Every Child Ready to Read—New conversations on research, relationships and partnerships
Every Child Ready to Read ® @ your library® (ECRR) continues a commitment to research and introduces a powerful concept of constrained and unconstrained skill sets to our conversations with parents and caregivers. The 2nd edition utilizes natural language and a flexible format to encourage a more interactive way for library staff to work with caregivers and to create new ways for parents to interact with their children. Community and staff partnerships are a staple of ECRR, and in our 90 minute webinar we will discuss research, new ways to relate to our customers, partners and community members using the new tools provided by ECRR.
ECRR is a parent education initiative by the Public Library Association (PLA) and the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC). It stresses early literacy begins with the primary adults in a child's life. The ECRR toolkit empowers public libraries to assume an essential role in supporting early literacy within a community. For more information about ECRR please visit the Every Child Ready to Read website.
Learning Outcomes
Learners will:
- Be informed of constrained and unconstrained skill sets
- Understand how to use ECRR materials to have conversations with a variety of groups

Who Should Attend
Children's librarians and library paraprofessional and support staff in public and school libraries who work with young children. Library administrators, community early literacy partners, and other stakeholders in early literacy success would find the content of value in planning and advocating new roles for their library.

Hey all, I was just wondering if any one has ever heard of a .22 lr conversion for the Ruger SR9. I have looked around and haven't seen any. I know it is a relatively new gun, but was hoping that some one out there was making one. I know it might be cheaper to just get a .22 pistol instead but I want to practice with my SR9. If any one knows of one I would be greatly appriciated. As stated before I haven't seen one online, yet. Thank you every one.

None that I know of and I suspect none in the future either. Lots of engineering costs would go into making a .22 conversion kit and potential sales probably wouldn't warrant the expense. At this point there isn't even a kit for XDs, and there are a ton of them in circulation. Sigs, Glocks, and 1911s...
Berettas, cz's.....
Okay thanks. That was what I was afraid of. Oh well. Too bad. Perhaps in the future however unlikely. On the shopping list is a 1911 so maybe in the future I will get one for that. Thanks guys.
I've weighed the advantages of having a .22 conversion and come up short of doing it. For what most conversions cost you can get a nice .22 auto pistol.
The benefit of a conversion is the ability to train on your desired platform cheaply. Few dedicated .22 pistols are designed to emulate "duty" type guns...
NGIB that is what I want to try to do. If I have to use it (very unlikely) I will be able to have had practice with it.

Thank you mav72. That was my initial thought, too, but I wasn't sure if rust ends up with spots on the leaves. I started to wonder if it might be some kind of blight or leaf spot. |

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 My soul, bless thou the Lord; my Lord God, thou art magnified greatly. Thou hast clothed acknowledging and fairness; (My soul, bless thou the Lord; my Lord God, thou art greatly magnified. Thou art clothed with majesty and glory;) | 1 Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. |
2 and thou art clothed with light, as with a cloth. And thou stretchest forth heaven as a skin; (and thou art clothed with light, like with a cloak. And thou stretchest forth, or spreadest out, the heavens like a tent;) | 2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent |
3 and thou coverest with waters the higher parts thereof. Which settest a cloud thy ascending; which goest on the feathers of winds. (and thou layest the beams of thy chambers upon the waters. Thou who makest a cloud thy chariot; and who goest upon the wings of the wind.) | 3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. |
4 Which makest spirits thine angels; and thy ministers (a) burning fire. (Who makest the winds to be thy messengers; and flames of fire, or flashes of lightning, to be thy servants.) | 4 He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants. |
5 Which hast founded the earth on his stableness; it shall not be bowed into the world of world. (Who hast set the earth on its foundations; yea, it shall never be moved, or shaken.) | 5 He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. |
6 The depth of waters as a cloth is the clothing thereof; waters shall stand on hills. (The depth of waters, like a cloak, is its clothing; and the waters rose above, or covered, the mountains.) | 6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. |
7 Those shall flee from thy blaming; men shall be afeared of the voice of thy thunder. (The waters fled from thy rebuke; they were afraid of the sound of thy thunder.) | 7 But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; |

(They went up over the mountains, and down into the valleys; to the place which thou hast prepared for them.) | 8 they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them. |
9 Thou hast set a term, which they shall not pass (over); neither those shall be turned (again), for to cover the earth (nor shall they ever return to cover the earth). | 9 You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth. |
10 And thou sendest out wells into great valleys (And thou sendest forth springs in the great valleys); (and the) waters shall pass betwixt the midst of (the) hills. | 10 He makes springs pour water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains. |
11 All the beasts of the field shall drink; wild asses shall abide in their thirst, that is, to be filled in their thirst.

