Could Connecticut's high park fees keep tourists away? Maybe that new ad campaign can help.
If you're an out-of-state tourist visiting Connecticut and feel like catching some sun at our Hammonasset State Park beach on a summer Saturday, it's gonna set you back a tidy $22. (That's $9 more than a Connecticut resident will pay.)
The only state in New England where you'd get hit with a higher fee for a single weekend day visit to a state park would be in Rhode Island, where a non-resident would have to cough up $28. Even New York's fees are lower than ours.
But hey, it could be worse. Just a few years back, the legislature was so hungry for cash that it doubled all state park fees. The outrage that generated forced lawmakers to scale back the increase, so Connecticut park fees are now only 33 percent higher than they were five years ago.
"Yes, generally speaking, our park fees may be higher than many of our surrounding states," agrees Dennis Schain, spokesman for the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
In New Hampshire, a state beach park parking fee is $15 for in-state and out-of-state folks alike. New York's Orient Beach State Park on Long Island charges $8 or $10 per car per day depending on whether it's a weekday or weekend. In Massachusetts, the top state park entrance fee is $7 no matter where you're from.
All of which raises a question, now that Connecticut's launched its $27 million campaign to lure tourists here, about whether state parks here are at a competitive disadvantage compared to most of the states around us.
Eric Hammerling, executive director of the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, believes that this state's park tourism would have been in serious trouble if the plan to double all park fees had gone through.
"We were one of the many groups concerned that we were pricing ourselves out of competition with other states," Hammerling says. He says it also seemed "counterintuitive" to raise fees so high in the middle of a recession that Connecticut residents might not bother going to the parks.
With the scaled-back fee system, Hammerling argues that Connecticut's parks can compete because they are "pretty special places."
"We can say [to outsiders] that it's worth the trip," Hammerling adds.
Schain says his agency's officials "believe the parks are a great value, scenic and well maintained, and remain convenient destinations offering a wide variety of attractions and amenities."
While that may sound like something directly out of a state travel brochure, it is true Connecticut parks are pretty popular. About two million people a year visit Hammonasset, Connecticut's most popular park, and the annual total for all of our state parks is approximately eight million, according to Schain.
There is one thing about those park fee increases that still bothers activists like Hammerling: none of the extra money is being dedicated to maintaining or improving state parks and forests.
State lawmakers boosted the park fees because they were desperate for money to help solve a fiscal crisis, which meant all that money went into the state's general fund budget. Before 2009, all the money paid in entrance and parking fees was directed toward keeping those parks up and improving them.
"We're certainly concerned that, despite the fee increase, we're not seeing an increase in investment in the parks," he says.
Schain acknowledges there is "not necessarily a direct correlation" now between the money people pay at park gates and the money spent on the parks. But he says lawmakers and the governor "did maintain funding levels" for the parks and state forests.
Despite that little park funding problem, Hammerling doesn't think the state is wrong for spending that $27 million on an ad campaign to promote tourism and economic development.
"Having a marketing campaign for Connecticut is very important," he says. "It's about time we made that level of investment."
And maybe all those expensive ads will help overcome any reluctance a tourist might feel about paying our jumped-up fees.

A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

One of the major concerns for parents nowadays centres on their child's use of the internet and mobile phones. It's easy to get caught up in the cyber safety and cyber security space and concentrate merely on those issues involving technology. The reality is, however, that the influences on children and young people come from all different areas and we need to take a holistic approach to their safety and wellbeing. Often, cyberbullying and sexting are the most visible of a range of issues as they leave behind some digital trace, but they may coexist with other crucial concerns. In our second-last issue of the year, we're going to look at some of the other influences on children and young people.

About Us
Under the Marine Life Protection Act, California is establishing a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) to protect marine life, habitat, and ecosystems; it's essential that everyone with a stake in the future of these vital resources knows if the MPAs are working as intended.
The MPA Monitoring Enterprise was launched in 2007 as a program of the California Ocean Science Trust to lead the development and implementation of impartial, scientifically rigorous and cost-effective MPA monitoring.
Bridging the divide between science and management, we provide a unique combination of science and policy expertise to develop and test a realistic way to take the pulse of ocean ecosystems and evaluate the performance of the emerging statewide network of MPAs.
The Monitoring Enterprise does not advocate for or against the implementation of MPAs, but rather ensures that policymakers, resource managers, and the public have impartial, timely and useful information to support MPA management decisions.

