Parable of the Week
The Leaves, The Compost
Far above the earth, a great tree arched over a mountaintop.
In a raging maelstrom of rain and light, the tree was riven. In a blast of green leaves and fire, it fell in twain.
Its broken wood was chewed by rats and grew wormy.
Great mushrooms sprouted from its broken heart, and ants chewed its leaves.
Woodpeckers tolled a staccato dirge on its greying bark, and bears stomped its roots into the mud.
As the flaking shroud of the great, fallen tree was pulverized and smashed into the earth, it began to compost.
Fermenting and darkening, it became the richest of soils upon the mountain.
And upon those loamy remnants of the great tree, the seed of a new tree alighted -- and grew great and tall.
Thus, from compost arises soil -- from decay of the old, will arise the new.

Dedicated to Orbital Sciences Corporation's "SS Deke Slayton" Antares rocket and Cygnus cargo ship, and Planetary Resources Corporation's Arkyd-3 asteroid mining explorer, destroyed 6 seconds after launch from Wallops Island, Virginia. Space entrepreneurism is a heavenly road, but no less a hard one.
The Laggard, The Lapper
Broadcast on every television in every land, the race would crown the fastest miler in the world.
The contestants lined up on the track.
The stadium roared.
The starting pistol fired, and instantly the racers leapt into motion.
But then, in all the homes, pubs, and sports bars across the globe, the images and sounds of the race winked out -- and roars of frustration bellowed from those places that day, mingled with a faint announcer's voice, "Due to a technical difficulty..."
For agonizing minutes, none except those in attendance at the very event knew what was happening in the race.
Then the satellite image was restored, still without audio.
Back to the world's eyes appeared the silent vista of a tight pack of runners -- with one lone runner loping far, far behind.
As the camera zoomed in on the laggard, laughter filled the homes, pubs and sports bars -- with yells of, "How did that pathetic runner get in this race?!"
The crowds jeered even more as the laggard fell further and further behind the pack of world-class runners straining for dominance -- and jeered most of all when the laggard simply threw up his hands, stopped and walked off the track, instead of following the others into their final lap.
Only at that moment did the audio come back on.
And only when they heard the laggard runner sob and wave to an insanely cheering crowd, did the now hushed peoples of the world understand.
The "laggard" had nearly lapped all the others.
Thus, running behind others means you are much slower -- or much faster.

The Pickpocket, The Tailor
Handy little man, he thought himself, believing the world owed him whatever it hadn't locked away or tied down.
His nimble fingers flew over women's purses and men's pockets alike, and flew with the speed of thought.
The Pickpocket took such pride in his craft -- but couldn't tell a single soul. At night, in lonely, dark taverns, he mumbled about greatness into his beer mug.
Also in the same city lived another handy little man, who believed that the world owed him only what he could barter for his handiwork.
His agile fingers flew over women's and men's garments alike, repairing rips and tears in them for pay.
The Tailor took great pride in his craft, and word spread throughout the city that he mended clothes so quickly and well, that no trace remained of their original tear.
Then, by the nimble hand of Fate, the Pickpocket and the Tailor were cross-stitched.
The Pickpocket's hands had flown into the Tailor's pocket -- and were impaled on the set of needles the Tailor kept there for his work. The Pickpocket yelled loud and long -- long enough for a constable to grab his collar and carry him off to jail.
But the Tailor had felt how light the Pickpocket's fingers were. He paid to have the Pickpocket released into his custody on probation -- and hired him to help his growing tailoring trade.
In the years that followed, the Pickpocket too became a tailor and full partner -- and by joining the society of people who traded good for good to live, became a well-respected and honored member of the community.
And, forever after, he plucked coins only from out the ears or noses of delightedly shrieking children.
Thus, the greatest civilizing force in the world is the handshake.

