A lot has happened in the past 100 years. World wars have been fought, presidents have come and gone, man has traveled to the moon and back.
Through all that, a one-room school house in Pease, Minnesota, has stood the test of time, and even expanded its building to invite more students to earn a faith-based education.
Community Christian School will celebrate its centennial from July 3-6 with several events throughout the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
Community Christian School, a history
CCS first opened its doors in 1914 as a one-room schoolhouse called Pease Christian School. The school was founded by Dutch immigrants that wanted their children to get an education that involved God. By 1918 the school expanded with a building addition, and in 1919 they added another school building, Riverside Eastern School, for kids who wished to attend but lived farther east.
By 1927 the school had ballooned to more than 100 students, which caused them to add another room to the school.
The Depression then hit the school hard and Riverside had to be closed in 1936. In 1954 the school expanded once again, adding two classrooms, an office, a storage room and bathrooms. In 1970 that whole wooden building was torn down and a new school with classrooms, a kitchen and a boiler room were built. The gymnasium, three more classrooms and a lobby were added in 1971.
The name of Pease Christian School was changed in 1978 to Community Christian School in part to debunk a myth.
"The myth was that you had to go to the Pease church to go to the Peace Christian School; a lot of people used to think that," said Amy Banks, CCS development director. "But more than 27 churches are represented here now. It encompasses anyone who wants to send their children here."
Another myth that has followed the school throughout its history is that all they do is teach the Bible, but Banks is quick to note that they are first and foremost an educational facility.
"The misconception is that you just teach Bible, or put Bible into everything," Banks said. "We're an educational facility, we educate, we have certified teachers and they are coming from certified colleges. It is just a focus and a way in which you teach and present."
In recent years the school has expanded from K-8 to include prekindergarten as well. They also remodeled the offices, lobby and bathrooms in 2013.
And the school still has the same mantra as it did when it opened.
"Our whole goal is to continue offering families a Christian perspective on learning," Banks said. "We really try to work together in that triangle of church, home and school."
Celebrating 100 years
The school's events to celebrate its centennial will kick off with an ice cream social, games for children, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday, July 3, at CCS.
On Friday, July 4, there will be a golf tournament hosted at Stones Throw Golf Course in Milaca and activities and fireworks at Pease Park.
CCS will host a 5K run and walk Saturday morning from 9-11 a.m.
The biggest event will happen on Saturday evening, July 5, when a centennial banquet will be hosted at Northern Lights Ballroom and Banquet Center in Pease. The guest speaker at the banquet will be nationally known Tony Campolo.
Festivities will wrap up on Sunday, July 6, with a worship service led by Pastor David Smit at 9:30 a.m.
Banks is happy to be celebrating what the school means to the community.
"It's come a long ways, but the thread that began, has stayed," Banks said. "It is Christ-centered education in everything you do and that's why you do it."
Alumni of the school from across the country, including Florida, Texas and California, plan to attend.
"It's a big thing, and we have more than 360 people coming to the banquet right now," Banks said. "We have a lot of alumni coming back, so it's exciting."
Banks said she is impressed with the longevity of CCS, especially in times of economic uncertainty. They have outlasted many other small Christian schools in the state.
"A lot of small Christian schools are shutting down, and the support here has been very good, and the roots of people who firmly believe and are deeply rooted in the school," Banks said. "Our prayer is that we have 100 more years to offer this in this area."

Imagine Aluminum Harbor SUP/Kayak Paddle
two paddles in one
An excellent quality product built for years of use.
September 17, 2014
SUP paddle
This is an awesome paddle. Great versatility. I like that I can sit and kayak on my board because it comes with the extra paddle or I can extend it and stand up.
June 11, 2014
Good Product
This is a good product. We got it because it is adjustable for all the members of the family on our paddleboard. Sturdy construction.
September 25, 2013
Good paddle for what it is
it is longer than other kayak/sup hybrids which is kind of important. I'm 6'1" and at its fully extended position it is perfect for me Paid 100 for it. Had the price been 80, the quality and value would have been rated 5 stars. I feel 100 is just a bit higher than it should have been priced. It's a bit heavy...but if you're using it for what I do (rivers on a plastic sup), it is perfect. A carbon fiber or fiberglass paddle wouldn't stand up to that type of use. Compared to other hybrid paddles, I would purchase this one again. No buyers remorse
August 23, 2013
nice adjustable paddle
I purchased with a SUP since it was the only choice in the store. it has worked well and is easily adjustable for people 5'0" to 6'+. it does float but is somewhat heavy.
August 11, 2013
Great paddle
Paddle for paddle board is great. A little heavier than I expected at first but that is because it is adjustable in length. Being adjustable works great for multiple users.
July 24, 2013
Quality product
This paddle adjusted easily and was light and easy to handle. It did the job beautifully and made for an enjoyable first paddle boarding experience I would highly recommend this product to anyone needing quality equipment for their water recreation. The additional blade is a plus since I also enjoy kayaking! All-around great product!
July 16, 2013
solid though a bit heavy
made for durability, adjustable to fit whole family from small kids to adults, like the conversion to kayak paddle. knew it was heavy from the specs but liked the wide range of adjustment compared to others in this price range
July 13, 2013
Great product
Love the uses out of this and the easy way it transforms. Great for my kayak, canoe and my boat. Love it.
July 8, 2013
Good beginner paddle
First thoughts on the paddle were that it looks great and it has a nicely contoured blade that pulls the water well. Handles are comfortable and it is very strong. On the other hand it is a bit heavy and thus doesn't float well. Matter of fact, don't turn your back too long or you may need some scuba gear. Overall, its a pretty good value if you don't plan to go in deeper waters or leave the paddle to the care of the kids.