Citi Trends Announces Elimination Of 40 Positions And Slows New Store Opening Plans
Citi Trends, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTRN) today announced the elimination of 40 positions in its corporate offices, distribution centers and store organization. The Company also announced that it would pull back on its new store opening plans, only opening stores for which it has already made commitments. This will result in approximately 55 new store additions for 2011 and approximately five for 2012.
David Alexander, President and Chief Executive Officer of Citi Trends, stated, "The decision to downsize was a very difficult one. The individuals who are being affected today have made valuable contributions to our company and they will be missed. We appreciate what each one of them has done for Citi Trends and wish them the very best in the future. Over the past few months we have undertaken many important initiatives to turn around our business. We believe the two steps taken today help ensure our success through a very challenging economy. Despite the difficult environment in which we are currently operating, we continue to be very optimistic about the Company's future. We have a great niche, a great customer relationship and a very strong balance sheet with approximately $70 million of cash and investments and no debt."
The Company expects the staff reductions to result in approximately $3.5 million in annualized savings, while incurring an approximate $800,000 severance charge in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

Raytheon BBN Technologies Awarded National Medal Of Technology And Innovation In White House Ceremony
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon BBN Technologies has been awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation for "sustained innovation through the engineering of first-of-a kind, practical systems in acoustics, signal processing, and information technology."

Alexis Bellino, a core cast member of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," issued a statement today saying she's leaving the Bravo reality TV series.
Bellino, 35, told People.com on Monday that she won't be a part of season 8. She verified the info on her official Facebook page. Season 7 concluded in June, or July if you count the two reunion episodes.
"After three seasons of appearing on 'The Real Housewives of Orange County,' I have made the difficult decision not to return for season 8," she said in her statement. "Although Bravo made me a very generous offer and I'm thankful to have had this experience, I will be leaving the show behind to focus on my family and other opportunities."
During her three seasons on the show, Bellino started a clothing line called Alexis Couture, and was the victim of a Housewives bully session, or "intervention" designed to let her know how pretentious she was.
Bellino could not be reached Monday for comment. A Bravo spokeswoman said the cable network has no comment about Bellino's departure.
"I am so grateful to have gone through this amazing journey and to have met so many incredible fans," she said in her statement to People.com. "My heart is at peace and I remain so excited for my future."
While Bravo has not made an official statement regarding season 8, it is expected to premiere next year.

Natural resources are the foundation for our lives and lifestyles.
What would our lives be like without mining? Imagine a world without transportation such as jet planes or railroads, without communications such as cell phones or radar, without decorative items such as art or jewelry, without buildings such as skyscrapers or parking garages, without defense systems items such as missiles or submarines, without medical care items such as X-rays or surgical tools. We wouldn't have any of these things without mining and minerals.
Iodine is a shiny blue-black solid element. Its atomic number is 53 and it is grouped with other elements that, together, are called the halogens, although iodine is the least reactive of the elements in this group. The French scientist Bernard Courtois discovered it in 1811 when he treated seaweed ash with sulfuric acid.
When iodine is heated, it sublimates, that is, it goes from a solid to a vapor without going through the liquid phase.
Iodine is essential to many life forms, including humans, and is found in thyroid hormones. A lack of iodine in the body will result in a condition known as a goiter where the thyroid gland in the neck becomes enlarged. In order to assure an adequate amount of iodine in the diet, table salt is iodized. This approach has greatly reduced the incidence of goiter since so many people regularly use table salt.
Iodine was named from the Greek word iodes which means violet in reference to its color.
Sources:Iodine is primarily retrieved from underground brines (water with many dissolved salts and ions) that are associated with natural gas and oil deposits. It is also retrieved as a by-product with nitrate deposits in caliche deposits. Chile's production of iodine is from this source. Seawater contains 0.05 ppm (parts per million) iodine which means that there are approximately 76 billion pounds of iodine in the world's oceans. Iodine was first discovered in seaweed. Dried seaweeds, particularly those of the Liminaria family, contain as much as 0.45% iodine. Seaweed was a major source of iodine before 1959. Seaweed is a significant source for iodine in the diets of many people around the world. Production from caliche is presently the most economical of the options listed here. Chile is the world's leading iodine producing nation. Japan is second. Russia also produces significant amounts of elemental iodine.
Iodine is used in a number of chemical and biological applications. Silver iodide is used in photography. Iodide is used as a disinfectant. Iodine compounds are used as a catalyst. It is used as a supplement in animal feeds. Potassium iodine is included in table salt as a simple way to assure adequate iodine in the human diet. It is also used to make inks and colorants.
Substitutes and Alternative Sources:
For many of iodine's uses, there is no adequate substitute. For example, other substances cannot replace its applications in pharmaceuticals, and human and animal nutrition. There are some chemical applications for iodine that can be accomplished using other chemicals. For example, bromine and chlorine can be used in place of iodine for ink and colorant purposes, and for disinfectant purposes.

