Our project motto: 'A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom" (Robert Frost ). Poetry is a necessary medium for people to communicate, to promote their creativity, to explore themselves and express their feelings and emotions. Therefore, poetry can motivate students and present a wide range of learning opportunities. Through the "Young Poets Society" project, students from Greece, Poland and Romania will exchange poems of great poets of their countries, explore their characteristics and finally, they will cooperate to write their own poems using various structures and styles (haiku, cinquain, quatrain, sensory-emotion poems, couplets, diamonte poems, limericks, shape poems, tanka, ballad, and free verse poems). All these poems will be illustrated with the students own drawings and, finally, they will be included in an e-book under the title "Young Poets Society: Collection of Poems". Students will also use their poems creatively to make their own video or audio files, dramatize them or make them into songs. All this material will be hosted in a blog specially designed for this project.
Our Young Poets' creative ideas never end! Andrei from Romania, chose "Thanasis' Wonderful World" poem, written by Thanasis Theoharis from Greece, added music and beautiful photos and made it into a video!
A video made by Andrea Ivanescu and her mates Andreea Pavel and Valentina Sociu from Romania, based on the poem written by Dolgira Eleni from Greece:) We hope you`ll like it.
Camelia and Stefana from Romania made a video for the poem "Eleni's wonderful world" written by Eleni Dolgira from Greece. We hope you'll enjoy it!

Aer Arann is to change its corporate name to Stobart Air, the airline announced today.
The transition to its new corporate name will be completed by the end of this year, and marks the conclusion of the first phase of the airline's 'new beginning' strategy.
The airline will continue to operate under the Aer Lingus Regional brand as part of its franchise agreement with Aer Lingus. Stobart Air's Irish operations will continue to be based at Northwood, Santry, next to Dublin Airport.
The next phase of its strategy will focus on additional franchise partnerships; leveraging its connection with London Southend Airport; and advancing growth with its other airport partners, including Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports.
Stobart Air aims to become a specialist in franchise or contract flying for major European airlines, and to double its passenger numbers within five years.
Developments at the airline over the past year include:
Stobart Group has repositioned itself as an Infrastructure and Support Services Group. Its aviation assets comprise London Southend Airport; Carlisle Lake District Airport; Stobart Air; plus air freight, maintenance and airport services.
EasyJet, Thomson and First Choice operate services at London Southend Airport, which was recently recognised as the best airport for customer experience by Which? Magazine. London Southend Airport saw a 57.1% increase in its passenger numbers from 2012 to 2013, making it the fastest growing airport in Europe.
Stobart Group first acquired a shareholding in Aer Arann in 2010 following the airline's examinership, and is the airline's largest shareholder.
Commenting on the corporate name change, Sean Brogan, Interim Chief Executive, Stobart Air said:
'Today, we operate 27 routes across Ireland, UK and France, with over 1.2 million annual passengers. Changing the corporate name is the next step in achieving our ambition to further expand our operations. Stobart Air positions the airline to explore new opportunities and add to our franchise network, particularly in the UK and mainland Europe.'
Andrew Tinkler, Chief Executive, Stobart Group said:
'This is the next phase in developing the value of our aviation assets and investments. The transition of Aer Arann to Stobart Air is a natural progression in the development of our airline investment. The combination of the Stobart Air franchise model and London Southend Airport has performed to date, as demonstrated by Aer Lingus Regional. We look forward to further growth in the period ahead.'