14 And thou bringest forth hay to beasts; and herb to the service of men.

15 and that wine make glad the heart of men. That he make glad the face with oil; and that bread make steadfast the heart of man. (and wine to make the hearts of people glad.

16 The trees of the field shall be [full-]filled, and the cedars of the Lebanon, which he planted; (The trees of the field be filled full with sap, and the cedars of Lebanon, which he planted;) | 16 The trees of the LORD are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. |
17 sparrows shall make nest there. The house of the gyrfalcon is the leader of those; (the sparrows make their nests there; and the homes of the gyrfalcons be on the tops of them.) | 17 There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the pine trees. |
18 high hills be refuge to harts; the stone is refuge to urchins. (The high hills, or the mountains, be a refuge for the harts; and the stones be a refuge for the conies, or the rock badgers.) | 18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the coneys. |
19 He made the moon into times; the sun knew his going down. (Thou hast made the moon for telling times, or months; and the sun, it knoweth its time to go down, and when to set.) | 19 The moon marks off the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down. |
20 Thou hast set darknesses, and night is made; all beasts of the wood shall go therein. | 20 You bring darkness, it becomes night, and all the beasts of the forest prowl. |
21 Lions? whelps roaring for to ravish (prey); and to seek of God meat to themselves. (The lions? whelps roar while they hunt the prey; seeking food for themselves from God.) | 21 The lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God. |
22 The sun is risen, and those be gathered together; and those shall be set (down) in their couches. (Then the sun riseth, and they be gathered together; and they return to their dens.) | 22 The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens. |
23 A man shall go out to his work; and to his working, till to the eventide. (A man goeth out to his work; and doeth his labour, until the evening.) | 23 Then man goes out to his work, to his labor until evening. |
24 Lord, thy works be magnified full much, thou hast made all things in wisdom; the earth is filled with thy possession(s). (Lord, thou hast made a great many things, thou hast made all things by thy wisdom; the earth is filled with thy creatures.) | 24 How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. |
25 This sea is great and large to hands; there be creeping beasts, of which is no number. Little beasts with [the] great; (The sea is great, and too large to hold in our hands; and in it be creeping things of which there is no number. Yea, little beasts with the great.) | 25 There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number-- living things both large and small. |
26 ships shall pass there. This dragon which thou hast formed, for to scorn him. (Ships pass there; and that dragon, or Leviathan, which thou hast formed, playeth there.) | 26 There the ships go to and fro, and the leviathan, which you formed to frolic there. |
27 All things abide of thee; that thou give to them meat in time. (All things wait for thee; to give them their food at the proper time.) | 27 These all look to you to give them their food at the proper time. |

(What thou givest to them, they gather up; when thou openest up thy hand, they be filled with good things.) | 28 When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things. |
29 But when thou shalt turn away thy face, they shall be troubled; thou shalt take away the spirit of them, and they shall fail; and they shall turn again into their dust. (But when thou turnest away thy face, they be troubled; and when thou takest away their breath, they fail; and then they return to the dust from whence they came.) | 29 When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. |

5 Big Obama Announcements Donald Trump Could Be Making
When we reported the news that reality TV personality Donald Trump was going to reveal a major "bombshell" tomorrow on Twitter which will rock the Obama campaign, our first instinct was to check the TV Guide listings to see if "Celebrity Apprentice" was coming back on-air soon.
While that certainly was not the case, Trump's past history of using the news to remain front and center in the headlines gives us a reason to be speculative — especially when the coiffured business mogul is about to launch another season of his NBC television show. As early as this morning (10/23) Trump was on CNBC's Squawk Box, gassing up the announcement into a hot fervor. The big bank businessman commented on the show, saying, "I do have something that's very big. It's about President Obama." Without offering any hints, the challenge has been left to us to decode what Donald Trump's announcement could possibly be.
So what is up with Trump's announcement? We offer a few guesses.