text: The typical day of a person went to a skating rink for practice, legs came too early, when neither her friends, no coach has ever had. She's the one at the skating rink and enough she decided to have a little photographed for their own album. First, it was just a nice series of photos in various poses, but, probably at her impact of total lack of people and she decided to go a bit further the generally accepted norms and first kicked off her blouse, then panty hose, and then decided not to stop and stripped down completely. It would be a great sex porn pics of a figure skater ! Probably cold and nakedness her so excited and amused that she just came in ecstasy and began to do unimaginable things. The girl just lost control over themselves in a sexual impulse. Naked she is taking so indecent postures that and imagine the difficult and excellent stretching, and a great preparation her just and useful. However looking for free porn pics of a figure skater begs the question, not cold if she sits down his lovely попочкой on the cold ice? But, it seems no, she is really, really like. In the cold of the ice she stretched in the chest, kneeling on all fours and handles dissolves ass showing nice buttocks. deeply, she heard the voices of people approaching, perhaps it was her friend and coach and bringing all things quickly hide in order to get dressed and run home. Today it is certainly not to exercise!

Every year ends with plans of resolutions for the next. What are mine for 2012, I began to contemplate last night. Here's the list, some old friends and some new ones. Putting them down here, so I am accountable (in the season of the Lokpal Bill, this is the least I can do!)
#1 Lose weight, be fitter: Ok, so this has been first on my list every year for the past 15 years, irrespective of how fat or fatter I have been! I'm going to be loyal and keep it there! This year, my fitness focus has shifted a little. I'm targeting a modest 5-7 kgs of weight loss in the whole year, but hoping to build stamina and muscle tone. I guess its a post-35 thing, this shift to overall fitness since you're almost giving up on looking 'thin' by now!!
#2 Blog everyday: I am resisting starting another blog. Everything I think seems to be inter-related in some way. But am inspired by Project 365 where people blog everyday for a year about something specific. My blog will continue to be about my/our lives, set in the cities we live in…still contemplating if 1-I can do it and 2-Will it be overkill for those who read it? Photoblogs and such are easier to browse. And yes, the entries need to be way shorter!
#3 Work on my arts side: I started learning Kathak for the first time this year. I also re-joined Hindustani vocal classes. Have to take both of these to the next level this year, partly because the only way to improve (or simply not give up!) is to set challenges. Also because I'm convinced that the arts are what will keep me grounded, emotionally fulfilled and sane in the years to come. I also want to listen to a variety of music and watch loads of performances in dance, theatre, puppetry, etc- all in the name of stimulation!
#4 Be more adventurous about work: I see 2012 as my year of pushing the boundaires in terms of type of work, skills applies, knowledge gained and contacts made in the profession. Low income housing within housing/planning is a specific area that falls vaguely between design, finance, community work and policy advocacy. Need to explore all these. Also looking to explore teaching…fingers crossed on how to manage this without over-committing my time and compromising on home, hobbies, etc.
#5 Read 3 books a month: A non-fiction (biography, history, science), a pacy fiction and a re-read maybe. Haven't thought this through really and my reading appetite fluctuates, so the math may turn out different here!
#6 Be more patient, creative with people, relationships: Now start the tougher resolutions. This one is about working on all the significant relationships in my life (husband, children, mother, mother-in-law, workmates, friends, others) and infuse them with creativity, love and lots of calm. Its ok to express negative attitudes like anger, frustration and impatience as long as there is a civilized, non-hurtful way of doing it. Am done with hurting people as a form of twisted self-satisfaction, that soon turns to guilt and self-criticism….not the kind of fun I want have this year!
#7 Be more adventurous, carve my space: I've always wanted to do exciting things, but my risk appetite is low to moderate. So this is the year I must experiment. Try and take all my urges one step forward. That would include travel, making friends, pursuing hobbies, being on my own, the last of which needs tremendous powers like thwarting family-time, appearing to be callous and leaving kids under someone else's care, etc. This business of reclaiming my space and unsheathing the "me" from the layered being that I have become is, in my mind, the biggest challenge and adventure of all. If I achieve a bit of this, all the resolutions before would be automatically ticked done!
Do write in to tell me what goals are on your mind for 2012!