I have never been a fan of the airy and unsatisfying regular Rice Krispies (although Snap, Crackle and Pop have always had my heart). Well, now I can officially tell the boys that I genuinely like one of their products: Jumbo Multi-Grain Rice Krispies. When they ramped up the size of the infamous Rice Krispies, they also ramped up the density. Therefore, instead of a bunch of airy bits of nothing, you are presented with a bowl (or hand) full of more substantial, but still light and airy, cylindrical cereal pieces.
Each 1 cup (27 gram) serving of Kellogg's Jumbo Multi-Grain Rice Krispies Cereal provides a mere 90 calories, no fat, 3 grams of fiber (11% of the daily value), 8 grams of sugar and 1 gram of protein . The ingredient list contains nothing out of the ordinary (rice, flour, sugar, cornmeal, honey, oil, salt and added vitamin) and manages to be on the shorter side.
I paid $2.50 for an 11.2oz box of Jumbo Multi-Grain Rice Krispies and I could not be more satisfied with my new find. Not only is it yummy with a splash of milk, but it also makes a great snack straight from the bag, added to a trail mix or mixed with other cereals.
Gigi Reviews didn't like them though and neither did Chow's Super Taster, so tell us what you think. Have you tried this before? Do you like it? I know one thing, Snap, Crackle and Pop will definitely be visiting my house again very soon.

Sovereignty and a New Reality

Palestinian Recognition at the U.N.
By Geoffrey Cook, TMO
Washington–Your reporter has devoted much time to the (progressive) Israeli position on any possible peace discussion with the rightful Arab claimants to the Holy Land. The Palestine Center, housed in the American capital city, has given your narrator the opportunity to voice the opposing Palestinian position on their march to recognition towards their legitimate status at next month's meeting at the United Nations.
"Ambassador" Maen Areikat gave a formal speech on his "country's" formal position on a potential declaration next month of his country's independence in New York City a month ago here in the District of Columbia with the most knowledgeable legal expert on Ramallah's right for national agency, Professor John Quigley.
This, presented in July, was part of the Palestine Center's public examination of what they termed "The Arab Spring becomes the Palestinian Autumn" — something your scribe does not as yet subscribe.
"Ambassador" (your raconteur only puts parenthesis around his title because Areikat represents a stateless State, and his credentials may not be officially recognized here in D.C.) Mean Areikat is the main PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) representative in the U.S. officially commissioned with the rank of Ambassador by President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian National Authority (PA).
He has held high positions in negotiating teams and delegations with the Israeli occupiers. Maen, also, served as Desk Officer over English-speaking powers within the PA's Orient House's International Relations Department.
From your author's recent research on Israel, the attitude of the Palestinians going directly to the U.N. on Manhattan's River for an official acknowledgment of their natural entitlement is anathema to Tel Aviv. As John Quigley pointed out, the Israeli parliament (or Knesset) recognized the PLO as representing a State by recognizing the legitimacy of the Oslo Accords or the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arraignments or more succinctly the Declaration of Principles (DOP) of September 13th 1993. Further, under the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, the Turks under their then Ottoman Empire ceded their former territories (including Palestine) as States to the (former) League of Nations who gave them in trust to the victorious (post-)World War I European Empires as temporary Mandates.
Erekat noted, whatever, the Security-Council does not have the right to recognize or deny nationhood, but it must be passed by two-thirds of its members to be sent on to the General Assembly (GA) , but, if it does pass the initial hurdle, it will most likely be bureaucratically shunted into a Committee. Here, this Committee can be slowed down in referring it to the General-Assembly.
The leading legal expert on this process this process is Professor John Quigley of Ohio State University in Columbus. Besides the law, Quigley's interests includes human rights; and, thus, Palestine.
Professor Quigley simply states that, after the matter has been referred to the General-Assembly without obfuscations, the Security-Council has to defend their position on whether to grant Statehood or not to the G.-A. This can actually go back and forth between the two bodies for some time.
The Ambassador showed that it is only the G.-A. that can bestow the legal status of Statehood, and that standing can have several different levels. Under the U.N. Charter the U.S. can't say "We don't like it [our bid], or give Israel more time to make peace." Both of these are invalid under the United Nations' Charter.
There is a question of what exactly is legally binding because the Charter is ambiguous here: It is not clear whether the General Assembly has the authority to admit a country into the U.N. without the Council's approval to do so, and there has been no precedent to establish it one way or the other. To continue the pun we are proceeding on uncharted ice.
Only Israel is claiming that this move is unilateral. It is not so, as the Ambassador declares, " We are going for full admission into the United Nations to be acknowledged as a sovereign entity!" In the General Assembly the Palestinians only require a plurality of fifty (percent) plus one. Debate is proceeding back home in Ramallah on which course to proceed. According to the District of Columbia, the U.S. insists that Palestinian State's status should only come through negotiation, but negotiations for Tel Aviv denotes the avoidance of the two-country agreement whereas Palestine advocates a dual realm resolution by fighting against the unjust Settlements. The real cost of the Occupation is borne by the international commune. This is "Not an effort to isolate Israel," for "We are committed to non-violent peaceful resistance, but we shall not tolerate the Occupation!"
The Right Honorable Maen Areikat continued, "The only way we shall reconsider [this bid for recognition] is if the community of nations can guarantee our security; then, discussions can go on in good faith."
Quigley, further, adds that, if Palestine achieves its place amongst the family of sovereign states, the War Crimes committed against the Canaanites can be brought before the International Court under the Treaty of Rome of 2003.
If Palestine would be welcomed into that august body on the Hudson, then, as a sovereign nation, "We would have [to have] responsibilities," too, Areikat stated. "We would [then] have to follow the U.N. Charter," Conversely, "The Quartet [the nations acting as interlopers between Tel Aviv and Ramallah – the United States, the United Kingdom (U.K.), the Russian Federation, the European Union (EU) and the United Nations as a coordinator] is concerned about [this forthcoming] September['s confrontation], for [it is bound] to be more favorable to the Arabs. It is a foregone conclusion that Ramallah will gain the fifty plus one in the General Assembly guaranteeing a Palestinian nation, but alternatively, they can merely grant Observer Status; but, thereby, we shall gain international legality," also.
Areikcat said, "We may just be headed for New York as a rouse..[but we have the ]the right to tell…people our options!" Concluding, "We can move towards independence!…We have rights under the U.N. " Then, "We can move forward towards [true] Independence…We'll have our rights under the U.N.!" There "will be a change in international relations. In 1948,Israel agreed to be a neighbor of a bordering Arab State. The PLO's position is a two-State solution!" Ultimately, the agreement will be made between the Palestinians and the Israelis. Although there is EU support, His Excellency felt the European vote is in question.

