife she is, etc. Papers even printed reports on how unsually high Ms. Stone's IQ scores are... it helps that every night Sharon dazzles the red carpet with her fabulous fashion sense. And she's pictured in daily papers crying a lot in public, overwhelmed by the Woody Allen reception on the opening night, by the Bowling for Columbine honesty, by the ceremony at which David Lynch received a Chevalier of Arts and Letters Honor by the French Ministry of Culture, an award Sharon was given just a few years ago. The new slogan on the matter is "Sharon = the Cannes Darling."
Despite all the stories of paparazzi brutality, what i'm witnessing at the festival is an odd sense of camaraderie amongst the journalists. just yesterday at the Gangs of New York 20 minute screening, i saw a bunch of them tie themselves together with a long rope which they then tied to a tree to ensure extra support for when the crowds'd push in for a glimpse of Leo and Cameron. The general response to the much anticipated Scorcese epic was enthusiastic, but then again people have been enthusiastic about it since its original scheduled release at the end of last year... The $97 million budgeted saga is slated for Christmas debut in the States.
From hotel penthouses to private yachts to countryside villas, the Cannes Party circuit is as legendary as the festival itself, if not more so. However, many parties often turn sour. The biggest fiasco on the Croisette this year was the party for the British film in competition, The 24 Hour Party People, about the legendary Manchester rock scene. Scheduled at the Hotel Majestic in a 1500 people venue especially redisigned for the occasion to resemble the famous Hacienda Club in Manchester, it was the hottest ticket in town, until the organizers realized that there were too many tickets printed... by various estimates nearly 3000 people showed up for the party!!! The traffic in the street was blocked for hours and had to be cleared up by the police. the zealous french bouncers have pushed, shoved, bruised, and injured some of the top industry people and important corporate sponsors. Since I'm working with the publicity team for the film Iwas lucky enough to be inside the club, where even those who got in found out that the drinks had to be paid for, up to $15 dollars for a shot of vodka and $10 for a beer!!! This only further outraged the crowd, because the single golden rule of a Cannes party is "free booze for all" a.k.a. "all you can drink buffet." The fault for celebrity abuse now is now being laid on the bar tenders and bouncers who "misunderstood" the organizers' direction and charged for drinks, as well as abused their powers and let their friends in without the invitations.

|Andhra Chicken Fry | Kodi Vepudu Recipe
Andhra Chicken Fry | Kodi Vepudu as it is called in Andhra cuisine, is a popular dish that is served in most Andhra Restaurants as well prepared in many households. This recipe yields a dish that tastes exactly like the chicken served in Sankranthi Restaurant in Singapore. This is a recipe that calls for minimum ingredients, moderately spicy and easy to prepare. If you like a dry version, use only 1 onion. I love the Cashew paste with onion and spices so i use 2 onions. If you do not wish to use cashew paste, it can be replaced with almond paste or powder.
If you are looking for a extremely hot and spicy chicken fry, try my Guntur Chicken Vepudu.
|Andhra Chicken Fry | Kodi Vepudu Recipe

Darkness to Light is a non-profit organization whose mission is to reduce the incidence of child sexual abuse by shifting the responsibility from children to adults. This is accomplished through an award winning media campaign which raises public awareness and directs adults to educational tools which will teach them to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse.
To coordinate a Stewards for your group or organization, click here.~ or ~For more information please contact us at email@example.com.
Darkness to Light's Stewards of Children is a revolutionary sexual abuse prevention training program that educates adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse, and motivates them to courageous action. The Stewards of Children program is designed for organizations that serve children and youth, and any/all adults interested in protecting children. This program recognizes that adults are responsible for the safety of children.
What people have said about Stewards of Children:
Director of Educational Ministries, Presbyterian Church"More and more I am convicted that it is our RESPONSE-ABILITY to protect our children! This training not only makes that clear, but is hopeful and motivating!"
Director of Prevention, Children's Advocacy Center"The Stewards of Children video and workbook is not only a curriculum of well-researched child sexual abuse facts and information, but a process of consciousness raising. This program will bring about powerful child sexual abuse prevention efforts!"
Elementary School Teacher"This was a well done presentation that brought statistics and ideas to light that covered basic information about what constitutes sexual abuse and steps we may be able to take to recognize or prevent it."
Parent"I found it informative and enlightening. I especially like the move toward making parents more accountable in seeking information or evidence of abuse."
Attorney"I feel a sense of urgency with regard to the need for more awareness about CSA. Just when I think that I live in a society that is sophisticated and enlightened, an issue like this comes along. I am surprised at the slow reaction of businesses, insurance companies, and non-profits. This training is revolutionary! Everyone needs access to it!"
Community Volunteer"It was an eye opening experience into an area that as a community, we would like to believe doesn't happen. Knowing that the chances are great that we deal with people everyday that have been or are being abused and to know that if I can help only one person then the course is well worth any time spent doing it."

