The Pension Tracing Service that helps people find lost pension cash is undergoing a major expansion.
The free government service that helps people find lost pension cash is undergoing a major expansion, ahead of April's ground-breaking pension freedoms.
The Newcastle-based Pension Tracing Service (PTS) will triple its number of staff – taking the total headcount to 49 – ahead of a rising number of calls from people seeking help to find lost pension pots.
Last year the service was contacted a record 145,000 times – double the amount in 2010 – and in an impressive 87% of cases, staff successfully managed to put customers back in touch with their lost pension provider.
With 98% of enquiries from members of the public dealt with in just 4 days, the government is determined to continue its excellent track record and do everything it can to ensure people have access to all of their money.
Minister for Pensions Steve Webb said:
"With people having an average of 11 different jobs during the course of their working lives, it can be very easy to lose track of pensions they may have built up with previous employers.
"If you contributed to a pension in a previous job and don't have any details any more, it would be worth contacting our free PTS to see how you can be reunited with your lost pension pot.
"Whilst we have plans to help people combine their pension pots in future when they change jobs, there are still too many scattered and lost pensions, and we are working hard to make sure people get what they are entitled to."
Jill Scott at the Pension Tracing Service said:
"Every day we take a huge amount of satisfaction through the work that we do in helping hundreds of people to track down money that is rightfully theirs. Helping people to find their hard-earned money means they can look forward to retirement in a much better position.
"While it may sound strange, losing track of a pension is easily done, as people tend to move around the jobs market far more frequently than might have been the case in the past."
Independent research suggests that the most common reason for losing track of a pension is when an individual leaves an employer and does not keep them informed of any future changes of address.
Estimates suggest that there could be as many as 50 million dormant and lost pension pots by 2050.
From April the PTS will be complemented by the government's free and impartial service Pension Wise, which will offer guidance to people over 55 about how they can make the most of the new pension freedoms once they take effect.
Around 300,000 individuals a year will be able to access their defined contribution pension savings, and Pension Wise will be their first port of call.
It is expected that many customers will be referred to the PTS to track down lost cash.

