Water: Will There Be Enough?
page 2
Such big projects also require giant quantities of increasingly expensive energy. Pumping, moving, treating, and distributing water takes energy at every stage. Transferring Colorado River water into southern California, for example, requires about 1.6 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per cubic meter (about 264 gallons) of water; the same quantity of water sent hundreds of kilometers from north to south through California's State Water Project takes about 2.4 kWh. As a result, the energy required to provide drinking water to a typical southern California home can rank third behind that required to run the air conditioner and refrigerator. [8]
Planners and policy-makers are eyeing desalination as a silver-bullet solution to water shortages. But they miss—or dismiss—the perverse irony: By burning more fossil fuels and by making local water supplies more and more dependent on increasingly expensive energy, desalination creates more problems than it solves. [9] Producing one cubic meter of drinkable water from salt water requires about 2 kWh of electricity.
Water for People and Nature
As the limitations of big‑infrastructure strategies have become more apparent, a vanguard of citizens, communities, farmers, and corporations are thinking about water in a new way. They're asking, what do we really need the water for, and can we meet that need with less? The upshot of this shift in thinking is a new movement in water management that is much more about ideas, ingenuity, and ecological intelligence than it is about big pumps, pipelines, dams, and canals.
These solutions tend to work with nature, rather than against it. In this way, they make effective use of "ecosystem services"—the benefits provided by healthy watersheds and wetlands. And through better technologies and more informed choices, they seek to raise water productivity—to make every drop count.
Communities are finding, for example, that protecting watersheds is the best way to make sure water supplies are clean and reliable. A healthy watershed can do the work of a water treatment plant—filtering out pollutants, and at a lower cost to boot. New York City, for instance, is investing some $1.5 billion to restore and protect the Catskill-Delaware Watershed (which supplies 90 percent of its drinking water) in lieu of constructing a $6 billion filtration plant that would cost an additional $300 million a year to operate. [10] A number of other cities across the United States—from tiny Auburn, Maine, to Seattle—have saved hundreds of millions of dollars in avoided capital and operating costs by opting for watershed protection over filtration plants. [11]
Communities facing increased flood damage are achieving cost-effective flood protection by restoring rivers. After enduring 19 flood episodes between 1961 and 1997, Napa, Calif., opted for this approach over the conventional route of channelizing and building levees. In partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the $366 million project is reconnecting the Napa River with its historic floodplain, moving homes and businesses out of harm's way, revitalizing wetlands and marshlands, and constructing levees and bypass channels in strategic locations. In addition to increased flood protection and reduced flood insurance rates, Napa residents will benefit from parks and trails for recreation, higher tourism revenues, and improved habitat for fish and wildlife. [12]
Similarly, communities facing increased damage from heavy stormwater runoff can turn roofs, streets, and parking lots into water catchments. Portland, Ore., is investing in "green roofs" and "green streets" to prevent sewer overflows into the Willamette River. [13] Chicago now boasts more than 200 green roofs—including atop City Hall—that collectively cover 2.5 million square feet, more than any other U.S. city. The vegetated roofs are providing space for urban gardens and helping to catch stormwater and cool the urban environment. [14]
Watershed Moments
YES! Magazine Poster:
3 Big Ideas to Make Water Last
Many communities are revitalizing their rivers by tearing down dams that are no longer safe or serving a justifiable purpose. Over the last decade more than 500 dams have been removed from U.S. rivers, opening up habitat for fisheries, restoring healthier water flows, improving water quality, and returning aquatic life to rivers. [15] In the 10 years since the Edwards Dam was removed from the Kennebec River near Augusta, Maine, populations of alewives and striped bass have returned in astounding numbers, reviving a recreational fishery that adds $65 million annually to the local economy. [16]
Conservation remains the least expensive and most environmentally sound way of balancing water budgets. Many cities and towns have reduced their water use through relatively simple measures like repairing leaks in distribution systems, retrofitting homes and businesses with water-efficient fixtures and appliances, and promoting more sensible and efficient outdoor water use. Motivated by a cap on groundwater pumping from the Edwards Aquifer in south-central Texas, San Antonio has cut its per capita water use by more than 40 percent, to one of the lowest levels of any Western U.S. city. [17] Even more impressive, a highly successful conservation program started in 1987 in Boston cut total water demand 43 percent by 2009, bringing water use to a 50-year low and eliminating the need for a costly diversion project from the Connecticut River. [18]
But the potential for conservation has barely been tapped. It is especially crucial in agriculture. Irrigation accounts for 70 percent of water use worldwide and even more in the western U.S., so getting more crop per drop is central to meeting future food needs sustainably. In California, more famers are turning to drip irrigation, which delivers water at low volumes directly to the roots of crops. Between 2003 and 2008, California's drip and micro-sprinkler area expanded by 630,000 acres, bringing its total to more than 2.3 million acres—62 percent of the nation's total area under drip irrigation. [19]
As individuals, we'll also need to make more conscious choices about what and how much we consume. Some products and foods—especially meat—have a high water cost. It can take five times more water to supply 10 grams of protein from beef than from rice. So eating less meat can lighten our dietary water footprint (while also improving our health). If all U.S. residents reduced their consumption of animal products by half, the nation's total dietary water requirement in 2025 would drop by 261 billion cubic meters per year, a savings equal to the annual flow of 14 Colorado Rivers. [20]
We'll need to change how we use water in and around our homes and neighborhoods. Turf grass covers some 40.5 million acres in the United States—an area three times larger than any irrigated farm crop in the country. [21] Particularly in the western United States, where outdoor watering typically accounts for 50 percent or more of household water use, converting thirsty green lawns into native drought-tolerant landscaping can save a great deal of water. Las Vegas now pays residents up to $1.50 for each square foot of grass they rip out, which has helped shrink the city's turf area by 125 million square feet and lower its annual water use by 7 billion gallons. [22, 23] Albuquerque, New Mexico, has reduced its total water use by 21 percent since 1995, largely through education and rebates to encourage water-thrifty landscapes. [24]
Energy and water are tightly entwined, and all too often public policies to "solve" one problem simply make the other one worse. For example, the 2007 congressional mandate [25] to produce 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol a year by 2015 would require an estimated 1.6 trillion gallons of additional irrigation water annually (and even more direct rainfall)—a volume exceeding the annual water withdrawals of the entire state of Iowa. [26] Even solar power creates a demand for water, especially some of the big solar-thermal power plants slated for the sunny Southwest. [27]
It's still possible to have a future in which all basic food and water needs are met, healthy ecosystems are sustained, and communities remain secure and resilient, even in the face of climate disruptions. Just as the economic crash is forcing Americans to reassess what they value financially, the water crisis requires us to pay attention to how we value and use water. Across the country, communities will need to learn to take care of the ecosystems that supply and cleanse water, to live within their water means, and to share water equitably.