2005 Toyota Tundra 4dr Double Cab Limited Rwd SB (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
I looked at a lot of trucks before
deciding on the new 05 double cab.
This truck performs like a dream. I
realized how good it was when I was
driving about 80 miles per hour in the
fast lane around dusk and I came up on
a contractors wheelbarrow in the center
of the lane. (This thing was huge.) I
did not have enough time to stop so I
had to swerve. While other vehicles
were slamming on their brakes and
spinning out in the breakdown lane this
truck handle like a sports car. I went
around the wheelbarrow and I was back
in the fast lane in just a few
seconds. I was shocked that a truck so
big could handle like so well. You gotta
drive one!!!

This is my 3rd Toyota truck, definitely not my last. Once again, Toyota has enhanced their truck package by adding 42 more hp, and the nifty power rear window. I had considered a Nissan Titan this time around, but the Tundra has better style and a considerably smoother ride. Anyone looking for a 2005 truck should at least test drive a Tundra, it is best all-around full size pickup on the market.

text: The Captain Terror wiki last edited by xkoenig on 12/16/13 09:20AM View full history HistoryA respected member of the community, millionaire Dan Kane was good friends with Admiral Edmund Leeds and Professor John Wolf. Kane pretended to have a weak heart while masquerading as boisterous coastal hero the mighty Captain Terror. Becoming famous in his native Georgia, Captain Terror traveled overseas to fight alongside Eugene Judd and communists against fascists in the Spanish Civil War. Kane battled Nazi scientist Black Claw and spy Hans Shiller and was seemingly slain by Delvadian-born hero el Aguila; while Judd attacked the Nationalist citadel seeking revenge on el Aguila, Kane secretly survived, returned to Georgia and retired for years.In mid 1941, a Nazi merchant raider led by Black Claw, now a captain, targeted American convoys and naval destroyers shipping to Britain. Kane learned of the attacks from Leeds; after talking with Lt. Bill Young, Kane decided to become Captain Terror again to fight the Nazis. Leeds was unable to find the raider, but Kane sped silently alongside the Nazi vessel and revealed their position with the raider's own searchlights. Black Claw fought Captain Terror during the battle between Leeds' cruiser and the raider but Black Claw escaped as his ship sunk. Allowing himself to be captured by Black Claw's men, Captain Terror listened as Black Claw, outfitted with another raider, talked about his invention of "magnetic" mines that could adhere to wood, rubber or steel. After witnessing the mines destroy an American steamer, Captain Terror escaped and planted a bomb near the stored mines, capturing Black Claw before the raider exploded.Black Claw disappeared beneath the water after struggling with Captain Terror, but the two apparently battled again during an invasion of New York's Holland Tunnel.Hoping to collection information, Kane invited several US-based heroes including Defender, Rusty, Whizzer, Rockman, Vagabond, Jack Frost and Major John Liberty to his New York residence; they agreed to meet regularly, though further meetings are unrecorded.Kane learned of Professor Wolf's paint that allowed planes to blend in with the sky; they took the formula to Ft. Gregory's General Garvey and met with the general's daughter, Norma. Wolf's maid Maria, secretly a Fifth Columnist, contacted Shiller, who then met Black Carlo, an American Gypsy working with the Nazis (seemingly unaware of Gypsy persecution in Europe); using a magic crystal ball, Carlo tracked Wolf. An old woman, the rightful leader of the Gypsies, helped Captain Terror capture Carlo; Captain Terror then worked with Army Air Force Lt. Green to capture Shiller.Gustave Leech, a Nazi scientist specializing in "sudden death," attacked shipments between Arbolivia, South America, to Britain, and Leeds led a convoy to stop him. Using his private plane to arrive there first, Captain Terror fired his pistols at Leech's torpedoes, destroying them before they could hit their marker.In the capital city, Captain Terror followed a spy he recognized from Spain to Leech's hideout, then captured Delores Madrigo, who revealed she was tricked into helping Leech. After Captain Terror left her, she was captured by Nazis as a traitor and encased in a torpedo shell. Captain Terror released Madrigo and threw the torpedo at Leech's submarine with enough force to explode on impact, defeating the Nazis.By 1945, Captain Terror had joined other super heroes in Europe, but when the Red Skull used a Cosmic Cube to conquer the world, Captain Terror and others were apparently killed. Time-travelling Avengers, including fellow Spanish Civil War-veteran Wolverine disguised as Captain Terror, joined the Invaders in correcting the timeline and restoring Captain Terror, and others, to life.Captain Terror subsequently joined in the Battle of Berlin, fighting alongside Captain America.In modern times, an elderly Kane re-introduced himself to Captain America at a wartime heroes reunion hosted by the Angel.PowersTrained to peak physical condition with almost superhuman strength, Captain Terror was, in his prime, an expert fighter and master tactician. He could shoot a speeding torpedo with a pistol or throw a knife with precision at over 60 feet, and is an expert pilot and boat captain, skills he put to use with his silent powerboat and Curtiss SC Seahawk, which reaches over 330 mph and is invisible at distances over 200' due to John Wolf's paint. He also has a handheld electro-magnetic searchlight that can stop a speeding torpedo.Captain Terror maintained a secret underground boathouse beneath his Georgia mansion.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Report Outlines Main Points of Slovak Cabinet's Draft Foreign Policy
"Support for EU Enlargement Will Be in Government's Program" -- SITA
headline - SITA Online
Thursday July 22, 2010 08:31:59 GMT
Also in the coming period, Slovakia will place emphasis on relations with
the EU, NATO, the UN, and the V4 group.It wants to maintain existing
above-standard relations with the Czech Republic, develop relations with
Poland, and support Ukraine in its integration and modernization
effort.With Russia, Slovakia wants good political, economic, and cultural
relations. "We will support strong and transparent relations of the EU
with Russia, including in the energy sector and we will support Russia's
membership in the WTO," the material states.There is a separate part that
is dedicated to relations with Hungary on the basis of the bilateral
treaty on good neighborhood.
In the program statement, Slovakia will clearly condemn global terrorism.
"With the objective of eliminating international security threats, we will
be active in questions of fighting terrorism and nonproliferation of
weapons of mass destruction in the UN as well as within institutions and
bodies of the EU, NATO, and OSCE."The material rejects official contacts
with countries that disregard human rights and freedoms of their own
citizens. "On the other hand, we will increase support and contacts with
civil society and activists fighting for human rights," the source from
the department claims.Slovakia at the same time resolutely rejects
interference in national sovereignty, including the formation of
institutional ties between a foreign country and citizens of Slovakia
without a prior agreement with Slovakia, or the practice of adopting
extraterritorial legal norms.
"The foreign policy of the Slovak Republic will be consistent and
credible, reflecting values Slovakia cherishes and shares with the
Euro-Atlantic community," the material states.It will reject nationalism
and totalitarian ideas.Over the past four years, Slovakia's foreign policy
had been weakening, in particular because of the entry of the SNS (Slovak
National Party) party in government and subsequent cooling of relations
with Hungary, as well as the insufficient predictability in relation to
allies and leaning toward Russia and the skepticism associated with the
belief that a small country has little weight on the global scene, the
material reads.

