Councilman Greg Johnson Sr. suggested the first step in cutting back on crime in the city is to start with the inadequacy of the law enforcement.
"In order to get our city back, we need more of our police officers to step up and fulfill their duties. There should be no reason why we are still looking for a police chief when we have had several applicants," he said.
"There should also be no reason why the current acting police chief has not been present at any recent board meeting we have had or sent a representative from the department if he could not be present."
Councilman James Bolden offered that the town should implement time logs for each police officer.
"In the past, our police officers had to input the time and the location of the incident having occurred in a logbook to know where police officers are during their shift. The logbook would also contain names of the callers and the purpose of the calls made," said Bolden.
Mayor Carey Estes agreed that the logbook was very effective until past police chief, David James, replaced it by inputting the times and locations of each officer himself.
Estes said that he would look into starting the logbook method again for police officers in the near future to help cut back on criminal activity in the city.
Former citizen Eugene Phillips attended the council meeting to offer suggestions that would help rebuild and restore "The City of Brotherly Love."
"When I was a young boy, Rosedale was a place of many things. We had a movie theatre, grocery stores, parks, three hospitals and many more things to look forward to. Now, when I come home there is nothing to do. We need to reinvest in our community and lend a helping hand to restore what once was," he said.
"I have a list of things here that could happen such as using government funding to make the Rosedale River Road State Park functional, replenish the abandoned buildings when you first enter the city and build a museum for tourist and others to see the good that came from Rosedale, like Midrette Netter Graves who competed and won gold in the 1968 Summer Olympics."
Estes said he welcomed the ideas and some of things mentioned would be taken into consideration for development.
"We are looking forward to improving the city with some of these ideas. Recently we have sealed mostly if not all pot holes and paved each road with asphalt. We are also considering opening a tourist center sometime in the future," he said.

My love for granola blossomed because of using it as a snack staple for hiking. More recently, I've been adding some to plain yogurt (which lately has been Cascade Fresh Plain Yogurt) to add more oomph. With numerous varieties now available, I'm always trying different brands and flavors. Cascadian Farm Organic Dark Chocolate Almond Granola Review got a pretty good review, so I decided to stick with that brand, but try a different variety. Enter, Cascadian Farms Organic Cinnamon Raisin Granola.
The picture on the front of the box depicts a bowl full of cereal, with raisins aplenty scattered throughout. Pouring up a bowl myself, I was disappointed to find that someone clearly placed those on the cereal in the picture, because there was only a few in my bowl. I poured some low-fat cow's milk over the cereal and took a bite. It tasted like cinnamon raisin bread! Seriously! The puffed rice is crisp and airy, the oats are chewy and earthy, but unfortunately, the raisins are tough and leathery. While at first I was disappointed at the lack of raisins, I quickly wished that this was just a cinnamon granola.
A 2/3 cup serving of Cascadian Farm Organic Cinnamon Raisin Granola provides 210 calories, 3 grams of total fat, 1 gram of which is saturated, 8% of the daily value for sodium (200 mg), 16 grams of sugars, 3 grams of fiber, and 5 grams of protein. The ingredients list starts with organic whole grain rolled oats and naturally milled organic sugar - explains why this cereal tastes so sweet.
I would have liked to see less sugar in this cereal, though the extra sweetness makes it a tasty way to satisfy a sweet tooth. A 17 ounce box cost me $2.79 with a $1.00 dollar off coupon, so this isn't cheap - but for a treat or to bulk up bran flakes, it's a pretty good deal - but Cascadian Farm, do us a favor and get rid of the raisins!

This is the fire escape ladder that deploys easily from its storage box to a length of 14'. Unlike inferior ladders that require assembly or become tangled when extended, this ladder comes ready for use and folds compactly into its box for convenient storage. Its large, non-slip rectangular rungs provide sure footing, unlike lesser models that use slippery, rounded rungs. Fire-resistant nylon strapping connects each rung, making it more comfortable to grasp than chains or ropes. The ladder's rubber-tipped standoffs provide an easy foothold without damaging a home's exterior. Made from strong steel, it supports 375 lbs., exceeding ASTM safety standards, yet it is still lightweight enough for children or the elderly to use. For use in two story residences. Fits 6" to 10" wide sills. "Unlike so many home fire safety ladders, this one is strong, sturdy, and easy to use." - M.A., New Jersey

High quality fire ladder
By Jennifer
from Des Moines, IA
Fortunately, we haven't had to use a fire escape ladder. However if will ever will, I'm confident that this high quality ladder by First Alert is THE one to have. We've practiced our fire escape plan once everyone is out of the house, but we never had a solid plan to actually GET OUT. My 7- and 14-year-old boys will be able to lift these ladders over the edge of their 2nd story windows and climb out (they are 50 lbs & 100 lbs, respectively). The ladders are solid and strong, and even if they are never used in an emergency, these are well worth the money for the peace of mind.

I would not purchase the special gift wrap again as the item was too heavy and packed incorrectly. The wrap was all torn up when box was opened. The packaging protective material was not enough to keep the item from shifting while in transit. Also, the card was poorly designed.

Gave one each of this Escape Ladder as a gift to our grown kids. Card read: A gift I hope you will never have to use. It came as discribed, is light weight, sturdy and looks easy to use. I hope I will never have to give a report on its use. By the way the kids were thrilled to get it, for it is something people think about but never get around to buying.

By Jedi Alan

The ladder is sturdily built. However, the design has flaws. The rungs do not easily just drop and often get tangled up. You don't have time to untwist them in am emergency fire. Second, the rungs should have been made wider. They are much to narrow. Better to have one than not one at all.