Ways to help someone newly widowed.
I hope this does not dredge up too many painful memories, but if those of you who were widowed suddenly could please share the most helpful things to you in that first few days, we are trying to give large numbers of people ideas about what they can do to assist my friend who has been unexpectedly widowed. There have already been so many visitors to her home bringing food that we suggested donations to a fund or grocery gift cards instead, because the other lady & I who were helping were starting to get concerned that things couldn't be stored and would just end up being thrown out. Everyone wants to help but nobody knows how. Is there anything in particular someone did or said that helped you? Were there any issues that came up a few weeks out that you wish someone could have been able to help with?

Children ages 5 and up may come and learn about this ancient counting device.
The abacus is one of many counting devices invented to help count large numbers. The abacus is still in use today by shopkeepers in Asia and "Chinatowns" in North America.
One particular use for the abacus is teaching children simple mathematics and especially multiplication; the abacus is an excellent substitute for rote memorization of multiplication tables, a particularily detestable task for young children. The abacus is also an excellent tool for teaching other base numbering systems since it easily adapts itself to any base.

2002-44 abc
Grace Nickel's ceramic practice pushes the expectation of clay. Retaining, yet moving beyond the vessel format, she works in complex installations where pieces coexist, interacting with both the physical space they inhabit as well as the surrounding components with which they share it. Terminus Ultimus was part of the installation A Quiet Passage, exhibited at the WAG in 2002. The focal point of the installation was three large ceramic free-standing columns which supported slumped glass bowls, the latter lit dramatically from above. This piece was the third and final column to be experienced by the viewer. The works presented in A Quiet Passage, including the column reproduced here, reflect Nickel's interest in architecture, and also the profound effect her father's concurrent fight with terminal cancer had on her. The forms, colours, and motifs used on the columnar support combine contrasting elements of the architectural, the organic, and the human. They suggest at once stability and fragility, body and spirit, death and regeneration.