Quickly… I'm honored and flattered to have my blog on the front of MLBlogs. Thank you, people who decide those kinds of things! But could you have chosen a picture where I wasn't having a bad hair day? That was a Bad Hair Day with capitals. Do you think that's why Ryan Braun didn't come over? Never mind. Let's have this conversation another time.
I want you to know that this game is giving me nightmares. It's not like I've never dreamt about baseball before. Last offseason I dreamt that Barry Zito was having Thanksgiving dinner with my family and he kept falling asleep on his plate of noodles, and he didn't look great with tomato sauce on his face, but this was different. (That dream does beg the question: "Why were you eating noodles on Thanksgiving?" Good question. Don't know the answer.) Last night I dreamt that the Giants last game kept going on and on and no one would tell me the Braves score. I was running around the house yelling, "Did it go final?" I think it's time for the regular season to be over.
Photo not by me. I don't really eat noodles that much. I just dream about eating noodles.
The regular season and the playoffs feel really different from each other, obviously, and today feels like the end of the marathon, which has literally lasted more than half a year. It still feels less like a marathon, though, because it's about one game or three games right now, so we're getting a taste of the playoffs, instead of the "lots of time" mindset. It's going to be fun, no question, but I'm still sad for the endless every day spring and summer games to be over. It drizzled today. Where did the year go? Did this go as fast for you as it did for me? I'm looking at the year and it reminds me of Zito's start yesterday. A kind of, "Oops, that happened too fast, can we go back?" It was ugly, yesterday.
My assessment about the Willie Mac Award has always basically been that 100,000 fans opinions are equivalent to one Barry Zito opinion. Literally, they are, because the winner of the fan vote counts as one, just each player or staff member vote counts as one. Self-esteem denting much, fans? But those 100,000 fans together might pitch a little better than Zito did yesterday. At least they might throw strikes albeit strikes that would land in McCovey Cove. As we always say to console parents whose kids are getting snowed at Little League games, "At least he's throwing hard. At least he's in the zone." When they start walking in runs, we say, "Does he play soccer in the offseason?" (Just kidding, about that, by the way. We actually nod soulfully.)
If his pitching career fails, I'd like to suggest a new career as a nail polish namer. I'm not really clear on how you get into that industry, but name recognition might help. Do you think people who hire nail polish namers would be familiar with a Cy Young Award winner? You never know. Anyway. The reasoning behind my idea is in his nicknaming of Pablo Sandoval which has becoming one of the great marketing tools of the Modern Era (I'm talking about Pablo "Kung Fu Panda" Sandoval, not Pablo "Strand-Em-All" Sandoval) and his naming of his sporadic radio show "The Unicorn Hour". That might have been dreamed up by a brilliant young marketing executive at KNBR, but it kind of sounds like he came up with it. And if he ever lacks inspiration, he could just dig into his 126 million dollars and hire someone to come up with ideas for him. Take it from someone who spends a small fortune (a small fortune in my terms. Not even on the radar screen in terms of 126 million dollars) on nail polish. They need some fresh blood in the naming process.
Photo by me. One of my favorite ways to waste time is to photograph bottles of nail polish from interesting angles. For once, I am not kidding.
It may sound like I'm picking on Zito about his contract, so I want to make it really clear that I'm not and I'd like to take this time to state my opinion on all things contractual. Let's say the thought process goes like this: Coming home from a hard day of work to your family, who you are desperately trying to support in tough economic times. You turn on your radio and hear, "And Zito walks in another run." You think, "God, how long would it take me to make as much as he makes in one GAME? I hate Barry Zito."
That's where the thought process goes wrong. I'd like to put us all in a room, getting offered 126 million dollars for doing nothing. I think we'd all say yes. Zito got offered that money to do what he's probably wanted to do since he was a little kid. You can hate the industry of baseball for how much its athletes get paid or you can hate Brian Sabean for signing someone to such a huge contact for so many years, but why hate Zito himself, exactly? Take Aaron Rowand as another example. The guy is notorious for working as hard as he possibly can to do his job well. And some General Manager offered him financial stability for the rest of his life. Why hate Aaron Rowand?
All kidding and hard stuff aside, though, I still believe in Zito, if only because he seems programmed to contradict people, like the rest of his current team. He's been Gollum for a while now, but he could still become "a light when all other lights go out.", if given the chance. To take a page out of NY baseball lore (since we're the mercenary Yanks now): You Gotta Believe. Or, you know: You Gotta Bereave. We'll see. Stay tuned, darling people. The marathon is going… going… gone…

Keri Russell at Home
The actress and her husband take a hands-on approach to creating the brownstone of their dreams
By Kathleen Hackett
When Keri Russell first blurted out the three little words that a smitten Shane Deary wanted to hear, it wasnt while embracing under a moonlit sky or walking hand in hand on a stretch of sandy beach. Panicked by the smell of gas in her recently purchased Manhattan co-op, a duplex wreck in a West Village brownstone, she dialed up Deary. He appeared in ten seconds flat, single-handedly pulled the gigantic stove away from the wall, and saved me from shutting off the entire buildings gas supply, Russell remembers.
Since hed spared her the wrath of fellow co-op members, its no wonder the actress used the L-word after just six months of dating. She met Deary, a craftsman and contractor, through friends a few years after decamping to New York City from Los Angeles in 2002. I moved with a mattress, a box of books, and my two cats, says Russell, who had wrapped a successful four-year run as Felicity, on the eponymous television series.