Korea Debt Position Improves - JoongAng Daily Online
Friday July 23, 2010 00:38:27 GMT
(JOONGANG ILBO) - Korea's cost of insuring against sovereign debt default
has improved among OECD countries, said the Bank of Korea and the Korea
Center for International Finance (KCIF) yesterday.
Korea ranked 11th among 28 OECD countries surveyed in the first half of
this year in terms of the credit default swap (CDS) premium for Korean
dollar-denominated currency bonds, which stood at 102.55 basis points.The
higher the ranking, the worse the situation a country faces in terms of
its default risk. Korea in the second half of last year was ranked
eighth.Korea's ranking improved due to the deteriorating debt conditions
this year in several southern European countries. The highest ranking on
the debt risk list was Greece with 506.03 basis points, followed by
Iceland (432.33 bp), Hungary (234.84 bp), Portugal (213.68 bp) and Turkey
(179.27 bp).Korea was ranked fifth in the first half of 2009 with a CDS
premium of 289.18 bp, but the figure fell to 117.58 bp in the second half
of last year.Korea's debt risk premium has also decreased due to an
improvement in its fiscal strength that has been supported by a rapid
economic recovery. Korea's foreign exchange reserves are considered
adequate to support debt repayments on its sovereign bonds."The Lehman
Brothers bankruptcy, which triggered the global economic crisis, occurred
in the second half of 2008, " said Yoon In-gu, a researcher at KCIF.
"Although all Asian countries struggled, Korea's fast economic growth,
stabilization in its currency and a healthy stock market contributed to
the quick recovery."As for possible risks in the future, he added, "Korea
is still highly dependent on the international market and since the
European debt crisis is something that won't be resolved overnight, it
will still remain a potential risk for us."(Description of Source: Seoul