Felton became the first black in the state of Florida to lead a corrections department in 1981 when he took over the jail system in Pinellas County. Ten years later then-president George Bush nominated him to be United States Marshal for the Middle District of Florida, but his appointment stalled in the Senate -- along with hundreds of other nominations -- owing to election-year politics. When Bush lost to Bill Clinton, Felton found himself looking for a new job.
The opening in Dade County seemed to be a wonderful opportunity, and Felton's impressive resume won him the job. But not long after coming aboard as director, he experienced his first taste of local politics. He had some immediate decisions to make after taking charge of the department, the most pressing being selection of his senior staff. One of the names that kept popping up for promotion was Donald Manning, an eleven-year veteran and a commander in the department. But Felton rejected the idea. "It was a situation where I was not enthusiastic about Manning," he recounts. "I felt that I needed some time to work with him." Furthermore, he says he was put off by Manning's attitude. "Manning knew his name was in the mix," Felton says, adding that when they talked, Manning made it clear he expected to be promoted, and even announced which of the three assistant-director slots he intended to assume: operations, which oversees the day-to-day running of the system. "He was saying, 'I want operations,'" Felton recalls. "It was very insulting. It didn't sit well with me at all."
After Felton decided not to promote Manning, he says, his immediate supervisor, Assistant County Manager Ari Rivera, told him they were going to have to explain that decision to Commissioner James Burke. Manning has served as his campaign manager in every political race Burke has entered in the past ten years. The two men are such close friends that for a time after Burke's separation from his wife, he slept on Manning's couch.
"They put me in a very difficult situation," Felton says. "I found it very annoying. There is a certain amount of power that elected officials have that you have to recognize. They have a feeling they are invincible, that they are not as vulnerable as we are."
On April 1, 1994, Felton says, he and Rivera met with Burke and the commissioner's chief of staff, Billy Hardemon. As tactfully as possible, Felton tried to explain to Burke that he had concerns about Manning's abilities and did not believe it was appropriate to promote him to the position of assistant director. Burke was incensed, Felton recalls, and repeatedly asked the director to reconsider. But Felton refused. "He was very unhappy," Felton says. "He was very unhappy and he was being very persistent: 'Why don't we put him in there temporarily?'" (It is a violation of the county charter for any commissioner to become directly involved in personnel decisions of county staff. Commissioners have the authority only to hire and fire the county manager and the county attorney; interference in any other area is punishable by removal from office.)
Felton says he has had general conversations with other commissioners about staff changes within corrections, but he has never encountered the level of "heavy-handedness" he experienced with Burke. Following that meeting, he believes, Burke considered him to be an enemy. "After that the attitude was set: 'We're going to get Felton,'" he says.
Not only did Felton snub Burke's closest ally in corrections, but one of the people he did promote in the general reorganization of the department was Anthony Dawsey, an active supporter of one of Burke's opponents in the last election campaign. Felton says Burke confronted him regarding Dawsey's promotion, and wanted to know how the director could possibly promote someone who, he recalls Burke saying, "wasn't with us."
Felton says he was only interested in promoting the best people regardless of their political connections. If it angered those in power, he says, so be it. He wasn't going to worry about the consequences. "I don't think you have any choice," he asserts. "You either roll over and do what they tell you to do or you are going to have enemies. Either you let them dictate to you how that department is going to be run or you don't and they are going to hate you. It's either one or the other."
Burke denies becoming involved in any personnel decisions within corrections. "I absolutely didn't do it," he insists. "I'm not the brightest guy in the world, but I can read and I know what the charter says."
Assistant County Manager Rivera acknowledges he attended a meeting with Felton and Burke on April 1, 1994. "I recall the meeting," Rivera says. "I don't recall the specifics of the conversation. I remember that during the meeting the commissioner raised some concerns that were generic about promotions. The commissioner may have brought up the name of Manning, but I don't recall."
Manning claims he knows nothing about the meeting and says he has never discussed with Burke A or anyone else A his desire to be promoted. "I never asked anyone for any position in this department," he says. "If that meeting took place, I think at the time Commissioner Burke was chairman of the public safety committee and he probably would have had some concern about who was being placed in what position and what their qualifications were."

5 Tips To Cool Your Worries About Your Children
By Stacy York
When our first-born child, Stella was only 2 hours old, I said to my husband, "You better
have a darn good relationship with her for her entire life. You may be the only
connection we have to her in her teen years." He just looked at me like I was crazy. In
his defense, I probably was a little crazy. I had just gone through labor. That said, I
clarified my statement to him the next day and still stand by statement today. This is
how that conversation went:
Hubby: Are you aware that you lectured me about my relationship with our daughter
Me: Yep. I still feel that way.
Hubby: Help me understand.
Me: You see, girls are tough. They are emotional and passionate, curious and intense.
They are gentle and tough, sweet and bold. They are complicated. Eventually, they think they know more than their mothers. So, if they have a strong relationship with their fathers, they won't stray too far and try to get their needs met by some teenager. Dad can be the mediator if needed.
Hubby: You got all of that in her first two hours of life?
I just smiled. This story had formed many years ago. The seed of what a daughter
needs was planted in my heart long before I became a mother. I am the oldest of 3 girls
and have also worked with hundreds of teenagers. While I was pregnant, I thought
about what I wanted our relationship with our child to be like. We didn't know if we were
having a girl or a boy. Quite frankly, the thought of parenting scared the daylights out of
me. So, when that precious little bundle joined our world, I wanted to make sure the
three of us were on the same page.
This is just a little glimpse into how a parent might worry about her child. As I reflect on
that moment, I realize now that I was so worried about our daughter's future 15 years
from that moment, that I was not 100% present, in the moment, with my husband and
our daughter. I later learned a great quote, "Fear causes us to worry about the future,
react from the past, and takes us out of the present." I am not sure who stated that, but
it has been a mantra in my head over and over as I work with my husband to raise our
I have enlisted a few parenting strategies that I use and I teach others to use in order to get through those moments of worry:

"This was exactly what we wanted. Looks perfect and is so fun for a little girls birthday! Delivery was beyond quick! Will definitely be ordering more stuff in the future. Thank you tinyprints!"
"What can I say - lovely thick paper, well printed, a very handy RSVP service, and quick shipping! I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase."
"This card turned out perfect. The color, the product of paper used and just the overall look, captured the characteristics of my sweet little boy beautifully. I received many compliments on this invite. Thanks tiny prints!"
"I ordered this card with the pearl finish and it just looked wonderful. Also used a closeup picture of my kid. Everybody loved it!"
"I paid the small fee for the actual review, and customized the colors with bright pink/yellow to go with the Fantastic First stickers and address labels. The review came back quickly and was exactly what I wanted - and I received my order quickly, too. Super satisfied with the quality (as always - I always have been with this company and have ordered several times through them), and the customer service was outstanding. ::happy customer::"

The people who ran big companies were always relatively well paid, but the meaning of "relatively well paid" is now altogether different. Finance employs more people, recruits more able people and pays them a lot more. These effects have not been seen in countries, such as France and Germany, that have proved more resistant to financialisation.

text: http://ubuntuforums.org – So you have a Toshiba NB200 / Dynabook UX / NB205. Some things don't work out of the box in Jaunty UNR 9.04. The following guide should help get as much as possible up and working. I'll try to keep it up to date. WiFi - First and foremost if you want WiFi to work in Linux the DO NOT turn it off in Windows. A mistake I made and have learnt from. Turning off the WiFi in Windows will disable the WiFi in Linux, completely. The best you can hope for then is that the interface shows up in ifconfig. It will not broadcast or detect any signals. You can ensure it's on by the presense of the the WiFi LED on the front of the machine. Making WiFi work once activated is simply a matter of Code: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty Congratulations you've made WiFi work. Sound - The NB200 contains a Realtek ALC272 chip apparently this chip can be configured in many, many ways. The good news, the chip is supported in Linux by the ALSA drivers, the not so good news is that in UNR 9.04 the best you can currently hope for is headphone audio only. If you're will to live without the latest software, apparently audio works fine in 8.04. Since the internal speakers on the NB200 are completely crap anyway, personally I'd rather have 9.04 and headphones. update to the latest (1.0.20 ) Alsa drivers. add the following repository to your sources. https://launchpad.net/~rlinfati/+archive/ppa Instructions for how to add the PPA are listed on the site so I won't go over them here. Using your favourite package manager perform the update or from the command line. Code: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade When complete, edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf using your favourite editor. Addthe following line to the bottom Code: options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode4 adjust the levels in alsamixer and reboot. Plug in some headphones or external speakers and you're good to go. Video Playback Performance - During playback of videos I noticed tearing of the material. After a little hunting I found that the problem is known about and fixed in the latest stable xorg release. Add the following PPA https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates As above update your package list and upgrade a quick reboot and video is crisp and smooth. Touchpad - I couldn't seem to get the settings right on this for a few days, it was too sensitive and yet strangely sluggish at the same time. A bit of searching turned up the attached touchpad.fdi file. Download the attached file touchpad.fdi.gz and unzip it. As root copy the file to where it belongs and reboot. Code: sudo cp touchpad.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ after the reboot Code: apt-get install gsynaptics this program allows more complete setup of the touchpad than the included application but it requires the first step be performed before it will run. Something to do with SHMConfig option in the fdi file. I don't really understand it but I don't need to in order to know it made an appreciable difference. Bluetooth - Unknown, I don't think it works but I don't know enough about using bluetooth under Linux to make a comment. Internal G-Sensors - Fairly sure these don't work but I understandably didn't want to try too hard to crash the heads on my HDD. Under Windows they require a Toshiba supplied driver to function so it's safe to say that they probably don't work yet under Linux. My only remaining issue that bugs me a little. Is that if I'm downloading something sizable and don't touch the laptop at all for a few seconds it seemingly frezzes until you move the touchpad. The length of time is not fixed it could be 3 minutes it could be 3 seconds. But it won't do anything until you move the mouse. Very strange and I'm sure there must be a power management setting somewhere that's linked to inactivity but I've checked all the obvious ones and they made no difference. At this point everything else should work as far as I can see. Attached Files touchpad.fdi.gz (295 Bytes) (Hardware)