Kalamazoo, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Connar Tava and Shayne Whittington both tallied double-doubles as the Western Michigan Broncos took down the Cornell Big Red, 83-70, in a non-conference clash at University Arena.
Tava had 16 points and 13 rebounds while Whittington logged 14 points and 12 boards for WMU (5-2). David Brown also scored 16 points, while Austin Richie poured in 15 points on 11-of-13 from the free-throw line.
Nolan Cressler shot 10-of-20 with five 3-pointers for 27 points for the winless Big Red (0-8). Robert Hatter was also strong from 3-point range (6- of-11) on his way to 22 points.
WMU outshot Cornell in the first half, 61.9 percent to 31.4 percent, but it only managed to carry a slim 34-32 lead into intermission. The Big Red made 10 long-range buckets in the opening 20 minutes compared to just one for the Broncos.
The Broncos were again outperformed from the floor in the second stanza, 50 percent to 48.3 percent, but they were able to pull away with a 20-of-28 showing from the stripe.
WMU won the rebounding battle, 38-31, and dominated on points in the paint, 50-16.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

The character's look was modeled after Armstrong - the way he played his trumpet, his roly-poly physique, right down to the prominent gap between his teeth. However, at the last moment, for unknown reasons, Armstong quit the film without recording a single line. His replacement, Scatman Crothers, was directed to "Pretend you're Satchmo."

Stream She Got Game
DJBooth Album Review
She Got Game could technically be called a mixtape, but as is increasingly the case, it plays more like an album. It's 16 tracks of pure Rapsody: all original, rhyming about the beautiful and dangerous sides of love, personal reflections and her impeccable mic skills, all over 9th Wonder and friends' production. It all begins with A Song About Nothing, where she describes her "average news day", which consists of unpacking, doing laundry and eating pizza. Rapsody is relatable, and that quality shines on the opener. She's a real life documentarian to the umph degree. She also happens to flow like she had been rapping since she was in diapers, and pairs ultra descriptive and clever lyricism with personal nuggets and reflections in every verse on the project.
Lonely Thoughts is a collection of random streams of thought that's lyrically dynamic and executed with top notch lyricism by Rapsody and guest Chance the Rapper. Rapsody's verse is almost two minutes long, and manages to admit to not being perfect while also comparing herself to Action Bronson, Adele and Kobe Bryant. Chance has been on a tear lately, and turns in another would be show-stealing verse, but Rapsody is clearly the star of her own show, on this track and on the rest of the album. New comers and established greats alike show the emcee from Raleigh respect. Wale, Jay Electronica, Ab-Soul and Mac Miller represent for the new school, while Raekwon, Common and Phonte hold down the established vanguard. Rapsody manages to shine the brightest on each track regardless of who stops by.
Rapsody is undoubtedly the quiet girl next door who happens to be a deft and skilled emcee, but the success of this project hinges largely on the production. Label head and fellow Raleigh product 9th Wonder handles duties on seven of sixteen songs, while Denaun Porter, Khrysis, DJ Premier and a few others handle the rest. As is expected from 9th Wonder and those from under his tutelage, each instrumental contains an abundance of soul. The background coos in Coconut Oil. The sample laid over crisp drums in the Common featured Feel Like (Love Love). The breezy vocal sample and light keys in Complacent. The production is phenomenal throughout, and much of its appeal is rooted in soul samples and the jazzy, cool atmosphere the producers invoke. That being said, a variation in sound and content would have benefitted the mixtape as a whole. It's refreshing to hear a rap artist tackle love and all of its peaks in valleys in such an articulate way, but hearing a love song over a dusty soul beat starts to tire towards the end, though closer Jedi Code with Phonte and the fabled Jay Electronica over a 9th Wonder beat is a hip-hop head's fantasy, and more than manages to please.
DJ Drama states in the intro, "she got game, better yet, she got the game", and he couldn't be more accurate. If rap was a basketball game, Rapsody may not be on the highlight tape, but she's who I'm giving the rock to in the final seconds. She delivers. No frills, all skills. If her fans and the media (not to mention herself) can neglect to make the easy and shallow comparisons to L Boogie, Rapsody will stay satisfying ears from NC to NY, from Beijing to Brazil. Her rap peers may be made of the same meat and bones as her, but they don't come off quite as human as her. She's Kevin Durant in the fourth quarter. She's a burrito from Chipotle. She's the sun in Southern California. She's reliable and consistent. Now those are comparisons I'm more than OK with making.