UNCTAD Report: South-East Europe Faces Contagion Risk of Greek Debt Crisis
Xinhua: "UNCTAD Report: South-East Europe Faces Contagion Risk of Greek
Debt Crisis" - Xinhua
Thursday July 22, 2010 19:08:06 GMT
ATHENS, July 22 (Xinhua) -- The threat of eventual contagion of the Greek
debt crisis to South-East Europe is raised in the annual World Investment
Report of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)
released on Thursday.
The rapid expansion of Greek commercial banks in the region for the past
decade has increased the risk of a domino effect since Greece was hit by a
severe debt crisis this year, according to the report which was presented
in Athens duri ng a press conference co- organized by UNCTAD and the
American College of Greece, DEREE.In 2008 Greek commercial banks' exposure
in South-East Europe stood at about 70 billion U.S. dollars, close to 22
percent of Greek GDP. Greek banks had carved out a solid market share of
up to 20 percent in the region. The recent downgrading of the troubled
Greek banks'ratings due to the crisis, highlights the potential risk of a
possible contagion to South-East Europe, noted UNCTAD.Furthermore, in
regards to Greece, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flow inward dropped by
25 percent to 3,355 million U.S. dollars in 2009 from 4,499 million U.S.
dollars in 2008, according to the latest data included in the report. FDI
flow outward was slashed by 58 percent from 2,418 million U.S. dollars in
2008 to 1, 838 million U.S. dollars in 2009.Despite negative figures and
trends for the past years, Greek experts expressed reserved optimism on
the future flow of foreign direct investments to debt-ridde n Greece and
the overall prospects of Greek national economy."I am very confident for
the short-future due to the comparative advantages of Greek economy,"said
Christos Pitelis, president of the Greek Organization for Small and Medium
Enterprises and Handicrafts and professor at the Universities of Athens
and Cambridge.General Director of the Greek Foundation for Economic and
Industrial Research, professor Giannis Stournaras noted that the
activation of the European Union-International Monetary Fund safety net
for Greece in May has boosted possibilities of stability and
development.According to the agreement, Athens will receive 110 billion
euros (141.9 billion U.S. dollars) over a three-year period to overcome
the crisis in exchange of austerity measures and swift structural
reforms.Recent major investments in Greece from China in Piraeus port and
Qatar as well as undergoing discussions on more projects, support this
climate of confidence that the current bleak pi cture of Greek economy can
improve, added Marina Papanastasiou, visiting Professor of DEREE and
research professor of the Copenhagen Business School and Bilfrost
University in Iceland.Stressing the large potential for investments in a
low-carbon economy worldwide, which is the theme of UNCTAD's 2010 report,
professor Ioannis Economou, vice-president of Postgraduate Studies at the
Petroleum Institute in Abu Dhabi, noted that Greece should focus on
renewable energy sources.Economou praised a recent deal struck between
Greece and a consortium from Middle East for such an investment in the
western Greek port of Astakos as a great opportunity for Greece to step on
the wagon.(Description of Source: Beijing Xinhua in English -- China's