Well. If you are 380 ilvl gear you should be pulling around 30k+ dps per person if they play perfectly.
Armory links would be helpful.
So we spent all night wiping to ultraxion partly due to dps being low...we were using three healers, will only use two next week, but one of our dps started complaining that we don't have the gear, my rebuttal was that we were underperforming. For the most part we have an average ilvl of 380. So in that gear what should my dps be pulling?
Some of our wipes were due to ppl dying to stupid mechanics.

[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
Ultraxion 10 man requires slightly over 155,000 raid DPS (155,312) to complete before the hard wipe of Twilight Eruption (at 6 minutes and 5 seconds). This is provided you live until the point where Twilight Eruption is cast. If people are dying significantly sooner than that it may indicate healing issues. If everyone is alive when Twilight Eruption is cast and the boss finishes this cast then it is a DPS issue.
DPS should be squeezing out every bit of DPS they can on this encounter as it is a true throughput test. There are lots of methods of increasing DPS on this encounter. First, since the encounter has an extremely accurrately predicted start from boss mods (from the scripting of events) it is very easy to pre-potion on this encounter. Second, DPS and tanks leaving the Twilight Realm to avoid Fading Light or Hour of Twilight can use Heroic Will as close to completion of the debuff timer or cast timer as possible to minimize the time spent in the normal realm where they can't do anything. Third, even if you are running three healers, healing demand ramps up substantially later in the fight and healers, particularly Discipline Priests, can provide a fair amount of DPS on the boss prior to their full attention being required for healing. Some raids will run with only two healers which can result in reducing the fight duration by about one minute however typically this will help a group if they already had the DPS required to beat the hard enrage. If your DPS was insufficient with three healers, switching to two healers even though the fight duration will be shorter it will still hit a point where two healers won't be sufficient to keep people alive.
Because healing demand increases later in the fight, Heroism/Bloodlust/Time Warp should be saved for later in the fight as it will also increase healing throughput.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
Individual performance will vary from person to person on this fight. However consider that both of your tanks combined do about 25,000 DPS. If you have 5 other DPS each averaging out to 25,000 DPS then this nets you a total of 150,000 DPS which is short of the kill mark. On average, DPS should be above 26,000 for this fight. Some may likely be well over 30,000 no problem, such as Rogues who seem to get weapons in this new tier very quickly. Others may be in the mid 20s, so long as the total for the raid is over the necessary amount. As for what you deem acceptable for each individual is largely up to you, but anyone below the target point of 26,000 by more than a little could likely use some work.

[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
Actually it would still be better to use it later since DPS has ramp up times and if you are pre-potioning you would ideally want it to line up with the potion being off cooldown as well as major DPS cooldowns.

A large part of our problem was ppl dying b/c they werent getting the mechanics and I am working on that (sometimes it is hard for people to press a button at a certain time . Even if no one died from that though i dont think we could have killed him before the enrage (the one attempt where we made it right to the enrage he was at 9 percent and the other good attempts he was around 20-30 percent with around 1:30 left.
There were two dps that we subbed in for a bit but here are character links to our 5 main dps people.
Feral druid:
Hunter (who was one of our lowest dps from my main 5 dps)
Warrior (he dpsed for the first half of the night and tanked for the second half) http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...oloud/advanced
Also guardians can be used in this time and knowing that ALL internal cooldowns are up they can be used with things like power torrent or land slide or rune of the fallen crusader to maximize their usage.
Unless by later in the fight you mean 5 to 8 seconds in. Then we are agreeing.
Also I'm seeing some of raiders with unenchanted gear, and some of their reforging are wrong. Have all of your raiders done their homework?

Actually no they all haven't done their homework and I have put them on notice.
Thanks for all the replies.