City of Refuge is a non-profit organization in Atlanta dedicated to development efforts leading to the stability and sustainability of the local community. The community is one in crisis but also one with hope and resilience.
City of Refuge provides resources that arrest crisis, restore self-respect, and transition individuals and their families back on the road to independence. They also provide positive social engagement with life-building tools to individuals and families in Atlanta who are living on the margins. Their services span multiple areas of need – from food, clothing, and shelter to job training, placement, housing, healthcare, and education.
Despite overwhelming social challenges, numbers, and need, City of Refuge finds hope every day in their neighborhood. Their hope comes when neighbors offer themselves as models of transformation, returning to help others in need once their lives are restored to paths of health and independence.
The mission of City of Refuge is to bring strength, hope, and light to Atlanta's last, lost, and least. Those who spend a day walking their streets and talking to those who call City of Refuge their home, their place of work, and their place of service start to see that miracles can and do happen there.
Saving Innocence is working to end the commercial sexual exploitation of children and restore the cultural values of innocence and human worth. Kim Biddle seeks to rescue and restore child victims of sex trafficking through strategic partnerships with local law enforcement, social service providers, and schools, while mobilizing communities to prevent abuse and increase neighborhood safety.
Working closely with the Los Angeles Supreme Court and Los Angeles Probation, Biddle designs protocols and systems to ensure the proper identification, rescue, and treatment of child victims, and to ensure the appropriate criminal charges are brought against the traffickers. She oversees a team who provides crisis response, advocacy, and case management services to minors who are rescued from sex trafficking in Los Angeles County.
Biddle has trained hundreds of social workers, law enforcement, educators, and community leaders on identifying human trafficking victims and implementing intervention and aftercare strategies. She is currently co-creating a first-of-its-kind Survivor Empowerment Program to help survivors receive full restoration and become leaders in their communities, to be implemented throughout Los Angeles County.

In 2004, Natividad Mendoza completed the Teen Challenge program in Bakersfield, CA, followed by an internship with God's Gang in Santa Ana. He graduated from the Bible college offered by Teen Challenge Ministry Institute, where he was blessed with the opportunity to help start a program called Won-by-One God Squad.
Mendoza followed God's call to Phoenix in 2006, and spent the next two years holding down a full-time job at Ashley Furniture while dedicating the rest of this time to volunteering and implementing programs to help young men.
In 2008, after the economic crash affected their job program in the construction industry, Mendoza started From Gangs to Jobs.
From Gangs to Jobs' mission is to facilitate transformation within young adults destined for a life of destruction to an active walk on the way to a good future through caring relationships, life skills development, and career placement.
Touching Humanity In Need Of Kindness (THINK) was founded on April 4, 2003, as a humanitarian local NGO. THINK advances the peace process through advocacy and activism, focusing on the rights and wellbeing of women and children, especially the girl child.
The THINK Rehabilitation Home now caters to war-affected adolescent girls and young women, including victims of trafficking, survivors of gender based violence, commercial sex workers, and girls separated from their families because of war. The home provides shelter, protection, medical care, psychosocial support and counseling, and classes on peace building, parenting, and child care.
The home accommodates 25 girls and 10 of their under-five children. Each cycle of girls stays in the home for nine months. While the girls are occupied with the program, THINK does family tracing so that the girls, especially those below 18 years, can be reunified with their parents.
The girls are taken on two field trips during their nine-month cycle. They participate in sports and community service. The holistic approach provides an enabling environment where girls can choose what will best fit their needs. They can then be regular in attendance because they are not troubled with transportation costs.

By incorporating a strong witness for Jesus Christ and employing a variety of approaches to microfinance, HOPE is an innovator in the field of microenterprise development.