File PhotoThe Asian citrus psyllid spreads citrus greening by feeding on infected plants, then feeding on healthy ones.The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has established a permanent, 5-mile quarantine around a San Juan, Texas, citrus grove that tested positive for citrus greening in January.
The rule, effective Sept. 1, regulates the movement of host plants within or out of the quarantine area, according to an Aug. 9 Federal Register notice.
It affects a total of 900 acres, according to APHIS.
The new rule replaces a temporary quarantine enacted by the Texas Department of Agriculture after citrus greening, also known as huanglongbing or HLB, was detected Jan. 13 in a commercial citrus grove in Hidalgo County, Texas.
Subsequent surveys and testing confirmed the disease in a neighboring grove as well.
Ray Prewett, president of Texas Citrus Mutual, Mission, said the industry believes the new rule is more feasible while at the same time reducing the risk of spreading HLB and the Asian citrus psyllid that transmits it.
"It's very practical and yet more acceptable to growers," he said.
The old rule required that leaves and stems be removed from all fruit originating from within the quarantine zone before it could be moved to outside packinghouses or processors.
But Prewett said the requirement was more difficult than it sounds, increasing harvest costs by 50% to 100%.
The new leaf-removal requirement only applies to infected groves.
Otherwise, the new rule requires packinghouses that receive fruit from the quarantine zone to dispose of leaves and stems in prescribed ways.
The biggest change, Prewett said, is that all groves within the quarantine zone must now be treated with an insecticide a few days before harvest.
"The biggest thing we think in reducing the risk is to be sure there aren't psyllids in the groves," he said.
HLB is spread when psyllids feed on infected leaves and then feed on healthy plants. The pre-harvest spray would significantly reduce the risk of an infected psyllid hitchhiking on fruit destined for an outside packinghouse or processor, Prewett said.
The pre-harvest spray also is on top of an area-wide psyllid control program, which involves about 85% of Rio Grande Valley citrus growers.
Under that coordinated effort, growers time their insecticidal sprays so large areas are treated at once. The theory is psyllids that flee one treated grove won't be able to seek safety in a nearby untreated grove.
Prewett said he anticipates the Texas Department of Agriculture will update its quarantine to mirror APHIS'.
Citrus Mutual plans to explain the new requirements at a grower meeting, Sept. 7, Prewett said.
That will provide growers enough time to implement them before harvest, which is expected to start in early October, he said.

Oregon Democrats unveil pension-cut proposal
Mar 25, 2013 | 3 Comments
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Oregon Democrats on Monday unveiled the details of their proposed cuts in pensions for retired government workers, leaning hardest on workers with larger retirement checks.
Public employee unions denounced the plan as illegal and irresponsible, and Republicans said it fell far short of what's needed to fix a pension system that's consuming an increasing share of tax dollars.
Democrats, who have majorities in the state House and Senate, said the plan would save state and local governments about $455 million over the next two years. That's less than competing proposals by the Oregon School Boards Association, legislative Republicans and Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber.
Democrats said their plan is more likely to stand up in court and is more equitable to low- and middle-income retirees. Legislative committees are scheduled to hear public testimony on their bill Wednesday.
Democrats say the cuts to the Public Employees Retirement System are needed to fund schools at their desired level, $6.75 billion.
"We're trying to both stabilize the PERS system and make sure we're taking care of our obligations to the next generation," said Rep. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland, the House's chief budget writer.
Public-employee unions responded fiercely, saying the proposal is an unconstitutional breach of a contract between the state and its workers. They say the pension system's unfunded liability is the result of investment losses during the Great Recession, and they want the state to go after bankers they blame for the losses.
The measure sticks closely to a framework Democrats outlined earlier this month. In addition to the $455 million that their proposal would save, Democrats want to push back $350 million in government pension contributions into future years.
Rep. Mike McLane of Powell Butte, the Republican leader, said that's "like skipping a credit card payment, which doesn't fix anything." The whole package falls short of helping state and local governments deal with the burden of pension payments, he said.
"How can any person call that a serious fix?" McLane said. "It's not serious, it's cosmetic."
Pension checks for retired government workers currently rise at a rate of 2 percent per year.
The Democratic proposal would create a new graduated scale. The first $20,000 would continue growing at 2 percent a year. The next $20,000 would grow at 1.5 percent a year, and the next $20,000 at 1 percent. Incomes above $60,000 would rise by 0.25 percent a year.
Their proposal also would also eliminate a tax break for retirees living out of state that's intended to make up for state income taxes.
On top of cutting pensions, Democrats are also pushing to raise more revenue from wealthy taxpayers by limiting tax credits and deductions, but they haven't spelled out their plan yet.
The bill is SB 822: http://bit.ly/14qxbRw .

So people who lost private retirement funds during the same recession are stuck with the losses, while the public employee unions expect the state to sue the banks on their behalf. It's all about me, me, me! Where is the 'fairness' in this scenario?
Here's an idea: Terminate every public contract and re-hire those who wish to continue employment with the government (with a sensible contract that disallows bending the rules to favor greater retirement payouts). Those who refuse to re-sign could find work in the private sector that the unions believe is so well-paying. This could also reduce the amount of overlapping duties by several agencies, which in turn would effectively reduce the labor costs.
The alternative seems to be unions draining the state funds until they are gone -- and when that occurs, contract or not, paychecks will cease. Breaking the state may not be the goal, but expecting gold-plated contracts with all the platinum bennys can only hasten the eventual overdraft.