The Shortcut, The Straight Road
Anonymous and uncertain were the sisters' destinies.
The younger was a sharp beauty, who loved fine things. As men flocked to her, with casual dismissal she took shortcuts through their purses and hearts.
She married a corporate man -- then divorced him to marry his boss.
In middle age, her beauty faded and her husband leased a younger wife.
Now wealthy, but alone, she walked the terrazzo and parquet floors of her hollow mansion, seeing only inward.
She found in her life only what she'd brought to it -- baseness, and unremitting, upwelling regret for her expedient acts, and the injuries they caused to herself and others.
The elder sister was of softer mien, who loved fine people. As thoughtful friends, colleagues and loved ones orbited about her, with considerate deliberation she walked toward her desires straightly.
She married a thoughtful man -- and supported him with all her heart and mind.
In middle age, her career and family flowered to full bouquet.
Now wealthy in body and soul, she walked the garden paths surrounding her family home, a small grandchild's hand in hers -- and paused to look within, through the reflection of her granddaughter's lucid eyes.
She found in her life what she'd brought to it -- exaltation, and unceasing, upwelling gratitude and pride for the longer road taken, and the extra acts of kindness that healed herself and others.
Thus, your path in life will mirror your spine.

The Fretter, The Solver
Laid off, two men trudged to the pub to nurse their ales.
The younger worker, looking down at his coal-blackened hands sadly, said to the other, "I've nae use for these anymore, except to lift a pint! What am I to do?"
The other, wiping the foam off his grey mustache, twirled its tips with his fingers, belched, and said, "Do anything you damn well want to! We've our freedom, laddie. It's not like we lost our hands, or our heads -- we only lost our jobs!"
Then the older worker stood up, threw a shilling onto the bar, hitched his overalls and cocked his cap.
"So, mate, better than worryin' it 'til we're six under, what say we start the rest o' our lives, eh?"
Thus, fretting is not solving.

Reason, like gravity, is the weakest of natural forces, but in the end creates suns. -- via Alfred North Whitehead
Dedicated to U.S. state-by-state efforts to counter federal prohibition of the medicinal and recreational sales of marijuana, both prohibitions causing death and misery -- one by allowing illness to go untreated, the other by creating black markets, gangs and crime.

The Terns, The Turn
Flocks of arctic terns took southerly wing with snowflake's fall.
Onward the terns flew into warmer days without cease, over the great Midwestern shield of the continent.
But then, with the dawn of a high sun, a flock scattered in twain as, right through their midst, dashed a young tern -- flying north!
The leader of the tern flock swerved about, and soon they caught up to the young tern.
"Hola, young one!" the lead tern yelled above the flutter of their beating wings. "Why fly you north?"
"Does a tern not migrate north?" the younger tern barked.
"Indeed, we do," the lead tern replied, glancing back at his flock to see them all still riding his tail. "But, young one, we think your season is turned around! T'would be safer -- and more fun, I assure you! -- to head back south this season."
"But it was way too hot down South! I almost died of thirst!" the young tern cried.
"Ah, so you've been on this path a long while, then. But trust us now, young one. The South will become cooler and wetter with the coming season. To the north you will find only death."
The young tern looked over at the lead tern, with mild panic in its eyes. "But I've been on my path so long! How can I just turn around and abandon it?"
The lead tern skeewed a friendly laugh, and replied, "Just follow me, young one -- follow us all!"
And the lead tern wheeled about in the sky, heading once more toward the noon sun -- and, among his flock, followed at his right wing a once misguided but brave young tern.
Thus, the life you lead now can yet lead elsewhere.

Parable of the Week
The Charm Bracelet, The Callus
During coffee break at the clothes factory, one's well-manicured fingers stroked the charms dangling from her bracelet -- the other's fingers rubbed a callus.
"My lucky bracelet will get me a promotion, and someday I'll run my own factory!" the first woman boasted.
The second woman had no money for even a manicure, let alone a charm bracelet. She'd saved her cash and invested it. She considered her lucky charm the callus acquired on her sewing hand from years of working overtime and over lunch breaks to make more money.
The woman with the charm bracelet often gossiped about the second woman.
"She's crude, with no charm! And look at her hand!"
But, since the second woman never spent much time on her coffee break or at the water cooler listening to idle gossip, she heard little of these insults, nor cared to.
Instead, she taught other industrious workers how to maximize their pay by sewing clothes in less time.
One day the foreman halted shop production and assembled the workers.
He turned to the woman with the callused hand, and said, "I am retiring, but I've watched your hard work, and the way you train the others. You will be our new shop foreman."
Then the retiring foreman turned to the first woman and said, "I've also seen your work, and heard your gossip and insults about those who've worked harder and saved their money."
He glanced down at the charm bracelet tinkling above her now sweaty, wringing hands.
"I hope your lucky charm is worth some cash. You're fired."
Thus, effort is rewarded more than luck.