The Children's Garden was initially established to provide shelter, primary and secondary education for orphaned boys and girls. It was founded in 1954 by Dr. Asuncion Perez, M.D., the first Filipino woman cabinet member of the Philippine Government who worked as Social Welfare Administrator. Perez founded Children's Garden on her belief that children are the greatest resource of the nation.
In the mid-70s, it became a struggle to find funds and support, and Children's Garden ceased operation as an orphanage. Through the years, it continued to engage in community service such as livelihood projects, feeding programs, and a day care center.
In 2003, new fundraising efforts paid off. A renewed and much improved home in Sitio Parugan, Antipolo City was built to carry on her legacy. Together, with a group of young volunteers, emerged a commitment: to pursue the mission of the organization and dedicate lives to rescuing street kids.
This passion continues to fuel the team to this day.

Solicitation Policy
All those selling goods, services, or products at the convention must be accompanied by prior authorization from the convention head coordinator in the form of a Promoter Pass.
Weapons Policy
The Central Canada Comic Con wants everyone to have a safe convention. We also want to encourage people to have fun with their costume designs.
The following items are forbidden from being brought into the convention:
- Any weapons that may cause a mess (silly string, filled water guns, water balloons, etc.).
- Explosives (including firecrackers, caps, and fireworks)
- Chemical weapons (including mace and pepper spray)
- Metal-bladed weapons (including axes, daggers, hatchets, knives, kunai, shuriken, swords, sword canes, and switch blades), regardless of sharpness, must remain sheathed at all times or else they will be forbidden.
- Live ammunition firearms are not permitted. This includes those firearms that have no loaded ammunition or the firing bolt or pin removed.
- Functional replica firearms (including air soft guns, BB guns, cap guns, paintball guns, and pellet guns) are permitted only for display during the costume contest. Please mark your prop firearms with an orange tip if possible for security reasons.
- Functional projectile weapons (including blow guns, crossbows, long bows, slingshots).
Blunt weapons (including brass knuckles, clubs, and nunchaku)
- Hard prop weapons (including props made of metal, fiberglass, and glass)
- Any other weapon prohibited by Canadian law.
Should people require entering a costume contest with any of the above, the items will be stored backstage until the time of the costume contest.
Any items purchased at the convention, once removed from their packaging, are regarded the same as any prop weapon brought into the convention and must comply with these rules.
If your costume prop takes up a significant amount of space – enough to obstruct hallways or walking areas – or is so cumbersome so as to impede your movement, we recommend you only have it for the costume contest.
Above all else: use common sense! The convention wants to avoid any and all injury that may result in what you feel is harmless fun. With the number of attendants expected for this year's convention, horseplay could result in injured bystanders.
Failure to comply with the weapons policy may result in expulsion from the convention without refund.
Bootleg Policy
We are a bootleg-free convention. All exhibitors must follow strict guidelines for the marketing of anime merchandise. There will be no bootlegs or unofficial copies permitted for sale at the convention. Any dealers found selling bootleg merchandise will be asked to remove it from the con premises immediately.

All congoers may feel free to take pictures or video at the convention. However, please be respectful of other attendees while doing so. Do not obstruct walkways or attractions when taking photographs or video.
Always ask permission before taking a photograph or video of someone in costume.
Please do not photograph or videotape underage attendees without their parents' permission.
Please wait in line to get a photograph or video with celebrities and guests. Please do not take photographs or video where not permitted, including at artist tables.
Remember to keep an eye on your camera and equipment at all times. The convention is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Attendees should be aware that media will be in attendance at the convention, and may be photographed or filmed at any time.

"Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel is a documentary about icon of fabulousness Vreeland. A woman who truly understood the life-enhancing powers of style and fashion, Vreeland was stylish from birth: born in Paris during the Belle Epoque, she had a nursemaid named Pink, saw Diaghilev dance in her childhood living room, and as a teen, rode horses with Buffalo Bill. A fashion editor for over 40 years (first at Harper's Bazaar, then at Vogue), she discovered Lauren Bacall and Twiggy, gave fashion advice to Jackie Kennedy, and exerted such a great cultural impact, she inspired the fashion editrix character in the 1957 Audrey Hepburn musical Funny Face. In 1972, at age 70, she began a new career as a special consultant at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, creating multisensory shows that revolutionized costume exhibition. Directed by Lisa Immordino Vreeland, the icon's granddaughter-in-law, Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel features interviews with such style luminaries as Anjelica Huston, Anna Sui, Manolo Blahnik, Lauren Hutton, and Diane von Furstenberg. See how the fiercely stylish woman who declared, "The bikini is the most important thing since the atom bomb" helped define the 20th century."
DIANA VREELAND: THE EYE HAS TO TRAVEL is an intimate portrait and a vibrant celebration of one of the most influential women of the twentieth century, an enduring icon who has had a strong influence on the course of fashion, beauty, publishing and culture.