MALE - A proposed bill requiring political parties in the Maldives to have a minimum number of registered members is drawing fire as an attempt to dissolve the country's only Islamic party.
This is a big political and legal challenge [they] placed before Adhaalath Party, party leader Sheikh Imran Abdulla told Minivan News on Sunday, December 30.
The way the political sphere in the country is shaped today, it is very important for a political party like Adhaalath Party to exist.
The parliament passed Thursday a bill that requires political parties to have a minimum of 10,000 registered members.
A clear majority voted in favor of requiring parties to gain 5000 members before it can be officially registered and 10,000 members before becoming eligible for state funds, said Kutti Nasheed, the head of the Independent Institutions Committee.
When the law is passed, the current registered parties with less than 5,000 members would be given a six month period to reach the figure, he said.
If a party fails to reach that figure by the end of the period, the particular party would be dissolved.
The minimum number of members was later raised to 10,000 and the period shortened to three months before Thursday's vote.
If the bill is signed into law, parties without 10,000 members would have three months to reach the legally required number or face being dissolved.
Imran said a person with a brain would not deny that the decision was made because Adhaalath Party would be disqualified at that number.
He argued that bill was intended to eradicate Islamic ideology from Maldivian politics and defeat the party's efforts to oppose alleged attempts to secularize the country.
There are 16 registered parties in the Maldives.
Silencing Islamists
The Islamic party insisted that the new bill is meant to silence the religious conservative party due to its efforts on behalf of Islam in recent years.
Religion and politics cannot be separated, Sheikh Ilyas Hussain, head of the party's religious scholars council, wrote in response to a question regarding the Shari`ah judgment on signing for Adhaalath Party.
Calls by some secular individuals to separate religion and politics are dangerous.
Their [secular individuals'] intention is for religious scholars to not criticize any affairs of state and just stay in mosques praying and giving religious advice, he wrote, adding that it was compulsory upon all Muslims to enjoin good and forbid evil.
Sheikh Hussain argued that efforts to get rid of Adhaalath Party were intended to erase Islam from the Maldives and spread secular activities in society.
Adhaalath Party is the only party formed to protect religion in the country. To say that all other political parties were formed for worldly purposes would not be demeaning them, he said.
A religious political party in the Maldives was therefore necessary and obligatory, he contended.
Echoing a similar belief, Housing Minister Dr Mohamed Muiz said the membership clause was intended to get rid of the religious party due to its efforts on behalf of Islam.
He referred to the party's successful campaign against proposed regulations to authorize sale of alcohol in city hotels as well as its opposition to making Dhivehi and Islam non-compulsory subjects in higher secondary education.
The party also put a stop to former President Mohamed Nasheed's attempts to strengthen ties with Israel and bring Jews to allow them to exert influence in the country, he said.
Muiz, who also serves as the Adhaalath Party's secretary general, called on all citizens who love Islam to sign up for the party.
According to CIA factbook, the Maldives, a country of 1,192 Indian Ocean islands scattered across the equator, has a population of 394,999 based on a July 2011 census.Islam is the official religion of the country with almost 100 percent of its residents are practicing Muslims.

I have mixed emotions about this product. I bought Suede and although it's not bad, it's definitely fallible. Then again, I've yet to come across a lip gloss that isn't. It goes on like a gloss but the texture turns more cream-like once it sets in. I love the clever brush/applicator with semi pointed tip for easier application on all parts of the lip. What I dislike is how the product "gathers" or clumps mid lip after 20-35 minutes, leaving a distinct line. I do prep my lips by ex foliating and applying a wax based balm before applying gloss, and the problem occurs with and without lip liner. It's a shame because the Suede color is really nice. I wanted to give the product a 4 but can't do so with a clean conscious.
I am usually a high-end snob and I usually do not enjoy any long-wearing product but as I just purchased my 3rd and 4th of these glosses, I felt the need to chime in with a review.
I have Sangria and Raisin and just bought Truffle and Fiery.
I have very dry lips and all lip products wear off VERY fast on me. These glosses do not dry me out NEARLY as much as any other long-wearing lip product I have ever tried. The color lasts longer than the shine, but it sure does last. I can put it on in a hurry at work and if I glance at myself in a mirror hours later, I still look like I have some color on my lips and they aren't chapped. Works for me! I only wish they were packaged a little smaller and there were more pigmented colors.

I was pleasantly surprised by this product. I bought 2 colors (Sangria and Raisin) and both colors are very nice with subtle shimmer. The smell/taste is much improved from the last time I bought a L'Oreal lip product. I love the applicator, it is way more accurate when doing my top lip and it covers my whole bottom lip in one stroke.
All those good things aside, it's definitely not a 6-hour lip gloss. It lasts longer than most lip glosses but it's not 6 hours. When it wears off it doesn't leave a lip line like most long-wearing lipsticks do so that was a plus. I layer it over lipsense and the 2 together can get me through AM through lunch without touchups.
I would definitely buy this product again, especially when theyre on sale at CVS. I have spent way more on a lipgloss and not liked them nearly as much.
One thing that baffles me is that the top of the cap is a mirror. Yet you have to use the top to apply it so you can't look in the mirror and use the product at the same time. No biggie, I always have another mirror with me but when there's a little label saying "Mirror on cap" it seems like they would make it useable.
I was in need of a new lip gloss and this was on sale so I decided to give it a try. I got Raisin & Barely Nude. I didn't notice at the store that the glosses weren't even sealed so when I got home I was a bit shocked. On the 1st day I didn't really have any problems with it. I would say it lasted for about maybe 3 hours tops( I usually reapply after my lunch). On the 2nd day I began to notice it was sticky which annoyed me and I learned if you don't wait until it does dry on yours lips it does come off. I probably did wait a few minutes before I got thirsty and I saw I had lip marks on my cup. Then on the 3rd day I noticed my lips were started to get chapped. Which usually doesn't happen to me. I tend to get chapped lips when it's cold in the fall & winter not in the spring or summer. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and still dislike the stickiness. Honestly I'm debating about tossing the glosses all together because I hate the feel of it on my lips.