The new satellite, ViaSat-1, from Wildblue/Exede, provides a new technology called AcceleNet. When a browser requests a DNS or web site request AcceleNet intercepts this request, gathers all the elements of that web page, compresses it and sends the compressed page to the customer's modem where built-in firmware decompresses the data and presents it to the customers' browser...either via the router or directly to their computer if customer does not use a wireless router.
This allows almost instant web page loading...I barely get my finger off the mouse when I click a web site request and the page is totally loaded...this AcceleNet technology also reduces the number of bytes sent over the satellite, which reduces the usage charged to the customers' usage allowance for their particular plan.
The total latency with this new satellite and technology is about 600ms...never noticed in browsing, and my daughter also has the Exede12 service and installed a Verizon network extender to her router and uses it for their cell phone and smart phone connections (no cell tower signal in our remote location) and I can't detect any latency from her cell phone calls to/from me, although I know it's there.
I'm contracted directly with WB/Exede with 12mbs (averages 20mbs) service and the $49 plan with 10gB's of anytime usage and with a free, unmetered, window from midnight to 5am local time, called Late-Night-Free-Zone..
The customers have to lease the equipment for $9.99/month so my total monthly bill is ~$60.00.
DishNet, as of now, does not offer the LNFZ, but you save $5.00/month bundling this service...but you also get slower speeds from DishNet plans and may get service from HughesNet's Gen4 satellite without the AcceleNet technology..
If you live in an area where dial-up is your only choice (or slow DSL) then I recommend getting the Exede service directly from WB/Exede. Go to this web site and enter your zip code to see what's offered in your geographical area...not all of the US is covered by ViaSat-1 spot-beams, but the areas that are not can get the Exede5 plan (5mbs) for the same price..
I too, am contracted directly with Exede, but, as are several other subscribers, subject to overnight outages that sometimes go into mid afternoon of the following day. For this reason alone, have considered switching to Dishnet, but upon reading all of the inputs, it looks as if my issues could repeat with Dish because of the sharing agreement. I will be anxious to hear inputs from new DishNet subscribers regarding this issue.

If one of these conditions occurs, contact your eye doctor immediately.

° UV PROTECTION: Consumer research has shown that UV protection is an important lens attribute for patients. In fact, 3 of 4 patients report that they want UV protection from their contact lenses, and 1 of 2 say they would switch brands for UV protection. Since 1997, ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses have led the way in UV blocking. All ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses are FDA approved to help provide protection against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye.**
ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses block approximately 82% of UV-A radiation and 97% of UV-B radiation. On the average, contact lenses without UV blocking block approximately 10% of UV-A radiation and 30% of UV-B radiation(1).
1 Harris MG, Hararifar M, Hirano K. Transmittance of tinted and UV-blocking disposable contact lenses. Optom Vis Sci 1999;76(3):177-180.
** WARNING: UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses, because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed. NOTE: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor activities). UV-Blocking contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-Blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders.