Pepita Seth shares her spiritual, emotional and often humorous experiences of writing her book on the Guruvayur temple. Pankaja Srinivasan reports
Like the English lady in Rang De Basanti, an encounter with her grandfather's diary, recording instances of life in India in 1857, might have awakened the first stirrings of infatuation in Pepita Seth for this country. Since then, 30 years on, it has become a full blown affair with India, particularly Kerala.
At the Oxford Bookstore, to launch her book on Guruvayur, Heaven on Earth, the Universe of Kerala's Guruvayur Temple, Pepita gently resists all attempts to tag her as 'English'. Someone points out that major documentation on aspects of India have all been undertaken by her countrymen. But, she refuses to be drawn, and indeed, in her sari and a bright red bindi, Pepita cuts a very Indian figure. Her Indian friends say that was a postal mistake. She was addressed to India but was wrongly delivered to England! But, curiosity to learn more about India and elephants, redirected her to Kerala.
The genesis
Pepita's parents had not the slightest interest in religion. "They did, however, adhere to the premise that God was an Englishman — a concept that seemed to absolve them from any further involvement in the matter", she writes. But, when Pepita had exhaustively photographed rituals in temples all over Kerala, someone asked her why she had not done any work on Guruvayur. And, Heaven on Earth…, came into being.
Guruvayurappan devotees at the launch urged Pepita to tell them more. How did it all come about? Did Guruvayurappan appear in her dreams? Were there any miracles as she wrote the book? "The whole experience was a miracle", she responds, simply.
The book is a painstaking and detailed recording (with great photographs taken by Pepita) of the very complex, mystical and ritualistic universe that is the Guruvayur temple. But, Pepita refuses to take credit for it. "I am very uneasy about my name being on that book," she says. "I am very, very conscious of the fact that it is not me who has written that book. The three pages of acknowledgements vouch for that."
Pepita's experiences are absorbing. Not knowing the language, she says, actually worked in her favour. "That forced me to listen, understand and make sure I got it right," she says. From the head priest, the chendu players, the security men, every one had a role to play in the magnum opus.
There were difficulties, she admits. The fact that little about the temple was documented in any coherent form, many accounts were purely by word of mouth and often embellished and added to with each telling, complicated matters. Certain portions of the book took months to write. The chapter on daily rituals took her five years to get right. Fact and faith were often difficult to reconcile, she says. While she was writing about each of the deities around the temple, someone asked her in all seriousness, "But what about all the invisible ones!"
Pepita describes it as "An experience that changed my life. "If I had had the faintest inkling that it was going to be such an enormous undertaking, I would never have done it," she says. She soon realised how multilayered, complex and vast the universe of Guruvayur was. "It was more complicated than a nuclear reactor," she exclaims. But, it all fell into place, because of divine grace. There were days when she was so overcome that she could do nothing. "I did nothing but sit on the steps of the koothambalam, the temple's theatre, convinced that there was no way I could continue".
Old favourites
Familiar stories of Guruvayurappa, ones that we have heard retold a hundred times, appear in the book.
A few ladies at the book launch check out if the stories of Narayanan Bhattathiri (the composer of Narayaneeyam), Poonthanam, Kuramma and Manjula have been included. They have indeed, along with a few others they hadn't heard before!
Is she going to be writing books on temples? "Nothing on this scale, I am quite certain," says Pepita. But, she is doing something about the Theyyam Dancers of Kerala and, a novel. Recollecting her most moving experience, Pepita, is clearly overcome. It was the time when she went into the sanctum sanctorum to offer the first copy of her book to Lord Guruvayurappa.

PENSHURST identities Ron Uebergang and Alan Eales have enjoyed more success with five-year-old gelding Innocent Mug, who won his fourth career start at Penola last Sunday.
The pair who carved out significant careers as players and respected committeeman with the Penshurst Football Club, have enjoyed a great ride with the Jamie Opperman trained thoroughbred.
On the weekend at his third run from a small break, apprentice Dylan Dunn was able to steer him to a three quarter length victory after racing on the pace throughout.
Dunn, who is the son of champion jockey Dwayne, used his four kilogram claim to perfection by making most of his rivals' chase him while up on the speed.
The win followed two strong runs at both Hamilton and Terang in previous starts, and punters didn't miss that by sending him out second favourite at $3.00.
The victory was his second at Penola and also broke a run of 'outs' that had his last win on the local owners home track at Penshurst back on Boxing Day 2012.