We found it better to use bloodlust late in the fight, not for the extra dps (which in general hardly differs no matter when you use bloodlust) but for the healers. The healing, while it can be covered by a single healer at the beginning of the fight, really needs to ramp up towards the end, and bloodlust at about 17 million life seemed to be the sweet-spot for us when we killed it the first time (although I must admit that the enrage timer was never really a concern of ours).
Fetzie, have your healers phase out when you are lusting. Then lust again the last phase.
We'll be trying that next week, that is something we would never have thought about.
I've always been under the impression that, in general, using Heroism (yes I'm Alliance) later in fights is better since most dps have talents that increases damage when the target is below 35% health. Unless it's specifically necessary to the fights gimmick, like on Domo where the opening of the fight is really the only chance to pew pew and not move, Hero is kind of a waste at the beginning.
Based on that log you had one attempt that hit the 6:05 hard wipe (first death was within 20 seconds of the end of the fight, most were alive until Twilight Eruption) and averaged 137,917 DPS which is close to 20,000 DPS short of killing the boss. One of DPS was beaten by the tank. No one's DPS was at the even the average level required for this fight, even your top DPS came up short of what should be "average".
DPS simply has to do better accross the board. No one is even at the average required. You're hunter did 61% of what the average should be. Your top two DPS were about 95% of what should be average.
In a group there will always be a spectrum of highest to lowest. Highest may be something like 15% above the average while the lowest may be something like 15% below the average. And the group composition as a whole managed to get by. It's easy to just point fingers at the hunter in this case and say they aren't carrying their weight. But in the same regard, in this case neither are your top players. While the hunter probably has the most room for improvement, all of them could improve.
This isn't a fight that is forgiving of mistakes, whether those mistakes involve dying to something that could be avoided or simply not doing your job well enough.

I found making my whole team macro the Heroic will button improved peoples dps as they where not wasting time clicking on it
And for that matter, even if they were to click on it... what exactly are they doing with their mouse this whole fight? I use my mouse to preplant Wild Mushrooms and to summon treants in the fight, that's it. DPS doesn't exactly need to use their mouse a whole lot on this fight since there isn't any movement and few classes have abilities that require a targeting reticle. It's actually your healers who are using their mouse the most. Most DPS classes could probably do this fight one handed.

"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
Your hunter's MM and for his gear his dps is really low, it might be his spec. I personally, find Survival an easier rotation than MM. Now I know MM is the uber raid spec, but if the dps isn't uber, it might be time to reconsider and move to Survival.
The rotation is really just Serpent Sting, Explosive Shot, Black Arrow, Corbra Shot until Explosive Shot comes back (you can use Arcane to bleed excess focus, but it really doesn't matter) then hopefully you get Lock'n Load procs. He may want to try it since he doesn't have to pay so much attention to focus bleeding as with MM.
In his gear, just mindless Cobra Shot - Explosive Shot and not worrying about focus bleeding will put him up to about 25k dps.
You are undergeared for what your raid may be capable of doing. As gear increases it compensates for lack of skill. All of them should be able to do better, whether or not they actually follow through on that though is up to them individually. You will require a lot more gear to be able to kill the boss if you continue to perform like this. If you improve your performance, then you need less gear. The gear you have should be sufficient to kill the boss.
Bottom line...
Your healers kept the raid alive all the way to the instant wipe at 6:05. They did their part.
Your tanks survived the whole fight and combined they came out to do about as much DPS as a DPS. They did their part.
The boss didn't die. Tanks did their part and healers did their part. You can't really ask for more out of either of them.

I will disagree with the above, a warrior tank should be able to put more than 10k dps on this fight due to HR, especially with t12 2p. And tell him to spec into Incite, Cruelty and Deep Wounds.