According to the Make-A-Wish website, "Make-A-Wish® grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition in the United States and its territories, on average, every 38 minutes. We believe that a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us. It inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve."
On the day of the race registration will be from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Participants can pre-register before Oct. 22 and the first 25 will get a free t-shirt.
5K pre-registration is $25 and $30 Oct. 22.
Kids Fun Run pre-registration is $10 and $15 after Oct. 22.
Braxton Grant, a Cleveland Wish Child will kick off the kids' fun run at 9:30 a.m. and the 5K at 10 a.m.
The Kids Fun Run is for children ages 12 and under. Parents can run free with one parent per child.
There will also be a costume contest & prize awarded to best dressed at each Kick-Off and door prizes drawn for 5K participants!
According to Swayze Pentecost, a Make-a-Wish representative, Braxton Grant is six years old.
January, he woke up unable to speak, swallow, or move the left side of his body. After numerous tests, doctors found a blood clot in the lower part of Braxton's brain. Braxton had a stroke, and also has a malformation of his spinal cord and brain.
After a month in the hospital, and many months of therapy, Braxton is doing well. Braxton's most heartfelt wish was to go on the Disney Cruise.
His mom wrote, "It was the most amazing trip of our lives! Everything about it was truly magical. Thank you Make-A-Wish Mississippi, you have made us so many happy memories during this very hard year."
"He and his family will be featured at our event. They will be judging the costume contest at each kick off.
"The fun run for kids is just a half mile around the intramural fields," said Pentecost.
"Kristi Harrison of Cleveland has been huge in helping make a wish plan this event.
"She is a new volunteer for us," said Pentecost.
Delta State athletes have also volunteered to help during the event.
"Michael Vinson, a graduate student, has organized for the athletes to be there. NCAA DII schools have adopted make a wish as their charity to support- they have held lots of fundraisers for us," said Pentecost.
Last year 110 wishes were granted by the foundation in Mississippi.
Sponsors are still needed for the event. For a $200 sponsorship, individuals or businesses will be named on signage at the walk, in all Make-A-Wish advertisements and press releases, and on the Make-A-Wish website. To make a donation, please call (601) 366-9474 ext. 1-303, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Roeper: Reporters fail when it comes to exploiting child witnesses
RICHARD ROEPER (@richardroeper) December 15, 2012 1:49PM
Schoolchildren wait for their parents at the Sandy Hook firehouse following a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Friday, Dec. 14, 2012 in Newtown, Conn. (AP Photo/The Journal News, Frank Becerra Jr.)
Updated: January 17, 2013 6:46AM
Emerging from the escapist cocoon of the screening room last Friday afternoon, I immediately powered up the communications gadgets.
A few moments later I was stopped in my tracks, trying to absorb the unfathomable news of the school shootings in Connecticut.
Raced home, turned on CNN — and there was a boy about 10 years old, a student at Sandy Hook Elementary, describing what he had seen and heard and felt just hours before.
"I was in the gym at the time . . .
we heard lots of bangs," said the boy, as a construction worker in a lime-green vest worked on a barricade, pounding rocks in the background.
"We heard screaming," said the little boy, who then had to pause to compose himself, shaking his head as to ward off tears.
Even in this age of raw, instant news, it was a stunning television moment — equal parts riveting and sickening.
Where were this boy's parents? Why would they allow him to speak to a reporter mere hours after dozens of his schoolmates and a number of adults were gunned down while he was close enough to hear the violence?
Not that this was the only such instance of a child being interviewed near the scene. A reporter asked a little girl, "Were kids crying and screaming? A boy who was delivering an attendance report at the time of the shootings told his story to a New York TV station as his mother stood by, her arm around him. A third-grade girl recounted how she heard "everybody crying" and "police officers yelling."
On Friday's edition of "Nightline," reporter Dan Harris concluded his interview with an 8-year-old girl by telling her, "Alexis, I'm really glad you're OK, I'm really glad you're OK. You're pretty tough."
And that's journalism how?
The more we saw these children talking on TV before they'd even had a chance to go home, the more it felt like exploitation. Kids telling NBC, CBS, Fox News, CNN about hearing loud noises and getting rushed out of school — talking on live TV before they've even been told which of their friends are gone forever.
Of course, the reporters can't deliver those cringe-inducing moments if the families don't allow their children to talk on camera before those kids have even begun to process what has just transpired.
When I asked Dr. Louis Kraus, professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at Rush University Medical Center, about the propriety of interviewing small children who have just experienced an unimaginable trauma, he said, "This is a little town in Connecticut . . . [parents] see a friendly reporter, you're not at your best, you might not be thinking. They're like deer in the headlights. People somehow might think it will have a calming impact on their kids [to talk to the media]. But it's not the best of ideas, obviously."
Bruce Shapiro, executive director for the Dart Center of Journalism and Trauma, told the Huffington Post, "Simply having a child for the sake of having a child on camera does nothing to advance the story. Interviewing a small child whose understanding of death is limited . . .
can only contribute to the . . . real trauma of the child."
Perhaps it's unfair to fault the decision-making process of a parent who has just rushed to an elementary school to find out if her child is among the victims of a horrific mass shooting. Even as you're thanking God your son or daughter has been spared, you know many of your friends weren't so lucky and you're just beginning to process how to help your own child cope with such a life-scarring moment. There's no manual for this. You're not exactly in the clearest frame of mind.
But still. I can't imagine why anyone would allow an 8-year-old child to go on television to talk about an experience so traumatic it would have had an impact on trained military personnel.

Scarborough is suposed to be a "suburb" of Toronto, when in fact it really isnt. There are a few areas that consist of very nice housing JUST like every other city, and also has its horrible looking areas JUST like every other city. Scarborough is a very multicultural area that consists of mainly these cultures in order of population; Asian, Tamils/Brown men, Black, White. Scarborough is known for its high-crime rate and drug related activity. Unlike other troubled areas that have groups of individuals that dvide themselves by race, Scarborough is known for its multi-cultural gangs and crime groups. There are many who claim that Scarborough is a very nice "suburb" to live in and that there really isnt any crime that goes on. What you need to know about those people is that they are completly oblivious to the crime that goes on because they are not there to witness it. The Scarbrough drugs of choice are of the following in order by popularity; Weed, Extacy, Mushrooms, Cocaine. Scarbz is an E-Tard area.

The second largest city (as far as square miles) in Maine. It has a population of approximatly 20,000. As most towns do in southern Maine it has a couple nick names. For example S-Town and the more popular "The Borough". Scarborough is made up of many different neighborhoods. Some of them are Pleasant Hill, Prouts Neck, Oak Hill (downtown east scarborough) Dunstan Corner (downtown west scarborough) among many others. It's wicked easy to get drugs in Scarborough (especially weed or crack). If you can't get it from the first person you walk up to, they know someone you can get it from.
Dude, I went to get some weed and crack in Scarborough.

Feed My Sheep: A Passionate Plea for Preaching
from Deborah Finnamore Nov 20, 2008 Category: Articles
In the Old Testament, God decried the fact that His people were perishing for lack of knowledge about Him. The same seems to be occurring today. There is "sharing," "suggesting," plenty of storytelling, and lots of preaching to "felt needs" in modern pulpits. But the authoritative, expositional opening of the Word of God is becoming scarcer all the time. Jesus told Peter, "Feed my sheep" (John 21:17). Such is the mission for all Christ's shepherds. But when preaching is neglected, those who have been called to feed the sheep do little more than pet them. Here is encouragement for pastors to persevere in their calling and wisdom to guide congregations in holding their shepherds to the biblical standards. Keep Reading -
Top 5 Commentaries on the Book of Isaiah
from Keith Mathison Nov 17, 2008 Category: Articles
Of all the eighth century prophetic books, none matches the sheer scope of the book of Isaiah. His book covers the common prophetic themes of impending judgment and future restoration, but Isaiah also focuses much attention on the coming messianic King, the servant of God. There are a number of quite helpful commentaries on this prophetic book, and the following are five of the best. Keep Reading -