The 9 Worst Pieces of Longevity Advice
Learn which tips to dismiss so you can really live longer
By Anne Roderique-Jones
3. Lower your body mass index (BMI).
According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, weighing a little more can lengthen your life span. Adults with a BMI that qualified them as overweight but not obese (thats between 25 and 29.9) were 6% less likely than all others in their age groups to die. While BMI isnt always an accurate measurement of a persons health risks, registered dietitian Jen Brewer, author of Stop Dieting and Start Losing Weight, says if the extra weight comes from muscle mass, youre more likely to have lower cholesterol levels and a better ratio of HDL (good cholesterol) to LDL (bad cholesterol). It may also lower your risk for life-threatening heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. And that's good for staying alive.

When someone is giving you head and decides to bite the tip of your penis off resulting in you cumming for 20 minutes than later your penis drys out and you may no longer use it again.
Last night's nipping was amazing
by the nipper February 07, 2011
When getting head from a woman, right before the man climaxes, she bites his dick, completely cutting off the head. The man then cums, and because he is missing the head of his dick, he cums and can't stop. He continues to cum until his balls are completely dry, and he dies from the sexual pleasure.
Sally and Dale decided to do something that they heard their friends talking about called "nipping"

The act of going out and hanging with the nips (syn: nick's bitches), with the possibility of "mad sex"* following the going out.

Thong Thursday!!
I decided to do Thong Thursday on my blog since twitpic.com took my pictures down, and I don't really understand why cause I've seen plenty of nude pic's on that site. I just hope blogger won't take my stuff down either. I really need to get a blog that is run from my site so I don't run into this problem. So I will try and post all the old #thongthursday pic's here and continue to post them until blogger takes them down. Plus why drive traffic to a site that isn't supporting me or helping my career out? Time to drive the traffic to my projects : ) Enjoy #thongthursday!!

Drinking Game #NekNominate Goes Viral on Social Media
From reading updates from friends and family to watching cute cat videos, Americans spend on average over 3 hours a day on social media. And that's why a dangerous new meme is causing such a stir. The drinking game "NekNominate" is sweeping Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and other social media outlets throughout Australia, the U.K., and […]Read more


text: Despite the band's ongoing tumult -- which included Doherty's arrest for allegedly assaulting and blackmailing documentarian Max Carlish (these charges were dropped that spring) -- Babyshambles began work on their first album. Teaming up with former Libertines producer Mick Jones, the band worked on the album through the spring and summer of 2005 and released the single Fuck Forever that August as a teaser for the full-length. Down in Albion was released in the U.K. that fall and Babyshambles toured in support of it, although the band canceled almost as many gigs as it actually performed. Doherty's wild behavior continued and his numerous run-ins with the law, which included being held on suspicion of stealing a car and possession of class A drugs in early 2006, and being arrested three times in one day, made Babyshambles' existence as perilous as ever. Down in Albion was released in the U.S. that spring. The Blinding EP arrived in fall 2006. Shotter's Nation, Babyshambles' first full-length for EMI/Parlophone, arrived the following fall, boasting more polished production and focused songwriting. After a slightly shambolic European tour -- with cancelled dates due to Doherty's imprisonment -- in support of Shotter's Nation, Doherty went on to release a solo album -- 2009's Grace/Wastelands -- and kickstart an acting career. With the band in limbo, drummer Adam Ficek departed to focus on his own project, Roses Kings Castles, with former Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey stepping in to fill his space. In early 2013, Babyshambles returned to the studio with Stephen Street to record their third album. Recruiting Stereophonics drummer Jamie Morrison to fill the empty drum stool, the band released their third studio album, Sequel to the Prequel, in September 2013. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