The Rev. Don Roszkowski believes in the power of prayer — to a point. He's a Cubs fan.
Roszkowski, a pastor at the St. John's Catholic Church in Clinton, Ill., stands behind a chain-link fence at Fitch Park Thursday, waiting for the Cubs' pitchers and catchers to begin their first workout of the spring.
His clerical collar peeks out from underneath a blue Cubs sweater. He's holding two baseballs in his left hand, a pen in his right hand.
The Bible says, "God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength."
He cut it pretty close, though, with that National League Championship Series loss to the Florida Marlins.
"It was a heartbreak for me," Roszkowski said. "I was depressed for a couple of weeks. I couldn't get it out of my brain."
Some good came out of the sorrow, though.
"I was able to talk to some people in the church about seeing light out of heartbreak," Roszkowski said. "The Cubs are a good example."
The best.
But as spring warms the air and the sight of Greg Maddux warms the heart, the ever-faithful Cubs fans are certain this will finally be their championship season.
"I was talking to a friend of mine, and we couldn't remember ever being more excited about a year," said Steve Lambert, a Chicago native who now lives in Highland, Calif.
The Cubs have tried to burn the smoldering embers of the NLCS with an aggressive offseason in which they signed first baseman Derrek Lee, second baseman Todd Walker, catcher Michael Barrett, reliever LaTroy Hawkins and, finally, welcomed home Maddux with a three-year, $24 million deal.
They believe the National League is theirs for the taking, and those interested in reliving the past might as well have been talking to a wall Thursday morning.
"I've been asked about 2003," said Cubs manager Dusty Baker. "When Dick Clark . . . when that ball drops in New York, 2003 is over. There were a lot of good parts to 2003, but I don't dwell on the negative memories."
"Everything is in the past," added pitcher Carlos Zambrano. "I don't want to remember. I just want to talk about the future and where we are now."
It's not that simple, of course. These are the Curse of the Billy Goat Cubs, the 1969 Cubs, the ground ball through Leon Durham's legs Cubs, Steve Bartman's Cubs.
The scars are 85 years old and they can't be wished away. "To come that close and not win, it consumes you," Lambert said. "It's all you think about at work, it's all you think about at home."
Lambert's son, Max, kneeled on the grass beside him. He's 13 years old and he lost a lot of tears when Game 7 ended. He's still not over it.
"They were robbed," he said quietly.
Lambert brought his son to spring training so they could heal. They looked out upon Maddux, Kerry Wood and Mark Prior. They talked about the possibilities. They began, Lambert said, "to get over it all."
It's spring.
It's what Cubs fans do.

A delectable collection of cookie recipes from New York's best chefs, pastry chefs, and bakers. Cookies are the perfect end to a wonderful meal. One-bite meringues and macaroons melt in your mouth, while linzers and tuiles are the ultimate fanciful confections. Tracey Zabar has selected distinctly original cookie recipes from seventy-five of the very best culinary talents in Manhattan. Some are the chefs' personal recipes, while others are the signature creations of top restaurants-Le Cirque, Eleven Madison Park, Gramercy Tavern, Artisanal, City Bakery, Felidia, Daniel, and Blue Hill at Stone Barns are included in this scrumptious mix.
This irresistible array of more than ninety confectionary recipes for the home baker includes butterscotch and oatmeal cowboy cookies from Chef Mario Batali and his son Benno; coconut macaroons from master baker Sarabeth Levine; a chocolate chip cookie invented by Chef Todd English of Olives that combines his children's favorite chocolate flavors with walnuts; Chef Jason Weiner of Almond's rugelach; and Eli Zabar's tempting buttery sugar cookies. There are also international cookies-Jammy Dodgers from England, wedding cookies from Puerto Rico, Kipferl from Austria, and Lamingtons from Australia. And chefs Francois Payard, Andre Soltner, and Daniel Boulud have added artful creations to the plate. This beautifully photographed book will not only appeal to discriminating dessert lovers but also to fans of New York City's culinary scene, the cookie-swap aficionado, and the bake-sale maven.
About the Author