My first fanpost, so bear with me, please.
Some of us from NE Iowa were talking over a few Ham'dams about how pretty our old stomping grounds were and reminiscing about a couple of burger places. That sparked the idea of doing a group ride to see if the burgers are as good as we remember. If you'd like to participate but aren't a rider, no sweat--we'll take anyone who wants to go.
The proposal right now is to do this the day before the Iowa football opener against NIU on Friday, 30 August. I'm thinking we could meet up in the morning at about 9am in the parking lot on the west side of Kinnick (the press box side). The proposed route would be Iowa City to Anamosa via Highway 1, to Monticello via 151, Dyersville via IA-136, Guttenberg via 52, McGregor via the Great River Road, and across the bridge to Prairie du Chien, WI.
After lunch at Pete's in Prairie du Chien, we'd do the whole thing in reverse. There would probably be time for a stop at the Field of Dreams for those so inclined and maybe a get together in one of the greater Iowa City watering holes after.
Follow that up the next day with an informal BHGP tailgate for the NIU game, if someone has a location in mind and available.
What I'd like to do is gauge the level of interest from folks on the site and see if it's worth putting together.
Hope we can get something together!

Not sure how many of you guys have Showtime, but Suh is on "Inside the NFL" this week. I caught it last night.
He's on for about 5 minutes or so. He talks about the Superbowl a bit, specifically GB. The guys get him out on the field to give examples. Not much about the Lions, but the guys were all obviously excited to have him on. And Warren Sapp did make a threat. He said if Suh didn't win defensive Rookie of the Year Warren was gonna have to do something about it (not sure of the exact wording, I guess you can check it out when you watch it.) But it's nice the Lions players are getting love.
Just wanted to give you guys the heads up if you're able to catch it. (I think midnight TONIGHT eastern time- not sure how the national thing works with Showtime)
Go Lions!

Newport man's family 'overwhelmed' by messages of support; body found in River Usk formally identified as Ben Caplan
Updated 4:45pm Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News
THE FAMILY of Newport dad and South Wales Argus worker Ben Caplan say that they have been "overwhelmed by the messages of support, love and affection" after he went missing and his body was recovered from the River Usk last Thursday.
They also said they wanted particularly to thank all those who volunteered their own time and everyone else who was involved in the searches, poster campaign and publicity efforts following Ben's disappearance.
Gwent Police said today that the body recovered from the River Usk at Caerleon had been formally identified as Ben Caplan.
An inquest into Mr Caplan's death was opened and adjourned today.
Following a post mortem examination, a provisional cause of death has been given as consistent with drowning. Further tests are being undertaken.