Special for the Journal
Tiburcio Vasquez was one of America s most famous outlaws. During a bandit career that last from the 1850s to the 1870s, his name became a household word in California as he led a gang that pillaged from the North Coast to Southern California. A controversial character, today he is revered by many in the Latino community who see him as a Hispanic Robin Hood. In Los Angeles, a county park and a high school are named after him. His exploits in Mendocino County, however, are all but unknown.
Vasquez was born to a respectable family in Monterey in 1835. His great-grandfather was one of the founders of San Francisco in 1776, and his grandfather a founder of San Jose in 1877. As a youth in Monterey, Tiburcio fell under the tutelage of Anastacio Garcia, a noted bandit chieftain. In 1854, when Vasquez was nineteen, he and Garcia got mixed up in the murder of a constable in Monterey and fled north to Mendocino County.
Tiburcio's first cousin, Maria Aguila, twenty-nine years his senior, was married to Fernando Feliz, grantee of the Rancho de Sanel in Mendocino County. At that time Mendocino County was extremely isolated and very sparsely populated, with only a few hundred rugged settlers amongst a substantial and hostile Indian population. It had no county government and no sheriff; its municipal affairs were administered by its neighbor to the south, Sonoma County.
Anastacio Garcia soon left Mendocino, but Tiburcio stayed and it was not long before he was again in trouble. As he later recalled, "I gathered together a small band of cattle and went into Mendocino County, back of Ukiah and Feliz Valley. Even here I was not permitted to remain in peace. The officers of the law sought me out in that remote region, and strove to drag me before the courts." Vasquez explained further, "I took a few cattle and went into the hills near Ukiah. The officers soon learned where I was and again attempted to arrest me, but after another fight, in which no one was killed, I escaped."
Vasquez claimed that he had been forced into a life of crime in Mendocino: "I have been persecuted and driven from point to point, from year to year. The white men heaped wrong upon me in Monterey, and the officers hounded me until I was driven from an honest calling in Mendocino County."
However, one Mendocino pioneer recalled that Vasquez was a cattle rustler in Mendocino. He added that Tiburcio had relatives in Ukiah "who always sheltered him when pursued by the law." On one visit to Ukiah some years later, Vasquez, while drinking in a saloon, quarreled with the barkeep. Tiburcio pulled a Bowie knife, but the saloonkeeper drew a Derringer "and made Vasquez throw the knife out of doors and then follow it."
During the late 1850s and early 1860s Tiburcio was in San Quentin, where he helped organize four bloody prison breaks which left twenty convicts dead. In 1866, after his release, Vasquez was at the head of a gang which committed numerous thefts in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. On one occasion, they stole 25 head of saddle horses in Sonoma and escaped north into Mendocino County. That was a mistake, for Mendocino County Deputy Sheriff Jeremiah M. "Doc" Standley soon got on their trail. Barely twenty-one years old, Standley was destined to become one of California's finest sheriffs. He and his posse trailed the thieves into Anderson Valley, in the mountains west of Ukiah. When they came in sight of the mounted outlaws, about a mile distant across a deep canyon, the fugitives abandoned the remuda of stolen horses and disappeared into the mountains. Standley was unable to capture the thieves but he returned the stolen animals to their owners in Sonoma County.
By the early 1870s Tiburcio Vasquez had become so reckless and notorious that the national press detailed his adventures. He was handsome, daring, and a great romantic. His love affairs were legion, and eventually proved his downfall. Finally captured in 1874 in what is now West Hollywood, he was convicted of murder and hanged in San Jose the following year.
My new book, Bandido: The Life and Times of Tiburcio Vasquez, has just been published by University of Oklahoma Press. Written for the general reader, its 500 pages and 70 illustrations tell his life story in colorful detail. It is available from all booksellers.
John Boessenecker lives on the Peninsula and practices law in San Francisco. He is the author of numerous books on crime and law enforcement in the Old West and have appeared frequently as a historical commentator on PBS, The History Channel, A&E, and other television media.

Not a whole lot but enuff to turn the grass quite crisp in places. Guess it's a sign of more to come. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Frost yesterday in lower lying areas of my yard, though nothing was harmed and a warm forecast ahead with no frost expected for awhile ... hope we can again go well into October! |
It was zero here this morning, so a lot of tender plants are done. Hopefully I took slips of everything I hoped to keep. |
I'm in Vermont and we had strips of frost on the ground this morning. Enough to zap the tops of my huge coleus and finish off about half my cucumbers. The tomatoes had some sheets on them and I haven't dared look. |
We have a frost warning for tonight, but the forecast is for +2. Everything covered, just in case. |
I am in mid-Minn. and we have mild freezes with high twenties for the next two days. I cover my tomatoes and heavily watered the extremely dry garden hoping to get through the worst nights as over night temps are supposed be above freezing after the next two days. |
- Posted by Slimy_Okra 2b (My Page) on Fri, Oct 5, 12 at 15:10
Brrr! Officially -7 C here but our backyard recorded -12 C this morning. All the tender crops are toast (no point in covering them at this point) but the swiss chard shrugged it off. |
On Wednesday night, they had been calling for lows just above freezing, though it was much colder than forecast and because I was away that evening, I was unable to bring anything in other than these Alstroemeria and a wisteria bloom next to the house. Let me count, it's now "only" 8 1/2 months until the 'Blue Moon' wisteria is again in full flower, sigh! Well, let's just hope for a nice autumn and a repeat of last winter's very mild conditions :) Terrance |