I purchased this product from the recommendation of my BF who is a make-up artist. I told her I was at the drugstore and looking for a good neutral gloss she recommend I try Infallible in 815-Barely Nude. She said this gloss photographs well and looks good on most skin tones.
Im glad I picked it up - I am very pleased with this gloss. Im a matte girl myself, and this gloss is something I normally can not tolerate. I hate the slippery, wet glosses that bleed all over my face and this surely isnt one of those types of glosses. Yes, it is a bit sticky when compared to most sheer glosses, but it must be heavier in order to have some staying power.
This gloss will last me through my morning coffee and my gym workout. I do not have any caking issues, but I do suggest removing it completely before reapplying. It also does not last through eating and will feel gross until you remove it, so I recommended clean reapplication after eating. The oils in foods and some drinks will make it feel separated and very sticky so be cautious of food and drink when wearing this gloss. But since I do water with a straw it does great for me!
I would recommend this project to anyone who prefers matte lipsticks.

Of course the lip gloss is sticky and sticks to your hair if the wind blows, they all do that to me.
That said, this is a pretty good gloss. It lasted about 4 hours on me with fading to a lighter color. I think the applicator is easy as it covers my entire lips with a swoop on each one. I wish it did have SPF in it since it does last a long time on my lips.
Update: Just tried new "8 hour"--doesn't last any longer but what a great color selection! Cherry Crush can be a hint of red or a bright slightly rusty juicy red! LOVE IT!!
This could quite possibly be the worst lipgloss I have ever tried. I bought the color Bloom, a pretty light pink shade with shimmer, and when I got home I noticed that this particular L'Oreal product does not come sealed with a shrink-overwrap. So it's not even possible to know if someone has swatched it. I pulled the wand out and was very disappointed to see that slanted doe-foot applicator. It is the reason I did not like the new Lancome glosses that have that same applicator. It took me three or four 'dips' into the gloss to get enough of this Infallible to cover my lips! Within minutes it felt so uncomfortably sticky that I wanted to remove it. I left it on, though, to see if it would really last the 6 hours it promises. I could barely stand the sticky feel, as if my lips were sticking together! A quick check in the mirror showed it migrating to the corners of my lips and caking there. I dabbed with a tissue and eww, the tissue was sticking to my lips!
Needless to say, I returned the gloss to the drugstore where I had purchased it.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Looked great and felt great when first put on... THEN it got so sticky and tacky that it felt like glue. My hair blew over my face and it stuck on my lips. Too bad.. it was great the first 5 minutes. I also don't know why Loreal uses such a strong fragrance thats almost perfumey on their lip products. Last thing i want to taste on my mouth is perfume. I hate tacky sticky lip glosses so I won't be wearing this again.
Love this product, so much so I bought three. The colors are beautiful in that they are more of a sheer tinted gloss which is very appealing to me (don't see my lips coming a mile away). The slanted applicator is great and very easy to use. There is no smell to this product and there is no burning sensation. Although I can not honestly say that it lasts six hours, it DOES last longer than most glosses without leaving a ring around the outside of the lips as it fades. Very pleased with this product.
I'm always hesitant at buying long lasting lip sticks or glosses. They totally dry out your lips and leave you with flakies. Although my lips didn't dry out, this gloss is still a total waste of money. It did NOT last even close to 6 hours! I put it on and figured I should probably avoid smacking my lips... after about an hour and a half I drank out of a straw and game over. It has a thick, sticky consistency, my hair kept sticking... I really hate that! The colors are pretty and look better on me if they're topped over lipstick. I'll probably give the two I bought away and never repurchase.