$3 million bond for man charged in fatal shooting of woman in North Chicago
BY BETH KRAMER Sun-Times Media email@example.com February 20, 2013 7:49AM
Janay McFarlane, 18, was killed late Friday just hours after her younger sister was among a group of teens who were onstage as President Barack Obama gave a speech in Chicago on violence.
Updated: March 22, 2013 10:23AM
Bond was set at $3 million for a North Chicago man charged in connection with the death of a young woman gunned down Feb. 15 just hours after her sister attended an event where President Barack Obama delivered an address against violence.
Jim McPherson, 21, was charged with first-degree murder, armed violence, unlawful use of a weapon in the death of Janay McFarlane, 18. He also was charged with possession of a controlled substance.
McFarlane's mother, who is now helping raise her daughter's 4-month-old son, said the arrest and charges bring limited solace.
"It's somewhat of a relief but it's still painful because it's never going to bring my daughter back," Angela Blakely said. "I'm glad they caught the [alleged] perpetrator as quickly as they did because some people never find who would do this kind of thing to their child or loved one. My daughter did not deserve to die like this."
Blakely said she doesn't know the man charged in her daughter's death and said her daughter didn't either.
Lake County State's Attorney Mike Nerheim said McFarlane came from Chicago to visit two friends Friday. She and her friends decided to walk to John's Liquor Store and the Mini Mart, located at 1000 14th St., North Chicago. McPherson was inside the store.
The suspect "was staring at them and appeared to be staring them down," said Nerheim, adding McFarlane and her friends left the store and took an alley to walk to a home a couple of blocks away.
McPherson left the liquor store and got into a car driven by his brother. He had his brother drop him off at the intersection of 13th and Victoria streets, which is where witnesses reported hearing shots, Nerheim said.
McFarlane was found with a gunshot wound to the head in an alley in the 1300 block of Jackson Street. She died at the scene, Nerheim said.
"One witness observed the defendant running away [from the alley]," Nerheim said.
McPherson went back to his brother's vehicle, where he was "out of breath" and said more than once "let's get out of here," Nerheim said.
North Chicago Police executed a search warrant at his brother's North Chicago residence where they found clothing matching witnesses's descriptions. A search warrant at McPherson's residence yielded three guns and scales baggies, which tested positive for cocaine, Nerheim said.
Judge Raymond Collins granted Nerheim's $3 million bond request.
McPherson is in custody at the Lake County Jail.
He had eight prior arrests, including assault, drugs and battery, according to Nerheim and court records.
Officials said another person was being questioned in the murder.
McFarlane's parents were present at McPherson's bond hearing. Last Friday, McFarlane's sister, Destini, 14, sat just feet away from Obama as he spoke last week at Hyde Park Career Academy in Chicago about the violence plaguing the nation.
The victim's father, Herb McFarlane of Beach Park, who spoke at a news conference in North Chicago, thanked Nerheim, Mayor Leon Rockingham and CeaseFire, a violence prevention group that has been working to prevent retaliation for his daughter's death.

Stanley Elongnak Klengenberg
Canadian, 1964–1999
Cold and Hungry, c. 1985
charcoal on paper
58.5 x 48 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from The Winnipeg Art Gallery Foundation Inc., the Estate of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Naylor, funds administered through The Winnipeg Foundation, and the Volunteer Committee to the Winnipeg Art Gallery
Stanley Klengenberg represents the third generation of an artistic family from the community of Holman in the western Arctic. He was the grandson of Victor Ekootak, one of the pioneers of the Holman print program, and the son of Elsie and Patrick Akovak Klengenberg. By the mid-1980s, Klengenberg was one of the most promising graphic artists in Holman. His life was cut short by his tragic suicide in 1999. This is the artist's best-known print, stencilled by his mother Elsie Klengenberg from an expressive, charcoal drawing. This dark, unromanticized image of a man with a gaunt, starved face is one of the most haunting works to be created by an artist in Holman.

Volkswagen incites negative buzz by including 'vibrator' in new print ad [w/video]
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Sep 12th, 2012 at 10:29AM
Volkswagen isn't afraid to do ads that are a little different... or even a lot different; this is no secret, nor is it new. An ad in various national papers in India, though, including the Times of India, might have gone a black box too far in search of a buzz-worthy response. First, some context: two years ago VW ran a national, full-page ad in India for its Vento sedan, and attached to the ad was a little black plastic box. A light sensor in the box detected when the ad page was opened and a pre-recorded message began saying good things about the Vento. The voice stopped talking when the... Read More

UPDATE: Thursday - 2/21/2013, 3:49pm ET
WASHINGTON - A Mt. Airy grandmother of two, who wishes to remain anonymous, has claimed the $26 million Mega Millions jackpot.
"I am still in denial," the woman says in Maryland Lottery news release. "I even drove by the store the next day to see if it was real. One look at the parking lot with all the news vans and I knew it was true."
The 48-year-old retiree says she plans to buy a beach house.
To win the jackpot, she matched all five numbers, plus the Mega Ball. She will take home $12.6 million after taxes.
She purchased the ticket at Mt. Airy Shell in the 600 block of Lakeview Drive. The retailer will receive a $26,000 commission.
The Maryland Lottery says this is the first Mega Millions jackpot win in Maryland since three public education employees shared the $218.6 million portion of the record-breaking $656 million jackpot from March 2012.
EARLIER: Wednesday - 2/20/2013, 9:50am ET
MOUNT AIRY, Md. -- The Maryland Lottery says a winning Mega Millions ticket worth $26 million was sold at a gas station in Mount Airy.
Lottery officials say they haven't heard from a winner yet.
The winning numbers from Tuesday night's drawing were 1, 15, 19, 30 and 56, with a Mega Ball of 28.
The annuity jackpot is $26 million, and the cash option is $19 million. There was only one winning ticket sold, and it was purchased at a Shell station on Lakeview Drive in Mount Airy.