The Aristocrat, The Inventor
Neath the rubber trees swayed pots of gold.
The plantation's hereditary owner was an aristocrat of fabulous wealth.
Living in an opulent palace with a mighty family crest emblazoned on its pediment, every day he hunted, golfed, or shopped for exotic tapestries and robes; and every night he hosted salons and balls.
Politicians and celebrities flocked to his plantation and ate of his roast duck, caviar and ancient wine -- and ate of his very presence.
So did Society men and women revere him -- even though his rubber went into the bullets shot from the guns of the junta that, with him, ruled those who slaved on his plantation.
The inventor lived in a two-room rental on the outskirts of the city, abutting the plantation shantytown.
Every day he taught the poor children who slaved among the rubber trees; and every night he created new uses for the gum that dripped from the rubber trees.
After years of effort, he created a sterile powder to stanch the bleeding wounds of the injured. This brought him a measure of wealth, but not enough to interest politicians and celebrities.
Yet the poor -- who saw him heal the lashes on their backs inflicted by the aristocrat's cronies, and sate their starving minds with his teachings - revered him.
Thus, neither thief nor inheritor of wealth revere, only its creator.

The Warrior King, The Car Salesman
Power once strode an ancient empire in the body of a warrior.
In merciless campaigns, he rode his steed over the steppes, wielding a bloody spear.
He conquered and pillaged the lands surrounding his ancestral birthplace -- and in time became king of all he surveyed.
The stories of his terrible exploits passed into history, then into legend -- and then into dust.
Millennia later, in a modern city, power again incarnated.
In the body of a man who, though dreaming of ancient adventure, was a car salesman.
When not kowtowing to prickly, disdainful customers -- who looked up and snickered at his tight necktie, and the bulging sports coat constraining huge muscles -- he imagined galloping down upon them bareback, his pony-tailed hair free in the wind and a curving sword in hand, lopping off their heads.
Customers complained about him -- although all they could say was that they felt a chill, whenever his brilliant-green eyes alighted upon them.
So, in time, was he fired from his job as a car salesman.
Yet he found a way to stride through his modern world.
Accepting that pillage and plunder were criminal and dishonorable, he became a soldier and peacekeeper.
Although he never became a warrior king, nor passed into legend ere into dust, he found his place in his time.
Thus, do not yearn for the best of times -- do your best in the time you are given. -- via The Lord of the Rings

To win a rational argument by evoking emotional irrationality is a sadly pyrhhic victory.
Dedicated to "T'Pring," Star Trek actress Arlene Martel.
Parable of the Week
The Literal, The Intuitive
Detectives were dispatched to the home of a missing person.
The junior detective was young and eager.
Briefly perusing the missing man's home, he noticed no signs of an altercation. "My husband's suitcase and clothes are gone!" his wife cried. Leaning deep into the junior detective's chest, the young woman sobbed.
"My husband's been so unhappy after losing his job, and with his responsibilities as a provider!"
The junior detective consoled her, breaking away only long enough to jot in his notebook that the man had deserted his wife.
The senior detective was an older and slower man.
He looked closely at the woman's face, and asked, "Where do you think your husband is now?"
For an instant, as he watched her eyes dart toward the backyard, the detective felt a deep chill. Then the woman looked down at her feet, sobbed, and cried, "He's just vanished...oh, we loved each other so much!"
The senior detective walked into the kitchen for a glass of water, and, as he drank it, stared out the back window into the dark backyard.
"'Loved,' not 'love,'" he murmured.
In the bedroom, he confirmed the man's clothes and suitcase were missing.But in the bathroom, two toothbrushes still lay on the sink.
When next he returned, with a search warrant, the senior detective found the missing husband and his suitcase of clothes, spread beneath a bed of newly planted roses in the backyard.
Thus, emotions must be clues -- and you a detective.