My first post, sorry for it being so long but it is REALLY REALLY important.
The LA County sheriff election is coming on quick and with that comes the ability of actually getting a CCW (concealed weapons carrying permit). It is basically impossible to get right now so electing a PRO-CCW sheriff will change everything and perhaps normal people can get the permits rather than billionaires that buy the sheriffs off.
Anyways, this was all started from a thread on CalGuns.net with a great idea on finding a pro-CCW candidate and donating money to their campaign so they actually have a chance to win.
That is the thread (and it is copied below as well). We really need everyone to step up and donate money and VOTE for the right candidate.
After all the research and discussion the calgun.net members found that Ken Masse (www.kenmasse.com) would be the BEST candidate to replace Baca out there right now.
So, to sum it up:
1. Vote for Ken Masse for Sheriff
2. Donate (PLEASE) some cash to his campaign fund
3. Include on your check, cash, or online payment the words CalGuns.net and CCW in BRIGHT RED so he knows where it came from
4. Please pass it on to every Second Amendment supporter you know, the more the better.
They have raised over $1000 dollars all ready and it is growing everyday.
If you have any questions please respond with them, pm them, email them or catch me on AIM.
To ALL Calguns.net members,
I want to challenge you today. The challenge is for us to make a major impact on Californian's ability to obtain a CHL (concealed handgun license). We can do this by replacing Los Angeles County Sheriff Baca. If that happens, we could almost double the number of CHL holders in the state.
Why are CHLs important? (1) To protect yourself, your loved ones and any other innocent victims when you are away from your home in normal times, or especially after a major disaster (Remember post-Katrina New Orleans? The Rodney King riots?). (2) In case you ever are a witness to a violent crime and the perp gets out on bail. (3) In case you are ever the victim of domestic abuse or a stalker.
Why sheriffs? Because sheriffs are usually the ones who determine whether a resident within their county can obtain a CHL. Also, unlike heads of police departments, sheriffs are directly elected by the residents within their jurisdiction.
Why LA County? Acc to http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06/06037.html , there are roughly 10 million LA county residents and 28% are under 18. Lets guess that 30% are under 21. That means there are about 7 million potential applicants. If only 2% apply, that's 140,000 applications. If only 1/4th are approved under the new sheriff, that means well have 35,000 new CHL holders in California almost doubling the total number. That gives a lot more people a vested interest in stopping restrictions upon our 2nd A rts. It will show that CHL holders in major urban centers are not a source of criminal activity, but rather, that murders, rapes, and aggravated assaults all go down when law-abiding citizens can carry ( http://www.nraila.org/Issues/FactSheets/Read.aspx?ID=18 ). A side benefit is it will cause many residents in other urban counties to pressure their sheriffs and chiefs of police to follow LAs example. Plus, it will be such a shockwave throughout California politics that Sacramento will be less arrogant in attacking our 2nd Amendment rights to keep and bear arms.
Who to support? According to the previous thread ( http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...ad.php?t=29691 ), either Ken Masse ( www.kenmasse.com ) or Don Meredith ( http://meredithforsheriff.com/ ) would be better than Baca re CHLs. Most who have participated at CGN seem to think Masse is the better candidate. Unfortunately, we must factor in which one is more likely to beat Baca, not just which one is more CHL-friendly. Determining that will take some net searching, phone calling, and foot work by those in LA county (see Tasks below). They need to find out who is the stronger challenger to Baca and then let the rest of us know by next Wed morning.
How to support? We have 4,100 CGN members. If only 3,000 of us get 3 (or more) of our friends to join within one week, we'd have 13,100 members (remember to tell them joining CGN is FREE). If 10,000 of us then immediately send checks for $20 (or more), that will be an instant infusion of $200,000 to the pro-CHL candidate in the last 7 weeks of his campaign. I think $200,000 coming in out-of-the-blue might shake things up down there. If those 3 new CGN members in turn get 3 other people to join here, and more importantly, contribute to the campaign, that would be a $800,000 contribution! That sheriff will know who made his win possible and will know that if he does not lower the barriers to CHL issuance, 3 years from now we will organize again, this time to replace him.