California Teachers Divest Pension Fund from Assault Weapons
Immediately after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December, managers for the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) began divesting from companies that make and sell assault weapons.
CalSTRS, the retirement system for more than 800,000 California teachers, is the nation's second-largest public pension fund. It has about $750 million invested with the private equity company Cerberus Capital Management. Cerberus owns the Freedom Group, which makes the Bushmaster M4A3 semi-automatic rifle used at Sandy Hook. When media reports began drawing attention to the origins of that weapon, investment staff at CalSTRS decided the fund could not support the Freedom Group.
California Treasurer Bill Lockyer called Cerberus managers to inform them of the CalSTRS decision. Within hours, the company announced that it would sell the Freedom Group, explaining in a press release that the decision "allows us to meet our obligations to the investors ... without being drawn into the national [gun control] debate."
It is illegal to purchase or possess assault weapons, including semi-automatic rifles, in California. High-capacity ammunition magazines, like the one used last summer in the mass shooting in Aurora, Colo., are also banned.
Lockyer wants both CalSTRS and CalPERS, the California Public Employees' Retirement System, to divest from companies that make or sell firearms that are illegal in California, according to Tom Dresslar, spokesman for the State Treasurer's office.
"The Treasurer hopes that other public pensions will follow California's lead," Dresslar said. "This is obviously not just a California issue. It's a national issue."
The California Teachers' Association, the teachers' union, supports divestment. Union Legislative Advocate Jennifer Baker told the CalSTRS investment committee: "We do not want CalSTRS investments to be in conflict with our shared values of protecting human life, particularly those that our members serve, our children."

While the price was a bit high for the quality of the tulle skirt, the overall look acheived when combined with the pink velvet cover and crown was truly PRICELESS! It was absolutely adorable! I steamed it to get out the wrinkles from shipping. It stayed securely stuck to the high chair tray. I am glad that I purchased this item.

How did your parents meet?
Hi Everyone,
I am always interested in this subject as I am a hopeless romantic.
My mother was here in the United States from Ireland for a short time and working in the Bakery in the North End of town.
Alot of her friends were Polish and asked her to come with them one night to the Polish Club. My Dad was there with his
mother (yes! that's right!) and he spotted her and turned to her and said "Do you see that girl over there with the white
skin? I am going to marry her". They met several times at the Club and he offered to drive her and a few of her friends home
so she made sure she was the first one out and gave him a wrong address but walking distance from her apartment. And
that was the beginning.....
Do you have a story you would like to share? People meet in the darndest places. I can't wait to hear your parents story!