Yes, I am a direct descendent of the Lake George/Kingsbury Braytons (grandmother was Jessie Brayton, dau of Frederick & Nettie (Antionetta) Brayton(second cousins). I live in the Glens Falls. I am currently making arrangements to go see the cemetary at Baldwin's Corners (Brayton's Crossing) near Fort Ann and take pictures of the headstones or do rubbings if the pictures don't turn out. I will be happy to share what I find with you. It's on private land and permission is required.
The Brayton house fire (on 9L at the Cleverdale end of the cororoy road through the swamp burned, I think, before I was born. One of the documents lost (and the one most grieved over)was the original land grant from King George for the French Mountain Tract. Dad talked about the seals and ribbons attached.
I would really appreciate the genealogy records you have. I have only what is in the Clifford Ross Brayton, Jr book and only the pages that relate to my direct line.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposed school aid package could result in decreases in state aid for the Hicksville and East Meadow school districts but more for neighboring districts.
"Any loss is significant. This is a decrease in aid of about 1.6 percent, or more than $200,000, though our net could be more than a half a million dollars," Hicksville School Superintendent Maureen Bright told the Hicksville Illustrated News.
The district, for its 2012-13 budget, received $11,966,58 in aid, and the governor's proposal calls for a total aid package of $11,751,899 for the 2013-14 school year.
"It's a serious concern. It's a direction that we don't want to move in. I'm certainly hoping that the legislature will be able to adjust this so districts like Hicksville and other districts like us are not going to get hit," said Bright.
Hicksville won't be the only school to receive less, as several neighboring schools are also slated to receive less in the upcoming year.
"I'm very disappointed by how the governor is removing some high tax aid from our schools. The school districts in Nassau County were particularly negatively affected by the governor's proposal, particularly Farmingdale, East Meadow and Massapequa. The high tax is greatly concerning us right now," Assemblyman Tom McKevitt said.
Senator Jack Martins avoided classifying schools based on financial assistance.
"The governor's budget is a proposal and, as we negotiate a final budget for New York State, I will be working with my colleagues toward securing more state aid for Long Island school districts," Senator Jack Martins said. "In this economy, every school district is a high-needs district when it comes to funding."
The state legislature must ratify the governor's budget by April 1.
"This obviously is upsetting but of course we never like to look at the governor's proposal as the final proposal, so we're certainly looking forward to a correction from the legislature," Bright said.

On Nov. 10, a dedication ceremony was held to celebrate the completion of a beautiful new two-story house in Hicksville. However, while new dwellings are an ordinary occurrence on Long Island, this one was unique and special in a way that very few are.
The house at 77 Thorman Ave. was built in memory of Navy Lieutenant and posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Michael P. Murphy, a Long Island native who tragically died in combat while serving in Afghanistan in 2005. However, this house represents more than just the dedicated service of a man to his country; it represents the beginning of a new life full of hope for a brother-in-arms and his family as well.