I'm willing to risk $20 to try to dump Baca and I'm in the Bay Area. Mailing a check is a lot "cheaper" in time, money, and effort than printing up flyers and driving around to shooting ranges and gun stores to gather signatures. We, here at CGN forum, can have a major impact on that election if we choose. All it takes is the will to skip seeing two movies ($10 each), that you probably wont remember 6 months later.
Timeline: EVERYBODY sends out this posting as part of an email invitation to at least 3 of their pro-2nd Amendment, pro-gun friends IMMEDIATELY. People in LA county contact each other and form organization this weekend (choose your leaders/officers and pro-2nd Amendment or pro-safety name for your org, but not one with a negative connotation, otherwise the candidate may decline your help lest he get bad PR). They carry out steps 1, 2, and 3 by next Tuesday evening. They carry out step 4 Wednesday early morning (before 7:00 am). Then EVERBODY -- hopefully including thousands of new CGN members -- goes to Calguns.net's "Gun rights, political, and legal" forum to see what candidate to support and IMMEDIATELY mails their $20 to that candidate and emails a ONE TIME ONLY reminder to the friends they invited to CGN to check for the chosen candidates name and address info. Next Wed and Thursday, step 5. So, the candidate should have a bunch of new volunteers starting in one week and get all the money within 2 weeks.
Feel free to post this on other gun/RKBA/political forums. People from out of state (friends, family, former or future CA residents, pro-2nd A people, etc.) can support this effort too.
The question is, how much do we want to win? Are we willing to spend a lousy $20 to win LA county? Are pro-CHL people in LA county willing to fight constantly for the next 8 weeks for change? If we sit on the sidelines and dont play the game, how do we expect to win? If we dont act now, we wont have another chance to replace a major countys anti-CHL sheriff with a pro-CHL one until 2010!
The only thing that is worse than having done nothing to turn this state around is to continue to do nothing. Lets do this!
Tasks for those in LA county who want to head this up:
1. What does the local NRA Members Council/GOC people think of the different candidates? What do local deputies/police think of the different candidates?
2. How much money have the different candidates raised? How much did the last contested race cost each contestant? The best place to start would be the LA county clerk's office or registrar of voters.
3. Which challenger has the more professional and organized campaign? Which one has raised more money? Is there any polling data to indicate where the challengers stand (check with the LA Time local politics desk)? Is the other willing to quit and support his former opponent so as to not split the anti-Baca vote?
4. Leave a posting on CNGs Gun rights, political and legal forum announcing the chosen challenger and his website so we know where to mail our checks.
5. LA county members work up their own email list among each other; determine the days and hours they can volunteer; contact the chosen candidate telling them how many volunteers you represent and ask them how you can help, what days & times (sons & daughters might be able to help as part of a class project); and then get at it. Determine who will promote this on other gun/RKBA/political forums and update us on your campaign and anyway those of us outside of LA can help.
We only have 8 weeks until the June elections for Californias sheriffs. Many people mail absentee ballots weeks earlier, further cutting down on our time. Before that, flyers, signs, radio spots must be made and distributed/sold & aired by the candidates campaign committee. Before that, staff must be hired, phones installed, etc. All this takes time and money, so you have to act immediately for this to work. There is no time to be passive, to wait for meetings, people to contact you, etc. The LA people must be active and aggressive in getting things done. Remember, this is our ONLY opportunity to impact the issuance of CHLs in Kali for the next four years until the next sheriffs elections in 2010.