Montee Ball, RB Wisconsin Why He Will Only Barry Sanders had ever put up the numbers Montee Ball accounted for last season, and that still wasn't enough for the Wisconsin running back to bring home the Heisman hardware. As the only returning finalist from 2011, he's one of the early favorites to make the New York trip again in 2012. If he can come even remotely close to replicating last year's success, he should be in consideration on numbers alone. What will put him over the top would be how far Wisconsin can go. Russell Wilson stole some of the spotlight from Ball last year, but now that Wilson is in the NFL, it'll be up to Ball to carry the Badgers to a national title game. He's well on his way to rewriting the college football record books, but it's hard to imagine his illustrious collegiate career being complete without its most prestigious award. Why He Won't History isn't on Ball's side. Since 1990, only two returning Heisman finalists have actually gone on to win the award the following year (Danny Wuerffel, 1996 and Ricky Williams, 1998), and just two of the last twelve winners was not a quarterback (Mark Ingram, 2009 and Reggie Bush, 2005*). He has the talent to be associated with the nation's best, but numbers alone do not a Heisman make. Denard Robinson, QB Michigan Why He Will As one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in college football, Robinson has the ability to beat you through the air or on the ground. In 2010, he became the first player in NCAA history to throw for 2,500 yards and rush for 1,500 yards in a single season. Those numbers dipped a bit last year, but it was also the Michigan signal caller's first season in Al Borges' system. With a firmer grasp on the offense in 2012, those numbers should go up and we could see Robinson accomplish things few others in FBS history have. Why He Won't The schedule isn't kind to the Wolverines this season. Robinson will be pitted against some of the top defenses in college football, with games against three top-10 defenses from a year ago in Alabama, Michigan State, and Illinois. Those opponents could capitalize on Robinsons' gunslinger mentality, and as the turnovers pile up his name will slide further and further down the ballot. Le'Von Bell, RB Michigan State Why He Will One of the best kept secrets in college football, Bell could be poised to have a monstrous junior campaign. He split carries with Edwin Baker last season, but will be the guy in an offense looking to lean heavily on the run in 2012. On just 182 carries, Bell scorched opposing defenses for 948 yards and 13 touchdowns. For a little perspective, Marcus Lattimore (widely regarded as one of the best running backs in the nation and a Heisman hopeful in his own right) ran for 818 yards and 10 touchdowns on 163 carries. If given a full workload it's tantalizing to think what Bell could accomplish, particularly with a Michigan State defense that could give him a lot of short fields to work with. Oh yeah, and the Spartans play both Michigan and Wisconsin this season, giving him the opportunity to outperform Heisman frontrunners Denard Robinson and Montee Ball. Why He Won't Kirk Cousins is gone, as are with the Spartans top three pass catchers from last season. While that means more carries for the talented back it also means defenses will be keying in on Bell. He's never had the pressure of running an offense or even the responsibility of being a feature running back. It remains to be seen how Bell will respond mentally to what's expected out of him this season.
Geno Smith, QB West Virginia Why He Will Geno Smith put up some astounding numbers last season, shredding the West Virginia record book to the tune of 4,300 yards and 31 touchdowns. Now, with a year's experience in head coach Dana Holgorsen's "Airraid" offense, there's reason to expect even more out of Smith in 2012. He'll have the weapons around him to get it done, too. The Mountaineers return two of the most talented receivers in the game, Tavon Austin and Stedman Baily, who accounted for nearly 2,500 yards and 20 touchdowns combined. Smith has the pieces in place and plays in the system that could see him put up even gaudier numbers this season. Why He Won't West Virginia is in a whole new ball game, coming from a Big East that sent four other teams to a bowl game last season to a Big 12 that sent eight. Smith will be up against a different level of competition, schools with better defenses that he's never faced before. The Mountaineers' regular season schedule has five preseason top-25 teams, and it'd be hard to give the Heisman to the quarterback of a team with two or more losses. And while Tavon Austin gives Smith one of the best weapons in the game to play with, the wide out has generated some Heisman buzz in his own right and could take some of the limelight away from his quarterback. Landry Jones, QB Oklahoma Why He Will As Oklahoma's all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns, Jones seemingly finds himself on this list every year. Coming into the 2011 season, Landry Jones was considered an early Heisman favorite after forgoing the NFL draft to play his junior year at Oklahoma. Despite 4,400 yards and 29 touchdowns, many thought he took a step back because he didn't win "the big ones." As a senior and four-year starter he'll be the unquestioned leader on a very good Oklahoma team that has depth and experience on the offensive line and at receiver. It's a period of transition in the Big 12, and Oklahoma has the steadiest footholds of any team in the conference. If Jones can lead the Sooners to a Big 12 championship and a possible BCS title berth, it'll be hard for voters to say no. Why He Won't Oklahoma looked lost without top receiver in Ryan Broyles last year, losing two of their final three regular season games after he went down with a torn ACL. Now that he's gone for good, will there be more chinks in Landry Jones' armor? How much of his success hinged on Broyles big play ability? In the four games without Broyles last season, the Sooner quarterback completed fewer than 60 percent of his passes, and threw six picks to just one touchdown. Those aren't Heisman-winning numbers. Collin Klein, QB Kansas State Why He Will In his first year as a starter, the "Tebow of the Midwest" accounted for 40 total touchdowns and an FBS quarterback record 27 scores on the ground. Despite the jaw-dropping rushing numbers, what really puts Klein in this group was how he developed in the pocket as the season progressed. He tossed a touchdown in each of the final five contests and totaled 926 yards through the air (as opposed to 992 yards over the first eight games). He's got a big, durable frame that enables him to be a physical runner and one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in college football if he takes even more steps forward as a passer this season. Why He Won't Klein carried the Wildcats' offense last season, literally. He had 317 carries on the season, third most in the FBS and 74 more carries than any other quarterback in college football. That workhorse type pounding is more than a signal caller should make, and Kansas State has made it clear they'll utilize the backs more in the ground game. While he did improve his air attack last season, he won't be able to put up the same kind of numbers some of the other quarterbacks in the running will.

- Love This! Review by Judy
Quality Value Price I tried glominerals other mascaras in the past. I loved that they are good for me. I loved that they look great on me. However, I constantly had a problem with smudging. While this isn't the most water resistant mascara in the world (hence the 4 stars instead of 5), it does give me the "is good for me, looks great on me" results I expect from glominerals without all the smudging! Thanks, glominerals!

- easy to remove Review by Lacey
Quality Value Price This mascara is the answer to what I have really hated about other water proof mascaras in the past. While it stays on all day long, it is still easily washable with facewash and warm water at the end of the day - no tugging or pulling on my eyelashes or around my eyes with this water resistant, not waterPROOF mascara.