"This is Fiction, for Sure!"
The story plot (two female senior citizens as killers-for-hire) had great potential. The characterization of lesbian women as "real" people was well done. Bernadette Dunne's performance was quite good.
That said, this book was a less-than-average listen. . . it just never got very interesting. Too easy to put this one down and go on to other things.
And the ending? Fiction for sure, given that what the (I-think-I'm-a-lesbian) detective does would get her in big trouble, since her colleagues knew what was in her possession. (Trying not to give it all away here!)
Not a bad listen. . .but far from the best. Average.
"A Five Star Art/Crime Story!"
This is a truly GOOD story. It meshed the intricate details of art, art history, crime and criminal history in a magnificently interesting manner. It reads as a plausible, ego-driven series of events in the familiar city of Boston. There was nothing I didn't like about this book, although I can understand why some complain about the narrator. Her ability to inflect male voices is somewhat poor. Nevertheless, I had no complaints and throughly enjoyed the narration and the story; which by the way, had a plausible ending as well. Very satisfying listen!
"Unique and Satisfying (In the End!)"
I didn't see it coming. And I am so glad. Ian McEwan has crafted an amazing story that is very, very unique. During the first hour or so, I wondered if the narrator (a slightly vain beauty) really had a story to tell. But I stayed tuned and of course, the story became irresistible.
Not much can be written here without giving it away, but DO listen all the way through and you will be pleased and surprised by the turn of events when the worlds of literature and covert operations intersect.
"Can People Really Live With Lies and Deception?"
This is the second in Barclay's books about the Archer family and their amazing "troubles." The narration is very engaging and the story is filled with twists and turns along the way. This one, like "Too Close to Home," left me shaking my head.
The two books allow you to know the main characters and even the bad guy gets your sympathy at times. In the end, the Archers involve themselves (even at arms length) in heinous crimes and are raising a teenage daughter who is more than a little bit aware of all of it. How do they resolve their involvement, their cover up, their intentional misleading of the police, etc., in order to protect themselves from any accountability? Mr. Archer is a teacher. Mrs. Archer a government employee. Yet, they seem okay with the events and the deception that must continue if they are to remain above suspicion.
Not to give away the ending, but in this one, the real "culprit" behind much of the crime in the story is known only at the very close of the book. . . and that person has no regrets, no qualms and no accountability at all. Breaks your heart because over the two books, this one will have your empathy!
A very good read! Recommend reading both books, with this one second!
"Excellent in Every Way!"
This is one awesome story! It will keep you engaged and guessing until the very last. That's the kind of mystery that makes your time and credits worth it. Loved Christopher Lane's narration and looking forward to reading Barclay's next installment in this series, "No Safe House."
"Good Beginning, but it Got Looooong and Slow"
The premise of this story was intriguing. . . and that's about the best thing I can offer. This one was about twice as long as it needed to be, especially the arduous, never-ending horse ride through the desert lava fields. I was desperate to see the finish of the story in sight! In all, there was so much redundancy in the story telling -- and very little, if any mystery at all! Anyone could predict the outcome for all the characters. . . none of whom were at all endearing. Average read or below, I think.
"just not the same without Dick Hill"
i can't help it....this book was absent Dick Hills' amazing voice and for that reason lacked much of the "character" present in other Connelly books. Moreover, if this is to be the final Bosch chapter, it left me sorely disappointed. The ending was not one that should have gone with Bosch's final days as a cold case detective. The story itself was just "okay" rather than "great." Still, worth the advance order and credit. Can't help but wish for more more more!
"Third Book in a Terrific Series - Love Them All"
The author and narrator of this series have done a fabulous job of creating a wonderful series featuring journalists and cops and criminals. Read them in order (1- Rogue Island, 2-Cliff Walk, then 3-Providence Rag.) Mulligan is a lovable, flawed reporter for the Providence RI newspaper, which by the way, is on life support as are most newspapers these days. The story is VERY contemporary, citing everything from Obama Care to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Each story is unique and different enough to grab your attention and engage your brain in solving the various conundrums the characters face. Political mud, mob crime, serial murders, and the ethics of modern day journalists are central to the stories and make for very good listening!
"Ordinary Grace is an Extraordinary Story"
In some ways this is a "coming of age-coming to Jesus story"; but it is much more too. Circa 1961, a preacher's kid encounters personal losses and moral decisions that prove to be too much for a twelve year old boy.
This is an enormously satisfying story of a family and community that is at once ordinary and yet very unusual. Discrimination against Native Americans and those handicapped is visceral and leads to behaviors and decisions that create enormous hurts. The mystery of three deaths, all on or near the river are central to the story.
In the end, a young boy and his brother are faced with grave, all consuming decisions that will shape their lives forever.
The narration is superb, the story engaging and awe-inspiring.
"Legal THRILLER? Not! Good Listen? YES!"
This novel is categorized as "mystery/thriller - legal thriller" but it seems that is a bit of an exaggeration. It has plenty of mystery and much, much court room drama, but I could not find the "thriller" element of the story. In fact, the story is told in a calm, matter-of-fact way that reduces any anxiety or thrill that might have come along.
That said, it is a very good legal/court room drama story with numerous plot twists that will keep you listening. In this one, a litigator (white shoe law firm partner, husband, son, father) finds himself in the midst of a host of dilemmas, including representation of a family friend whom he distrusts and despises, infidelity, lying under oath, suicide/re-murder questions, and more.
I liked David Ledoux's narration very much and enjoyed the way the story developed. It was not a nail-biter by any means, but did get a gasp or two from me near the end of the story as surprising new twists are revealed.
"A Good Saga. . . Long, but Enoyable"
I have enjoyed other Courtenay books more, but this is a very good story. For me, the difference was that in his other books, I have found a female character to empathize with/relate to; and found none in this one. Jack's mother, teachers, "girl friends" and others were just fleeting characters in the story.
Jack is bright but sure makes some crazy (aka stupid) decisions throughout the story. Nonetheless, he survives, even thrives and his life story takes the listener to interesting and exotic locales where he makes his way with music and/or gambling.
Humphey Bower as always, did a magnificent job narrating the story. I simply would have liked to "care" a little more about the characters, including Jack.

A delicious corned beef recipe that will cure in the brine for three weeks. A dear friend tried to help me duplicate my lost family recipe. I select medium size onions and potatoes for this and I don't cut or peel the potatoes. This recipe came out delicious and my company loved the flavor of the corned beef brisket.