Conquering the World
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Nov 14, 2008 Category: Articles
Thomas Aquinas was a great gift to the church. He stands among the greatest minds the world has ever known. This doesn't mean, of course, that he did not have his flaws, one of which goes to the heart of his intellectual labors. He saw it as his goal to synthesize the wisdom of Aristotle with the wisdom of the Bible. Now, Aristotle was no intellectual slouch either. That said, Thomas' goal ought to immediately raise flags for us. Even a dummy like me can see: why would anyone want to synthesize the Bible with anything? What does the Bible lack that Aristotle brought to the table? The Bible is sufficient to tell us that the Bible is sufficient. We don't need Aristotle -- or Aquinas -- to remind us that at the end of the day we don't need Aristotle or Aquinas. What we need is the Bible. Keep Reading -
Spontaneous Compassion
from Joni Eareckson Tada Nov 14, 2008 Category: Articles
Bureaucracies aren't programmed to be compassionate. It's not in the nature of the thing. Take my friend, David Bowie, in his big, bulky wheelchair. After he became a quadriplegic in a car accident and his wife left him, he moved into a cramped one-room apartment and learned to rely on three or four part-time attendants to get him up and put him to bed. Life's not easy. Keep Reading -

Announcing Ligonier Academy
from R. Fowler White Nov 12, 2008 Category: Articles
When Ligonier Ministries first began, it was a place. A destination. A refuge for devoted learners and passionate followers of Christ. Ligonier quickly grew to become an organization with international scope, but its origin was as a place of study and fellowship centered on the teaching of Dr. R.C. Sproul. Ligonier Academy of Biblical & Theological Studies will once again provide a destination for study, fellowship, and collegial interaction essential to our goal to further equip Christians to know what they believe, why they believe it, how to live it, and how to share it. A long time ago, Dr. Sproul saw the need to offer an accessible, practical bridge of learning for the growing Christian, and Ligonier Ministries was born. Keep Reading -
Ecclesiastical Myopia
from R.C. Sproul Nov 11, 2008 Category: Articles
Perhaps the most remarkable statement I ever heard a man utter from the pulpit was: "He has a penurious epistemology, which tends to be myopic." I was seated in the balcony of the church when that statement was made, and I could not restrain myself from laughing aloud. I nudged my wife Vesta and said, "I just might be the only person in the church who understood what that man said." What is a penurious epistemology? A penurious epistemology is a theory of knowledge that is poverty-stricken or on the verge of bankruptcy. Such a view of knowledge, if it tends towards myopia, is simply suffering a bad case of near-sightedness. I'm afraid that the American church suffers from a similar sort of myopia. Keep Reading -

Preaching: the first essential mark of the Church

There seems to be an awful lot of very bad contraptions by a small number of individuals gumming up the Other Players' Designs section. Maybe only save limit or, at least, a publish limit?
It's frustrating trying to view different designs when three or four spammers clog up the first couple dozens of pages.
As for other feedback, being able to sort those would be nice. Date, rating, number of rates, number of pieces, all that jazz....
Anyway, great game. Only played the flash version 'cause that's all I can afford but think I convinced a friend with an iPad to get it. Hope to see more!