Christ's resurrection made known the women. (1-8) Christ appears to Mary Magdalene and other disciples. (9-13) His commission to the apostles. (14-18) Christ's ascension. (19,20)
Verses 1-8 Nicodemus brought a large quantity of spices, but these good women did not think that enough. The respect others show to Christ, should not hinder us from showing our respect. And those who are carried by holy zeal, to seek Christ diligently, will find the difficulties in their way speedily vanish. When we put ourselves to trouble and expense, from love to Christ, we shall be accepted, though our endeavours are not successful. The sight of the angel might justly have encouraged them, but they were affrighted. Thus many times that which should be matter of comfort to us, through our own mistake, proves a terror to us. He was crucified, but he is glorified. He is risen, he is not here, not dead, but alive again; hereafter you will see him, but you may here see the place where he was laid. Thus seasonable comforts will be sent to those that lament after the Lord Jesus. Peter is particularly named, Tell Peter; it will be most welcome to him, for he is in sorrow for sin. A sight of Christ will be very welcome to a true penitent, and a true penitent is very welcome to a sight of Christ. The men ran with all the haste they could to the disciples; but disquieting fears often hinder us from doing that service to Christ and to the souls of men, which, if faith and the joy of faith were strong, we might do.
Verses 9-13 Better news cannot be brought to disciples in tears, than to tell them of Christ's resurrection. And we should study to comfort disciples that are mourners, by telling them whatever we have seen of Christ. It was a wise providence that the proofs of Christ's resurrection were given gradually, and admitted cautiously, that the assurance with which the apostles preached this doctrine afterwards might the more satisfy. Yet how slowly do we admit the consolations which the word of God holds forth! Therefore while Christ comforts his people, he often sees it needful to rebuke and correct them for hardness of heart in distrusting his promise, as well as in not obeying his holy precepts.
Verses 14-18 The evidences of the truth of the gospel are so full, that those who receive it not, may justly be upbraided with their unbelief. Our blessed Lord renewed his choice of the eleven as his apostles, and commissioned them to go into all the world, to preach his gospel to every creature. Only he that is a true Christian shall be saved through Christ. Simon Magus professed to believe, and was baptized, yet he was declared to be in the bonds of iniquity: see his history in ( Acts 8:13-25 ) . Doubtless this is a solemn declaration of that true faith which receives Christ in all his characters and offices, and for all the purposes of salvation, and which produces its right effect on the heart and life; not a mere assent, which is a dead faith, and cannot profit. The commission of Christ's ministers extends to every creature throughout the world, and the declarations of the gospel contain not only truths, encouragements, and precepts, but also most awful warnings. Observe what power the apostles should be endued with, for confirming the doctrine they were to preach. These were miracles to confirm the truth of the gospel, and means of spreading the gospel among nations that had not heard it.
Verses 19-20 After the Lord had spoken he went up into heaven. Sitting is a posture of rest, he had finished his work; and a posture of rule, he took possession of his kingdom. He sat at the right hand of God, which denotes his sovereign dignity and universal power. Whatever God does concerning us, gives to us, or accepts from us, it is by his Son. Now he is glorified with the glory he had before the world. The apostles went forth, and preached every where, far and near. Though the doctrine they preached was spiritual and heavenly, and directly contrary to the spirit and temper of the world; though it met with much opposition, and was wholly destitute of all worldly supports and advantages; yet in a few years the sound went forth unto the ends of the earth. Christ's ministers do not now need to work miracles to prove their message; the Scriptures are proved to be of Divine origin, and this renders those without excuse who reject or neglect them. The effects of the gospel, when faithfully preached, and truly believed, in changing the tempers and characters of mankind, form a constant proof, a miraculous proof, that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, of all who believe.
Mark 16:1-20 . ANGELIC ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE WOMEN ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, THAT CHRIST IS RISEN--HIS APPEARANCES AFTER HIS RESURRECTION--HIS ASCENSION--TRIUMPHANT PROCLAMATION OF HIS GOSPEL. ( = Matthew 28:1-10 Matthew 28:16-20 , Luke 24:1-51 , John 20:1 John 20:2 John 20:11-29 ).
The Resurrection Announced to the Women ( Mark 16:1-8 ).
1. when the sabbath was past--that is, at sunset of our Saturday.
Mary the mother of James--James the Less (see Mark 15:40 ).
and Salome--the mother of Zebedee's sons (compare Mark 15:40 with Matthew 27:56 ).
had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him--The word is simply "bought." But our translators are perhaps right in rendering it here "had bought," since it would appear, from Luke 23:56 , that they had purchased them immediately after the Crucifixion, on the Friday evening, during the short interval that remained to them before sunset, when the sabbath rest began; and that they had only deferred using them to anoint the body till the sabbath rest should be over. On this "anointing,"
2. very early in the
the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun--not quite literally, but "at earliest dawn"; according to a way of speaking not uncommon, and occurring sometimes in the Old Testament. Thus our Lord rose on the third day; having lain in the grave part of Friday, the whole of Saturday, and part of the following First day.
3. they said among themselves--as they were approaching the sacred spot.
Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? . . . for it was very great--On reaching it they find their difficulty gone--the stone already rolled away by an unseen hand. And are there no others who, when advancing to duty in the face of appalling difficulties, find their stone also rolled away?
5. entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man--In Matthew 28:2 he is called "the angel of the Lord"; but here he is described as he appeared to the eye, in the bloom of a life that knows no decay. In Matthew he is represented as sitting on the stone outside the sepulchre; but since even there he says, "Come, see the place where the Lord lay" ( Matthew 28:6 ), he seems, as ALFORD says, to have gone in with them from without; only awaiting their arrival to accompany them into the hallowed spot, and instruct them about it.
sitting on the right side--having respect to the position in which His Lord had lain there. This trait is peculiar to Mark; but compare Luke 1:11 .
clothed in a long white garment--On its length, see Isaiah 6:1 ; and on its whiteness,
and they were affrighted.
6. he saith unto them, Be not affrighted--a stronger word than "Fear not" in Matthew ( Matthew 28:5 ).
Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified!--"the Nazarene, the Crucified,"
he is risen; he is not
behold the place where they laid
7. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter--This Second Gospel, being drawn up--as all the earliest tradition states--under the eye of Peter, or from materials chiefly furnished by him, there is something deeply affecting in the preservation of this little phrase by Mark alone.
that he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he said unto
8. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre: for they trembled and were amazed--"for tremor and amazement seized them."
neither said they anything to any man; for they were afraid--How intensely natural and simple is this!
Appearances of Jesus after His Resurrection ( Mark 16:9-18 ).
9. Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils--There is some difficulty here, and different ways of removing it have been adopted. She had gone with the other women to the sepulchre ( Mark 16:1 ), parting from them, perhaps, before their interview with the angel, and on finding Peter and John she had come with them back to the spot; and it was at this second visit, it would seem, that Jesus appeared to this Mary, as detailed in John 20:11-18 . To a woman was this honor given to be the first that saw the risen Redeemer, and that woman was NOT his virgin-mother.
11. they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not--This, which is once and again repeated of them all, is most important in its bearing on their subsequent testimony to His resurrection at the risk of life itself.
12. After that he appeared in another form--(compare Luke 24:16 ).
unto two of them as they walked, and went into the country--The reference here, of course, is to His manifestation to the two disciples going to Emmaus, so exquisitely told by the Third Evangelist
13. they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them, &c.
15. he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every
16. He that believeth and is baptized--Baptism is here put for the external signature of the inner faith of the heart, just as "confessing with the mouth" is in Romans 10:10 ; and there also as here this outward manifestation, once mentioned as the proper fruit of faith, is not repeated in what follows ( Romans 10:11 ).
shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned--These awful issues of the reception or rejection of the Gospel, though often recorded in other connections, are given in this connection only by Mark.
17, 18. these signs shall follow them that believe . . . They shall take up serpents--These two verses also are peculiar to Mark.
The Ascension and Triumphant Proclamation of the Gospel Thereafter ( mark 16:19 mark 16:20 ).
19. So then after the Lord--an epithet applied to Jesus by this Evangelist only in mark 16:19 mark 16:20 , when He comes to His glorious Ascension and its subsequent fruits. It is most frequent in Luke.
had spoken unto them, he was received up into
and sat on the right hand of God--This great truth is here only related as a fact in the Gospel history. In that exalted attitude He appeared to Stephen ( Acts 7:55 Acts 7:56 ); and it is thereafter perpetually referred to as His proper condition in glory.
20. they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen--We have in this closing verse a most important link of connection with the Acts of the Apostles, where He who directed all the movements of the infant Church is perpetually styled "THE LORD"; thus illustrating His own promise for the rounding and building up of the Church, "LO, I AM WITH YOU alway!"