Heritage Festival leads active weekend schedule
The annual Heritage Festival will lead a full card of activities around town this weekend. The popular festival will be held at Swiss Heritage Village and Museum from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $3 for adults and $1 for students kindergarten through senior year.
Also on Saturday, a Litfest, held at the Swiss Clock Tower from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., will showcase writing talents of local writers. Various speeches will be given reflecting the talents of local writers. During the same time, Das Marit Market will be providing opportunities for vendors to sell local vegetables and fruit as well as local crafts. At that time, Agape Respite will be selling chicken dinners in the Mennonite Church parking lot.
One of the new activities at this year's Heritage Festival will be Swiss-German lessons taught by Debby Neuenschwander.
"I'm excited about people having the opportunity to experience our heritage language," said Neuenschwander. "It's not just the language, the whole experience gives the opportunity to get a deep feel for our heritage and culture, as well as the native language."
Other new activities this year will include Native American crafts, kettle corn demonstration, a Native American and tomahawk thrower.
Returning favorites include the animal farm, chicken noodle soup, ham and bean soup, Pumpkin Kingdom, and cider slushies. At 3 p.m., will be the big squeeze from the large cider press.
"I'm excited about the chance to impact with a little bit of Swiss German to these kids," said Neuenschwander. "To open up another language is always an exciting thing.
"It is the Germans who built the cabin in the woods," continued Neuenschwander. "It was the language spoken in the cabin. There is an exchange student who is German who is going to be a part of all of this."
Sara Stauffer, who played a major role in planning this year's festival, likes the wide spectrum of activities, educational experiences and demonstrations.
"This is a great opportunity to give students a feel for this," said Stauffer.
Entertainment at this year's event will include the Harmony String Band, Asbury Bells, Civil War musical group, and Jay County Community Band. Food will be provided by Hoosier Que Daddy, Boy Scout Troup 67 of Berne, Stutzman's homemade ice cream and Pumpkin Kingdom.
The annual Education Day is being held today. Students from several school districts will include nearly 1,700 students from six counties in Indiana and two in Ohio.
As always, the annual Education Day provides students first-hand knowledge of our cultural heritage by promoting learning through discovery as they tour historic buildings and play games enjoyed by their ancestors.
"Everything we do on Friday will be hands on to help students have an enjoyable experience of feeling what things were like," said Stauffer. "As they have an actual experience with the times, connections are made.
"They've been told about things, what things used to be like. They get a different perspective of what things used to be like," said Stauffer.

|~Here you'll find Health and P.E. resources to address relevant issues of teens today~
I have my Master's of Education Degree in "Instructional Technology." I also received my National Board Certification in Health in Dec. 2009. I've been a K-12 Physical Education teacher for over 30 years and been certified and teaching Health for over 20 years. I'm also certified in Language Arts. Over the years I've taught junior high P.E. and Reading, Elementary P.E., 9th Grade English, 9th Grade P.E., Aerobics, and 9th Grade Health. I've been at my current job - high school 9th Grade Health - for 18 years.
The purpose of each of my health units was inspired by an awesome website called "Above the Influence." (google it and check it out!). I used these themes: 1. ABOVE THE CROWD (pressure to fit in) 2. ABOVE THE STRESS (pressure to relieve stress in harmful ways) 3. ABOVE THE INFLUENCE (pressure to use drugs) 4. ABOVE THE PRESSURE (pressure to be sexually active) 5. ABOVE THE HYPE (pressure to be perfect) 6. ABOVE THE CONTROL (pressure to judge, bully, hate, 7. ABOVE THE CONTROL PART II (Pressure to have unhealthy nutritional habits) 8. ABOVE THE PRESSURE (pressure to make dangerous decisions) 9. ABOVE THE PAST-(overcoming childhood hardships) My curriculum was designed to help teens grow in the confidence to say "I will" to the healthy choice, even in the face of extreme pressures and challenges. It was created to help teens build their self-esteem and embrace the realization that they each have the power to engineer just who they want to be.

I just wanted to say to all of my fellow North Eastern US residents/New Englanders to stay safe! I will be praying this crazy storm makes it through without taking anyone's life. I'm in CT and the path has changed way too often and I just have no idea what to expect. I'm as prepared as I think I can be, but I won't do well without power...just saying. (Note - this morning when were at my parents in PA, they lost power because someone hit a poll and took out power for several miles. I was having an internal meltdown and was happy when the power came back on after just 4 hours so I could shower and head back home!)
Hope to see you all online tomorrow!

Ashley's teenage rebellion has gone too far. Rejecting her parent's strong Christian church life, Ashley is a chronic runaway and methamphetamine addict. Her actions are more than at odds with her parent's values, but are a course that make them worry for her safety.
- Ashley, 20, is a meth addict.
- Rejecting her family's church life, she runs away often.
- Will she accept an intervention or use it as another opportunity to escape?
Ashley is the wild child of the family. Her parents and younger sister are very active in the Christian church community of Seattle. However, Ashley's teenage rebellion is taking on a new light at the age of 20. A chronic runaway and methamphetamine addict, her actions are clearly more than "just a phase".
The more her parents have attempted guidance, the more Ashley has turned to drugs. Now, with intervention as their last hope, there is the danger that Ashley will only attempt to run away again. Will Ashley recognize this act of love? The qualified professionals of INTERVENTION oversee the process to help Ashley recognize her parent's good intentions.