Perry was on a concert tour of the country and said that Brand was denied entry into Japan when he arrived to join her.
Brand, who married Perry last year, has battled drug and alcohol addiction and has been arrested numerous times.

Home to around two-thirds of all plant and animal species found on land — in addition to the millions of people who depend on them for survival — our remaining ancient forests are some of our most diverse ecosystems. They are also vitally important to the health of our planet, especially when it comes to regulating the climate.
With so many of the world's forests already destroyed, we urgently need to protect what is left. Yet industry is still relentlessly converting forests into disposable products that end up in our shopping baskets - while pushing species to the brink of extinction, destroying the lives and livelihoods of forest communities and exacerbating global climate change. We need your help to protect what forests remain.
Around the world, forests are being logged for timber and paper pulp and cleared to grow mono-crops like soy and palm oil while also deteriorating from impacts of global warming. Deforestation is a major driver of global warming, responsible for up to 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions–more than all the cars, trucks, planes, boats and trains in the world combined.
Learn more about our motivation.
Solutions to deforestation exist. We're campaigning for zero deforestation globally by 2020.
Read more about our vision.
Whether it's convincing Barbie to go for greener packaging or partnering with the music industry to promote responsible-sourced instruments, our supporters can fortunately celebrate several victories for the forests.

The Witches
Report Written By: Makayla Dempsey
The book that I read is called The Witches. Roald Dahl is the author of this book. The story was published by FSG Kids Books and text copyright in the year 1983. The illustrations are by Quentin Blake.
The story The Witches is about a boy and his grandma from Norway, and how they came across real witches. The grandma knew a lot about witches because she had seen them before. She would tell her grandson everything she knew about them. These witches looked like normal people, so you would not know you were looking at a witch, even if it was your teacher. The witches were in disguise. They wore wigs because they were bald, and they always wore gloves to hide their claws that they had instead of fingernails. A witch would walk a little weird because their feet were big, rectangular and toeless feet, and they always hurt. If you looked really close at a witch, you would see that they have slue spit, and their eyes are usually like fire or ice color. If a witch sees you, you will be taken away immediately or worse…turned into something because…WITCHES HATE CHILDREN!
There was a witch that ruled all witches in the world. She was called the Grand High Witch. The Grand High Witch created something called "Formula 86 Delayed Action Mouse Maker'. A drop of this formula was meant to be put into candy and given to children. If a child would eat this candy, the next day at 9:00a.m. they would quickly turn into a mouse. Every year all of the witches would come together and have a great big meeting. This particular year the meeting was held in a ballroom at a hotel in England. This hotel was also where the boy and his grandma were staying for the whole summer. The boy had pet mice with him at the hotel. He took his mice one day into the ballroom at the hotel to teach them how to do tricks, and it was the same ballroom where the witches were having their meeting. The boy heard everything until he was caught by the witches. He was given more than a drop of the formula by the Grand High Witch and he turned into a mouse. It happened so quickly because they gave him so much of the formula. Still a mouse, the boy went back to his grandma to tell her what had happened. She went back with him to the witches' meeting to steal a bottle of the "Formula 86 Delayed Action Mouse Maker'. When it was lunchtime, the boy put the Formula into the witches' soup, and all the witches tuned into mice. Now all the witches were mice, they were powerless, and the boy and his grandma saved the world. The boy was still a mouse but he was happy as long as he was still safe with his grandma.
I recommend this book to people my age because it was very interesting and exciting. The part I liked the best were the descriptions of the witches and how they disguised themselves.