Don't plan on sanding before painting and then resanding to refinish, you'd be using up two of only the three to four posible sandings you can do to a floor before it needs to be replaced. I forget how low long you have been in your house? Not long, IIRC. Floors are not your main problem at this stage. If this is your first winter you may be surprised at how wide the gaps between the boards become when the full dryness sets in. A useful thing to do when the cracks are really wide is get them cleaned out. I use old credit cards and other plastic lades and a good vacuum cleaner. Once they are clean - keep up with aggressive cleaning and then once the cracks close again in the summer you can consider some other things to make the floors look nicer. (You want the cracks clean and free of debris which will interfere with some light-duty treatments. The first thing I'd do is actually wash the floors. Yup, with water and soap (preferraly not Murphy's). Obviously not a lot of water, with very thorough rinsing (I know that's a contradiction but you can rinse with multiple, immediately wiped up applications) and hand drying. You will be shocked at how much dirt is on them. It may raise the grain a bit but don't worry about that. Do this when the cleaned cracks have reclosed and on warm dryish days, vent well. Also test in inconspicuous places what kind of finish is there now: varnish (soluble in paint thinner) or shellac (soluble in alcohol). Maybe both on the same floor, but different layers. Once you have studied the floors and the finishes you can think about what to do. One option maybe removing the old stains from the edges, and lightly sanding/screening. Painting is forever because you can rarely remove all the paint w/o reducing the thickness irreparably. Staining may be better, but the fact is that without going down to bare wood (and removing all trace of the much-valued patina of old wood) you're likely to have a blotchy floor as different areas will take the stain more or less well. There are some techniques of screening, lightly sanding and even hand scraping (that's how the floors were smoothed efore the advent of floor machines) that can help rejuvenate old floors. Keep them as possibilities, both for DIY and hired work. You also must eventually make a decision about the finish. I'm not sure you can find old-fashioned non-poly varnish any more. You can still buy shellac and there's lots to be said for it, although it can't take water. (You can wax it, though.) Meanwhile don't apply paste wax to unfinished floors as that will render them permanently unable to take any poly finishes. The same may be true for simple oil (linseed or citrus) finishes to some degree. You are ahead of the game in realizing that not all wood floors are hardwood. The old wide board pine, while very hardened by now - and probably originally harder than pine available today - is still a challenge for poly finishes. Maple and oak take poly much better. Painting is not a bad choice if that's your permanent solution. But it's not good as an interim stage en route to a clear finish because of the extreme difficulty of fully removing it. If you're getting splinters then going over the floor with a sanding block or sponge may be a good idea, especially after you've washed it. Sorry I have raised more questions than I've answered, but floors take a lot of study and thought. HTH, L. cvb |

Yes you are right we have only been in the house a little while about 6 months. This is not the top thing on our to do list, however it is rather annoying to be always getting splinters simply walking or playing on the floors in our house. So I will give the good washing and sanding block a try. The sanding we would need to do to paint would be very light, just enough to rough up the paint that is there to take paint, not really enough to remove wood. Regarding the gaps, they do not seem to go away. We moved in in the hot humid summer and still had big gaps. I will go to town cleaning them well though and giving the floors a good going over. If not murphey's oil soap what would you recommend. That is what I always used to use, then I switched to Method's good for wood... but am now pretty keen on simplifying what we use for cleaning supplies and making my own... so yeah. There is so much conflicting opinions/recommendations on the internet about cleaning wood floors you would think we have not have wood floors around us for long ;) So I really appreciate your comments. For hand scraping and screening is it the kind of thing that could be done slowly room by room? My real goal (for the whole house really) is to get a sense of where we want to go on some of these things so that each time we need to make a decision we are moving in the right direction and not making things harder later, and if possible getting us closer to our goal. I realize that is both impossible (we know to be flexible about decisions) and vague. There are immediate issues we need to deal with health & Safety (electrical), winterizing, mechanical ect. but then there are idiosyncrasies of the house which I know will not work for our family long term (these are changes PO have made to the house) so while we are getting use to living in it and dealing with what we need for now we are trying to get a rough sense of where we want to go. It helps make some decisions easier now. Hence the premature obsession about the floors :) Thank you for your response. The more questions raised is better, I was posting here hoping for more information that I had been able to gather on my own :) |
ok i tested a little :) The lighter brown stuff came off with nail polish remover and there are actually two different coats there one simply disolved and wiped away, and one came off a bit with rubbing and was tacky. Then there was the dark brown hard as nail shiny stuff. It maybe dimmed it. So I am thinking the dark brown is either varnish or paint will look for some paint thinner to test it later. Only one room is mostly untreated, the rest are covered with varying degrees of chipping of the hard stuff.... and then I spent the day searching for forums for flooring posts and my brain oozed out of my head :) |