Tom Hanks Gossip
Tom Hanks gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The Matthew McConaughey theme song
Kevin Winter/ Christopher Polk/ Ethan Miller/ Getty
Alright, alright, alright… It's not really a song. But everyone seems to be singing it. And wanting to hear it. And we heard it last night when he won Best Drama Actor at Critics' Choice, presented by Jessica Chastain, who threw out an "alright, alright, alright" when she opened the envelope and announced his name. Full Story
Julia kept her shoes on
Charley Gallay/ Frazer Harrison/ Getty
Lately at award shows, Julia Roberts has been heading to the podium barefoot. At the Palm Springs Film Festival however, where she presented to her friend Tom Hanks, she kept them on. Maybe she thought those old ass Academy voters who live there would not have been impressed. Julia was with Tom Hanks that year at the Golden Globes, you remember?, when she gave us "WHO's NATALIE???" But she also caught up with her buddy Bradley Cooper. Full Story
Sandra Bullock is "over 40"
Chelsea Lauren/ Charley Gallay/ Michael Buckner/ Frazer Harrison/ Getty
There were some major players at the Palm Springs Film Festival this weekend. As Tom Hanks said at the event, "The holidays have come to an end but for some the celebrity mule train is just beginning". Oscar nominations voting ends on Wednesday (and will be announced next Thursday) and since many Oscar voters live in Palm Springs, it's always an opportunity for one last hustle to get their names on the ballot. Full Story
Tom Hanks wants that third Oscar
He must be thinking, "Daniel Day-Lewis has three. Why not me?" First in October, Tom Hanks has Paul Greengrass's Captain Phillips, about the Maersk Alabama's crew being taken hostage by Somali pirates, which is sure to be a tense and heroic turn for Hanks. And then in December he's starring as Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Full Story
Tom misses Nora
Do you? I do. Nora Ephron's Lucky Guy premiered on Broadway this week. Tom plays the lead Mike McAlary and, as you know, it's not the first time he's acted for Nora. We are all probably very familiar with all the other times he's acted for Nora. Understandably then, Tom was very emotional at curtain call the other night, telling Page Six while holding back tears that Full Story
Why trailers should not be so long
Cloud Atlas will premiere at TIFF. Have you read it? As I noted the other day - click here for a refresher - I was nervous about how it could be a film and at the same time, curious about how it would look as a film as imagined by the Wachowskis. Now an almost 6 minute trailer is online. Full Story
The Prince William of hip-hop
Stephen Lovekin/Rob Kim/Getty
Ok, not really. But check him out from the side in the first photo attached. Doesn't that look like Will Wales? It's obviously not Will Wales. This is Chet Haze. Or, rather, Chester Haze. Or, rather, Chester Hanks. The son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. Now, apparently, a smooth operating rapper? Please. Full Story
Sandy & the fastest man alive
SPW /Splash
Sandra Bullock and Usain Bolt were both at Mr Chow last night for dinner. Some people tried to suggest that it was a date. Apparently all they did was pose for a photo together inside. Hilarious, right? Let us not speak of what happened last month at the Worlds. Let's hope that doesn't happen at the Olympics. Full Story
True Blood Pacific
Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg produced another miniseries. The Pacific is a 10 part war epic that will air on HBO beginning March 14. To add star power to the event, HBO trotted out its True Blood stars: Stephen Moyer, Sam Trammell, Deborah Ann Woll, Ryan Kwanten, and Alexander Skarsgard who looks like he's had the hot sucked out of him by that starving twat Kate Bosworth. Full Story
Where The Wild Things Are – NY premiere
A star-studded carpet last night in New York. Oscar winners Tom Hanks, Forest Whitaker showed up to support alongside the film's stars Catherine Keener and Catherine O'Hara (love her so much), and young Max Records with Spike Jonze and Maurice Sendak. And oh yeah, Blake Lively too. Where The Wild Things Are marks the third time Jonze has directed a feature film. Full Story
A list at the beach
Are Tom Hanks's jeans too tight? I don't want Tom Hanks to be Tight Jeans Guy. Not his best moment. So apparently Joel Silver threw a Memorial Day party or something and a lot of famous people showed up including Tom and Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal. Hm. Jakey looks hot in that hat. Full Story
Monday Ewan
Can you think of a better way to wake up? It's Ewan McGregor in Rome with Tom Hanks and the cast of Angels & Demons beginning what's expected to be a big push promotional tour to compete for the box office during a very crowded May. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine just opened with impressive results, Star Trek is on the way, Angels is the week after followed by Terminator Salvation on the 21st. Full Story
It's about Julia when it's about Tom
Please. What did you expect? Even when she was PRESENTING AN OSCAR to Denzel Washington it was about her…I love my life! So it was no surprise then at the Tom Hanks tribute last night that she completely stole the show when she opened her goose mouth and cussed up a storm. "Alright well, it's late and I'm paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee. Full Story
Honouring Tom Hanks
Tonight in New York at the 36th Film Society of Lincoln Centre's Gala Tribute to Tom Hanks – some superstar arrivals. I love Tom Hanks. He's a good duck. And always a very great interview. My friend Gab and I were talking about this the other night while watching a rerun of Julia Roberts on Letterman. Full Story

I am an everyday wearer so I have to have more than one. I've noticed that on some the hair is very thin on the sides and back, whereas others are fine. I have to check them over because some areas aren't correctly sewn and would come apart without some work on my part. Need to improve quality control. Otherwise I love the style.

the sides were not uniform - had some clumps of thickness - has the manufacturer changed ? I have 2 others and they are perfect - this last one was not constructed well and I had to spend money at a hairdresser to straighten it out to make it wearable. I would not recommend this wig if the same manufacturer is going to start constructing them - the older ones were perfect and I love them.