Senate debates Strongĺs role IN ĹUNITEĺ PLAN
Published: October 3 2012
President Nate Strongĺs ôUnite: A Fight to Stop Human Traffickingö proposal passed on Mondayĺs Senate meeting ľ but not without some controversy.
After 45 minutes of debate, a majority of the senators at the meeting approved a proposal to create an ad hoc committee to inform students about how to end human trafficking.
Strong said Seattle is the number-one city for human trafficking in the United States and wants to make it a goal this year for both ASSP and the university to stop it.
Everyone at Senate agreed this was a worthy cause, but disputed the need to create a special ad hoc Presidential Action Council with Strong as the co-chair.
ôWhy do you need us?ö asked Jacob Redding, Vice President of Finance, referring to why a senate-sponsored committee was needed for his ôUniteö plan.
ôI donĺt think itĺs right for us to continue without making sure the governing body of the university is on board,ö said Strong. ôAs long as I donĺt have the backing of Senate then I donĺt feel like I can say it completely.ö
ôIĺm bringing it into Senateĺs hands to say Ĺyes this is what weĺre focusing on this year,ĺö Strong said.
Strong said that President Action Councilĺs (PACĺs) arenĺt normally used, but was necessary in this case because he wants his ôUniteö plan to be a school-wide goal.
Strong has already created the council, but wanted senate to approve it as an ad hoc committee.
The ASSP president has the ability to create a PAC under Article 1, Section 5 of the constitution and by-laws of ASSP, and Senate has the ability to create an ad hoc, which would allow the committee to carry out a task for senate.
ô[The by-laws for a PAC are] written so vaguely it wouldnĺt necessarily say it canĺt be done, but there does need to be a very specific movement to an ad hoc committee,ö said junior Jake Caouette, Chief Justice of Constitutional Advisory Board.
Redding asked Strong if junior Toms Lee, vice president of campus activities, or Urban Involvement could work on ôUnite: A Fight to Stop Human Trafficking,ö instead of a PAC or an ad hoc.
Senior Emmanuel Mancilla, vice president for intercultural affairs asked Strong what his plan was for ôUniteö after he left Seattle Pacific University.
ôI would love to see this go into a piece of our constitution under the president,ö Strong said. ô(We could gather) around an issue that isnĺt surrounded by ourselves.ö
Senator Courtney Oostra asked Strong for the specific goals of the ad hoc council.
ô[Weĺre] not asking for money yet,ö Strong said. ôNot all the money is coming from ASSP.ö
ô [Weĺre going] quarter by quarter: educating, engaging, action,ö Strong said.
Strong said his proposal for an ad hoc council was not a financial request.
Breegan Harper is set to co-chair with Strong in the ad hoc PAC hybrid.

Who Will Die on NCIS: Los Angeles?!by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Hope you're sitting down for this one.
The NCIS: Los Angeles Season 3 finale in May will feature the demise of someone we know well.
Seriously, "Someone's gonna die that we know well," executive producer Shane Brennan said.
Gulp. The rest of his quote to TV Line about the upcoming arc teased that, "I've got the target, I'm just choosing which missile to fire. And there's a character or two coming back to tie some things up."
Which missile to fire? This sounds like no joke. The question is who it hits.
As we've seen on both NCIS and NCIS: LA, which dispatched one of its core cast members in the first season, the characters serve the overall show, not the other way around. Brennan really will go there.
It's unclear if the victim will be a core cast member in this case, though. Someone "we know well" leaves the door open for it to be a (somewhat) extraneous, ancillary character (Lauren Hunter for example).
Peter Cambor's Nate, who was initially a series regular but quasi-left the show to partake in covert ops, is another good possibility. Still, it makes you wonder if there's a surprise much bigger than that in store.
Perhaps the most devastating loss would be Linda Hunt's Hetty Lange, who's cheated death a few times already this season. We really, really hope it's not true, but it certainly would rock the team to its core.
Who do you think dies in the NCIS: LA finale? Share your comments below.
In other NCIS: Los Angeles news, there is a major Kensi-centric double episode coming up titled "Blye, K." That arc, Brennan says, goes to the very heart of why the character played by Daniela Ruah joined NCIS.
It also sets the stage for the NCIS: LA and Hawaii Five-O crossover during May sweeps. The show is looking for a late 40s actress to play the estranged mother of a female character ... gotta be Kensi, right?