Learn how to get started with Canon's easy wireless flash system, which lets you trigger an external flash unit using your dSLR.
This basic dSLR doesn't stand out from the competition.
An update lets the photo cataloging and editing software handle raw files from the Nikon D750, Canon 7D Mark II, Panasonic LX100, and Apple's latest smartphones.
Pros and enthusiasts in the US can rejoice that many of Canon's SLR lenses are a notch less pricey now. Better exchange rates might deserve some of the credit.

Don't understand your problem. Stand the pot up to the top of the roots in water with plant food added for about half an hour. Drain, replace in saucer.
Remember if you cut back the shoots you are cutting off the embryo figs for next year. At this time of the year they are in the leaf axils right at the top of the branches. Do look before you cut! And then look again!
What are wildlife friendly slug pellets? Friendly to what wildlife? If you kill all the slugs and snails what will the hedgehogs and birds have to eat?
Ragged Robin for starters. Water mint near the stream, also marsh marigold, Have a look through a Wild Flower book for inspiration. Take care not to plant anything invasive like Himalayan Balsam.
You will get rid of rush if you improve both the drainage and fertility, but is that what you want? What do you want to do with the meadow? Grazing, wild flower meadow?
In fact I would remove the straw. It is only usually put round the plants as the fruit come to ripening to keep the strawberries clean. If you have straw round the plants in the winter it may attract rot as it will hold the moisture, and it will certainly be a haven for slugs and snails.
I think it would be a mistake to save sweetcorn seeds as they are probably a hybrid seed. What you would get is a rather boring sweetcorn, when I presume you were trying to grow a 'super-sweet' one.
The photo you have at the top is the male tassel. It hasn't been a good year for ripening corn, did you get any?
Beetroot seed will also, I suspect, be a hybrid and not at all what you would like to eat. Buy packets until you are more experienced, otherwise you will waste your time, money and energy growing inferior vegetables.
The frost will do for them. Bit late now to plant nasturtiums. Just keep squashing the caterpillars.
Agreed, if it hasn't ripened this year it will not develop further next year, so if you have the time take it off and just leave the tiny figs at the top of the shoots.
The trouble is figs produce two crops a year under ideal conditions in the Med but there is not the warmth or sunshine to develop the second crop outdoors in the UK.
Not sure why a pear tree would help. Is someone pulling your leg?

Browse our site to find out about Political Science degree programs, faculty members, and related topics. And feel free to contact us if you have questions or comments concerning the department.
Why study politics? What do political scientists do? What kinds of jobs can you get with a Political Science degree?
Political Science majors at SUNY Oswego examine relationships among individuals, groups, institutions, and governments to understand the quest for justice, liberty, power, and wealth that is at the heart of politics. At Oswego, this quest is studied from a variety of analytical perspectives and theoretical approaches. Political science courses cover issues as far-ranging as American civil liberties, globalization and democracy, health care policy, international law, European government, and terrorism.
At its core, Political Science looks at the ways in which people organize their societies to make collective choices for themselves and others. Thus, the study of politics is an attempt to address fundamental questions like: "How should we live?," "What is justice?," and "Who should get what, why, and how?" Political Science also tries to understand and explain what motivates people to seek political change and how the success of such endeavors is conditioned by history, economics, and patterns of social life.
In all cases, our faculty encourage and help students to develop two of the most important skills in today's rapidly changing world: the capacity to think critically and the ability to communicate effectively. Graduates of our department have applied these skills to a diverse range of careers including journalism, law, government, teaching, business, and the military.

David is very special. I remember his voice coach, Dean, said he always visited his old neighbors and after the fame, he still visits them and care about them. I also remember he would arrange a personal meeting with cancer patients right after his concerts and we, fans, were moved to tears reading their experiences with David. I also remember how an unknown cleaning lady in Malaysia talked to her school principal when she ran into him. She said he asked her name and thanked her to keep the school clean. With no cameras around, nobody would have known if she didn't tell the principal. The principal visited a fansite and wrote it. I also remember he visited a nursing home right before a concert on a very cold winter night. He sang a Christmas song for them and asked their names individually. Again nobody knew it until a daughter of a resident told a fan. Perhaps many stories like these have not been revealed but touched hearts of many who have received his care in one way or another. Such a remarkable young man.