A Tale of Two Sisters
By O'Connell-Cahill, Catherine Scobey, Annemarie
You, too, might find the story of your family in Sunday's gospel. MY SISTER AND I ARE FEATURED IN THE GOSPEL at Mass in a few weeks (September 28 to be exact). The Pharisees are harassing Jesus. He replies with the tale of a man who one day asked his two sons to go work in the family vineyard. One son told his dad that not for all the tea in China would he toil for hours in the vineyard, but eventually he went after all. Son No. 2 said, "Sure, Dad, I'll go," but then spent the day at the beach.
"Which of the two did the will of his father?" asked Jesus. The Pharisees answered, "The first." Then Jesus hammers them: "Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you" (Matt. 21:28-32).
My sister Barb stars as the first son. Surrounded by conflict avoiders, as a kid she alone did not shrink from an occasional protest about a chore she considered pointless or unfair; she often ended up doing it anyway.
I, like the other son, was content to duck the argument by saying, "Sure, Mom," followed later by, Oops, I meant to but I forgot." I can still perform this verbal sleight of hand as an adult. As you can imagine, it doesn't do my marriage any good.
Jesus certainly had a keen understanding of the human condition, didn't he? One of the wonderful things about being Catholic is that each week we see our orneriness and our struggles on display in the Word of God. Part of our job as parents is to connect the Christian story to the stories of our own family. The parables of Jesus especially are naturals for children.
I recall talking with my son about the story of the laborers in the vineyard (Matt. 20:1-16, coming to a pulpit near you on September 21), featuring an all-day recruiting session for vineyard workers. The dilemma comes when the fellows hired at 5 p.m. are paid the same wage as those who began at dawn. I tried to explain the concept of God's mercy falling on the just and the unjust, that those who arrive late are just as precious to God as those who have faith from the start. My son, age 10 and big into fairness, as 10- year-olds tend to be, was having none of it. "Those guys needed a union!" he cried.
ONE DAY WHEN I WAS HIS AGE, I OBSERVED THAT MY BEST friend next door had received a new bike, something I'd never had in my life. "Aren't you going out there?" asked my sister. "No," I said, turning from the window. Little did I know that I could have recognized myself at that moment in another parable, that of the prodigal son, as the boy on the hill who refused to go down for his brother's welcome-home party, green with envy and hard of heart.
My best friend had an alcoholic father, a violent home. The police used to come. Violence would follow her as she grew up. Could I not let her have the joy of a new bike? (Jesus understood all this, I'm glad to say.) Finally I made it out of the house to her side, a rather stilted smile on my face. Perhaps the boy on the hill made it down to the party after all.
Later that year my dad got me a bike at the police auction and painted it a jaunty red and white. A labor of love, and of course it rode better than anything new from Sears.

Pint-sized prayers
Words surround us. For children especially, a day can be an exhausting series of "times to listen." Amid all these words, how do we teach children to be silent and listen to the voice of God within themselves?
Journey to the Heart: Centering Prayer for Children by Frank X. Jelenek (Paraclete Press, 2007) is an invitation to enter into contemplative prayer and find inner peace. The book begins with a simple explanation that God's kingdom lives inside each of us. It then guides children through the steps of contemplative prayers- from choosing a sacred word to being still and silent and letting thoughts float away.

New to dieting
Hi. I was wondering if anybody could answer a question for me about snacking when on the sbd. I have been following it for three days now in phase 1 and I feel like I am eating way to much food to actually lose any weight. Kind of this diet is to good to be true type of thing. My question was, did everybody pay close attention to portion control? I'm not saying I eat like a pig but they say this is not about calories. How could a diet not be? Do you snack on just more then your cheese stick between meals? Maybe have some nuts or celery too? Do you find it makes a difference in your weight loss? Thanks for any help you can give me.

The humble mouse has been resting on our desks for too long says Logitech. Banishing the mouse mat to PC history it's announced the MX Air – a wireless controller par excellence.
Its full title spells it out pretty neatly; it's a 'Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse'. Translation: On your desk it's a precision laser mouse, in your hand it's a Wii-like navigator with gesture controls.
So when listening to music as we are oft wont to do, just wave it left or right to adjust the volume, or give a little flick of the wrist to skip tracks – Sansa Shaker style.
It also gets Chocolate-esque touch sensitive controls in place of a scroll wheel and a smart desktop stand to keep it charged and ready.
Such pointer luxury doesn't come cheap, mind, a round £100 will snare you one. Or you could attempt to hack your Wiimote with a trackball. The choice is yours.