I realized after I posted that I just added more issues to think about; but you are correct there are tons of info and misinfo out there about floors in general. Nail polish remover is acetone, and what you removed was probably old-fashioned varnish which I think is soluble in acetone. I'm not sure acetone dissolves shellac - alcohol does that. It's not un common to have multiple different types of old finishes, for various reasons, (You might try some denatured alcohol, or vodka. I use grain alcohol which is the nuts, though sometimes hard to obtain because of laws trying to prevent people from misusing it. I actually have to leave NY and buy mine in VT, by preorder from a State source.) The cracks you see in August (and still now) are likely the narrow ones! Wait until late March rolls around after a full winter of heating. I can lose Bic pens in some of mine. That's when they are easiest to clean out, though. I wouldn't try anything other than emergency washing until the cracks are clean as there is no point moistening that junk in there. It's important that at the end of the season that the gaps are clean as they begin to swell back up. Dirt and debris trapped in the cracks as they close can compress the edges of the floor board, causing increasing gaps the next season. Of course old houses weren't built when there were effective vacuum cleaners so there's a lot of debris down there. As to washing: Murphy's has long been a standby, but has also acquired some (perhaps innaccurate) reputation as being hard to fully remove from floors prior to using poly urethane finishes. I will say this: about a decade ago I was visiting Montpelier, Pres. James Madison's plantation, (he was comtemporary pal of Thos. Jefferson) in VA. I happened to be visiting in the off season and got to wander around a bit more than most visitors. I climbed a staircase and encountered the curatorial staff working on an as-yet-unopened-to-the-public room. They were busily at work washing the floor of the room, with you guessed it: Murphy's and water. So if it's good enough for such an important and professionally cared-for house, it's probably good enough for mine. Otherwise I use Organic Linseed Oil Soap - imported from Sweden, doncha know. I got it from the site that sells the Silent Paint Remover. I find it's an excellent cleaner, smells nice and wasn't particularly expensive since I only use a little at a time. In olden days the floors were sometimes washed with lye, leached out of wood ashes, so I imagine a little Murphy's or Method won't hurt. Floors were also strewn with sand which was then swept up. (That's why you'll likely encounter sand in the cracks even if you're far from the beach.) Don't try washing unless you have a huge pile of rags on had to handdry the floor off at once. Yes, hand sanding or scraping is a one-room-at-a-time type project. More so than renting a drum sander. The only catch is how to meld the meeting point of applied finishes at the threshold when the adjacent rooms are not done all at once, if you don't have a raised threshold. One of the beauties of shellac is that it can be patched up or touched up, or joined together seamlessly anywhere, even in the middle of board in the middle of a room. It's not without its detractions however, the primary one being that it is not bulletproof the way modern poly is. OTOH, should trouble ensue you just clean the surface where the problem is of any wax and dirt and get out a brush and touch it up. It redissolves the old shellac, mixing it with the newly applied stuff and dries so the patch is invisible. Can't say that about any poly finish. You can get it completely off with rags and alcohol and start the whole thing anew if you want. The fix-ability and the reverse-ability have much to recommend it. It is also pretty easily DIY-ish, and cheap. You can search for more info using Google and here on thsi site. But be forewarned there is a LOT of anti-shellac prejudice out there by floor pros, and some people who are just repeating what someone else said. There are also some excellent reports by people who took the chance on it and are very happy. It is relatively slower to apply and more hands and kness sort of work. Don't try it unless you are in a warm-ish, but mostly unhumid time of year. You need to ventilate the room. It is not the worst stuff for breathing, but not benign either. Shellac itself (though not the carrier) is an organic product made from exudations of a beetle in India. I'm imagining you might be interested in seeing what can be learned from your floors. Here are two things to look for (get down on your knees with a good flashlight.) Look for little rows of holes running along the floor. The holes will probably close be together but the rows separated by about 21-27 inches apart. This is evidence of an early floor covering called ingrain carpet held down by tacks. Another thing to look for is evidence how the floor was finished originally (and to know if it has ever been sanded by modern methods). Drum and orbital sanders didn't exist, even sand paper as we know it didn't, so very sharp broadknives were used to scrape the floor flat and ready for finishing. If you hold a light at a raking angle in a place where the wouldn't have been much foot traffic, you may be able to see shallow 1/16th to 3/16 ths inch wide grooves on the surface. This are the still-remaining toolmarks of the original floor's finishing, you are looking at the hand-made work of the floor installer. If you can see the undersides of the boads, say y looking up at the first floor from the cellar, you may be able to see the saw pattern, which can tell you if it was made from logs using a hand-powered pit saw, circular saw, etc. This helps nail down the age of the building because of technology of locally available materials is often known pretty accurately. Have you sorted out which floors are the splintery-est? I have some fir and it has narrow, sharp, fierce splinters. The flat-sawn wide-board pine pretty mellow. Quarter-sawn oak strip is rarely that way. It's not uncommon to find many types of wood in a single house. It's worth learning the correct indentifications of both species and board type (flat, quarter, radial, T&G, butted, lapped, etc.) as sometimes choices of floor finishing techniques are limited by type of wood. Oh, I forgot to add: the reason I use old credit cards (and similar plastic things) to clean out cracks is that the edges and rounded corners are less damaging to the board sides within the groove than metal implements. Plus all the credit cards that are expired get another round of use if recycled into my floor tool box. Card companies used to send out plastic versions of fake ones they use to try and get you to apply for them. I was in plastic tool heaven, but, alas now the facsimiles are just cardboard. Another solvent to try is Soygel. It is particularly, though slowly, useful on floors. Leave it covered with plastic wrap for days, if necessary. Let time do the work, rather scraping it yourself. It also cleans up nicely which is something you can't say about most chemical strippers. All these solvents and the rags used to apply and clean off have the potential for spontaneous combustion. Either air them out on a line for days or dispose of them in a metal, closed container filled with water, and kept outside away from the house. HTH(elps) more than just adding to the overload. L. |
Here is a link that might be useful: source of Excellent Technical on Info on Care of Old Buildings (NPS Preserv. Briefs)
Murphy's Oil soap is fine on a finished floor (varnish), not so good on a damaged finish, and even worse on bare wood with NO finish. A light damp mopping (NOT WET) will clean up a lot, and paint thinner can remove greasy filth. |