I mean TWD and Fables is pretty cool and all but I can't wait for more Sam & Max. :(
I mean TWD and Fables is pretty cool and all but I can't wait for more Sam & Max. :(
well, to be honest, telltale is making a whole lot of money with TWD and are working on a GoT game, that will have to potential to double their profit. And then there is this Sam and Max game, which I have never even heard of before and I just take a look at the artwork and feel like "I don't really want to know". I know I am not even giving this series a chance and that such behavior isn't fair at all, but chances are that I am not the only one who thinks that way. So from Telltale's point of view: Why should they bother their lazy asses with developing a game for some oldschool pre-TWD Telltale fans when they can easily make enough (and possibly even more) money with TWD and GoT? Even if all oldschool fans would leave Telltale behind in disappointment, TWD and GoT are almost certain to draw twice as many people back in and will possibly even keep them here for a couple of seasons, ensuring lots of precious $$ for the company.
The only way I see them working on this is either when they finally expand (hire more staff to do more work - and even then they would still focus more on TWD and GoT) or when TWD and GoT are not hauling in enough cash anymore, so they try to milk all their franchises until they completely bleed out. Sort of what Square Enix is currently doing with every franchise they own. Final Fantasy most of all.
I am just getting to the final episode of my first Sam and Max game and I am really enjoying it in comparison to TWD. I think TWD is great but the further it goes on the less puzzling there is. I didn't mind the puzzling in the first TWD and it was a lot more rare to get moments where you felt "stuck" and it was emotional in a way I couldn't describe. But the second season has so little game play elements. When I started playing the other Telltale Games that are more point and click I just love going through the puzzling and moon logic involved. I just hope they eventually have another Sam and Max or even Monkey Island like game.
I have to say Sam and Max has been really wonderful so far and has been downright crazy and outlandish that I love it. It's a good break from Telltale trying to emotionally wrench us with TWD.
Yes yes all the negative and bleak outlooks were also seen on my speculation/suggestion thread in 2010. I'm starting to think most telltale fans are going emo. But I'll tell you the best way for sparking interest in the series, good old fashioned non-sexist Mad Men marketing tactics. That what got me into the series ages ago. It was actually the commercial for season 2 "What's New Beelzebub". Hipsters today would love to see our furry pals solve cases. Just have to take the right angle. I bet a few instagram channels and a meme can increase interest ten fold.
How about we start a movement to get Telltale to drop Sam & Max and let someone who cares about the franchise to pick up the torch? Surely there are many game companies who could do the franchise right by another game. From the statements of people here at Telltale, it's obvious they only care about owning the rights and using the characters as cameos in games like "Poker Night." The days of a point and click Sam & Max adventure at Telltale have gone the way of the Dodo. It's Zombie stories from here on out. C'mon Telltale show some integrity and respect for the fans that kept you running until you decided to kick Sam & Max fans in the nuts.
Whilst I don't have the contract in my hands to examine, I don't believe Telltale has a lock on Sam & Max games as LucasArts once had. Steve Purcell controls those rights, so would be able to grant them to someone else, should another viable company make a persuasive enough pitch for them. The hard part is, if Telltale isn't currently interested, who would be?
I'm personally happy that Telltale is keeping Sam & Max in video games (and as the co-stars of those games no less, as opposed to cameo characters, to which the Walking Dead characters in Poker Night 2 were regulated). There's no reason every Sam & Max video game has to be an adventure game, because unlike, say, Monkey Island, Sam & Max started out as comic book characters, and those comics had the duo do just about everything (from shopping for groceries to traveling to the moon). So, the characters fit just as well just hanging out in a speakeasy playing poker as they do traveling across time and space to keep the true evil from taking over hell.
Telltale also never explicitly said there would never be any more Sam & Max adventure games, just that we probably wouldn't get any more Sam & Max games for a while (which is OK by me, since we got the last Sam & Max game only last year, and the last adventure game in 2010, which is a lot less time than the space between Hit the Road and Season One, or even Hit the Road and the cancellation of Freelance Police).
And, to be fair, Telltale does have a lot on their plate. Tales from the Borderlands and Game of Thrones are coming out this year, and if the rumors are true (started by Christopher Lloyd himself mentioning he was voicing Doc in more Telltale Back to the Future episodes at the Fan Expo in Canada), Back to the Future: Season Two will be coming out soon (if it is in production, I wouldn't be surprised if they're aiming for 2015 since that would fit in the series timeline perfectly). They haven't announced The Walking Dead: Season Three yet (they already announced season two around the time episode two of season one was released), so it's even possible that they're postponing their Walking Dead series as well (as they did previously for the third season of Sam & Max) since they've got so much going on at the moment.
I'm telling you they can market the series like bread and butter at a southern BBQ. People today love a twist in crime drama now just make it like those stupid HBO shows that hipsters love so much and BAM. Your fan base sky rockets.
We might see stand alone episodes, but whole season is unlikely at the moment.

Bruner also emphasized, "We love Sam & Max and certainly haven't forgotten about them! I think you'll see something smaller (more like Poker) than a full Season, and probably not for a bit, but we have NOT forgotten about them, we've just been super busy growing like crazy."
If they do continue with Sam & Max games, then I hope they use the graphic style they've been using with their recent games (Borderlands, Wolf among us, etc). I think Sam & Max would translate perfectly in that way. It keeps all the "gritty-ness" of 2d drawings without sacrificing the 3d element.
I hope your joking. :/ I have no idea how they would have Sam look like in that style It may look good, But I think they are fine as they stand Plus, that would be a shit ton of new assets to make
The Sam & Max games actually started out as comics, so a comic book style aesthetic like Wolf Among Us would work great. Poker Night 2 is the closest Telltale has ever gotten to making the characters look like their comic book counterparts, but there's definitely still room for improvement.
I know they have started in comics before (Not trying to be arrogant) an I just think they look even more beautiful then the comics. And that it shined in season 3. Also, the comic style makes it look gritty and non-colorful even though it can show off a lot of bright colors. Sam and max have always been colorful and full of humor, and thats why I think the first art style truly shines
Yeah it has been over 4 years since we last saw a sam and max game. I really hope they listen to us one day.

I just happened to catch this on a friends DVR...don't usually go in for reality shows. so I was surprised to discover this wasn't a reality show at all...it's what DDD would be if it had any actual content and integrity. Good find.
Remember: You're a unique individual...just like everybody else.
These Sean Brock episodes are really good IMO.

Older and wider.
"What happened to those other underpants you had?" -- Flight of the Conchords
Added to my TiVo. I'll have to check it out.
I've been really enjoying this season so far. The "seeds" episode has been my favorite so far. I really appreciate all that Sean Brock has done to elevate and re-discover heritage southern food. I was very under-impressed when I ate at Husk, but I understand the restaurant biz first hand. No matter how good you are, you can't be 100% awesome all the time. I love the low country and Charleston area, and we would probably be living there now if the whole c-word thing hadn't happened. Watching these episodes makes me want to be there even more.
Looking forward to more!