ESPN Sunday Night Baseball
Baseball April 12th, 2010
Last night the Brewers made their first appearance of the season on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball and the announcing was... something. If you were at the game and you didn't have to listen to it consider yourself lucky because this was one of the worst Joe Morgan performances I've seen in a long time. Which is weird because someone opened a blog called "Fire Joe Morgan" about five years ago, you'd think we'd be used to it by now.
The thing about Joe Morgan is this isn't a pro/anti-sabermetrics thing. I don't really care if Joe Morgan knows about OPS or FIP or any of that stuff. Joe Morgan just doesn't analyze a baseball game correctly and often times comes off like a complete idiot who has never even watched the game. Again, weird considering he is in the Hall of Fame for playing baseball and has been announcing games since 1985.
Anyways, between Joe's ridiculous comments, the constant fellating of Albert Pujols and pro-Cardinals stance they took for the much of the game it was an interesting broadcast to say the least. Let's see if we can do it a little bit of justice.

Bach flower remedies is a system of 38 flower remedies that are said to correct emotional imbalances. Considered alternative medicine you can pick or choose what you like from this blog post but we thought it would be interesting to check out.
Doctor Bach(1886-1936), a British Doctor set out to research immunology but developed an interest in homeopathy and joined the laboratories of the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital in 1919. He felt dissatisfied with the way doctors were expected to concentrate on diseases rather than the people who were suffering them. Bach believed that illness is the effect of disharmony between body and mind and that symptoms of an illness are the external expression of negative emotional states.
In 1928 he began work on his own remedies made from plants and two years later at age forty-three he gave up his lucrative practice in London to pursue his vision. This boldness resulted in the 38 different types of Bach remedies. Each remedy is associated with a basic human emotion. Mimulus, for example, is the remedy for when we are anxious or afraid about something specific. Taking the remedy helps to overcome the fear and face it with courage.
The 38 different remedies and their bundled mixes are available in liquid form at most health stores, pharmacies and online. The Bach flower remedy most people know is arnica, a plant from the sunflower family, used to treat bruising, muscular strains, wounds and swelling.
The bundled mixes of remedies commonly y known as "Rescue Remedies" such as Rescue Sleep and the standard rescue remedy for stress and emotional imbalance are fairly well-known in Australia.
Rescue sleep is said to calm your restless mind providing natural relief of occasional sleeplessness caused by stress and repetitive thoughts. Active ingredients in the rescue sleep product include white chestnut to help ease a restless mind, star of Bethlehem for trauma and shock, clematis for the tendendency to pass out, cherry plum for fear of mind giving way or anger, impatiens for irritability and tension and finally rock rose for frozen terror and panic.
The standard rescue remedy is also a combination of 5 Bach flower remedies. Allegedly, beneficial when you find yourself in traumatic situations, such as, emergencies, after getting bad news, feeling impatient and irritated, feeling tension and pressure, before an exam or job interview and all other kind of situations where you find you lose balance mentally.
Rescue remedy is said to help you to relax, get focused and get the needed calmness. Dr Oz recommends rescue remedy for stress and it has been endorsed by many celebrities such as Jennifer Anniston, Selma Hyak, Cate Blanchett, Martha Stewart and Van Morrison. We're not saying you should try it because the celebrities' do we are just showing that it is not a product only used by alternative medicine or homeopathy supporters.
Although homeopathy has recently been slammed as scientifically implausible and theoretically week in recent media reports by the Sydney Morning Herald and other major metropolitan newspapers. However a draft statement by Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council said homeopathy which uses a large range of animal, plant and mineral products should not be confused with herbal remedies.
At the end of the day you are free to make up your own mind on whether you take homeopathic medicines or not. We just like to educate you on what is out there in the healthcare world so you are better informed to make decisions about your own health.

I was thinking about how the germans used psicological warfare and it got me pondering about implementing some kid of point system for civilians.
Here are some ideas for warfare:
After choosing the scenario, you could then choose what part of the world you fight in. The player with the army of the scenario then puts civilians inside structures or in the field. These civilians want to get away, protect their family, protect their country or join the invading army.
The nationality of civilians would affect the reaction from civilians. The reactions could be like screaming, being scared or attacking the unit. That would make the same effect as supression.
The civilian damage:
The player who puts civilian miniatures should throw a number of dices. The hits would make that number of civilians potentialy harmful for the invading army.
Example #1: The Allied army enters a house to get cover or to attack from safe cover. A civilian or a group is inside. The allies have to do a saving throw to shut them up if there are some enemy units up close- lets say 14 inches instead of 12. If the throw fails, the enemy gets to react to the allied army inside. This would be a bonus for the enemy for the failed saving throw.
Example #2: The allied army enters a house to take cover and they are no enemy units around. Entering they find a loyalist or someone protecting his family. The allied has to make a saving throw and if it fails the civilian shoots or stabs one soldier in the unit killing it and leaving the allied with 4 soldiers.
Example #3: Recistance- The Allies enter and find someone who want to join the fight. You then make a throw to check if the civilian looks like he can handle himself or if he will be of no use. If succesful, this gives you a +1 on health and an extra soldier with one weapon of your choice from the enemy arsenal.
Example #4: Nothing happends.
Example #5: Resistance recon- Give you an artillery attack on the enemy If you have the nesesary weapons at the moment. Its like the civilian knows the location of a statonary mech or unit.
Getting civilians to safety could give the army that rescues them extra VP's.
Im trying to figure out the rest. Feel free to add advice. I will be trying this next week.