One way to deal with the splinters, inexpensively and temporarily, is with a floor cloth. Cut a chunk of canvas dropcloth that covers most of the room, leaving the margins exposed as was traditionally done. Hem or serge the edges. Paint the cloth as you wish, solid or stenciled or freehand. Tack it down. This was the old-fashioned way for tenants to deal with poor floors. |

Another thing that works well for cleaning out wide cracks is a grout saw, available in the tile dept for a couple of dollars. The 'teeth' are good at breaking up the dirt/grime that's compacted into a solid mass. I'm another in favor of NOT painting your floor - consider paint permanant. You can always paint over stain but you can't stain over paint. And if you get paint in the cracks, you'll likely have a striped floor if you later decide to resand & stain. |

Mirror's Edge, fully working on mac. the credits for the port (Cider) goes to cluthz. game description Mirror's Edge is a single-player first person action-adventure video game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and published by Electronic Arts. The game was announced on July 10, 2007, and was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November 2008. A Microsoft Windows version was released on January 13, 2009. Mirror's Edge is powered by the Unreal Engine 3 with the addition of a new lighting solution, developed by Illuminate Labs in association with DICE. The game has a brightly coloured style and differs from most other first-person perspective video games in allowing for a wider range of actionsùsuch as sliding under barriers, tumbling, wall-running, and shimmying across ledgesùand greater freedom of movement; in having no heads-up display; and in allowing the legs, arms, and torso of the character to be visible on-screen. Mirror's Edge is set in a futuristic dystopian society, in which a network of 'runners', including the main character, Faith, are used as couriers to transmit messages while evading government surveillance. In the style of a three-dimensional platform game, the player guides Faith over rooftops, across walls, and through ventilation shafts, negotiating obstacles using movements inspired by parkour.

The start of production on the fifth installment of Disney's multibillion-dollar "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise has been delayed until at least this fall, prompting the studio to change its projected release date from July 10, 2015, to "Unset."
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told The Hollywood Reporter that there are issues with the script (something that's probably pretty common when you're on to Popcorn Movie No. 5) and they're hoping to get the show on the high seas by summer 2016.
But they better hurry up before the end comes nigh for franchise cornerstone Johnny Depp. The 50-year-old actor, who at this time is the only returning star officially attached to Pirates 5 (which is currently listed on IMDb as POTC: Dead Men Tell No Tales), told the BBC in July that his retirement from moviemaking is "probably not too far away."

Sep 3, 2013 11:46 AM by Lindsey Gordon - MTN News
HELENA - As the story of the Billings judge that handed down a 31-day sentence to a teacher convicted of raping a student continues to receive national attention, reporter Lindsey Gordon talks with a local retired judge and a child welfare advocate who are weighing in on the controversial sentence and remarks.
When Billings District Court Judge Todd Baugh handed down a sentence for 31 days to Stacey Rambold, a former Billings high school teacher, convicted of raping a former student, the public was outraged.
However, it's the remarks he made about the victim's age and perceived control over the situation that have retired District Court Judge Dorothy McCarter talking. McCarter, who spent 23 years on the bench in Helena, said: "Baugh's statements were in poor judgement on his part and he wasn't very responsible."
Derek VanLuchene, the founder of Ryan United, a non-profit that advocates defending children against predators, said he's very concerned with the impact Baughs remarks will leave.
"In a way, we have to make sure that we don't re-victimize - we don't re-victimize the victim by our own justice system," he said.
Although in this instance, the victim committed suicide as the case was unfolding, VanLuchene says there's still a ripple effect.
"Behind every crime there's a victim and we know, we have to follow policy and we have to follow laws and things like that, but ultimately there's somebody that's very affected and a whole family that's affected and a community," said VanLuchene.
While Baugh gave an apology for his remarks, he continues to stand by the sentence he gave Rambold. McCarter says there's likely more than meets the eye in this case.
She adds,"When a judge sentences someone, they get a lot of information the public doesn't have. Sentences may seem light, but I hesitate to criticize the sentence until you see the pre-sentence investigation report."
In his line of work, VanLuchene can't justify that.
"You know you look at a crime against a child, the worst of the worst, and somebody gets thirty days...it's going to have a lasting effect not only on the family, but other victims, too. How are other victims going to perceive our justice system from this ruling?" he asks.