I've loved NCIS LA since the very first episode. Since the introduction of Deeks, the series has got even better. The dynamic between the various partnerships is key to what makes this show great and what gives it an identity distinct from that of the original NCIS. To remove one of the main constituents of these partnerships would greatly disrupt the perfect balance the show has. I hope beyond hope that neither Sam , Callen, Kensi , Deeks, Nell , Eric or Hetty are killed off as this would seriously damage the identity of the show. My vote would be for Hunter , Renko, Rose or even Arkady Love the show, please don't do anything that could undermine what makes it such a great watch.
Well, it was just basically confirmed by Shane Brennan that Nate will be back for more after this season. I seem to recall in an interview early this season that he said he had "long term plans" for Lauren Hunter. I'm starting to think it could be her. While we know Mike Renko, I'm not sure if we know him really well. I wish they'd bring him back. With all his LAPD contacts, I've always wondered if he knows Deeks. Maybe he could talk some sense into him and get him to sign those papers!
I don't want anyone to be killed off. They are all vital to the show..Just love Deeks and Callan.........
I've been watching NCIS:Los Angeles since it came on. I love the show. On the issue of someome dying, it shouldn't be Kensi, Deeks, G, Sam, or Hetty. Take any of them off and it ruins the show, especially for those, like me, who want to see Kensi and Deeks together. I like Nate. Maybe Lauren. An even better person is Granger. He's not well-liked.
please don't let anything happen to Sam, G, Deicks, or Heddy,or Kensiy, let it be that jerk the assistant director. These guys all work well together as a team.
Honestly I think it will be Deeks. Hes not a reall NCIS agent, hes still with LAPD. But maybe not. Honestly, I don't care as long as its not, Sam, Callen, or Kensi. Then I'll have issues. I'm really hopeing they'll bring back Nate. He was my favorite and the whole reason I really watched the show. But it seems like NCIS: LA is turning into CSI:Miami or even Criminal Minds where it kills of all the good characters.Way to ruin a great show. Just saying!
@Cote! Never thought of that! I have seen that on CSI Miami and when Emily came back on Criminal Minds!(and they even had a funeral and everything!)
Nooooo!!! I like them all! I sure hope it's not somebody in the very main 4 characters plus Heddi plus Eric or Nell! Besides them...maybe I wouldn't be as upset! Maybe Nate? We never see him that much but he is a regular!Or Leon; and then again... maybe Granger!!
I sure hope is not Kensi, but actually I like all of them. They have such a good team, I don't want any to go. Don't do to this show what you did to CIS, most of the originals are gone and the new people I don't like, even Elizabeth Shue. Now, I don't watch the show anymore.
Been rewatching season 1 on dvd and while watching, I realized there is someone no one has yet to bring up. If, and I do mean if we are to believe what we have been told b/c of things other posters have said (this doesnt mean you have lied. But you could just be repeating what TPTB want us to believe) Mike Renko could be said character that dies. It wouldn't be shocking nor that upsetting but they could have it as him and another main cast member about to be killed and bam gun shot goes off. And that made me think of something reallllly horrible. Does anyone know if we learn who said character that dies in the episode? Can we say cliff hanger? I love and hate those.

Children's books about War and Conflict
Posted on | March 24, 2011 | 11 Comments
A couple of weeks ago I reviewed the current exhibition at the Imperial War Museum London, Once Upon A Wartime: Classic War Stories for Children (part 1, part 2). The final section of the exhibition is dedicated to a library of books for children about war and conflict and I am now able to share with you the list of books chosen to be included in this library.
The staff at the Imperial War Museum compiled their list of books with the help of Dr Geoff Fox, co-author (with Kate Agnew) of Children at War, an authoritative guide to the literature for young readers concerning war in the twentieth century.
Books on the list include:
The full list can be found here (as a pdf document), on the Imperial War Museum website
Through posting my review of Once Upon a Wartime I was introduced to the work of Rosanne Parry, Suzanne Morgan Williams and Sarah Lewis Holmes, who have given panel talks on Military Families in Fiction. They have also compiled an in-depth list of resources under the heading "Connecting with Students from Military Families". Whilst focussed on US military families, this master list includes a number of literature based resources that might be useful and interesting for anyone studying or teaching (children's) books about war and conflict.

We've enjoyed all the Morpurgo books listed here. 'The best Christmas present in the world' was especially savoured. Brought home sharply to A the fact that after all, we are all human beings wanting the same things, even if we may be on opposite sides of a war. I hope the message has registered a bit, as she is at a stage where 'her' POV is the most important, and that gets her at loggerheads with her peers.
Judith Kerr- I've read 'When Hitler stole Pink Rabbit,' and was moved by it. Would love to read her other books.

I loved, still love Richmal Crompton's William books. I am not sure how historically accurate they are, but that doesn't matter to me at all. I love them in the same way I love Wodehouse – they make me laugh, and evoke an era I never knew.