Everybody has their draft grades out and rather then spend a whole post telling you I loved the Panthers draft (I'm biased of course) I instead find myself wondering why no one else outside of Carolina seems to see it. I'm going to start with Bucky Brooks from NFL.com who essentialy have the Panthers a 2 out of 4 'Honorable Mention':
Carolina Panthers
Linebacker Luke Kuechly and tackle Amini Silatolu are solid selections, but defensive end Frank Alexander and cornerback Josh Norman are worth keeping an eye on. Both are hard-working playmakers with the potential to blossom into difference-makers.
So Brooks seems to like the players the Panthers drafted and doesn't offer anything negative to base his low ranking. I'm not sure what to make of that. Of course everyone says the Bucs 'nailed it' when I fact they over paid for SS Mark Barron. If he becomes a PBer then maybe its a justified pick but I'm not sold on that. Brooks actually lost some street cred with me for his #1 team on the list. When will these stop sucking at the teet of Billichek?
New England Patriots
Coach Bill Belichick departed from his customary strategy of trading out of the first round to add two critical pieces to his defense. Defensive end Chandler Jones and linebacker Dont'a Hightower are impact players, and their insertion into the starting lineup will immediately reverse the Patriots' defensive fortunes. Belichick continued to address his woeful defense with the additions of safety Tavon Wilson, defensive end Jake Bequette and cornerback Alfonzo Dennard in later rounds. Dennard in particular could be a hidden gem if he regains his focus on and off the field.
So he reverses the strategy they heaped praise on him for in the past and they...heap more praise on him. It's not a bad draft by any means but why not mention what they gave up in picks to draft those guys? It should certainly be considered when grading any teams draft.
As a NFL Draft Grader I give Bucky Brooks a 'C'.
I'll look at some other 'Graders' including Mel Kiper ... after the jump...
Kiper breaks down his grading based on 'need' and 'value', first grading each separately and then giving a combined grade. Here' s what grades he gave the Panthers if you are not an ESPN Insider:
Needs: C
Value: B+
Overall: B-
Summary: Given all the health problems in their linebacking corps over the last couple years, and an inability to defend the run, Luke Kuechly at No. 9 was no surprise. That's where I had him projected, and I obviously love what he can do -- he's among my top 10 players in the draft, which is saying something for an inside linebacker. I'm pretty shocked they didn't get a single defensive tackle. That was a glaring weakness in 2011, not at all helped by injuries. Frank Alexander has some ability as a pass-rusher, and I can see Josh Norman developing into a starter. As much as I like Kuechly, they drop a little because they didn't hit the top need. Hopefully their young defensive tackles continue to develop.
No surprise? Kiper only predicted Kuechly to the Panthers with his final mock draft, number 5.0 I might mention. Though I predicted the Panthers would take DT Fletcher Cox I didn't think DT was our biggest need. Honestly I thought CB was our biggest need in addition to OLB. I just know the Panthers wanted pass rushers and thought DL was the way they would go.
As far a 'C' grade based on 'need' I was thinking this was one of the most need-based drafts the Panthers have had in recent memory. I have hard time thinking BPA perfectly matched need after the Kuechly pick, which I think was a total BPA pick. OG is a huge need for the Panthers and so I might buy Amini Siratolu was a BPA=Need pick. But then they trade up to get Alexander in the 4th round by mortgaging a 2013 3rd rounder seemed like a desperate move to grab one of the last remaining mid-tier pass rushers on the board. If I was going to put a minus on our grade it would be because of that trade instead of simply failing to land a DT.
PR Joe Adams was an obvious need pick, having been devoid of excitement during punt returns for many seasons. As much as I love CB Josh Norman and thought he was value in the 5th round you know they were not going to leave this draft without a CB. Throw in the most obvious need pick in the punter Brad Nortman in the 6th and I at least give this draft a B+ for addressing need.
An an NFL Draft Grader I have to give Mel Kiper a 'D'.
Our third Grader is Pete Priscoe from CBSSports.com Pete gives the Panthers a solid grade:
Best pick: Fourth-round receiver Joe Adams is a nice player. He has the look of a good slot receiver.
Questionable move: It's quibbling, but taking Amini Silatolu in the second round over some bigger-school lineman is a risk. I like the kid, though, so I am nitpicking.
Third-day gem: Fifth-round corner Josh Norman comes from small-school Coastal Carolina. He impressed during the season, but didn't have a great Senior Bowl week. Some scouts think it was too big for him. But he has the ability if he can adjust.
Analysis: General manager Marty Hurney had a heck of a draft. It started with linebacker Luke Kuechly in the first round and it continued all the way through it. I love Adams and Norman on the final day.
Grade: B+
I was thinking Adams was drafted right around where he was expected to go. Same with Silatolu. Also, I was thinking Josh Norman looked great Senior Bowl week, had 6 INTs during practice and really wowed the coaches. Though he's particularly fast Norman has nice size and better yet, knows how to play the ball int he air.
Even though the grade may be a little lower than I would give Priscoe gives some high praise to Hurney. I have to agree. He goes on to give the Bucs a 'B' which I think is about right. He gives the Falcons a 'C' sighting that they essentially made one good pick in C Peter Konz and the draft result is tied to Julio Jones.
Priscoe finishes by giving the Saints and F. That you Pete for using the entire grading scale. So many graders are scared to grade on the curve, meaning that comparatively somebody had to fail. When the Saints did finally make a pick they seemed to reach for a guy that played in Canada.
Looking at who Piscoe gave A's too he was impressed with only three teams: Steelers, Colts & Bengals. I have to admit the three did do pretty good.
As an NFL Draft Grader I give Pete Priscoe a B.
I'll keep my eye out for another others to evaluate and see if I can find a A out there somewhere.