Decreasing Stress
Outside events (like problems at school or with your teachers or parents) can be upsetting. But remember that it's not the outside force, but how you react to the inside that's important. You can't control all the outside events in your life, but you can change how you handle them emotionally and psychologically. Here are some good ways to cope:
- Take 15 to 20 minutes a day to sit quietly, breath deeply, and think of a peaceful picture.
- Try to learn to accept the things you can't change. You don't have to solve all of life's problems. Talk out your troubles and look for the good instead of the bad in situations.
- Engage in physical activity regularly. Do what you enjoy -- walk, swim, ride a bike or jog to get your big muscles going. Letting go of the tension in your body will help you feel a lot better.
- Limit caffeine (soft drinks, tea, and coffee). Also don't drink alcohol or smoke.
- Think ahead about what may upset you. Some things you can avoid. For example, spend less time with people who bother you.
- Think about problems and try to come up with good solutions. You could talk to your teacher, parent or counselor the next time something bothers you or get help when you have too much to do.
- Change how you respond to difficult situations. Be positive, not negative.
- Learn to say no. Don't promise too much. Give yourself enough time to get things done.

Adopt Responsibly! Thank you for supporting rescue!
Other Pets at Animal Advocates of the US - San Diego Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
SUSSY, a San Diego Shih Tzu/Pekingese dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu/Pekingese for sale in San Diego, or seeking a Shih Tzu/Pekingese dog from a breeder in San Diego.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Diego already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Diego breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu/Pekingese breeders who help with Shih Tzu/Pekingese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Diego paves the way for another one to be saved.

In its continuing effort to help maintain the overall quality of the city and give back to the community it has called home for 64 years, Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity is replacing the "Welcome to Monmouth" sign that mysteriously disappeared some time ago.
The exact circumstances under which the sign vanished are not yet known, but the fraternity is doing its part to restore that facet of the city's image.
"I think the project in itself is a big step in the direction Sigma Phi Epsilon wants to go in helping the City of Monmouth and the surrounding community," said senior Pete Lipinski, member of the fraternity and the main driving force behind the project.
In August, Lipinski contacted the city to start brainstorming ideas for possible service projects as part of its continuing program known as "Sig Ep Saturdays." The fraternity completes service projects at places like the Jamieson Center for most of these Saturdays, but this time the city wanted something different. Jan Helms, Executive Administrative Assistant for the City of Monmouth, came to Lipinski and asked for help with replacing the sign. The materials and supplies are being provided by the city.
"Monmouth has been our home since 1948,"said Sig Ep president Roy Sye, a senior, "and we are honored to give back to the community that has helped our members develop into balanced men for over 60 years."
The fraternity has done more than just offer to help replace the sign, however. Andrew Lipinski, is a graphic design major and offered to help in designing the sign that will soon grace the northern entrance to the city. Some of Andrew's design elements fall in line with the image of Monmouth being a tree city as he includes maple leaves and an overall image of growth and nature. The fraternity has done work with planting trees around the city in the past and so the idea of maintaining the Maple City theme was a very important part of the project.
The men of Sig Ep will raise the new sign they helped to design on Oct. 20.

Marita's story
I am noticing changes already in Eli. by supporting him to cry …. He gives more eye contact, seems happier in himself. I am more relaxed too and enjoying him more. Mealtimes are more relaxed and he's eating more surprisinglyI bring more good news...
We are continuing to notice changes in [our son]. We have been amazed at his eating, he eats with gusto, cheer, making lots of happy noices and he can sit on the floor for a long period without getting grizzly. This is soooo different to before,
He is all round much happier...such a delight to be with. He is waking less and has been able to cry overnight and resettle without a feed. Tough times staying awake and present at 1am but well worth it.
He ….. is more engaging, more smiley and sat for about 15mins while I gardened today and played contentedly on his own with the peg/sticks/leaves without becoming impatient to be moved or picked up, seeing I was nearby.
Thankyou once again...I could not have imagined that supporting him to cry it could have made such a difference in him.

The old ladies are very
noticeable in Russia, they're called 'Babushkas'.
You can't come to Russia without meeting them, as they seem to spend
their days outside. They join together for a chat on the benches in
In the West, the grannies are often seen as feeble and afraid of crossing the street alone, or getting stolen their handbag. In Russia, Babushkas manage by themselves and make themselves respected. They often tell people off in the metro, fight their way to get a seat in a crowded bus, pass in front of the others in the lines at the bank.
They grew up during the hard times of the war and never miss a chance to remind people about that.
Most of them live still with their children and grandchildren, homes being expensive in big cities. They take care of their grandchildren, and sometimes work also for other families as nannies or home-help.
And some Babushkas find other ways of making money.
-- For example, they wait for travelers arriving at railway stations in St Pete, and propose them to live at their apartment. Sometimes they are honest nice grannies who let you sleep in their cozy Soviet flat, sometimes they give you a false set of keys and when you get
In Moscow, on weekends, they dress up well and meet in Izmailovski Park for dancing and singing parties. Old men 'Dedushkas' play accordion, and Babushkas sing and dance traditional Russian songs. It's worth to go and see how they party outdoors in the park. To know more and listen to some recordings see our report at Russian Folk Music

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Katie, a Emory Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Emory, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Emory.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Emory already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Emory breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Emory paves the way for another one to be saved.