Thanks for this great post, Zoe. I know I really appricate it. It is always nioe to have a little behind the scenes look at things. Thanks for the PDF list of books too. I went to see the NYC production of the play War Horse on Tuesday and will be writing about it soon. It was incredible. Have you seen it? I love Michael Morpurgo's work. I guess, so far, I love all the above authors.
Thanks for keeping me so well informed about what is happening on your side of the Atlantic.
March 24th, 2011 @ 12:51 pm
No, I haven't seen it – don't know if it's been to the city I live in (and even if it had since the kids have come along going to the theatre on my own hasn't happened once ) But would love to see War Horse.

Have you seen the BBC adaptation? http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2010/11_november/30/william.shtml Don't know if it's on DVD yet. Didn't get great reviews, but I really like the actor who plays William.
March 24th, 2011 @ 4:28 pm
So glad to see Michael Morpurgo's books listed here, these are a must read! When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit – my goodness, what a blast from the past, I adored that book as a child and I'd forgotten all about it! Thanks for sharing the list Zoe

Tusk Tusk by David McKee is a great book to discuss war and conflict with really small children. Eye of the Wolf by Daniel Pennac is also amazing- more for 8+, I'd say- but it is about displacement and internal conflict in an unnamed African country, and is absolutely beautiful.
March 24th, 2011 @ 4:46 pm
There is also Hitler's Canary – a fabulous book. And Morpurgo is up there of course!
March 24th, 2011 @ 4:46 pm
And you make me so jealous!
March 25th, 2011 @ 7:06 pm
Thanks Choxbox and Ali for your recommendations! More to add to the to-read pile!

Avoid Instrument Issues During Revamps
Reusing existing devices can save money but requires a thorough assessment.
• Check material compatibility of existing instruments against the new service and conditions.
• Use "risk registers" to record and escalate potential risks to project management and the end user.
• Involve all stakeholders when making the decision to reuse or replace existing instruments.
• Identify the requirement to perform PHA and SIL assessments if an existing instrument is replaced with one of a different size, type or operating principle.

Publication Abstract
Authors: Olszewski AJ, Shafqat H, Ali S
Title: Disparate survival outcomes after front-line chemoimmunotherapy in older patients with follicular, nodal marginal zone and small lymphocytic lymphoma.
Journal: Leuk Lymphoma :1-19
Date: 2014 Jun 23
Abstract: Abstract Using the SEER-Medicare data (1996-2010), we compared survival and toxicity outcomes in 6,993 patients older than 65 years with follicular (FL), nodal marginal zone (NMZL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) receiving front-line therapy with rituximab, RCHOP, RCVP or rituximab/fludarabine-containing regimens within 3 years from diagnosis. We demonstrated significant heterogeneity by histology after various regimens in multivariable survival models. Compared with RCHOP, overall survival was inferior with fludarabine-based regimens in FL (hazard ratio, HR, 1.53, P=0.0001) and NMZL (HR 1.88, P=0.0018). Analogous associations were evident for cumulative incidence of lymphoma-related death (HR 1.37, P=0.017, and 1.87, P=0.026, respectively). Conversely, in SLL outcomes were similar with any regimen. In NMZL and SLL, survival was not significantly different after single-agent rituximab compared with multi-agent combinations. The choice of front-line chemotherapy may thus impact survival in older patients with indolent lymphomas, and the heterogeneity by histology should be accounted for in clinical trials.

Be the first Find.HamptonRoads.com user to add photos or videos of Nobles Auto Ctr
Went to get my vehicle inspected on 9/23/2012 and the building was empty and For Sale. The phone number has been disconnected.
I started taking my vehicles to Nobles in the late90's and even when I left the area I kept referring to them as they were the only folks that I knew were truly honest. They are really comitted to helping women to understand auto maintenence and live what they espouse as their religion. When I returned to this area I returned to them and I havent regretted it. Now their son Mark is there and he too seems to run an honest shop. Kudos L&D Noble for your hard work and good heart.
I had to get a routine oil change this May. The first place I saw was Nobles and decided to get it out of the way. The wait took a little longer than I thought, but when the mechanic came back in he told me that he had checked the basics and my brake pads had worn out pretty bad and he recommended I get them changed. When i went back the service writer remembered me by name. I was surprised that the cost was under $200. Another thing that surprised me was how clean the waiting room was, I think of mechanic shops as sort of grungy. I was happy with the service and would recommend this place.