Reining in Wall Street
STANDING UP AGAINST THE BIG BANKS AND WALL STREET—For more than 20 years, Consumer Program Director Ed Mierzwinski has helped us stand up against big banks and credit card companies.
Consumers shouldn't have to worry that their financial institutions are ripping them off, or using tricks and schemes to squeeze money out of them.
Yet for years, federal bank regulators ignored numerous warnings of increasingly predatory mortgage practices, credit card tricks, and unfair overdraft policies used by the big Wall Street banks. They also ignored warnings of risky securities being packaged and sold to investors. In the wake of the resulting financial crisis, U.S. PIRG fought for and successfully urged passage of a strong 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Since winning federal Wall Street reform, we've worked to defend those reforms from the industry's attempts to defang, defund or delay them. In particular, since it began work in July 2011, we've had to defend the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the first federal financial agency with just one job: protecting consumers. However, it took another two-year fight against the opponents of the CFPB to convince the Senate to confirm Bureau's director, Richard Cordray, to a full five-year term. The Senate finally confirmed Cordray in July 2012, eliminating any uncertainty over the CFPB's authority over credit bureaus, payday lenders and other non-bank firms.
The CFPB - in many ways the centerpiece of the broader 2010 Wall Street reforms - has already succeeded in protecting consumers, from students and soldiers to seniors and homeowners. Among the CFPB's successes have been its new regulation of the mortgage markets, its creation of a publicly-available consumer complaint database, and its investigations of the big credit bureaus. The CFPB has also made banks and credit card companies return nearly half a billion dollars to consumers who were treated unfairly.
Yet consumers, taxpayers and investors still face big risks in the financial marketplace. Big banks are allowed to make risky bets with our money, many financial institutions are still finding ways to unfairly squeeze money out of their customers, and financial industry practices still pose risks to the financial system. So in addition to defending the CFPB, we are working to protect investors, taxpayers and the financial system itself:
- We're supporting a requirement called the Volcker Rule which would prevent big banks from using their "own" money, which includes depositor funds, to place risky bets.
- We're urging the Commodity Futures Trading Commission not to allow the big banks to hide their reckless financial bets offshore the way that AIG and JP Morgan's London Whale did.
- We're backing Securities and Exchange Commission rules to require that all public companies, including banks, publish the ratio of compensation between their CEO and their middle-level employees.
In short, we're building a financial regulatory system that guarantees that consumers and taxpayers are protected from predatory practices. And we're fighting to give consumers a seat at the table when it comes to oversight of the nation's financial system.

I've always been of the opinion that traditional razors give a better shave than electric razors. However, after having a heart attack last week, I've been put on warfarin (coumadin), a blood thinner, and now need to find a shaving method that will not cut me the way regular razors sometimes do. I've been told that electric razors fit that bill. I'd be much obliged to get some cool recommendations. asked Jul 31 '11 at 06:29 Josh Simons |
I've been using the Panasonic Arc IV for about six months. Before that I had used a blade for a year after growing frustrated with my older electric, a Braun. The Arc IV is awesome. Used dry, it's better than any other electric I had used in the past. Used wet, it's nearly as smooth as shaving twice with a blade (to get my smoothest shave with a blade, I always had to shave once down, relather, and once up). It's much smoother than shaving once with a blade, and far smoother than any other electric dry. It's much less likely to nick, and I seem less prone to bumps. I shave in the shower. My process is to wash my face in hot water. I then apply conditioner (Trader Joe's hair conditioner with tea tree oil) and let it sit for a minute. I rinse that, apply shaving cream, and shave. It's a great, smooth shave every time. I couldn't part with it. It's the first home shaving experience in my 22 years of shaving that's left me truly pleased. linkanswered Aug 02 '11 at 07:19 Nick Curran |
I have a Panasonic travel electric razor that does quite well enough. Use it regularly to get a fully presentable shave. I've never managed to cut myself with it. This particular model (ES3831) is very inexpensive, uses two AA batteries (pretty good life), and is waterproof enough to use in the shower. Got it at Walmart online for less than $15 delivered. Fry's also sells it in store for about the same price. linkanswered Aug 01 '11 at 23:19 |
I have an older Braun, a 7505, that I have used for over 10 years, and I am completely satisfied with it's performance. I do replace the cutter head, and foil(they come packaged together, I found mine at target), about every 3-4 years, and it gives an almost blade-like shave consistently, without cuts, or burns. I'm sure the new models are just as capable, and probably have improvements. If my razor ever does quit working, I will have no qualms about purchasing another Braun to replace it. linkanswered Aug 01 '11 at 15:30 Blair |
I've since switched back to blades, but I had great luck for many years with a series of Panasonic wet/dry shavers. I generally shaved in the shower, with a little shave gel. I can't recall EVER getting cut, even a nick. I never bothered with the pivoting heads -- but I did like the triple blade one with the pop-up trimmer. Also, if you're switching from a blade to electric (or vice-versa), give your beard about a month to "train" itself. Don't make a call about what's smoother after just a week. linkanswered Aug 01 '11 at 13:47 aweiss |
The panasonic foil types are amazing - I've tried the braun/norelcos and the panasonic is my hands down favorite. The fact that it moves the blades so quickly really makes it pain-free and easy to shave. Some models (like the one I have) are also waterproof so you can use it in the shower. Personally, I think I can get a shave as close with an electric as i can with a traditional - maybe takes a bit longer. (see this for an example: http://goo.gl/XspV4) linkanswered Aug 01 '11 at 12:28 |
I've never gotten cut with my Braun Series 5 razor, and I have sensitive skin. The self-cleaning system is great too. I've had it for about 3 years. linkanswered Aug 01 '11 at 12:23 GotMigs |
I use a Norelco Sensotouch Electric Razor 1280X that I purchased via woot. It isn't perfect, but it is pretty good. I have little to no issue with cuts, only occurring if I go too fast and push into my skin too hard. My main complaint is that there seem to be certain hairs on my face that is just does not want to cut, especially along the jaw line. That said I like that I can use it wet or dry and that I only need to spend a few minutes each morning to get a decent shave. I doubt it will ever be good as a normal blade, but the time saved has been worth the switch. linkanswered Aug 01 '11 at 12:17 Charrles |