Text of report in English by Danish leading privately-owned independent
newspaper Politiken website, on 31 August
[Report edited by Julian Isherwood: "SDP-SPP Trouble Brewing With
A centre-left government after the election may lead to problems with
Israel over Palestine.
If a centre-left government wins the upcoming general election in
Denmark, it may quickly face a diplomatic battle with Israel over the
prospect of recognising a Palestinian state.
The Socialist People's Party Leader Villy Sovndal, who is generally
mooted as foreign minister in an SDP-SPP cabinet, is ready to canvas
support from other EU countries to recognize Palestine as an independent
state within the United Nations if all 27 EU countries cannot reach
"Recognition of a Palestinian state is necessary. And rather obvious if
it happens under the auspices of the United Nations. We can also see
that there will be many countries in the rest of the world who will also
recognize (Ed: Palestine)," says Villy Sovndal.
He adds that if the European Union cannot reach agreement, Denmark
should: "work to get as many European countries as possible to recognize
Israel's Copenhagen embassy says that going to the UN without an
agreement with Israel is a counterproductive step.
"It is clear to us as we believe it is clear to most of the politicians
in Denmark and in Europe in general, that such a step will not create a
state but will surely contribute to losing the little trust there is
between Israel and the Palestinians," Embassy Spokesman Dan Oryan tells
"Needless to say that as a country that has always supported direct
talks and the fulfilment of international agreements, it would be
upsetting to find any responsible party in Denmark supporting any steps
in breach of the Oslo agreement between Israel and the Palestinians,"
Oryan says, adding that Israel has repeatedly called for direct
negotiations without preconditions for a two-state solution to the
"The Palestinians refuse again and again and still some politicians say
that Israel refuses to talk about peace," Oryan says.
The current Liberal-Conservative Danish government has hitherto rejected
the idea of a go-it-alone policy for Denmark, working instead for a
pan-EU position and solution and with a broad majority in Parliament
supporting a compromise that would enable all EU countries to agree.
"Ashton is doing a great job at the moment with a draft resolution that
builds on what we agree on in the EU. To try to convince the
Palestinians not initially to seek recognition but rather observer
status at the United Nations -just like the Vatican," says Foreign
Minister Lene Espersen (Cons).
She says it would be a spoke in the wheel of the peace process if a new
Danish government announced it would recognize Palestine.
"As foreign minister I would certainly advise against even thinking
about it. We are working hard among the EU ministers to try to keep
together," Espersen says, adding there are currently some three groups
within the EU.
Those former East Bloc countries who recognized Palestine prior to the
disappearance of the Berlin Wall, another group that says recognition
should come at the right time and a third group including Germany and
the Netherlands which is reticent to take any new steps. Espersen says
Denmark is currently placed in between the second and third group.
But the warnings seem to fall on deaf ears with both the Social
Democrats and Socialist People's Party.
"With reservations for the fact that there is not yet a text, the
Palestinians have a right to a state...That should be Denmark's
position" says Social Democratic Foreign Policy Spokesman Jeppe Kofod.
"The problem now is that there are no peace negotiations, and that the
main responsibility for that is with the Israeli government," Kofod
The Socialist People's Party Foreign Policy Spokesman Holger Nielsen
says that if the EU countries cannot agree, then Denmark should seek
European partners to recognize Palestine. Nielsen says, however, that a
new Danish government has n o interest in a diplomatic confrontation
with Israel.
"The new government's policy will be to be more active in the peace
process. Including making it clear that Israel bears the responsibility
for getting peace negotiations on track again," Nielsen says.
Pind Advises Against
Development Aid and Immigration Minister Soren Pind (Lib) says it would
be "destructive for Denmark's relations with foreign countries" if
Denmark were to sow the seed of doubt about EU unity.
"The whole issue would explode if one country goes it alone. At the
moment we are working at all levels to find a solution. It is important
that this is not destroyed by Denmark going it alone," Pind says.
Israel's Copenhagen embassy says it hopes Danish politicians will avoid
unilateral steps.
"I would hope that the voices coming from all sides of the political map
in Denmark would be calling to both sides to negotiate directly on
solving the conflict and not support one-sided steps that might cause to
deepen the conflict instead of solving it," Oryan says.