Thanks for this wonderful story!! David is a beautiful young man inside & out! He is involved in several charities & has been known to do numerous kind things for people.

Downtime: Why do you feel a need to make such an observation? This is a
well-written article about a charitable act by an apparently kind person. I was
having a wonderful experience not only with the article but with the comments.
But it seems there is always someone who decides to pollute what is pure.
From all accounts (I don't know him), David is a good person. But, like all of us, there will be times he makes mistakes. I hope you don't intend to judge him too harshly when he falls short of your ideals.

My family has followed David since American Idol, so we know that this is actually pretty common for David to do wonderful things like this. He is a truly amazing person-- one of a kind, especially for someone who has experienced fame. It hasn't spoiled him a bit. He just uses it for good. He is such a stellar example to all who come into contact with him.

Leave the poor guy alone, and let him serve his mission in peace. Let him oave public obscurity during the next two years so he can be just one more Elder, and not someone of note who happens to be serving a mission. That's the best thing we can all do for him, and for our Heavenly Father whom he is now serving.

It was a beautiful article about a young man who has chosen to be an example of Jesus Christ in the way he lives and the decisions he makes. It is obvious he has a very tender and caring heart and that is such an incredible example of loving and thinking of others. He is young but I believe he has been taught well and will continue through life uplifting others through his music and through his testimony that will grow and be shared on his mission.It's my hope he will continue to have the physical strength and spiritual desire to continue to be that "light" in many lives and in the service of the Lord.

Overdue library book returned — after 30 years or more
Apologetic borrower includes $100 to cover fine, cost of courier
Jennifer Saltman, The ProvincePublished: Wednesday, July 16, 2014
The turquoise cover is worn and water-stained, the pages creased and well-thumbed.
It may be a little worse for wear, but the 1965 edition of Camping and Woodcraft: A Handbook for Vacation Campers and for Travelers in the Wilderness has at long last made its way back to the library - likely decades after it was borrowed.
"This is really a unique case," said Andrea Palmer, communications co-ordinator for the Prince George Public Library.
The turquoise cover is worn and water-stained.More pictures: < Prev | Next >
An older gentleman walked into the Nechako branch of the library a few months ago and told the library co-ordinator that he had borrowed the book "many years ago" from the Courtenay branch of the Vancouver Island Public Library and just found it again.
He said he'd like it returned to Courtenay and said he had enclosed some money.
Inside the book, which was neatly tied up in yellow flagging tape, was a short note and $100 in crisp $20 bills.
The note read: "To whom it may concern. From Courtenay library. Please find $100.00 for courier back to Courtenay and overdue. I shall contact next week to ensure all is in order. Thanks."
Palmer said the book, which she estimated was borrowed at least 30 years ago, is the most overdue one she's come across - although it's difficult to tell exactly when the book was taken out because the envelope and catalogue card are missing.
The Courtenay library isn't able to trace the book because it disappeared before the library switched from the card catalogue to a digital system in the mid-1990s, and the user is no longer in the system.
Palmer said the man has done more than his due diligence and the money he left will be considered a donation.
"I think it really speaks volumes about people who love libraries," Palmer said. "They are diligent and they want to return books."
Colleen Nelson, library manager in Courtenay, said she and her staff are waiting impatiently to receive the book in the mail.
"The staff are all very excited to see it," she said.
Nelson said they haven't decided what to do with the book - its condition will likely keep it out of circulation - but she pitched the idea of making it part of a display on returning your library books.
"If you come across that library book when you're moving (that) you're certain you've returned, bring it back," she said. "It's never too late!"
Palmer has been unable to reach the man who returned the book, but she has fantasized about how the book ended up in Prince George after so many years.
"In my imagination, he took this book out in Courtenay and came to the north and used those skills (learned from the book), because he never left."

Deputies were questioning men on Shetland Lane in Fort Myers about golf cart burglaries in the area when deputies say they took off running into the woods.
Choppers, K9s, and squad cars scoured the area for hours looking for them. Deputies have still not identified them.
But their father tells WINK his sons stole the golf carts to support their addiction to pain pills. He says it's an epidemic, and his sons are victims of the problem.
He says he's embarassed about what happened and believes his sons are good at heart.
Deputies tell WINK they found the two men they were looking for, but declined to tell WINK why the men were released. Now authorities are only looking for one person of interest in the golf cart robberies.