WASHINGTON - U.S. authorities are pledging to eventually produce enough swine flu vaccine for everyone but the shots couldn't begin until fall at the earliest.
Worries about the spread of the virus mounted Thursday as the nation's swine flu caseload passed 100, and nearly 300 schools closed in communities across the country. Federal officials had to spend much of the day reassuring the public it's still safe to fly and ride public transportation after Vice President Joe Biden said he wouldn't recommend it to his family.
BALTIMORE (AP) - More than 1,000 people were defrauded out of about $70 million by a group advertising the dream of homeownership in what turned out to be a nightmare Ponzi scheme, federal and Maryland officials said Monday.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Confirming at least 40 cases of swine flu in the U.S., the Obama administration said Monday it was responding aggressively as if the outbreak would spread into a full pandemic. Officials urged Americans against most travel to Mexico as the virus that began there spread to the United States and beyond.
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - A University of Georgia professor suspected of killing his wife and two other men outside a community theater has a plane ticket to fly to the Netherlands later this week and left behind an empty passport wallet, federal authorities said Monday.
ATLANTA (AP) - Yet another prominent Georgia Republican has decided he won't run for governor in 2010.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is pushing to rein in costs for millions of Americans who use credit cards, an appeal to consumers as many struggle to pay their bills.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Wading into the politically charged immigration debate, a group of colleges and universities is urging Congress to give illegal immigrants tuition aid and a path to citizenship in light of efforts in several states to block them.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner defended the bank rescue program devised by the Obama administration Tuesday as the International Monetary Fund predicted U.S. financial institutions could lose $2.7 trillion from the global credit crisis.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A line of storms swept across the Southeast with 70 mph winds and possible tornadoes, killing two people in their mobile homes in north Alabama, authorities said Monday.
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - Attorneys for Imperial Sugar say a whistleblower faked a report that he says warned company executives of explosive dust hazards days before a deadly blast at the company's sugar refinery near Savannah.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of people receiving jobless benefits exceeded 6 million for the first time, the government reported Thursday, and housing construction unexpectedly plunged to its second-lowest level on record - fresh evidence that the recession is far from over.
ATLANTA - Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle fought back tears Wednesday as he reluctantly dropped out of the race for governor, saying he has a degenerative spine condition that will require surgery.
The surprise announcement immediately scrambled the crowded contest to replace Gov. Sonny Perdue when his second term expires in 2010. Cagle was considered a front-runner for the Republican nomination with the primary still more than one year away. The 43-year-old Republican from Gainesville said he will seek re-election as lieutenant governor.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite the dismal economy, motorists may want to take to the road this summer. The federal government says gasoline prices are expected to stay relatively low.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Retail sales fell unexpectedly in March, delivering a setback to hopes that the economy's steep slide could be bottoming out.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama promised Monday that the U.S. would seek to halt the increasing threat of piracy off the Horn of Africa.
The European Bank's announcement that it will purchase billions of dollars worth of bonds from other banks has clear implications for Europeans, but what does it mean for the average American family and consumer?
If you want to buy a Bible, it'll cost you $14.95 on Amazon. But be cautious — the price could change in the next few months.

Will the library have tax forms?
The answer is yes . . . and no. Paris Public Library's supply of paper forms will be very limited this year. The paper forms we have now are on the spinner rack near the desk.
Libraries in the IRS Tax Forms Outlet Program were notified that IRS appropriations were significantly cut in the 2015 Omnibus Appropriations bill passed by Congress. This will reduce the tax forms provided to libraries. We will receive only 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ forms. The IRS will not provide libraries with paper copies of instruction booklets. 1040A and 1040EZ are expected to arrive by early February.
Federal tax forms and instructions are posted at IRS.gov. The IRS recommends filing online, printing needed forms and instructions from IRS.gov, or ordering paper copies to be mailed to you. Go to IRS.gov/orderforms to order online or call 1-800-829-3676. According to the IRS, you may order up to 10 different forms and publications to complete your tax return; instructions are automatically included with your order.
On January 26, we received one box of IL1040 forms and instruction booklets from the State of Illinois. You can also call the state's 24-hour Forms Order Line 1-800-356-6302. Illinois tax forms are posted at Illinois Department of Revenue and filing online is also an option. If you live in Illinois, but work in Indiana, visit Indiana Department of Revenue for their nonresident tax form, too.
Library staff will print tax forms from the Internet at no charge, but we will have to charge to print instructions.
Getting started with library ebooks and e-audiobooks
Paris Public Library offers ebooks and e-audiobooks through two separate collections, MyMediaMall and 3M Cloud Library. All you need is a valid library card and a device compatible with one or both of the options.
MyMediaMall will work with most devices, from basic Kindles and ereaders (with a computer) to smartphones and tablets (using the Overdrive app).
3M Cloud Library is easier to use, with more than 10,000 items, including e-audiobooks. The wait for holds is usually shorter than MyMediaMall because only Illinois Heartland Library System libraries participate. It will work with most devices, except basic Kindles. You can find 3M titles in the 3M Cloud app or through the SHARE catalog, then read them in the app.
For details about setting up your device and downloading books, see our newly revised instructions for your device below. Brochures are also available at the library.
tablets and smartphones
Kindles see also how to install the new Kindle Fire app at the 3M site
basic ereaders
There is also a general troubleshooting guide for 3M Cloud Library.
Storyhour returns in March
Spring storyhours will begin March 4 and continue through April 22. There will be a break coinciding with the school spring break.
Storyhour is a weekly program of stories, songs, and simple crafts for children ages 3, 4, and 5. It meets on Wednesday mornings, 10:30-11:15.
If your child attended the Fall storyhour sessions, he or she is already registered for the spring sessions. If your child didn't attend the fall storyhours, please call 463-3950 to sign up before March 4.
Book club, anyone?
Would you like to be part of a book club at the library?
A volunteer is interested in forming a book club that would meet on a regular basis to discuss books; she's thinking at 5pm (or a little later) on a Tuesday or Thursday once a month.
If you're interested and want to want to know more, please call the library at 463-3950, email, or leave your name and contact information with a librarian.
Wabash Valley Community Read is coming
Paris Public Library will again be part of the Wabash Valley Community Read, organized by Vigo County Public Library. This year's book is True Grit, by Charles Portis. There will be events related to the book in several libraries in the Wabash Valley area.
Look for more information in February, but here's a peek at what's scheduled in Paris: the annual book sale on the first Saturday of March, a program on early gunsmiths of Edgar County, and a book discussion.
Help the library when shopping at Amazon.com
At no extra cost to you, shopping at Amazon.com can help Paris Public Library. We receive a small percentage of your purchase price when you begin your Amazon shopping at a special link.
We benefit when you buy books, movies, CDs . . . basically anything you buy at Amazon. It's easy and it's anonymous. We will not see your name or personal information.