Four days later Alice is orphaned and is informed that she is to go live with her Uncle Jerry.

Poor nutrition 'can seriously damage child's life chances'
These findings confirm our very worst fears - that poor nutrition is capable of seriously damaging a child's life chances before he or she even sets foot in a classroom.
We have made huge progress in tackling child deaths, but having a quarter of the world's children at risk of under-performing at school will have grave consequences for the fight to end global poverty.
– Save the Children Chief Executive Justin Forsyth
World leaders must take the opportunity to change this in London on June 8th and commit to tackle the scourge of malnutrition for good.
We want to see funding for countries suffering the highest burden so that millions of children's lives can be transformed.

Search for illegal immigrants angers advocates for reform
The arrests took place in Manchester and Nashua. A spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said three of the four were quickly released from custody and given a date to appear before an immigration judge.
The fourth - Rigoberto Obregon-Perez - was jailed on a warrant for failing to appear in court on a charge of drunken driving, and ICE has placed a hold on him, said Manchester police Lt. Maureen Tessier.
ICE said Obregon-Perez has a record that includes convictions of drunken-driving and disorderly conduct.
The arrests angered immigration reform advocates, who held a small protest outside the federal building in Manchester Monday afternoon.
A "prayerful protest" is scheduled for 4 p.m. today outside the federal building.
Eva Castillo, director of the New Hampshire Alliance for Immigrants and Refugees, said the two people arrested in Nashua attended a rally of about 100 faith, labor and community activists in Nashua on Saturday.
"Now, I'm scared for the people who spoke at the rally," she said.
She said the two who attended the rally are Edgar Granados-Torillo, 29, and his uncle, Arnulfo Granados-Torillo, 56. Both are Honduran. The senior Granados-Torillo has been in the country since 1997, and they only have a traffic violation between them, she said. Castillo questioned whether ICE spied on the rally in Nashua on Saturday; only immigrants with proper papers will attend today's protest in Manchester, she said.
"I don't want to run the risk of having anyone identified by these jerks," said Castillo, who is also a Manchester police commissioner.
ICE spokesman Ross Feinstein said the arrests had nothing to do with the rally, and the Granados-Torillo men were released from custody.
Feinstein said the arrests are part of an on-going enforcement action that involves at-large criminal aliens who pose a threat to the community.
"No one is being targeted indiscriminately," Feinstein said. "This is a very targeted immigration action. It's being done to people who have certain criminal convictions that fall into our priorities. We can't deport every person in the country illegally."
In Manchester, about 20 ICE and Manchester police showed up at a private party at El Mexicano Restaurant about 10 p.m. Sunday, said co-owner Lidia Rodriguez. She said agents pushed through the door, gave her sister a hard time when she started photographing them, and threatened to visit her restaurant continuously, a tactic that would scare away her customers.
"This is no good for my business," she said.
The other person who was detained, Ruben Mendez, 19, has been in Manchester for four years, Rodriguez said. He moved to Manchester to make money and send it to his family in Mexico, where his parents are in ill health, she said.

WonderCon: Peter Berg Explains How Stephen Hawking And His Father Inspired 'Battleship', Not The Board Game
Posted on Monday, March 19th, 2012 by Peter Sciretta
I'll be completely up front with you — I really have had no interest in the movie Battleship since it was announced. Even the recent action-packed Michael Bay-lite trailers didn't win me over. I just didn't see the point of making a big screen adaptation of the Battleship board game. And I also didn't understand why an adaptation of that board game would involve an alien attack. It just didn't make sense to me. Despite loving director Peter Berg's previous films and recently discovering the awesomeness of Friday Night Lights (the tv series), I just didn't care.
When Peter Berg stepped onto the WonderCon stage in Anaheim, you could tell he was on a mission. Why a movie based on a board game? Why aliens? Berg made his pitch and somehow was able to change my mind — I now am excited to see this film.
Peter Berg never wanted to make a movie based on a board game. He wanted to make a naval movie but Hollywood wouldn't let him.