Join the Expedition!
Announcing the upcoming release of Isla Dorada |
Isla Dorada | Published 02 August 2010 |
Legends of unimaginable treasure surround the mysterious island of Isla Dorada. Several ancient civilizations once carved out a mighty empire on its shores, but the passage of time and the ravaging of wild beasts have driven them to ruin, leaving behind priceless artifacts and confusing maps to their hidden locations.
Now the year is 1934, and your expedition has crash landed on this exotic island. Your chance for infinite riches is within your grasp. But you don't want to share the loot with the rest of the expedition, do you?
Fantasy Flight Games is excited to announce the upcoming release of Isla Dorada! Guide your expedition through hazardous terrain and hostile territory, exploring the wonders of Isla Dorada while you compete to find the most treasure among your fellow explorers. Designed by Bruno Faidutti (with the help of Alan R Moon, Andrea Angiolino, and Piergiorgio Paglia), Isla Dorada is a board game of strategic bidding and exploration for 3-6 players.
In Isla Dorada, players join together to form an expedition, navigating through a mysterious and treasure-ridden island. However, since each player is competing to be the one explorer to find the most treasure, they each have their own treasure maps and their own secret motivations. To move the expedition, players bid cards that allow them to move the expedition through certain terrain. Whoever wins the bid gets to move the expedition and potentially find their hidden treasure.
Watch your step during your explorations, since dangerous creatures and curses lurk around the hidden ways of Isla Dorada.
Keep watching in the coming weeks, when we'll launch a full website for Isla Dorada, including detailed images and a summary of play. Be ready, the expedition begins this fall!
In Isla Dorada, 3-6 players take on the roles of explorers who have crash landed on an exotic and mysterious island. Through bidding and negotiation, players vie for control of the expedition marker, thereby moving the entire group to serve their own agendas. Outwit and outbid your opponents to become the wealthiest explorer to leave the island!
Looking forward to trying this game at Spiel 2010! I think the artwork looks amazing :)
lol, I thought at first the artwork looked completely retarded! But that was cause you couldn't really see it well on the intro pages here. Looking at the images on BGG I rather like the artwork. It has a fun style and a sense of humour. Something more to it than just plain childish
Still, proper adults will hate it!
Meh the artwork is reminiscent of Smallworld, which caught some slack from some people. You know the type, the ones that just like to complain for the sake of complaining. People that like to try and champion a cause that doesn't exist. Get over it.
It never ceases to amaze me that some people will dissect and clinically look for "racist" overtones into everything they see... Fortunely, this is something that I've never seen happen in my country (nor in other countries where different ethnical groups cohabit peacefully - i.e : Brazil). To me, these behavior seem just about as silly as taking care to see if "blond" people (or "tall" people, etc) are correctly/equally represented. You know, because it doesn't really matter... just like race does not matter. "Racism" is all about taking the "race" into consideration in your delibrations. If you can't just "let it go", you will always be stuck to the past you so eagerly want to distance yourself from...
Are you serious LETE?
Illustrations for the "native black people" (? - haven't played the game so I don't know which group they're in), remind me of the several now-banned Warner Brothers cartoons.
Definitely racist! Shame on the developers!
Is this supposed to be a family game? I don't want my kids to get those "values".
And the glut of new games coming out from FFG continues...how big has the company gotten over the past couple years to crank 'em out like this?!?
Artwork is one of the best ive seen. Check this pictures http://www.boardgamegeek.com/images/thing/68182/isla-dorada
yes its cartoonish but really great, really hoping this plays well with my daughter
The art work shouldn't be a problem so why even bring it up. Some people are so bloody overly sensitive. It's a freaking game based on a pulp fiction style romp through the jungle in the year 1934.
While I don't object to it myself, I can't imagine the pygmy illustrations are going to play too well in the united states. FFG could get burned by a drive-by media "shooting" if they're not careful.
I agree the artwork is distinctive, especially compared to anything else FFG has done. I still think it looks nice though. I don''t object to "childish" art if the game behind it is fun.
I have yet to be disappointed by a game that has Bruno Faidutti's name on it, so I'm very much looking forward to this title!
Been following the development of this on Bruno's website. I am VERY excited for this one. Curious thought that it's now under FFG's banner as FunForge's last release was handled on their own. The artwork is amazing!

Iowa Rush Announces the Installation of Permanent Lights at Prairie Ridge Soccer Complex
August 1, 2012 (Ankeny, IA)--- Iowa Rush Soccer Club, in conjunction with the City of Ankeny and Musco Sports Lighting, have installed permanent lights at the Prairie Ridge Soccer Complex. Six 60' poles have been erected at the complex and are expected to be fully functional later in August, lighting four platforms. Platform 35 will be lighted for game-ready competition, while Platforms 33, 34, and 36 will be lit for practice conditions. The club is planning to celebrate and officially recognize the addition of lights at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, August 18 at 8:15 in the evening. This date coincides with the club's annual pre-season intra-club Rush Cup. Immediately following the ribbon-cutting, the lights will be illuminated and utilized for the final games of the evening, crowning the champions under the lights for the first time.
"We are extremely excited about the opportunities the addition of lights represents. The investment in this project is worthwhile and we will see the benefits for years to come. It is a testament to the support and diligence of our members and the City, that we now have lights at Prairie Ridge," notes Iowa Rush Technical Director, Corbin Stone.
Todd Redenius, Ankeny Parks and Recreation Director, adds, "The City of Ankeny is very pleased to see the new soccer platform lights. It has been a pleasure partnering with the Iowa Rush on this project. Providing sports field lighting for training, recreational and competitive soccer has been a mutual goal of the City and Rush organizations for a long time and will certainly add to the experience of soccer participants. The City of Ankeny Parks and Recreation Department is pleased to see the project come to fruition and is appreciative of the Rush Board of Directors, Park Board and City Council for their efforts to make this great improvement a reality!"
Chip Pritchard also states, "As a parent of four Rush soccer players, a recreational team coach, and a member of the Iowa Rush Board of Directors, I am very proud the City of Ankeny and the Iowa Rush Soccer Club have teamed together to add lights to our Prairie Ridge soccer fields. The lights will impact every Iowa Rush soccer player by allowing the kids more flexible practice times and increased competition as more teams come to play under the lights. The Prairie Ridge facility is one of the very best sports venues in the Midwest. With lights on the soccer fields, the complex can now host soccer events both day and evening. This will help our community by hosting sporting events where players and parents will fill our hotels and restaurants. This project is definitely a win – win for the Iowa Rush Soccer Club and the City of Ankeny."

Hey dudes,
So there has been a lot of talk about redesigning character sheets the past few weeks and i thought i'd jump in on the action. The following link is a minimalist design with two major focuses:
- Bring all the information you need to PLAY onto the front page.
- Help players efficiently generate their dice pools, and reinforce what dice to use and when.
More to come soon.