Pennsylvania State Police Employee Retires with more than 50 Years of ServiceMember SubmissionRobert J. Zinsky, director of the State Police Bureau of Staff Services since 1978, retires Friday, April 26, with more than 50 years of service to the Pennsylvania State Police. "Robert Zinsky holds the honorable distinction of being the longest-serving employee in the 97-year history of the Pennsylvania State Police," said State Police Commissioner Paul J. Evanko. "His dedication and leadership exemplify the crucial role of civilian employees in carrying out the duties of the department." Zinsky, 68, of Susquehanna Township, Dauphin County, joined the State Police as a clerk at a station in Lackawanna County on April 16, 1952. He received several promotions at that station and transferred to department headquarters in Harrisburg in 1963 to become assistant to the department's fiscal officer. Zinsky continued to advance and was named director of the Bureau of Staff Services in 1978. In that position, he has overseen the department's fiscal, facility management, transportation and procurement and supply operations. "Although he has worked at headquarters since 1963, Bob's focus has always been on the troopers in the field and how he could make their job safer and more efficient," Col. Evanko said. "Bob has taken a leading role in the revolutionary changes in the department in recent years, including the introduction of the latest technology to our crime-fighting efforts." A native of Olyphant, Lackawanna County, Zinsky is a graduate of Girard College, Philadelphia, and attended the University of Scranton. He took a leave without pay from State Police from September 1953 to September 1955 to serve in the U.S. Army. Zinsky and his wife, Nancy, have four children and five grandchildren. # # # |

The key to a high score on this game? Work together with your seatmate, who's your partner for the game. Sure, you're "competing" with each other, but if you work together, you can reach scores much higher than you can shooting alone, thanks to many "easter eggs" in the games.
Here are the tips and "cheats" that will lead you to a high score: In the first game, Hamm & Eggs, aim for the fox on top of the henhouse in the lower corner of the screen, which spawns several 1,000-point chickens to target. In the next game, Rex and Trixie's Dino Darts, if you and your partner can break all six lava flow balloons, the volcano will erupt with additional 500-point balloons. In the Green Army Men Shoot Camp, you and your partner should try to break the 2,000-point plates in the corners at the same time, which will reveal an additional row of 2,000-point plates. Watch the tank in the middle of the screen, which will throw 5,000-point plates, too. In the fourth game, Buzz Lightyear's Flying Tossers, work with your partner to throw rings around all the Little Green Men on the rocket in the middle of the screen. Clear those, and you'll reveal a monster that you can hit for 500 and 1,000 points a shot. The fifth game, Woody's Rootin' Tootin' Shootin' Gallery, has three parts. In the first, you and your partner should try to hit each bullseye once, which will spawn additional 1,000- and 2,000-point targets. Shoot through the saloon doors to reveal a bunny and additional 500- and 1,000-point targets. In the mine car scene, hit the bat after the third mine car for 1,000 points. Keep hitting the new mine cars and then hit the next bat, that is worth 5,000. If you can hit that bat, too, then all the mine cars that come out will be worth 5,000 points. In the finale of the game, hit the large bullseye as fast as you can for point values of 500, 1,000 and 2,000 points.

I know it takes women a LONG time to build muscle, so I'm wondering what this is. For about a month I've been doing lots of boxing on the Wii. Before, when I bend my arm in the "show my muscle stance," my biceps were soft and mushy, no hint of a muscle lol. Now, I can barely bend my arm to do the "stance" and you can clearly see and feel a pretty good lump of something. Is that muscle? My friend says it's not likely muscle because women don't build muscle that fast. I thought it was swollen parts due to boxing or something but it's been there for a while now and it's there even when I stop boxing for a few days. Could it be true? Is that lump muscle? :o
